I have eaten at RSJ on a number of occasions, including several pre-theatre dinners with a group of up to six or eight people. RSJ is very convivial, with a warm and personal welcome from the small staff, pleasant and comfortable ambience - if a little on the small side - and excellent food. As I recall they offer a two or three course theatre dinner at a price, which is very reasonable for this area of London and with a decent range of options - typically three to four starters, mains and puddings. The food has always been excellent and attractively presented. Nothing too exotic or extreme, just simple good quality ingredients well prepared with a slightly French or international cuisine approach. Service has always been prompt; this is obviously important if you are trying to get away for a 7.30 performance at the National Theatre, a five-minute walk away. RSJ specialises in Loire wines and you will find something there to suit your taste at a reasonable price. Very good value for money by London standards; I would strongly recommend it.
