Plum and Spilt Milk in Camden

What a lovely restaurant this is. Great food, great service and so very reasonable. We had the set menu which has limited availability and it was delicious. We will definitely return if we are in the area and I would highly recommend it to others.

Ate here for a Christmas present and had a great evening. Staff were very attentive and we felt well looked after. When we had a small issue, it was dealt with promptly and we could not be happier. Food was amazing and hard pressed to choose the best course. Really recommend dining here

I always come to this restaurant when I'm in London, and it never disappoints. The food was excellent, and the staff were very professional and kind. In fact, it was so good, I had dinner in here on both the days that I was down there. Special thanks to Sandra, and Matteo who waited on me during the service. I recommend this restaurant to you, if you want fine dining in a relaxing and calming atmosphere. Five Stars!

From the warm welcome on arrival and through the high levels of professional service throughout our lunch, it was a please to eat at Rails. This is most definitely the place for meat-eaters and the Barnsley chop exceeded expectations as did the roasted vegetables with which it was served. Desserts were tasty and appeared home made, as was the tangy blackcurrant sorbet on the side of my pear tarte. With a good bottle of red, what more could you ask? I can’t wait to come back.

We had our corporate Christmas Lunch here last week and what a merry gathering it was. Our group size was 50 so we had exclusive use of the restaurant which provided the perfect backdrop for our festive meal. Maria was the event coordinator who looked after our party and it was an absolute delight managing the event with her. The whole process was professional and efficient and well thought through. From a meal per-order link, various drinks packages to the seating plan, it was all brilliantly coordinated. The staff on the day were a delight. At no time was a glass not filled or a request not dealt with swiftly. The food was magnificent and portion’s generous! Can’t recommend the venue and the entire team enough for their attention to detail and pride in their craft! Thank you Rails and thank you Maria for being so easy to work with.

My wife took us for a family meal - the set menu. It was absolutely fabulous, for the set menu the plate sizes were very generous and the food excellent. It is hard to find good food in London for a reasonable cost and all three of our teenagers loved it as well. Highly recommended.

Lovely little bolt hole nice and warm away from the bustle of the train station with very nice cocktails. The staff are polite and friendly

Quick dinner upon arrival in London. Beautiful ambience but the fare was mixed: very good ribeye; chickpea and tomatoes had excellent aubergine; eggplant dish was not good. Stone bass was tasty. Service was fine but not noteworthy. Enjoyed the round corner booth!

Lovely late afternoon catchup. Was made very welcoming by Balazs in the lower bar while I waited for my friend. Early dinner was nicely presented and cooked. The staff were very attentive and we were both made to feel welcome. Service is a key part of an experience and I can say it was spot on,

The food here is excellent. We had smoked salmon, terrine, mussels, scallops and chicken, and it was all delicious. The chef is fantastic. The only reason why it didn't get 5/5 was because of the service. It was haphazard at best. I would still come back for the food though!

These guys do a pretty good job overall. Staff were professional, polite & attentive, delivering a warm, efficient greeting, & bothering to check on how we found our meals, topping up water & noting empty wine glasses. Management also kept a watchful eye & the place felt well run. I’ve stayed previously at the hotel & found that to be the case in general. I opted for the £28 for 3 courses set lunch ( £22 for 2) & found it decent value, with quality options like smoked salmon & seabass. Food was pleasant enough & well presented. Only the cheese course let the side down (a bit dried up). Good wine list & cocktails. It is a handsome dining room, with a good buzz.

Lovely rooms with great facilities and a broad enough menu. Service excellent and food good though a tad pricey for what it is. Bt very convenient for Kings Cross and St. Pancras station. Tow of our party had to leave early to catch a train and the staff did a separate bill for them without fuss. Fish options seemed to be appreciated by those that had them. Overall a good place to meet.

A truly lovely venue for afternoon tea. Great atmosphere and value. RAILS must have an incredible pastry chef; the pastries were out of this world! Staff very attentive and went out of their way to accommodate and make a fuss of us as we celebrating my friend expecting. Thank you.

It’s a nice place. staff were lovely and the interior was really posh. food took a while to come and the burger was a little dry.

