Latest critic review: April 15, 2010
The Hix brand comes to Soho...
Mark Hix opens his second solo venture in London in the heart of Soho. Besides the ground-floor restaurant there's also a basement bar. Heading up the kitchen is Kevin Gratton - former head chef at Caprice Holdings. Expect a starry clientele.

"Hix Soho at lunch caters to the needs of men not into fancy food, those who want to simply eat and relax. " READ REVIEW

"The sourcing of all Hix’s ingredients is exemplary. The preparation is a little careless, a touch smilingly amateur. Personally, I can live with that." READ REVIEW

"(Hix) wants everybody to have great food and a spanking night out, regardless of whether he knows them or not. And most of the time he succeeds." READ REVIEW

"I'm stuffed. But I also love the Chop House's mutton, ale and oyster pie with golden light pastry. So just for you, I order the new steak version. You will be mighty relieved to learn it does not disappoint." READ REVIEW

"It felt like a private club, but for now at least, it’s public. If you’ve been wondering where Cool Britannia went, it’s moved to Soho" READ REVIEW

"The pie, with its oyster served separately riding in its shell, was diminutive but praised for its flavour. The hanger steak, usually such a ribald cut, was a bit dull." READ REVIEW

"Mark Hix’s very central new restaurant – on the former Soho site of Aaya (RIP), two minutes from Piccadilly Circus – offers his trademark English food, produced to a very high quality" READ REVIEW
We could not have chosen a better venue for our post Grease the Musical supper. The venue is a few seconds walk away and on a chilly Saturday afternoon the Hix bloody Mary for me and the apple and pineapple cocktail for an excited 7 year old girl were just perfect.
5 of us had the early supper, the 2 men blushed like girls when the man himself came over for a chat as we sat down for dinner. The child was a bit scared of the menu and ended up having salami and chips which was just right. The adults amongst us opted for food we could not cook at home - I am now a big fan of cod's tongue (which is just like monkfish), and veal breast. The food was excellent; seasonal comforting and just the ticket for an autumnal day. Damson cheesecake really is as good as it sounds.
The downstairs bar is fantastic and I will certainly going back there just to break up the Christmas shopping.
- Expensive
