Restaurants near Inner Temple Library

I really like the ambience of this place - not overly young and trendy so an oldster like me can feel at home. But our enjoyment was compromised slightly by a couple of things Saturday night. We arrived early only to be 'welcomed' by the news that we'd only have the table for an hour which meant that had we arrived at the end of our grace period we'd have been turfed out after 30 minutes. Not on. If I book a table I expect a couple of hours' worth at least. We we told several times that our time was nearly up: not the most relaxing thing. Further, we ordered food - three of us. One dish arrived but not the other two. Once they had arrived after being chased up ......it was time to go. We asked for a stay of execution to be given time to eat at least, which they granted. So, would I go back? Yes but I'd love to know that I can stay long enough to enjoy the experience. Maybe we didn't spend enough money.........?

If you want beautiful food coupled with a wonderfully relaxed ambience, this is your place. A great buzzing pub bar downstairs but peace reigneth upstairs. Didn’t give 5 stars for ambience just because very quiet when we dined, due to short staffed. Would definitely book again.

It was a quiet Monday lunch however the service, food and experience was top notch, as you’d expect from Gaucho. Thank you

Good range of food - I’m currently having to do an elimination diet but I could eat their salmon salad and it was delicious! My friend had one of their pizzas and was very happy. Lovely bottle of pinot, really nice restaurant, and we were left to chat which was nice, we didn’t feel rushed at all:)

We booked a meal here as we were staying in the hotel and going to the theatre. I booked early as I had seen an offer if you ate before 4pm but we didn’t get the discount, and I couldn’t find it again afterwards. The restaurant was very quiet at that time so there wasn’t much ambiance but I would imagine the ambiance is good when it is busier. The service was good, attentive but not intrusive, and the food was lovely. Overall we would go again if we were in London.
