  cozy dining in trendy setting

  Current

  I have had luncheon and dinner here now several times<br />and have always enjoyed the experience. The menu is broad-ranging and somewhat eclectic. I had an excellent salad and<br />a macaroni cheese - my host opted for fishcakes. The service is always courteous but can be a bit slow. Yesterday, I was offered a pasta dish off the menu when<br />the maitre d thought erroneously that I was a vegetarian.<br />It is very cosy being located underground below London's Strand and perhaps a better winter location.<br />The clientele seems to be mainly young professionals.

  I've been a member of Adam Street for several years now; as a freelancer, it's incredibly useful as a convivial place to drop in for a drink, a chat or check email. Not much to add to the other reviews here; except to say: If you come here, put your bloody mobile phone away. They're banned under the club rules and I've now heard enough Nathan Barleys braying about imbecilic hipster crap to last me a lifetime, thanks.

  cool and exclusive

  Current

  There is not much to be added to RobCarter's extensive review. I agree with what he says. This is a truly private member's club. You cannot find it if you don't know about it. From outside, it looks like the entrance to a flat. I was lucky to be invite a couple of times by my cousin who is a member and I have to confirm that the place is great.
  I plead guilty to DJing a very very cheesy French fancy-dress party some years back in the room downstairs. The shear memories make me cringe.
  
  As Rob says, if you get the chance, go. The people are beautiful, the staff are gorgeous and friendly, the atmosphere is relaxing and unpretentious. The drinks are a tad expensive but the portions are generous.

  Nice place to know

  Current

  Adam Street is a subterranean private members' club within spitting distance of the Savoy; 3 minutes walk from Embankment Tube/Charing Cross station.
  
  It consists of a bar, a restaurant (with separate private dining facilities), an art gallery and a mini theatre right at the bottom which doubles as a (ever so slightly cheesy) nightclub/dance-pit for private parties and Friday (busy) and Saturday (dead) nights. The staff are all gorgeous and polite the drinks are spot on (a touch pricey - but come on folks check the postcode!), the wine list's extensive, the food sort of gastro school dinners (butter based and great - soups and fish and meat a speciality) and still 2 courses for 10 (this was a 'special' run in January and still going in September...).
  
  Membership is targetted at the freelancer or entrepreneur who needs a base in London as such the membership is quite cool. However there have been more and more pompous suit creeping in recently and Abi sodding Titmus was there recently - damn her. I don't go to China Whites so she shouldn't come down my club. You've been warned Titmus! That goes for you Theakston, and you Halliwell!
  
  As a member you have free use of the library for quiet work (internet access etc) and the leather sofa-ed bar is great for businesscas' meetings. A great combo for work/pleasure and good value.
  
  The theatre also hosts loads of things like comedy nights (free to members - inaccessible to non-members) Reginald D Hunter trialled some new material here (check him out if you ever get the chance - he holds an audience spell-bound)
  
  Find someone who is a member and get down there. But don't you dare bring any former member of Take That and if I even sniff a Big Brother contestant I will not be responsible for my actions.
