I loved everything about my experience at The Nomad. Yes it’s expensive but it was worth it to have great service (attentive but not fussy) incredible cocktails, excellent wine, and food which was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. And the dining room - just wow. Beautiful and such a lovely ambience. I think this is my new favourite place in London.

Great all around. Steaks were cooked perfectly. We both selected the Irish filet. Sides of mashed potatoes were also excellent. Service was impeccable. We recently discovered this gem after being somewhat disappointed with Hawksmore. S&W is now our go to for steak dinners,

Lovely restaurant with fabulous views. Waiter was super-helpful with my gluten intolerance choices and I am always so relived to see my plates coming out with a sticker so I know that they have been checked for gluten. I have been in here before when a DJ and saxophonist have been playing which is unbearable for a restaurant experience but thankfully the music level was much better tonight.

A group of 11, we ordered of the late lunch/pre theatre menu. The portion size of starters and mains were generous, the food was fresh and delicious and the slush cocktails were amazing. Was excellent value for money. Service was a little slow at the bar when we arrived but overall the service was good. Would recommend
