RSVP is one of those standout restaurants in Lagos.. the experience much like SLoW is hard to beat. Menu is very creative and you can tell there is some passion behind it. The restaurant has a very authentic classic style indoor and combines that with a super cool outdoor pool area that gets really busy on weekends. If you could only go to one restaurant in Lagos, this is probably it.

Although I didnt spend much time here, it was worth it.The meals looked and tasted delicious.This place is well suited for an evening hang out as the pool behind gives a lovely view.They have out door fans to cool you.The wait for our meals was short as the place wasnt crowded.Worth every second of your time.The waiters are nice, attentive and neat.

The service was top notch. Beautiful ambience. The food was quite pricey and very small though it was filling oddly.Their vegan option is not truly vegan. You have to totally spell everything out for them.Great dining experience in all.

The food is good plus the staff are nice and ready to serve. I had the Chicken roast with plantain and a virgin strawberry. Enjoyed every bit of it.

Very disappointed. This was supposed to be the highlight of my dining experience during my visit. My husbands food came but not mine because the waiter forgot. I had to wait an additional 30 minutes. My husband shared his with me because I was so hungry. By the time it arrived I was too annoyed to eat it. They did offer us a free dessert which was delicious and why I was generous with the two stars. The food was just ok. Not at all what I expected. Very disappointed.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Lagos, the waiters know their onion, and they can easily help you make a proper meal choice. Their food and drinks are amazing, the ambiance is top notch.But be ready to spend.

Best place Ive visited in Lagos so far. Excellent service, their manager is very hands-on and makes sure everything is organised. I ordered their Dirty Burger and it was absolutely delicious! Hands down the best burger Ive had in a long time. Loved their ambiance, the DJ was on point. This place is highly recommended!

The ambience is great. Not your typical restaurant. The place was lit to give a cozy homely vibe. The type of place you go with your partner or someone special.The food was great too, the portions are large and well served. The food tastes great as well so it’s quite great return on your money.The flaw is the drinks. The drinks are not well mixed and they don’t taste well. Some are so bland that they taste like water.Overall it’s a great restaurant to go for 2-4 people. Not loud and well hidden. RSVP indeed.

It’s a really pretty and cozy space. The ambience is really nice also.The waitstaff were incredibly helpful and polite, I really enjoyed them.The food was delicious and my cocktail was so good. They only had crisp wine though, in case you like sweet wineThe wait time for the food wasn’t too long, I don’t remember how long but I know it wasn’t such a long time.All in all 8/10

Ambience was good, loved the starters and the cocktail I had, it was an African twist thing with lime and ginger, a little too much ginger to be honest.The food was great, had some pasta but the chicken was a wee bit bland.Good dining experience, amazing waiters.4 stars, would have been 5 if the chicken was better.

Top restaurant in Lagos. For the services provide as an upscale restaurant, they are relatively affordable. It was a great experience for me. Loved it

The meal was decent. The salmon laid on that bed of greens was a beauty to behold; the sauce though, didn’t knock me off my seat. Loved the mushrooms; soo juicy, best mushroom I’ve had in Lagos.

The ambiance is cool and the waiters were attentive yet non-intrusive. The flavours were mostly good and when I complained of the bland tasting chicken, the staff were apologetic and I got desert on the house.

Review №18

The experience was generally okay. The waiters were very cordial and receptive. Had to sit outside which was not very comfortable for me personally but since I had not made a reservation and they told me they were fully booked there was nothing I could do. So if youre going there on the weekend, maybe give them a call to reserve a table inside.

It has a excellent location. If youre struggling at your business and need to pitch your business to people of affluence, you could strike a gold if you visit here often. The food quality for me is average. In terms of cost, for the location its also not so expensive. You could have a great time with NGN 40,000.However, the interior decoration is below par, considering the location, cost and category of people who visit the restaurant. Overall, its not a bad place not sure I will visit again tho.

The reception was very good. The manager showed me around because I couldnt decide where to sit. I was given a free palate cleansing shot which was really refreshing and food was great. I had the dirty burger- easily the best Ive had in Lagos. My friend is from Switzerland and he couldnt stop gushing about the gnocchioThe environment was really relaxing as well and the fans outside is a great addition.The hard sofa was a bit uncomfortable buy everything else made up for it.Will def recommend to anyone

This place was just there. Good ambience and good food. However, I dont think I got that feel a great delivery of service from RSVP. For the money spent, I expected much more of a first class delivery of service. Great for fine dining, if you are looking for romantic dine out, this is your go to place. I enjoyed the meal although I feel is it overpriced for how it is. The waiters are okay, but they can do more to make the diners feel very welcomed.

