REVIEWS OF Joe Allen Restaurant
Millstone Mirry (23 November 2009)
I have been eating at Joe Allen for thirty years and it just gets better and better. The lobster burger is fantastic and the atmosphere is great. The first star I spotted there was Diane from Crossroads but I am too short-sighted now to recognise faces!
Francisco (19 September 2008)
Joe Allen's has been one of our favourite London restaurants for some years and every occasion was a happy experience. The last but one meal we had there in autumn 2007 was good and enjoyable. There was a wonderful atmosphere and good service. Our visit a month ago was a disappointment and the atmosphere was gone. The food was not particularly good - no, that is not fair. The food was poor and the service, non-existent. What has happened? We live in Spain and a visit to Joe Allen's has always been on our schedule. I do not think we shall be repeating the experience.
