SquareMeal Review of 100 Wardour St (Restaurant & Club)

Bronze Award

Reborn from Floridita’s ashes (victim of a 2015 fire), D&D London’s replacement is a sleek, good-looking restaurant, retaining the clubby vibes alongside an extensive but patchy mod-Euro menu. Descend a grand staircase to a vast low-lit room, replete with designer furniture. A stage is the focus, with live acts complementing various themes throughout the week. The remaining space is split into a bar area, tables radiating from the stage and a more secluded, densely packed dining corner. Above, the Lounge provides all-day dining, allowing the Club to offer something more expansive: generous hunks of crispy pork belly from the ‘Robata’ section, or foie gras from the ‘Fried’, encased in batter. Shoulder of suckling pig was too greasy and unremarkable to justify £48, while black cod Provençale was fine yet also pricey. Desserts and drinks offer more fun and value; booming music and heavy-handed staff make lengthy dinners a trial.

About

Nestled in the heart of Soho, 100 Wardour St finds itself at the heart of eating, drinking and socialising in the capital. With so many facets, from the restaurant and club to bar and lounge, this is a venue that can cater to any occasion, from a quick drink and catch-up with a friend, to an extravagant dinner. The Restaurant & Bar offers cocktails, an a la carte menu, very reasonable set menus and live music, so it really isn’t to be missed.

Kicking things off with cocktails, guests can enjoy the likes of the Floral Fizz, consisting of Prosecco laced with Ketel One vodka, Belsazar Rose Vermouth and lavender, or ‘Spice Up Your Life’, made with Don Julio Reposado, passion fruit and chilli.

Moving to edible options, guests can soak up their cocktails with rosemary and focaccia while they examine the menu. Starters pull from a variety of cuisines, including a mezze plate piled with beetroot hummus, vine leaves, falafel, wild wheat tabbouleh, smoked aubergine and grilled flatbread. Seafood lovers can start things off with crab cannelloni, which comes with samphire, sea beet and lemongrass veloute. Mains include delights like confit Cornish harissa cod with paprika, baby squid and curried borlotti beans, lamb shank tagine, or celeriac and cauliflower risotto with black truffle and pickled mushrooms.

For those dining in twos, there are sharing options such as the house paella with chicken, king prawns, squid, mussels and saffron aioli, or a smoked aubergine version for vegetarians. True meat lovers can share a dry-aged Chateaubriand with chips, broccoli and peppercorn sauce.

Desserts include a mouthwatering warm apple cake with apple sorbet, oat crumble and candied apple. All of this appears alongside an impressive selection of Champagne and sparkling wine to make the evening truly special. Set menus are available, as well as brunch on Saturdays, and there is live music on Thursday to Saturday.

Lukewarm about it

Good place for one visit but I would not return to it, necessarily. Food and Drink were overpriced in my view but the service was great. Not very good value for money but the atmosphere was quite fun. If you are out of other options, it is worth giving it a go

Horrendous Service

Booked this place for a surprise party for my husband and the service and food were terrible. I planned the party a month before my husband's birthday and every single day there was a new challenge by them. At first they said all 30 guests had to have the same food and they couldn't possibly accommodate more than one item of food on the menu for every person. I finally got them to agree to do one vegan option and one non-vegan option but it didn't come with ease. I then asked what kind of table we would be sat at so that I can arrange a table plan and they replied saying they couldn't let me know what table I was sat on until 20 mins before the reservation. Again there was a lot of back and forth and they kept putting me in touch with different people and it all became very confusing, with each new person having no handover from the previous one.  Finally they let me know it would be a square table. This actually wasn't the case when we got there. It was one long rectangular table with two separate circle tables at both ends and they were quite far away from the rectangular table so wasn't ideal. 

 

The day of the party, my guests weren't allowed on the table a second before the actual time and when they stood up to shout "surprise" the bouncer immediately came over and said that if we didn't sit down he would kick us out. 

 

Once we were all seated, I was immediately hassled by one of the wait staff about booking a private room and he would do a "special discount" for me but it wasn't really. A bottle of Smirnoff ice cost £200. So, no thank you. Even when I said no, he would not leave me or my guests alone constantly trying to sell us this private room. 

 

The meal was super expensive for what we got and it really wasn't good. The soup was cold, the bread came out after everyone had eaten, someone said they were severely allergic to peanuts and their dish still came with peanuts. They also placed about 37 bottles of water on our table and when I said nobody drank the water they still made me pay for it. 

 

We only had the table for about an hour and a half before they kicked us off. I had brought a cake and left in the kitchen for them to bring out towards the end of the meal and they never did. They said we took too long to eat for them to serve the cake. They wouldn't even give me back the cake (which wasn't from their restaurant) until I said I wouldn't leave without it. 

 

Anyway, there were lots of other issues that I won't get into because this is getting too long now but it was the worst service I have ever experienced. Till this day I'm livid with myself for not asking them to remove the service charge from the bill.

The food is very good, it has a fun lively atmosphere with live music and dj's if you go late or for a brunch. The late sitting (3pm) for the brunch is disappointing, a lot of tables were sat down late and the music stopped 30minutes before the end of the sitting. They were very good at topping up drinks but again stopped 30minutes before the end of the sitting. A lot of tables were complaining. If you were to attend the earlier sitting I am sure this would have been better.
