please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Just re-opened 4 days ago as The Oak after plenty of business failures at this site. On first impressions has lots of positives - until you meet the staff.
If you don't tell 'Tommy' that you want to sit down (no communication tells you this) you will be thrown off your table whilst preference is given to people he prefers. Happy to take your money, whilst having no standard beer on tap (run out already) then offer the rudest service. Will not return. Gets rating only for the appearance of the Pizzas but would get 0 for attitude.

Went in recently and the bar staff ignored our party for 15mins and served people who arrived after us first. This was on a Tuesday night. Disgraceful. Ridiculously expensive drinks, full of people wearing YSL shirts. If you are a sloane it is the best place in the area for you, for everyone else, head to the Eagle on Askew Road

Nor for that matter is there food before 7pm. Investigated the chippie. Nowhere to sit. Went to the Fried Chicken shop over the road instead.
|
No real ales on view from the street. The horrible, highly priced menu was so unappealing that I bought fish and chips over the road, and went elsewhere for a drink.

A wonderful venue, especially on sunday nights when the ever-excellent Triosofi play chilled jazz and latin. C u there!

Went last night for my birthday and had a brilliant time. We are locals and go to the Seven Stars fairly regularly and love the relaxing atmosphere and decor. Like any place it has had it's ups and downs but overall we have always been very impressed (with the food) and the last few suppers we have had there have been excellent. Last night the service was a little slow as a result of only having 2 staff split between bar and restaurant so I ( ex-waitress - very hard to please!) started to twitch a little but the food was fabulous and more than made up for any holes in the service. The service itself also improved a great deal as the evening went on after a 20 minute period of invisibility at the start waiting for the menu etc. I had a melt in the mouth starter of potted shrimp and trout and my husband's chili squid starter was also fantastic and it's different flavours perfectly balanced. We then both had perfectly cooked rare rib eye steaks which were tender and delicious (much better than any steak I have had in the same price bracket recently and we eat steak A LOT!!)complimented by possibly the best chips in the world and the peppercorn sauce was sublime andnot at all over-powering. The 1st 2 courses were so good that even though we weren't that hungry we felt we would miss out unless we ordered puddings and again we were not disappointed - one chocolate nemesis (very aptly named!) and apple pie and custard later we waddled off home very full, my diet in tatters, but very content! I really can't understand why this pub isn't busier? We will definitely be going back and suggest you try it as well. Perhaps if more people go they will be able to increase the numbers/quality/training of serving staff since this seems to be it's only downside.

A greta pub. Decor wood and leather. Food simple, very nice because so fresh! Beers, wine and cocktails very decently priced. Nibbles OK. Olives: could do better. A misture of table with confortable chairs and large learther sofas. A cine-club is starting soon. I still have to try the Sunday roast served all day..Will let you know. And there are long wooden tables outside, under a large canopy so I could even sit outside on Friday night (just for a drink though! Diner was inside).

This pub has gone down hill recently. The food and menu is no longer any good, and the atmosphere has died.

New chef started and the food is a winner now, how this place has changed in a month.
