H Forman Son Smoked Salmon Restaurants

Blue Door Bistro

➤ Montague Hotel15 Montague Street, London, United Kingdom

Soup • British • European • Bar-lounge

"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."

Montague Ski Lodge

➤ 15 Montague Street London, WC1 5BJ, WC1B 5BJ, United Kingdom

Beer • Wine • Hotels • Casual

"Who knew there was an outdoor ski lodge just behind the British Museum?? The Montague had done a fantastic job of recreating a covered bar and informal dining area in their patio area and it was great fun! The menu set up was different to what was described on TT there was no set price anything which made it more expensive than expected but also more flexible as two of our group ended up not drinking. The two choices of fondue were delicious and the tasting platter looked amazing. Service was really friendlyalthough there were times when the bar was unattended so we had to wait for more drinks etc but that was minor as the staff had really got into the spirit and made it a really great experience. I'll definitely be returning next year"

Cheneston's

➤ The Milestone Hotel 1 Kensington Court London, W8 5DL, United Kingdom

Wine • Steak • English • British

"Chenestons is a wonderful find! We couldn’t have had a more superb experience. Leo and Julia are really excellent – their customer service is outstanding. All the other staff were equally superb, warm and genuine, I didn’t catch their names. It really is a special place and I was so excited because some of my favourite music is Glenn Miller and Al Bowlly and this was gently playing in the background which enhances the 1930s and 40s feel of the place. I was in utter heaven! The food was wonderful. We had help choosing our wine and Leo understood exactly what we liked and what would match our food and he didn’t oversell or make us choose a really expensive bottle. We appreciated this very much. The cauliflower starter was exquisite as was my smoked salmon. My halibut was gorgeous and my fiancé’s chicken pie was perfect. We visited for lunch before the Proms that evening and it really was a day we will never forget. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to come back."

Hotel du Vin & Bistro - Henley-on-Thames

➤ New Street Henley-On-Thames, Oxfordshire RG9 2BP, SW1A 1NN, HenleyOnThames, United Kingdom

Hotels • Seafood • British • European

"I have been coming to the HDV Henley pretty much since it opened, I booked Sunday lunch for the two of us, the restaurant was nice enough, only 1 other table eating though, and soon enough we were the only people in the restaurant, I know there is an issue everywhere with staffing, however at times we had no staff at all. the food was ok, the shared platter we had was great, the mains I had Sunday lunch was ok, personally I don't think the £95 bill for the 2 course and a bottle of house wine was warranted. Its a shame, we sat outside and listened to two staff basically manning about staffing, management, and other issues, maybe need to be aware of guests who are around more, not the sort of conversations guests should be hearing. Another issue I really don't like is, staff near you speaking in a foreign language, and then swopping between said language and English, its not professional either."

The Game Bird

➤ The Stafford London, SW1A 1NJ, United Kingdom

British • European • Vegetarian • Tartar Steak

"Truly memorable Sunday lunch for two. Sun was shining and we enjoyed great **** Marys sitting outside n the Courtyard area of the American Bar. Starters of dressed crab and smoked salmon were simple but perfectly executed. Roast beef was sublime, it melted in the mouth. Roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding excellent. I am not a huge vegetable fan but my wife thought everything else was perfectly cooked. We have scored the food maximum marks but my wife's only suggestion to improve the meal would be if they could swap the roasted cauliflower for cauliflower cheese. A minor quibble though. Lemon tart with mascarpone ice cream was light but delicious Master Sommelier was brilliant. We love red wine but the wine menu was far more sophisticated than we are. He took the time to quietly check our comfort zone in terms of price and then recommended a Burgundy which we would never have chosen and and it was wonderful. At the end of the meal he then gave us a tour of the 350 year old wine cellars below the restaurant which was fascinating and a really privilege. The food at The Game Bird, at least as far as Sunday lunch is concerned, is at least as good if not better than Simpsons in the Strand, and the service is outstanding. We can't wait to go back."
