Caxton Grill in City of London, Westminster

Great food, service and reasonable pricing.

Good place for dining, nice ambiance and price is right. Food above average.

An incredible address in Westminster! We came for dinner with my partner and had a perfect time from welcome to departure. The setting is magnificent. The servers were adorable and attentive. Absolutely excellent food. It’s flawless and I recommend this address with my eyes closed!

Very pleasant welcome. A beautiful table near the window, quiet. We had a one-hour slot which was respected perfectly. The meat was excellent.

Caxton Grill is an elegant restaurant in the heart of London a stone's throw from Big Ben. It is located inside a beautiful hotel but can also be accessed from a reserved entrance from the street without passing through the hotel. Greeted by courteous and smiling staff, we were offered hot bread and butter. We continued with carpaccio with truffle and sprouts, continued with a 300g steak still red hot with wine reduction, green beans and potatoes. Paired with Argentine wine by the glass (nice wine list, many bottles displayed in dedicated showcases all over the world). Finished with an excellent espresso. Well-kept and elegant spaces, attention to detail, impeccable service: a wonderful place!

We had a lovely time at Caxton grill!! We sat at the bar, ordered a martini and another cocktail that was so good. I highly recommend you get the sticky toffee pudding it was delicious!!!😍 The bartenders were also so so nice!

Disappointing would be saying the least…

Today, I embarked on a culinary adventure with my son and daughter at the esteemed Caxton Grill, nestled within the delightful St Ermin's hotel. The ambience exuded a tranquil and inviting aura, perfectly complemented by the attentive staff, especially the remarkable Mr. Nahid, the manager. His charm, amiability, and vast knowledge shone through as he gracefully guided us through the menu, ensuring that even our gluten-free options were expertly chosen. Not only did he provide recommendations, but he also regaled us with a brief introduction to the hotel and restaurant. Given the time constraints, we unanimously decided to indulge in the main course only, as my son had to swiftly return to his office after his lunch break. Surprisingly, we all independently gravitated towards the tantalizing Freedown Hill olive-fed Wagyu steak burger, adorned with a delightful tomato relish, crisp gem lettuce, and accompanied by the heavenly aroma of smoked Applewood Cheddar ,steak chips. To add a touch of variety, we also savored some delectable roasted root vegetables. As my daughter ordered a cocktail to delight her senses, I opted for a glass of Malbec Mendoza from the renowned vineyards of Argentina, which perfectly complemented the flavors of our meals. Despite the slight variation in ingredients due to our gluten-free requirements, the harmony of flavors surpassed our expectations, leaving us thoroughly satisfied. I cannot emphasize enough the exceptional role played by Nahid, whose remarkable service and leadership left an indelible impression on us, both as honored guests and as members of the staff. Our gratitude knows no bounds for the unforgettable experience and delectable cuisine we savored at Caxton Grill. Rest assured, we shall return to relish more of your culinary delights and even explore the tempting offerings of your afternoon tea. To all those seeking an extraordinary dining experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Caxton Grill. #doctorfoodielondon

Caxton is such a disappointment. Dead atmosphere for lunch. Food is trendy but poorly cooked and presented Wagyu Skirt should be lovely but was dumped on a plate overcooked with no skill or attention. What a shame.

Shared a skirt steak, salad, bottle of wine, and dessert. Absolutely perfect. Not crowded. Exactly what I was looking for

Recently visited for a business dinner and my meal started well with a lovely beef carpaccio. For main I opted for the 400g sirloin from the “specials” detailed to us by our waiter, sadly it was extremely fatty and had a fairly large section of gristle through the middle as well as being a tad overdone (requested medium rare and it was much more medium than rare). At £48 (without any sides) I personally expected a better quality piece of meat. Overall a reasonable meal due to the great starter, friendly waiter and lovely Irish coffee to finish. Would I return, potentially but I’d be avoiding the steak options

Really slow Got a drink and sat empty with no food for 45 min. Waiter asked if we were ready to order and turned and walked off as we said yes. So many amazing places in the area….This isn’t one of them. Walking distance to Noble Palace which is fantastic. Try that instead

