34 in City of London, Westminster

Siempre es una especie de lotería visitar un restaurante por primera vez con solo las reseñas en línea para pasar. Inevitablemente hay cierto tipo de crítico que le gusta exagerar las meras molestias - e igualmente aquellos que no pueden parecer elogiar el lugar lo suficientemente alto. Por supuesto, tales puntos de vista son siempre subjetivos. En última instancia, tienes que experimentarlo por ti mismo. Me complace informar que mi visita aquí me pareció nada menos que excelente. El restaurante en sí es de buen gusto, el ambiente agradable y el personal genial y eficiente. Visité con un colega temprano un sábado por la noche, en un momento en que el restaurante no estaba tan lleno, aunque ciertamente se había animado para cuando nos fuimos. Es evidente de inmediato que este es un lugar donde se mantienen las normas. Fuimos cálidamente recibidos y rápidamente sentados y el servicio en todo fue formal, pero no dominante. Decidí empezar con un cóctel, optando por uno que no estaba en el menú, pero que debería ser bastante estándar para cualquier asistente de la coctelería - un simple mojito. Encuentro que esto siempre es una buena prueba de competencia. Sin duda fue muy bueno, aunque no el mejor que he tenido. Nuestros entrantes eran más prometedores - la burrata Pugliese y la calabaza y ricotta ravioli respectivamente. El ravioli fue una revelación - absolutamente delicioso y muy moreish. Nuestras principales fueron el pincho de cordero cornualles glaseado y el pollo rotisserie Suffolk - ambos de primera categoría (ver fotos). Con un poco de espinacas y mucho pan, todo estaba muy bien presentado y cocinado a la perfección y creo que posiblemente se encuentre entre los mejores alimentos que he comido. El postre simplemente tenía que ser el famoso tiramisú eclair, que había visto fotos de mi investigación en este mismo lugar. Ahora, soy un conocedor del tiramisú, como mis numerosas contribuciones en esta plataforma sin duda testificarán -por lo que la elección fue realmente un no-. Los rellenos entubados, la construcción de dos pisos y la delgada capa rectangular de chocolate con un toque de pan de oro en la parte superior, se ven espectaculares en cuanto a presentación (ver fotos). Si bien era absolutamente delicioso, carece de ese auténtico sabor tiramisú. Pero eso es sólo un pequeño truco. La factura final llegó a poco menos de 175 libras para dos, con bebidas, y observo el habitual cargo por servicio 'discrecional', en este caso la friolera de 13 . 5%, que es lo más alto que he encontrado. Pero, por supuesto, el costo no es realmente una consideración si elige comer aquí. Como ex gerente de hospitalidad, aprecio el buen servicio y lo encontré completamente eficiente y profesional en todo momento. La mesa fue despejada con prontitud, y todas las solicitudes fueron debidamente atendidas, lo que hizo que pareciera como si nos estuvieran cuidando constantemente. Nuestro servidor (Wilmer? ) fue muy atento e informativo durante todo el tiempo e hizo toda la velada sin fisuras, de modo que no se trataba solo de la comida sino de la experiencia general. Mi colega y yo ya estamos discutiendo nuestro regreso. Pulgares rotundos, arriba. Muy recomendable.

Deliciosa toda la comida, ordenamos de olato fuerte filete y sirlon con sus acompañamientos, ensalada y postre. Excelente servicio, comida y presentacion

Nice experience as usual. Food was good, my ribeye was a pretty thin cheap cut…

Great Service & the food was outstanding Due to return.

The food was very good and the service professional. We enjoyed the atmosphere. It was friendly and enjoyable.

Overall a nice experience. Great place for business lunch

Mauvais ! Même un double cheeseburger est raté , trop cuit mauvais. Le service est pathétique. Et c’est cher ! Plus jamais

Awful today and so disappointed. Been a couple of times and thought to take my family for an 80th birthday. Service was slow and the food really not very nice. Steaks tasted awful and the Sunday Roast? The potatoes and Yorkshire pudding totally inedible and the meat either over done or tough. Also waiter managed to spill food all down one of the parties jacket . They did apologise and took things off the bill and are paying for dry cleaning but we were so upset and disappointed as it was supposed to be a special occasion and it was ruined. Left upset and kids had to get them something to eat on the way home. Shame, used to be lovely!

Excellent food and service, the food quality always impresses. Highly recommend

Lamb and sweet potato were excellent. Staff is well versed in knowledge of allergies and preparation. Loved the food and experience of the group.

Great value for money. Steak was cooked to perfection. Sides are all delicious. Highly recommend.

