Gillray's Steakhouse & Bar in Lambeth

Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und die Bedienung war sehr zuvorkommend… Mein besonderer Dank geht an Anna und ich wünsche Ihr alles Gute und viel Glück in der nächsten Zeit.

Very good food and ambience. Plenty of space and good for talking. We went on Sunday and was quiet and had nice view of the river.

Hi, Grillray‘s is Marriott‘s in-house steak restaurant at the County Hall hotel, where also breakfast is offered. We stayed 3 nights as a family. Every one was super nice, especially with the kids that had to cope with adjustments to food. Especially of great help was Sanda to make kids feel comfortable. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner, will come back again and do highly recommend it for quality of food, Thames view and foremost friendly staff. Best regards

Sanda nos atendió los tres días que desayunamos, su atención fue magnífica, desde el primer día recordó lo que me gustaba tomar en el desayuno. Como somos de España y la situación es complicada actualmente, nos preguntó y estuvo atenta. Ha sido cercana y educada en todo momento. Si tuviese un negocio no dudaría en contar con ella y que formase parte de mi equipo. Gracias Sanda

I realy liked the food and the service provided by the waitress Rose. It was a 5 star service!

Fantastic ambience with view of Parliament square across the river, great service and good food

The staff is very friendly and of good quality, the food on the other hand leaves something to be desired! The meat is ordinary, the burgers mediocre and the side dishes really not great! Only a sauce was worthy of such a place and such a note. At this price it’s more than a shame… I must admit that during our visit to London this opinion could be left to each of the restaurants visited… English cuisine has not stolen its reputation!

The food is terrible, I ordered a meat that was supposedly the best and I had never eaten meat so hard and poorly prepared. I felt robbed.

Had breakfast here whilst staying nearby, long wait for service but was fairly decent.

Was really excited about this steakhouse, the reviews seemed great. I got chicken wings to start and they were amazing. No doubt. But I got the Sirloin steak for mains wasn’t great at all, temperature was off my steak was cold, sides weren’t. It was 60% fat for the price. I was also giving Cutlery that was dirty, with food still on it. Would off preferred to go elsewhere

Excelente meal, we just love it! The staff was great, thank you Ana Paula for your kindness. Totally recommended.

Had breakfast here. We got granola and eggs Royale. Extremely tasty!! Slightly pricey but worth it in our opinion!!

Just stopped by, for a couple of soft drinks, before catching a night bus tour. I had a soda water and a lemonade. Was billed £12.37, was in a hurry so didn't challenge. Just thought other travellers be aware.

Beautiful dining room. Food was of a high standard throughout. Plenty to choose from. We had 2 courses and personal favorites where the "mac and cheese chips". Certainly a special occasion place, with stunning views and a classy atmosphere.

Superb food, incredible service and a nice, relaxed vibe. My wife and I have been here twice, once on her birthday and again on the day between both of ours. The staff very kindly, on both occasions, gave us a cake and wished us happy birthday. I can't recommend this place or it's food highly enough. Will be back.

Great service. Good food. Very friendly! We enjoyed our time each day we were there. We hope to go back and would highly recommend.

We had the pleasure of meeting Sanda who was our server for breakfast at Gilroys. She went over and above to make us feel like individuals she was so welcoming and friendly. The quality of food is excellent and the breakfast menu offers a good variety of options. Breakfast can be enjoyed whilst overlooking the Thames which adds to the experience but without doubt its the friendliness of the staff that make the difference and are the star quality here.

The staff is wonderful at the County Hall property including Gillray's. All the meals and snacks we had were great and served with high level of politeness and professionism.

I have a wonderful breakfast time in the restaurant. The waitress named Sanda, was patient and helped me a lot, much appreciated.

We ordered two glasses of the £12 pound Chardonnay and pointed it out on the menu. The waiter confirmed. When we received the bill, we were charged £22 pounds a glass. The waiter blamed it on the fact that we ordered «Chardonnay, and not the house wine» (which was also chardonnay), yet he billed us for the most expensive out of three options. This is an outright lie as he confirmed that we ordered the £12 pound wine when we ordered. And if we did indeed order an undefined glass of chardonnay, why charge the most expensive? The only thing the waiter offered to do was to remove the service fee. We feel scammed.

Should lean-in to its 60's decor and go groovy jazz - the menu was great, the wines were good and the staff were fantastic but the ambience was lacking and I felt it took itself a bit too seriously. Ended up feeling a bit like eating at a hotel restaurant, which it technically is. Where is the Gillray's character?

