Scenery is very gloomy, dark and tired. Food was alright, overpriced for what you get. Though you're paying more for the location and reputation if anything. I've had better for less, with more atmosphere and scenery.

Quite a find; 1 minute from the mayhem of Regents Street and 4 from Oxford Circus and felt like a million miles away in a quiet road just off the main thoroughfare. Great lighting, relaxed but classy. Good service, lovely food. The teens came with us and we all liked it. Cool bar too.

From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the warm, rustic décor that feels both cozy and vibrant. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance, making it an ideal spot for both casual dining and fun gatherings with friends. Service was outstanding throughout our visit. Our server was not only attentive but also knowledgeable about the menu, recommending some of their best dishes. We felt well taken care of without being rushed. Overall, Mary’s est delivers an excellent dining experience that’s sure to satisfy any craving. It’s definitely on my list to revisit, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic bar & grill experience!

Having visited Sael a couple of weeks ago it seemed a good idea to try Jason Atherton’s other west end restaurant tuck away just off Regents Street. It’s a small menu and I have to say a first for me was gravy poured over the Caesar salad! But it was all delicious. A good wine list by the glass and crispy fries. Unusually the bar was quieter than the restaurant which is very noisy. No mention of specials although other tables were told. That’s both his restaurants that have done that.

Dinning at Mary’s est.2024 was a feast for all the senses . The service was impeccable . The servers are attentive without being intrusive .speaking of dish each and every dish was a revelation . The menu showcased creativity and deep respect for quality ingredients . What truly sets Mary’s est. 2024 apart is its ability to create an experience. It’s not just a place to eat; it’s a place to savor, celebrate, and make memories. Whether it’s for a special occasion or simply a treat-yourself kind of night, Mary’s est delivers on every front. I can’t wait to return and explore more .Highly recommended.

Un problema común con los restaurantes caros es que no sirven para vegetarianos. Muy poca elección a pesar de ofrecer un menú vegetariano. Plato de champiñones Shiitake uno de los platos más desagradables que he probado. Imagina un plato de encurtido en vinagre frío con algunas virutas de alguna miga en la parte superior. El entrante de calabaza estuvo bueno. No hay comida caliente vegetariana disponible en noviembre. Nadie nos preguntó si estábamos disfrutando de nuestra comida.

We were really disappointed after dining at Mary’s. The food was fine but not mind blowing. And this in itself would have been ok had the price not been extortionate. At this price point we would have expected the menu to have been elevated somewhat. We were a large booking and were asked pre-order. Again this would have been fine but after being asked to place our order the menu changed three times in a month, the prices went up and the menu shrank. Upon arrival the waiting team seemed confused asking us to order again, forgetting to take drinks orders for all the table and the up-selling strategy from the sommelier was awkwardly unsubtle. The art on display was also a little scattergun and confusing to the eye. It was a shame as the restaurant clearly has potential. It felt a long way from reaching this potential on this occasion.

A really disappointing experience. Left waiting a while for our table without being offered a menu, water, a drink. Then given a table only to be asked to move to a different table almost immediately. Waited a further 30mins before placing an order, had to ask 2 times for this to happen. Ordered a fillet steak, was delivered a flat iron. So ravenously hungry at that point I just ate it but the butter it was served with was really foul tasting and the meat itself was really tough. Not a pleasant thing to eat. Although it was perfectly medium rare as requested. Disappointing lack of choice on the menu - if you're going to pretty much only serve steak at least get the order right and cook it well. Star of the show was the artichoke starter, shame there aren't more vegetables elsewhere on the menu. Overall would not recommend.

La hamburguesa aplastada y las papas fritas tenían demasiada sal, y estaban demasiado húmedas y se desmoronaron cuando se levantaron del plato.