Great service , great atmosphere but above all else fantastic food . Will be back

Este lugar fue muy recomendable por un buen amigo mío y por supuesto, escucho a mi amigo. Fui a cenar allí. La comida salió fría. La camarera nunca apareció en la mesa después de tomar el pedido, e incluso le contamos al chico del autobús sobre el problema la única vez que la camarera regresó fue después de que todo terminó y la única vez que realmente vi a la camarera de nuevo fue cuando cargó a mi tarjeta de crédito de todos modos un servicio horrible comida horrible, no sé por qué la gente recomendaría este restaurante, pero yo digo que no solo ir a McDonald’s y tomar una hamburguesa ...

One of my favourite restaurants in London, food and service is impeccable.

Great as always. Good food, drinks and service. The cigar menu is great.

Thank you nothing to say all the restaurants is good

Sat on the terrace as it was a beautiful day, it’s more peaceful outside than inside the restaurant. Food was delicious as usual.

The steak we had was satisfactory, although the salt was applied excessively. The service was quite attentive, and overall, the experience was above average but not exceptional.

Great lunch and excellent value for a 3 course would definitely recommend and be back

Celebrating mine and 4 other friends birthday we had the most fantastic time. We were given an excellent round table which was perfect for us all to talk. Our service, food and drink was outstanding. Four out of six of us ate from the lunch set menu which is excellent value . We highly rate this restaurant and my friends, their families and I will definitely be back . Highly recommend

The food was good but our table wasn’t the best for 5 people one of us was sitting with no one in front !! when I asked for a round table they said no but the restaurant was half empty , very disappointed .

We had a nice time here. Food was great and staff were so friendly.

Not as good as in the past. Caesar salad blah, chicken was dry as cardboard. Champagne and wine pours very small for the money.

Muy acogedor en la puerta. Personal muy educado y profesional. Nuestro comienzo era delicioso, sin embargo no pida la lubina, ya que estaba seco, insípido. Presentación pobre, valor pobre. Considere otro lugar en el área.

We enjoyed the venue , the location, the ambience , the food was delicious , everything was perfect . Most of all the staff was very welcoming , helpful and professional.

Excellent food and service. Staff was attentive but not overbearing.

Perfection Best New York Strip this side of the pond

Great venue and delicious food for all occasions with friendly and attentive staff

Absolutamente excelente comida y servicio hecho sentir especial desde el momento en que pasamos por las puertas no podría ser mejor sin duda visitaremos la próxima vez en Londres

Front doorman and hosts were so pleasant and delightful. But our waitress (long dark braid) was so rude and an absolute brat. I understand that wait staff in other countries (she was not from the UK) are allowed to get away with things that are not typical in other places, but I’ve never experienced anything like her. The food was great (crab, steak, etc), but she honestly ruined our last night in London. I expected our experience to be similar to what we have enjoyed all across the UK the past two weeks.

It was very special, service was great. Rita that was in charge for our table was amazing, really highly appreciated, we had a very nice small conversation. Rib eye was delicicious and we really enjoyed it. Desert were also good, I ordered tiramisu eclair which was special, but not as real tiramisu I am used to try. We were for a special occasion and I asked in advance to take care for details which was done perfectly. I would recommend it.

Great as usual best steak try the NY strip it slides liks butter

I ordered a filet steak which was not up to a standard of filet in terms of quality, and was tough and hard to chew. I didn’t want to escalate it because of my guests, but made the complaint to the waitress. She said she will inform the Chef but never came back to me. We left after having a coffee and paid the bill.

Lovely service and excellent food. Lunch was Caesar salad and steak frites. Both were great. Particularly tender steak for the price.

We booked this restaurant for our 40th wedding anniversary. The welcome was fine once we had pointed out we were booked into the restaurant and not attending the private event upstairs as the doorman assumed. The table was nice if somewhat cramped, and taking of drinks and food orders was prompt, albeit a bit persistent, as we wanted time to relax and enjoy the occasion. The pre dinner cocktails were excellent and the starters were delicious. We did however encounter issues with our mains, with my wife being given cabbage rather than the crispy potatoes she ordered (they did replace them but only after we pointed the mistake out) and the peas and carrots side being provided without spoons to serve them with (again corrected only once we pointed the lack out). My halibut tranche had lots of small bones as well as the main one I had been expecting and wasn’t that enjoyable to eat as a result. My wife’s lamp chop was nicely cooked but not exceptional. In fairness, the restaurant took all of the sides, including my fries which were excellent, off the bill without promoting and they gave us a wonderful sorbet and chocolate plate for the occasion, so overall a nice enough evening but not to the high standard I expected, given my previous experience there.

