    This is a fantastic place to dine if you’re bringing along your furry companions. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Highly recommended!

    Overall the experience was nice but we had to wait ages for someone to come and take our order to the point I had to go over and order at the bar. When leaving we had to do the same go up to bar the pay for our bill as no one was coming over to ask if we needed more drinks etc

    The servers brought out 2 of 10 meals around 15 minutes before the rest of the group received their meals. They had eaten their food before the rest started. We had a total of 4 different servers which caused some confusion for them. An issue for the management to sort out. One of the servers was very sarcastic when asked questions/ordered. Wont be recomending this restaurant/bar.

    The location of this place is excellent, very beautiful. There is a great choice of food and drinks and the service is brilliant. Portions are not too big and food and drink arrive on time. The waiters we had were fab, so friendly and knowledgeable

    When we walked in, we were surprised it was a bar lounge and loud music playing. We were just looking to having a nice meal and this is not the scene we expected. 1 person took our name for our reservation and then gave us a table squeezed next to another group. We asked for a different table since there was only 1 other table occupied in the restaurant. We ended up leaving after awhile since no one came over to take our order and the music was pretty loud. A cool place to hang if you are looking for that scene and I am sure the food or drinks may be good but we never got that far.

    Wasn’t really what we expected to be honest, the bar is fantastic for a drink and a smoke as the cigar list was very well priced and had some rather unique and interesting options a few out of stock but that’s ok. If your looking for a real sit down meal look elsewhere tho.

    Burgers were really good, loaded fries were a welcome surprise, the dogtails were spawctacular (according to our pup) and the off-the-menu cheesecake was perfect. Hats off to Aditya and the rest of the crew for making it an amazing experience.

    We arrived with our dog and we’re made to feel comfortable immediately. The service was amazing and the restaurant had a lovely feel. The menu was limited but perfect for what we were looking for. The dog menu was great.

    If you have a dog, this is such a great place to take them. Without doubt the most dog friendly restaurant/bar I’ve been to. Service was also very good!

    Service was terrible, haven’t been in a place in central London with such a bad service before…! Food was okay, but if you don’t actually have a dog, don’t bother going.

    Walked in and was greeted and seated very quickly, we ordered and our drinks were lovely! Ordered our food and the started were lovely, really recommend the tiger prawns and halloumi, we waited nearly an hour for our main meals which turnt out not being put through the order! Despite the mistake the food came out and the restaurant provided 2 drinks on the house as an apology! It was never a problem, mistakes happen! The food when it came was absolutely amazing! Fish n chips was the best I have ever tasted, and mushy peas were perfect, Overall i couldnt fault it on there food or service! Was very welcoming and tasty! The price was very good considering the quality of food!

    Small bar and great that it’s dog friendly, but the service was horrendous and the food not all that great. Only went because I had my dog with me, won’t be rushing back.

    Met up here with friends as wanted a restaurant that could cater for meat eaters, vegetarians and was also dog friendly. Smith and Whistle was the ideal spot, food was amazing and the service efficient, yet unobtrusive. Very relaxed atmosphere and did not feel rushed in any way. Would highly recommend.

    Very nice dog-friendly bar on Green Park. Took my girlfriend (and dog) there for her birthday. They brought water over for the dog immediately and offered the dog a treat after making sure it was ok with us first. Food was a nice mix of choices (we had a burger, lamb kebab and king prawns. Cocktails were superb and service from Aditya was about as good as it gets. Recommend , especially if you are a dog lover ????

    Bit disappointed that there was nothing I could eat on the menu. I'm vegetarian and they had no vegetarian options apart from the chips and olives as everything else had been taken off. I had my dog with me so didn't want the hassle of then trying to find somewhere else dog friendly plus it was raining bad so I just stayed and had chips. My dog loved it though.

    Disappointing service, despite a 12.5 percent service charge, no one came up to me to ask me for drinks and I had to go to the bar to order. Staff were not very attentive. Staff were only attentive after I had ordered the drinks, decided not to eat there and go elsewhere.

    The staff is lovely and the food was delicious and well priced. Not a lot of seating so request a table with real chairs. Would recommend a quick meal like fish and chips.

    Cosy & nice ambiance, a perfect spot if you’re out with your doggy. The drinks and food is good too. The service is a bit slow, bit we didn’t care much as the overall experience was good.

    Lovely staff is understandable for the mess a dog can make. Lovely food and they have dog food as well. There is enough space between the tables, so I didn't have to worry my dog will disturb the table next to me as we are too close.
