We went for a pre theatre supper just before Christmas so it was packed and noisy, but fun. The staff, in what was fairly trying conditions, were charming, helpful and friendly. The food was perfect for an early supper on a cold night

Theatre Lover 17 December 2011 From London

              We dined at 1.00pm prior to a matinee show. The service was quick and the staff friendly. The food was delicious but a little pricey. The location of Tuttons is perfect, right by Covent Garden Market and close to the theatres. I took my teenage daughter and 12 year old son who both enjoyed the experience. They are relatively fussy with their food but had no complaints. Would definately use Tuttons on our next visit to London

                    Went here with 4 friends for a 3 course lunch for[$] (plus service charge). We couldn't believe how delicious the food was and great value. The chips were a little late coming out and so they provided (without us asking) lovely crusty bread to have in the mean time. We all said that we would definitely go back there on our next trip to London.

                                -New potatoes undercooked-Steak overcooked-Vegetables had to be ordered separately so they cost [$] extra for two people which is ridiculous-Too loud to talk-The gratuity was included on the card payment with no option to decline it even though it was 'optional'-Cost over [$] for two people just to have a main each and a shared dessert (no starters or wine)-The most unsatisfactory meal I have ever had!

                                            We dined at 5pm, it was noisy with Christmas revellers but it added to the atmosphere. Service was very good though we did have to ask lots of times for a jug of water!

                                            Waiters very friendly but the main door has an outside opening and seemed to stay open a lot and everyone felt the cold!

                                                        Very busy at dinner time. Service was very slow, and we nearly missed our opera. We had to wait nearly half an hour for our dinner and when it came, we only had 10 minutes to eat it. Drink service very good, but generally, waiters seemed a bit indifferent. Food was very nice. Very convenient for opera house, but if you are short of time, give this a miss.

                                                              Watch the 12.5% tipping charge which was a bit heavy.
