Four to Eight

As always, a very warm welcome. Our guests were hugely impressed with the food and atmosphere; we treated ourselves to a wonderfully fresh white wine (the list is varied and interesting) to match the octopus starter. The lamb neck was beautifully tender and succulent. We will all be returning!

Very good food in an attractively designed restaurant slightly away from the more touristy heart of Covent Garden. Helpful staff and nice ambience. Will be back.

Very nice meal, with swift and friendly service. Food was well cooked and elegantly served with an interesting menu. Had the set theatre menu, but keen to try the a'la carte. Will definitely be going back.

This was our first visit to 4 to 8. Excellent menu; all the dishes we had on our table of 4 were delicious; knowledgeable staff and very good wine list - we will definitely come back

Every bit as good as we had hoped, perfect for pre theatre dinner. We had intended to have the pre dinner menu, but were seduced by the daily specials. The food was excellent, only one small thing, down to personal preference I would have preferred a little more kick to the beetroot starter. Great attentive but not overbearing service meant we got apperitifs, three courses and coffee in an hour and a quarter. will recommend to friends and return again ourselves

Food was ordinary but the bill was extraordinary. 10 £ the small glass of Chardonnay ! The service was not so friendly,the waitress looking in the other direction if you call her.

It was the first time I'd been to this restaurant. It has a fairly short but very interesting menu. Not your typical Italian. The food was excellent - very tasty. I can recommend the octopus and fish of the day. We were a group of four and wanted sociable evening. We weren't rushed at all. The service was excellent and the restaurant itself is very stylish. I will definitely be going back.

Excellent service the food was great and the staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone .would go again next we are in London.

Lovely food and service with good wines. Menu is interesting but any regular visitor will want the menu changed monthly to keep it fresh and interesting. Given the awful restaurants in theatre land this is an excellent exception and deserves success.

It was absolutely awful . Whilst our waitress was lovely the 3 main course for a party of three were of the most appalling quality . I understand that our reservation was for 10.30 and the chef probably wanted to go home , however that in no way excuses what was served up . Furious

Great pre theatre meal with children 8 and 9yrs old. (And grandparents!) everyone happy with atmosphere location food and especially service. Gino and his team provided everything with a helpful smile.

Fantastic service and excellent food. Normal London prices but good value for money in my humble opinion. Perfect pre-theatre venue just off Drury Lane, particularly well situated for the Theatre Royal.

Really good food, service was lovely.. And cocktails were tasty x3! Easy location for anyone watching a show at the theatre. Would return, and certainly get more olives!

Nice food and a lovely atmosphere, service was rather slow even though it wasn't a busy night. I will have to try different recipes to make a better judgement

Good friendly service, good straightforward food, smart place for a friendly lunch or pre- or post theatre dinner. Dessert particularly good. I'll definitely return soon.

First time visiting this restaurant. The food served was excellent and the service was of a high quality. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

Excellent food and service .. Will definitely be going back there

Excellent and well thought out menu. The food is delicious and the service warm and welcoming. Make sure you begin the experience with their beautifully fresh olives.

Watch out for the price if you choose the Dish of the Day, rather badly out of line with the rest of the prices. OK otherwise.

Excellent night. Superb service and the food was absolutely delicious. A few unusual dishes to chose from too if you fancy something a little different. Would happily recommend to my friends and certainly would return.

Stunning food, lovely ambience and a pleasure to done in. A wonderful meal (and a brilliant wine selection) staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. also very central!

We went for a pre - theatre lunch. It's definitely either booking in advance as the place gets very busy. Service and food were outstanding. They even cook off the menu for children (within reason), although with their mixture of pasta and steaks you don't need any extras.

Service ok mais prix trop élevés pour la qualité . Trop bruyant ce n est pas une ambiance cosy mais plus une ambiance brasserie mais viande grillée ok .

Really enjoyed our meal. Very high quality, tasty food and very good value for the area. Would definitely recommend.

Really enjoyable place to go. The staff are fantastic-knowledgeable, fun, engaging. The food fabulous-interesting and well presented-I like my food major hot, as in temperature and so that was my only fault not quite hot enough for me.

Easy to find as it is beside the Duchess Theatre. Staff welcoming and very knowledgeable about the food and wine. Attentive, food was wonderful, a great experience. Thank you.

Food was great. However, service was a let down. Waited over an hr for very simple items and tbh not that much food. Waiter didn't ask if we wanted any other drinks.

NICE ATMOSPHERE, service exellent, waitress very friendly.Just after the theatre there were a little rush, but the orders were taken immediately.Lamb was not as warm as one would expect.Good anyway.

Service a bit slow to start and they forgot a few things but this improved as evening went on . The good was great two of us had the tasting menu and when we commented we didn't like one of the courses they replaced with another of our choice which was good if them . Overall a lively restaurant with great food and staff lovely

Had a really great evening. The food was excellent and the cocktails and wines were also outstanding. Great atmosphere and fantastic service. Will definitely be back.

