With the announcement of yet another fabulous hot spot in town, my friends and I were delighted to see that despite being part of the Soho House Group this place was not confined to members only.

Minutes after spotting the new opening on Daily Candy, three of my closest friends and I were proudly coveting a dinner reservation. Minus the usual blag to get into Soho House and Shoreditch House, Dean Street Townhouse was calling us.

After eventually locating the conspicuous front door of the four-storey Georgian townhouse, we found ourselves greeted immediately and shown to our seats. Minutes later we were sipping cocktails and pondering over the mouth-watering menu, agreeing to each other that the service so far had been spot-on.

The dining room itself has a fabulous wintry atmosphere, full of first week opening buzz and Thursday night media types starting the weekend wind down. The interior was all hard wood floors, leather Georgian banquette seating and crisp white linen table cloths.

The food did not disappoint, and the Hot Smoked Salmon with Beetroot to start was divine followed by the Chicken Bacon and Leek Pie which was a delectable bargain at £11.50. The Smoked Haddock Soufflé and the Red legged partridge were also raved about. Too full for desserts, the staff were more than happy to leave us relaxing at the table whilst we finished our wine.

Overall Dean Street Townhouse was a great spot to catch-up with friends over great food with attentive staff. Not expensive at all and if you really wanted to push the boat out what better place to crash than in one of the 39 bedrooms on offer.
