I am a training chef at the best college in england i went with 15 with my boyfriend for his birthday and was a bit usure that it was going to be ok but left it last minute to book and hoped it was ok when we got there everyone was friendly you could see in the kitchen which is always nice to see and reasuring nothing bad is happerning behind closed doors . The waitress was realy friendly the food was lovely! pasta a bit too under done but it was a realy nice exeperience and would go back again although not too soon as it cost £80 for both of us witout drinks. But very worth the experience you wont be disapointed.

My daughter and I are huge fans of Jamie's cooking and were really looking forward to having a meal at Fifteen London. Our table was booked for 9pm and we arrived at 8.50 to be told that they were waiting for us! We felt rushed from then on and the waiter was not at all friendly.


Our starters were excellent but the mains were tasteless. The monkfish was chewy, with no hint at all of any seasoning and much overpowered by the black olive sauce. Overall, Fifteen London is highly overrated. We enjoy good food and don't mind the cost as long as we get what we pay for. Unfortunately at Fifteen, we didn't.

I did not enjoy the food at Fifteen London as it was not very well prepared and the service took too long for my liking. I would not recommend Fifteen London. Sorry!

I was very disapointed with Fifteen London. Jamie needs to spend some time there tasting the food, which was greasy, undercooked and hard to swallow. I won't be going back to Fifteen London which is a shame as the staff were friendly, pleasant and helpfull, and the place had a nice atmopshere. But the food was awful.

Fifteen London is Miserable. Teenage food made by teenagers. The carbonara sauce was disgusting, a kind of sick joke. The monk fish short of remarkable. The bolognaise sauce is common to say the least. The service at Fifteen London is well overrated. It is a waste of time and money.

We vistited Fifteen London for our daughter's 21st birthday. The previous year we took our other daughter to The Ivy and were very impressed. Not so with Fifteen London.


The food was okay but we were left wanting more. The price however takes the biscuit. £370.00 for four with only four rounds of normal drinks, and no wine. The Ivy was a fantastic meal, with exceptional service and drinks the same which came to £220.00.

Visited Fifteen London during our honeymoon.
Fabulous atmosphere, very attentive staff and most importantly of all, the food was fantastic - just sorry we live up north and we can't visit Fifteen London more often. Wild Boy white wine, the nicest I've ever tasted, please let me know if I can get hold of any... sell me a crate!

Fifteen is a great restaurant. Great atmosphere, great food. And to really put the icing on the cake Fifteen is a restaurant with a purpose. My two visits have been great.

I have been to the Fifteen Trattoria a few times and love the food, service and style of the upstairs area. I don't understand what the negative reviews for Fifteen are on about. Good work Sir Jamie!

Recently went to Fifteen for lunch for a friend's birthday and left extremely disappointed.

Firstly, being allergic to cheese there really wasn’t much on the Fifteen menu that didn’t have cheese in it. So I decided to stick with the safe option and order Arrabiata without the parmesan they sprinkle on top. Simple you’d think especially as I’d checked it again with the waiter.

My order comes out with Parmesan. Back to the kitchen it went and I had to wait a further 10 minutes only for the waiter to turn up with it in his hand and declare there is cheese in the sauce, even though I’d told them at the beginning I was allergic to cheese. And since when has Arrabiata had cheese in the sauce!

They then said the chef would make me a special tomato sauce. Well I don’t call plain pasta with a few baby tomato’s chucked in sauce! I can’t believe I had to pay £26 for a meal at Fifteen that would have been better prepared at Zizzi’s or Pizza Express.

If it had not been for that fact that it was a friend's birthday I would have left after their second attempt. Needless to say I would not recommend Fifteen or ever go back!

Trainee chefs serving trainee quality food at trained chef prices, £192 for two courses each for Sunday lunch at this restaurant is most grossly overpriced and overrated. Jamie should take a look at the quality being served here and stop trying to get the public to pay the kind of prices he charges if he does the cooking. Not an experience to be repeated - buyers beware Fifteen is not worth it.

