A very welcoming restaurant serving delicious food. Our waitresses were very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend a visit to this restaurant if you like really good food. We had 3 courses, all delicious and generous portions

Very nice atmosphere and nice food. Steak sauce was very nice unexpectedly. Amazing Sunday Roast too!

Amazing burgers. Great atmosphere and staff

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Berners Tavern, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Located in the heart of London, this restaurant exudes elegance and charm, making it perfect for a memorable meal. The ambiance is breathtaking, with grand, high ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and walls adorned with stunning artwork. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between sophisticated and welcoming, making it suitable for both special occasions and casual dining. The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering a delightful mix of traditional British dishes with a modern twist. I tried the slow-cooked lamb shoulder, and it was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The side dishes complemented the main course perfectly. For dessert, I had the vanilla cheesecake, which was creamy, light, and an absolute treat. The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly without being intrusive. They were happy to recommend dishes and ensure every detail of the dining experience was flawless. While Berners Tavern is on the pricier side, it’s worth every penny for the quality of food, service, and ambiance. Whether you’re a foodie or simply looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Berners Tavern is a must-visit.

Jason Atherton is one of my favourite chefs

Berners Tavern is so sophisticated, brilliant atmosphere, excellent service, staff are friendly. Would recommend to anyone.

It is a restaurant with a unique atmosphere. The staff is very kind and up to the job. The food is exquisite.

It was our anniversary and as a treat my partner chose Berners Tavern, the welcome was very warm and friendly, service was prompt and I noticed the staff were alert to the our needs . The food was very well presented and as expected tasted as good as it looked... The decor is very tasteful and made the experience more intimate on our special night... I can't recommend it highly enough and will return next time we're in the area , it's a keeper !

Is like stepping into the 1930 The staff are very friendly and helpful Food is just gurgues The dercure is just stunning

The restaurant is beautiful, the food is of great quality. Unfortunately the service was super slow and poor, the waiter did not have a good attitude

My favourite restaurant in London. Set in a stunning, dining room adorned with art—this restaurant boasts an unbeatable ambience and delicious food. I recommend a steak to share with sides. Great for special occasions and date nights.

Octopus was the best I’ve ever had Mac and cheese good too Everything else ok Pot pie wasn’t good

I had an uplifting dinner experience here, immersed in a vibrant atmosphere. The food was enjoyable, and the service exceeded all expectations. Sipping on my glass of champagne while admiring the stunning paintings was truly delightful. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an extraordinary ambience paired with exquisite cuisine.

The decor is impressive, no doubt. One of a kind. But it shouldn’t be too difficult to serve much better food that would be fitting an exceptional place like this. The menu is very limited and doesn’t change often, so even a slightly more than average professional chef should be able to add a touch of inspiration and more pleasing tastes to the very bland stuff they serve now. I mean, as an amateur chef, and not an exceptionally good one for sure, I have the feeling I could do better. And my wife agrees. It’s always a letdown to experience that. Staff is professional except for one lady at the entrance, who had attitude. And not the right kind. Prices for mains and wine would be exorbitant if not for the decor. And even then it’s so sad what could be a great evening out is reduced to a missed chance because of mediocre food.

All tapas we’ve ordered were of quality at their price point - bank for the buck.

Birthday dinner. Immaculate, friendly and efficient service. Food was excellent. Crab and octopus starters had rave reviews. Chateaubriand and cote de boeuf perfectly cooked and seasoned. Dover sole, perfect. Great night.

We went to Berners Tavern for our 2024 Christmas Works party. 13 of us had lunch in the main dining room. The room itself is gorgeous, with a beautiful ceiling. We chose it over the private dining room for the atmosphere and settings. The decoration and settings are amazing. The staff are very attentive and helpful - we were well looked after and they were incredibly accommodating. We were slightly disappointed the christmas menu finished on the 15th of December (the day prior to our lunch booking), and ate three courses from the set menu. I had mushroom soup to start, this was very mushroom heavy, accompanied by a mini caramelised onion toasty. This was very pleasant and served beautifully. Other starters on the table included pate, prawn cocktail and salad - all of which were well reviewed. My steak was cooked as requested and a great steak. The peppercorn sauce was incredible. Having tried the mac and cheese others had with braised beef, this was lovely although incredibly heavily cheesy! I also had the pecan pie. All the food was lovely however I didn’t leave and want to rave about the food i’d had unfortunately. However, coupled with the settings and service this was an incredible lunch, with lovely drinks.

