Service was awful. They put seven of us at a round that would comfortably fit four to possibly five, even though we had reservations in advance. They squeezed us in in a back corner next to the big tray where you put dirty dishes, and they never cleared our already tiny table, so at least we had the tray next to us and could start busing our own table as beverages or other dishes arrived. We ordered caviar two separate times and then when it never came, they said we never ordered it even though he acknowledged it and pointed at the two people who wanted it when it was ordered (in addition to everyone at the table acknowledging we did and witnessing the whole conversation). There was another...
During my recent visit to Balthazar restaurant in London, I had a mixed experience. I must commend Alex, our waiter, for providing exceptional service. He was professional and attentive, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the meal. However, I was disappointed with the quality of the food at Balthazar. The dishes I ordered were lacking in flavor and creativity, leaving me underwhelmed. The food felt basic and bland, which was quite surprising considering the reputation and hype surrounding the restaurant. The prices charged did not align with the lackluster culinary experience I had. While the service provided by Alex was commendable, it wasn't enough to compensate for the subpar foo...
I am a big fan of Balthazar NYC, so I had to go check out Balthazhar London! The ambiance is very similar adding to this the amazing contribution to the Parisian experience on that Tuesday evening with live band OCharmers with singer Oriana, playing the Best of the French Repertoire! The interior design is the exact replica of the SoHo, NY location. A must go in London!
We had my birthday lunch here thinking it'd be special, but the atmosphere here was not as welcoming. I expected a bit more friendliness, but the staff are truly just there to take you to your seat, take your order, and serve. The food is nothing special. I'm not sure why this is popular. It didn't leave a huge impression for me to even try it here in NY/NJ.

Sometime I forget how good it is due to I can walk from home to Balthasar, it’s being in Gland for as long as I remember but new management took over a couple of years ago and push it from a traditional Swiss steak place into the best steakhouse in the region!! You need to book in advance to get a place as it is always busy.
The restaurant was taken over since I last came and I found it is an improvement. The food is very good, nicely served and the staff are friendly and efficient. The service is fast without rushing you and despite being full (must definitely book) it was not noisy nor did one feel overcrowded
Wow this place is popular! Tried to book yesterday for today 5:30 but the only time slot left is 3:30, and when we went there it was still packed. Lovely food and service, with a very friendly price. Would recommend 100%. It is in Covent Garden, so there are a lot of shops around too.
Loved everything about this place, staff, food, service such a great vibe
