Lamberts

We whent here for an impromptune dinner one evening. The menu was inovative and varied so everyone had something to please them. The waiters, suspected owners, were very attentive and pleasent although they did not seem to be as relaxed as you would expect however they were busy so that might explain this, not that this was a negative. Our food was freshly cooked and very tasty if a little on the pricy side. The only disapointment was the potion sizes, which seemed to be quite inconsistent. my wife had lamb which was piled high and i had phesant which was one small breast. Very tasty but disapointingly small. Had they been a bit more generouse with the veg and nocci i probably would not have minded but at 50 ponds a head i felt a little disapointed.

Food is delicious, modern British with a few twists. Had the hanger steak and couldn't have been happier, but everyone else was nothing but complimentary about what was ordered. Drinks wise, I would advise trying out one of the cocktails to start or finish and explore the wine menu in between. They are more than happy to offer recommendations!

Went to Lamberts for the first time last night, for the Game Tasting menu. Not being a foodie by any means was absolutely delighted with the meal and the chosen wines that accompanied the meal. Nice people, great service and lovely food and wine. Thoroughly recommend and hope to go again soon. Than k you to all the staff for a lovely evening.

Finally got around to visiting Lambert’s after living in Balham for a few years. Wasn’t disappointed. We had the (ridiculously) good value Balham Food Festival set menu. £20 for 4 courses (£35 with matching wines). We had one meat and one vegan. Both were good. To start grilled leeks (meat menu) and baked celeriac (vegan menu). The leeks were a bit hard to eat as they were whole. But the flavours were nice. The salt baked celeriac was very tasty with apple. The 2nd course for both was heritage beetroot, pear purée and pickled red onion. This was my stand out dish of the meal. Absolutely delicious. The lamb dish was ok. Only ok because the puy lentils were a bit undercooked. The squash Wellington was also ok but a bit underwhelming. This brought my rating down from 5 to be honest. If I could give 4.5 I would. Both desserts were really nice. My wife found the chocolate pot a bit rich, but I really enjoyed it. The roast plum was also nice. The service was great. It’s a nice, cosy atmosphere and even on Tuesday it was fairly full and vibrant. We will 100% be visiting again.
