   Mine gripe the main course came out literally as they took the starter plates away. It all felt extremely rushed. Also I don’t like the fact they charged 13.5% service for mediocre service.

   13.5% for service charge! Slightly tainted the evening seeing this automatically added to the bill. Coats appears to be creeping up for a distinctly average service.

   Hi Jim, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the service charge left a less-than-positive impression on your evening. As is standard practice across many London restaurants, a discretionary service charge is added to the bill, but we always aim to ensure the service provided reflects its value. We genuinely regret if this wasn’t your experience on this occasion. Your comments are much appreciated and will be shared with the team, as we’re always looking to improve. We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a more enjoyable experience. Best, Sarah

   We had a great time and got additional space for our pushchair. The location was great. We really appreciate Rizwan’s service, he was very kind, considerate and friendly. He gave us some very good suggestions (the berry deep oven pancake was Devine) which we enjoyed and was attentive, he returned a few times to make sure all was well and enjoyed our conversations.

We’re especially pleased to hear Rezwan made such a positive impression — he’s a real gem on our team, and your compliments will mean the world to him. The berry deep oven pancake is something special, isn’t it? We’re glad his recommendations hit the spot!

   My minute steak was fatty and hard to cut. I was disappointed with my meal. I felt the steak was poor.

   The sourdough toast was burnt through-listening black and smelt burnt- not sure how that left the kitchen that way!. The staff were very disappointing, poor attention to detail. We requested one of the starters to be brought with mains and they brought it with starters.

    Always love the vibe at Riding House, Fitzrovia. Food is great, restaurant is great, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. Special mention to Marios who always goes above and beyond! Keep it up and I'll keep coming back!

    Hi Antoni, Well, this has positively made our day! We're absolutely chuffed to hear you always enjoy the vibe at Riding House Fitzrovia — we do try to keep things deliciously laid-back (with just the right amount of sparkle). Huge thanks for the kind words about the food, the space, and our lovely team. We’ll be sure to pass your special shoutout along to Mariusz — though we suspect he’ll be floating a few inches off the ground for the rest of the week now! See you soon, Izabela