Very enjoyable evening. Food and service was great

34 Mayfair provides good food and professional service. The ambiance is friendly and of good standing

Food and service were wonderful. We would recommend and definitely come again.

Food was okay so I’ll give it a three. Should have given it one star for the rude hostess that was there at 5pm when we first came in. There was literally only one table filled I asked for a table by the window and she refused because those are for guests with 6 people. NO ONE WAS IN THE RESTAURANT. They crammed us next to the only people sitting in the restaurant. We are and spent about a little over an hour there and only one man walked in and went to the bar. Instead of catering to non existent guests maybe make sure the people that bothered to come to the restaurant are happy. Do better. We definitely won’t be back.

Amazing customer service with the best Sunday Roast in London!

Great dining experience from when we walked through the door to our departure.

The food was delicious; the ambiance and service were spectacular!!!

Love 34 Am still recovering from major surgery and was very pleased to be given a lovely round table facing the chefs Thank you to all who made this happen We had two cocktails to start which was excellent and good value. This was followed by the excellent Sunday roast. Cooked to perfection and the vegetables knocking cauliflower cheese the best . On arrival we were given excellent choice of. bread. We decided to try the house red wine which was very good and recommend. We finished with the pavlova deser Ovsrsll excellent , great service and look forward to returning . Thank you 34

This is my 5th time dining at this restaurant and it never disappoints. The food here is amazing!

Our best meal in London! Loved the drinks menu. Great food and service in a lively atmosphere. Steak was delicious. Classy, but not stuffy. Highly recommend!

Service is rushed do to over booking. Tables are uncomfortably close to each other. Noise levels are deafening. Shame what has happened to this restaurant. It is all about how many people can they get in and out in the shortest time. The food is average, nothing spectacular. Guests are loud and they are trying hard to make a statement. It is becoming an expensive version of the Hard Rock Cafe. Pity. Was once an outstanding restaurant.

Wonderful food, wonderful service. Thoroughly enjoyed the jazz trio that was playing on Friday night 

We dined at 34 on Sunday evening on the terrace in the sunshine , what an absolute treat ! We have visited many times before and have always been delighted. We received a very warm welcome from Tiziano Frau,Assistant General Manager, his attention to detail and customer satisfaction is exceptional, he is always willing to check all is ok and have an informal chat. Marco greeted us with our usual Negronis, and a fabulous Welcome! We have to say, you won’t find a better Negroni better than those ! To sum up, we highly recommend 34 as all boxes regarding Delicious Food, Superb Wines & Cocktails and Ambience are most definitely ticked!!! Can’t wait to go back !

Rather surprised to read the mixed reviews. We went as a party of three on a Thursday night. Firstly the dining room, it is stunning, warm and buzzing - 34 Mayfair was packed. The service was swift, polite, professional and nothing was too much to ask. The food was fantastic, we had seafood starters and meat mains and everything was very well executed. The only downside would be the rather punchy, in terms of price, wine list. All in all a great evening and we will go back!

Poor service, food quality has changed a lot

We went for Father’s Dad and it was perfect. Food delicious great ambience and staff very attentive. Will defin be going back

The food was very good, but the services was absolutely impeccable. I should have asked my waiter for his name. I'll be back.

Fantastic restaurant. Great food and service. Highly recommended.

This is a great place, the food is flavoursome and the decoration is art deco warm and cosy Service is good, professional. We disputed a dish as it was not our taste and not as expected, it was removed from the bill and desserts were offered, classy. Thank you very much. W I do recommend this place and I almost forgot the wine list is also very good.

I am a regular diner at 34. It’s a firm favourite restaurant of mine and my family.

This evening I had the unfortunate experience of dining at 34 Mayfair, and I can confidently say it was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Despite the promising ambiance and interesting menu, the service and staff were beyond disappointing. From the moment we walked in, it felt as though the staff seemed more interested in getting us rushed to finish up and leave the restaurant without any real attention being paid as to whether we were still eating, finishing our drinks or had had looked at the bill 30 seconds after putting it on the table. Our waiter didn’t seem to have a thorough understanding of the menu despite knowing that I have coeliac disease and cannot have gluten. While the initial service seemed overly attentive and rushed, the staff's lack of knowledge and attention to dietary restrictions was alarming. We did specify gluten free when we booked and it became clear that the staff either did not understand or did not take my request seriously. It quickly turned into a nightmare due to their negligent handling of dietary restrictions. I am extremely careful about avoiding gluten, but this restaurant's carelessness put my health at serious risk. The critical failure occurred when I was served sorbet with a biscuit on top that was not gluten-free. This level of negligence is unacceptable and dangerous for anyone with a serious allergy or dietary restriction. I rarely leave reviews, but the experience at 34 Mayfair was so poor that I felt compelled to warn others. There are plenty of other restaurants in London where you can enjoy a meal with pleasant service and good food. Save your time and money and avoid them at all costs This level of negligence is unacceptable and dangerous for anyone with a serious allergy or dietary restriction

Great food and excellent service by our waitress (Spanish ) and the manager was very helpful

Excellent from starters through main course. Great, attentive service. Great lunch. I have dined here multiple times and will return.

