"The restaurant itself is beautiful with all the pictures, chandeliers, booths and tables, shiny wood floor and low lighting and a picture perfect bar and champagne trolley. The staff were brilliant. Attentive without being intrusive, the restaurant manager (deputy maybe) was so helpful, knowledgable and friendly that we felt very at home. The food was lovely, as a vegetarian, I found lots to choose from and it was a special meal for my birthday and sometimes nice restaurants can be disappointing when you're the only vegetarian eating tomato and pasta, but I would recommend Berners Tavern as a great place to have a celebration, romantic meal or friends reunion brunch."

"The ambience was great, you immediately felt comfortable. The staff was friendly, but a lot of time was lost due to the long conversations with the other employees and guests and we had to wait forever for our food (3 hours with starter, main course and dessert), even though there were hardly any people on our evening . In my opinion this is simply far too long. The staff also had to apologize several times for the food taking so long. The food was mostly very good, the fish and chips were unusable as I had to throw up shortly afterwards. The price is comparable to usual London prices."

"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!"

"from the moment when we were greeted by marcos at the door to our impeccable waiter, kapil and the wonderfully charming maitre d', marcello, this culinary experience with a distance was one of the best we ever had. the breathtaking panoramic views are best experienced 30 minutes before sunset, so they watch how london turns from day to night as the skyline explodes in a thousand two-track lights! but the real star of this experience was aquashard itself. Never has fine eating so unpretentious, relaxed and lively. the atmosphere is bubbling and buojant, because everyone has their own unforgettable time. for delicious British modern cuisine, which is presented locally, beautifully and with aromen that they go mmmm, then aquashard is not only the highest restaurant in Europe, but it is highest in my fine culinary experiences, of which I have privileged, many have had."

"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"

"Really unhappy about overall experience, the service is good and everyone was attentive . But we have chosen to celebrate special occasion , birthday and there was no vibe in the restaurant,all the tables were empty and just nothing special about the place."

"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 went out as an 8 with people who are used to dining both here and in the USA , we got an excellent table at the back so we could see the whole of the restaurant . The bar staff looked after us with quick service and an he remembered all the drinks including a difficult cocktail. As we were there on a Sunday we had a super choice of the full menu including Brunch and we were allowed to pick and choose as we saw fit . All of us enjoyed the food and when we wanted sometime extra it was never a prob;em for our dedicated staff member Sebastian . I thought it was good value for money , and the wine list provided a decent choice for every wallet. We loved it as always and cannot recommend it highly enough."

"The restaurant is in a hotel and did not look like the photos. It was nonetheless quite nice (we went to the bar area as the traditional restaurant looked very much like a typical hotel restaurant). The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the food was good (burgers pasta). It was a little on the pricey side but not too bad and really nice quality. The wines were very expensive with the house bottles being at £37.50. The house white was particularly nice though. We shared a large tasty cheese cake. I'm not sure I would go there again because I have travelled a lot and try and avoid hotels but it is a good place."

"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."

"It was very average. Maybe my expectations were too high, but the prices on the menu suggested high quality and a friendly service. The service was bad, not welcoming at all. Drinks and cutlery slammed down on the table by multiple staff members. Not many smiles or polite manners. Food was average, not amazing and definitely not worth the price. Parking: Only 2-3 space for disabled parking. Kid-friendliness: Probably not somewhere you would bring your children."

"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!!!"

"For the price you pay, this place is extremely noisy. It was difficult to have a conversation since the tables are packed too closely together. When I'm spending so much on a meal, I expect a better atmosphere. The service was lacking as well; the staff appeared either overwhelmed or indifferent. I had to actually call the gentleman back just to order my sides after he walked away immediately following my main order. On a positive note, the quality of the food was good, so hats off to the chef!"

"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!!"
