    This is the second time I have eaten in this restaurant and to be honest it is probably one of my favourite restaurants in London. What I have found in eating here the second time is it is consistently good and not a one off, which is something I was worried about. The food is awesome is fresh and tasty, the service is second to none, nothing is too much trouble. The actual restaurant itself is full of character and makes for a very pleasant dining experience. If you are in London and looking to find a great experience then look no further than Joe Allen’s

    Divine and delicious! The great thing about coming here with 4 is we get to share many fab dishes. Highlights this time were the bbq beef tartare, chicken with black beans and, of course, the pork chop. The best mezcal Negroni! And Maddie: so warm and friendly! Love this place!

    Over the bank holiday we came 3 times and were very impressed with the service, food and ambience. Staff were friendly and helpful (particularly a lady called Marchesa who served us on Monday 4th May). Food was delicious, especially the brioche French toast. Would definitely recommend.

    It was a great experience. Good list of wines, great meat quality, good prices and the service were excellent. Is not a fancy restaurant because it is on the Casino but it was the best casino restaurant we ever been.