Great restaurant and atmosphere, even greater waiter Massimo! Definitely recommended for good food and service

Lovely surroundings and friendly welcome. The tea was lovely with interesting cakes. Minor complaints was that sandwich fillings were quite ordinary but nice to have a wrap included. There is never enough jam and cream and I do like a savoury tart to start. There was a good choice of tea and the timer was a good idea. The tea and food arrived very promptly and was delicious. Highly recommended,

Previously Plum and Spilt milk when we have eaten here in the past, as we have done several times over the years. Lovely restful décor and pleasant, if a little slow, service. I had the delicious Barnsley lamb chop and my wife had the duck- also delicious. The mango cheesecake dessert was also very tasty. Nice choice of wines and overall a very pleasant and relaxed meal.

At first, impressive, but somehow the food fell well beneath the quality the prices led us to expect -- especially the scallops gratin served on shells. Only four of them, small, overcooked, and dry. The a la carte veggies were disappointing too, the string beans could have been dumped out of a can. There is a positive, I will say: a fine maitre d' who, when we realized the next table of 20-somethings were only going to get louder, moved us swiftly to a quiet corner. Overall, at £168 for two (including two glasses of bubbly and a bottle of wine) not at all worth the fare. Won't go there again.

Me and my wife dined here with a small group to celebrate our wedding, and it was terrific. From the delicious food to the drinks, decor, and friendly staff, this was a great place to have a fancy meal. Obviously not cheap as you'd expect, but well worth it if you're looking to treat yourselves.

We booked here to celebrate our wedding - we was a small booking but we couldn’t rate the service we received highly enough. From our first contact with Maria she was exceptionally helpful, super organised and nothing was too much trouble for her, the food was simply outstanding and the ambience of the private room we had was brilliant. She even arranged the logistics of us having a cake delivered and it was setup where we needed it when we arrived. Service from everyone on the day was again completely wonderful and we are so pleased we found this venue for our celebration. Thanks again Maria and everyone at RAILS

Locale stupendo in un edificio storico recentemente restaurato. Cibo nella media, abbastanza anonimo, anche a causa di un menù pranzo (non segnalato) davvero poco interessante. Peccato, forse la sera meglio.

Thinking of a dinner in King Cross and St. Pancras London? If you are travelling to/from London, then yes this restaurant is the perfect choice for you! Located just a stone throw from the rail station, RAILS Restaurant & Little Bar is nestled within Great Northern Hotel. Serving British-French cuisine and freshly grilled dished, Rails pays homage to their links to Paris and the romance of travel. The interior is inspired by the Parisian deco that will give you a relaxed dining experience. Sharing my recommendation for your next visit: C O C K T A I L S: - Sassy Negroni - Elderflower and Cucumber Spritz S T A R T E R S: - Atlantic Prawn Cocktail - Classic Beef Tartare - Sourdough and Focaccia with butter M A I N S - Chicken Cordon Bleu G R I L L S - Fillet 200g with red wine jus and frites D E S S E R T S - Mango Cheesecake - Pistachio Creme Brûlée

Food was very good (mostly). The benedicts we had were nicely made (runny eggs) and very tasty, but they were a bit on the cold side (maybe standing on the pass for too long?). The hollandaise sauce was pretty stingy, but tasty. The toast we ordered as a side took a long time to arrive, and in reality was just warm bread. The team did take it off of the bill though But and the primary reason for three stars, is that the service was so slow. In fact apart from being sat at a table it was so slow......

This is a beautiful venue and the service was attentive and courteous however the afternoon tea we had was disappointing. The sandwiches and mini brioche were bland and a bit dry. The cakes were also underwhelming. It’s probably just teething problems - a bit more...

Lovely location, attentive staff however the food was very disappointing. Eggs Benedict - overcooked poached eggs, no runny yolk! Odd tasting ham and very dry muffin, gloopy hollandais. English breakfast, sparse to say the least but tasty nevertheless . Jam and marmalade pots had already...

5 star food and service! We will definitely be back the food really was sensational, massive compliments to the chef! We never knew chips could taste that gourmet and the steak was succulent, light, juicy and simply just delicious! The service was nothing less than...

