   We had our wedding reception here and have been visiting for 20 years because nowhere does eastern and central European food better. The cooking is excellent, the selection varied and the bar always fun to chose from. The historic surroundings add to the ambiance and style of this building and the club itself. We'll be back!

   The waiter is not friendly. We got the cloth in the bread box dirty and he rolled his eyes and said unfriendly words to us.

   Perfect as usual. The service couldn’t have been any better. Timing and attention were exceptional. The food was delicious. We love the room, we always book here when in London for the Royal Albert Hall.

   Absolutely amazing experience. I came to celebrate my birthday with my friends and we had a wonderful time. We were seated on a heated terrace which is beautiful and very cosy. Food was great, pierogi, pelmeni and kolduny were the best I have ever had. Vodka was delicious, we tried cherry, lemon and pear and kavka orchard vodkas. I can honestly recommend all of them. Our waitress, Weronika, was very friendly and attentive but not obtrusive. Perfect experience and will come back soon for sure. Thank you for the great time Ognisko Team!

   Old-fashioned in the best way possible, with warm service, and good food.

   Ognidko’s is proper old school! You feel like you’ve stepped back in time! Excellent bar service with delicious cocktails. Lovely silver service at the table (stretched a little when the evening g sitting was in full flow). Excellent Polish menu with all the traditional favourites - the food has a real home cooked flavour, well prepared and generous portions. The dining room is quite noisy when full and the lighting is rather dimmed - could do with trading the table candles for some LED which would illuminate the table without changing the overall ambiance

   I booked this restaurant to experience a dining experience in the main restaurant pictured on the website, not realizing that a tent would be set up outside and we would be seated in the corner surrounded by plastic. Service was cordial and the restaurant was very busy, so there was some waiting but not the staff's fault. The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed the cocktails. Had I known I was booking a table in a tent outside, I could've set my expectations accordingly. The front has scaffolding on it, not sure if that makes a difference in the building considering we didn't really spend any time there.

    The food was amazing as always but the service was unusually a bit all over the place. We had to keep explaining orders over and over again and although the staff were all absolutely lovely it just seemed very chaotic last night.
