http://www.london-eating.co.uk/23006.htm Orso Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating From the moment we came in we felt welcome and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Justin served our table and really looked after us. He was helpful, friendly and really added to our evening. He even organised our taxi at the end of the meal. In short the service was excellent. And then to top off the evening, the food was perfect. We all ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2019.htm quite disappointing. the sea bass was clearly frozen, and no amount of cooking or flavoring could remove that taste. the pear gorgonzola salad was passable, but the pear was well before ripe, i finally found the walnut, and the gorgonzola. the asparagus was MUSH - no flavor and completely overcooked - maybe even canned. the staff was ok, ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2019.htm My husband and I popped into Orso for a post theatre dinner. I hadn't been here for a number of years and had remembered it to be a really special place. We were greeted in such a welcoming manner and despite being the last to be seated for dinner on a busy Saturday night we never felt rushed. I started with the fish soup which was fantastic ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2019.htm It's interesting to see such mixed reviews here. We went to Orso for a late dinner this week and found it to be really excellent. I used to bring business clients here for lunch some years ago, as it was one of the few decent restaurants in the area, but I wasn't sure it would have maintained its quality. The menu provides a great selection of ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2019.htm Really surprised to see bad reviews of this place; I enjoyed an excellent meal there last night. The menu is worryingly large - it's hard to believe that they can keep all of this food fresh and ready to go. Sure enough, my main wasn't available - luckily there was lots that looked good to choose from. Ended up with some lightly grilled squid, ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2019.htm What a disappointment even though forewarned by the many mixed reviews. I found the basement only dingy, not "buzzy", the wait staff overbearing (asking if you want refills before you've finished your drink) and the food so mediocre it was depressing. Although assured the asparagus would be fresh, it wasn't (you can tell when you cut ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2019.htm Just had dinner here before going to the theatre and it was great. I looked at some reviews beforehand and they were rather mixed, however, I thought it was great. I had asparagus to start which was lovely and linguine as a main course which was perfect with a great kick from the chilli. The service was quick and friendly, the toilets were ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2019.htm I went here on my birthday with a group of 6. 2 of the peeps coming were like 1.5 hour late so we drunk about 3-4 jugs of wine here. the staff had no problem with us waiting and keep the table. It was quite busy being in the heart of theatre land. The restaurant is down in the basement. Its quite large lots of tables, lots of people in ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2019.htm Had the pre-theatre dinner menu here last week. The food was excellent, service snappy, and the price extremely reasonable. There was a great buzz, even at 6pm. The a la carte menu is very long so it may be better to settle for the fixed price menus if they are available when you dine. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2019.htm Just visited for the first (and last time) 16/12. I had veal & parmasan meatball in a tomato sauce - the most insipid meal I have ever eaten, the sauce was weak and watery. My partner ordered boiled beef and was served steak and, although this was changed without question, I had finished my meal by the time hers had arrived. With wine the ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2019.htm
