"When I say the servers here are extremely attentive I mean it as praise and detractor. We barely sat down and within the space of two minutes at least three or four staff came over champagne trolley, water, menus, wine list, sommelier. Nice to have the attention of the staff but give us a minute to settle in and adjust (especially as it felt like a hundred degrees in there). I’m sure many people like being waited on hand and foot but it’s not for everyone. Also the sommelier just showered us with recommendations without asking anything about preferences or even if we wanted wine in the first place, comes across a little aggressive. All food was good in like a 7/10 kind of way. Nothing mind blowing from what we ordered. The mac cheese was kinda watery and I swear the choux bun was burnt. They did bring us out a little birthday mousse which is always appreciated and visually the place is pretty special."

"Bread Street Kitchen is a nice little spot in St Pauls. Owned by Gordon Ramsay and straight opposite Jamie Oliver's Barbecoa. With these two right beside each other you feel spoilt for choice. We opted for Gordon's as we know one of the Managers and Waitresses from working other places. Without them being there, there place would be friendly. It is a grand space with high ceilings, ornate design, very airy and a massive bar offering. It is over a first floor and ground floor. Nice little areas inside to set up in. The downstairs, with a one chair corner for some alone time as you come up the stairs. The restaurant area, bar top and bar area. The bartenders have good cocktail knowledge and...read more"

"Thank you Lutyens for another excellent lunch. My sister who joined me as my guest had a broken foot and the manager and staff were most accommodating in finding a box to stand it on so it was raised. The Dover sole is always very good but as a beer drinker could they stock Birra Moretti as well as Peroni as the former is much nicer and it's what the Italians drink!"

"Maybe when people are arrive and you offer water for the table you should explain this is chargeable at £5.50. Also check your toilets more regularly as disappointed to find toilet roll cardboard and lady products on the floor. Food amazing though and highly recommend for the food alone!"

"As a vegetarian, I carefully review menu options before making a reservation. I was delighted to see my favorite pasta dish (pea and shallot) on the online menu, but disappointed to find out it was no longer available. Despite this, the food we ordered was outstanding, although it was served very quickly. While our first experience at this restaurant was perfect, this visit left me feeling slightly disappointed and undervalued as a customer. I appreciate the effort made to improve our experience, but it fell a bit short. Despite this, I will still consider returning in the future and hope for an experience similar to our first visit. Thank you."

"We were the first table seated and the service was very prompt with catering to our needs. We had the octopus and scallops as a starter. About 5 minutes later food was out. The scallops out of the two dishes were the winner. Great depth of flavour great balance of salt to sweet to sour and the nduja added that hint of spice. The octopus was also good. Nice cook on the Octo and we'll balance I just felt it needed a bit more depth to hit the palate correctly. On to the mains but before that can someone please turn off the alarm from the staircase right beside us please, it's so Annoying. Wild boar Ragu for me and lobster for the Mrs. Again I chose the winning dish. The lobster dish was semi drowning in a water puddle of flavourful broth. We both wished they would of rendered/reduce, thicken that broth to make remove it from its homogeneous state. The Ragu the best of the two dishes wasn't wowsers but, still good. I would of loved a bit more acidity and a layer of fat left behind on my tongue. It was simple and nice which makes it a great dish. Tell you what doesn't make it a great dish when the staff is laying down the law to what seemed to be a new staff memember who decided to wear his own vest coat to work when he shouldn't have. We were the only ones in the restaurant so we were the only ones who witnessed it but, not the right time or place for it. After they sent him to the corner for timeout the staff brought out a nice mango dessert to excuse for the Loud beeping which had still been running loud throughout the whole service. Overall a decent meal you pay for the premium of the location. Would I come again, yes but with a game plan and an extra vest coat"

"First time dining here after many years. We dined before a theatre event so it was early evening. There were not many tables taken. About 4 by the time we left. So it was fairly quiet but once inside we both felt very relaxed and calm. Very helpful staff without being overbearing. The interiors were lovely and the food outstanding. Hope to dine again soon"

"Just really really slow not great service. Specified it was a corporate lunch and the main server (lady) was just really unhelpful and really giving us disdained looks all meal. Often tried to catch people’s attention during the meal and they’d look the other way. A shame, because I had been a week before and enjoyed myself a lot for a corporate lunch, it was spot on, the server was wonderful."

"We arrived at around 4pm and were seated on a bench near the entrance. There were only two other tables with customers. We ordered our drinks and starters, both arrived without delay. Then the evening staff started arriving, they congregated by the door. Their talking and laughter was disruptive, it spoilt the ambience within the restaurant. Our food arrived, it was wonderful, spoilt only by groups of staff standing by the bar, catching up. We ordered one dessert and a coffee, the dessert was delivered to our table. My coffee was then placed on the bar behind the group of staff chatting. It was a couple of minutes before someone turned around and spotted it. It was still warm when it was delivered to me, I would have preferred it hot! Overall, can't fault the food. Staff and service could be improved."

