Myself and 6 girlfriends went to Dstrkt on a Saturday evening for dinner with intention of carrying on into the club for the rest of the evening. On arriving with a pre booked table we had to wait nearly an hour to be seated at our table then of course we then had to buy drinks at the bar. Once seated we were all impressed by the fab decor and eagerly awaited for some bottles of wine for the table another 20mins and the wine arrived our waiter had no urgency whatsoever when ordering our food he seemed more interested talking to a fellow waitress. The food was ok small portions as expected. We asked for the bill 3 times as we wanted to go through to the club. The service was the poorest I've ever witnessed and the manager didn't seem to see how bad it was? Going through to theclub staff were still slow it wasn't even busy. Very disappointed and treated poorly upsetting for us all don't waste your money. Doorman were very polite though!

The place is beautiful, but how do you call a club without a dancefloor? For a 20 pounds entrance, making people dance in the middle of the way wasnt the greatest idea. The cocktails are perfect although the price is above average. The music is very commercial. I would only go back for a drink but would not stay in the club.

Was looking for something different for our anniversary...found the special theatre dinner offer of 20 pound/head...sounded good...arrived to find a distinctly sparse number of diners...about 8 in all...found staff attentive food tasty though portions small but what can one expect for 20 pound/head...had a twenty minute wait for dessert....then came the rub down ...14 pounds charged for a rum and coke...shades of a clip joint ...anyone who feels they should pay those kind of prices to be trendy needs their head read...no wonder it was empty and as to the mugs waiting to go to the night club...they must have more money than sense...pity 'cos the decor etc looked quite different...total rip off sadly...never again...

Walking into this club initially, I was impressed with the decor/style etc - but those pleasant thoughts only continued until I got to the bar to get the first round! This place is EXPENSIVE! (and so are the rates if you want to get yourself a 'table', which in most cases I think means seating against a wall and a coffee-table sized table!) - You better make sure the bank balance is stocked up to enjoy yourself here! I think the problem with places like this is that they're a little bit pretentious. You've got rich people, wannabes and other's who've lost their way and those who are just trying the place out for the first (and last) time... i.e. myself!You've got the usual sparklers on the bottles going to tables, with bar staff making their way with the kind of urgency usually reserved for escorting a dying patient to hospital! (or more probably before the tacky sparkler runs out of oomph!) And you've got a few hot dancers on the sidelines titillating the male of the species.All in all, the atmosphere of the crowd is what counts, and it's not really my kinda thing at this place. Too much style - minimal substance, too loud, no place to chill out... give it a miss.

I've returned to the club since my last review (below) and have to agree wholeheartedly with this. A double spirit and mixer cost me £13 here. I assumed it was a premium spirit but when I asked, I could hardly believe it was Smirnoff! This club has had a lot of money invested in it and it does look great, but be under no illusions - they are clawing back that investment one attendee at a time. You also get minimal atmosphere for your buck as well - all this 'sparklers in bottles of champagne' nonsense is essentially something to make VIPs with more money than sense feel good - it does nothing but interrupt the flow for everyone else. Likewise, at certain points in the evening, staff will aggressively clear the dancefloor so a bunch of good looking average dancers can come and do a quick dance then disappear again. What's the point of that if not style and no substance? Good clubs know how to make *everyone* feel good and not operate a disjointed, awkward and expensive evening. A two star venue at best - better, cheaper nights can be found close by.

Distinctly average. Arrived on a Saturday night and after the door staff created a fuss over nothing about letting me in, they then let me straight in. Such self aggrandising pretentiousness is better off avoided. Inside, the venue was certainly impressive but also quite small with way too few staff meaning you wait an age for your expensive drink.

It strikes me as somewhere the crowd is more interested in congratulating each other they're attending then getting on with the job of having a good night.

I'd go back to try it again but on first impressions, London has better to offer.

