What an amazing experience! We did not have much time before going to see a show, but the waiter put a priority on our order and we managed even to have a dessert. Peanut butter cheesecake is absolute must when visiting Smollensky's. The happy hour cocktail are absolutely delicious and very affordable. I would recommend Smollensky's and I will be going again myself soon.

Went for dinner at Smollenskys last night with a group of friends for a Xmas night out. I will not be returning. The service was abysmal. I asked how the scallops had been caught (a reasonable question in 2009?) and was told 'Scallops are scallops', and other nonsensical answers - they treated me as if I'd just asked if dog was on the menu.

When the food did arrive, the burgers were tasty but a tad underdone so some meat had to be left, and my friend ordered chicken wings which were a vile color and looked inedible. On the plus side, the manager was friendly and there was a good atmosphere but our entire experience was hampered by the staff's attitude.

What a disappointment. The menu is rather sparse to say the least, although to give them their due, the food was decent. The service on the other hand was quite definitely the worst I have ever experienced in London. Our rude and unhelpful waitress even left one order off and was neither apologetic nor bothered by the fact. The manager was extremely pleasant and gave us that dish on the house, but even the bar staff were rude. I suggest they implement some kind of customer service training.

Smollenskys is wickedI had my hen party there. Staff was very friendly from beginning to the end of our brilliant night out.

Cocktails- you have to taste to understand, very testy and quick service. If you thinking of good hen night, have to be Smollenskys on The Strand.

Bride to be :)

We recently went to Smollenskys, they have decided to transform the old stage into a VIP party area, we had around 60 guests for our virthday celebration, we had our own waiter, an absolute gorgeous area set up with helium balloons, candles, giant vases of flowers..

..mind you we didnt even ask they just did this for us, we were blown away by how wonderful our area looked..

..definately not something you get very often these days!!

We ordered canapes and nibbles, the food was delicious hot and arrived on time!

All our guests have been raving at what was an incredible night....plus the icing on the cake was our free Magnum of Prosecco for booking..

...now thats customer service!! Definately give this place a try, the new manager is brilliant!

Had a great meal here in July for my daughter's 13th birthday. It was an early sitting as we were off to see a show afterwards, but the minute we arrived, we were made to feel welcome - the balloons around the table added to the enjoyment of the occasion. The food was great and all the kids enjoyed starters, mains and desserts. The two younger kids had great little party bags which kept them occupied in-between courses. The additional 'sparkler' and a rendition of Happy Birthday also went down a treat! Timings were spot on and we left in plenty of time to get to the theatre on time. We would highly recommend this restaurant to friends and family in the future.
