"Allowed to book onto the set menu for 7:30, arrived and told the set menu isn’t available after 7. Spoke with the manager who was rude, unable to deal with accordingly and actually had no experience in handling with issues. One person missed off for drinks and another wrong item arrived on the table when the food did arrive. Lovely food but well over priced and no service to match"

"Food ok but not Stellar Artichoke and truffle salad small, zucchini frites a bit limp and venison main very small sea bass perfect Service really slow 50 mins from sitting to starters…having chased Not worth the 15% service charge added Private event was going on one suspected we were second fiddle Room had really bad draft in it bordering on cold Table next to us had to be reseated as they were too cold No idea why they went for open kitchen style in such a small dining room but when the kitchen staff and chef calling out orders is louder than the guests that’s an issue Probably won’t return"

"The staff was excellent, and the wine and whiskey were quite good. However, the food was just average. I started with the pigeon; the menu mentioned breast and wing, so I expected one of each, but I received four wings that were tough and had so little meat that they wouldn’t have satisfied a pigeon, especially for £14. On the plus side, the black pudding was enjoyable. The main courses were alright, but nothing worth raving about."

"The service at this restaurant is consistently chaotic, and unfortunately, the food is very average and overpriced. To make matters worse, the food is served in the lounge area rather than in the main restaurant."

"Not much imagination went into naming 34, its address is 34 Grosvenor Square; such lack of creative facility does not bode well. And the address, well, that too sends a message, for as one London guide says: From its earliest days Grosvenor Square attracted residents of high social status, over half of whom, until well into the 20th century, were people of title. The square has never deteriorated socially. Are commoners even allowed? Finally, as part of Caprice Holdings Ltd, a group that includes Scott's less than five minutes walk away where hedge fund managers being seen and being rich seemed to us on our visit there more important than the food served, are we simply in the wrong place to get a good meal? Fortunately, the answer is no and the best part about 34 is indeed the food. We're pleased to say that 34 is much closer to the wonderful Le Caprice rather than Scott's, leaving us happy customers indeed. As you will have already surmised by now, 34 is the kind of restaurant that ta"

"We booked this restaurant for our 40th wedding anniversary. The welcome was fine once we had pointed out we were booked into the restaurant and not attending the private event upstairs as the doorman assumed. The table was nice if somewhat cramped, and taking of drinks and food orders was prompt, albeit a bit persistent, as we wanted time to relax and enjoy the occasion. The pre dinner cocktails were excellent and the starters were delicious. We did however encounter issues with our mains, with my wife being given cabbage rather than the crispy potatoes she ordered (they did replace them but only after we pointed the mistake out) and the peas and carrots side being provided without spoons to serve them with (again corrected only once we pointed the lack out). My halibut tranche had lots of small bones as well as the main one I had been expecting and wasn’t that enjoyable to eat as a result. My wife’s lamp chop was nicely cooked but not exceptional. In fairness, the restaurant took all of the sides, including my fries which were excellent, off the bill without promoting and they gave us a wonderful sorbet and chocolate plate for the occasion, so overall a nice enough evening but not to the high standard I expected, given my previous experience there."

"We had such a lovely evening at the Arber Garden. The venue was decorated beautifully for Christmas with a lovely lit up (heated) garden. The staff were friendly and the right level of attentiveness. It had a luxury laid back feel. You could dress up or down and still feel the part. The food was really delicious I had the smoked salmon starter and trout, my friends had the Christmas Turkey. Everyone was very happy. Not enough room for pudding sadly. The wine was really decent for the price and I had an excellent cosmopolitan. We stayed until nearly past closing. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Feels like a hidden gem in the heart of the London."

"we have booked the last dinner sessions on Christmas Day for Christmas dinner in the arber garden 3 months in advance. I will prevent this by saying that the gastfreundschaft industry has been hit hard lately, and that this was the Christmas day, but a restaurant that should decide for opening on Christmas day should be better prepared. we came to sit immediately and it took 25 minutes to get service and water. other tables have been set after us and get faster service. only 45 minutes after sitting we received our drinks. the Christmas menu had four main dishes, and the four members of our party ordered all the truthahnfestgericht. the cook/the management had not ordered enough food because thirty minutes after ordering our meals, we were recommended that they were from the truthahn, and we had to choose other meals. fortunately, these meals came fast, but we saw that at least two other tables served the turkey after we were told that no one remained. we have assumed that this was the result of the initial delay in the operation of our table. while eating altogether was quite good, the service left much to wish. the management has created a balance for the failure of service quality. this was not 80 gbp per person meal."

"The atmosphere is fantastic, the presentation is beautiful, the view is stunning, and the service is impeccable. If I had to mention anything unexpected or unusual, it would be the absence of music, the slightly uncomfortable chairs, and the fact that you need to use your phone to access the menu. However, I suppose these are just personal preferences that don't significantly detract from the overall wonderful experience at the restaurant."