Wonderful night...Food was great... thanks to Iirenee (manager and front reception) who gave us a very warm welcome and Ruth who gave us great service at our table. The food (soup burrata, a mRinated skirt steak and a cheesecake) was really well cooked and tasty

This is a really lovely place to spend an evening having dinner! The only reason I give four stars instead of 5 overall is because of the size of the starters we had. The quality of the food was wonderful but would have loved more of the starters we had! The non alcoholic cocktails are really yummy and the service I received once I had told them I am currently 7 months pregnant was brilliant. They double checked everything they needed to with me and all staff were very friendly! I had the Welsh Lamb rump as my main and my partner had the Caxton burger as his main and we can both say we really enjoyed our food!

As I ventured into Caxton Grill, discreetly nestled inside St. Ermin's Hotel, I couldn't help but marvel at the ample space that it offered. The layout, featuring intimate corners, high tables, and of course, the inviting bar, provided the perfect cover for covert meetings. The intimate areas, well, they held secrets just as well as they held conversations. The high tables, where one could exchange documents without drawing suspicion, were strategically placed. As for the bar, let's just say that its counterintelligence was as impeccable as its cocktails. Speaking of cocktails, the selection was somewhat limited, but the mixologists had an uncanny ability to concoct anything one desired. A trait that any spy would appreciate; they never blinked an eye, even when my requests grew more complex. The food, considering the context of a hotel bar, exceeded expectations. It was satisfying, providing the sustenance needed to keep my espionage endeavors on track. Now, the service – it was truly amazing. The staff operated with such precision and discretion that I couldn't help but wonder if they had been trained in the art of espionage themselves. And here's the twist – the bar was so good that I couldn't help but think about changing sides, much like the ebb and flow of wartime allegiances. The atmosphere was so inviting that even a seasoned spy could find themselves contemplating a different path. As I savored my drink, I couldn't help but notice the number of Americans patronizing the establishment. It felt as though there were more of them than secret agents in wartime Berlin. I suppose you could say it was a "friendly invasion," much like our American allies during World War II. In conclusion, Caxton Grill at St. Ermin's Hotel is a place that could make even a spy consider a change of allegiance, all while enjoying excellent service, intriguing spaces, and, of course, cleverly crafted cocktails.

Probably the most disappointing part of our vacation was the one time we ate here for breakfast. Our kids ate buffet, and we ate off menu. All of the food was just okay. The coffee was just okay. The service was subpar. I essentially had to beg for water and coffee. The poached eggs were perfectly made, but the rest was supremely underwhelming. I recommend skipping and heading down the street for breakfast or meals. It seems to have a lot of potential but sadly lacks in several fundamental areas.

Really liked this joint...serene with plenty of character...not cheap!

Food and service was superb. Had the lamb and chicken with great sides. Nice place for dinner with great atmosphere.

Les plats sont bien élaborés. Le personnel est chaleureux. Thanks Ramos Rebelo for the welcome 🫶🏾✨.

My wife and I found this place on our recent stay in London. Staff was friendly and food was excellent. Maybe a little pricey but you get what you pay for and it is London.

A very lucky find , delightful healthy food , staff really attentive , really nice experience would recommend

We had a business lunch of 13 people for Theramex. Food was delicious, came out in a timely fashion and the staff were impeccable. Kudos to all of them, Winnie was great. Thank you to the Chef and the waiters / waitresses for making our team lunch such a successful one. We will definitely be back!

Food was Good and Great Service. 😋

Lovely restaurant. All food cooked to perfection and a nice Pale Ale on tap for those connoisseurs who prefer beer to wine. Cod was excellent and sides were good too. Didn't have steak but the people who did said it was great.

Very nice food and calm environment

Staff very welcoming and food excellent

Well appointed restaurant with very good service. I had lunch and the wagyu burger was very good but just lacked that little extra something that would make it excellent. The starter of burrata was superb.

Delicious dinner and several excellent breakfasts. Favorite London hotel.

We had the octopus and it tasted freaking awesome!

Very expensive place in middle of business district. But food and drink quality makes up for it. Ambience is ok. Can get crowded at peak hours and making reservations is recommended.

