Beef Wellington. If you want to try a dish that comes from this area, this is the place to go. Wonderful atmosphere, presentation of the dish itself, and most importantly, the taste is phenomenal. The meat is so tender it melts. Please note, it is only served for dinner, not lunch!

I am writing to express my disappointment following a visit to 45 Jermyn Street for breakfast at 9:00 AM on 26 May. Upon arrival, my husband politely asked the hostess for a table for two. Unfortunately, we were met with an attitude that made us feel distinctly unwelcome. The hostess — of average height, wearing her long brown hair down, and speaking with a foreign accent — barely acknowledged us and gestured toward a small table in the corner by the door with a curt, “Sit there by the door in the corner” What struck us most was the stark contrast in how she interacted with other guests. She was notably warmer and more engaging with what appeared to be regular patrons. As first-time visitors, this differential treatment made us feel like outsiders — as though our presence and custom were not valued. We had come on the recommendation of a friend who is a regular at your restaurant, but sadly we left feeling as though we had interrupted a private club rather than enjoyed a welcoming breakfast. The experience was disappointing, and it soured the rest of our time there. We understand that hospitality is a demanding industry, but respectful, courteous service should be extended to all guests, not just familiar faces. It is disappointing to feel overlooked and undervalued in such a highly regarded establishment. Regrettably, we won’t be returning. I hope this feedback prompts some reflection on how new guests are treated, as we genuinely expected better.

After some time, we returned for a pre-theatre meal to see whether the restaurant had returned to form; it had. The first course was listed on the menu as a spring vegetable salad but on the plate and on the eventual bill it was clearly a winter root vegetable salad; if the menu description was not quite right, the dish itself was good, as were the main courses of seabass (grilled) and lamb rump. Portions were substantial but not at the expense of flavours, which were clear and lively throughout. Desserts were also well conceived and executed. The quality made the pre-theatre menu at £49.50 a very attractive proposition. A very disappointing breakfast. (Good) yogurt, granola and fruit came in a bowl hot from the dishwasher; mushroom omelette was so oily/greasy as to be inedible and the replacement avocado with poached eggs was straight-from-the fridge which killed any flavour it might have had; accompanying poached eggs were cold as well. The English breakfast sausages were also oily/greasy, the bacon and black pudding dry, so overall it was adequate but not a pleasure; “sourdough” toast was supermarket bread standard; coffees were good and service was understanding. As others have noted, when the restaurant is busy the acoustics are terrible so one can hardly hear oneself think. We were left with a poor taste in the mouth (in every sense). This used to be good and enjoyable but something has gone badly wrong.

Always a pleasure to dine in such fine comfortable, stylish surroundings and enjoy excellent freshly cooked food. The menu offers a good choice of starter, main course and dessert. Gatelands Farm Calves’ Liver with Onions, Sugar Pit Bacon and mash is consistently the best ever tasted ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ anywhere. The Soufflé, as shown in my 2️⃣ photos is exceptional and difficult 😥 to resist every visit! Finally, the timber revolving entrance door(s) to 45 Jermyn St, has the feeling of a bygone era. It’s wonderful that fine traditional dining can still be enjoyed 😉 in this wonderful restaurant. All staff are always so welcoming, which is a feature anywhere in the Fortnum & Mason establishment.

Amazing. So far our best meal in London. Every time I find a restaurant that serves liver I want to go. And it exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely delicious. And everything else we had was great flavor wise too: the liver with fried onions, lamb, tartare, leeks and peas and the lemon meringue dessert. For the price, the only comment I would have is that entree plates should be warm so the food keeps hot. The lamb was not hot when it arrived. That is why I am rating it 4.

Food was excellent and arrived in good time. The French waiter was very good and polite in navigating the menu and complimentary. Front of house service staff however, was appalling. Expressed clearly I would like to sit outside, when a table was clearly free to migrate too, they replied that it was 'cold outside' and that they were, 'waiting for a reservation'. None of this turned out to be true....

We came here, pretty much exclusively to have some beef wellington, and it did not disappoint. It was delicious and the cooking at the table is a really good watch. It is very filling though, we didn't have a starter and barely made it to dessert. Speaking of dessert, the banana soufflé is out of this world, one the nicest desserts I have ever tried. The texture is unreal. Definitely not a cheap place, but the food does live up to its price.

