One of the best Thai restaurants in LondonI love this place. It's modern Thai food at its best - fresh, imaginative and absolutely delicious. It's an intimate restaurant which is just overflowing with charm - not least from the owner Saihpin who is a sweetheart. I highly recommend the lamb satay starter - yum!

My new favourite bar in LondonI first went when there was a show called Tropicana here. We went through a little door in the wall of the tube station only to find ourselves in what looked like a London Transport staff room complete with Tube staff reading The Sun. From then on, the evening just got stranger and stranger as we were led into the vaults.

Anyway, that was the show and now there's the bar. I guess it's run by the same team who put on Tropicana because it's got the same quirky feel to it with quite a lot of the theatre too.

If you're looking for something fun and different then you won't find much better than this. Great space, great place.

Not as bad as some saySome 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.

Seriously good steaksThe waiters come over with raw steaks and describe them to you so you can choose the cut you want. Great place for meat lovers.

Great bar/restaurantThis is one of my locals and probably the best bar near Pimlico. It's nice and big so it hardly ever feels too crowded. It also serves pretty good food and the pork belly is the best I've ever had. Pimlico would be a lot worse off without it!