I have to be honest, I was a bit skeptical about coming here after reading some of the other reviewers' comments about how slow the service was and how rude they felt some of the staff were, but the person I was meeting was coming...

Really poor. No taste in starter (Bisque) or Moules. Dessert ok. It’s like the ‘chef’ had no taste buds. Moules served in deep dishwater - no flavour/sauce to dip bread into ! Mussels were ok but with no sauce or flavour ie garlic/cream/herbs/shallots etc was...

Great service - had a lovely 2hrs chill out with lovely champagne with friends before we headed home - had great nibbles and we were well & truly looked after by Ketchen (hope I got that right ) so 10/10 !

I only went back based on a review I had written, however I won't bother again. Having travelled the world to seventy plus countries, I can safely say service in the UK is one of the worst and it is places like this that contribute...

I had not been to the restaurant now called Rails since it was formerly The Plum and Spilt Milk. I had dinner and breakfast. On both occasions the service was excellent. The staff were friendly, smiling, attentive, well organised and efficient. The food was promptly...

Pressed for time I wanted to have a nice - but quick - meal that wouldn’t be in one of the fast food outlets at the station. Rails was great with fast and efficient service and the steak was also very good. Nice ambient and...

Since they changed the name to Rails this has shockingly gone down with service primarily to blame. A lot of the reviewers appear to have said what I am going to say but management are not doing anything! Their reading the reviews! Do something. I...

Visited for family lunch. Very disappointing. Food was lukewarm at best and the turkey roast dinner I had reminded me of a school dinner and was completely tasteless. Another meal was an absolutely tiny steak with an extremely small portion of unappetising looking fries, which...

I booked what I originally thought was lunch, when I arrived I was informed that I was having afternoon tea, even though this was at 13.30. We had the tea, as Kings Cross was very busy being December. Afternoon tea was acceptable but not what...

After a relatively lacklustre welcome during which I felt, well. somewhat neglected, my experienced improved primarily due to great service by one of the waiters, Chris. He was thoughtful, interesting and relaxed, suggesting I move to a better table and engaging well with my guest...

Food and service were good. The restaurant was very cold when we took our table and although it warmed up a little as it became busier, it was essentially very cold all evening.

For a restaurant in such a prime location - between Kings Cross and St Pancras stations - Rails should be a dining destination of choice. Unfortunately, the choice you should make is to avoid it entirely. Rails is the recently rebranded Plum and Spilt Milk...

I used to go to Plum + Spilt Milk when I was traveling from London to Paris to get some breakfast or brunch before my train ride. I don't know what changed, but they recently changed their name to "Rails" and it is not as I remember it. The host was rude when we showed up for our reservation. Our food was mediocre, at best. And the service was pretty lousy. I don't know if they changed management, but I don't think I will be returning here the next time I'm in town...

Changed its name to RAILS and it is not off to a good start! Charming servicr..Food average and one guest had to wait ages for a sole to be deboned! It was the worst deboned sole i have ever seen and served barely warm. They should at least have taken it off the bill but they did not. We like using this place as it is a convenient place for us all to meet up. Shame

Good food and service. Menu a is restricted.

The whole experience was very nice. Service, food, location are all excellent. Will be using again, many thanks

Perfect for a breakfast meeting, nice & quiet and staff were fab. Good if you love eggs.

Really lovely meal here - staff were attentive and friendly. A little pricey but very good. Great for business meetings as it's very private. Would visit again.

Delightful, bright restaurant with an interesting menu and charming service. between us we had Dorset crab salad, Sea bream, Pea and asparagus risotto. We shared new potatoes and carrots and an Eton Mess (Etonians never had it this good). Evrything was faultless and the atmosphere...

Food portions small for price More vegan options would be welcomed Great setting and decor Staff friendly and quick

Very lovely food in a gorgeous setting. Thank you.

At the corner of Kings Cross this slightly hidden restaurant offers a haven of peace, quiet and comfort from the hustle and bustle down at street level. Wood panelled with comfortable chairs this is a place to relax. A fairly short but appealing menu and excellent wine list are provided. Service is professional attentive and smart. The crab starter and fish main course were well presented very tasty and reasonably priced. Even the desserts tempted me - a delicious and artistically presented crème caramel with added fruits. A lunch of this quality including aperitifs and a bottle of Pinot Noir for £100 per head in this area seemed excellent value. We will go again!

