Lussmanns Brasserie

We had celebrated a belated valentine here with perfect choice. Wednesday have Jazz with piano was very relaxing. Food was very fresh and quality. If you are fish people very recommend,fish very fresh. Really impressed. Staff was very nice and friendly. Everything smooth as expected and very happy in the romantic time.

Lussmans Hitchin was fantastic! I attended with a large party of 8 for a celebration; from the reservations team (via email) to the waitresses and waiters, I could not fault the excellent service. They were particularly attentive which was especially impressive given we were a large party, also notably friendly and welcoming. The food was lovely - not overly fancy, just real, hearty, good food. So tasty and a great variety of options! 10/10 experience for both food and service!

Really pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! Chicken schnitzel was really juicy - all the plates were good. It is like going back in time in terms of decor and service, in a good way! The only criticism is that it was super quiet which does affect the ambience but otherwise will be happy to go back.

Mid week summer lunchtime. Great summer menu, had the gazpacho - tasty & well done- friends had fish , another had the steak. All presented well- the food I mean- friends ok! Good selection of alcoholic & non alcoholic drinks. Very friendly service. Over all a good experience -again.

Attended a friends get together lunch here in a private area downstairs. Lovely food, very reasonable price considering how long we stayed. Service from very helpful and friendly staff adequate and not over attentive. Lovely and cool on a very hot day, Could have stayed all day!

I found the venue to be very aesthetically pleasing. It had a very modern yet warm surroundings and atmosphere. The food itself was particularly well presented and tasted very fresh. I would say elements of the dishes were slightly under seasoned for my palette; or missing a little something to accompany the meals to take them to another level. Nevertheless, a really great meal and no genuine complaints. Service on a weeknight evening was excellent and I found the staff to be attentive and knowledgeable. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant and see myself returning in the near future.

It took a little while for us and the couple in front to be acknowledged and subsequently seated but the staff were then friendly and efficient. We appreciated being given water straight away and our drink orders were taken promptly. The wine we chose was very good and the kipper pate starter was great. For our mains we chose the Featherblade of Beef and the Hake with side orders of vegetables. Both were delicious & couldn’t be faulted. For dessert we opted for the carpaccio of pineapple and the apple crumble. The crumble was particularly amazing. The attentive service died off at this stage and we struggled to find someone to take our Baileys coffee order. When the coffees arrived they were barely tepid in temperature, so not great at all. Just about drinkable. We would have requested hotter ones but couldn’t be bothered to try to find someone to assist at that point. Finally it took another while to be able to request the bill, which took the shine off the evening a little. If it hadn’t been for the drop off in service and tepid coffees it would have been outstanding.

I've loved coming to Lussmanns over the years, so as one of the restaurants in St Albans with private rooms, decided to book our post-wedding meal here. We had the upstairs room for 17 guests, and with the party menu it was very good value. The food was beautiful and there were options for everyone. The team were also very helpful in letting us drop off table decorations the day before, and laying them out for us in advance. Everyone was very friendly and attentive - I'd definitely recommend Lussmanns for an event or meal any time.
