Had lunch with a group of six.
The atmosphere is ok. It's a large airy place with a traditional decor that fits the financial district. The food was very good as well. We all enjoyed our menu selections. The service was slow and a little chaotic. It did impact how quickly we were able to get in and out. Overall a nice place, but could use a little improvement on the service side of the house.

Went for a business lunch with a prospect who recommended it. The setting is wonderful and the food (fregola salad for me and bangers and broccoli for my guest) were very nice. The two problems are that it's very noisy and about 2x the price that the food warrants. You are definitely paying for the setting. The service was fair and we had to find someone else to ask our waiter for the check. Nice if you want to impress and can tolerate the noise.

1 Lombard Street is in an ideal location in the City, near Bank. It wasn't terribly crowded when I ate there and we had a cozy banquette in the Brasserie on a rainy night. First, the service was impeccable and the servers were engaging and attentive. Importantly for me, they make a very decent American martini, not always easy to find in England. I started with their Caesar salad which comes with lardons and a fried duck egg on top. I have to say that it was one of the best Caesars I've ever had and I've eaten thousands probably. Because it was a chilly night, I ordered their bangers and mustard mash with onion gravy. It absolutely hit the spot. My companions had the pan-fried sea bass and the steak tartare which they both pronounced excellent. This place will become a regular stop when I'm in London from now on!

1 Lombard Street is a great spot in the City of central London for subdued after-work drinks on a Thursday night. Went there with a colleague to catch up. We sat at the bar. I loved that the ceilings are high with large skylights in a stylish rotunda letting in a ton of mid-June sunlight. This is a very bright spot in the long days of June. A real, uplifting bright spot on a sunny night in London.The drinks were great and also grabbed some shrimp and salad while we caught up. Great spot. Would look forward to going back. Not crowded at all -- so easy to hold a conversation on a Thursday night. This is a nice spot in the center of the City. Very good place for business colleagues to catch up. Look forward to going back. Bartender was great, coat check was great. Good attitude, good vibe, airy and bright.
Be the first to ReplyI'm a little mixed on this place.
I chose it because I was responsible for booking a "lunch meeting" in central London and one of my colleagues needed it to start by 11 am. I discovered quickly that 11 am in London is a dead zone when it comes to finding places appropriate for a sit-down lunch meeting (most places that serve breakfast end at 10:30 am and remain closed until 12 noon on the dot as the earliest for lunch). I did find a few places open at 11:30 am for lunch but they didn't take reservations and I did not want to chance being unable to get a guaranteed table for this meeting. I chose here because they opened at 11:30 am and they took a reservation. I also found that they have 1 star form the Guide Michelin if you follow that sort of thing. First, I love the location. It is in the financial district and very convenient for people to get to. It is literally across the street from the Bank tube station and if you can't find it when you exit the station after crossing the street, it is likely because you are standing right at the front entrance and didn't look up to see the subdued signage etched into the doorway window of the building. Entry is a bit imposing if you are not a high finance banker and I will warn you that everyone in the place (except my table) were in suits and power ties. While my party was reasonably dressed, without full suits on, I felt like I was a homeless person in the middle of Rodeo Drive. I really should have acted the part too and put out a cup for spare change since the price of the food here is pretty high. A simple lunch (as an example, a starter of soup and a pasta entree and some water, no alcohol ordered) will set you back somewhere in the range of $50 USD. The setting was updated old-school and very cool with a central circular bar set under a semi-glass dome and the interior was likely a former bank refurbished to be bright, cheery, and looking for ways to help take your money. The service was polished and polite, water glasses filled continuously and the place was packed. I noted a group come in right after me that was unable to get a table because they did not have a reservation so I'm sure this place packs it in with the surrounding bankers daily. I did notice that the service of our meal was not spaced well and there were several periods where we waited a long time for food to appear. I didn't really mind since we had a lot of agenda items to discuss and we were not really there for a 5 star meal but it occurred to me after that if I am going to be charged that kind of money for a meal, it really should be pretty close to right on. Once food began arriving, I was unable to take photos of my meal because I thought that might be rude given my colleagues at the table. My dish was tasty and perfectly cooked. Portions are reasonable but not huge. I left not completely full but not hungry either. It is right in the middle of the road for me and Iwould go back if I am needing to take someone out to impress them but it would not be a destination for me to seek out.

