Michael Moore

We dined at Michael Moore's restuarant last night and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The food was excellent, the service very friendly and helpful, and the ambiance warm and inviting. The tables were not too close together, and it was not noisy, with pleasant music in the background. Then Michael Moore came and joined the tables and he was friendly, engaging and unexpectedly gave us a glass of champagne on the house when he heard it was an anniversary celebration.

The food was delicious, and we could taste all the wonderful different ingredients.

We will go there again, and we did not find it too expensive.

Thank you Michael and staff for making our evening so pleasant.

A very good friend who is a good and sensible restaurant chooser elected to go there on our regular restuarant meetings. I was reluctant as it was not listed in major guides like Square Meal etc. Food was excellent. Pea and ham soup out of this world. Met the chef Michael Moore. He could not have made a more enjoyable experience. Will definitley be a regular.

Superb gem of a restaurant.

We visited last week with a group of four. Although we had no prior reservation (mix up at other booked restaurant) we were accommodated without fuss. The food and service were excellent. Loved the place and will be back.

My husband and I had a marvellous fine dining experience when we opted for the Tasting Menu last week. The food was exceptional and the wines matched perfectly.

I hadn't been to Michael Moore for some time and it was good to be back for a business lunch. The food was still excellent. The service was great and timed just right for lunch. Particularly enjoyed the game salad and Norwegian scallops, which were really succulent. A very reliable place.

I brought business colleagues to Michael Moore restaurant for a relaxed dinner to talk and sum up the meeting we had in London. I hunt and fish my dinners myself in Norway so I am quite choosy especially when eating game or fresh fish.

I had Michaels moose fillet and it was very well prepared and tasted lovley. One of my frieds chose the halibut and he also was very impressed. He is partly grown up in the Lofoten area and used to fresh Norwegian fish.

Advice on wine, good atmosfere and an excellent service topped off a tremendously successful evening. Thanks!

NOT WORTH IT. The food is however is divine - very creative, huge flavours, the most perfectly cooked lamb I have eaten. Desert was a sublime chocolate trio with great intensity of sweet and chocolate.

BUT the portions are so small that (i dont exaggerate) my lamb main (at £27 without sides) was enough for 3 small mouthfuls. Sides (spinach pototoes etc) are not quite enough for 2 to share at at nearly £4 each side that is ridiculous.

The service was great too (not sure about the chef coming out to chat/flirt with everyone at 10 pm) but the atmosphere is ZERO - almost embarassingly quiet (the next table stopped talking to listen while we ordered), the music was so quiet that we could hear clearly every word from the table behind us as if we were all on one table. Worst atmophere of any place i have been to in London (and have been to a lot!).

The decor is just plain white with two awful peach paintings. The lights are too bright, its all a bit clinical, boring and now a bit run down. The toilets and steps are so small that even I at 5'6" had to be careful not to bang my head. Tables too small by miles so that on our table for 2 we had to keep asking for glasses and plates ot be taken away so we had some room for things.

Shame as the food was very clever and delicious and if they made the decor better, put on some decent music and increased the portions by 50%, it would be well worth the £170 for two people for 3 courses and one bottle of wine plus one other drink.

I had a lovely meal at Micheal Moore's recently - the food is fresh and authentic, sophisticated with out being fussy and the service impeccable and warm. I had the trout which was prepared to bring out its best. It is just the kind if intimate neighbourhood type restaurant that I wish I had in my neighbourhood. Not inexpensive but not over the top either and the level of cooking is well above the price point. It is the type of restaurant that once discovered you will want to go to repeatedly because it has this unique combination of being special but making you feel very at home.

Was very impressed by this place, and glad I took the recommendation of my friend to visit. The service was spot on and set a positive tone for the evening.

I thoroughly enjoyed each of the 3 courses, there wasn't a weak point in that respect. It was a little pricey, but not overpriced considering the quality and and diversity of the menu. There is also a very soothing atmosphere which significantly added to my enjoyment of the evening

A lot of the reviews on here so far seem particularly critical, perhaps a bit harsh in my oppinion. I would happily eat here again.