I believed the hype about Fifteen and I was excited about going for a meal here but what a big disappointment it was. I booked a table at Fifteen in the a la carte restaurant to celebrate my 25th birthday and we were all very excited about going to Jamie Oliver’s restaurant. However, if we had known how bad the service was going to be I would have stayed at home. The food was tasty, well presented and they have a great selection of wines but the service really spoilt the whole Fifteen experience. There were extra items on the bill, missing drinks and one waiter even insisted my best friend keep his napkin on his lap even though we had finished our meal. We thought it was a joke to begin with but he was deadly serious and it ended up looking like some sort of comedy sketch - the waiter putting the napkin on his lap, him taking it off, the waiter putting it back on his lap...I think you get the idea. To conclude, Fifteen has tasty food and a fantastic range of wines. However, it has terrible service. A very generous score of 2. Thankfully, schools do not have table service!

I recently had dinner in Fifteen restaurant and for the price of the degustation menu (£60pp plus wine) I felt it was not worth the money. I agree with the concept behind the restaurant but felt it was pricey purely because of Mr Oliver's celebrity rather than the quality of the meal we ate. Not only that the restaurant itself was cold. We will not be returning to Fifteen.
Bellini was lovely though!

Fifteen is fantastic! That's all that can be said. I went here as a surprise on Saturday night to enjoy my birthday and from the moment we arrived to the moment we left Fifteen it was a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. I will definitely return!

Don't believe the hype about Fifteen. I booked a table for my 25th birthday upstairs in the Italian restaurant, only to be told that I'd booked the a la carte restaurant at Fifteen which comes to £50 per head which my friends could not afford.

When I called to confirm my reservation I was spoken to rudely and abruptly told that I could not eat in the Italian part of the restaurant (which I had booked). So I cancelled.

Ended up spending over £500 at a Michelin star restuarant (Chez Bruce in Wandsworth) which was superb. Perhaps Jamie Oliver should spend some time on customer service.

Fifteen's style leaves the impression that it was all pushed together by circumstance and not actually designed. This, unfortunately, also carried on to the food. The lighting in the area I sat in was too dim to see how well presented the dishes were - which is something of a waste - and made the bill harder to make out, which was something of a relief. All the dishes served had something going for them but none of them were great and it was all far too expensive for what it was. I will not be returning.

Fifteen has very nice food and cheap and excellent service. But it was very busy.

Fifteen had excellent food and service, well worth the wait! Found the restaurant rather noisy.

We walked into Fifteen off the street and got a table immediately - a great start! Easpecially as it was a special meal for a friend's birthday. We had the vegetarian antipasta, which came looking absolutely fantastic and tasted equally delightful. The main courses were great - the starter size is adequate if you want to save room for dessert! And those too were amazingly tasty - A really good experience which we thoroughly enjoyed. Great family fun!

The ambience in the bar area of Fifteen, can be likened to partaking in the dogs dinner - leftovers. To be fair the restaurant is undergoing refurbishment. However, the experience of the entire evening compounded our feelings of being in something that wasn't quite up to scratch.

The bar was overstaffed, thus resulting in over attentiveness - we were asked by four different staff members if they could take our order within the space of 10 minutes - all done without a smile. The bar menu is expensive for average, and in our case frozen meals. We left feeling we had bought into the hype of Fifteen without experiencing any substance to support it.

One good thing to say; their cocktails are excellent. I may try going back after the refurbishment to see if our experience would be any different...then again, maybe not.

Fifteen has reasonable decor but the, too numerous, staff walk around with little to do and as such are over attentive, (we got asked if we were ready to order 4 times in the space of 10 minutes by different staff).

The food is average and over priced. One dish was sent back as it was frozen in the middle.

The chairs in the bar area look like they are out of a lego set and for some reason the tables here are designed with ridges in which gives plates an annoying wobble. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this place except for a couple of cocktails after work maybe.

I experienced lunch at Fifteen last Tuesday (6th Jan). The food was fantastic although a little more expensive than what I'm used to, though for the whole experience it was worth it.

There was just one thing that let Fifteen down: I told a member of staff there was no soap in the toilet dispenser and one of the loos was pretty dirty. When I went in again an hour later - it remained the same even though the loo inspection box had been marked.
