London – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Bars – Eating & Drinking – Restaurants – American
A group of us booked this place for my birthday as we wanted to try a new venue. I am not sure what we expected but what we were pleasantly surprised.
As there were six of us and we booked we were given a booth, for a Saturday evening it wasn’t particularly busy but there seemed to be customers in and out all night.
Eagle sells itself as a Bar Diner but to be honest I am not sure I would go there just for a drink – although plenty of people were doing so.
The predominant food stuff is burgers but various meats and styles which separates the Eagle apart from the swarm of gourmet burger places currently flooding London.
We all had various burgers from traditional, Italian, Greek (Lamb) and Hog all of which were lovely. The meat is top quality and the food is cooked exactly as you request.
My friends had cheesy fries and they were not up to par as they were french fries and ultimately not very nice. I had the chunky chips with my main course and they were lovely.
All the courses, the starters (large sharing platters) and American style desserts were lovely and all cooked very well… We left the Eagle Diner very full but happy.
The cocktail menu is rather vast and we all thoroughly enjoyed the cocktails we had ordered including the current cocktail of the week. There is a small selection of wines but the wine and red we ordered was lovely.
I have to give a special mention to the staff who were friendly and very attentive. Poor Oscar (a young waiter who just moved to London from Uruguay/and Gran Canaria) didn’t quite know what hit him when he had to deal with us – as you can see we asked him several personal questions! That said he took it all in his stride and for that he received a generous tip.
Lovely food, big venus, great cocktails and a central location – how can it fail?