Really disappointing food, very salty and over cooked signature burgers. Limited menu

Lobster was pretty good; ribeye steak was OK at best. Disappointing for somewhere that calls themselves a Steakhouse. Service was extremely poor; our waiter seemed like he was in a bad mood/borderline rude from the minute he brought water to the table. It took 45 minutes to get our food, and all we ordered was steak, half lobster, and 2 sides. Probably would not bother coming here again, unfortunately.

Had a rough journey from NYC to London- went to Gillray’s by chance for dinner and loved it! Had such a great experience we went back x2- even though our hotel was almost a mile away. Our waiter Sarthak was so friendly and warm and made our evening great

Nice place , good atmosphere. Good food and if you like traditional grilled steak I this is it. Some of my company doesn’t like it.As it got a strong smoked.

The view was really nice. You can see London eye from certain angle. Steak was quite disappointing though. I asked for medium rare. But it came out as medium well or even well done at the edge. For a steakhouse, this was really disappointing. And no one bothered to ask how’s the food. Service was not there too, couldn’t even recommend for any signature dishes. Price was quite expensive too. £100 for one person. Anyway, won’t go again for sure.

Great steak in a nice location with perfect views across the river. Only downside is the size of the side dishes

The location is on the first floor of the Marriott Hotel. The advantage is that it is close to Big Ben and the London Eye. It is very convenient for tourists. You can drink coffee here, but the food is terrible and the desserts are not delicious.

A very disappointing meal. Restaurant with nice atmosphere. Ordered a medium rare filet received a medium well steak. Just by looking at the steak the chef should have known it was overcooked. Second steak was perfectly cooked. Rest of meal was average. Took 15+ minutes for replacement steak. Service was VERY slow.

La atención y servicio y un desayuno ligero para seguir el día en Londres con una vista muy bonita del Río y parlamento hace especial el día

The service and food at the Gillray’s is next level. The staff are welcoming, professional and go out of their way to make you have the best possible experience. Thank you to everyone we have met along the way, Rami, Laura and Jazz (to name a few) you are all amazing!

Food and service were great. Our server Lidya was very attentive and provided fantastic service. One in our party had a birthday today and upon hearing it, Lidya surprised us with a lovely birthday celebration pastry and berry dessert.

Another visit another beautiful breakfast. Nick the Chef never fails, and Sanda is the best, nothing is ever too much trouble for her. She goes out of her way everytime. I would definitely recommend dining here.

Even though the tip was included in the menu price, I faked it and took a double tip. This is a scam. In addition, I ordered medium rare, but it was the worst service, coming out medium.

They were delicious to eat. We had breakfast and it was nice

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Fish & Chips at Gilray’s. Friendly service too.

The waiters were nice and patient despite the manager being quite cold and inconsiderate. We booked a hotel room for a few nights and made a reservation to eat at this steakhouse. When we arrived we were told that somebody had taken our seat and to wait. And so we waited and ordered starters and some bar food. A very long hour later, the manager told us that there was finally a table for four but that we could not bring the starters we ordered in. Eventually we managed to and ordered our mains. And then we waited, and waited, and waited. For 2 straight hours and our food was never served. When we questioned the waiter, they went in and found out that our food, though ordered had never even been made. Worst service I have ever seen. 2 hours we waited for our food, and we still left with empty stomachs. The table beside us came even earlier and when we left in anger, their food still had not arrived and they were still waiting. The starters were average as well. The hotel room was not much better, we booked a room beside the river and what did we get, a view of concrete walls and a literal rubbish dump. Horrible, horrible, horrible. If I could have given 0 stars, heck even negative stars, I wholeheartedly and definitely would. This post is a warning for those who want to eat at this restaurant. You can find much cheaper and better food elsewhere. The only bright spot was that the amazing waitress took the effort to figure out our room number and brought us the food. The steak was great, burger was exquisite and the lobster was some of the freshest. Huge props to the waitress and I hope that in the next promotion of staff, the hotel will consider the kind heart and considerate actions of this superhero. I have yet to get her name but will try to do so tomorrow. For those who want to visit this hotel, you are much better off going to Hilton Paddington which we previously visited.

The food was amazing my only concern is that those couches are way too big and very much not comfortable relevant to the tiny little circle tables .I was rather disappointed that they didn’t have my favourite cocktail at a fancy place like that

Slow service, rude staff, sat waiting to even be recognised while later arriving guests were attended to.

