1776 @ 1 Lombard Street - London

I chose this restaurant to have lunch with a friend. It wasn’t full so I was a bit disappointed to be shown to a table in a back room not the main restaurant. There was just one other couple dining there. The up side was that it wasn’t noisy I suppose! We had the set menu which was excellent value and the main course was delicious but they had run out of the starter that I ordered. So a mixed exwhich was a shame as my previous lunch here had been excellent.

The venue is excellent and the food was very good, personally I would have liked the batter on my cod a little crispier but it was still very tasty. If arriving before 10 minutes before 12, which is when the restaurant bit opens, there isnt really much of a waiting area, this could be improved as you're a little uncomfortable just waiting around

A lovely lunch venue with attentive service and a pleasant ambience.

A great restaurant with exceptional 5* service and location for the city. Busy and atmospheric the 1776 restaurant at the back is good for the more quiet leisurely lunch. Good wine list and good menu choice.

It is possible to have a good conversation where all people at the table can actually hear one another, the Brasserie is too noisy, the restaurant is just about right. The food was very good, well presented, well served by courteous and efficient staff. Arguably the price of the extras bumps up the price a bit and being an old timer, I prefer to give my own gratuity rather than have it taken but hey times change. Overall it was a very pleasant lunch experience, one to be repeated.
