"Beautiful environment with Christmas decorations everywhere, but the service and the food was not perfect enough for a Michelin star. Our main course of Brill was boiled in the middle and my husband's mackerel starter was too small and not great. The soufflés with Armagnac and plum ice cream were huge and beautiful, although some caramelized pears with it would be even more beautiful. The wine list is also very expensive and they did not have the picpoul we had ordered. We were offered to another Italian wine, but it was not a game, so we ordered a more expensive South African Sauvignon Blanc instead. The free dessert wine, the canapés and candy were nice extras. Finally, the staff was very strenuous and not so well organized so that the service was not on scratches. This was not helped by the fact that the restaurant was full and there was also a large family group near us, babies and buggies!"

"When our food finally arrived, it was mediocre at best. The flavors were bland and uninspiring, and the presentation was lackluster. We were left disappointed and underwhelmed by the whole experience. Overall, our visit to the Savoy Grill was a letdown. We had high expectations for a memorable dining experience, but unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. We would not recommend this restaurant to others looking for a special dining experience in London."

"the food generally was very good and tastey although a very limited menu, especially the main courses for vegetarians... only 1 option....... so we settled for 2 starters each and a dessert which was yummie.... the chocolate brownie.... The service was extreamly slow even though we were the only table in at one point and although the staff were very polite and pleasant they lacked va va voom and the ability to make you feel special. The price structure seemed a bit pricey but would have been acceptable if the ambiance and service had matched the food Overall an OK evening but nothing to encourage a return visit any time soon"

"The food was generally very good and flavorful, but the menu was quite limited, particularly for vegetarian options, with only one choice available. We started with two appetizers and shared a dessert, which was delicious—a chocolate brew. The service, however, was quite slow, even though we were the only table at the time. While the staff was polite and friendly, they lacked a certain energy that would make us feel special. The pricing seemed a bit high, but it might have been acceptable if the atmosphere and service had matched the quality of the food. Overall, it was an okay evening, but not enough to entice us to return anytime soon."

"Came here for a Sunday roast. Overall we enjoyed our meal here. £20 for two courses was much better value than most places. The starters we ordered arancini and calamari were tasty and well sized. We ordered the beef and pork roasts. Serving size was very good. Lots to enjoy on the plate. The beef was very good, had a delicious taste and cooked just right. The trimmings were all cooked well, although would have preferred the potatoes more crispy. Gravy was a bit thin too. Cauliflower cheese was delicious, very rich and cheesy. The Yorkshire puddings also very well done. Service was good. Atmosphere somewhat lacking due to a very quiet day. But it didn’t take anything from the experience. Happy to recommend and we will be returning."

"Made my friend take me here as I’ve wanted to try Gordon Ramsey beef Wellington. We got in an hour early and they were very accommodating to sit us early. Started our meal with some warm bread with a delicious Smokey butter with a touch of salt, which arrived quite some time after we asked for it. We’re we’re kind of left to our own devices for a while at first. Not sure really why as we were ready to order pretty fast. Our first course was the steak tartare which was wonderful. Everything I like about this dish was there. It was served with what seemed like home made crisps which were amazing. For our main course we both had the beef Wellington. The fillet part was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. My disappointed came with the mushroom filling which just took over the flavor of everything, and for me not in a good way. Just too earthy. We both assured we would have enjoyed just a steak. The meal wasn’t cheap for both of us as one would expect. Especially with the alcohol prices."

"the food was absolutely amazing. The chefs table experience was good, a little awkward and felt like we were disturbing the kitchen. However, every one was accommodating and friendly. We loved watching the chefs cook and work as a well oiled team. Would definitely recommend the chefs table. Made my fiances birthday a very special and memorable day. We would recommend he Savoy Grill to others as we are already planning to return ourselves."

"We went to The Kings Head to celebrate my husbands birthday. We booked in advance and initially things weren’t too bad but after ordering the food it all went down hill! We arrived at 7.30 and at 8.30 we were still waiting for starters, the starter I ordered didn’t state it sits on mayonnaise hence when it arrive I sent it back as I don’t eat mayonnaise. I was then told that another starter would take 10 minutes so I told them not to worry and I would stick to the main on it’s own, a minute later our waitress came back with my new starter which actually was the original one that they had just moved onto a different plate and tried to hind the mayonnaise it had on it!! Hence I told them I didn’t want it, and hour later our mains arrived, which my friends was completely cold and very dry so it was sent away, they removed mains from the bill and told us that a large table that they had, had caused chaos which affected everyone else in the restaurant! Wouldn’t go back."

"Was seated upstairs of the pub for lunch for a group of 6. Table was set up nicely. I ordered the rib steak on the bone for £45. Medium rare with peppercorn sauce. It was cooked well and it was delicious! Plenty of meat for me. Sides were great especially the chips! Wasn't a fan of the creamed spinach I think it has a herb or spice I'm not used to. Broccoli was also tasty. Would rate 5/5 if it wasn't so expensive "

"December 17, 2019 Very disappointed in our meal tonight. The fish and lobster pie had no lobster in it and very little fish. The size of the dish was also quite small and left me feeling hungry. When I mentioned how dissatisfied I was with the quality of the pie and the lack of lobster and very small quantity of fish the waiter said she would let the kitchen know. She returned to say that the manager had been informed of my comments on the meal. But the manager never came to speak to our complaint and the only thing that was offered to us was a free dessert. It was a overpriced considering there was hardly any fish and no lobster at all in a £14.00 fish and lobster pie. This was a much anticipated return visit as our last dinner here was very good."

