We had such an amazing time, service was impeccable, food was all fresh, fun and tasty. When the server found out it was my birthday he even came out with a special birthday brownie for me. I booked this months ago, and it was so easy, friendly and well worth the price. Coming from Canada for the first time this made our experience that much better, I can’t recommend this enough!!!!

As always we REALLY enjoyed our visit to Claridge's Reading Room this time for a celebratory luncheon. Service ; impeccable; food superb; wine divine it is far and away our favourite place to eat. Yes coming in at just under £700 for the two of us it's not cheap but then one wouldn't expect it to be 9and we pushed the boat out a bit because it was a big birthday!) If you want cheap go to Macdonald's (I imagine) if you want class, perfection and sheer joy go to Claridge's. We can't wait to return!

Lovely experience with my family at the Rose Lounge on Christmas Day. They offer a vegan tea, that accommodated my daughters, and regular tea for my husband and me. All of the food was delicious. The interior is quite festive and the waitstaff superb. They were thoughtful enough to prepare a birthday treat for me for my birthday, which is on Christmas Day. Excellent!
