Foxtrot Oscar by Gordon Ramsay

My memories from Foxtrot Oscar combine a love for the atmosphere, the food (of course!), and most importantly for my late husband and I, the fact that they could accommodate us as the deluge of rain water had drenched us as we toured Chelsea the day of the subway bombings, July 5, 2005. Yes. I have told many, many friends and family of this wet adventure along Cheney Walk then to find a sweet little oasis to shelter and feed us with bon hommie. Thanks very much and I hope to return next year, 2012. From a fan in Victoria British Columbia.

One of the most underwhelming dining experiences ever!

Considering the effing and jeffing he does in other people's restaurants you'd think he might have perfected his own first.

French onion gravy - sorry, soup, to start. Pork in Chinesey bbq sauce, plain white rice and an 'asian salad' - a few coriander leaves, celery and some cucumber. Could've done it better myself.

The food, whilst not unpleasant, was boring and lacking in imagination and the decor just about finished it off. Boring, boring, boring!

The staff was very pleasant though - attentive and polite. If not a little boring.

Another great experience,

was my second visit this year and did not dissapoint . My wife and I decided to go on Friday night and enjoy the special steak and wine offer. it was a delicious meat and a perfect wine match included in the price.

Service is welcoming and attentive and as expected the place was buzzy and charmy on a week end evening but no one rushed us and we had really jolly time.

Defo a must try restaurant.

Yesterday being Sunday we booked a table for nine to enjoy a family roast, we were asked to guarantee the booking to the tune of £30 per head ! we could only 'get in' at 2.30pm so we all arrived at 2.00pm...and were shown to a table in the basement with no windows and certainly no atmosphere...after a huge effort we manage to buy a round of drinks....after an hour we managed to sit down upstairs and were told that all the roasts were gone and we had to use their set menu...after another hour it was agreed that we could have a roast which wasn't bad...the service was appalling, the food was a joke and we will never go again...I think the words FO come to mind...the worst restaurant I have ever been to...

Visited Foxtrot Oscar yesterday with a friend as a birthday treat. Found the restaurant very hot and stuffy. Quite a dull dark place as well. Food was very average. Pea soup portion small, had spaghetti for mains, far too much pesto on it. Left you feeling very thirsty. Could have done with something fresh served with it to lighten it up. The pot of tea we had after meal was the best thing about it! Would not go again.

Last friday a group of friends and I went for the first time to Foxtrot Oscar , our expectations were high considering how much Mr Ramsay yell at other people , but I need to admit that I can t think at one single thing which I can pick to be difficoult.

Food fantastic , just like you want tasty generous portions. I had white onion soup followed by slow cooked pork belly ( wow...) , they had available a Steak night promotional price of £50 with a Bt of wine included in the price, my friends the went for it and it was the biggest and tastiest rib i never had.

The service is friendly, very attentive it shows they know what they are doing...

I liked everything and at the time of the bill no BAD surprices...

... I will definetely go back some time soon

I had a dinner at Foxtrot last week and I decided to drop a line to say how good it was.

My girlfriend and I had a 3 courses dinner deal at £22 and it was a great deal, food is good portion are big and in addition the staff around is fun and professional.

It is a bistro' but there is a lot attention to details when u talk to the staff that u really feel what a massive difference to other places( Gordon Ramsay standards??? I think so!.

To understand you should try! Any way Highly raccomend it

It was a great evening , we were at Foxtrot Oscar for the first time looking for a place which would offer a great food experience ( considering Gordon other restaurant we thought this was a less pricy one ) and possibly well look after knowing the Mr Ramsay standards...

...well this place delivered at perfection what we wanted.

Staff are nice friendly but very attentive and the food is to die for . We loved any moment and definetely will go back.

We liked the fact the staff is helpful just when u need them to be the atmsphere is very relaxed . We tried things like pork terrine and cod with chorizo and Foxtrot Burger for me and Pork belly and I loved it all (and large portion too). Definetely reccomend it .

Our bill was £76 for 2 very good considering we also had cocktails and wine...

Took family for evening meal to celebrate my daughters 21st birthday.

Staff were friendly and courteous with perfect timing between courses.

Did not know what to expect food wise but could not fault anything having had the Pork Belly myself for a main course which i would recommend. The staff even put a candle on my daughters desert course and sang happy birthday which was a very nice touch. Would have no problem recommending this restaurant to anyone and will be visiting again in the future.

I am just writing to say that my friend and I went to Foxtrot for a special occasion (my birthday) last saturday dinner and we all absolutely loved it...

The staff was very welcoming and helpful we arrived later then our booking time but the Manager who greet us was very charmy and understanding he kept our table and let us feel comfortable right away.

Once showed the way to table a very polite waitress offered us an aperitif and asked us if there was anything she could help with don't hesitate to call any of the staff( and I loved that kind of attitude)

The food was delicious we tried dishes like pigeon, a combination of smoked salmon and scallops with black pudding no comment on how good they were , but our mains were to die for Braised beef is what I had and I could have 100 more ah ah ah , we also tried a Game pie very good and my girlfriend who is vegetarian had a roasted pamkin which was very good too...

The best however was the end when they surprised me with an apple and cranberry charlotte with an Happy Birthday message written on it (with chocolate) and a candle.

I was impressed with how much care they do things there. few staff came over wished happy birthday ...

I would go back there anytime again. Highly reccomended.