Such a disappointment, to preface this I will say we had reservations for the bar and not the main restaurant so experiences may differ in that setting. However the time we spent was bizarre and very unpleasant experience on every level. Started by waiting by the entrance for 5 minutes where 3 different members of staff looked directly at us (none of which looked particularly busy), none of which came to talk to us. Once we were eventually spoken to we were told to pick a table wherever, which is fine but we were genuinely taken aback by how deeply unfriendly our waiter was, I can understand that it’s not a easy job but they genuinely looked pained to be there, absolutely 0 pleasantries or effort made throughout the entire time we were there. We ordered our food, one burger, one side of fried and one fish burger and two cocktails. Let me say that the burger WITHOUT fries was £17 and nothing special ate half and left the rest as it was that horrid. My food came out out first (before cocktails) waited another 5 then cocktails arrived then another 10 then my boyfriends food finally arrived with no explanation or apology by our aforementioned utterly miserable waiter. Cocktails at a £15 each were reminiscent of something straight from a Wetherspoons. Aside from that it seemed like they had heart radio or something equally awful playing in the background. Shame as the bar area separate from the main restaurant seemed like a nice date spot with good ambiance. Couldn’t be further from the truth, save your money, time and Friday night and go literally anywhere else lol

I had no idea this was a Michelin rated restaurant and have not been able to verify it on the Michelin website. I went because the photos looked delicious, but I suspect these were from the restaurant. Scrolling through you will find actual representations, drops of sauce and all. I would concur with some of the 1 star Google reviews that the food is not up to par. I got the impression that no discussion about the food had ever occurred amongst the kitchen team--whether a dish actually works. And does anyone bother to taste anything? I won't go into specifics about what I ordered but what happened service wise sums up my experience. I ordered two entrees (appetizers) for my meal and both were served at the same time. Mary's has a front-back system where one person takes the order and another delivers it. Perhaps I should have clarified that I wanted one, then the second. Or I should been asked, or isn't it obvious? Why would anyone want to eat two dishes at the same time? It's not a family style restaurant. I would actually give the service a lower rating but the front waitress was pleasant and offered some insight into the operations, which under normal circumstances would be highly inappropriate. I was disappointed but OK with it all. Life's not perfect, there are good and bad days. Bon appétit!

writing my first review to share an unpleasant, underwhelming culinary experience that was EXTREMELY disappointing and practically ruined a nice evening. came to this newly opened restaurant with extremely high expectations based on excellent reviews but at first sight the interiors aren’t very cohesive( subjective). The food was actually decent with a nice presentation :)) service was extremely slow, and we were recommended and almost ‘ forced’ to order bread ON TOP of more bread provided as part of our dishes and ended up wasting a lot. portions are fair and the flavor combination was very nice. waitress did NOT put in orders for fries on the side of our steak dish and it was a horrendous culinary experience for the main steak dish despite us asking multiple times for the fries to come. bill took A LONG time to come too and when we fed back our experiences to staff, they seemed very very nonchalant and did NOT care at the slightest about their service or our experience . a huge disappointment overall.

Stopped in for a burger at the bar. The staff were all friendly and helpful. However, the burger was exceedingly average at best; one of the, if not the poorest “fancy” burger I’ve had in London. A beautifully-plated double stacker, it seemed as if the chef had looked at many pictures of burgers but eaten very few of them. Sadly I didn’t even finish it which is a first in my years of burger eating escapades. Here are a few thoughts on how it could be improved, in no particular order: 1. Patties: Too thick for a smash burger and thus not properly smashed. You could easily remove 10g per patty to achieve a crispier texture and better meat to bun ratio. Bonus: higher profit margins. 2. Bun: While seemingly baked fresh it was far too dense and doughy. An airier bun will better compliment the rest of the ingredients. 3. Fried pickle: Pure form over function. Looks cool toothpicked on top but doesn’t taste of much and is apparently a substitute for any pickle on the burger aside from an insufficient amount in the burger sauce. Given the overall fat content of the meat there needs to be more acidity to cut through it. Non-fried pickles would do the trick. 4. Bacon: Not needed at all. Adds nothing but more grease and higher price point to the equation. 5. Napkins: The little diner-style napkins at the bar are kitschy but aren’t sufficient without using a small forest’s worth. A proper napkin would be better suited for the amount of grease dripping down one’s hand and the level of the establishment. 6. Hot Sauce: The Three Darlings hot sauce on the bar, while tasty, is not properly packaged. The sauce is watery, though the bottle does not have a Tabasco-style stopper on the top resulting in a Niagara Falls-level of liquid escaping onto the plate. Seems like an easy fix. On a cheerier note, the basque-style cheesecake being prepared in front of me at the bar looked tasty and I may one day return for it. Sadly, I will not give the burger another go until at least some of the aforementioned issues are addressed. UPDATE: Tom Parker Bowles' recent review claimed that the burger is "as fine as you’ll find anywhere". While I can't comment on his thoughts of the other food I can confidently say he either knows nothing of the humble burger or simply lied about trying it.

