Booked an afternoon tea for a friend’s special birthday. I filled out the form on the website and got an email response saying the Wine Lounge wasn’t available but the Eastway Brasserie was available. We had a wonderful visit on Sunday afternoon. Attentive service, lovely teapot and cups and great food. I had also pre specified dietary requirements as part of my email exchange (vegetarian, gluten free and lactose free) and they took all of that into account in the food served.

Very unimpressed. To book afternoon tea you are advised to email your request. No one answers the phone at all. I emailed last Friday to book for afternoon tea on Monday afternoon. I still had no response on Monday despite calling every department. Eventually I spoke to the central booking office who emailed the restaurant on my behalf. I did get a response then. Upon arrival no one had any idea of my booking. We had to wait in another restaurant for over 20 minutes until the manager came over. She said she hadn’t received my email and as I had sent it on Friday and emails are not answered over the weekend mine was, her words, “bottom of the pile”. A complete contradiction!! Eventually after disappearing for a while she said she could fit us in. Please bear in mind this is a Monday afternoon and the place was half empty. Service was so slow. We waited ages for our drinks to arrive. Then a while later our empty cups arrived. Then the afternoon tea arrived and 20 minutes later the tea turned up! No jam so had to hunt down a waiter to get some. Really very poor service, but the manager didn’t lead by example. We very frequently have afternoon tea and this one was average at best.

I arrived into the venue and found a member of staff standing in front of the bar who made no effort to come and greet me - no problem, I don't want or need a fuss anyway. I approached him and asked if I could take a seat anywhere. Its worth noting at this point besides 2 tables the venue is empty. I get a smile and so choose a table to sit at... no, not that table as I'm not eating. No problem I'll go to the peasants half and choose another seat. No, not there either. The member of staff points to a seat I should sit, still not saying much. I sit down and after waiting over 10 minutes (empty venue!), I finally get asked what I would like to drink, so choose a glass of Hungarian red. The drink arrives promptly enough, but the glass is coated in thick, hard dust and has markings on it. I have never done this before and felt embarrassed to do so, but not only did I send it back, I walked out of the restaurant. Truly appalling service and no surprise to see the place empty, it was my first try and I'll certainly not bother again.

First time time visit for afternoon tea. Service really let it down ! This was a treat I paid for as I work hard in the NHS so needed some pampering ! Where to start we were shown to our table and basically just left sitting there ! We were asked if we wanted champagne first or tea the champagne arrived and we were again just left until the tea showed up . That was the service no asking if everything was OK ' no do you need anything? Not 5 star at all . A party of 4 turned up next to us and there were 2 servers around them just because they were ordering items and not doing the package afternoon tea which was obvious ! We were made to feel like uninportant guests ! Ruined my afternoon treat and when leaving asked for the waitress who served us and was told oh she's gone home now but you can give me the tip I'll pass it onto her ! Shocking .......so upset .

Came here for afternoon tea which was on offer for £45 for 2 with a bottle of Prosecco. Cannot fault the food and service. Amazing cakes and sandwiches and lovely crockery. Service was also very warm and friendly. HOWEVER the the ambience and the surroundings were not very nice. It was in the entrance/hallway to the venue. Dull and dark and boring - unlike the photos. Definitely not a 5star experience in that respect but the food was outstanding.

This place is great if you want to have a business breakfast (what we had). The food is nothing special: very basic buffet with normal stuff (TBH this is what you could find in any hotel buffet for breakfast). Super overpriced for what it is! However, one thing that was great is that one could talk without having to shout over each other. Tables are not next to each other like other restaurants, so you can have a good degree of privacy to talk about business. Also the music is not loud which is great when you want to concentrate on important topics on the table. And the tables are of good size so we could put a laptop, notebooks and other devices on the table. Great service too! Staff is always on top of things there. Ideal for a business breakfast, but definitely not for the food.

