    Not as bad as some say
    Current
    Some restaurants have a cool 70s retro styling but Wolfe's seems to have the actual fixtures and fittings that it had when it first opened in the 70s. I don't mind that except some of the seat covers looked like they hadn't been changed since then.

    Once you get over that though, you might find that the food is actually quite good. The waitresses were on top of things and I definitely didn't have as bad an experience as some of the other reviewers here.

    Would I rush back? No - there are much better restaurants in London.

    Steak's and Burgers

    A great Steak and Burger restaurant located between Holborn and Covent Garden, Wolfe's Bar Grill is well established and a lovely place to eat. The restaurant/bar has a classy feel to it and the food is reasonably priced for London. The food is good quality and if you like good meat, you will love this place. They used to do Kobe steaks but unfortunately they do not do anymore but they do Kobe burgers still. I would recommend this place for a good steak in a relaxed environment.

    Eating at Wolfe's, you feel a sudden surge of empathy for John Simm's character in 'Life On Mars'. Like Sam Tyler, you appear to be stuck in a strange and confusing world, ripped from vague, unpleasant memories of the tackier side of the seventies.

    The decor is stunning, in the sense that it leaves you feeling slightly dizzy and nauseous; mirrors on every available surface (including the ceiling), gold plating and faux marble where they couldn't fit any mirrors. This is all tastefully set off with a display of rude seaside postcards in the gents toilet. You can imagine Gene Hunt proudly taking someone here, on the grounds that it's "classy " and "a bit posh".

    But, what's wrong with a little chintzy decor if the food and service are high quality? Well, my cheeseburger was a fascinating combination of three entirely different rubbery textures; a sort of foam rubber for the bread, an almost flubber-like consistency in the cheese, and a proper, tractor-tyre vulcanized rubber in the burger itself. One of my companions, meanwhile revelled in chicken that was so undercooked, the outside was still pink, never mind the inside.

    Apart from that, though, there were few complaints. Oh, except for the bit where the waitress threw gravy in my friend's lap. That was well worth the compulsory service charge.

    To sum up: No. Don't.

    Nasty nasty nasty. Horrible decor, ignorant staff who spill gravy over you without apology, food that is served undercooked (and overpriced) and the always-presumptuous compulsory service charge that is always a good indicator of a bad restaurant. We wondered why the place was empty when we dropped in tonight, but left with no illusion as to why. Avoid.
