"What. a. gem. From the first-rate food to the slick decor/ambiance, and from the particularly attentive service all the way to the smooth playlist, this place gets full marks. The modern take on the traditional french crepe is perfectly executed (special mention to the divine goat cheese crepe), but other dishes on the menu are equally deserving of praise (the confit duck leg and the dark chocolate dessert were to die for). L'ami Malo: thanks for a fantastic night, you'll be seeing a lot more of me..!"

"An invitation to sample a newly launched gin and tonic menu at The Polo Bar at The Westbury Hotel presented an excellent opportunity to discover a fine place to have a drink. Created by Tanqueray mixologist Tim Homewood and Polo Bar manager Elias Yiallouris, the new G&Ts are part of a “Botanical Brew Experience” collaboration between Tangueray No. TEN gin and Fever Tree tonic water. All feature the quadruple distilled gin and the premium tonic along with an intriguing array of fresh ingredients. Here’s a look at the menu: Blue Lady Tea and Grapefruit Peel served with Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic – the exotic floral and citrus notes of Blue Lady Tea are lifted with zesty Grapefruit Peel, a refreshing thirst quencher; Fennel and star anise seed served with Fever Tree Classic – native to China, the liquorice aromas of Star Anise combine with the sweet, warm flavours of Fennel Seed for an oriental twist; Blackberry and hibiscus tea and lemon peel served with Fever Tree Lemon Tonic – Cleopatra’s drink of choice, ruby red Hibiscus tea is paired with fruity blackberries for a divine blend of sweet and sour; Cinnamon, clove and vanilla served with Fever Tree Classic – warming and uplifting, the soft, creamy flavours of vanilla are spiced up with aromatic cloves and cinnamon; Rosebuds served with Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic – reminiscent of an English garden on a summer’s day, the delicate notes of rose are given a rich, dry edge with the addition of elderflower essence; Pink pepper and orange peel served with Fever Tree Classic – the kick of spiced pink pepper is sweetened with a citrus orange peel, and garnished with an orange twist. I was pleased to be invited to the bar for a tasting and did my best to work my way through this drinks list “tough job but …” right? and especially liked that cinnamon and clove number and thought the pepper and orange peel mix to be a particularly fantastic ensemble. Priced at £15 each, all were refreshing and worth a taste. New cocktails or not, I found The Polo Bar to be an exceptional venue for quality sips. Bar snacks were ace loved the foie gras and the panko crusted prawns! and service was delightful and prompt. Upscale and low key, the bar is conveniently centred between Bond Street, Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus stations yet removed just enough from the fray to allow for decompression. With Art Deco inspired designer interiors with Swarovski and Fendi details, it’s a swish spot to keep in mind whether you’re mingling to impress or simply hoping to unwind in high style. And this just in … another reason to drop in for a drinky drink … earlier this month The Polo Bar won Best Mixology at the 2014 London Club and Bar Awards."

"The first impressions were positive: the table was clean, the position in the conservatory was lovely, and the young lady serving us was friendly and pleasant. However, we experienced a significant wait of about 40 minutes for our food, and out of the six dishes we ordered, two arrived quite cold, clearly having been left to sit while the other dishes were prepared. My partner found her mussels inedible due to their cold temperature and lack of flavor. The other three adults chose a Romanian specialty, which was decent but not particularly special given the high prices. The barmaid kindly removed the mussels from our bill without us having to ask, which we appreciated. I don't believe any of this was a reflection on her service; she was overly charming. It seemed like the kitchen was understaffed, and that was evident in the overall experience."

"My mum and I visited today, we went by most of the cafes on the off chance one of them did a vegan cream tea. This is where we found one! The cafe itself is beautiful, retro but tasteful and the garden is magical and abundant with flowers. The cream tea was delicious, everything was handmade by the chef and the cream was far more delicious than I remember clotted dairy cream to be. The woman who served us was super chatted and helpful (I’m sorry I didn’t catch her name Thanks for having us! Xx"

"Avoid this place like the plague! It’s really disappointing. The atmosphere is non-existent, and the food is just mediocre. The only redeeming quality is that it’s quite inexpensive. However, you’d be better off going to Wetherspoons instead."
