   The place was beautiful. However, I went for afternoon tea and the water was tepid. I ordered a side of fries that I saw sitting under the heat lamp for the longest before they were delivered to me at Luke warm temeperature. While I was watching my plate, I saw a staff member pass my plate twice and grab stray fries that had fallen off of the plate onto the counter and eat them!

   I initially booked a reservation for the tea experience for 4. I had to “edit” the reservation (I did not book an entirely new one) from 4 to 2. The tea experience apparently does not transfer through the edit stage, and when I showed up - I was only booked for brunch. I showed the initial confirmation of 4 for the tea experience to Allis. They did check with the chef to see if there were any extra place settings to accommodate. We were told there were not. I understand that there may not have been. However, it felt there could have been more done to accommodate the error on a very sought after experience this time of year. Instead I was told this was “Open Table issue and not theirs”. I am sure Allis could have found a sandwich tower somewhere, put some apps on it, and made it *feel* like the tea experience, etc. Allis could have made more of an effort to combat the disappointment that was clearly on our faces. Regardless of this being an Open Table issue or not — Allis chooses to be on Open Table, therefore Open Table’s issues are your issues and your responsibility. Not impressed. Won’t be going back.

   Awful service and tea and food was not good. We had our food 30 minutes before tea. Extremely expensive for the food and service.

   The tea was really nice, but not a house blend. The food was decent, but no standouts. I expected there to be bigger sandwich sizes and more scones. The service was really great, but overall it was a FINE experience. I just don't think it was a $70/person experience regardless of how beautiful Soho House is.

   The food, bevs and service were excellent! Lovely decor and overall ambiance; however, for a strangely long time, a woman was apparently wailing inconsolably downstairs. This was a bit disturbing and disruptive. Really odd.

   It was a delightful discovery! The ambiance was warm and cozy, with an impressive buzz of people passing through, talking, and socializing—yet we still enjoyed our privacy at a corner table. The red wine was excellent, the beef tartare (always my go-to choice when available) was fresh and flavorful, the truffle fries were perfectly crispy without being overpowering, the beetroot salad was refreshing, and the mushroom pizza was simply delicious. I must also highlight the dessert and the tiramisu martini—they were the perfect start and finish to our meal. We had a fantastic time and will jump at the first opportunity to return. A special shoutout to the kind and attentive manager Michel and our wonderful server, Tina, whose attentiveness made the experience even more memorable.

   The ambiance of The Allis is top tier! Definitely gives modern luxury vibes. The staff was phenomenal. The tea service was fine, but I’d definitely come back to eat off of their other members. We saw someone order a Cesar salad that looked divine.

   This place is so beautiful inside! The food and service is also great and they even have gluten free bread for toast for my celiac friends. Our server also recommended a grapefruit spritz as a mocktail and it was perfect for brunch. Will definitely go back!

    Ambiance is great, sat at the couches. it took a bit to get served but seemed like an honest mistake/rush. drinks were top tier and they gave us some incredible desserts for my partners birthday
