  One night while exploring London we ended up walking around SoHo to take pictures and find a nice place for dinner. We looked at a few menu's and thought that the Italian place would be great.
  
  There is a theater right across the street and we were able to get tickets for the next show. That escalated the urgency of making a choice for dinner since now that there was a clock running against us and we have approximately one hour for dinner.
  
  We dashed into Jamie's and were immediately pleased with how quickly we were seated and served drinks. The food was also fairly quick, was steaming hot and looked and smelled great. I had the seafood pasta and Isabel had the pasta with meatballs. All conversation stopped when we each took our first bite. After a full day of touring around London we were tired and hungry, and my delicious seafood pasta had my full attention. This was one of the great meals that we enjoyed while visiting.
  
  Quantity and quality of the meals was excellent. The staff was attentive and quick. The SoHo location is perfect if you have business in the area or are just exploring like us. We absolutely recommend Jamie's if you have the opportunity to enjoy a meal there.

  very disappointed! i have watching Jamie's TV shows for years, when I visited London I decided to dine at one of his restaurants. I made a mistake.
  I ordered:
  -Fried calamari: under seasoned and they didn't let the oils drain very well so there was considerable amount of frying oil on the plate. I don't know if they gave me half portion or not, but there were not enough calamari on the plate.
  -Meat lasagna: the Marinara sauce which comes with Lasagna was under seasoned as well, and there were only three layers on noodle in Lasagna, the taste was OK but remind me of a very chip Lasagna that I bought from a chain grocery store. Size of the portion was not bigger than palm of my hand. For almost 13 pounds I am expecting more Lasagna.
  -Gin and Elderflower tonic: very weak, more tonic water than gin.
  Bottom line I paid more than 30 pounds, but left hungry.
  
  Service was ok, place was clean but very uncharacteristic.
  I think I had high expectations from Jamie Oliver, but he didn't deliver.
  Will I go back? NO.

  Unfortunately I just got diarrhea after dining at Jamie's. Luckily it was not explosive diarrhea. Besides the diarrhea we had to experience this awkward moment between the host and waiter when they were disputing about where to seat us.
  
  I ordered the two course meal. I chose the Fritto Misto for the starter and the Italian Steak and Fries for the main course. The Fritto Misto which consists of light battered fish and squid was very salty. For the main dish the steak was overcooked. The seasoning was well but the meat was not tender at all.
  
  I've been to Jamie's in Reading before and had a much better experience. The food at that location was excellent. It's unfortunate that the quality is not consistent in every location.

  Quick lunch. Reasonable prices for a fixed menu (2 courses). Carbonara is mediocre but the fritto misto (fish and calamari) was amazing! Service is also great and if you're looking for a quick lunch, this is a great place!

  This restaurant isn't worth the price. Food was OK at best. Also, I found a piece of sharp plastic in my steak after it cut my gums, and they didn't seem that concerned. It cost £50 for two steaks that were horrible and one ok pasta.
