The Elysée Party Pictures - Sat. 02/07
Check out some pictures from last Saturday’s parties! Missed it? Join us this week!

Sun is up and shining. Perfect day for a frozen cocktail or a chilled glass of white wine in our roof terrace - our little urban oasis in London's heart.

The atmosphere the food the drink the staff is amazing. I strongly suggest this establishment!

Second visit with friends, food was amazing entertainment was fabulous and staff were so welcoming and helpful. The restaurant has beautiful decor and very comfortable. Great way to spend an evening with special friends, can't wait to return.

Last night of our first (hopefully) of many trips to London! Came with friends and all I can say is that food was as amazing as the entertainment! Really not to be missed when in London!

I was invited to attend a charity event on the first floor and enjoyed the food, drink and company. The staff attended to all our needs. I then returned a few months later for a private meal on the first floor and then joined in the dancing and plate smashing on the ground floor. What an amazing experience. I loved it.

Had my Christmas do there on Saturday just gone. What an amazing night. Great Service. Food was amazing great entertainment. Will definitely go back. Thank You xx

Had my 60th birthday there with my family excellent food and great entertainment. Fantastic night

Decided to sit upstairs. We were offered the roof garden but asked if we could sit inside which was no problem at all.

Chris, our waiter was nothing but charming & so helpful. He recommended a few dips to start with while we decided what to eat. Great idea! I'd heard about the Taramosalata at The Elysee & when I tasted it, I could see why. A little bit of Heaven on a plate.

Chris knew what he was doing. The dishes came & we just were grateful of his choices. Tstaziki was creamy & delicious. The humous with whole chick peas was a great touch & very tasty.

The four of us decided on a meze for starters. We went a bit crazy on choice. Halloumi, crispy calamari, Keftedes, courgette fries. All delicious & we should have stopped there, but why? We were lulled into Chris' excellent recommendations of what to eat & he knew his stuff. He even suggested we just relax & take a while before going onto our main. Good idea we thought. The four of us hadn't seen each other for a while & our evening at The Elysee was going great.

Main proved to be difficult. What to have??? So much choice.

At the end, T bone steak took my eye & I can honestly say, apart from it being the biggest steak I've ever been served, it also was the best.

Eating out isn't all about the food although obviously the main part. Customer service comes into it & I'd say , with our waiter who was excellent & with the spot on menu, we had the most fabulous night in a long time.

If I had to have one small gripe, it'd be this. The night ended far too early.

Elysee......Thank you.

Best Greek place I have ever been in London, nice food and nice entertainment to, the owner it is very nice and polite, staff looking after us... 5***** . Thanks elysee

Being a Greek person in London I felt great when I finally found a place I could feel like home! Exceptional service!!! Food was great!!! And the music made me feel nostalgic of home! A huge "Thank you" to all the staff how made my nights out there unique and fun!

Amazing place food drink dancing live music shisha EVERYTHING!!���

A few weeks ago I had my birthday here, I have to say I had a great time! The food the atmosphere the service the entertainment even the guys at the door, everything was fantastic and it wasnt even that expensive! Thank you so much!

Great music and live music, disappointed with my main order, was completely the wrong order, my friend was eating alone, waited 15 mins for mine. waited 30mins to try and pay our bill, not a very good service would not go back there

Food was good but for that price I could have had a better dinner at a Michelin star restaurant. Very unprofessional staff with no customer care and for sure unaware of their menu.i asked for lamb souvlaki and got lamb suvla. When I asked the waiter if that is what I asked for he said no but I put through the correct order but kitchen send this. Note I was waiting over an hour for my main. Went after downstairs where we sat on a table we ordered a bottle of wine £36 and the bill arrive on £110. They charge £10 per person for the music but there nowhere on the list such a charge or being mentioned when u place your order. We had fun though.

Been here a few times on the weekend days on the roof terrace for drinks - these were always great experiences. Last night, went for dinner with 8 friends. Food was decent (but over-priced), music good and staff friendly until a few groups of "wealthier" guests came in ...



- they were allowed to smoke inside

- it became very difficult to get staff attention

- these groups were allowed to but hundreds of plates to throw on the ground and fragments hit me and my group.

- when we tried to stand outside for air (very hot inside), we were told we had to stand inside the door where all the smokers were standing.



Would recommend for drinks but not for group dinners.

Went on a Thursday night for a family birthday celebration. Was told a la carte menu not possible as on busy nights only set menu available. Was expecting traditional Greek entertainment & an atmosphere. The roof terrace was fine for a drink. The restaurant was empty, no atmosphere at all. It was embarrassing & we pointed out to management we should have been told we were the only booking. Food adequate. Would not recommend.

So we came to celebrate sister’s birthday tonight, the owner decided to aggrevate all males in our group for no reason and purposely got them kicked out while we were having a lovely time... there were no problems until the owner came with his two bodyguards talking down to everybody for no reason. The owner made threats to members of the group for no reason at all and then when I spoke up to tell him that nobody has caused any trouble and that he has come to our group purposely to aggravate , he then replied to me telling me I have big mouth apparently (all I said was nobody has caused trouble-it was another group of males) he then decided to unnecessarily tell me that I should respect him because he is old enough to be my dad????...: I responded with my dad knows you, and my dad will speak to you very soon for your lack of respect for paying customers... will never visit this place again ... PLUS EXTREMELY over priced for basic entertainment � the owner is a big prick typical old rude Cypriot with two bodyguards what a weak man causing trouble for his paying customers

Food was whack only thing nice was kalamari and the lovely singers but that was literally it. We just gave a load of money to man who thinks he is above everybody else while he has two bodyguards next to him what a little man... funny he stepped back when my partner told him who his uncle was! Typical Cypriot man who has made money and thinks he above everybody else! ���

And would also like to mention that owner allowed everyone to smoke inside the premises ... I am asthmatic and my cousin was pregnant too embarrassed to say anything shame on you Disgusting and will be reported to authorities... can I also mention that the waiters were seen taking full plates of food away that were only sitting there for 15 minutes because people on our table were dancing ... ridiculous

Over priced poor service terrible food and cockroaches can clearly be seen which I have a video of.

Our anniversary meal, but on arrival downstairs was not available so we're put up stairs, first problem it was cold, asked for heaters by us to be turned on but told they do not work. Then offered blankets but only two left between four of us, so did not feel comfortable as cold.

Second problem was service was very slow and delivered items we did not ask for.

Third problem we took 30 minutes to get the bill after asking many times and then items on the bill we did not have.

Four problem, we got charged £25 service charge for four people who were cold and had bad service.

So not able to recommend this place.

I think that it is unacceptable that such a good nigh club does not care about the people who are entering the place. Tonight my sister was celebrating her best friend's birthday and because the security did not take care of someone who was drunk she got a huge cut on her leg from one of the plates that was thrown on her! This is unacceptable and unprofessional since no one even took care of her! She went to the bathroom and fainted. Thank god, her friend was there. The security should be more careful and responsible since situations like this happen. In addition to this, waiter should also remind the customers that plates are being broken on the floor and not thrown on people!!

The atmosphere the food the drink the staff is amazing. I strongly suggest this establishment!
