    Lovely lunch for 9 gym friends - pre-ordered food as a large booking. Wait staff delivered everything perfectly correctly to the correct person - calling names etc. all the ladies loved their choices and were very complimentary. Can be difficult choosing a restaurant for a large group with varying tastes and ages. But everyone loved our lunch!

    Been visiting St Albans Lussmans for lunch with friends for many years and never been disappointed. At this time of year November the restaurant is warm and cosy and no matter how many or few there are dining the atmosphere is very good. Also a shout out for the quality and cleanliness of the rest rooms. Always a good indicator of a restaurant that cares about the details.

    The Cornish sole was extra special and a bargain as part of a £23.00 two-course deal which we twinned with spotted dick and creme anglaise. Very friendly service and happy atmosphere shared with regular customers (we were on a train excursion from London .. well worth the trip for the lunch alone)

    First time visiting Lussman’s and can’t praise it highly enough. We had a gift voucher and had the roast on the Sunday menu. Service and food were both excellent and we’ll be back!

    Another delightful evening at Lussmans . The staff and food were excellent. Great atmosphere. We were entertained by the pianist/singer Kate which was an added bonus to the evening as we were not expecting being entertained with live music, absolutely great. Will be back again soon. Thanks Lussmans

    Excellent Autumn Menu. Magical White Onion Soup followed by reliable MSC Fishcake & poached egg. Sensibly priced New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc correctly chilled. Pleasant locals on a Saturday evening as fellow diners. Comfortable noise levels. Excellent service from knowledgeable Katie our waitress. Lussmanns is still the best dining option in competitive St Albans !
