Auberge - Waterloo

I booked a table for 6 at this restaurant for a family gathering. We all enjoyed the food, which was bought all together without any one person having to wait longer. The lamb fillet was very nicely cooked, with a generours portion of potato Gratin on the side, however the temperature was too cold. My son enjoyed the Moules and others enjoyed their food too, apart from the king prawn starter which were supposed to be pan fried in garlic and chilli, but had no chilli/garlic flavour to them. This was mentioned to the waitress and she removed them from the bill. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. What sadly spoilt the meal at the end, was when the bill arrived and an extra bottle of wine had been added to the bill. We were only 6 people and 3 people only drank 1 small glass of wine. 1 person left early. A total of 3 bottles of wine were ordered, spaced throughout the meal, however an extra bottle had been written down at the end of the bill, like an after-thought. When we pointed out that we only had 3 bottles, and pointed out that there was only 1 empty bottle on the table, the lady who came over (? Manageress) was not friendly at all and was arguing quite aggressively with my guests, when I returned from the washroom. In the end, she agreed to remove the added bottle, but she seemed to do this grudgingly, as though she thought we were lying. This created a very unpleasant end to the meal and so we would not recommend this restaurant to others. Or if you do eat here, keep a close check on how many bottles you consume and how many are added to your bill at the end.

We had an excellent meal. I especially enjoyed the crab with avocado. The salad was a bit overpriced for the content.

The restaurant is overpriced for what it offers. It is a very loud environment and not as comfortable as advertised. Wine was bad and overpriced as well.

Great service and tasty food.

Waitress spoke little English and when we asked for mayonnaise twice, she eventually came back with 2 portions of chips. Restaurant closes at 11pm but at 9.50pm the waiter asked if we would like anything else as they wanted to close as it was quiet. We ordered coffee and the moment it arrived they turned all the lights on full and said we are closing. We felt intimidated into leaving with undrunk wine and coffee on the table. Food is average and ambience dreary. Would neve go back.

Awful, awful, awful!! I read reviews before I went (TripAdvisor) and there were mixed ones so I presumed it would be fine. BIG mistake. Rib eye was not cooked to order and came blue when medium rare was asked for (why bother asking). And the poorest quality of meat, yes rib eye has fat running through it but nothing was rendered, couldn't even chew through it. Horrible texture. The 'fishcakes' were more like potato croquettes with barely any fish in. And to top it all off the camembert bites were barely melted inside and the recurrent jelly tasted like it had been slapped on from a jar. Abismal effort and would never recommend. Save yourself the pain and disappointment.

Really nice. The restaurant upstairs was quiet so you could chat and hear one another. The portion sizes were huge. The waitress recommended dishes and were very pleasant.

I often stop off at L’Auberge for a bite to eat. The service is consistently excellent and friendly, the food tasty and good value, and they have a good choice of wines, beers and soft drinks. Plus it’s incredibly convenient if you’re travelling via Waterloo station. Recommended.

My daughters and I enjoyed a meal at Auberge on a Monday evening. Unfortunately I wasn’t feeling particularly well so had only a starter and dessert but my daughters both chose rib-eye steak one cooked blue and one rare. Steaks so often arrive over cooked when eating out but the steaks at Auberge were perfectly finished and good quality. Service was quick and priced fair for London. Definitely recommend.

Service was really good at the restaurant. The waitress that served us all evening was friendly and pleasant.
