    Everything about Bentley's screams Posh. The decor, the staff, the food presentation screams opulence. Service couldn't have been better - Our waiter was incredible and made us feel right at home as did their entire team. From start to finish, the cocktails, the wine suggested by the sommelier, the food and OMG, our desserts were incredible. The energy level in the restaurant was perfect and really kept the atmosphere lively. In all, the perfect evening, we will be back for sure. Happy to recommend.

    On arriving the staff were very attentive and asked us if we wanted to each outside which as it was a warm evening we sat outside which had a really nice feel to it, heaters and blankets were on hand if a chill came over. there was a great ambience... The starters were great, I had the oysters which were really nice and then fish pie which was delicious... my hubby had the muscles to start with, which was more like a main course , more than enough really to share a starter. He went on to have the fish chips and peas and that supper good.... all went down well with a really nice bottle of wine... but too full for desert. which was a shame as they looked really good.

    Bentleys never disappoints. The food is outstanding, and the wines are top notch. The service is amazing, and the place itself is a bit like a gentlemans club. Its fairly expensive, but I would argue reasonably priced for the quality and service on offer. Highly recommended

    service poor . ordered regent fish pie, something else came. Told a new pie would take 20 minutes , I said that I that I would wait however thankfully a new pie came after 10 minutes. Ordered coffee .Forgot to bring it. Had to remind the waiter. The wine waiter came up to me immediately after giving our order. I asked him for more time to select the wine. .He just walked away saying nothing. Eventually the waitress took my wine choice. Only saw the wine waiter again to top up our glasses. He clearly had a cob on which I do not like and reflex badly on the restaurant . I must say that the female waiters were very pleasant and somewhat remorseful. The wine waiter needs training I must also express my thanks to the management for not charging me for my fish pie and coffee.

    Another really good dining experience at Bentleys - a great place to unwind after a stressful day. Made especially nice by the lovely staff who seem to really care that every aspect of your evening is enjoyable. Apart from the excellent service, the food and drink was delicious with perfectly cooked fish and a lovely bottle of wine.

    Underwhelmed. The food was average, expensive for what it was. Although the restaurant was largely empty, felt that we were constantly being rushed. For a supposed London institution I wouldn't be recommending.