Food was so so and service was not that great

The food was amazing! Extremely succulent T-bone steak, there was one lovely female waiter but the wait times for food and for attentiveness, when it wasn’t her, was poor. They do gluten free bread which was great. Otherwise stunning venue.

GREAT ATMOSPHERE AND VIEWS. FOOD WAS JUST OK.

Un restaurante de lujo a precios razonables. Vistas magníficas sobre el Támesis. Un servicio encantador por parte de la Srta. Ana, atenta y simpática.

Tiago’s the best barman in town! Such nice cocktails and attention to details. I recommend the A Street Crier!! Never tried anythimg similar

Excellent and friendly service all around! Sanda and Patricia consistently took care of us and made us feel welcomed while doing it. Well done and thank you!

Food was fantastic and the service was even better. Everyone was very attentive and extremely friendly. Will definitely be having breakfast here everyday during the stay.

Excelente el servicio, aún siendo familia vegana, buenas opciones para nosotros y el personal, sobre todo Sanda, pero en general todos súper amables, accesibles y cuidadosos a nuestras peticiones. La calidad de los alimentos de lo mejor. Y bueno, la ubicación espectacular. Con una gran vista a Westminster y el Big Ben.

We stayed at the hotel and breakfast at gillray’s was easy and delicious. It was especially lovely because we had the same waitress, Sanda, each day. She went out of her way to be greet us everyday and bring us our favorite treats. Thank you Sanda, you helped make our trip so memorable

Fantastic food good service amazing thank you. What more can I say we loved it and was a special treat. Good job guys. million thanks

Sanda was our server at Gill rays because of her our experience was top notch She was attentive funny and made our dining experience incredible The food was great as well If you head to Gillrays ASK FOR SANDA

Refined, elegant, tasteful and delicious. A classy London restaurant awaits anyone looking for a view and a great meal - from small bites and cocktails to lobster and steak. Exquisite dining experience and elite service with a spectacular view. Thank you Gillray’s - we will be coming back all the time.

Sanda did a wonderful job this morning with us. She was very prompt and attentive. We will be back to see her this week. Gilray’s offers an extensive breakfast menu.

So this Saturday, April 12th, I was at the restaurant when one of the servers asked a family with a child to leave the restaurant, because the child looked to be 1 year old and cried, I was a mother of three and I thought it was unnecessary on the part of the restaurant, If they don't accept crying children, let the parents know when they enter, not after they're eating, tell them to leave, this is a lack of respect for parents, if anyone is interested in going to the restaurant, don't go with children because they will be expelled

I don't recommend this place for those who have children. Today I saw them ask a couple to leave with a baby because it was bothering the other customers and only came back when the baby was calm, but the baby still didn't know how to speak so she only made normal noises of a baby. I found it disrespectful and rude to the couple. Unfortunately I think people have lost empathy with others, today maybe these parents were simply trying to have a good day and unfortunately felt excluded by the establishment. I hope they are more understanding and empathy with the next parents.

A lovely experience as I attempt to gently and gracefully ease my way back into dining out. Absolutely relaxed, unpretentious hospitality and atmosphere. The Luxurious architecture, inside and out, complements the restaurants widow views, of Westminster, parliament and the River Thames. brilliance all round. Family oriented, yet idea for singular persons (as myself) for couples.

This is our fifth day at the Marriott County Hall in London. Gilray’s is a fantastic restaurant attached to the hotel. Every morning we’ve had the pleasure of eating breakfast at Gilray’s. They have an extensive menu with great fruit, pastries, and egg dishes. Great coffee too. What really makes this restaurant is the service, from the hostess to the servers. A big shout out and thank you to Sanda, our amazing and attentive server who has taken care of us each morning with impeccable and friendly service.

Excellent and friendly service from Sanda. Good place to meet. Fantastic position and views of London. Nice to see an old building lovingly restored.

Mediocre. Honestly do not know why this place is so highly rated. The food was mediocre, my rare £50 steak was well done!. The wine list poor. Cocktails pretty bland and the service incredibly slow. I would never go back. If you want a good steak, amazing service and fantastic wine then the Hawksmoor every time. We only went here just to try something new.

Really enjoyed our time here. The breakfast was amazing & our waitress Sanda was lovely & very attentive. Will definitely be back!