One of the best dining experiences. The dishes are delicious, excellent tastes and very well presented. The staff are kind, attentative, very professional and pay attention to details. Last but not least is the building and the decoration, a fantastic hall transformed into a very cosy, intimate and high-end ambience.

One of my favourite bars in London! Nice menu, lovely staff. Clean bathrooms. Just generally a nice, chill vibe.

My first time visiting the Berners Tavern and had a wonderful experience, beautiful building, wonderful food and attentive service. I would definitely return in the near future, I was very impressed

Lovely ambience, lovely food. Staff was so attentive and friendly except for one. I asked him if he is okay as he is so serious and he said he just focused of his work. That’s good but a nice smile and hello is better!

10/10 best vibe, best food, great service, most gorgeous dining room.

I’m very disappointed with the lack of service provided during my recent visit. The experience was further worsened by the supervisor’s unprofessional behavior. They displayed a very bad attitude and spoke rudely to their colleagues, which was both uncomfortable and unacceptable to witness. This kind of treatment creates a negative environment, not only for the employees but also for customers. I strongly urge management to address this issue and ensure proper training for supervisors on how to treat both employees and customers with respect. Such behavior reflects poorly on the organization and deters people from wanting to return.

Stunning iconic space. Solid food and lovely service. A plus business or festive lunch spot.

Amazing spot. Incredible wine list.

We recently went to Berners Tavern as a group of four on a weekday evening. The waitstaff were very attentive, taking our coats and offering us drinks right away. The service was prompt and polite—we really can’t fault it. The atmosphere was nice, too. The lighting created a pleasant ambiance, and it wasn’t too loud with music or anything, making it feel very family-friendly. The other diners were a mix of travellers staying at the hotel, couples on dates, business groups, and families. The food was a bit of a mixed bag. We really enjoyed the pork pie and the condiments that came with it, especially how it was served and presented. The risotto was good, but unfortunately, the macaroni cheese wasn’t great—it was far too rich and, to be honest, a bit sickly for our taste. The addition of beef was a nice touch, but the pasta wasn’t macaroni; it looked more like rigatoni. Dessert was good, although nothing particularly special, and the cocktails were very nice, though relatively standard. Overall, we felt the food was relatively average for the price point, especially considering the excellent options nearby. However, the ambiance and the waitstaff made the experience deserving of four stars. I’d recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for a hearty take on British classics with excellent service—just don’t expect it to become your new favourite spot in London.

Always excellent - food and service.

Very pleasant meal and lovely setting, would recommend the restaurant

Great food and service, drinks also very good. We had a good all round experience.

Delicious Sunday Roast, both the main and all of the trimmings (especially the roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese). The service was incredible and there is a good range to choose from on the menu. Shout out to our waitress, Arlene, who went above and beyond to make this experience the best it could possibly be.

Great ambience and good British food. Only suggestion would be that the kids courses were just too large. My 4 year old had 6 large chunky chicken bites, baked beans, french fires, and big bowl of pasta . That’s a lot of!!!! May be reduce the size of kids food.

Superb service from everyone. Excellent sommelier. Only negative was bread so hot it couldn’t be touched for several minutes

Amazing ambiance, no question. Won't order a steak there next time but otherwise food very good. Service was sporadic but cordial.

Everything was lovely it was just a bit noisy. Our server was fabulous!

Everything works in this place I love the sense of space and grandeur The attentive staff The choice of wine and cocktails is second to none

What a fabulous dinner, great service, real attention to detail and such fantastic food. It is a beautiful setting and a really buzzing atmosphere, we shall definitely visit again. Thank you for the anniversary dessert too

I had a lovely evening at Berner’s Tavern yesterday. The food was exceptional and the staff were very attentive and helpful. No complaints at all and I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a high quality restaurant in central London!