"A very off hand welcome where they said they didn’t have our reservation despite it being on Open Table and I showed them on my phone. We were seated at a table directly under the air con . I asked to be moved and the lady next to us put on a cardigan. I asked for a Malbec and showed Tighe waiter on the list . He then brought an ice bucket which I looked questioningly at before he produced a Chardonnay. I showed him the wine again which was on the page clearly labels Reds. While pouring he sloshed the wine over the glass onto the table. Our chicken liver parfait was hardly set.. OK abut not good. I had Beef Wellington ... very over cooked with blackened pastry despite the fact I had asked for rare.we had checked if the boeuf bourguignon was pieces of meat . The waiter confirmed it was ... yet one whole piece turned up . Our cat had a good dinner as we just took the food away . Dessert of the day was good ."

"I have to say to whole experience was very underwhelming from the moment I arrived, the food and service. Although I had made my reservation through OpenTable and had an email confirmation the staff had no record of my booking. To add to that it definitely felt like the staff did not believe me and made me feel very uncomfortable in front of my guests. The food was pretty standard, but what made it even worse was the staff were so miserable, no smiles and everything felt like an inconvenience."

"We were surprised that even after two attempts they could not cook a steak medium rare, but we were so hungry after being made to wait 30 mins for a table in spite of having a reservation with OpenTable, we didn't care. The soup took 25 mins to arrive and only after reminding them that we'd ordered starters and they didn't even come with one slice of bread -and we were not offered bread either. It was quite hard to get anyone's attention. There were a lot of problems in ordering our food, communication between the staff and the kitchen, but they were very busy, so perhaps we were unlucky. The head waiter did his best to remedy the problem with our main meal, but I didn't want to spend more of my time to address the other issues because I could tell that they knew that they were having a difficult day."

"I took my mom out for her birthday to this wonderful restaurant. The ambience was lovely and I highly recommend trying the Bay Tree Rossini - it was delicious. I would definitely return. The service, meal type, dinner, and price per person were all great. I rated the food, service, and atmosphere a 5 out of 5. I recommend trying the Steak Rossini."

"You pay for the name and location here. Decor really isn’t that impressive and the service was really condescending and poor, very comical outlook considering who was sat at his table. Regardless, pre dinner nibbles came out after starters and there were many starter dishes missing. The majority of the starters were unimpressive, although must be said, the steak tartare was very very good. On to mains. Most of the table, mostly happy, couple complained about blandness. I ordered a wagyu steak, which was very well cooked, but slightly disappointing that the waiter decided to point out the price of the steak two or three times, as if I should reconsider the £100 steak, in case I couldn’t afford it. We paid the included service charge which was £110 on the £750 bill , however retrospectively, service wasn’t worth the price. I paid the bill as a treat to my table, waiter ignore all my guests and only said thank you to me and shook my hand come on!!!!! The food was good but the service experience and customer service really should be thought about."

"Been going to The Moody Mare for many years now and last nights food was very disappointing. Garlic bread was soggy, not crisp as it should be. A weak Pimms arrived with no fruit except a lime. The scotch egg was inedible. The yolk was solid, white very firm and the meat part had a very strange taste. It didn't taste, feel or look fresh. I couldn't eat it! Even my rustic chips didn't taste nice. I normally don't leave food so for me to eat about 5% speaks volumes. Our server was very professional, attentive and friendly, as were the other staff. No complaints there. I've always recommended this place to friends and family but for now, I shall not be returning. I am hoping it's a one off!"

"May have been fine if they had more staff on a saturday night. massive potential but seems like a lack of experience ruins it, waited hour and 20 for 3 burgers, ended up being burned and dry. with other bits undercooked had to go to the bar for our drinks as no one came over the whole hour to check on us or explain where the food was, we could regularly see them behind the bar. We were also not the only table waiting for ages for food, or drinks, we actually had people come in after us and have 2 courses before we got burgers. I would put it down to a bad night but on this occasion it more represented a weatherspoons than a gastro pub sadly. I will happily amend my review if i go there again and its is better."

"I was quite disappointed with the tasting menu, which I find is definitely not worth the £80 per person. The lemon sole was overly salty and inedible. For the main course, we received a minuscule portion of lamb that lacked flavor, a tiny potato, and a peculiar fish dish that was hard to comprehend. The dessert was unremarkable. On the positive side, the drink server was very friendly, and the ambiance of the restaurant is pleasant. However, I wouldn't recommend dining here. I'm unsure why the quality was so low, and I dislike leaving negative reviews, but I felt it necessary to caution other potential diners."
