  • I've headed down to Covent Garden today to dine in Jamie Oliver's new restaurant called Jamie Oliver Catherine Street... won't win many awards for originality but I haven't tried any of Jamie's restaurants yet so I'm interested in giving this one a go!

      @@GaryEats I would never patronise Oliver, he's a pretend chef, a biy like Ainsley, besides he owes millions to creditors both here and in Oz when businesses went bust. His Jamie's Italian in Cheltenham was truly appaling. PS, if a restaurant can't produce a properly cooked steak and a few greens then there's no hope.

    Within the industry Jamie was just a celebrity cook that was made big on TV. Many years ago I trained under a chef that made his own mark. He once told me, don't chase accolades and fame, just cook with passion. He said you could have all the AA rosettes and Michellin stars, but if your restaurant is empty everyday it means nothing in the end! It stuck with me. I was working at a small B&B in the New Forest called Gordelton Mill, and my chef was Jean Christoph Novelli. I just hope and pray that Jamie Oliver has the same humility now. It's a great review Gary, let's hope Jamie is not distracted by Sainsbury's ads or children's school meals, and a little more present and focused this time on his restaurant.

    Another great review. Sadly, I won’t visit this establishment simply because of the way Jamie Oliver left his suppliers and staff high and dry when his empire collapsed. He should have been made to pay what he owed before being allowed to start up another business. Just morally wrong in my humble opinion. x

    I went with my partner to a Jamie Oliver restaurant in Newcastle a few years ago (it's been a couple of different things since), and the experience was mediocre at best, particularly relative to the amount we paid.
    It's good to see that this restaurant at least appears to buck the trend, so maybe we'll see some more pop back up!

    Jamie Olive's in Perth when it opened, was a queue around the block venue, Initially. Then all the comments came out how jammed in the venue was and how you paid top dollar for sub-par spag bog. People are not stupid, and everyone knows pasta is the cheapest food you can make. Perth is the richest city in Australia and we will give it a go, but if it's bullshit we walk away very quickly.

    Hi Gary, I remember visiting a Jamie Oliver restaurant back in 2015, in central London. I'm sure it has long closed now & was part of his old chain. It was a very average meal for well over £200 for two of us. I've never thought much of Jamie Oliver to be honest & I know he had scandals around not paying suppliers & staff, but most importantly, this is a "Gary Eats" review & my favourite CZcams channel, so let's give it a go! ☺️
    Your son did lovely shots there at the start of the video & the restaurant is beautiful. The food looked pretty good, simple presentation but nicely done. I know it can be difficult to film when you're sitting inside & a restaurant is getting busier, but you did a great job & you're careful not to interrupt other people, which is very much to you & the camera man's credit. Excellent quality review & you gave a fantastic description for each of the dishes. A score of 8.5 seemed bang on, based on what you said & how the meal looked on screen. Take care Gary & look forward to the next one. 💙

    First rate review, which would certainly encourage me to go and try it. The commentaries from some are worrying, not least because firstly, it isn't possible to verify the accuracy of some, and secondly, because the clear animosities are common currency in celebrity circles, but all you can do - and I'd say SHOULD do - is review your own personal experience and be the judge of that. These staff, here today, are the ones who cooked and served you, and they're the ones who deserve the positive review.

I like Jamie, he has a social conscience, and he works incredibly hard. I doubt he was anywhere near the kitchen, but he will be trying to ensure standards are kept. He doesn't do tasting menus or fancy stuff, but he has a fantastic pallet and understanding of flavours. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Let's hope he doesn't try to do a big chain of these because that's when it really gets hard to control and keep up standards. Good review though, thanks

    Hi Gary, good review nothing wrong with simple food cooked well in a lovely restaurant. I was a fan of Jamies when he first started and I went to his restaurant in the gentlemans club early 90s, really enjoyed. We had Jamies Italian here in Sydney and it started off being a good reliable place to eat before it went down hill. Bit like so many on the comments so disappointed that when he closed he left so many staff and suppliers out of pocket, whilst he still has his mansions. It stinks Jamie, its about having integrity and pulling the pin before it gets to that stage. As we say it wouldn't pass the pub test.Good review Gary and love your consideration for fellow diners.

    It's funny to me because here in Spain that starter (Ham off the bone, crispy olive drizzled tostado and some olives) would be a 2 Euro tapas plate at any farmers cafe bar.
    Also, IMHO, steak should be naked...no sauce for me

      I agree. People wouldn't pay much more. And quality is excellent. I love the lightness and variety. Though eating out is a rare treat for now. However, I thought this gentleman reviewed very impressively. Gave detail exactly as people want to see/ hear. And very nice man ,imo. I'd watch more videos for sure. Discretion is key..if I walk into a restaurant or any shop and see cameras,I do a U turn! Maybe blur out other customers faces, or sneak into a private corner!!! :-)
      Very good quality review, lovely manner and knowledgeable. ( oh and steak ,my sauce preference is simple garlic herb non salted butter) Best wishes

    Always the considerate Gentleman. I was shocked ... the food was great ... I thought it would be a bit rubbish. The restaurant was stunning. The service top class. All in all, for where you were, not a bad price either.

    I love that you give the staff a mention on your reviews, and even add a name where you’ve gotten good individual attention from a server, so many forget these places and their lovely fare don’t happen without good staff. Another excellent review

      Thank you very much, Martin. I think it’s right to recognise when services is really good.

    Gary, your review of Jamie's restaurant was very good, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Was especially pleased to see the high all-round quality of this restaurant as Jamie is one of my favourite celebrity chefs. Kudos Jamie and greetings from Australia. Thank you Gary and look forward to your next review.

    Gary, another lovely review and good to see that celebrity-owned restaurants can sometimes surprise on the good side. I've not eaten for two days owing to a self-inflicted foot injury whilst in London, so I may now try and hobble to my kitchen and cobble something together to eat! 😋

      I am so sorry to hear that. Nothing too serious. I hope you take care and be careful.