4 de nosotros fuimos a cenar, habitación encantadora, menú interesante y una carta de vinos muy completa. Después de pedir la comida, el camarero entregaba el vino a la mesa y solo portaba el vino y se alejaba, nunca se le daba la oportunidad de comprobar que el vino no estaba taponado. un titular apareció 10 minutos antes que el resto de los titulares. El agua embotellada que se pidió no apareció (pero se cobró por). Órdenes secundarias que no habían sido ordenadas fueron llevadas a la mesa. El servicio estándar era muy deficiente para un restaurante de este calibre. En el lado positivo el filete que tenía era de la más alta calidad. Me pregunto si la dirección se da cuenta de lo caótico y poco profesional que era el frente de servicio de la casa? y si no rectificado temo por este establecimientos futuros

Have visited Mary’s twice since it opened and plan to return very soon. Loved the decor and the menu was interesting. On our first visit, we had the tempura monkfish with warm tartare sauce and then shared the cote de boeuf, which was amazing. The desserts were incredible and they gave us another dessert because it was our anniversary! Of course, we had to return as soon as possible to try the smash burger. The burger bar is a great idea, less formal and we didn’t have to book. We both thought that this was the best burger we had ever tasted - so juicy and flavoursome, and the battered gherkin on top was a lovely touch. A great team at Mary’s, so friendly and welcoming, and all very talented. We will definitely be returning as soon as we can. Thank you!

We recently had lunch at Mary's and had an incredible lunch. The food was outstanding, and even though this is billed as a casual grill restaurant, they have incorporated fine dining elements into the menu. I can highly recommend Mary's. My favourites included the Duck croquettes in satay sauce, monkfish tempura, and the sirloin steak, which was perfectly cooked. Make sure you order the koffmann fries.

Not keen on the Bobby beans, would have preferred a side of greens or salad. The pint of wine idea feels a bit of a gimmick and slightly confusing as it gets poured into a carafe. Overall an excellent restaurant, we will definitely come back. Oh and the WCs smell amazing (really they do)

Sadly for the calibre of chefs working the night we dined, Atherton, Metzger etc the food was pretty ordinary, duck croquette was just a deep fried shredded confit, sauce just a basic warmsatay , the plaice was really bland no seasoning weak bisque froth, limited flavour , the tuna was really poor pappy and tasteless, agnolotti was by far the best dish , what really surprised me was the steak, chips and sauce, first of better steak at blacklock or flatiron, sauces average again, with bought in pre prepared koffman dry chips, desert doughnut was cold , so a pretty poor showing really

We visited Mary's last night and, all-in-all, we were left dissapointed. I know this is a new restaurant and it takes a while to bed-in new staff but, the table service was disastrous. I have never in my life been asked if I had ordered drinks by quite so many ill informed people (5). In the end, the cocktail that finally arrived was plainly wrong. An issue that was then excacerbated by the waiting staff (a) not knowing what it should look like (clear and red ingredients don't result in a yellow drink!), and (b) 'solving' the problem by just adding more mezcal to the glass. After all of this palaver we decided to just grab a burger at the counter and leave - this was the best decision of the night. The burger and fries were excellent, as was the brioche doughnut and crème anglaise that followed. The highlight though was chef at the counter who was friendly, engaging, and very passionate about the food she was creating. She's a keeper!

Really wanted to like the reincarnation of Pollen Street Social but Mary’s is a square peg in a round pollen street hole. This google page seems to have been renamed so all reviews before 15th Aug 2024 are for Pollen Street Social not Mary’s. Talked about as making food more accessible the prices are still very high and many of the menu choices (the cheaper ones) online weren’t available on the day. My teens had come for the burger (big image on the website) but were told they couldn’t have that in the dining room…they ordered next choice (three times the price) only to see people on other tables have the burger. Everything sides, sauces…all extra. Too many staff hovering not sure how to make eye contact and not much atmosphere because the sound/acoustics mean you can’t actually hear the person next to you. Cocktails were great! Shame that there was no acknowledging my name was also Mary - felt like an easy win. Anyway we loved pollen street social when we came over 10 years ago. We will try to remember that.

