The restaurant accepted my booking yet when I arrived it was closed. I took a taxi there only to have to get another one straight back. Appalling.

Having booked a late table when we arrived we were told that it was too late to eat. It took the appearance of the owner or maitre de to change the waiter's mind. We did stay as we had planned this post performance meal and didn't want to up sticks at 10.30 in search of something else in an area we didn't know. It took a while before we no longer felt like an inconvenience! It would be helpful if late bookings were not offered/ accepted if restaurants don't want to take them even on a Saturday evening close to the Albert Hall. The waiter was helpful but it was a poor meal from the kitchen.

This is my second visit to Crib de Rib and it wasn't disappointing, ordered the Beef short rib with chips and coleslaw and was very tasty, the restaurant was relatively quiet but then it was rather early, still I would still go back again next time there is an offer on!

My starter, the crab, was covered in a thick layer of cream. It had hardly any flavour and I found it a struggle to eat. The ribs were of good quality, but no better than from a gastropub. The wine list was limited. The wine I selected was not available. All the wines were overpriced. £42 for an average bottle of Rioja crianza - I would normally expect to pay around £30 for this at a restaurant of this standard. I shall not return.

Checked online prior to booking as my friend can't eat red meat and it had chicken on the menu so it was fine to book here. On arriving and checking the menu it had no chicken on at all which I found very silly and annoying for my friend. ordered 2 light ale's of the same and then we were told there were only 3 in stock which was very silly to have so little. The crispy squid was chewy and too crispy - felt like a reheat. The bread was ok but felt soggy. The beef was ok but not as I expected. It was quiet dry but had a pot of sauce to use if you wanted more. Tiny amount of coleslaw on the side and we shared some chips which said "Tripple Cooked chips" but looked more like McDonald's chips. We were the only ones dining at the time so our food should of theory been great. Wouldn't like to eat here when it's really busy.

Limited pre-theatre menu is fine, but not when we then discover that nearly a third of the dishes were not available and nor was 1 of 2 house wines...........................felt even sorrier for the quartet who arrived after us..........................as I'd had the last portion of [cold dish] crab at 6.15 pm. Food was good, service adequate initially but improved with a different person. Can't see how they'll survive at this rate unless someone starts MANAGING it. Won't get repeat business from me.

We went with the 50% off food offer, which is actually for everything on the menu aside from drinks. had the beef rib and chilli squid and both were very tasty, they also sell local craft beers - would recommend!

Very average restaurant. Staff quite friendly but food was very average. You should not put descriptions of food that were mis-leading. If you state on the menu that your chips were 'Triple' cooked then please do not supply McDonalds frites. Our daughter is gluten and dairy intolerant but the staff were not sure what to suggest for her. Shame because location is good and premises are quite nice but hey ho you live and learn.