Great place to hang out any day of the week. The outdoor area has a pool where you can sit out. The indoor restaurant is serene and has a fantastic decor and environment. The food is lovely and their cocktails are delicious. Service was great here. It is a great place to hangout on a Friday. The crowd is a great crowd. The music is good as well. Whatever the occasion it is a great place to come with friends either in a large or small crowd to relax , unwind and have fun.

Beautiful space, perfect for all sort of dates; business meetings, lunch dates, intimate dinners etc. You might have to get a reservation though because it’s a pretty popular restaurant and is almost always full especially in the evenings and weekends.The service was really wonderful. The food was good as well, I wanted to try so many things on the menu that it was hard making a choice. The drinks were nice as well, I actually ordered for drinks 3times. Definitely a place worth re visiting.

This place serves the best food and food menu in Lagos. And quite possibly I’ve had my best meal during my stint in Lagos and it’s not too often I come across a place where I’m fine just only dining on the appetizers because they’re so ridiculously good.The place gets busy quickly so I highly recommend calling in your reservations before you go...you won’t regret it.

A week earlier my sister had lunch and invited me but I couldnt make it, so yesterday Sep 29 I went to try it out. If you see how conservative I am with stars youll understand that this is a truly deserving four star establishment. Excellent food, excellent service, great ambience and great all round positive feelings. Besides my wife went back the next day for the salad. So add to your next trial and regular...Its now one of my regulars for a great Lagos dining experience

Welcomed by cheerful staff.Food was good and did not take too long before being served.One thing I loved about the salad option on the menu was the variety. The Guava/Strawbwery mix was so good.Covid protocols observed. Sanitizer use and temperature chexk at the entrance.Tablea are well separated. Pretty neat environment with fine view of the lime trees outside. Wood and mirror fittings looked really good.

Review №44

So I’ve been wanting to visit this place for the longest as I heard it pops Friday evenings and I guess it’s true because you can’t just walk in, you need reservations for that day and for weekends in total. I however, couldn’t get one till Saturday and I didn’t feel the vibe everyone raved about as it really is just an upscale restaurant with nothing to write home about the music for a place that is supposed to be ‘the hangout spot’ before you go clubbing, but at least you can have uninterrupted conversations. The food and drinks were good, the patron was pleasant and extremely accommodating cos I made some not-on-the menu modifications to my drinks and meal. There’s an outside sitting by the pool side that might be ‘the popping spot’ as the music coming from that area was better, however there was no activity going on when I was leaving which was already past 11.

This is a great place for a quiet lunch or dinner with loved ones. The food is great, ambiance and environment clean and beautiful.The food is on the pricey side so go there fully loaded. Their drinks/cocktail menu was surprisingly scanty but the drinks we had were decent enough.Its a lovely place to dine in, but comes with a huge price tag.

Review №48

I had their lobster sliders, it came highly recommended, I say I recommend but not as a full meal, if you are on a budget better have the full burger, but you know the downside of having a full burger on a date 😬their pasta hasn’t been influenced by the Nigerian touch, I mean it’s not bad but wasn’t great either, maybe because we chose to modify the seafood meal for a chicken meal. All round it was a good experience, their lightening is good for selfies, it’s also very good as a first date spot, as it is cozy & they do not have loud music.

Absolutely had a great time at RSVP! The ambience first is great. There’s an outdoor space and then there’s the indoor one. The aesthetic is just perfect and I kept looking at some art pieces on the wall.The food is also very pretty, and you can tell by the number of pictures I have 😂 but really beautiful food, that tastes nice. From the duck rolls to the chicken pops and the beef/pork sliders. Everything was a hit!I remember seeing that it was voted as the best restaurant in Lagos on some food blog and they didn’t lie. Definitely coming back.

RSVP is probably the most consistent restaurant in Lagos. Theyve been in business for a while, and its because the food is above average 90% of the time. However, the customer service can be weird, i guess its just a Nigerian thing

We did not make reservations and did not need it.. however I will recommend that you do..RSVP is a very beautiful and clean space..Their cocktails are pretty good too..My meal was great.. my partner enjoyed his so much he has gone there again without me 😂.What I loved was their desert..I can’t for the life of me remember what it was I ordered.. I only remember the ice cream, also it had a crumble around it and was cold on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside.. absolutely perfect ..I will recommend

Looks like one of the popular places for fine dining. The food is great. The fried cauliflower with the amazing sauce. The sea bass was equally amazing. The only frustrating thing was trying to get the attention of the waiter who was serving us. The wine selection is equally good.

