Great lunch with an old friend. Friendly, attentive service, nicely judged lunch menu, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed. Comfortable, impressive room, though as it was a Monday, was a little quiet

Food lovely as before, service the same - professional but friendly, a surprisingly hard balance to get right but they do it really well. The surroundings are beautiful of course, a stunning setting. The value needs to take the above into account, so is not unfair but the champagne trolley is ambitiously priced, as is the wine list. It was also relatively quiet, albeit on a hot summer Saturday, but overall we enjoyed a great deal and would return for sure, perhaps in the evening for more atmosphere.

We go to Berners quite often. The food, ambience and overall experience has always been great. However this time the service went to a whole new level. Our waiter, Tarzam, was excellent. He skilfully hit the optimum in attentiveness and was extremely personable, knowledgeable and friendly. If we could book him again we would!!! :-)

We came here because we had a reservation and then our plans changed, but we didn't want to pay 100 pounds cancellation so we came at 5pm to get some starters - still ended up paying almost 200 pounds. The setting is gorgeous! But we did have some issues with the service. First they didn't ask about allergies and the butter came and it appeared to have some flavor in it since it was darker - we weren't sure if it had nuts in it and it took awhile to ask someone before we could eat it. Turns out it was marmite which we are not allergic to. Then we ordered the filet because we wanted less meat and they accidentally brought us a ribeye. They offered to bring the filet as well, but that would have then been twice as much meat which would have defeated the purpose of trying to eat less meat. So we said we would just eat it. Also we ordered the bernaise sauce and got peppercorn sauce. Then they kept mixing up the sparkling water and the still water. Then the salad was not great, just super bitter lettuce and truffle oil. The lobster mac side was super tiny, but good. the tuna tartar appetizer was very interesting and different. We didn't stay for dessert. But there were only a few tables in there at 5pm so it was surprising that there were so many service errors. Sorry!

What an incredible restaurant/space! The design and decor are absolutely stunning. You’d need to sit in a different place each time so you could take in all of the beautiful art on the walls! Everyone we interacted with was engaged, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was fresh and delicious. I had the cod and my daughter had the filet steak. Both cooked to perfection! Thank you for a lovely evening. We will absolutely be back!
