Great to have somewhere where you can eat late after a show. Great atmosphere. The staff are very lovely, and food is very good. The music was just a wee bit too loud for a place where you're seated for food and drinks would be my only note. I really liked this place and would be very happy to come back.
Fabulous! We both had busy days/week working and needed something fun which included food, cocktails and an atmosphere that was both sparkling & buzzing. You guys delivered thanks Steve & Sophia. (Saturday Eve, Bar Seats)
Put on a table upstairs and right in the back by the service area. It was really loud and noisy with staff and their friends shouting, talking really loud and crashing around. The waiter was not very good and dropped a whole tray of dishes and drinks from a tray on to me and my lap and basically said nothing, whilst I dusted all the food and drink off me and my friends and the neighbouring table looking on in absolute shock. Really rubbish experience.

We arrived earlier than our booking but were greeted warmly and taken to a lovely table up the stairs. The lady who served us couldn't have been nicer, she had a lovely smile and nothing was too much trouble. The food was awesome, starters of sour dough bread and onion and potato bhajis - they were amazing! We all has Sunday roast beef, so soft it was like butter , generous portions and extra gravy delivered too! Deserts were cheese and biscuit's (huge) , sticky toffee pudding and ice cream with truffles on the side . We left incredibly happy and very full but it was worth it, great place and highly recommend x

Great restaurant with a buzzy atmosphere. It is quite noisy so if you're looking for a quiet romantic meal, possibly not the place, but we enjoyed the buzz. Food was served quickly and was delicious.
Always amazing here. We are regulars. This time we took our nephew for his 18th, and his first time around Soho followed by a night seeing Raye @ The O2. There was no way we wasn't going to start and end the weekend here. The staff are always incredibly friendly, and really good fun. The team here really do make an already amazing venue even better.

First visit, didnt disappoint. Will be back! From front of house to leaving, no complaints. Food was nice and came in a timely manner, which was handy as my friend and I were due to watch a show.

Four of us dined here after the theatre. My sister is vegan and gluten intolerant and they accommodated her needs very well, adjusting her chosen dish so she could eat there. Lively, vibrant, would've liked a wider choice of cocktails.
Great location for pre theatre. Service was very quick as tables turn over quickly so not the place for a leisurely experience. The tables are so tightly packed that you've no privacy and have to talk loudly to be heard which wasn't great either! Food was good though and the birthday treat was a lovely touch. Thank you!

Great food (again - I was last here in January), especially steak tartare, ham, egg & chips (actually a bacon chop - delicious!) and jammie dodger dessert. Service was very polite and friendly but occasionally forgetful. Atmosphere was lively but a couple of larger groups meant that it was also very loud which occasionally made conversation difficult - perhaps group sizes could be limited, or kept to one area? Very good value for money and overall would highly recommend.
Great food but the service wasn't very good . Didn't get asked till after we ordered our desserts and coffees that our time was up at the table and had to move but one of the managers couldn't of been more apologetic and sorted it out with a lovely glass of Prosecco so thank to him

We really enjoyed our first time visit and would definitely go back. The only slight negative was the table we had wasn't the best and seemed to be in the way and too close to other tables to allow the waiters access without knocking the back of my chair.

The music in the restaurant was extremely loud making it almost impossible to hold a conversation (at a round table for three). Waiter did not offer more drinks after we finished our bottle of wine.... He was clearly hoping to clear his area as quickly as possible (9:30pm)!! Much easier and better at lunchtime....

OCB is one of my favourite spots for cheap, tasty and cheerful brunch on weekends. This time I was a bit disappointed because the waiting staff, as nice as they were, kept coming to our table to tell us how much longer we had the table. As if we were on a countdown. Not the best way to relax.

The food was excellent and fairly priced. But the background music was so loud it was like eating in a nightclub. We were sitting upstairs and we had to shout to each other to be heard. Couldn't wait to leave to be able to have a conversation. If the plan is to have a high turnover of tables then it worked!
