I haven’t been since they moved, but have been going on and off for thirty odd years. The space is much smaller, a bit like visiting swanky friends who’ve fallen on hard times to be honest but it kind of looks the same. Try and avoid the tables for two, they’re a bit squished in. The barman and the woman with the very impressive tattoo on her back seem to have gone and the waiting staff now dressed in green instead of white. The whisky sour’s are still good though. The food? It was okay, but to be honest nobody ever went to Joe Allen’s for the food. I had a nice steak and the darling Julie said her sole was good and the pecan pie is as lovely as ever. Still can’t have it with ice cream though. They don’t have burgers on the menu but of course they will sell you one. To round up, not as good as it used to be, but then it’s always been a bit that way. Would I go back? maybe, maybe not.

As great as London is for food, it's quite hard to find a good place before heading to the theatre (or even just a nice venue this centrally to the city) but Joe Allen's is a touch of class at a comfortable price. The piano plays every day of the week for dinner and at brunch, the service is top notch (love how the kitchen staff bring out the food but the waiters are required to set it down on the table). The service in general is excellent, as is the exemplary decor, the whole place oozes style. The food itself is also very good in my experience, if you haven't been before it's worth noting there are no burgers on the menu but you'll see plenty being served around. To order from the secret burger menu, you just have to whisper to one of the wait staff - they are fantastic and probably my favourite thing to get. It's not especially expensive unless you get one of there cocktails (in my opinion they're nothing special but the price is fairly good and the champagne classic is excellent I'm told). Overall I'd absolutely recommend it, the atmosphere with the music is top notch, and it's the right volume to talk which I think is always important. Get yourself down there!

So so so disappointed with the new Joe Allens. I have been a constant at the old restaurant which I loved. Went for the first time tonight to the new one. What can I say! Really small bar, lots of empty tables, piano tucked away in the corner that we missed it until it started playing, no JD on the drinks menu, really poor waiter service, and tough ribs that I needed a steak knife. What's happening! Won't be rushing back which is so sad.

This beautiful restaurant is nestled in a quiet street in Covent Garden. The staff here are always amazing with a wine menu to suit all tastes and wallet flexibility. The food is OUTSTANDING, the cocktails are special - all of this with a fantastic atmosphere.. Make sure you book your table in advance or you'll be hungry sat at the bar!

The new Joe Allen's in Burleigh Street is out of this world. It has reached new heights of excellence. Strongly recommended.
