Good food, though limited drink options (very little choice of beer, presumably to boost its wine options).

I have been visiting since 1977 and it has always been excellent. Unfortunately I just missed Debbie last week who is always a delightful host.

Staff and nostalgia make it for me; went there when it first opened and martini lunches were OK, yes I am old....

Joe Allen - Covent Garden is always consistent! A go to place of the theatre community and well run by excellent management and the team. I had the Pate special and Chicken Milanese - both were freshly prepared and promptly served. Well work a visit to this London and New York institution!

We found an amazing theatre lovers treasure trove behind an uninspiring facade due to scaffolding & outside works. Staff welcoming & accommodating to dietary needs. We choose from pre-theatre menu as well as Main. Food presentation good, moderate potions and tasty. Drinks menu offered good selection of cocktails too which were properly made. It’s London prices but great ambiance & set us up in good theatre going mode which is what we did next. A definite place to try out!

We had pre-ordered online two Vegan 3-Course Set Menus for 2 at £30 each. On arrival Joe Allen’s said they did not offer such a set menu so we had to choose from the £33 3-Course menu. Fortunately fish was on the menu (we are pescatarians). No apology was offered. Suggest the online booking service is reviewed and changed if Vegan food is not on offer.

Food was exquisite however the portions were too small and we all left hungry. We had ordered the 3 course set menu. I had soup to start - no bread accompaniment. Main course sea bass - no sides other than the garnish under the fish. It would have been nice if waitress had said that the set meal portions were miniscule and to suggest to order a few sides. I thought the service charge % was too high and should have been set at 10 or 12% maximum. The drinks were really expensive and cost a lot more than our food. There was a lovely ambience with the piano playing, food excellent ... but please Joe Allen Could I have some more ?

We had an excellent evening that started well and got better. I’d requested a corner table which was provided and the service e throughout was top notch. Staff were attentive, helpful and fun. Menu had some interesting dishes, reasonably priced wines. A wonderful evening. We will be back.

Unfortunately, it was absolutely awful, and there was hair in my food the man or the manager just looked at me and I was shocked, so I just said do what do you think is best so with a struggle to change the meal By that time. I lost my appetite. I didn't enjoy at all. The chips were burnt. And then I order some afters. Desert. Which was OK. But I would live in a go there again. Dreadful place only for drinking alcohol. Just a pub, that's all it is.
