Frayer at St. Martin Lane, London, provided outstanding service during our visit. Friendly and efficient, he made us feel welcome from the start. His fluency in Spanish added a personal touch that impressed us as my grandparents do not know english. Throughout our meal, Frayer was attentive and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. If you dine here, definitely ask for him, we had an amazing time.

The afternoon tea at The Den was amazing, the taste and look of everything was amazing. We went with a 8 mo baby and the seating disposition left enough space for him not to be overwhelmed, besides that the staff was super friendly. Kahinoor served us the whole time and made us feel very comfortable and accommodated. My mum, who is very picky about food, and my husband who is picky about the amount of food 😂 both left very happy after it. The next table had a dog so it seems it is also pet friendly. Finally, I can't help mentioning the decoration of the room that was funny and interesting, we had a nice moment checking the paintings.

Great service from the start, was seated and seen to promptly ordered a prawn starter which we honestly did not enjoy as much but I believe that was due to our palette and not the dish however the staff still noticed this even though we had not mentioned this to them and comped the dish from our final bill which we found very kind steak was great and even managed to convert my partner to eating medium rare instead of well done after enough convincing from me the presentation of all courses was great as well which is always important as id mentioned it was a birthday occasion on our open table reservation the chef was kind enough to send out beautiful desserts for us making the day more special and after this the staff even invited us to visit “Blind Spot” for cocktails after our meal, where the atmosphere and drinks were amazing here i was served a great old fashioned even though i asked for this specially as it was not on the menu, i would also reccomend the sydney and the copenhagen overall great products with even better service thank you :)

The restaurant is at the ground floor of the hotel’s lobby. Nice interior and ambience. Staffs are friendly and service was fantastic. Ordered the pre-theatre menu via Timeout. We paid £30pp for 3 courses including a glass of house wine. Had the octopus for starters, pan seared cod for mains and pear tart for dessert. Pear tart was quite good, the rest were ok. Great place to catch up with friends in a less noisy setting. We also didn’t feel rushed to leave the restaurant.

We ordered an omelette and acai bowl. The acai bowl was not an acai bowl. It actually contained no acai at all and was just a yogurt base. When we asked our waitress about it she confirmed there was no acai in it at all and that it was just a yogurt bowl with fruit. It would have been nice if she would have flagged that the name was incorrect on the menu as we assumed the acai was mixed with the yogurt based off the name and description. It was good, but very disappointing at the same time as it was not what I ordered. I would have definitely ordered something else if I would have been aware. The omelette was very good with a lot of spinach which was a nice change up from other places that skimp on it.

Great service, and food was quite nice. Went here for dinner with a friend. Sadly they hadn't noticed my advanced request for gluten-free in the booking, so the bread I got was old and very dry compared to my friend's lovely big portions of standard bread. Note that if you use a voucher (we used a Timeout deal), the portions are smaller than normal, so you then have to pay more on side dishes. Nice enough venue, good music (quite loud which was fine for us, but may not be to everyone's taste). Was practically empty on a Friday night The lights are too bright which impacts the intimacy of dining out.

Dinner last night was a joke. Ordered olives and nuts with our drinks which never arrived. Service was extremely slow. My starter of rabbit terrine was dry and tasteless my main course of chicken Was overcooked and extremely dry. Water for the table had to be chased up. The manager disappeared and I think he probably ended up working in the kitchen. They did take my main course off the bill but it was still over £400 for four of us. There is something very wrong here.this place used to be fantastic. On a Saturday in December with every other bar/restaurant in the west end totally full this restaurant was almost empty which show that this level of extremely poor service has been going on for some time and the word has got around.

Got served by an irritating man offering unintelligible novelty coffee(which is average). The wifi also doesn't work. Given this is the type of place you would go to drink coffee and use the wifi without stress it is a surprising failure. At least you can look out the window while pondering the frustration.
