The Ninth Fitzrovia

Good service, food in general is nice but we were disappointed overall. The crab and seaweed tartlet was a let down. Very small and over cooked at 3.80 each. Expected to have fresh crab meat at least. Second let down was the Dover sole and rainbow chard. Looked nice but the dish was so overcooked the fish was dry and like eating cardboard. Could not finish it - we did feedback to let the chef know. It was probably the worst piece of cooked fish we have had in a while. Definitely not worthy of a Michelin star, sorry to say. The Roe deer was cooked perfectly and was very nice. Yellowtail was nice and fresh. Also enjoyed the beef cheek and tongue. Dessert was decent and have to say the service was good. They also did not charge us for the dessert due to the issue with the fish dish

Accessible fine dining that won't empty your wallet. It's not as polished as some Michelin-starred London venues, but the food genuinely delivers. We ordered the Venison Ragu, Burrata, Confit Duck Leg, and finished with Choux Au Craquelin - everything was excellent and worth ordering. We booked the early dinner offer for two or three courses, which is remarkable value. However, the limited time slot makes it feel rushed. Staff don't pressure you, but knowing everyone arrived for the same time-limited offer and will leave simultaneously creates an unspoken urgency. Despite the time constraints, it's a fantastic option for quality food in a proper dining setting.