It's disappointing that their is only a buffet and an extra charge for a la carte. We didn't want a full buffet breakfast and therefore paying £69 inc service for 2 people was somewhat excessive for 4 coffees, scrambled eggs and smoked salmon and a salmon bagel. Used to be a regular here before the refurb but won't be back for breakfast in a hurry!!

Saturday night around 9pm huge room very empty of people, that may be the city on a weekend I suppose. Rather cold. Service slightly over the top but thats not really a criticism. Food very average apart from a very nice amuse bouche and rather a good pudding. Cold dishes were served straight from the fridge. Wine list very expensive, over all paid far too much for an ok meal.

Been to this restaurant for a drink before but never to eat. The room is spectacular and the tables are very generously spaced meaning its not noisy and you can speak with clients/colleagues with confidence. The food and choice of wines were spectacular and the service was excellent too. The bill was fairly large by the time we had a bottle of wine and an after meal drink but well worth it in my opinion. I eat out an awful lot and was really impressed with this restaurant.

Booked here for my partners bday. We had brunch before a day out in the city. The service was fantastic and we had both buffet and off menu options. We enjoyed an unhurried meal, spending around 2 hours in the restaurant in total! The staff were attentive in bringing more tea and coffee. The buffet was delicious and the pancakes also amazing. It's pricey at £26 per head plus service charge, but worth the price tag for being in London, the service, beautiful surroundings (in an old Masonic temple) 'all you can eat' element and the tastiness of it all! Lovely for a special treat - we certainly didn't feel hungry for the rest of the day either!

Exquisite food and a fantastic environment. 1901 really is a treat. I've been going for some time using a £15 deal that they were offering but sadly they have now stopped it and the price for the à la cart menu is too much for a regular lunch.

I love the peaceful and comfortable atmosphere that here and that it is therefore easy to talk - unlike all the brasseries around about which are so noisy. I usually both have the British Bento box. It is sort a mini tasting menu and just lovely. It makes for a lovely (not heavy) lunch. Even the bread and butter is fab with special flavours for both. Service is very attentive but not in your face. Lovely, thank you again and again.

We really enjoyed our dinner at 1901 at Andaz. The food was exquisite, with the added bonus of a surprise amuse bouche before our starter, and a surprise palate cleanser before dessert, making the 3-course set menu seem to be five courses. The service was excellent, just the right balance between being attentive, but not disturbing us too frequently. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful setting, with large domed glass roof, - spectacular. Highly recommended!

My table was booked for 11:30. We got there 7 minutes late due to a train delay. As soon as my and my partner sat down, a waitress informed us theyre closing the morning buffet and the room in "15minutes". Why have an 11:30 slot, that I fail to understand. A waiter moved us next door to a far less glamorous room where they sat us next to a window overlooking a building site... The service from one of the female waiters was insulting. We couldnt leave as we booked 1901 2months in advance. A male waiter took over her role as i was extremely unsatisfied with the overall service. The male waiter was much better in terms of being more friendly and ordering the correct meal. Having poor service, we still had to pay a service charge though having horrendous service at the Lverpool St. branch in London. These are my main reasons why I wouldnt dare to reccommend 1901 to anybody.

Went for a family meal and we all had the 3 courses for £26. Food was really nice - I had salmon to start and sea bass for main., both cooked to perfection. I especially liked the bread and butter - which was whipped. I had icecream for dessert which was noting special but my Mum and sister had panacotta which they raved about. My boyfriend and Dad also really like their choices. The venue is amazing - nice domed window at the top and a nice atmosphere.. Overall it was a very relaxing evening.

