"28º-50º is part of a new trend of nouveau wine bars – Terroirs, the newcomer Bar Battu – that have given the old fusty, dusty-bottle-draped fossils a boot up the vintages." READ REVIEW

"The look is stripped brick and dark green paint, the default tones these days, and the subterraneanness will be comforting in winter. But on a summer evening it felt a bit sad to be out of the light and the warmth, in this cavern rumbling with air-conditioning." READ REVIEW

"Head chef Paul Walsh spent five years as sous chef at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay and, though the brasserie-style menu and simple presentation may not show it the flavours speak for themselves." READ REVIEW

"The food menu is just as enthusiastically prepared as the wine list, with ingredients of high quality, served at City prices in portion sizes which are not especially generous." READ REVIEW

"Despite my misgivings about the food, most of which I understand now - although I still don't know why a good chef is here to put stuff on toast - I had a good time at 28-50: comfortable room, pleasant efficient staff, enjoyable wines." READ REVIEW

"We moved on to two mains so pleasing you almost didn't notice them go down your gullet at a hundred miles an hour, but after they were gone you mourned them." READ REVIEW