The staff were delightful and so friendly and engaging. The food was just ok. Both our main course meats were very chewy ( some of which is down to the cut but not totally). The vegetables were great and the crab start was very good.

If I could give them more stars, I would! Delicious food and the staff were incredible. They went out of their way to make our meal special Will 1000% be coming back soon!

Beautiful venue. Food was OK - though the eton mess was amazing. Service was slow and unattentive. Had to keep asking serving staff for things - drinks menu, to be able to order, asked twice for coffee, asked for condiments. Very slack on the service front and it wasn't even that busy Drinks menu lacked non alcoholic alternatives - e.g seedlip/alcohol free spirits or beers that would be commonly available in a supermarket. Overall it was ok. Nothing special. Good location but there are many other restaurants in Kings Cross I'd go to instead next time I'm in the area

Everything was great apart from the fact that our reservation was at 10am….and they closed the kitchen AT 10AM!!! So they wanted us to order as soon as we sat down and we felt very rushed. So weird they allowed us to reserve at that time! The service and food was amazing though, so I’d definitely come back…just not at closing time!

Went there because Condi Nast listed it in its top 50 restaurants in London. It's located near St Pancras Station and so was conveniently located for me. The food was good but nothing special: the crab salad consisted of a quenelle of minced crab, with a piece of toast and some dill cucumbers. I had the poached trout for the main course with French fries. The fish was bland though cooked well. I then waited for a waiter to show me the dessert menu. No-one offered and the restaurant was not full. I had to ask a waiter for some tea and again had to ask another waiter who walked by for the bill. The price was reasonable but I would not rush there again.

This was a good place to catch up for a quiet chat over refreshments tea or coffee . It’s more of a restaurant but mid afternoon was quiet . I think they expected us to eat but it’s a really good place for a business coffee near at Pancras and kings cross stations. The decor and ambience was lovely.

Friendly and polite staff. Clean and nice deco. Thanks

Absolutely delicious. Really great service. Thank you very much.

Had a really nice brunch for husband’s birthday. Delays with our food getting to us but lots of apologies and the team looking out for us consistently

Definitely will go back-steak needed resting but rest excellent. Service particularly good.

It was a lovely experience during our first day in London. Christopher was very friendly as our server.

This place is on the first floor, not the ground floor, which also serve food as Bistro/bar. It’s very well appointed and waiters/tresses are in a modern uniform. They were excellent. The food was good. We enjoyed the experience and will go again. It’s not at all like a busy station venue up there.

Good service and very comfortable plus tasty lunch

very expensive and food not good enough. ambience lovely

We had breakfast at the restaurant after arriving at Kings Cross early. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and we chatted a lot. Mostly, though, we were very surprised at the quality of the food. Not only was it well prepared and presented, but the quality of the ingredients was clear. We will eat here again.

Beautiful dining room. Really good service. Breakfast was one English breakfast at £19 which had 1 egg, 1 sausage, 1 piece of bacon. It was ok but def nothing special even in the taste and poached eggs on toast with avocado, again really plain, no chillies, onions etc in the avocado. Was still glad we went to experience the atmosphere etc but have had way way way better brekkies.

Discovered this gem completely by accident butcdecided to book it celebrate my cousin's birthday. The decor is classic but not stuffy- so comfortable. Our server Christopher was excellent and sweet and the front of house manager was very attentive. Their recommendations from the menu were spot on! Asparagas, lamb, Eton mess/chocolate mousse. Prepared to perfection! Don't forget a bottle of rosé- delicious! I can't wait to return accompanied by my friends! Worth every penny spent!

We were very pleased to have discovered Plum & Spilt Milk and had a very pleasant evening. The food, service, and ambiance were quite special. The sea bream and trout were very well prepared, and our waiter Chris took good care of the 3 of us. We also found the building and ATT work very interesting. We are happy to recommend this unique restaurant-.

Nice simple and enjoyable meal with a client from HK. Thank you and I’ll be back

This is our regular Breakfast place when visiting London. Never disappoints.