Great no fantastic place to dine will be going back again and again :-) Food is well prepared and well presented. Waiters are attentive and knowledgeable of ingredients used in dishes

Had dinner with friends at this place Good service and venue. Nothing exceptional with the food and menue very limited. A bit expensive for the offer

The food was beautiful, the staff were absolutely lovely and everything about the experience was great. We went 7 of us for a quick lunch break that lasted two hours because we forgot we were on lunch and the time went so fast! Food 10/10 Staff 10/10 Price SO affordable ... Recommend!

I found the service be excellent and the fish special brilliant. Good value and well executed food. Both waitresses were very attentive. Only draw back would be our position next to the coffee machine.

Looking forward to a nice meal, the adventure started the night before when we were contacted to reconfirm our booking. We were then told that we only had the table until 10pm (our booking was for 8.15). This was never mentioned on the confirmation when we made the booking. So we were surprised to be told this the night before we were due to go for our meal. So if you are booking please double check to see how long you have the table for? When we arrived we were shown to our table and ordered our drinks. Our waitress for the evening was very good and attentive. We order our meals and continued with our evening. The starters were both fantastic, this boded well for the main course. For the main I ordered the Cote de Beef steak at £30. Unfortunately when the steak arrived it was very tough and filled with sinew. It was inedible, our waitress noticed I was having difficulty cutting the meat with my steak knife so she brought over the manager to see the issue. The manager was very apologetic and promptly ordered another one for me. Unfortunately the second one was just as bad so I gave it up as a bad job. Again the manager apologised and arranged for this to be taken off the bill. My wife's main course again as the starters was fantastic. The puddings carried on in the same vain as well. It is a shame that the most expensive steak on the menu was substandard. (I have to say that a group of younger diners on the table next to us had the same steak as me, although they did not complain but you could see that they had left it on there plates, one of them actually ended up eating his partners pasta dish) Unfortunately this overshadowed the evening, I was still hungry when I left. It is a shame because the rest off the food was perfect. Just one last note, there were a lot of spare tables around so I don't know why we were told that our table was only ours until 10pm????

Fantastic restaurant. Staff couldn't do enough to help you enjoy your time there. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fancy place to eat after/ before a west end show.

Such a gorgeous Italian and absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere! Bar staff are brilliant and cannot do enough for you. The cocktails really are out of this world!

First visit and very impressed. Good set menu and good choices. Staff excellent. Will definitely revisit. Very busy, buzzy atmosphere in good location near Covent Garden and Theatreland

Great friendly service, very quick, delicious food. loved the lamb shoulder ragu. Staff were v helpful when they found out we had a show to go to do were in a hurry

Great Italian restaurant. Gorgeous food, great staff, lovely ambience. Will definitely return. Small but reliable menu including some vegetarian mains. Daily pasta and dessert specials.

Lovely meal. Risotto was particularly good. Very well looked after by staff. Thank you. Can highly recommend. Look forward to our next meal at this great restaurant

The corner table we requested had been reserved, and we enjoyed an excellent meal from the varied choices on the imaginative menu. The food was perfectly prepared and attractively served; my guest was particularly impressed by the duck as his main course. The service of was friendly but unobtrusive, and our waitress (who unlike many of her kind politely waited for a break in our conversation before asking for our orders) was able to describe exactly how the duck was cooked. Very impressive and reasonably priced. I will be back.

Very odd food - undercooked poached egg on no more than 1/2 a asparagus spear; huge ball of buffalo mozzarella in a bowl of milk and a dollop of aubergine; gnocchi on a mushroom slurry; burnt toast.

Delicious plates. Good selection of wines (a bit too expensive for the quality). Lovely place. On time for the theatre. We will come back for sure.

Four to Eight is a really lovely place to eat whether in the evening or lunch time. I happened upon it in an internet search and it was right next to the theatre we were going to so it was convenient and turned out to be delightful. We are going back to the restaurant - different theatre this time!

The start wasn't good. Despite a confirming email and a telephone call from the restaurant, when we arrived there seemed to be no sign of our reservation. The manager was called and the problem resolved. After that we had a great time. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and the service friendly and pleasant. We weren't rushed but had plenty of time for three courses and coffee before we left to go to the theatre. I will eat here again.

this venue made our family lunch very memorable.Excellent cooking and menu.two bottle of of wine were enjoyed despite some still on the January detox.both sons had a daily special which they rated highly and the vegetarian was more than happy with her choices.we had travelled from Kent,Brussels and Manchester and the lunch was more than a great success. Thankyou. ps best broccoli any one had ever tasted.!

The hosts and staff who work there are always very nice and the food is delicious. A very enjoyable experience as normal. Keep it up!

Very small portions, for the price they charge. Came away hungry, and had to go somewhere else to fill up. Plus, it annoys me highly when service charge is automatically added.

Great restaurant , food and service. Really enjoyed the experience, great location for the west end. Would highly recommend it and will be using it again
