    Good food and service. Business lunch offer now not available which we loved.

    A warm welcome and delicious food. Friendly and helpful waiters. A lovely selection on the pre-theatre menu (which is not always the case elsewhere). Very enjoyable, will go again.

    Restaurant is lovely inside. Service was slow. We ordered bread and butter to come before our mains, but it arrived with our mains. Took a while to have our plates cleared but the bill was quick to come. We both enjoyed the mains when they arrived.

    Sliced tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and basil, drizzled with balsamic reduction, alongside grilled eggplant topped with pomegranate seeds and green herb oil.
    Creamy risotto with mushrooms and herbs, garnished with cilantro, alongside caramelized roasted sweet potatoes topped with grilled shrimp and a glossy sauce, finished with microgreens.

    I arrived late due to train delays, but I had notified the staff in advance. Unfortunately, I had to sit in the downstairs bar area, which was slightly less comfortable than the upstairs dining space. Nevertheless, I'm grateful for the arrangement made by the staff. The food was fantastic! We ordered two starters and two mains, and I highly recommend the pistachio burrata, porcini risotto, and cauliflower steak. Overall, I would rate my experience a solid 8/10.

    Flatbread topped with fresh arugula and tender seasoned meat, served with a side of roasted baby potatoes.
    Seared tuna slices coated in sesame seeds, garnished with green onions and cilantro, served with a herbaceous green sauce and a side of dipping sauce.

    Enjoyed our dinner at Bantof in SoHo. The server gave us an excellent recommendation. The chicken was juicy and tender. Happy to be back.

    Really enjoyed Bantof. Only issue was our risotto was over salted. Everything else was excellent

    £7 for tap water for 2 people is outrageous. This place is better suited for drinks and bar snacks, not a meal. You'll be disappointed if you're someone who cooks at home with quality ingredients. The food does the job if you need something quick within a stones throw of the theaters, it won't wow you or leave you wanting to come back for more. The dishes lack the elevated flavours, cooking techniques and presentation which justifies going to a restaurant. I ordered the truffle burger without cheese or mayo and couldn't taste the slightest hint of truffle. The positives - it's easy to book a table and we were served promptly. Extensive drinks menu, reasonably priced wines by the glass and bar snacks.

    Starters are crazy expensive and we were the only people in restaurant. Sharing Seabass was good.

    The quality of the food was excellent, however the service was a bit slow, even though the restaurant was quite empty. On the other hand, it is a very good option to eat something quick before a show in the area.

    Bantof never fails to deliver. Great food, great service. Can be a little noisy as small, but that down to the loudness of the customers, not the venue.

    Lentils topped with roasted beets, sweet potatoes, goat cheese, fresh basil, and pomegranate seeds; alongside a salad of ripe tomatoes, arugula, a poached egg, and green herb pesto.
    Hearty club sandwich with turkey, ham, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise on soft white bread, served with crispy French fries and a fresh salad topped with avocado and herbs.

    Superb lunch once again. Our forth time and it does not disappoint.

    my asparagus had the woody bit on it which I had to cut away . I also think with water it should be left on the table to help ourselves. ...maybe being so close to the door affected the ambience. i"ll try again but upstairs

    Refreshing salad with tender meat, red onion, cherry tomatoes, sweet melon, and fresh cilantro.
    Creamy burrata cheese surrounded by citrus segments and fresh arugula, drizzled with balsamic reduction for a sweet and tangy finish.
    Creamy dessert topped with sliced fresh strawberries, a chocolate shard, powdered sugar, and crushed nuts for added texture and elegance.

    Food‘s quality is really good, staffs are very friendly. Location is so convenient, after dinner it’s only a few minutes walk to most Wes End attractions.

    Sam is a brilliant maitre d’hotel. The establishment continues to combine a lounge vibe with great food. We love the chef’s deft touch. Super wine list means we always feel we’ve had a special occasion without needing to remortgage!

    The maître d' was very welcoming. The areas were lovely. The food was top notch. Things that let is down was that the music was consistently over powering for a normal conversation (this was pre-DJ set). The napkins were of a quality akin to a fast food truck and tables weren’t wiped between courses when staff clearly saw that they were wet from cold drinks.

    The service was excellent - staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Food was tasty and well presented. Dessert was very delicious and not overly sweet - just perfect. It was very quiet when we arrived at 8pm - but two more tables arrived towards the end of our dinner. Very lovely ambience - good for dating!