Despite being on a confirmed guest list having just arrived back from the States, it appeared to be a 'no go' to enter this club on a Saturday night. The door 'hostess' was extremely rude and stated there were many other clubs I could go visit in London! As an established female black singing artist, I was appalled at this treatment. They may have invested £25m into this venue, but management should take a good look at their door staff/policies if they wish to retain their investment and attract decent clientele.

booked last minute for 2. On arrival, they couldn't find our booking, but did accommodate us after 30 mins during which time the bar staff did not even take our order in the lounge bar!
Once seated at our table, the staff were attentive, friendly and went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our evening. Food sounded great; tasted average. We eat at Michelin starred restaurants often, so we're used to impeccable service, food and attention to detail. Cocktails were lovely. A coco Chanel was visually stunning; a baby pink with crushed Rose petals on the side. Smelt wonderful too!

Music was good, both whilst eating and at the club. Only pockets of dance floor to dance, unless booking a table. Fun crowd of people. We didn't find them pretentious at all, despite their being well turned out and looking lovely.
Overall a fun venue and definitely worth at least one visit for the experience.

Notes to management: need more bar staff on a Saturday night, who also need to be more attentive to how long people are waiting to be served. Up the game in terms of food standards. Needs to taste better. Dancers were good, but where were the men, dancing for us women? A bit dated and tired in this day and age to only have women dancing!?

In the many years working in the west end and going out with clients and friends after work. I have never experienced such an amazing welcoming service and staff. The food was delicious and so many dishes we were all so full. Great wine selection and ambience, didn't stay to long in the club but good music selection.

Went to the club on Saturday. Looks great and you can tell that 25m were invested to get this place shiny.

People seem very pretentious and I couldn't feel the great vibe you can at some other mayfair clubs. The ratio wasnt as good as at other places, quite a lot of men, but def gorgeous women in between.

Finally, you need to understand that this club does basically not have a dance floor as it is surrounded by tables and you can access it only by going through the tables. I saw people calling bouncers few times because others wanted to pass through to the dance floor. Also it felt like almost half of the club is "VIP" only for which to enter you either have to throw some bills around or better know a promoter.

Make sure to book a table if you want to check it out.

This is a really lush venue, the place is just full of the most glamorous people and staff. Our table with Capital A List was right in the middle of the club next to the VIP area by the restaurant, so could just chill out and chat or go over to the main dance floor. The staff are so polite and the even take you down the stairs to your table and introduce you to the hosts. This place really stands out from all the touristy places in picadilly circus - more like a Mayfair club actually. Definitely reccommend.

What a place, exactly what London needs at the moment, beautiful, chic and modern interior, friendliest staff I’ve seen in a very long time. Loved the food, its quite different from other top restaurant I’ve been, I think the chef is American from LA and, definitely brought something unique into London, recommend to anymore! Had a quick look at the club behind the curtains, which I think opens at 10 and been told that diners can join the party after they had their food! 5 star place, will be back for sure.

I went to DSTRKT last Thursday for the first time and wanted to write a review (my first) to let everyone know about the great experience I had.The place is lovely, with a very elegant decor and we were given a very cosy table for the 2 of us.It is a little unusual but the dishes were presented in smaller portions which gave us more choice and we could try and share more dishes my girlfriend and me.Overall we had a good night, enjoyed the food but what really made our evening was the maitre'd able to recommend the best dishes for us, very caring and always attentive.We were also recommended the perfect bottle for the 2 of us, the perfect choice to match our dishes and it was also a delicious wine.I would strongly advise anyone to drop by for a dinner... We finished out night in their club. Definitely a place worth a visit.

I took my clients last Wednesday night to Dstrkt for dinner after hearing the head chef is from 'The Bizarre' in LA.
Incredible food, 5 star service and great atmosphere with incredible music in the club afterwards.
Beautiful people and friendly staff.

Came here for dinner on Saturday night- food was amazing - service was great.

Stayed on for the club, it was free entry as I was a dinner which was great.

Discovered this club by complete accident but it's an absolute gem. Great music, such a unique venue.

Will be coming here again for my Birthday

Incredible service. Amazing venue, food and wine were superb. It is not cheap but worth every penny. I would recommend this place for everyone who knows how to enjoy a night out. Unforgettable experience.