He estado aquí un par de veces. Siempre un lugar sólido para el buen servicio y la comida. La última vez, sin embargo, tanto mi pareja como yo tuvimos una intoxicación alimentaria por lo que suponemos que fueron las ostras. Estas cosas pasan, lo que fue realmente decepcionante fue el servicio al cliente. Tuve que perseguirlos y escalar para que incluso reconocieran que estábamos enfermos de su restaurante, y no hemos escuchado nada desde entonces, aparte de un correo electrónico. Una verdadera pena que un lugar que solía ser un elemento básico para nosotros no se preocupe por sus clientes, o aparentemente, por la calidad de su comida.

730 abierto en el punto con la puerta de hierro hacia arriba. No es particularmente acogedor y no estoy seguro de por qué no lo abrirían antes y luego comenzarían a servir a las 730. Preguntó por la tortilla como clara de huevo y además de champiñón ( en el menú ingrediente ) pidió cebollas . Cuando el servidor regresó dijo que podían hacer clara de huevo pero no podían hacer cebollas tan lejos del menú. Este no es un restaurante de comida rápida ni un restaurante al azar, así que no estoy seguro de por qué no podrían cortar una pequeña cantidad de cebollas. ¿Tal vez ellos preparan la comida? De todos modos una de las respuestas más ridículas para un llamado restaurante. Estaba vacío en un 75 % un viernes a las 7. 45 am por lo que si la cocina estaba demasiado ocupado me parece muy poco probable como excusa. No volverá

Encontramos esto por casualidad para el desayuno mientras esperaba a Fortnum y Masons para abrir. Me alegro de haberlo hecho, es un edificio precioso con la sensación de 1920 s. Personal muy servicial y profesional nada fue nunca ningún problema. El menú del desayuno era excelente muy buenas opciones. Teníamos inglés completo para mi hijo de 16 años que le encantó todo, mi marido había escalfado huevos en tostadas que le pareció increíble y quedó tan impresionado por la forma del huevo. También tenía guarniciones de salchicha. Tenía huevos revueltos en tostadas y estaba delicioso lo mejor que he tenido tan cremoso y la tostada era excelente también. Los tés y el café se sirvieron con tanta elegancia también. Tengo un gran ambiente Gatsby de todo el edificio que era encantador. Los baños eran los más limpios que he encontrado durante todo el fin de semana largo en Londres, ya que muchos lugares agradables fueron decepcionados por los baños, incluyendo algunos grandes almacenes Recomendaría encarecidamente una visita, no es la más barata, pero la calidad es increíble, así que realmente obtiene lo que paga por

We went to Jermyn at Christmas time, hoping to enjoy the Beef Wellington, we had heard so much about on the Internet. Unfortunately the experience was not as expected. The staff was reserved but polite. The service was slow and our order was mixed up. We waited for almost 20 minutes for our aperitif, which was clearly forgotten. No problem. Things like that can happen on a busy day. However there was no word of apology for the delay. When ordering the Beef Wellington, we were told it would take about 45 minutes, which we were fine with. At the same time a family at the table across from us, also ordered Beef Wellington. After about 50 minutes their Beef Wellington arrived before ours. No problem. We expected ours to be out next. Unfortunately, a table at the other end of the restaurant got a Beef Wellington shortly after them, even though they arrived at least 20 minutes after us. We asked our server about our order. He silently walked off, probably to ask about our order. It took him a good 15 minutes to come back to tell us we would be next. After another 15 minute wait our Beef Wellington arrived. The meat was cooked to perfection and it was a delicious meal. However, there was no apolgy for the wait. Just a short: „I will try to comp the wine.“ When the bill arrived the wine was not taken off the bill. Which in itself was not the problem, if the server had mentioned that he tried, but couldn’t make it work. But still, no word from him. At the end he gave us a plate of chocolates, with „Congratulations“ written on it. Again, without a word of explanation. We assumed it was meant as an apology, but we are not sure, since nobody bothered to speak to us. The whole evening felt like us being there was a huge nuisance for the staff. This is something we are not used to, since most staff (even at fine dining restaurants) are outgoing and clearly enjoy interacting with the customers. If you don’t need good service, then the food is worth a visit. If you feel that good service is part of a great night out, then 45 Jermyn Street is not the restaurant for you.

