Rowley's Restaurant 113 Jermyn Street, London SW1Y 6HJ

"I've been coming to Rowley's for over 35 years as the Jermyn Street location is excellent and the steak and chips and wine have reliably been good quality and reasonable value for the West end. I hadn't visited for a couple of years so I popped in for a late lunch with my wife after a little pottering around in the January sales and we were shown to one of the splendid window tables. The menu was pleasingly familiar with even some new additions and we selected Chateaubriand and a decent bottle. Perhaps is was the distance of the table from the serving area or perhaps it was a changeover of shifts but the service was slow and it was somewhat challenging to attract the attention of any staff. The quality of the meat was adequate and it was cooked competently but didn't really justify the price. Overall, a slightly disappointing experience and it may be a while before I return."

"Had a great night here. The restaurant is really clean and tidy. The art and decoration is very charming too. The staff are very friendly, approachable and well trained. The food was fantastic. One of the best steaks I have ever had. Top restaurant worthy of its place along London’s famous Jermyn Street."

"Our last night in London and we visited Piccadilly Circus and stumbled across Rowley’s. It’s a charming, intimate restaurant. Great dinner and delicious dessert! Laura (our waitress) & the staff were kind and inviting."

"Used to come here with my family for great service and great steak. Went last night with friends and this great establishment has unfortunately gone down hill. The steak is still decent but the service is severely lacking now - not their fault of course, but the waiting staff are pretty green. If you’re paying their pretty high prices you expect service to match it. Plus things like their famous unlimited fries are not what they were at all as other reviews have mentioned. Cheese and crackers were of supermarket quality. Cheesecake very average, was told it was made in house, not convinced. A shame"

"Had read great things about this restaurant, so as we were staying in the same street we didn't want to miss a chance to try it out. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable when we asked them any questions and the atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed and welcoming. It was busy but food was delivered quickly and we did not have to wait long at all. We had the rosemary baked camembert to start which was fantastic, and then the Chateaubriand which was cooked just how we like it (although if it was just for me I'd have had it slightly more pink). We even got a complimentary glass of prosecco. We will definitely return as had a fantastic experience."