Excellent food and service. Bit crammed though as it's popular and expensive. Good for dinner with colleagues. Recommend booking in advance.

מקום מושלם, אוכל טעים ומיוחד מאוד מומלץ (קצת יקר, אבל שווה)

After checking out Google & Trip Advisor for local options for our hotel we decided on Caxton Grill for our Friday night meal. It was my wife's Birthday on Saturday, with a full day's sightseeing and Theatre booked we chose Friday night to have a nice meal. We couldn't have chosen a nicer place, not too busy with a few loud tables and some children as this is part of a hotel. The menu was ok, we only had a main as the starters and desserts didn't stand out but boy were the steaks good. Exceptionally cooked with a nice side of chips and a great sauce. We were given bread to start and this was amazing on its own. We had a great bottle of wine but this was kept away from the table so had to rely on the staff to refill the drinks. Overall it was really good and I wouldn't have an issue coming back.

빅벤 구경후에 스테이크가 먹고싶어서 찾아간 곳입니다 가격은 좀비싼거같지만 분위기까지 진짜 좋았고 웨이터분들도 친절하셨어요!

Ottimo ambiente ottimo servizio

Food and drinks are good. Atmosphere and service are superb. Everyone is kind and attentive.

Had a wonderful evening in the Caxton Bar. I'd let them know I was expecting about 20 people for celebratory cocktails and when I arrived they'd set up a room for us at the back of the bar with a fire going. It felt private and intimate so everyone felt at right home immediately. The staff were welcoming and charming. It feels like a top notch venue without the pretentiousness. Afterwards two of us had dinner in the Caxton Grill, same lovely service, top quality steak and lamb cooked beautifully, best triple cooked chips I've ever had. St Ermins is a favourite venue of mine, I've had cocktail gatherings, afternoon teas and after work drinks with a friend there over the years and never been disappointed. Love it!

When I came into the restaurant. I was greeted by the confused hostess. Which was a great first impression. My first question to the waitress was, "How's the wagyu burger?" Her response, "It comes out medium. " First of all what am I supposed to do with that information? I pressed her saying, "That's not what I asked. How's the burger, what's it like, how's the flavor, what's your take on the burger. " She said, "The meat is minced and it comes out, sort of juicy but dry." The burger turned out to be dry and the waitress had never tried the burger. Would've been a totally different outcome if she had just said that. Moral of the story is this restaurant is over priced, the staff are untrained (at best or misleading at worst), the food is lackluster, and every thing in there is lacking self-awareness, and lacking attention to detail. Overall, I would give them 0 stats if I could.

Excellent service and food, Quiara did a great job serving us and 3 boys. 5 stars

They aren't open 24 hours. They were closed by midnight. Edit - kitchen is open until ~10pm. Bringing this up from 1 to 5 stars because once I finally got there on time, the service was beyond excellent, and the roast potatoes were a religious experience. The Iberico pork and the tomato/artichoke tartine were also delicious. Definitely recommend.

Amazing food and atmosphere.Elizabeth was and absolute 5 star member of staff.Highly recommended.

Very classy dining room. Excellent professional waiters. Good food. Expensive as you might expect.

Professional and customer focused 👌

Fine restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast. Special mention for Hafid. He has been fantastic in taking care of us at breakfast. The french toast with fruits and berries that he served today was excellent. Will come again for the hospitality and experience.

The staff here are some of the finest service professionals I've had the pleasure to know.

Came to London for the weekend for my girlfriends birthday. The Caxton Grill was a highlight! We were served by James who was the prefect host! Couldn’t ask for more from him. 10/10. Before our meal we had cocktails which set the tone for the level cuisine. The food was absolutely incredible. Could not fault anything we ate. All in all the whole experience was a 10/10. Highly recommend.

Appearance is great and the food is reasonable for the price, but on the occasion we visited there was 90 minutes between each course!

My partner and I visited the restaurant on Monday the 19th of December at 18:30. We had a mediocre experience food wise (especially considering the price we paid for 2 of over £100 for food) but the waiting service was actually very good. The chips were massively overcooked, the mac and cheese was extremely bland, the steak was very dry and everything was far too salty. Unfortunately later that evening my partner would begin to feel unwell (after having the salmon starter and the lobster main). She would then proceed to experience food poisoning and is still reeling from the symptoms. I am really disgusted in this experience, especially considering the prices they charge for the food and will be recommending all avoid the Caxton Grill. This was our engagement celebration dinner and they left us with a bitter memory.

