We've booked a table here last week. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and friendly and pleasant staff. The food was brilliant on a reasonable prices. My friend liked the place so much that she decided to celebrate her birthday there.

Nothing to complain about here. Me and my husband arrived here without a reservation and with some fiddling we were seated. Excellent service and decor. And the food - yummy probably the best lobsters I've ever eaten in my entire life. 5 stars !

Review of St. John Bar & Restaurant from 4 April 2013
We have been here a few times before and always really liked it. Outstanding dishes, not too much pricey at all. As for the service, the waiter had given us helpful suggestions making our decision what to get in the first place, much easier. The menu changes, but we were very satisfied with the presentation and simplicity of the cooking. Probably we will return again.

I like this place because it includes a good interior and atmosphere, delicious meals prepared with a lot of effords, good polite attitude that should be appreciated. I like the roasted beef and the coffee ice-cream, but I can not wait to try the twice baked chocolate caked the next time.

Review of St. John Bar & Restaurant from 8 November 2012
A great place. I went in for lunch in a skeptic state of mind (the menu looks a bit spartan), but I loved every second of it. The place is relaxed and airy, staff and customers are chilled and diverse (I was afraid I was going to be in the middle of an ocean of suits, but it was actually very informal) the food was excellent and the service one of the fastest I´ve seen in expensive restaurants.
We had the marrow bone, bloodcake and ox heart and everything was fautless, tasty and unfussy. I would hapilly eat anything that comes out of that kitchen. Their freshly baked madeleines are sublime, a glorious ending to any meal.
Overall, definitively recommended. It is a bit pricey, but not too much if you bear in mind the location, teh standards and the fact that it is a bit of an institution  (70 quid for two with some beer and wine, and I can think of places where you pay twice as much and you don´t leave as happy as we lwere after our lunch at St Johns).

Before I gave birth, me and my husband would often come to St. John's. Right now we're tied up with the baby but still love the tasty food and the pints of beer. I'm basically not a seafood person, but each time I'm here become a one.
Can't wait to visit it again.

Pretty good place! I gathered my friends there for my birthday party last month. The service was awesome and the interior is great as. The food was served quite slowly but everything else was top notch.

Review of St. John Bar & Restaurant from 23 August 2012
Nose-to-tail eating, just round the corner from Smithfield meat market. This is a no-nonsense restaurant in a former Georgian smokehouse, with whitewashed walls, mismatched chairs and tables, and a seriously carnivorous menu, with top quality English produce. The classic starter to have here is the bone marrow and parsley salad. I've had some very good fish here too, as well as dishes such as roast Middlewhite pork - there are usually only a few dishes to choose from but with the guarantee that they will be made with the best ingredients available, and done extremely well. I remember when St John opened in the mid-90s - offal, which had been considered "poor food" - got reinstated on the menu and there was this new movement against chucking the unwanted parts of the pig (or other animals) away as it was so wasteful. Definitely eat here, if you get the chance.
