The place is awful. The food was poor; at best tasteless (the tartare of salmon could have been anything else) and at worst unpleasant (the coley was surprisingly fishy smelling for such an inoffensive fish and the crab cake was outright hideous, a bit like cat food).
That’s not mentioning the service, which is rather inelegant. By that I mean the incessant topping of my wine, spilled water on the table, lack of smile or warmth. But worst of all I think is the staff's complicity in fooling customers in their choice of wine. The wine list is misleading and I made the mistake of ordering a Rioja, whose red variant turned out to be almost three times as expensive as the white one. Needless to say I was nearly in tears when the beverage bill came to be twice the price of the food. Boo. Stay well away from this place; none of it has any appeal.

Have been to Axis @ One Aldwych on their Jazz nights (Tue, Wed evenings) and thought the place went off! Cool, black interior and a great attitude makes Axis @ One Alwych one of my fav places in London.

Axis is one of the restaurants in the One Aldwych hotel (the other one is Indigo), but it’s the one I much prefer. Axis is really close to the theatres, they do great set menus and have a good veggie selection. I’d recommend it to anyone.

I have been to Axis a number of times and have consistently received excellent food and attentive, but not intrusive, service. The menu is varied and the emphasis is on quality and well-balanced flavours as opposed to novelty fashion cooking. The portions are excellent and the prices, although not cheap, are very fair for the quality you receive. The dining space is beautiful and suits romantic dinners - with tables for 2 around the sides - or a night out with friends.



The bar in the lobby of the hotel is also a great place for an aperitif. The restaurant has its own bar, though this is rather small and a bit dingy.