A charming upscale pub type atmosphere is at the front of the restaurant near the bar. Surrounded by warm dark wood tones and romantic soft lighting, you can dine at cozy little nooks with plush armchairs or larger low tables with couches and cocktail chairs. In the back is a full dining room that is light and airy with large wooden tables, banquettes, and removable chairs for wheelchair accessibility. This is not the place to go for a quick bite to eat. Take your time and have a cocktail. Enjoy the olive bread and rosemary butter and the people you are with. I recommend the vegetable risotto. You must try their fat chips! The servers were gracious and efficient. The time spent in the Caxton Grill was very enjoyable. We ate there several times and ordered off their room service menu, which is available for guests at the St. Ermin's Hotel.

A perfect place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if in Victoria

Cold steak and chips but the flavour was still good, the service was great and very attentive!

Had breakfast here while staying at the hotel as a Titanium member. Excellent food and huge selection. It would be good if they changed the selection every couple of days, but not complaining

We had dinner at this restaurant couple of times during our London stay at St. Ermin’s Hotel, overall a great experience, food was great, I wish would have a bit more desert diversity. The staff is very friendly and customer friendly. I would definitely be back!

Great service, steak was delicious highly recommended. Wine choice good too.

Good food. Nice and friendly staff.

Noch nie so höflich und zuvorkommend bedient worden! Das Essen war super! Vielen Dank für alles!

Le service était agréable Le lieu est bien décoré. Les plats n’étaient pas à la hauteur du lieu. Un burger avec une viande qui semble surgelée et un risotto qui n’en est pas vraiment un. Nous sommes un peu déçu des plats pour la qualité du lieu.

Great meal I had the fish and my wife had the chicken all of it was very well presented and the staff are excellent

Splendid food Excellent customer service! Thank you definitely returning

Excellent restaurant, accueil sympathique, je recommande fortement le steak grillé et le tiramisu

Best dining experience in London.

delicious food and excellent service

Excellent food professional service

Excellent food, nice staff and cozy place

Excellent service. Amazing food.

Good food but pricey, especially the drinks.

Convenient for Westminster and Victoria Street, good place to meet and catch up

Great british traditional thing with wonderful staff.

Delicious food. Perfect friendly and efficient service.

The food is excellent and the service is marvelous. highly recommend

Nice and welcoming restaurant off victoria street. Excellent decor and amazingly courteous staff. Great food and servicem.

Freundlicher und sehr aufmerksamer Service. Qualitativ sehr gutes und besonderes Essen. Wir kommen definitiv wieder vorbei.

Good food though the menu might have been a little more varied. Good atmosphere. Staff good/ attentive.

Most romantic setting and possibly the best soup I have ever had. I wouldn't change a thing.

The location and decor are exemplary, but I've already reviewed that aspect for the hotel. This is about the food and service for the attached Caxton Grill which unfortunately was a little lacking. I had two visits, the first being an evening meal with colleagues. The staff were friendly and attentive at a times, but the food was coming out randomly and the staff didn't know who had ordered what. While some of us had finished our mains, others were still on starters. Side dishes to the mains came out after people had finished their food! My food was fine, but given the cost I was expecting better than just fine. For my other visit, we all had breakfast and unfortunately again most people had an issue with something. Whether that was slow service, lukewarm food or things you would expect were missing there seemed to be a general problem with organisation.

The manager was rude and over complicated things.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting but the food is just above mediocre. I’ve tried two different dishes at different times and both times the food was good but nothing that matches the expectations of the price and atmosphere. Also the wait staff can get overwhelmed by priority clients, so I would not say they are rude so much as distracted. Caxton Geill is fine if you are in the area and would like a nice place to eat, but not a place you would travel to get an amazing meal.

