This is upscale, international dining at its best. Elegant, with top-notch service, and an open kitchen so you can watch the action. Though not officially a vegetarian or vegan restaurant, they were very accommodating and the kitchen produced some of the very best vegan items I have had anywhere. Note: it is always best to alert the restaurant at the time of the booking to any special dietary needs.

We were at a Valentine's Day dinner, unfortunately we were unpleasantly surprised. The Valentine's Day menu was supposed to include the Tartar we were looking forward to, but unfortunately they did not serve it. What's worse the other dishes were of average quality. The duck was very dry and parched. We definitely expected better taste for the money. The only positive thing about the restaurant was the atmosphere and live music.

This was my second time in this restaurant. Me and my friends have been celebrating my upcoming wedding and I decided that this will be a perfect location for an intimate dinner and a few drinks. My first visit last year was phenomenal so I knew exactly what to expect, and I was not disappointed. The food is just amazing! Traditional Polish with a bit of a modern twist to it, my friends who are not Polish and never tried Polish food enjoyed the meal, and to me that says a lot. The staff was very attentive, our glasses were always full. The manager, Bartek (I think ?), was a fantastic host, and we had a very pleasant conversation. Of course, the biggest compliments go to the kitchen, once again I cannot rate this place highly enough. The man playing piano in the background created an amazing atmosphere. I will be definitely back. Thank you and keep up the great work !

The food court has options and we found the best. The set menu lunch was delicious and abundant - and inexpensive. The dishes were fresh an well-cooked. Our waiter served them with some song a nd a hsppy face. Great!

High expectations because of sister restaurant experience. "Sommelier" pretended to speak English but had no clue. When asked what white wine he would recommend his reply was "All our wines". The food was excellent but the service was terrible. Left not tip; first time ever.

Had dinner here with my hosts and cn only say hat I was impressed. The restaurant is part of an upscale food court so plenty of choice if this is not your fancy. Cuisine was more french as was the wine but I liked it. Steak Tartare and Duck, what more could you wish for.

A big disappointment. No taste. Fish with salt taste only. Potatoes in sause was tragedy. Waiter didn't even asked us if everything is ok. I left restaurant being still hungry, as the main course was uneatable. Only salad with mandarins was quite ok. The best part was still water..

Food was delicious enough, but quite ordinary, service is mediocre. Based on pics online, I thought I were going to a premium place, but there was an atmosphere of a walk-through cafe.

Great chef, great food and an awesome management. One of the most balanced food I’ve ever eaten and I mean it absolutely in a positive way.

With some friends we tried this restaurant for the first time, having heard so much about it. Overall, the food was tasty, but the service was so poor, we left before dessert and left no tip. There were many different people tending to our table, but none seemed to have responsibility for us. Some examples of the poor service: - when making the reservation, nobody informed that Friday’s are live jazz night, and our goal was to have a place to talk, so I asked for a table as far away from the music as possible. It took a few requests before they agreed and made up a table for us at the front of the restaurant. The table itself was two tables together and the design was awkward and not comfortable for our party of three. - when ordering wine, we said we are interested in savignon blanc but would like to see the wine list. A man who seemed to be the sommelier came to our table with a bottle already in hand, opened it and was ready to pour when we said we never saw the wine list. He brought it and after a while we realized he did not understand what we were saying in English. So, we just took the bottle he had brought, but it was not properly cold, so it had to sit in ice for a while and we could not have a drink immediately as we wanted. - later we had to constantly ask for refills of our glasses because nobody was paying attention - the waiter who poured the soup seemed to be handling a ladle for the first time in his life and was very unskilled - we were never offered bread - they forgot to bring water as we had requested - a different waiter poured water from behind my back - very awkward - a general absence of wait staff and inattentiveness The meals were tasty but so overshadowed by the poor service that we vowed to never go back. Finally, the clientelle leaves alot to be desired. A man close to us was clearly a regular there, known by the staff and some other guests at other nearby tables. He was coughing alot and not covering his mouth and then incessantly blowing his nose while standing up very close to our table. A poor experience overall. Too bad.

We were looking forward to our visit to this highly rated restaurant. Our daughter had recently eaten at one of Gessler's other restaurants snd had a fantastic meal. On arrival we were offered a choice of tables, we chose a table by the open kitchen being keen amature cooks ourselves. We noted the extremely laid back atmosphere in the kitchen, but while unusual at that point we were not particularly concerned. Drinks were ordered and arrived promptly with water for the table. Followed promptly by a fantastic bread basket which raised our expectations greatly. This is the point that we began to notice the 'stress' under which our waiter was working.......bread basket demolished, glasses empty, no food.....my husband proceeded to retrieve our own wine from the ice bucket, which brought our waiter scurrying to our table. The restaurant appear to be trying to provide a silver service experience....but it falls short on many levels. There are not enough staff to provide that level of service and perhaps if it was not expected we would not have been disappointed! The starters finally arrived and were good. The beef tartare was okay...minced, not chopped as good beef tartare should be and the bread: meat ratio was off, but tasty. The veal cheeks were very good and the trout tartare was flavourful, although I thought it was a little salty. We had high hopes for our main course, but we couldn't have been more disappointed. There were problems with every dish. While my husband's steak was delicious, although more rare than the medium rare ordered (not a problem to us), his jus had obviously "caught" in the pan and had a burnt taste. My duck had a lovely crispy skin, but was overcooked. The balance of the dish was terrible....sweet duck meat with sweet apples and an over reduced sauce that you could have eaten with ice cream. Fortunately is was so reduced that it was impossible to pour out of the jug so I was prevented from completely ruining my meal with it! The mashed potato had an alarmingly "grey" appearance, screaming of peeled potatoes left to the air! The chicken supreme was okay, but very overseasoned even for my Mother who likes her food on tbe salty side. The fries looked fantastic, but were disappointingly soggy and limp. Finally, the worst dish was the pumpkin kopytka with cheese. It was frankly inedible. The kopytka was over worked and overcooked. Tough, rubbery with an unappealing colour, you could have bounced it off the floor. The sauce with the cheese was strangely sweet, flavoured with large pieces of mint....just vile. We all tried the dish and agreed that it tasted terrible. We refused to pay for that dish as it was impossible to eat. We made our waiter aware of our issues and he was very apologetic. We noticed that the waiting staff were becoming increasingly frustrated with the kitchen and words were exchanged, discreetly but obvious to us sitting right by the pass. We began to feel that the attitude in the kitchen was apathy rather than a laid back atmosphere. We gave the kitchen a last chance to impress with dessert. A pretty poor selection....no dessert menu or time to decide....we went for blueberry cheesecake and the chocolate cake that us supposed to be a Gessler signature dish. While nice, we had better cheesecake in Cafe Nero and the chocolate cake was actually a torte, but pleasant with a nice crunch.....not particularly impressive as a signature dish for a supposedly talented chef though. Not a cheap meal either. We could have spent much less and eaten far better. Our daughter left hungry!! Our overall opinion was that it is overrated and trading on a "name" and the reputation that comes with it. They need to raise their game significantly to meet the expectations created by the marketing!

After a wonderful lunch at Warszawa Wschdonia (sister restaurant), I decide to try this one for dinner. This was very disappointing. the room is large and impersonal (probably not helped by the fact is was very empty when we went). Food was average and a couple of dishes were bordering on 'not good' (there is such too much beetroot thrown into every dishes! and i do like beetroot!). Service was ok, but we had to wait quite a bit again considering there was hardly anybody, it's a bit poor. Would not go back. Do the trek across town to the soho factory quarter and eat in their sister restaurant.