My family and I spent 5 days at the Marriott and had breakfast each morning at Gillray’s. The food was fantastic, the almond croissants were to die for, and the service was impeccable! Sandra took amazing care of our large group! Highly recommend!!

A spectacular menu and exceptional service! My family and I had breakfast here daily during our stay at Marriott County Hall and were very pleased. Our favorite server was Sandra! She was so pleasant and passionate about her job!

please do not visit - far away from a steakhouse as we are used to - dress code is not adhered to - dishes according to the menu are not all available - overpriced - furnishings are damaged in many corners and ends - staff unqualified - so briefly described - please Don't include it in your gourmet plan when visiting London!!

I was here two times. The restaurant view is great. Their steak was always good. Just the services were not stable 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Lovely location and great service, but the bar menu is absurdly over-priced. £27 for fish & chips or a steak sandwich!

Excellent service from Ana Paula, Kathuna and Karla. They were very to our requests during breakfast. They are a big reason my family and I will return to this hotel next time we are around London.

Nice setting overlooking the UK Parliament. Service was a bit slow but the steak - we opted for the T-bone - was cooked to perfection and very succulent. Reasonable value for money too.

Stake good, lobster not so good. Service is ridiculous at best. And they forgot the lobster. We ordered only main courses, No bread basket, had to wait for my wine to age in the bottle at the bar before I could drink it. 4 servers,...

Our server Sanda was amazing. Chef Omar was incredible and very accommodating with a special request.

Sanda our server was absolutely amazing. Omar the chef was incredible. Both helped us with a special request. We were very happy.

Rarely have I eaten so badly for the money. By no means a steak specialty restaurant. Rather lower standard at high prices. There are dozens of better options in the area. Only the wine for a good 100 🪙 was sensational.

The view there is very nice, but the service is extremely slow. The food was ok but very expensive for what you get.

Before dinner, we stopped at the bar for drinks. I wanted a Gin and Tonic and Allen recommended a Spanish gin (Nordes) for my cocktail. It was the best G & T I ever had. He also recommended some other gins and whiskeys for my...

A lovely spot. High quality food in an up market setting but diners very casual on the whole. Service was good, and the meal was delicious. Cocktails a little on the pricey side but to be expected really when in a hotel restaurant on the...

Great environment and service. Praveen was the most helpful and knowledgeable about gluten free and dietary. He was also very helpfull with wine selection. I 100% suggest this place for dinner, with a good view and remarkable service.

The place is amazing, the view is incredible you can eat with the river view and the Big Ben as a background but the food quality is not the best, I asked for lobster and they have on the menu but they don’t have lobster, the meet was not bad but it was not good.

A beautiful space with amazing atmosphere. Best to make a reservation to avoid any awkward interactions at the entrance. The bar was excellent with an amazing barman giving top level service while I waited for my table. I had the dry aged rib eye and grilled lobster, both were remarkable. The service from our waitress was always on point, never rushed. Quite content with my experience, its pricey but I would pay for that steak any day.

Loved this restaurant for our family breakfast every morning during our week vacation in London. Sanda was the absolute best server. She made the whole experience perfect for the full week. Thank you for being so accommodating for our family. Views of the city and...

Ask for Sanda! She took care of everything we wanted and didn’t even know we wanted. Great breakfasts, American and English!

The service was great. Food was incredible and delicious. We were being served by this wonderful waitress Sanda who remembered our orders after the very first time she saw us and after saying “let me get the same thing” the next day, she immediately knew...

Just a perfect spot. The service, atmosphere, accommodation, location, food, drinks... You can try British gins and food, and the service is amazing. Absolutely loved it and will come every time I find myself in London.

Excellent, huge portion breakfast that is included with your stay at the Marriott County Hall. Our server, Sandra, was polite and very attentive.

I have never seen a restaurant review page with so many staff mentioned in almost every review. Ummm. Anyway, we ate dinner here on a midweek evening and the food and service was pretty good. It was disappointing that we were greeted with a list...

Always wonderful service, and fabulous food. We truly enjoy every opportunity to eat in The Library with the excellent service and hospitality, especially servers Ana Paula and Kathuna!

So so bad, go somewhere else. We waited over two hours for food, which is absolutely ridiculous seeing as the restaurant was half empty. The food was mediocre, the sides were mostly oil and salt rather than actual seasoned food. You can enjoy the same view for free right outside. Here, it seems that you are paying for their rent, not for the food. All 7 of our steaks were so tough that none of us finished our food. We did not come to this overpriced restaurant to be served worse steaks than they give to dogs!!! The only saving Grace was our lovely, patient and understanding waitress who made the experience less hellish. Very grateful to her! I do not recommend, there are many much better places within walking distance that charge less money for far better quality food.

