Fifteen

my boyfriend and i ate in the dining room on a friday evening. we ate from the tasting menu, which consisted of 6 courses for £60 per head. the food was absolutly fantastic, as well as the service. however i have to say for the two of us to have the food and 3 drinks between us the bill came to £170 which i think is a little pricey. but well worth it for a one off occasion

After dining at Maze, Boxwood Cafe and Locatelli's I couldn't wait to see what Fifteen had to offer but after being given the menu I was stuck for choice as nothing jumped out at me! I was very disappointed in the choices but went for the Gnocchi then the rib eye followed by a creme brulee.

The gnocchi was nice but very simple and seemed like a dish anyone could make with a tin of tomato and some meat! The steak I ordered was supposed to be medium-rare and came out rare! It was pretty much tasteless and I kept having to add salt to it! The biggest let down was the creme brulee which tasted like cold custard!

The staff were as helpful as they could be and the atmosphere is friendly and bubbly but I would only recommend going to Fifteen for a drink at most! The food is over priced and under seasoned!

Jamie has a long way to go before coming close to one of Mr Ramsay's restaurants!

Wouldn't recommend it, while my food was nice the restaurant was nothing special, they use far too much oil, there was no atmosphere and when my partner ordered the pork, after removing the fat he had about 1 square inch of meat !! Hence we had to go to the pub afterwards for him some more food........

Really disappointed.

Such a nice place to go to ! Having tried the restaurant last year (LOVED IT!) we tried the Trattoria this time. Although we got there an hour late on a Saturday night and arrived at 10pm (due to tube problems), the staff was very patient and accomodating. The food was perfect. It is simple Italian food perfectly done with the best ingredients. Everything was delicious and tasty and good value for money. I would definitely recommend it.

This place is great! My boyfriend & I went here to celebrate our anniversary and our expectations were far exceeded! The service was friendly but proffesional, the food was high quality but not pretentious and overall the bill was a reasonable £100 for two of us for three courses and a bottle of wine! I can'tt fault this place. The only drawback was having to eat at 6pm on the early sitting.

As a family of 3 (from Nottinghamshire) we visited the restaurant at lunchtime on Saturday 22/9/07 before heading off to see an afternoon performance of Phantom.

The restaurant was everything we expected it to be, on booking (about 2 months earlier) they had asked if we needed to be out by a specifict time - which we did, asked if any of our party had any allergies - which I do. Upon arrival we were promptly shown to our table downstairs in the restaurant and asked by what time we needed to leave in order that they could advise us on menu choices etc. and asked if they could pre-book us a taxi.

My husband ordered the tagliatellie and my daughter and I order the mushroom rissoto, we then sat back to enjoy the ambiance, very busy kitchen and happy attentive waiting staff, happy to chat about the 'apprentices' and their progress. Our food arrived promptly and was absolutely delicious, we then ordered 3 warm chocolate puddings with cherry compote, even tho' we were advised that these would take 15 mins to prepare. Once again they were served within 15 mins and beautifully presented, they were served with a small nutty biscuit, but our waiter said he had noticed (from our booking form) that I had a nut allergy and mine had been plated minus the biscuit - fantastic I didn't need to remind them of my allergy problem. We then ordered coffee and after paying our very reasonable bill, and thanking our waiter (we forgot to ask his name) Scottish guy for his help and advice on menu choices etc. sadly it was time to leave.

We will certainly go back - probably for an evening next time, we really felt part of the 'JO' experience, food was fab and staff excellent, thanks again -

went there on a saturday night for my husbands birthday, and have to say it was wonderful, or as Jamie would say Pukka!

Worth driving up from Essex for, could park right outside the restaurant (but only on evenings).

We had the set meal which consisted of 5 courses for £60 each, not including any drink.

The food was superb, and i must mention the crab which was out of this world, and the lovely touch of a couple of surprises during the courses was a delight.

The staff was so friendly, never been to a restaurant where they are so chatty and helpful, describing everything that was on your plate.

We sat downstairs, and was very relaxed, and comfortable, and the decor of this place is what can i say so Jamie Oliver style.

Its nice to see the new hopefuls at work, and when we went we had a batch of new chefs, which did a fantastic job.

What else can i say, i loved the place, even the dimly lit toilets with the fragrance candle burning.

Will we go back.....YES, cant wait

Had Sunday lunch in the Trattoria upstairs. The food is fantastic and ingredients very fresh (I am Italian and I believe this is good italian cusine). Moreover the prices are ok, since we paid £65 for 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 glasses of wine. Would definetly go back. Unfortunately the location is not great.

Despite the huge amount of negative review on this site, I went there with a friend for a Saturday lunch. It was incredible!

We shared a starter which was quite nice and came in a very generous portion. But the best was yet to come. The main course was absolutely stunning. We had a roasted leg of pork and Welsh lamb. The pork was said to be cooked for 12 hours, very tender, and the vegetables that went with it was well-flavoured! Oh... and those vegetables were supposed to be grown in Jamie's home^^

The dessert however was not as impressive as the main course, but still delicious and completed the wonderful meal.

Definitely will go there again!