"Lunching with a client based close by. So many restaurants in the area have closed, Oscar a safe bet. Tried to book on line, got 90% through the process then they asked for my credit card details for a lunch booking for two at a pretty ordinary, hotel based restaurant. Seems OTT and made me uncomfortable. So I rang them, made the reservation, no credit card details needed. Daft. Staff were brilliant, great beers, food was fantastic pork schnitzel was superb but a little expensive adding chicken to the Caesar salad added £10 to the price! Added. The salad was already £20. For a Casar salad! Thus, £30 all up. Punchy."

"We had a reservation at 10/1030pm which we attended. However one of the guests left around 1130 and paid the bill on her exit however when the rest of us left we were given the bill to pay. My sister paid £107 when she left which was the entire bill. The remaining 3 guests including myself were issued with another bill which was split two ways £46.53 each we paid this bill should not have come as after paying the £107 there was nothing ordered to the table. There seems to be an error. We were not given an itemised bill we were just told the amount of the second bill and we decided to split two ways between two of us guests, as at this point we were not aware our sister who left earlier had paid the entire bill. No member of staff informed us of this either but they would have been fully aware this was paid and no further drinks were ordered to our table. We need a refund to be issued. Absolutely disappointed that staff still took payment for god knows what instead of telling us the bill had been paid."

"We are partial to an afternoon tea and have attended many. This was a very good one and we did enjoy it very much. We had a lovely table at the back of the restaurant and our waitress was lovely. The ambience and the decor in the restaurant was excellent and the location for our theatre visit was perfect. On the whole the experience was excellent and we would return. The scones were probably the best we 've had for a long time. We all agreed they were delicious. So light inside with a fine crust on the outside. Bit disappointing we had to share the jam and cream just give everyone their own to avoid the have you had enough? or pass the cream scenarios. The sandwiches were delicious too, but we felt for the money a bit mean. Just one round each, ie four finger sandwiches. Many afternoon teas in this price range would have topped up the savoury, but this didn 't happen here. No small quiches or pastries, just four finger sandwiches. The sweet cakes and pastries were clearly made on the premises and we all thought, apart from the chocolate and passion fruit that they were delicious and expertly made. None of us enjoyed the chocolate and passion fruit tart. Also, we had to ask for our tea to be topped up. The cocktails were a nice added touch, but they were very small and again, none of us like the combo of the chocolate and passionfruit cocktail. All in all though, lovely surroundings, good service and mainly delicious food with the best scones in town!"

"This was the fourth time me and my mom went for Afternoon Tea at the Swan. As always it was amazing. You get an wonderful view on the Thames while enjoying the lovely bites. We are vegetarian so they made special sandwiches for us. To make everything complete my mother got a special plate with extra macarons with on it Happy Birthday, because they knew it was her birthday. I already know that when we go next year to London we will enjoy another Afternoon tea at the Swan."

"great place and excellent eating. Cheesecake light and creamy, never tasted better and not the full of pasta version, but creamy cheesy, excellent. service was a great polite and thoughtful, flexible booking before location to provide for pop in the guests. clean and tidy, maybe the floor covering should be improved as waiter, which by felt under my chair near."

"Been twice now since they introduced their separate vegan menu and both times were so tasty! Tried the Mac and cheese and the BBQ pulled jackfruit fajitas! They have a sorbet as dessert currently but the staff said they are working on introducing other dessert options! Also really like that the vegan menu is a veganised version of their main menu they've put so much effort in"

"A wonderful interlude after our show was cancelled. Joppe was so attentive and friendly and the rest of the staff were great too. The bathroom was clean and spacious and environmentally friendly with proper hand towels. The drinks menu had everything you could need and everything was easy to find. They use paper straws. Wonderful tapas snacks and beautiful decor. I can really recommend their infused gins. This bar made us want to book the adjacent hotel next time we visit. Really great bar."

"Le Caprice is tucked away in Arlington Street in a surprisingly quiet spot behind the Ritz. If it sounds glam, it’s because it is. In a restaurant like that, the little details in service are what really set a place apart. We walked in with a booking and the maître d’ managed very discreetly and without me realising, to confirm a special little something that the s.o. had requested. Now that, is class. From our seats at the bar (we love the counter if you recall from my Bocca Di Lupo post I could see the maître greeting the regulars like a pro (handshake for the men, sometimes a hug for the ladies or a peck on the cheek). Even before we had a single bite to eat, we knew this...read more"

"usually difficult to get a table short time, but we had practically the whole restaurant to ourselves around 19 clock on Thursday. this was due to the fact that the local hotel occupancy rates were strongly depressed and the people of home working due to covid 19. this empty, there was atmosphere missing but service excellent. good choice of all courses and I especially enjoyed the Oktopus starter. grilled cod main course cooked to perfection with large damp flocks of fish. criminality brûlée with rhabarb and coffee finish. a good choice of crying, but the brandup is exaggerated."

"The food was average, the service was okay, and the atmosphere was lacking due to COVID-19 restrictions which seemed to be an excuse to provide minimal effort. We may not come back as our reservation was for 7:45 pm, but due to COVID-19 restrictions starting at 6:00 pm, we had to dine earlier. We only found out about the change in dining time when we called the restaurant, as they did not contact us beforehand. While we are trying to support businesses during this time, it is disheartening when a restaurant seems more focused on doing the bare minimum."
