"As it was a lovely sunny day in London we decided to try out The Terrace at St Martins Lane Hotel for dinner and take advantage of their outside space. Wow, we were not disappointed on either the space, food or drinks. They’ve cleverly maximised their outside space and created an oasis of calm – a great place to relax away from the craziness that is Covent Garden – with the added bonus of sitting in the sun. The large flowerpots and foliage screens shield you from people walking past so you don’t feel you’re on display. We ordered their signature drink – the Chandon Garden Spritz – which was the perfect drink to enjoy in the sun. It’s refreshing with a hint of orange served with dried orange slice and rosemary. Sounds weird with the rosemary but it really works. We decided to share a couple of starters and mains so we could try as many dishes as possible. The menu isn’t large, but we found we were spoilt for choice as everything sounded delicious. We had the salmon tartare which was refreshing and full of flavour. The burrata was so smooth and creamy – just melted in your mouth and the spiced melon puree was an inspired addition! We loved their twist on the classic Caesar salad – especially the tempura anchovies – could have eaten a bowl of them! The sumac trout with crab tabbouleh was a hit with us both as well. The level of service was spot on, we didn’t have to wait long or wave manically to get their attention. A shout out to James and Ottavia who were so welcoming and attentive. Highly recommend The Terrace – it’s now a firm fav and will be a regular haunt for us during the summer months."