Great ambiance created with the lights, perfect for going on dates or dinner with friends. Very efficient and attentive staff.. Not sure they have other cranes of soft drink except Pepsi.. the desert was made fresh, the food was divine and well presented. Great place!The menu didnt leave a lot of choices though.. it was good they had the Australian beef steak and salmon etc, but Id have liked a bit more variety in the poultry menu and some more soda choices. Other than that, I love the place.. Thank you

RSVP is a lovely hangout spot. Trendy, great ambience, great food, good drinks; they also have a very extensive wine menu with both indoor and outdoor sitting areas. Its an upscale place and gets busy particularly on weekends (expectedly), a reservation is also required to ensure you get space to eat. Its a bit pricey so be prepared for that when visiting.

Review №63

Top rated fine dining restaurant in Lagos. Good is top notch as well as the plating. Service can be iffy as they are always fully booked on the weekends and it becomes too noisy to have a conversation over the sim of voices and super loud music. The pool area has very loud fans that make things worse but the manager was nice enough to adjust the setting for some time . They do pay Attention to detail, have a revolved menu and keep the crowd happy. The Sea bass is the best thing on the menu. But then again, rabbit lasagnette, duck breast and jumbo prawns are not bad options. Just don’t forget to have some dessert, the bread pudding is a must

Good restaurant way above average in lagos regarding quality. Pool open at 6 pm. No parking, also please clean your table marble we see the mark of pass guest glasses polish and make it shiny as actually this look bit down compare to the all restaurant which is clean. Service is good your team is attentive to guest. Food come in time and in quality. Little details when your lady cashier , i think , go to a table ask if its fine and thank guest not doing to the next table make me wonder what is the criteria to be recognized as guest.

Absolutely enjoyed hanging out here. Its the perfect vibe for a friday night. I sat at the bar outside which has a small pool and a serene environment. The DJ played 90s music and it was super cool to vibe to that. The seafood papperdelle was very delicious and the cocktails were amazing. But i must say their prices are steep and parking isnt so great. I had to pay to park my car along the road.

Review №69

RSVP is not entirely wheelchair accessible. If youre trying to get access to the pool area, you need to bring your own ramp. So if you dont have one, youre kinda screwed.The restaurant inside is relatively flat but there are seats that are really high so it is impossible for a wheelchair person to transfer onto them. They also have no wheelchair accessible toilet so I cant be there longer than four hours.

Back at RSVP and still the food still leaves much to be desired sometimes. There is a real lack of consistency. Some dishes are devine such as the cauliflower starter and hummus. The duck was a tad dry even though I wanted a medium rare prep. The cocktails are incredible, go for the cocktails thats amazing.

This place has a nice ambience, however the food left more to be desired. The charred squid fell short of being fully seasoned, so were the ginger rice and the sauteed jumbo prawns. The Cops Del Labanon tasted quite nice, but didnt lead to a second glass. The service though was quite excellent with very attentive waiters. For a premium place like this, parking should also be offered to guests as we had to park in a not so secure location outside the premises.

Always a nice place to have lunch or dinner with friends.. had dinner on a Tuesday night and opted for the pool side. I actually didn’t enjoy my food so much because the chicken was very dry but the burger was very good. Nice cocktails too. I was a bit angry when I got there because I couldn’t find where to park for a long time, the gatemen attached to the restaurant couldn’t even bother to help me find parking space and I had to pay when I finally found..

My experience here was mind-blowing both in the day and at Night. The staff are the most warm welcoming perfect start to your lunch and the ambience is second to none. The nightlife will blow your mind away and whatever level of fun youre out to get will definitely be achieved. I am big on very clean restroom spaces and this is one of the few places that effortlessly gives me that comfort. The food was definitely above expectation and there are different spaces for you to have it either in the open space, a corner or by the poolside. This hangout spot comes highly recommended by me and has subtly become my favourite spot both for lunches and night hangout with friends. YOU can have team lunches here, mini parties and I think you can also book the pool and the DJ or the Space by the poolside for your birthday parties and all that but this is definitely a must visit if youre yet to be there. YOU can thank me later.

Its best to go with someone or a group so you can share meals. We had these tiny burgers for starters. I had the pasta with shrimps while my partner had rice and breaded chicken. We ended up splitting both meals to share. If you like cocktails, Id recommend the one with passion fruit. There was a healthy balance between the rum and the juice. Total damage was about 30,000 naira