I went for dinner with a friend and we had the two courses for £26 with free dessert. We both had the salmon - which was a cooked piece of salmon and the lamb.. both which were divine and well presented! I paid a bit extra and opted for cheese and biscuits. The restaurant is beautiful setting and it was fairly quiet when we got there so made it easy to chat. It is just behind Liverpool Street station a a little jem hidden away and so worth a visit

This is a lovely 'hidden' restaurant. Not publicised from the street or well known. It is very grand inside, a beautiful large room. I believe it was the old ballroom in the old South Eastern hotel. Service is very traditional and professional. We had the Open Table set menu (2 courses for £26 with complimentary desert). Only a choice of 3 starters (one meat, one fish, one veggie) and similarly 3 main courses to choose from. But they are exquisitely presented with unusual flavour combinations. A really amazing experience. I have been here a number of times with guests and they have always been impressed and excited by the food. Wine is not cheap, with the basic house type wines still at around £30+ a bottle. Well worth a visit.

Typically, a business lunch over runs. Take into consideration the time it takes to select your order. Remove that because here you have an exquisite set lunch that includes 4 delicious dishes. The staff doesn't pressure to order a'la carte. You get your lunch. And then remove the time faffing for the bill. If you are with friends that like bills split, you don't have to spend long debating how much each as the set menu is £15. Simple. If you are with Business people and you have to pay. It is outstanding value.

This was my wife's birthday dinner and we were joined by our daughter for the meal. My wife was attracted to two dishes on the starter menu and the restaurant obliged with turning the beef carpaccio into a main course for her. The menu is attractive by not being too long and complicated and the dishes served had balanced flavours. My wife had the duck terrine to start which by all accounts was delicious. My daughter had the parsnip soup, which she enjoyed and I had the lemon sole, which was light a starter as I was looking for. My daughter had the beef main course and I had the lamb, both of which were delicious. We had the Malbec from the wine list, which was good.<br />The ambience in the room was what I had hoped for. I am hard of hearing but a table in the corner of the room suited us fine. The decor really makes the room and the coloured glass in the cupola is a sight to behold. All in all a very agreeable environment. This is not a cheap restaurant but overall I felt it was reasonable value for money and certainly not out of line with what one is expected to pay in Central London these days. The service was quiet and efficient but also friendly, which made for a good evening. I would go again.

First the positives: fit-out and service. They've done a great job adapting the grand space to feel regal but still modern, warm and comfortable. The service was seamless and discreet, just as it should be. The by-the-glass wine selection was good. The food itself was technically strong but, taken together as a meal, too rich and heavy. They even managed to make the smoked fish amuse bouche so rich I had to reach for my water glass. Overall it was good but felt like it was trying a bit too hard to emulate Dinner by Heston to count as great.

If you like to nibble at different things I would certainly recommend the fast track lunch. It may not fill everyone up but was more than enough for me and my group especially coupled with bread.

A mid week lunch outing. The restaurant is in a beautiful setting, a huge room (the old ballroom) with a domed ceiling. We were warmly greeted and shown to a table in the central area of the room. Comfy chairs a bit low for me, but once you are in your OK. We ordered pre-lunch glasses of wine. That's what we got !!. None of the usual nibbles... a bit surprising at £15 per glass. I'd requested the a la carte in the booking. We were asked by the waiter if we wanted the rapid lunch.. I said no, the tasting menu with wine pairing. Thirty minutes later we were revisited and asked if we were ready to proceed ?. Yes, that's fine. The tasting menu please ?.<br />Sorry we don't serve that at lunchtime !! Oh dear, what have I let us in for ? ... anyway the headman went away, came back and said we can. Can you send us the Sommelier to discuss the wines ? sorry not on at lunchtime ... after some prompting the headman took charge and served us the wine throughout lunch. I have to say it was very enjoyable. Some memorable dishes, the fish and beef courses excellent. The wine matching was good some surprises not what you would have selected yourself but it all worked well. The wine portions were generous and we both new we had drunk "an adequate sufficiency" by the time we had finished the last glass. A very fine Madeira. On reflection a venue for a business meeting lunch. If you want the best service go in the evening.

