The Mezzanine - Carte

Went to Mezzanine after a production at the National. Food good but the staff are what make this restaurant in my opinion. Attentive and polite service. Had a very enjoyable meal and would definitely return.

This is a perfect place to go after the theatre, but isn't a destination restaurant. The service is friendly, quick and efficient, the views over the river are great just dont expect a top notch gourmet meal.

The Mezzanine is consistently good. The service was attentive, but friendly and informal. The food was good value. I would not travel to the Southbank to eat here, but if attending the theatre, this would make an excellent choice. Voir le carte

Obviously they specialise in pre/post theatre diners and they do it really well. Unlike many pre theatre restaurants, however, they offer a full menu and still pull this off with panache and great service. And that gives you the clue to their success very pleasant people providing good service backed up by some really good food. Fine dining? Not quite, but very good nonetheless. Hard to think of anywhere better when going to The National.

Dined here on Saturday night. I requested a window table when I booked, and got a window table (shame that we are always amazed when things go to plan! . The staff were all very friendly and efficient and the food was of a high standard, however I would say that the portions are on the small side. The homemade breads were served warm and were delicious walnut bread, organic white, wholemeal etc. Good wine selection too. I would dine here again.

One of several visits to Mezzanine. Lunch time Sunday for matinee of Othello which is a sell out. Restaurant very busy and we were told they had been ' 'taken by surprise by the number if non-prebooked walk ups. So surprised the bread ran out! Very slow service with table staff frustrated by the slowness of the kitchen which had stopped at one point we were told. It 's OK if you have an early booking (ours was 12 noon) and the show doesn 't start till 2pm but frustrating for customers as well as staff. Food was pleasant but not memorable. Voir le carte

This restaurant located inside the National Theatre enjoys a pole position for those wanting an extremely convenient place to eat either at pre or post productions at the theatre. The room itself is pleasant enough with some tables enjoying views across the Thames. Unfortunately despite the menu looking ok what appears on the table is bland and pretty tasteless. The service while friendly enough is totally amateurish. Think 6th formers on a work placement. Willing but somewhat clueless. This is a totally lost opportunity as they have hundreds of potential diners from those attending a play. We are regular patrons of the National but having dined here once we can't imagine wanting to do so ag...

This restaurant is in The National Theatre building. It has a bright, lively ambiance. We 've been there many times before seeing a play and it 's very convenient.Last night marked a change of experience. The fixed price for 2 courses has gone. Everything is now a la carte , replied our server with no further explanation. The bottom line is, the cost is higher.Christine 's starter of kidney salad was not good. She pointed out to the server that some of the kidneys were so under cooked that they were inedible. I 'll tell the chef was the server 's reply, but there was no further feedback, no apology and, most important, no offer to take it off the bill! My starter was a boring smoked salmon d...

We have been dining at the Mezzanine in the National Theatre for many years. It is by far the most convenient dining option for theatre patrons before or after a performance. They are very practiced at meeting curtains for their customers before matinees or evening performances at up to three theatres at once. But the ambience is also sufficiently relaxing for diners after a performance. Given this priority, the food is surprising good and reasonable value. My experience of the steaks is that they are not as good as advertised (Buccleuch Estate), but the menu choice is very good. Just make certain to ask for all sauces on the side because they tend to be very strong and smother the natural t... Voir le carte
