http://www.london-eating.co.uk/22697.htm Smiths of Smithfield Top Floor Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating I ate here on Sunday night and I have to agree with the majority of reviews. After reading all of the blurb about the ingrediants and sourcing of meat etc my expectation level was high. Unfortunately the food didnt match. I had the rump steak and it was by far the worst steak I've ever eaten. I had difficulty cutting it and trying to chew it ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1637.htm Four of us ate here on Friday night. I was a little unsure after reading some of the reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. The bar downstairs was a little busy but that is to be expected on a Friday after work. We ate at the Top Floor restaurant and we all thoroughly enjoyed our food. The squid is delicious and my steak was perfectly ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1637.htm I dined here on a busy Friday night. Service was very slow, with dishes taking a long time to come out of the kitchen (over 15 minutes for the starters!). They had run out of squid by 9.30pm, so their popular starter of salted squid was unavailable. We were only told about this when it came to ordering, so half the table had to choose another ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1637.htm My wife and I took her mother and father to SOS for a treat on 10th Feb. We have been to the bar and the dinning room several times and once to the top floor. I raved about the choice of meat and the quality of service!! We arrive a little early to be told that there was no longer a bar on the second floor as it has been turned into another ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1637.htm We were really looking forward to our visit for a Good steak at the Top floor at Smith's restaurant last Saturday evening. But we were So let down, especially as the meal was so expensive! The sirloin was tasteless and hard to cut. However the chips were very nice!! My friend had to send her steak back to the kitchen as it was not cooked the ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1637.htm Had dinner on Tuesday night and frankly was really dissapointed with the food. A starter of smoked eel was not exciting. The cote de bouef £58 for 2 to share was so bland that we didn't bother finishing it, it was fatty, chewy and no flavour whatsoever. For that price you would think that the chef would make an effort. And asked for medium ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1637.htm I am rather reluctant to praise any restaurant unless the whole package is perfect. Despite the reviews here my visit to the third floor was splendid. We walked in and were offered the last table on the roof terrace. Service was swift and polite. The food was excellent - it could have been priced at 10/15% less but never the less my ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1637.htm I have been to Smithfields twice now, once on the middle floor and once on the top floor. The top floor has the views, but like watching football in a hospitality suite, you'll pay the premium for the surroundings. On the middle floor which was still very pleasant, you will get much more value for your money. I had the best steak ever, it was ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1637.htm I wish I had read the reviews here first. Having chosen the restaurant from the hype in 'Square Mile' I took 5 colleagues last night. It is a poor restaurant that is very over-priced. The evening started badly when the wine waiter insisted that Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra "should be sour". No it should not! It was badly ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1637.htm I was very excited about going to Smiths of Smithfield on a recent weekend break to London. Having read the great write-up in Olive magazine. However, I must say that my partner and I were a bit disappointed. The atmosphere was quite stark and echoee and you could hear all the noise from the kitchen. Some music might have helped. The ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1637.htm
