  “What a lovely experience! Om was an excellent server. Food and drinks came out quickly and to a high standard. The flaming birthday cake was a huge bonus and a very sweet gesture. The setting is also beautiful - airy, friendly, clean, and very inviting.”

  “The Soak at The Clermont Victoria was one of the culinary highlights of our trip to London. While the food was excellent, what truly made our experience exceptional was the outstanding service and genuine hospitality from the team. A special thank you to George, Pedro, Mohammad, Antony, and Sammy, who consistently went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their professionalism, warmth, attention to detail, and friendly personalities turned every meal into a memorable experience. They anticipated our needs, made thoughtful recommendations, and created the kind of atmosphere that keeps you coming back. The new breakfast menu was fantastic. The bacon and cheese omelette was perfectly prepared and served with a fresh salad, toast, and delicious jams. The Eggs Benedict was rich and beautifully executed, while the American pancakes topped with crispy fried chicken and bacon were a wonderfully indulgent treat. The caramel latte was incredibly creamy, smooth, and absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed dinner at The Soak and were equally impressed. The pork belly was outstanding, the penne pasta was flavorful and comforting, and the traditional English fish and chips were cooked to perfection with a light, crisp batter. Their bourbon drinks were excellent, but what really stole the show was the phenomenal presentation of the drinks. Every cocktail felt like an experience in itself. They were creative, beautifully crafted, and visually stunning. The salted caramel espresso martini was the perfect finale to a wonderful meal. It’s rare to find a place where the quality of the food, creativity of the drinks, and level of service all exceed expectations, but The Soak delivers on every front. George, Pedro, Antony, Mohammad, and Sammy deserve special recognition for making our visit so memorable. We can’t wait to return and would highly recommend The Soak to anyone visiting London.”

  “We had a lovely experience with all the servers and staff that we encountered. The food was delicious and there were ample serving sizes. I do wish that the music was quieter as it was at times difficult to have a conversation without having to yell.”

  “We had a gorgeous meal at The Soak in Paddington and were genuinely impressed from start to finish. The seabass was absolutely stunning — perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The cocktails were just as good, really well made and a lovely treat alongside the meal. The kids’ menu was brilliant too in terms of options and value. Proper portions, great quality, and clearly made with as much care as the main dishes. I wasn’t planning on getting dessert… until I saw the kids’ arrive. Then of course we all caved, and I’m so glad we did — every dessert was delicious. Service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and easy. We left happy, full, and already talking about when we’ll be back when next in London.”

  “The atmosphere is absolutely lovely, florals, nice furniture and lighting. Food was decent, the group enjoyed the pasta arrabbiata and katsu curry chicken. The rib-eye was tasty but quite chewy, the accompanying truffle gratin was yum but the creamed spinach was a let down, seemed very watery rather than rich and creamy. The Korean popcorn chicken small plate was good. The pork belly dish was good but the pieces were on the dry side. Regarding service, it seemed good. The only negative would be, after they cleared the table, no dessert menu was offered and it was difficult to catch anyone's eye to ask.”

The food was so tasty, we had a mix of Asian dishes and English dishes.Everything had rave reviews from all of us…chicken katsu curry, sea bass, pork belly, fish and chips and the Soak burger. Everything was piping hot and fresh. Thank you The Soak!”

  “Soak London definitely makes a strong first impression. The interiors are beautifully done — chic, polished, and undeniably posh — making it a lovely spot for an evening out. The location is fantastic too, perfect for meeting friends or starting a night in the city. The cocktails were a real highlight; well-balanced, visually appealing, and easily one of the best parts of the experience. You can tell care has gone into the drinks menu. Food, however, was a bit hit and miss. The katsu curry unfortunately felt quite disconnected — almost divorced from the curry itself — leaving the dish dry and lacking the comforting richness you’d expect. The burger, while decent, didn’t quite stand out and could definitely have been better in terms of flavour and juiciness. On the brighter side, the dumplings were enjoyable and nicely executed, and dessert ended the meal on a positive note. Overall, Soak London shines when it comes to ambience and drinks, but the kitchen feels slightly inconsistent. A great place for cocktails and atmosphere, with some refinement needed on the food side to truly match the setting.”
