The French House London Reviews from The Last Year
Never again!
This review is well overdue! Two friends and I came here for a birthday lunch. We tried to have an enjoyable time, but it was made extremely difficult because, first, we were repeatedly told by the waiter that dishes on the very limited menu were finished. We had a reservation for 1.30pm! Oh, sorry the lamb is finished, oh sorry the apple crumble is finished. Suspiciously, they had plenty of the duck at 95 pounds for two! Secondly, the food was awful, and the presentation was even worse. The pork rillette looked like cat food, plonked next to a few sad pickles and a piece of sourdough. Who serves one scallop? The unappetising confit garlic and goat's curd was spread boringly on sourdough. The John Dory was average, at best. The minimal serving of dessert cheeses presented on a sad old cracked breadboard was unacceptable. The French House will probably defend themselves by claiming it is all very bohemian. Eating from basic tableware, at an undressed, wooden kitchen table, sitting on uncomfortable, old wooden benches, yes, all very bohemian. Everything was bohemian except for the bill! Over 250 pounds for three! What a joke! Never again. I did not leave a tip. Why would you?
An eexceptional restaurant
A small restaurant above the pub. Excellent food, in a pleasant, quiet atmosphere and friendly staff. Menu changes daily, with some interesting dishes.
Highlight of the Weekend!
Superb lunch and afternoon in The French House. Excellent sĆ©lection of starters and main courses accompanied by exquisite aperitifs and digestifs. Plumb brandy was exhilarating. All delightfully served by Suzanne and Maxi. Honoured by Neilās personal attention and special mention for chef Paul who guided us through each of our gastronomic selections. An establishment steeped in history and an historic day for us. Thanks so much guys.
Excellence on all fronts.
Truly excellent cooking married with an efficient and effortlessly competent front of house. To drink, we had aperitifs and a reasonably priced bottle of Pomerol, followed by a couple of glasses of Sauternes. To eat, my wife had a roast scallop (ādelicious!ā) and I had a slab of ox tongue with cress and horseradish which is possibly the most delicious way Iāve had this cooked: quite dense meat, really beefy flavour and utterly delicious. For mains, we had a spatchcocked quail and pork cheeks - both really well cooked. For pudding, we had a Paris-Brest. The service was attentive without being intrusive. All reasonably priced and a memorable dinner well worth the effort of waiting for a table (owing to its popularity, we had to book some time in advance) in a small, simple dining room. Fantastic!
expensive ribeye and it was quite stringy, so rather glad we shared!
Bit of a curates egg this place but still love it, very expensive ribeye not of the best quality so cant understand the price, fish also way over Ā£40 so we have decided to share plates from now on as we have history here
A Classic What a memorable experience.
Be sure to reserve well in advance. Food,wine and service all excellent. Though Servers are casually dressed they are pros. Nudge your way through the downstairs' crowd to the staircase. Once upstairs it's a another world
Amazing, definitely to be repeated
Fantastic food with impeccable service. Ghenta & Leo were amazing, perfect blend of funny, friendly & professional. Neil brought out the madeleines which freshly baked were one of the best desserts either of us have ever had. We are already planning our next visit, canāt wait!
Superb, memorable meal and not at rip-off prices
Superb. French cuisine at its very best. Subtle, complex, well-balanced flavours. Cannot recall a meal in London as good as this in twenty years. La Trompette at its best, maybe. Neil Borthwick is a very fine chef (and on a cold, dark Wednesday evening was in the kitchen not leaving it to others). Warm welcome from cheery, knowledgeable staff who take great pride in the sheer quality of what they are serving. I doubt an interior designer has been near, but who cares? The napery is spotless and the food memorable (and not ridiculously pricey). Delicious chicory-based salad (and I find salads boring usually) and a gorgeous duck breast (for two) linger in the memory.
Never again!
I have been to this popular but small Soho restaurant a number of times in recent years but today's visit has made me vow never to go there again. The food was good the wine was quaffable but expensive at Ā£45 a bottle. However we were asked to move tables after our main course to let a threesome sit down and offered another table plus a glass of Calvados each as a sweetener. We agreed and were still eating our pudding when the waitress arrived with the bill and asked us to pay up and leave (nicely) as a couple were waiting by the door for our table!! We remonstrated that we had accommodated their needs and had not finished eating yet but another waitress accused us of rudeness by objecting to their demands!! We had exceeded their two hour limit by 15 minutes but all restaurants in London have this limit and yet I have never in 30 years been asked to leave my table especially in such circumstances. Life is too short to be harassed by rude waiting staff especially when you are paying Ā£170 for two including tip (yes we did leave a tip, God knows why!!)
Don't keep this one a secret!
Please keep this place a secret so I can get a table next time I need one! And that will be very soon! This spot is that very rare thing in London these days - unassuming, skilled and lovely staff, proper plates of food not dinky sharing rip-offs! Short and special menu, unashamedly serving meat and of course other things. Magret was stunning and the American football of luscious chocolate mousse restarted my stalled relationship with chocolate mousse! Oops. Forgot the perfect Irish rock oysters! Thank You Neil and staff! Rx
One of Londons Best Steaks.
Upon many recommendations, it was finally time to try out the upstairs restaurant at this great pub. It did not disappoint!
Enjoyed our first visit to an iconic eaterie
First visit to the French House and enjoyed it immensely. Cosy dining room, friendly, knowledgeable and effective service, thankfully short and reasonably priced wine list, classical French food, cooked really nicely. We had scallops, goats cheese curd with a baked garlic on sourdough and shared the duck with fois gras with aligot and greens. Followed be cheese and crumble supported by Poire William, Port and coffee. Would have been a 5 but the meat main course had sold out (at 6.30) so the only choice we has was both having monkfish or the shared duck (at a rather steep Ā£95).
I feel like most of the reviews are for the bar, which is
I feel like most of the reviews are for the bar, which is always packed after 5pm, but this review is specifically for the restaurant upstairs. It is resi only, exceptional. 8 tables, mainly 2 tops, and a handwritten menu each night. The chef only uses fresh ingredients from that day's market, and you can taste it in every bite. The menu had 2 apps, 2 mains, 4 sides, and 2 deserts. The Madeline's were to die for. Service was outstanding.
one of the most unpleasant dining experiences.
.. overpriced, no variety on the menu , other than three types of pate and incredibly unpleasant staff who stronghold you into a 12 percent tip. steer clear.
Fine for a drink, but skip the restaurant.
Very limited menu, overpriced food and unpleasant staff who push for service charge to be added though service is in fact poor.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a responseā¦ how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been āmatchedā with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Payouts
Anyone can help with payouts, support hasnāt been helpful at all. My funds cleared and I can only retrieve $50 usd a day with a $5 fee and a % per transaction. It would take so long and so much in fees. Thanks!
Give the best answerDoes support work ?
I am having a tough time contacting and elucidating a response from AT Support. I had a listing at 6pm, which was a mistake as the actual listing reservation was at 11pm. This got somehow approved by AT, and a customer bought this from me for 6pm. I want to cancel this listing and refund customer , but there is no way of doing this ! This is so frustrating and making me lose hope on AT. Can someone help me please?

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and letās catch the rat!
