   I had emailed ahead of time as I was on a date and the hostess had reserved a table in the corner as requested and even brought a complimentary bottle of champagne. The food was lovely and the atmosphere is great. Will definitely be back!

   Staff were nice but very keen on upselling drinks and menu items we didn’t request and getting us out of the restaurant the minute our meal was over.

   Nice bistro, good atmosphere and good food. Excellent service. A little bit more expensive but worth it.

   Galvin's' needs to decide whether it IS a 'restaurant' or 'fast food' outlet! The signs before we even arrived were not great - i.e. - chasing for credit card details already given at the time of booking on OpenTable? (Scam? No, Galvin's confirmed they had sent the email!) - 5 days before they emailed requesting we confirm. They seemed not to trust 'OpenTable'. - 2 days before they emailed again advising we had a 2-hour time slot! We should have trusted our instincts and cancelled. Who wants to be rushed through a Christmas Lunch? We arrived early (11.50 am) for our noon time slot. The staff seemed to be having a team meeting. They did not break off - instead an archetypal 'snooty' type staff member raised his eyebrows and looked towards the door. He confirmed I was in the correct place! He proceeded to squeeze me into the smallest space possible. (Punishment??) The restaurant was empty. We asked to move to a more comfortable table (with more room) to be told by 'Mr Snooty' they were all 'reserved'. It turns out they weren't and indeed considering it was a week before Christmas, there were quite a few empty tables! We ordered quickly. Before I had even finished my 1st Course, the waitress had brought over my Main!! She blamed it on the Chef! The Main was warm (it had been sitting for a while), the sides were piping hot! It was 1.10 pm and we decided on a dessert. Before taking our order, the 'speedy' waitress informed us our slot was 2 hours! We still had 40 minutes! They were not used to guests having 3 courses! They wanted us out! The portion size of the dessert, was a 'panic' portion - no bigger than a 'Kit-Kat' finger! It was as if the Chef had not made enough and had to do the equivalent of 'feeding the 5000!' Overall it was not a pleasant or comfortable experience. The icing on the cake? A 14% service charge! Service? What service? Verdict- AVOID this fast food outlet with 5 star drinks prices!

   We went for the Beaujolais Nouveau evening: service was slow and the nouveau really wasn’t a great example but good atmosphere and fairly priced

   Food and service good, enjoyed the terrine and fish from the set menu. The accompanying wine, whilst reasonably priced, was rather acerbic.

   Portion sizes on pre theatre extraordinarily small, even with extra sides we left hungry.