It is a nice place and the staff were helpful but a couple of points: - the crispy bacon was so crispy it was difficult to cut - everything arrived together - the plum yogurt pot and the fruit salad should have arrived first, followed by the main hot dishes. This meant they had to be eaten after the mains. Thank you.

Lovely environment. Food ok but expensive.

The food and service was really excellent. We went for a late lunch when it was 98 F outside. The restaurant was air conditioned and had a wonderful ambience. Make reservation in advance! When we came back to Kings Cross later that evening we stopped in at the GNH bar for a drink; which was also very nice.

We eat here on business quite regularly, and always enjoy the food and the service. Yes, it's expensive, but everything is very good quality, and worth the money. It's very comfortable, you're well looked after, and I'm always happy to go back.

My guest was late and the staff were very tactful about offering us breakfast when he arrived even though it was almost at the end of service. This is a great restaurant

Great food and service and perfect location. Couldn't fault it

An excellent venue close to Kings Cross and St Pancras. Stylish layout, good food, pleasant service sometimes a bit slow. Not cheap but good value. Ideal for a celebration.

We had a special occasion to celebrate and were delighted with the venue and food. Highly recommended and we will return.

A beautiful, quiet and calm restaurant which is hard to find in the buzz of Kings Cross.

Fantastic meal. The Steak really is a must. All the family loved it. Highly recommend

A high quality establishment right at the heart of Kings Cross. Keep in mind that this will attract it's own £ premium, but the food was lovely, service was good and the venue was really lovely. I'll certainly go back

Always worth a visit. Good to be back again. Good food and lovely setting.

Great staff and service. Food was ok for it's price

Very average food but very expensive. Ordered the sweetcorn fritters and poached eggs - the eggs were over cooked and not runny. My friend had the pancakes and they were very dry. When charging £4.80 for a black Americano - you expect better! We were the only people in there so no excuse either.

Visited on a Saturday for Brunch. Not bad. Menu had grubby finger marks on it which is something so easily rectified and creates a nicer impression. Waiting staff were ok but didn’t seem very happy or friendly. Nice options on the menu. Food good. The whole experience was just ‘ok’ Would rather get a table at the Booking Office in the St Pancras hotel.

Beautiful atmosphere staff are friendly and welcoming really relaxing peaceful ambiance. Great place to eat away from hustle and bustle of the station. Good food and nice portions.

Free-dairy pudding. And more cocktails. Lovely dinner room. I wish other room is private room I like it. Next time I will book it other room.

Really outstanding as always. Thank you very much - great food

I booked this for my boss for an upscale business lunch and it was a hit. I've had nothing but rave reviews and a request that all our wine & dine plans are booked here instead of German Gymnasium or the like. Definitely recommend and will definitely be booking again. Thanks so much!

Excellent. Highly recommend the menu, quality of food and especially the service. Beautiful interior and building.

A great setting in the middle of the chaos of Kings Cross. Our waiter was very understanding of our need to chat and take time to place our order. We were then the last people in the restaurant until it closed which is a testament to feeling comfortable and enjoying the ambience.

Food was average. Price tag was Michelin level. Service was good.

Considerably over-priced for what it is. Portions were small and each additional item added cost £5 each.

Fantastic food, fantastic service. Really went the extra mile - we will be back!

Lovely team very professional and unhurried experience. Great food too thanks

A striking interior and calm atmosphere promised a great 'date night' evening. But from the start service was slow and unmotivated; we had to keep chasing staff for water, to order pre-dinner drinks, for the wine list, for bread, for taking our order, etc. The wine we wanted was no longer available - but they would not provide an alternative at the same price bracket - so we were forced to 'upgrade'. Btw: G but didn't complain as felt already exhausted from all the efforts to catch the staff's attention! Main course: the steak was decent while the sea bream was disappointing; overall food could be described as decent but overpriced (go to Gaucho for better quality steak and service at same price bracket). 3 course meal approx £90 pp. So my summary is 'nice but overpriced'.

Hubby has wanted to eat here for a while so our first opportunity to be child free we booked a table for Saturday night. We had a lovely table with a fab view of the St Pancras hotel. Service was swift and professional although not...
