Mildred's

We found Mildreds quite by accident and it was wonderful - not being vegetarian ourselves were were amazed how full of flavour everything was and the service was second to none. We will certainly be visiting again.

Wonderful food and I used to eat here a lot - really let down by the staff, who are really rude and aloof. I love the food here, but am so tired of the staff, I am never going back.

Dont book the private dining room - they will just ignore you.

Wow what a find, loved it, we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, but that was fine the waiter started us a bill at the bar and we got started into a rather nice bottle of red.

Yes it was noisy, busy and packed and the staff were running like crazy, but there was such a nice buzz about the place, not quite like anywhere else I have been in Soho.

Service was fast and friendly, and the food was fantastic, what a great mushroom pie and you have got to have the cheesecake.

Will definatly be going back. Thank you Mildreds

Have been back to Mildred's twice since last review. The food was still up to their excellent standard and we cannot recommend it highly enough. If only it were twice the size!. However, when you have super veggie food accompanied by Joni Mitchell on the sound system, who could ask for more!.

I have been to Mildred's several times.

Each visit has left me both satisfied and dissatisfied in equal measures which is quite bemusing I know.

The food is great and reasonably priced, yet the staff are somewhat aloof and unhelpful.

The fact I continue to dine at Mildred’s from time to time obviously shows how fond I am of the menu. If you like good food and snobbish waiters and waitresses you have struck restaurant gold.

Have been here twice, the first time for dinner. It's casual and easy-going, and serves tasty and uncomplicated vegetarian only cuisine. The food prices are very reasonable for the area (8 for a burger), though drinks are a bit much (3 for a juice).

As I said, the atmosphere is casual and modern but home-like. You have to wait as there are no reservations, and the queue can be half hour easily. The food is worth it if you want something simple, filling, and healthy.

The downside here is the service - I can concur with earlier reviewers speaking of nasty employees. Our last lunchtime visit was great, except for being ignored for a while before ordering, and being practically thrown the food. Luckily the service charge is optional, so vote with your pocketbook if you are disappointed on that end.

I might go back again, but only if I'm feeling tolerant!

Went to Mildred's today. Suffered a torrent of abuse from a male waiter for moving seats (in the empty restaurant). His bellowing continued as we were leaving. And he was still having a go as we closed the door. Shame as I'd previously only experienced good things. Will never ever be going again. He was terrifying.

I went to Mildred's last night for the first time for a friend's birthday. She had booked the private function room upstairs as there were 23 of us. It is a great venue for a dinner party/function- a bit of a squeeze but fine if everyone's sitting down.

I was very impressed with the food. The choice, quality, and presentation all socred top marks with a self-confessed picky vegetarian who gets bored of the obigatory mushroom options elsewhere. The food even impressed the meat-eaters that had been dragged along. The prices were extremely reasonable and and the house organic white wine was affordable and recommendable!

Although I echo the "sulky" comments made by other reviewers it was only a small majority of staff and service on the whole was friendly and pretty fast considering the size our group.

I will definitely be going again and again, and the cornbread will be top of my wish list.

Our first visit to Mildreds was a delight. Friendly and welcoming staff, absolutely delicious food (we are very fussy diners!) - the bill was extremely reasonable - we would have happily paid much more and have done so in the past for vastly inferior food. It was so relaxing also knowing we could eat anything from the menu instead of one or two token options stuck in for appearance sake. We will definitely be going back.

I loved this place! I went for the first time last night with two friends and we had a lovely meal. The food was lovely - we ordered olives and bread for starters. The olives were delicious and the bread basket contained lovely, salty rosemary foccacia slices and savoury nutty brown bread. For mains we ordered the tagine, the mushroom pie and the veggie bangers and mash. Everyone in the party enjoyed their meal and the portions were generous. I tried the orange pannacotta for dessert and it was amazing - I never usually have the pannacotta (because of the gelatine) but this veggie version was lovely. The decoration of marinated prunes and madeline biscuit were a nice touch (and delicious).

We found the service to be very good, even though the restaurant was busy. The waiters found time to chat, to make recommendations, and to be pleasant. This was a surprise after reading the reviews on this site.

Our bill came to £67 including the service charge. This covered two serves of olives, bread, three main courses, one dessert, and alcoholic drinks. For central London, I thought this was extremely good value.