I order a fish as main meal and was salt for me. Desert as well very sweet.

It was a good experiences thank you so much , recommended for it

Worst steak I’ve ever had. I don’t usually write review

I have visited this restaurant 34 times, and the food has always been incredible. However, on this particular occasion, the experience was marred by poor service. One of the waiters accidentally dropped food on one of my guests. Unfortunately, the way this issue was handled was far from satisfactory. The staff's response was inadequate, and it significantly impacted our overall dining experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed my Thursday night at 34. Soft jazz and champagne to accompany great food. My steak was excellent and my guests cod and asparagus looked divine. Attentive and helpful staff and a great buzzy atmosphere. Will return soon.

Food was very good. There was a table of very loud men who made the meal much less enjoyable. We were seated some distance from them. We and others complained as the noise permeated the restaurant.

The food took a lot of time to arrive and it was not cooked properly

Arrived for dinner about 6.30 as planned… far too many staff hovering around us… made it feel like they wanted to turn the table which I don’t think in the end we the case. I found the wine list notable expensive in comparison to other similar restaurants and what I meant by that is that some specific wines were 50% more than in other restaurants in London that I have eaten ate recently. The table was also cramped when all the sides were put down. Would I go back…if someone invited I would go, would I choose it over another place… probably not if I am selecting

Great food, service and atmosphere on a Friday night with the live jazz playing. Thanks !

Bad food and too noisy place , i don’t recommend the steak at all

Amazing food and service. 34 Mayfair never disappoints.

Instead of dinner, I tried coming here for lunch this time and unsurprisingly, I was not disappointed. The staff is one of the kindest we’ve encountered in London. I do prefer the dinner menu to the lunch menu but the quality is of course just as high.

This place is never a disappointment. Service staff is exceptional and always has a smile on their face. They know their food and are able to give great recommendations. The tuna starter and cod as a main is perfection - and I do mean absolute perfection - so definitely try it when you go here.

Very nice evening - good food, good service and live jazz session a welcome bonus

It was fine until desert. We ordered apple pie and custard. But when it arrived they had brought us clotted cream. The time it took to get someone’s attention and then for them to bring custard meant the apple pie’s were at best Lukewarm. The manager kindly took them off the bill.

From the moment we walked in and were pleasantly greeted by the hostess through the end of the meal, the entire staff of 34 Mayfair (especially Andre our waiter) gave my family a dining experience to remember. We were slightly worried due to some negative reviews, but we are so glad we went and enjoyed our meal. From Ceviche, Tuna crudo, and Shrimp to perfectly prepared Chateaubriand and filet with perfect sauce accompaniments and potatoes. Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. The desserts were a great finale to the meal. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

excellent table, fantastic service . We had the brunch which was excellent value at 2 courses for £34 and included chooce of bellini. We also had two glasses of champagne at £9 each. We ended our meal with the delicious easter egg desert. Our meal was cooked to perfection. The service received was excellent. Overall cannot rate highly enough and look forward to returning. Highly recommend to all .

Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit

Chateaubriand lived up to the hype, just to note it’s only available in the evening. But the chef and the waiter made a special exception for us on Easter Sunday and it was sublime. Service was top notch, lovely and attentive.

Super staff, great vibe, food that hits the spot, try the duck salad as a starter…awesome

Brilliant quality. Love this restaurant. Never fails

The Argentinian Steak and the shrimp Mac & cheese!!! Outstanding

Somewhat overpriced á la carte (£52 for a Dover Sole easily mistaken for a sardine) though the brunch menu offers superb value for money. The tables are far too small and the service whilst well meaning is haphazard but the room makes up for that with its built in ambiance. The restaurant seems to be catering to a foreign audience rather than the indigenous uk market. I didn’t understand chocolate cake in the bread basket but presumably others get it. Marvellous fluffy pancakes with maple syrup and bacon 🥓 (a suburb American invention that shouldn’t work but does - I added blueberries - no idea why they weren’t included).