My best friend from our teenage years and my Dad and I enjoyed such a lovely unhurried morning together yesterday sharing a delicious breakfast in your beautiful restaurant. Sophie general manager gave us such a genuinely warm welcome and she and her team served us throughout with such grace and care. We were given a lovely circular table with comfortable space to spread out into and from our vantage point in the corner of the room we had a nice open view out across the restaurant. There was a pleasant and warm atmosphere and I sensed that other diners were loving being there too. The food was delicious and top notch. I am a lover of porridge and the bowl presented to me was smooth and milky and excellent. I also loved my freshly chopped fruit salad platter and my toast and orange marmalade. My friend was delighted with her smoked salmon, grilled mushrooms, avocado chilli salsa and sourdough toast, as well as her bowl of coconut chia mango pudding. My Dad gave his Welsh rarebit with a rasher of crispy bacon laid across the top ten out of ten. We enjoyed several pots of English Breakfast tea amongst us too which were very good. It was a thoroughly lovely morning. We Thankyou all for your warm welcome and we are already looking forward to returning in the springtime and this time bringing my brother too. Thankyou and I wish all of you a gentle and happy new year of 2025 ahead. Warm greetings to you from Sarah.

Not worth what we paid. From the seating being very close so its hard to have a personal conversation to getting our water order wrong, twice ( wanted still and got sparkling, then they just poured the still INTO the sparkling) the service and the food were just not worth the money. My lamb was cold and sinewy, the veg was also cold. My wife's steak was tough and poorly cooked also. Service seems haphazard, with different people all the time...it took a long time to get a drink, get the plates cleared or even to place our order. If you want a higher end experience I would not recommend this place....over rated for what you pay

Our first time at 45 Jermyn St but it will not be our last. We had an 8p reservation and arrived about 715p to see if they could fit us in early. They made room for us and we had a great table. The service was great. Our waiter greeted us and we started with drinks and some edamame. After drinks we ordered a fabulous dinner of flambe' lobster spaghetti for two. We had a couple of sides; peas and leeks and buttered kale with chili. They were both excellent as was the spaghetti. We thoroughly enjoyed the service, food, atmosphere and attentiveness. Will definitely be back the next time in London.

I've been to 45 Jermyn St. A handful of times over the last few years and had a particularly disappointing experience recently. A high quality restaurant that keeps pushing out the same tired dishes from over two years ago, should consider asking their head chef if they've given up.

After eating out all the entire week in London in restaurants around Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Covent Garden, 2 or 3 times daily, I can say with confidence and 100% honesty that this restaurant is the BEST of them all in terms of quality, portion, service, atmosphere. We are always satisfied every time we visit, mostly for dinners . I read reviews about prices, but these are all in line with other central London restaurants, even as ‘far’ as Battersea and Richmond. At least here in 45 Jermyn, you get great value . Also, to note , because I am fussy, I liked that they have separate gents and ladies washrooms, well-kept and heavenly Bamford hand soap. And no, this place is not for Instagram freaks aka Sketch, but you go here to eat good food and not to pose for photos.

My parents often say I live a charmed life, and so to prove them right I decided to grab lunch to recover from the hell that is Fortnum’s ground floor at Christmas. I ordered the roast beef and some chips and carrots. What I wasn’t told either by the menu or staff is that the beef comes with roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and parsnips and cabbage. I can only imagine how gluttonous I must have looked like to the other diners. The beef was lovely and tender, given the choice of rare or well done I obviously went rare. The roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were a bit of a letdown for me, I felt they weren’t anywhere near the standard and my dad can do better. The carrots were decent and the cauliflower was really nice and creamy. The chips were really good and needed to make up for the lacklustre roast potatoes. I didn’t touch the other veg as it’s not my thing so lucky I ordered the carrots. I think to make the main 10/10, it needed another slice of beef, a choice on the veg to stop waste and maybe another potato or two so another side would be unnecessary. This main with extras therefore came to roughly £50 inc service. I then had the apple crumble coupe to finish which was light and exactly what was needed to finish the roast before. Overall, the food was really good, but I felt the sides were unnecessary and necessary at the same time. They could easily have been incorporated in the headline price yet meant I spent another £15, which left me feeling like Rob Reiner in the Wolf of Wall Street.

Should be so much better than it is. The details should be perfect but they are lacking. The veg is too salty, everything else is not salty enough. The staff are ill trained and all over the shop. It's just a hugely disappointing experience. With crisp execution in and out of the kitchen it could be great. But at these prices it's miles off.

