    Excellent experience! Waiter was very professional, well informed and engaging. High quality meals nicely presented. My husband and sons really enjoyed the steaks. The tours were interesting and all enjoyed the dessert options. Everyone was pleasant and customer oriented. Made our 30th anniversary celebration memorable.

    One of the best restaurants in the world, steaks are incredible, puddings are amazing and the atmosphere they've created is perfect, dining rooms could be slightly more bright but only a tiny bit, the cosiness of the Harry Waugh room is spot on and having a pianist is the flambé on the Bananas foster of the whole experience

    The experience didn’t live up to the hype, in my opinion. To start, it took nearly 30 minutes to seat us—something I’ve never encountered at any other high-end or Michelin-starred restaurant. It was a disappointing start. Both the drinks and the food took an unusually long time to arrive. While the food was decent, it fell short given the high expectations. When a reservation requires months of planning, I expect impeccable service. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here. As impressive as the wine room is, it wasn’t enough to make up for the slow and underwhelming service. One and done.