The visit to GrillRay’s restaurant left me disappointed. On a positive note, the Filet Steak and grilled lobster were enjoyable, and the service was excellent. Unfortunately, I ordered and finished the beef tartare alone due to hunger, even though it wasn't very tasty. However, the chocolate sundae ice cream could have been better, and it was served without a red cherry on top. After leaving the restaurant, it took half an hour to reach home. Luckily, I started feeling unwell after arriving home, not in the car, with food poisoning symptoms like vomiting and stomach pain for many hours. I had a fever without medicine until the next day evening, prompting me to seek medical help.

Came for a celebration lunch with a large group of family members ranging from 2 to 76 years old and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Food was lovely, service was very good (Khatuna was our waitress) and we even got a rare group photo afterwards at the main entrance by a member of staff who happened to be walking past us taking photos. It is also a secret oasis away from the tourist madness outside!

Gilrays is a steak lovers paradise 😃😃😃

Average steak but the side dishes were boring. The service was slow.

The best place in Abu Dhabi, the meat is excellent, perhaps even an understatement, in short you can't forget it. Special thanks to Alam who assisted us with all the elegance and refinement of a specific context, and above all for his patience with us. A perfect intimate dinner ❤️

This is a restaurant of the hotel. Service, cuisine, atmosphere, everything is top-notch. The staff is caring and friendly. The receptionist was a Ukrainian woman, which was a pleasant surprise. She is a very polite and pleasant woman. After communicating with such people, I want to visit the facility again. This is a restaurant from the hotel.

We went to this restaurant for Valentine's Day, perfect restaurant Perfect service thanks to (Eren)

Service was brilliant, very attentive. The food was really nice too! Great vibe and atmosphere.

The restaurant was horrible service and the lady rolled her eyes when we asked about what type of steak it was. Made us very uncomfortable and we cancelled the order and left. Do not go here. I do not recommend. Hemat Gave the water free. Not bad. Still do not recommend .

Please note, this experience was in January of 2019. This was for lunch, just after 11. Nice place, good decor. The waitress was from Georgia and very kind. I ordered a steak with truffle chips. The steak was cooked perfectly, had a good sear, and the flavor was good. I got 3 bites into it, and found a human hair under the steak. It was rather thick, black, and about 4cm long. I told the waitress, and she went to get someone, I assume from the kitchen. A person came from the back and without saying anything, quickly cleared my table, including the chips I was eating. I said I'm happy to eat these, but they said no, we have to take everything. Fifteen minutes later, I got what was the same steak, but now it was overcooked and seemed like it was boiled. I think someone said it was undercooked instead of saying "There is a huge black hair on the steak". I did get chips back, but they were smaller almost like fries, and they were saturated with truffle oil to the point of being inedible. I got ready to leave, and someone came out that I think was the manager, and was watching me put on my coat. He asked how everything was. I told him the steak was overcooked and boiled with no color on it, and the fries are almost clear from being soaked in oil. His reply was that "this just isn't your day for food" and "better luck next time". I paid £55 just to know where to never go again. I gave 2 stars for food because of the initial taste, they have it in them to do it well, but the communication and lack of hair nets made it a bad experience.

That was an amazing steak. The food was fantastic. We also really appreciate the super service. Everybody was very friendly and quick to answer any questions. Wonderful views as well.

Great place with amazing views over the river. The food was amazing and the staff were amazing. Its located up a staircase next to the London Aquarium. We visited lunchtime on a Saturday and it was really quiet.

Stoped in ..: empty restaurant. 30 to 40 minutes wait for a table still empty when we left. Bar in front of restaurant is very nice. Piano player nice atmosphere. Finally seated after 30 minutes Ordered the Ribeye it was a skinny cut and flavorless. Sides ok. Service slow as molasses.

We had reserved the London eye and got there a couple of hours earlier. Westiminster was crowded and we were frustrated . This restaurant was a hidden gem ! We were lucky enough to be seated without a reservation. The food was nice, the service friendly and the ambience wonderful . The lavatory was immaculately clean. To cut the long story short this restaurant saved our day ! I would definitely suggest it for lunch/dinner or just beverages since there is such an option.
