"No doubt about it the food is first rate. Expertly cooked and well seasoned. The service is not what one would expect at a restaurant of this level (e.g. having to ask for wine list or water refill). Retaining qualified staff is challenging but the top restaurants manage that. Glass all around and close tables make for a loud and crowded environment but ambiance is clearly not a priority. If you only go for the food and not the experience it’s fine."

"My third time in the morning. I stole my friend with me, as I told him, it's the best restaurant in London and it wasn't disappointed. Parmesan fritters were exceptional as usual, and the kitchen shared our sausage Ragu Pasta (which should die for), in two pots when we said we share everything. Friend asked if we could come monthly from now on to enjoy the changing menus! Best meal we ever had. Thank you very much! X"

"This restaurant is my absolute favorite. I have dined here more than 5 times and have never had a negative experience. The flavors left my taste buds thrilled and the cozy atmosphere and outstanding service made for a truly unforgettable dining experience. Plus, there was even belly dancing to enjoy!"

"I would have rated this restaurant with five stars if it weren't for the inconsistent service. Initially welcoming and efficient, the service lagged significantly once the restaurant filled up, suggesting they were understaffed. A particularly disappointing moment occurred when we requested an egg that was part of the set menu. While the waiter was accommodating and assured us it wouldn't be an issue, he later returned after consulting with the manager, who denied our request, stating that we could only have it if we ordered the set menu. I found this puzzling, as we were willing to pay for the dessert. Overall, this wasn’t a major issue, but I expected better customer service and a more hospitable approach. Additionally, I ordered a tea that they forgot about, yet it still appeared on our bill, so it's advisable to double-check the bill before settling."

"Omnino meaning all together in Latin serves quality Argentinian meats on a fairly nondescript basement space. Unlike an Argentinian steakhouse that is full of life and charisma, Omnino Steakhouse service, ambience and interior is dull. It is as if the joy of being in an Argentinan steakhouse was removed and replaced with a degree of uprightness. With that said the meat cuts including fillet, sirloin, picaÑa, rump and ribeye cuts are superb. The three cuts ordered for the table were perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. In terms of the sides, the black truffle gnocchi is rich and full of flavour. Highly recommended. The dessert menu is traditional including the usual suspects including dulce de leche cheesecake and Don Pedro, with the alfajores unfortunately not being available. Price wise a cut of meat will start you at £18.95 for an Argentine 250g Rump and top you at £49.00 for the ribeye foie gras. The sides come in at an average of £5.00. The wine list is strong, offering a variety of high quality Argentinian and Chilean options. Omnino is doing everything right in the kitchen. The front of house and ambience is uninspiring and dull. Something to work on and improve, in order to deliver on the promise of all together ."