Excellent taster menu, beautifully presented and well served. Can't really fault anything about the whole gastronomic experience. Had read at least one review about poor service but we found all staff very professional and attentive without being intrusive.<br /><br />Probably won't go again but this is absolutely no reflection on 1901 itself, it's just that there are so many other restaurants to experience in London. Might give the Weekend Brunch at Eastway which is also part of Andaz a try.

We arrived early, my wife had to go to the toilet and I was shown to my table.<br />When my wife entered the restaurant we waited about 5 minutes and then I had to ask someone to take her coat. We needed an elaboration on the set menu and when I asked, I was told that someone would see me in a minute. My wife said not to approach them and see how long it would take before someone came back to us. We waited about 15 minutes and then decided to leave and go elsewhere, because if that was the level of service we were getting when 1901 was not busy, it would only agitate me if it did get busy.<br />I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We booked at the last minute as we wanted to eat out and so many places were full.<br />Good food and good service.<br />The setting of the restaurant is beautiful in the old ballroom

Grand Victorian dining room with a modern vibe. Welcoming pleasant staff. Excellent menu choices on the festive menu. All the food served was high quality and creatively presented. This was a great choice to get a group together for lunch.

Ambiance for business is excellent. Good space between tables for discussing business. food and service excellent. Not cheap but value for money is great. Would recommend to anyone for a really nice meal experience, whether business or pleasure.

This is a very attractive dining room but the food, although beautifully presented, is disappointing. The dishes are over complicated with combinations of ingredients that don't necessarily work well together. The parsnip veloute which my friend has was incredibly salty, even for him and he loves salt; it would have been inedible for a salt-hater. Overall the service was efficient but the waiters were not very knowledgeable about either the food or the wine.

From arrival the service was exemplary, both our meals were stunning and I would definitely return without hesitation as i need to sample the remainder of the menu.<br />Highly recommended

Service was shocking and a lot of the food bland. I booked because of good reviews but we found the opposite to be true unfortunately. I was horrified when we were questioned by the member of staff for not leaving the OPTIONAL service charge! They were lucky we paid for what we had to be honest. Drinks arrived when we had nearly finished our starters and they weren't even busy. Nobody came to check if everything was OK at any point. <br />NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL.

Great venue and ambiance, and really attentative and friendly service. Food is rather style over substance - think they are trying a bit too hard, but overall I enjoyed 1901.

First thing to mention is the building, wow! One of the nicest buildings I have ever eaten in. The seats and the tables offer great comfort in an amazing environment. <br /><br />To add to the environment there was also a live sax player wondering around the restaurant playing and there were candles lit all over the restaurant which made it romantic. It's a great place to take your partner which is what I did.<br /><br />The food is fine dining so the portions are small but very tasty and well presented.<br /><br />We had 2 courses for 25 pound which was good value and they provided bread for free.<br /><br />The service was a little slow and laid back but everyone was friendly and polite.<br /><br />I'd highly recommend 1901, me and my girlfriend had a great night.

A Real treat - Have been here on many occasions. - They alwyas serve up something unusal. They did not dissapoint. <br />The open-table offer was well worth £24 <br />They even provided a pre-starter. Great selection of locally resourced seasonal food. <br />Cocktails were fun but not cheap.

This really is a superb restaurant with a grand fin-de-siecle ambience. The menu is not huge but that does't matter as the quality of the British sourced food and the presentation can't be faulted. We began with cocktails prepared at the central bar and progressed to the a la carte menu. The combinations of ingredients is innovative & imaginative but not pretentious and works really well. Attention to the diners is thorough but not intrusive, and there are nice touches such as the little slates of foie gras and pineapple that arrived while we were enjoying the cocktails. It *is* expensive but you get what you pay for and it compares well with other dining venues of similar quality in the West End. Highly recommended for a special occasion.