"I must say that my experience at lunch today was incredibly disappointing. I had been looking for a suitable place to enjoy a quiet lunch with my Grandmother before visiting an exhibition at the British Museum. Starting on a positive note, the staff were excellent at providing a pre-lunch Gin Tonic in the hotel before we moved into the dinning room. Unfortunately after that things started to go down hill. The dinning room was deserted for lunch on a Saturday. As it later became apparent, this was intentional. Two groups of walk-ins were turned away and told that the restaurant was “fully booked” despite it only having only two people in it. This is a restaurant that clearly doesn’t want your business. On the food quality, I had ordered the fishcake starter which was to be served with a poached egg. The poached egg had been boiled to an inch of its life. The yolk was rock hard and going grey. I am not certain how such an error could occur in a restaurant that only had two diners. Further my Tuna from the Grill menu was barely cooked at all. Despite these issue the bill also proved challenging. Firstly, I had to remind them that our drinks had not been added to the bill. Secondly, despite the issues they had still had the nerve to add a 12.5% gratuity to the bill. At no point when we were leaving did they attempt to apologise. For those reading to the end of this review, do not visit this “non-restaurant”, they clearly do not value their customers."

"Christmas Day visit for group of 5. Venue was nice though a little out of the way. Host who greeted us during our early arrival and accommodated with an early seating was helpful. Bartender who took great care in his cocktail preparations was also enjoyable as we had a short wait for our table. Our server did explain gluten free options for one of our diners but rest of service was disappointing. Menu was limited for the holiday but did not expect a Gordon Ramsay restaurant to be out of Beef Wellington at 6:45PM!! We ordered the salt and peppar squid, Burrata, and the Salt beef brisket. Entrees were fish and chips, roasted cod and 3 orders of the Christmas roast beef, also included a side of macaroni cheese. All dishes arrived luke warm and were bland and tasteless with exception of the salt brisket. Server did not offer us another bottle of water, another bottle of wine nor did he check on whether we enjoyed our meals. We did ask why the macaroni cheese was watery and received a weak response. We have been to other Gordon Ramsay restaurants and this did not rate. One of diners noted that this meal was worthy of a Kitchen Nightmares episode. We should have complained but it was our last night in London so we just wanted to leave."

"My mum and I called in to the bar at Poets House on our way home. Despite only having a glass of wine each, we were well-tended too and did not have to wait at all to be served at our table. As always the decor was fantastic and the atmosphere was fantastic. It was also lovely to see the happiness from a 40th party leaving from the function room. Many other people had enjoyed an afternoon tea, and couldn't eat it all. I last visited here for my dad's birthday breakfast- so it was fantastic to experience another time of day."

"Food was excellent and served quickly. There were of course on 4 people in the restaurant other than the staff. The steak was really really good and cooked exactly as I had asked for. I thought £3 for some horse radish on the side was ridiculous. The fact the everything is a side at additional cost is a bit much. Nothing was offered included in the price of the steak. So by the time you have say mashed potato, and two veg plus the horse radish you've added £21 to a £43 steak. Pity they no longer have table cloths so it no longer feels like fine dining for a fine dining price. However, the service was excellent as was the food hence the positive rating. The restaurant and its outside tables (in a narrow side street) are a bit gloomy compared with the old location."

"We had the Kitchen Table at Maze and it was truly one of the most memorable dining experiences ever and we have been to many top-end restaurants in the major cities all over the world. The service was extremely attentive and impeccable. The food was creative and so delicious and the courses kept coming and coming. We even got to prepare our own second dessert with the pastry chef. All of the chefs came to the table and introduced their dishes. Being in the kitchen gave us the unique vantage point as how efficient and hard a successful kitchen works. I did learn that the UK Service Charge applied did not go to the staff so be prepared to provide cash gratuities to the waiter and wine steward. This dining experience is a must for foodies!!!"

"Food was good but it did feel like they were pushing the overpriced drinks and specials. Special was underwhelming and to this day, no idea how much it cost. Bill at the end was definitely higher than expected for the lunch we had."

"Terrible from start to finish. Service very very slow, we waited 30 mins for drinks and then the waiter had to be shown everything on the menu to take the order. The restaurant was very noisy, voices echo and the air con was so cold you froze in your seat. Most disappointing was the food. Expensive and steaks not cooked to standard ordered and served on cold plates. Filet steak £39 not cooked on one side at all! Served raw! Chewy ribeye and in no way worth the ridiculous prices. No trimmings all extra side orders, even chips at £5 extra were half empty. Will never return, paid half the bill and went elsewhere for dessert!!"
