I went with the family for Sunday lunch. Every dish was interesting to look at and most importantly just delicious. The staff were very friendly. Only criticism is it is perhaps a bit over priced for example you can get Michelin starred food for a similar price. Nontheless mighty impressed
Having heard good things about this restaurant, decided to come for dinner. The decor was fairly simple, but had a good atmosphere. Service was decent. The food was very good. Especially enjoyed the chicken liver parfait with a Vietnamese twist.
This is hands down my favourite restaurant in London. We keep coming back for more, and despite trying some of the more hyped restaurants in East London, nothing has compared. The staff are lovely fun, and the chefs know how to make you have an experience with your taste buds, beyond that of several Michelin star restaurants I’ve been to. The Gnudi is trippy - it brings you on this journey from the wood fired mountain smokiness, down to Toscany with this sauce filled gnocchi-like glory, to southern Italy with its perfect blushes tomatoes, pesto and pine nuts. Everyone who comes gets addicted to the artichoke. The potato bread and butter is like heroin, the crab, the fried chicken and the lamb also divine. Great wine selection, and the smoked bacon old-fashioned blows your mind.
Just amazing. The vibe from the lights and gentle pastel tones of the interior makes the place very warm. The food is just glorious. Just felt wonderfully satisfied by the end of the meal. The bloodcake was especially scrumptious as well as the stuffed grouse which cut like butter. The famous custard tart was good but the sauce was the real winner.
Very nice food and excellent service. Well worth a trip to this nice, small restaurant. The food is quite special and well thought out. Particularly enjoyed the vegetables, with the mushroom main being our highlight dish. The only downside was an imbalance in seasonic, one of the sides was very salty. Service was friendly, attentive, and basically perfect for the atmosphere.
Fantastic aniversary dinner. Decided to try two lights restaurant and was not disappointed. Everything was cooked to perfection and the dishes kept on coming at perfect timings. The atmosphere is very relaxed and comfy. Highly recommend if you want to try something different thats full of flavour.
I feel like I'm being a bit picky, but having just been to a range of great restaurants of similar ilk, I just can't give Two Lights more than three out of five. But first I have to say that the service was lovely. Everyone who served us was friendly and jolly, very professional. We had few plates to share, like the sea bass tartare. It was quite 'fishy', suggesting it wasn't maybe the freshest of the fresh fish. The endive and burrata salad lacked a generous sprinkling of salt. Unfortunately a similar story for the flat breads with mussels. The cheese you got for £8.50 was disappointing, and served with a chutney and crackers that didn't do the beautiful cheese justice. But, it wasn't all doom and gloom: the chicken liver parfait with black garlic and pickled pumpkin was to die for! Similarly the broccoli was delicious, I would have gladly eaten at least two portions of both. There are so many places in London that are similar, with almost indistinguishable menus, so I'd love to see Two Lights be bolder and braver with their "American Inspiration" and push the boat out a little. The elements are there but the delivery isn't quite.
Dinner at Two Lights was a fun experience with lots of rich flavors. The riffs on American food were fun and delicious while not relying too heavily on some common tropes.
Absolutely amazing all the way around. I liked the simple interior, reminded of a local joint in NYC, nice room, simple but well done. Service was very nice and attentive without being intrusive. Everything we had was fantastic. It’s great to see creative cooking without being too fussy. It was not complex creations, but they were creative and unique and wonderful. The flatbread with ceps was so rich, it would be good for sharing. The Artichoke was the star, charred and smokey, with lemon and something else, but the whole flavour and presentation was a show stopper. Don’t bother with the miso dip that comes with it, it’s not needed but it’s tasty if you want to try it The tartrate in the cheddar popover was great, and a fun take on the typical dish. We shared the large plate of the Fried chicken which was awesome, more than enough to share. I can’t recommend checking this place out enough.
Enjoyed my meal at Two Lights. We shared two small plates and two large plates and each had a dessert. With four drinks the total bill came to about £100 so pretty good value for money. I thought the starters were fantastic, the mains less interesting or memorable, hence the four stars.