Had breakfast. Good service. Good food. Super courteous staff. Loved the walk up to the hotel with the beautiful garden

We spent our 10 year anniversary here recently, which included a lunchtime tea on the terrace and breakfast in the hotel. Both were utterly exceptional and we will be returning even when we’re not staying here! Thank you to the staff for taking such great care of us and to the chef(s)!!

Amazing service, amazing food and excellent cocktails.

Very hospitable staff, wide selection of wines. Food was lightly flavoured in general but still tasty. Battered fish was crispy outside but soft inside, yummy. I'm satisfied with experience I had in this restaurant. Great atmosphere for special occasions.

Its Tier 2 in London so quiet and a limitted menu. That said the staff were superb working really hard in these difficult times. My burger was good and my wife's pasta was some of the best she has ever had.

Great food, great service, good prices!

Always a lovely experience at Caxton Grill. We went for dinner and had breakfast there as we stayed over at St.Ermin's hotel which is connected to Caxton Grill. Tasty food and the staff is very friendly. All safety measures have been put in place during this pandemic year but it still had a nice atmosphere. There is a kid's menu so suitable for families. My husband and I came back to where we got married and the staff made us very welcome indeed. Our little boy enjoyed himself as well :)

The risotto i had made me physically ill . I spoke to the restaurant manager Martin . Who put me through a mini Spanish Inquisition . The food my partner and I had were disgustingly overpriced overrated and vile . I am seeking legal action from friends , not even an apology !!!

Fireplaces as well as high tops, bar and table service.

Great service, tasty dishes and a very cosy atmosphere

Service was slow, food was average at best, especially for the price, and not as described on the menu (missing key ingredients). Would not return for food chairs were uncomfortably hard in dining room (some tables bad better chaors). Bar was nice and comfortable and well executed cocktails. Only go for the bar.

Absolutely superb! Can't praise the food quality and staff enough. We had a Christmas meal here. Very pleased that we did.

Decidedly average and overpriced as is par for the course for London hotels. Food was presented well and not bad on the whole. The mushroom starter was the best although there was insufficient of each starter for everyone at the table to try. The beef we received for our mains was delightfully rare but had been left under lamps for far too long and had the smell of old blood found in a sanitary bin. There were insufficient vegetables for our party and the waiter actually just came and took our veg when one of the other tables complained that they had 6 potatoes and a small dish of carrots, parsnips and sprouts for 10 people. There was no explanation of dishes or desert wines and the staff had a surly and impolite attitude as if they were doing us a favour by actually brining us average and overpriced food. It was also not made clear that we were having a sharing platter style meal rather than individual starters, mains etc. Having said all that the Muscat desert wine was delicious. I would not go back though, there is better quality and value to be found in London than this place.

Great service by Hunor!!! Professional and kind. Food is excellent. Place is amazing. Thank you very much. Nir&Daniel.

Terrible service and very average food.... honestly not worth the money. I’m very disappointed overall.

But pricey but the food was amazing! Lamb cutlets and lobster are fantastic and great selection of wine. Service was also great and very nice atmosphere

Outstanding bar with amazing gin selection. Also an excellent hot dog (no kidding) and of course great single insult scotch.

Arty, elegant eatery using locally-sourced fare for modern European menu, charcoal grill specials.

Don’t get fooled by the beautiful pictures of plated food. This is a really overpriced, overrated (based on reviews) place. The food is just ok. Fish was over salted. Tuna was over cooked. Decor is oldish. Service is a bit slow. With so many incredible choices in London, this was unfortunately a waste of a dinner opportunity for us.

Quality service. Quality food. Clean. Air conditioned. We'll definitely be back and recommend you try.

Food was fantastic, the service was good.

We had a group dinner and we had a good time. Excelent service and very good food and wine. Try the ginger rubarb dessert and the lemon mojito dessert really surprising flavors. Expensive but worth

A visit to a supposed classic doesn't often disappoint, but I have to say our visit the other night left everyone at the table wanting. Service was gruff and sporadic, felt like we were having to chase the server for everything. The service wouldn't have been a deal breaker if the food had blown us away, but everything on the table was acceptably meh at best. Oh, and a classic looking bar should never make an Old Fashioned that resembles a desert more than a drink. In a city of fantastic restaurants, no reason to waste your time here.