Lovely lunch and great service. Bit quiet for a Friday afternoon. Same across London.

My first time dining here with family visiting. Great evening, with fantastic service, the food was unbelievably good. Would recommend.

Food was really good. However the service wasn’t what was before Covid. We had to case the waiters all the time, some food was forgotten and the room was quite chilly. It used to be very customer oriented, but it lost its service excellence, at least today, might have been an exception.

Al ways great food, one of my favourite eateries in London. Service impeccable and food wonderful

Pancakes are super small and only two, should be theee at least given the small size and the given the price… (25£) it’s not worth it

Berners Tavern is a gem! The decor is stunning, blending traditional English charm with a modern touch. The food? Exceptional. We began with the Tuna Tartare and Shrimp Cocktail—both were flawless and uniquely prepared. My main course, the Herdwick Lamb Rump, was cooked to perfection and easily the best I’ve had. The service here is what sets it apart. Every staff member was attentive, but Giresse, our waiter, deserves a special shout-out for his impeccable, fun yet professional service. It’s rare to find such a balance of sophistication and warmth. Berners Tavern is a must-visit in London. I’ll be back for sure!

Very good service food and value.. we did the early menu and was surprised by how good it was

Really tasty, delicious food. Good service. Fantastic, impressive interior, however the room was only 1/4 full for Saturday lunch, and felt a bit sad compared to previous visits, when it was full and bustling.

Wonderful experience, service fantastic ! Thank you for a wonderful evening :)

An incredible experience at Berners Tavern! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was breathtaking—quintessentially English yet modern, with a spectacular interior that left us in awe. We started with the Tuna Tartare and Shrimp Cocktail, both unlike anything I’ve ever tasted—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For the main course, I had the Herdwick Lamb Rump, which was simply the best lamb dish I’ve ever had. What truly stood out, though, was the service. Every staff member was exceptionally attentive, and the service was absolutely top-notch. A special mention to our waiter, Giresse, who made the evening extra memorable with his fun yet classy approach. I’ll definitely be asking for him on my next visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an extraordinary dining experience in London!

We love the restaurant and its wonderful energy. It was so loud in the restaurant that we could not hear each other across the table. It was fun but may not revisit.

Fantastic breakfast. Fabulous service. Berners Tavern is definitely one of the best places for breakfast in London and is consistently reliable.

I am so glad that I have this opportunity.The staff was amazing the food was spectacular!!!Thank you so much!!!

Lovely venue, food and staff. A very calm and relaxing place for lunch.

wonderful environment, very attentive staff, present but not intrusive. they reported my gluten intolerance in the kitchen and sent me some excellent warm gluten-free bread accompanied with delicious butter! the waiters were very attentive in telling me which dishes were gluten free or in reporting any contamination. the meat tartare and truffle potatoes are highly recommended!

Stunning interior with high ceilings and incredible hospitality. Tarzeem was the best server I’ve had in ages, what a delight. Next time, I want to sit at the 2 top in the mezzanine!

Food nowhere as good as it used to be. Overcooked and overpriced

Stylish surroundings, delicious food, great service

Fantastic restaurant, love coming here and will return again! Wine is massively overpriced and working in the industry I appreciate how this happens but price is still not reflected in the quality

Food OK, very awkward service. Beautiful room. Not worth it

The beef mac&cheese and the slow cooked lamb shoulder were divine! Stunning restaurant and ambience. Highly recommend for a special occasion

The service was attentive, the food was great, and prices were worth it for the experience.

Apart from a very small portion of thinly sliced sirloin the rest was excellent. Impressive interior.

Wonderful night out with family - great food, great service, the waiter was very funny.

Always a special treat to visit Berner’s Tavern for a meal. The staff go the extra mile and the decor is beautiful!

Tarseem has been a wonderful host to us. He has gone above and beyond to make our dinner and birthday celebration special. I really appreciate his hospitality and will definitely come here regularly

Had a quick meeting with a coffee in the lobby, staff are super friendly and I enjoy popping in from time to time.