We had a wonderful dinner. Steak was cooked to perfection and had rich flavor. I did not care for my first drink and they kindly took it and made me something different. The dessert was super good as well. Great finish to our meal.

Drinks took 45 mins but steak was good. They tried to rush us as well. Nice ambiance

34 is a lovely restaurant in Parklane . Food and service is very good and smokers can sit outside, where there is heating and enjoy their cıgars or cigarettes.Menu is balanced with sea food and meat choices and quite few deserts to choose from.There ia also quite an extensive wine and drinks menu

I have many reasons that’s make me uncomfortable with. This restaurant (opposite than all my previous visit to 34 restaurant) First the waiter(his name welma) was not professional at all I reached 9:55pm and my reservation at 10 pm he forced me to place the order within 5min (he said kitchen will close so why you should give me a table ??????at 10pm )in addition he put his hand on the chair, over all he is not respecting at all ,then he called his manager unfortunately the manger was with his side indirect (unprofessional ) Second the food was not good at all specially the lamb shoulder was cold ,dry and hard . To be honest with you the food and staff in 34 Mayfair shouldn’t be changed before it was really nice and tasty food furthermore the staff before was lovely,5 star restaurant opposite than now I highly disappointed will never visit again.and definitely I will share with family my experience .

Super venue for a business lunch - delicious food and the set menu was great value

Super service - tasty food - great vipe and nice ambience

Two wines on the list were not available and the one I eventually chose (more expensive) was actually not that wonderful. But overall it was still a good night.

The food is good, did require a bit of extra seasoning (salt pepper etc.). The staff are nice but it is sometimes hard to get their attention to order. Atmosphere was nice.

Excellent Sunday brunch - we had the roast whhch was cooked to perfection, delicious and great choice of vegetables. Fantastic choice of cocktails and we treated ourselves to excellent vintage bottle of fine wine on offer . Delighted with table as recovering from operstion needed roomy safe table and one given was perfect The service from everyone was outstanding. 34 Sunday brunch is the best and look forward to returning again. Highly recommend

had a really lovely time and the service was excellent, will definitely be coming back!!

Madame Maddalena Leflaive , Madame Raquel Bollinger et Madame Valentina La Tache are truly Tres Flores and the service par excellence, the food divine and the wine sommelieringly curated and recommended makes 34 a perfect place to wine and dine and not have to whine! Under each of their watchful and beautiful eyes and with all the staff pleasant and joyful with great sense of humour, it’s a place that proves the old adage…that “laughter is the best medicine”

Amazing food and splendid variety of drinks, especially wines.

Starters were fine. Main courses very average and expensive. In particular the Wagyu dish contained more bread than meat (though cost £80!).

The food is excellent and the ambience is amazing.

Unfortunately I wasnt impressed with the quality of food. The burger was plain. It was meant to come with bacon but didn’t, only had the burger and a slice of lettuce, no sauce!! We had to get the 2 course brunch so also had pancakes which were inedible and raw. However, the restaurant itself was nice and the staff were so lovely so I think we were just unlucky as we went on the release day of the new brunch menu

Where to start…overall the food is good and the atmosphere is chic. However, the manager is one of the rudest people I’ve ever encountered. Everything was going fine until we had finished our mains and were waiting for the dessert menu when a manager approached the table and told my mum that we actually couldn’t have dessert because the other booking had arrived…when we were shocked and clearly confused he told us that we could have our desserts at the bar. I was very confused as our reservation was at 19.30 which, according to opentable’s policy, meant we had the table for 2 hours. At this point it was not even 21.00. So, having checked this I got visibly upset and asked him to explain this, to which obviously he could not and began saying things like “yes I know but”… are you kidding me? Oh also, the table next to us who had been sitting there before we even got there was not told this. So I told him it’s the policy and you are required to follow this. Seeing how upset we became and understanding his mess up he retracted and left for a bit. I then asked for the man’s name and seeing that he came back with a box of chocolate? (The audacity!!). I told him I was not leaving until 21.30 and he began apologizing telling me I was right (?) in the end he brought us the dessert menu and with the bill brought us his business card…yeah I’m speechless- as if I’d ever go back lol. He also told my mum that next time we should call him so we can stay all evening. So I guess the lesson is that don’t go if you don’t want to ruin your evening dealing with an embarrassment of a man who calls himself a manager. Also don’t go if you don’t know a manager and avoid booking via OpenTable because clearly you won’t get the same treatment. TERRIBLE.

Lovely food, fantastic service. Attentive staff and food arrived very fast.

Attention to detail is great and good experience I will be returning

Not somewhere I would go back to. Overpriced for the level attained.
