This is one of the first restaurants I ever went to in London, so I do think of it fondly and my views on it are possibly softened by nostalgia.
Tootsies is your typical American type eatery - (VERY good) burgers, grills, salads etc. And that is the main problem.

Tootsies is not distinct enough and is not head and shoulders above others in an area highly populated by some very good restaurants in either the qualty, standard or variety of food or service. It has no USP. Personally I have always found the quality of the food is very very good, but it simply isn't worth a journey to go there too often.

I would put this down to the at times patchy service - if you go at the wrong time on the wrong day the service can be next to non-existent and you run the risk of having your expereince tarnished.

I have always found the atmosphere lively and friendly, although afternoons have been known to be a little flat. It has a nice open front and has a good location on Chiswick High Road.

Prices are average (maybe even marginally too high) for what you get - a typical starter, main and dessert will set you back around £20-£25 and drinks aren't the cheapest either.