1776 is a fine, centrally located restaurant in a fairly interesting space. The restaurant boasts a strong and deep wine list and a fairly diverse menu with meat and fish options. The dover soul is a standout. Table service is stronger than bar service, where the staff can appear disinterested. Beer selections are poor.

I went to a private event in the back room and everything was wonderful. The restaurant was beautiful and had a lively buzz about it. Beautiful people toasted glasses of rose champagne at the bar. The waiters were very professional and discreetly made sure your wine was topped off and remembered that I was drinking the French red rather than the Italian red even though there were lots of guests. Appetizers were fantastic! Little spoons of bangers and mash, roast beef with horseradish and Yorkshire pudding, Huge tempura prawns with spicy sauce, scallops and black pudding (which is the only thing I didn't try a bite of. As an American I am a bitWhimpy with anything called pudding unless it is Yorkshire in London!). Dinner was a beautiful salmon appetizer and a wonderful stuffed chicken dish with truffles. Yum! Dessert was a very rich chocolate Carmel number. 1 Lombard was a treat and worth the trip!

We went for a small dinner - which ended up cost £40 in total. First caution: it is very over-priced for what they serve, as solid as they may be.I had the fried squid as a starter, then the Thai beef salad as my main. Both dishes were good - the squid was fresh with the accompanying mayo very unique and flavourful, whilst the Thai beef salad was also well cooked. Having said that, once again, I did not think six (or thereabouts) pieces of friend squid justify £10 or my small portion of salad, £12. Perhaps, the cost of rent in the prime location is the cause, but suffice it to say I've been to restaurants run by famous chefs that cost less. Also, my wine felt a bit expired. The rims were starting to yellow, and I noticed residues at the bottom of my glass too.Ambience is quite spacious with high-ceilings. Good for business meals or even events - they seemed to host events quite professionally, based on advertisements.Service was really mediocre. My wine was delayed in being served, and the server really had no personality - very transactional for a restaurant of this price level.All in all, go if you have to (it will get the job done), but try out other places if you can.

We visited this restaurant in August of 2014 while we were in London on vacation. The main reason we chose this restaurant, was due to the tasting menu we saw on the restaurant's website. There was no additional information on the website that you had to make reservations through a certain online booking service as opposed to another. We went ahead and made online reservations. Upon arrival at the restaurant, we were not given the tasting menu and asked for it. The waiter went to talk to a manager and we were informed you had to make online reservations in advance. I explained that we had. The manager went to check, and came back and the story changed a bit stating, oh you had to make it through open table or some other website as opposed to whichever online reservation site we used. We were highly disappointed by this, and also disappointed in the lack of customer service and accommodation by the manager. We would have left, however it was our first dinner in London and we wanted to make the best of it. We were not offered anything by this restaurant to make up for this misunderstanding, and it wasn't until my fiance asked that the restaurant at least include dessert for free, that the restaurant agreed to do so. With all of that being said, we ended up making our own tasting menu so to speak, and the food was very good, especially the lamb entree and beef carpaccio. Dessert was also very good. Despite the managerial staff not being accommodating or pleasant, our waiter was very attentive and provided good service. This restaurant should make it very clear what steps you have to follow in order to take part in their tasting menu.

I like the ambience and decorations of the restaurant, all very classy, antique and presentable - a typical style that you can find in Bank. The staff greeted me at the entrance and it wasn't long until I was served. We originally booked for three but only two of us were there but they didn't ask us to change table because the restaurant wasn't full anyway.Food wise, ordered the set menu three course for 20, excluding a 12.5% service charge. I particularly liked their bread and butter pudding, and they had a salmon and avocado salad as well which I liked. However, a sea shell soup that I ordered on the side tasted like a mixture of salt and water. It was not pleasant. conclusion, I am not in a hurry to go back and eat there LOL.

This restaurant is pretty posh and has a really nice atmosphere. However, service is a bit slow. I find some of the dishes a little bit salty though, and the rice pudding a bit too sweet.
