100 Wardour Street

The first thing that I’ll say about 100 Wardour St is that they’ve done a very good job with the refurbishment. Heading downstairs to be greeted by the house band is a nice touch although depending on where you are then sat it may be the only glimpse that you get of them.
The dining room itself looks pretty classy with a very good finish although the main reservation that I have with it is the amount of light. Where I was sat was particularly dark and it made looking at the menu and seeing the food correctly a little bit more difficult than it should have been.
First things first and it was time to choose some wine. Our waiter was very helpful with the questions we asked and was happy to make recommendations. Unfortunately they first 2 wines that we decided on were not yet in stock. Luckily the 3^rd bottle was and turned out to be delicious. With wines ranging from £19 to hundreds there should be something to suit everyone’s budget.
After ordering a few starters to try and taste as much as possible as well as mains we waited for their arrival. Turns out that the small starter plates were slightly bigger than expected and were hit and miss. Highly recommended would be the queen scallops, pork belly and the marinated Basque steak; one to avoid would be the aubergine dip.
The fillet steak main was one of the best I’ve had in London and the french fries were a nice accompaniment however the yellowfin tuna was a bit of a let down and not something I would order again.
Even after all this food there was still room for a little bit more. There usually is! We decided to plump for the french toast which was very nice but incredibly rich and I’m glad we decided to share as I wouldn’t have been able to eat the whole thing. The other choice was the pineapple carpaccio which was a very good dish indeed and what I would heartily recommend finishing your meal with.
Due to this being the soft lauch there was an offer of 50% off the food which took my total bill down to £100. 100 Wardour St offered good value for that but would I come back at full price… I’m not sure
