The Arts Club

This is a modern trendy private member club in prime London West End. I would have given it a 5/5 but it's mega expensive. Otherwise it's excellent.

Design and comfort would be 5 stars, but the food is really below par. Beef carpaccio was more like bresaola and very over salted. Sea bass was fine but at £48 it should be. Sides were necessary and tasted like child food and not in a good way. The wine list in that postcode is always going to be punchy which is fine but showcase great producers don’t hide behind lesser cheaper names at premium prices. Nice staff, not necessarily as good as the price but tried hard. Altogether, go for a glam bougee evening out just don’t expect culinary fireworks.

Good overall, but the smell coming from the kitchen is a bit of a let down. Otherwise, the staff is very helpful and the premise itself is quite pleasant in all resorts. Haven’t tried the food but coffee was well prepared.

The Arts Club has been on my radar for a long time. It’s been quite a sought after place to go out and had a reputation for being fun! I finally went tonight and was so disappointed. The staff were really unfriendly and the place was dead. The cocktails were lovely but the waiter taking our order looked like he’d rather be anywhere else. Both bars were quiet and the member that invited us in was really (and unnecessarily) very apologetic. Such a shame and I hope it perks up on other nights!

Delicious food in a really nice environment. Service was excellent, especially like to thank Vida as sommelière Thanks to the whole team