El restaurante es elegante, de lujo, y tenía un gran bullicio. El servicio era bastante bueno. Agradable noche, pero no estoy seguro de que me apresuraría a volver.

Booked for pre Theatre menu. Assumed smaller portions but the 3 courses were plentiful and so tasty. Also comes with a cocktail of choice so great value. Service was fabulous.. Very attentive without being pushy..... It's a very well run, slick establishment. My husband had a different expectation for the chocolate dessert so only 4 stars but I thought it was delicious. Book your table now!

Nice place for a business lunch as well as stopping with family while on a day out in London. I found it very busy and as a consequence the place is loud and lively. Food was great and service was quick and on point.

Nos alojamos en The Cavendish enfrente de cada viaje de Londres. Cómo no lo hemos intentado aquí antes me sorprende. Servicio a la llegada , asientos , ambiente eran relajantes . Kieran cuidó de nosotros toda la noche, 5 * , gracias joven. El negroni era de cajón superior, el filete de lubina mejor que he probado, carnoso y sabroso. El desierto de tarta de chocolate y queso y galleta fueron geniales para terminar la noche. Había mencionado al reservar que era nuestro aniversario , qué sorpresa tan encantadora trajo Kieran a nuestra mesa , a mi señora le encantaron los chocolates . Todo esto y a un precio muy razonable , para una cena de calidad . 👍🫡 estaremos de vuelta y lo recomendaría sin dudarlo .

Lovely restaurant. We ate a very late lunch and the food was wonderful, as was the service. Highly recommended. The marmalade souffle was delicious. Nice to see a couple of lighter pudding options on the menu.

Excellent restaurant serving some of Fortnum and Mason's traditions and the best plus some modern twist.

Beautiful experience! The 3 course + cocktail set menu was delicious and good value. Perfect for a pre-theatre treat. Every course was expertly cooked, and classy without being pretentious. Our server, Vanessa, was friendly and knowledgeable. Can't fault anything about it and would definitely recommend a visit.

I am in so much love with their outside seating. I would recommend the Portland dressed crab it tastes so good if you like the cold crab meat with some warm bread and butter 🤍🤍🤍

Been here today for breakfast. Having checked out some of the reviews here, I was a little skeptical for the service. I read some people commenting about it being unfriendly. My experience was completely opposite of that. Women at the entrance were very friendly and chatty both for when I arrived and left. Service personnel were very professional, always smiling, keeping a close eye on our table topping up our drinks and asking if we want anything extra without bothering us by asking too often. Food was good. I had a Greek yogurt granola which was a very generous portion as well as tasty. The only thing for me was that it was a busy morning and the place was loud with everyone chatting away but there is nothing they can do about it. It in fact only shows it’s a busy and popular space. Verdict: I’d go back!

Had lunch here on three occasions and have to say what a pleasant surprise! The welcome from the hostess was warm and friendly - I took tables outside so I could enjoy a nice Havana Cigar post meal. The food was great on all occasions the Taco and Risotto perfectly cooked. The staff are all lovely but I have to say Joanna was amazing taking time to explain the menu and provided a sense of fun whilst retaining that air of professionalism throughout - well done and I will definitely be back!

We came here for our anniversary. We had the fish taco and rarebit as starters, both delicious. We had the beef wellington to share for main, it really was incredible. Was a bigger portion than I was expecting. The gratin potatoes were divine. The service & recommendations we received from Kieren our waiter was second to none. It felt like very genuine recommendations, and he was very knowledgeable about the menu. A very likeable guy, who was professional and hard working. Made our evening very relaxed and enjoyable. We would love Kieren to be recognised for his hard work and delightful nature!

A Memorable Birthday at May Fair Kitchen We recently celebrated a birthday at May Fair Kitchen, and everything was simply perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The ambiance is elegant and relaxed, ideal for a special occasion. The food was exceptional — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and perfectly portioned. We especially loved the variety of Mediterranean and Italian, inspired dishes, each one crafted with care and creativity. What truly made the evening unforgettable was the attentive service. The staff went above and beyond to make the birthday feel special, even surprising us with a thoughtful dessert gesture that made the celebration even sweeter. If you're looking for a place in Mayfair that combines fine dining, style, and a personal touch, May Fair Kitchen is the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be back!!
