This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.
Stylish moody interiors with dark leather booths and glowing red shades create an urban clubby atmosphere that accommodates plenty of diners but is cleverly zoned to maintain an intimate mood. The busy menu takes its themes from across the globe and can initially seem a bit corporate but it is peppered with lively ingredients, creative flourishes and expert takes on classics – such as a faultless eggs Benedict or a thick goulash soup boasting an authentic beefy stock with vivid tomato highlights and a dollop of sour cream for some rounded smoothness. From the Home Comforts section, pork belly is nicely poached and served with crisp cubes of black pudding and creamy apple mash, while the toad-in-the-hole’s batter balloons over the plate with brightly seasoned pork sausages and colcannon mash. Although the Living Room is part of a chain they have enough independence of spirit to reflect local character and indulge in local sourcing for fish, meat and cheeses. The mix of intelligent service and opulent atmosphere creates a chic buzz that hangs just the right side of inclusive.
- High point: Cool urban buzz…
- Low point: …at a price

As one of The Living Room's piano/vocalists, I have to say it is the nicest place to play in the city. The sound can get turned low for the restaurant or up for the bar, the piano is never broken, the mic works, and being up on a stage means you aren't going to get some geezer trying to sit on your lap! There's always a good buzz, the staff are great, the doorman's a gentleman...defo worth a visit at the weekend. And I hear the food's good too :)

I love The Living Room. I have had a few birthday nights in there and the food is always excellent, it may not be haute cuisine but what they serve is delicious. My sister had a dinner in there for her 30th birthday and the table age ranged from 20 to 84 and everyone had a lovely evening, not many restaurants can do that, plus and excellent Bloody Mary!
