I went to The living room for the first time the other week for my 30th! The food and cocktails were absolutly amazing... The service that we received was just as amazing! Everyone there played a part in making it an unforgettable evening, thank you so much!
Having read good reviews of this restaurant, I went with full confidence for my birthday. I feel it necessary to warn all possible future patrons that we recurrently saw a mouse running around the restaurant. Upon complaining, we were reassured by the manager that they are actually not unhygienic. It was an unpleasant experience, and I would not return there. If mice are considered hygienic, I dread to think how the kitchen is kept.
Love this place.
Stylish, swanky, smooth. Ideal located just off Regent street, Nice atmosphere, great cocktails.
Little bit on pricey side but well worth it, staff are attentive and friendly and happy to help.
Live music is a nice touch with the live piano and singer and sets off mood well.
Down side is that it can get busy at the bar and you may be jostling for elbow room and somewhere to sit.
Oh and don't be confused by the bathrooms downstairs, although small you'll work it out!!
An extraordinary experience at the Living Room.
We had drinks and then moved upstairs for some food.
Sat having dinner and noticed a MOUSE running around the restaurant - we alerted the waiter but responded as though it was part of the furniture and a regular occurrence. We were left gob-smacked.
I wouldn't recommend you visit here for the food as clearly cleanliness etc is under doubt due to the rodents running around.
Good place for a drink tho' as just off Regent St and easy to meet friends etc.
Visited The Living Room W1 with my boyfriend on a Saturday night, we decided to come here after visting the Oxford one on a long weekend at the beginning of the year, we were so impressed that when we saw there was one in London (closer to home) we just had to go!!
What an amazing night! the staff were so lovely and couldn't do enough for you but without interrupting every 5 minutes like some restaurants.
The food was outstanding!! even better than the Oxford one and the portion sizes were very generous. It isnt too expensive but the quality is worth every penny!!
The atmosphere was buzzing, all you could hear was laughter from all the big groups surrounding us and as the night went on there was plenty of people dancing and just enjoying the music and cocktails!!
The live music was fantastic!! such a great place, i fail to see how anyone could dislike this restaurant!? im just waiting for another excuse to go back there!!
My friends and I booked the Living room for a night out and our entire experience was amazing.
The food was lovely, the cocktails better and I would highly recommend it to anyone.The live music was great, and really added to our experience.
The only thing I would advise that if you are after a quiet meal at the weekends request a table upstairs as it can get very noisy downstairs due to the popularity of the bar.
Sometimes you just find a place that you love, and just keep coming back to because everthing is just right...
the Living Room in Heddon Street is just that.
While not an overly exciting place to have a Sunday lunch, it wasn't bad either. The place was pretty empty, especially inside, so outdoor lunching was available.
Mind, being in a small road behind Regent Street meant that there wasn't actually much to look at (not the best place for people-watching).
Food was good, not badly priced, nothing to write home about. Staff were attentive and maybe a little blase; but that was kinda good as it made for a more comfortable environment.
What I found quite odd was that, wanting one of their raw juices drink, they told me that they had run out of carrots. At 12:30pm. On a Sunday.
I was certain that there was a Tesco not far from the place, so it wouldn't have been too hard for them to run down and get a couple.
Otherwise, it's a nice place to be for a small group of friends for lunch. No idea about night-time life, though.
Absolutely bloody awful (excuse my language).5 friends and I went to this restaurant as it was part of a theatre ticket package and i have to honestly say we will NEVER go back!!!!
The service was terrible e.g we were the ONLY people in the restaurant yet we were in there over two hours for just two courses even though we had already said we were in a bit of a hurray, the food wasn't a very good quality and our waitress was snotty nosed, rude and knew nothing about what the dishes were on the menu.
Over all we were really disappointed and won't be going back. Thankgod the musical was amazing otherwise it would of ruined our night!!!!
The Living Room is the perfect place to take a mixed group of friends, as it is neither too adventurous, nor too middle of the road. The menu is varied enough to suit all tastes and very reasonably priced. The eating area is bright, spacious and airy, and with it's central location and huge glass front, The Living Room is perfect for watching the street activity outside. The lights are dimmed in the bar area where you can order one of the many fabulous cocktails The Living Room offers, and the Grand Piano and quirky carpeted walled toilet cubicles, give it that extra twist of ambience that you wouldn't find in other restaurants of this calibre. A perfect place for a night out with a mixed group, or lunch and cocktails with the girls.
Very good atmosphere, fun and lively, went for drinks and some food after work. friendly staff food was good but not great. But great to meet friends to chat and have some drinks after work and stay through the night, and great bathrooms!
We stumbled upon this venue last night whilst out Christmas shopping in town. The waitress found us a table for two but told us that they were expecting another booking in 1 hour 20 minutes time. We decided this gave us plenty of time and took our seats. From the outset it seemed very noisy almost as though the music was too high making people shout - not very nice atmosphere when you are trying to eat. The service was very prompt and the waitress quite pleasant, although was this just because they were trying to hurry us out to prepare for the next booking?
It was very packed, so obviously quite popular, but to be honest for what we had to eat and then a bill of £65.00 I am not sure it was worth it, and then to bung a 12.5% service charge on top of the bill topped the experience off. We will probably not be going back to Living Room W1.
We booked the Living Room last minute for our office party, and to be fair It must be one of the most boring venues in central London. Over-priced and full of grey people, being served by staff who don't really care, as they must know not many people will ever come back again. Seeing as you're spoiled for choice with a multitude of far better places in the area.
I went to The Living Room W1 on a Friday night. I'll start with the good points, it's a nice venue looks wise with lots of bar staff so I didn't have to wait to get served and the toilets were clean and funky.
Now to the bad point, I'm not a tight person but I find £6.30 for a glass of white wine a bit of a p*ss take! Also beware that if you're paying by card you have to spend over £10 - though I suppose that's not hard to do in this place! The music was very lame for a Friday night so don't go to The Living Room if you're fancying a dance.
The Living Room is another bar that leaves me cold. It's nice enough but there's nothing warm about it and it certainly doesn't remind me of a living room!
The Living Room W1 has hit the nail on the head with it's chilled atmosphere and great food. I went to Living Room W1 one Sunday lunch and ended up spending most of the day there, it was that nice!