From the initial moment you sit down you know you are in an amazing restaurant. From the champagne cart to the way they bring out your bottle of wine, the presentation is outstanding. Oh yeah, the food was absolutely amazing as well. The staff is incredibly friendly and very accommodating (my guest has Celiac Disease) and they went above and beyond to reassure here on every meal that it was gluten free.

Really fantastic atmosphere and very rich British food. Great experience! Would return.

Great room and food ok but could be a bit quieter (loud music)

Superb food, surroundings and service. Arlene was an amazing waitress - thank you.

The service was excellent and it made the dining an enjoyable experience.

Delicious as always. Love the classic London vibe and experience. Champagne cart is always a favorite to start the night.

This is a great breakfast menu. Service is excellent and speedy

As ever, the room is brilliant, the service excellent and the food spot on.

Amazing atmosphere. Small menue, but they serve anything you wish for!

Coffee meeting. Greatly opulent room and quiet in the morning. Perfect for our needs 👍🏼

Very disappointed by the inconsistent food quality. We visited Berners Tavern first time in August - and we were super impressed - everything was how it should be, so we returned, bringing our neighbours. I ordered the exact the same dish 2nd time, yesterday for Sunday Roast (Chicken clear soup followed by beef roast). The Chicken soup - first time round it was a beautiful consommé, this time it was a salty broth that lacked the depth of flavour. I was utterly shocked. It must be a another chef or someone who does not check/taste his food. We do not like salty food in general but our neighbour also agreed. As for my beef "sirloin" - consisted of what resembled 2 pieces of bacon - very thin! It was shocking. It was as though they were taking the p*. I did not have time to raise this matter or be unpleasant given our neighbours' presence, we just left. Our neighbours were a bit lucky that they ordered pork and the portions seem to be very generous and they could not even finish the food. OK perhaps I ordered badly - but this was their completely off day. I'm so disappointed as it's in our neighbourhood and we were so happy to discover this place in the first instance.

Excellent service, excellent staff, excellent food!

Amazing place. Astounding food. The BBQ Pork Chop was sumptuous.

Despite being only a third occupied on a weekend lunchtime, the overall ambience was great. What really mattered was incredible customer service from a young, friendly, efficient team. And perfect “grill” food - the steaks were superb.

Fabulous early dinner with friends in beautiful, yet relaxed dining room. Very tasty and the early menu is very good value! Lovely friendly, yet non-intrusive staff.

Great atmosphere for a table of 10 but frequently left waiting for wine to be delivered to the table. And the wine we had was slanted towards the over priced end of the menu and wasn’t great. Met at The Lobby before for pre dinner drinks, which was fine. Very lobbyesque… Overall disappointing venue experience.

I the level of service and quality of food is always excellent here - and today did not disappoint!

Excellent service and atmosphere. A place you can go to for guaranteed good food for a fair price. I love bringing my clients here

Arthur was amazing, everything was really good. the service, the food, the small talk with Arthur. Just loved it.

We were staying in the Edition and since we just flew in, decided to have dinner here to avoid the pouring rain outside. Stylistically, this spot is gorgeously decorated although it seems like the ambience cannot decide if it’s time for serious business conversation or posh clubbing. We were greeted by four different servers, the soon with the champagne cart, and the assistant somm. Great, lovely service! Once we ordered and it became clear that we were “only” ordering an app and a main, plus one glass of bubbles and one glass of wine each, we were completely ignored. We had to ask for our check 3 times, and it finally arrived 30 minutes after we first asked for it. Logically, it included a 13% service fee for the wonderful service we did not experience. How was the food? The octopus was great, although it was rather oily and a very small portion. The mushroom soup was not a soup, but some nicely cooked vegetables with way too much fresh tarragon. The pork pie was bland… our waiter said it really needed salt and he didn’t have any. Perfect. The lamb rump was well cooked but missing the eggplant and anchovy flavor promised by the menu. The steak and fries were completely “fine”. At these prices, the food should actually be better than forgettable fine. The wine and bubbles were similarly overpriced and forgettable. There’s so much good food and drink in London…. It’s just not at the Edition.
