"Most of the staff at the restaurant were fantastic, especially the head waitress and waiting staff. However, the Sommelier was unfriendly. Since I don't drink alcohol, I was only offered a non-alcoholic beer or gin. When I requested a non-alcoholic cocktail, he refused with a heavy sigh and walked away. Throughout the meal, he mostly interacted with my wife, who was drinking wine, and ignored me. It is important for a restaurant that has previously been awarded a Michelin star to have more options and a better attitude towards customers who do not drink. The food was delicious and met the expectations of a high-end restaurant. However, the fixed 6/8 course tasting menu felt outdated and I would have preferred an à la carte option. Despite the rude Sommelier, we had a pleasant evening overall, but perhaps L'Ortolan should reconsider its approach and focus on innovation."

Food and service were excellent. But the interior is really tired and outdated and in need of a renovation.

We came here midweek and had the champagne lunch - 3 courses, appetizer and pre-dessert and a glass of champagne for £35 each.

I've been here several times over the years for special occasions; in a group for a friend's 30th, my 21st birthday and my grandmother's 80th among others.

The food at this restaurant was top-notch and every staff member was delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The only downside is that the place could use a fresh coat of paint.

Fab service I loved the interesting suggestions from the sommelier delightful meal every course was delicious. Really wonderful experience from start to finish I would definitely soften the lighting in the dining room though quite stark when you first walk in.

We had a wonderful evening at the restaurant. The food was excellent, but we were a bit disappointed that we had to pay an extra £5 each to swap the guinea fowl (as we don't eat meat) for the roasted squash that was offered as an alternative to the monkfish. It seemed unnecessary and strange.
