"이 리뷰는 한국어와 영어로 쓰였습니다. This reciew is written in both Korean and English. 포트넘 앰 메이슨 차를 사려고 방문한 곳인데 피카딜리쪽보다 확실히 사람도 적고 조용한 분위기라 편하게 쇼핑할 수 있어요. 그리고 정말 정말 직원분이 친절함!!! 부담가지도 않으면서도 자세히 설명해주고 잘 응대해주셔서 쇼핑하는 내내 매우 기분이 좋았습니다 이름을 못 물어봐서 어떤 직원분인진 모르겠지만 ㅠ 지금까지 돌아다닌 유명한 기념품 쇼핑 플레이스 중에서 그 분 응대가 제일 좋았습니다. 피카딜리쪽보다는 아무래도 관광객이 덜 와서 그런 것 같긴 해요. 차 종류는 제 기억으로는 따로 패키지에 골라서 파는 것 말고 일반 틴케이스로 파는 건 다 있습니다. 특별한 건 여기에서만 파는 royal exchange blend가 있는데 전 royal blend보다 더 맘에 들어서 그걸로 삼 ㅎㅎ 그리고 이 매장이 포트넘 앤 메이슨 매장 중에 가장 최근에 생긴 지점이라네요. 깨끗한 곳에서 비교적 차분하게 쇼핑하실 분은 추천드립니다! I went this place to buy Fortnum Mason tea for presents and this place is definitely better place to buy teas than the one in piccadilly. The staffs here are super friendly which made the whole shopping experience extremly satisfying. It is much less crowded than the piccadilly store so you can take your time. If you are not up to buy the Rare teas which are only offered in individual packaging, you would be able to find everything you want. Also you can buy in individual packaging for normal teas if you want to. It has a special blend named Royal Exchange Blend only sold in this store. I prefer this one to the original royal blend. This store is the latest built one among the Fortnum Masons so it is super clean. I highly recommend this place!!!"

"We visited here today for our wedding anniversary meal. We’ve been regulars for special occasions for around 10 years now so it was a no brainer to visit again as the food has always been amazing. Sadly this would be our last visit. On arrival we were greeted by new faces. Turns out there’s new ownership, we obviously weren’t aware of this. We cannot fault the staff at all because they were all lovely and welcoming. Good start. Sadly the menu has changed a lot and many of our fave items were no longer on the menu. We ordered chicken empanadas for starters. They tasted the same as before but instead of using chicken breast it was now chicken mince. Not as tasty or worth the price in our opinion. For our main we both ordered fillet steak at over £30 a piece. My husbands was cooked perfectly (well done . Mine was not. I ordered medium and it arrived medium rare. Maybe even more rare as I attempted to eat it. The meat wasn’t even red in colour, it was a purple tone and it was so rare and wobbled like jelly on my plate. I ended up not being able to stomach more than 50% of it. And to top it off it had 0% flavour. Maybe the chef needs to season the meat in future. The chimichurri was spot on but my husbands peppercorn sauce was rank. It was a strange sloppy grey substance. Never before in my life have I seen grey peppercorn sauce! My husband soon regretted pouring it over his steak which then made it inedible. Ordered the garlic and parsley roasted potato side at around £5. It arrived as 3 large roasted wedges with a small amount of green sauce dribbled on the top! Bland and awful. I’m actually offended by this side in particular. The roasted red pepper however was lovely. But how hard could that one be to get right. My husband did however enjoy one part of his meal and that was the prawn starter. So well done for that one I guess. Still not enough to justify the amount of money we’d just been robbed of. We only had soft drinks with our meal so didn’t spend much on those but the total bill came in at just over £150. I can honestly say it was the biggest waste of money ever. Shocking food to say the least. In my opinion and advice to any regulars out there please steer clear. Sad to say after so many visits over the past decade, we will never return here. Any recommendations for a new steak house would be welcomed! :"

"Babessss let me tell you this restaurant gives you the best food. It is absolutely delicious and it's not your ordinary recipes. It is like Michelin style dishes like they actually put effort in pairing things together according to their taste and texture. Anchovies: we were expecting just a few pieces like other restaurants but nope. It's an entire plate of fish! The portion already got us excited and what brings it to another level is the warm sourdough bread. And what's every better? They charged £1.85 for extra bread! We've had experience where restaurants charged us £4.80 for two pieces of extra bread, so this is amazing to us. Grilled mackerel: omg the fish is cooked to perfection and with all the sauce/veggies that come with it, it's so sophisticated and simply delicious. The size is great too as we were expecting less than that. Crispy chicken thigh: we made a joke when we were browsing the menu because it's around £14 and we thought with the inflation and everything, it'd come with one piece of thigh. But NOPE! It came with 3 and all these food is plenty enough to satisfy us. And let me tell you the cauliflower purée in this dish is just phenomenal. So yummy. Chocolate pudding: we aren't usually a dessert in a restaurant kinda people but because everything is so good and the dessert price isn't too expensive, we decided to go for it. First impression is the very nice portion size because it usually comes in a GU pudding sorta size but nope. This is a SOUP BOWL!!! Omg that already got my heart and the taste with the lemon biscuit is just so goooooooood! You gotta try it out. You gotta."
