The only thing we didn’t really know is that the restaurant bills us the table cover charge and also charges extra sauce for steak which it has already charge extra £15 supplement on the lunch menu, even the food and service are both good anyway.

We had preciously went to Orrery as a family and really enjoyed it. So yesterday we decided to invite friend for a very special dinner and host them at Orrery. For a Saturday night, it was almost empty which was a bit awkward and questionable. The service was helpful but nothing special. The food was what surprised us. Previously we were very impressed by the food but yesterday the starter and the main dish were lower than our expectations for such a value. Especially the desert - we ordered panna cota and couldn’t even eat it after taking a bite. Overall it was disappointing because we really wanted to host our guests at a special restaurant and it didn’t live up to the expectations.

Great food, customer service and a nice menu with each dish cooked well and a lovely wine list too. The cheese tasting experience for dessert is very good and the staff are very knowledgeable and passionate. Love this restaurant and definitely one of my favourites in Marylebone and for special occasions.

Where do I even begin. Orrery is an absolute hidden gem in Marylebone tucked away at the end of the high street. We enjoyed every course of our food, not only it’s delicious, the chef is creative and playful to tasting palettes. It’s just one of the kind. Service is impeccable, not rushed, detail oriented and very attentive. We came here to celebrate a birthday, the team made note of it and made the night extra special to my boyfriend. All in all, it’s worth every penny and we will definitely return. Hands down one of the best French restaurants we have been to in London.

The food was fabulous, and we were tempted by all the more expensive things so it was not cheap. But everything delicious and generous portions. Good wine list, also not cheap but excellent choice. Service attentive but not intrusive. It got busy so noise level went up but we were able to have a conversation all evening. No pressure to leave.

From the time we entered the dining room and were greeted so enthusiastically, we felt special and the waiting staff continued to make us relaxed. The food was wonderful and not expensive.

Bread/butter and starter of chicken parfait, with a shot of warm French onion soup on the side was a spectacular start to the meal. Ordered the duck breast for main. When the waiter brought it to the table he poured the sauce all over the food without asking, or just placing it at the side of the dish to let me use. The port wine sauce was far too strong and ruined most of the main course for me. Staff otherwise were great and was a nice tranquil atmosphere.

We both have the same dish : Parfait with chicken Sea bass We both been very sick on our way home . The service was very slow . The starter was a chicken Parfait , the toast was cold and the parfait was itself wrapped in a fine crunchy layer . Not a good association. The sea bass was well balanced but we did not like the artichoke, too hard and too big .

We have eaten at Orrery many times and in terms of food, yesterday's was the best we have had. Altogether, a very good and most enjoyable occasion. The only reason we only gave a 4 for Value was the service charge which is now 13.5% and the wine which, albeit good, is very pricy. Andrew and Julia Taylor.

I took my partner here for his 50th. It was an absolute shambles. When booking the restaurant I notified them I have an allergy to chillies. When picking items from menu, I ask which dishes I could eat & explain I have allergy to chillies. We waited ages for starters to arrive. My partner's starter finally came & the waiter informed me the starter I ordered had chillies, plonked the menu infront of me to indicate I had to pick another dish. Meanwhile, my partner picked at his starter which was cold & underseasoned. We didn't say anything as I was already having difficulty with the waiter... I asked which starter could I have, i.e. didn't have chillies. He told me, "wait," marches off & comes back after quite a while & says, "we can offer you goats cheese & beetroot but it's off menu." An age later, he brings out a bowl of beetroot, slams on the table & marches off. I call him back & ask where is the cheese? He says, "it has chillies, so all we can offer you is beetroot." I ask, "all your cheese has chillies?" He marches off, comes back with a side dish of 2 slices of goats cheese & a side bowl of yoghurt. Clearly its "build your own starter" day at Orrery. We wait an age for plates to be cleared & for mains to arrive. My partner had ordered steak. The waiter had advised him, "chef recommends having it medium rare." Chef clearly forgot their advice, as it was well done, a skin formed on the sauce & served cold. I'd ordered duck & was advised that it's served pink... yet it was brown & tepid, served with cold vegetable sides. We sent the steak back which made our already aloof waiter advance into hyper avoidance mode. I was given a free glass of rose by another kinder waiter, in an attempt to pacify the situation. My partner had to ask for a drink too. Partner's steak arrives by which time I'd finished my main, my dishes were cleared & we were ignored for a while longer. Aloof waiter finally clears partner's plates & takes dessert order. Chocolate for him, panna cotta for me... wait for an age... the afternoon shift has finished & we're now watching another waiter iron tablecloths on the table in front of ours, gearing up for the evening service. Desserts arrive, slammed on table by aloof waiter whom immediately matches off. Chocolate for partner ...& what's this, crumble for me. I hate crumble. Call back waiter. He ignores us. Manage to get attention of other waiter, who brings out correct dessert & happy birthday chocolates. All waiters practically dissappear at this point, meaning the only way to pay bill was by going to front desk, where head waiter who'd been aware of all the mistakes totally ignored me. Another waiter gave me the bill & had the decency to charge less than full price. It was like being in an episode of Faulty Towers. I really disliked Orrery.

Lo principal que tiene este restaurante es su ubicación y la decoración interior, que es agradable. Desafortunadamente, eso no fue igualado por el resto de la experiencia gastronómica. El restaurante estaba casi vacío cuando llegamos, así que me decepcionó la larga espera para nuestra comida. Pedí la lubina salvaje con puré. La lubina estaba llena de sabor, pero definitivamente era un poco pequeña por el precio. Sin embargo, el puré era demasiado desigual para mi gusto. También me decepcionaron los diversos cargos adicionales que, según se supo, no fueron transferidos al personal. En general no es el estándar que esperaba para un restaurante que es caro.