Cocktails were definately a big item here, the bar was a focus of the tables and interesting to watch the preparation and enjoy!<br /><br />The food was great, the three of us enjoyed each of our courses. The service here was the very best we experienced out of four excellant restaurants we sampled during our stay. It's a small thing I know but I do drink a lot of water and I never once had to ask to be topped up, it was only a jug of water which made it all the more commendable. We will definitely return to this very well run venue. <br /><br />Thanks to all the staff in attendance, they worked well as a team, a job very well done.

I used this 1901 at Andaz for business dinner. My friend recommend me as good location in the City London and established atmosphere. We ordered various dishes, starter, main fish and meat. We enjoyed modern stylish dishes with keen edge atmosphere.

Wonderful dining experience . The building is exquisite and the dining chairs practically armchairs, and tables good distance apart. Good and service both exceptional. One of the best restaurants in<br />London

Booked for a 9am breakfast meeting with a v important client, meet a greet was fine, room is impressive, nice atmosphere. My clients asked for my reservation in my name and were shown to an entirely different table. I had to wonder around and ask guests if it was them, I found them about 20 mins later. Service was non existent, they gave us menus but never came back to take an order. So after waiting for 40+ mins we went to the buffet. The food selection was good (if a little over priced). After a small bowl of cereal, we were asked if we had had enough as they were starting to pack up the buffet at 10am, I said definitely not, from this point forward we were hassled through our breakfast. Sadly felt obliged to pay 12.5% service charge

Great location for a business lunch as it is a big airy quiet room with tables well spaced out. Food is good, but not great. Tries hard but doesnt fully deliver. Service excellent.

Having dined here before the experience left me disappointed. Beef starter&chocolate dessert were nice but I was very disappointed by my haddock main - the potato on which the fish was served was hard, the sauce extremely sweet (did the cook mix up sugar and salt?) and the dish lukewarm. My guest who also tasted my dish confirmed so not just question of taste. Although I complained & the Spanish waiter said he would pass this onto the chef - no follow-up. My comments were ignored.The waiter was friendly but initially forgot my order,then mixed up the dishes we had ordered&in the end the bill contained a £56 bottle of wine I had never ordered.When I queried he just said: "yes I have given you the bill of the neighbouring table".No apology.

Had a delicious breakfast at the Andaz, the buffet selection is huge. Service maybe not as good as some other 5-star hotels (may be reflected in slightly lower breakfast buffet price of £24), the service was more workmanlike than attentive with too low a staff-customers ratio, but the dining room is beautiful and we enjoyed overall.

Went with the top table offer of 2 courses plus complimentary dessert. I had the pollock as starter and pork as main. The starter was very bland, and pork had odd mixture of flavours. My guest had the beef and haddock which were somewhat better. The desserts were probably the best, but a little too sweet. Everything was beautifully presented and the service, although a little slow despite it being quite quiet, was very friendly.

Nos hemos alojado durante una semana en el hotel Radisson donde se ubica este lounge y lo cierto es que tiene un ambiente muy agradable. Se puede cenar en él, o simplemente tomar algo, y tiene un horario muy amplio, cosa que se agradece cuando regresas de un día de turismo intensivo por la ciudad. Damos las gracias especialmente a Carlos, por su trato siempre amable y atento, lo que sin duda supone un plus a la hora de decidirse de este lugar.

Quedamos muy impresionados con nuestra visita y, aunque la principal consta de una sola habitación, las historias que le contaron a través de los auriculares personales lo hacen muy interesante. El techo es impresionante y repartidos por todo el Salón hay bolsas de frijoles para que pueda relajarse y maravillarse con las elaboradas pinturas. Pasamos casi 3 horas allí y lo disfrutamos a fondo y su historia. Vale la pena una visita.

Paseando por Londres buscando un lugar para tomar un desayuno adecuado, nos topamos con esta joya de café. La señora más encantadora nos sirvió, nada era demasiado problema, creamos nuestros propios desayunos del menú y estaban deliciosos. Todo servido con una sonrisa y una actitud de nada es demasiado problema. ¡Refrescantemente perfecto!