Wonderful new Jason Atherton restaurant with a menu that manages to combine informal dining (we had a sharing cut of exceptionally good steak) with some elegant flourishes in the starter and dessert menus. The duck croquette in satay sauce was a standout starter and a stunning barbecued pineapple/coconut/lime dessert was a lovely, light way to finish off our meal. Friendly advice from the sommelier also added to this being more than just a fantastic new steak restaurant. There’s a burger bar for walk ins and a gorgeously atmospheric bar alongside the restaurant. We will be back!

Visited for the Chef’s Table Experience for my birthday. I thought it was a solid and tasty menu but uninspiring, and the service lacked finesse. The standout was their “Tea & Cake” . The flavours were rich and scrumptious, setting high expectations. Another interesting element was the Ajo Blanco (“white gazpacho”) ice cream in the crab dish. The quality of the locally sourced ingredients was excellent, but I hoped for more memorable dishes. The service, although lovely, lacked the finesse expected at this price point. While the birthday card was a nice touch, adding a candle to one of the four desserts would have made it more special. Let's be honest, many restaurants at this calibre do this without requests. They gave us wrong cutlery for one of the courses. It was a bit embarrassing for them when we found the chocolate bonbons missing from a dessert box, and the staff had to quickly rectify it. Flavours were mostly classics, didn't get any wow factors. At £190pp, it was rather underwhelming. Perhaps their new projects would bring more excitement and thrill.

The manager and waitstaff all engaged with us and made us feel like we were old friends. The desert was a combination of sweet and savory with elements of coffee, chocolate, and almond flavors that words cannot describe.

Our last visit to our favourite restaurant. Food was as superb as always. Wonderful friendly service and attention from Giacomo and Roxy in particular. Thank you to Jason and all the team for treating us so well over the last 14 years. We have had many of our best restaurant experiences at Pollen Street so it is sad that this is ending. However we look forward to seeing you at your new restaurants. Phil and Andrea

Hadn’t been here for years but when we found out they were closing, decided to go for one last lunch. A few minor errors in service which I wouldn’t have expected at a restaurant of this level- such as serving our wine before our welcome cocktails. Also, a bit weird to give us the wine list without the food menus- how do you pick a wine if you don’t know what you’re eating it with?! However, the food was all delicious and lunch menu was very good value. I can’t say the same for drinks, which were hugely expensive. Overall my fave Atherton remains the slightly more casual Social Eating House

Wonderful food - wonderful service & location. The only slight criticism is the noise in the eating area needs damping - it is hard to have conversation in this popular place.

Food was good but not extraordinary. Although it was a Friday night it was quiet so staff were a bit too attentive. However the description of the courses in the tasting menu were hard to hear or rushed. The wine menu is unnecessarily expensive. So off putting which is a shame. Favourite dishes were the Tea & Cake and also the crab. One of the desserts was lemon meringue but sadly overpowering. Although the food was good value the atmosphere lets it down a bit so I don’t think we’ll be back again.

The restaurant was extremely loud and the service was not consistent. The food was quite good but I didn’t feel the restaurant deserves a Michelin star. It wasn’t worth it. I wouldn’t return.

We had the most glorious evening here. The service is outstanding and the food delicious. All dietary requests were catered for with no fuss at all. This is really one of (if not the) best restaurants in London.

I had the 3 course lunch at the Pollen street social. I added 20£ for the Raviolo starter - you could taste the rich ingridients, but there was no extraordinary souce to tie them all together and elevate the dish. For the main I had the fish - I didn't care for the sauce, but it may be a matter of personal preferance. Unfortunately it was also undercooked in the middle. I have to say the dessert was one of the best I ever tasted. The service was good, but it took almost 2 hours for a 3 course lunch, which is a bit much in my opinion. All in all a positive experience, but not remarkable.

As Thursday is the new Friday, we venture to Jason Atherton restaurant that he opened in 2011 and was award his star 6 months later. We agree with many that the food, service and overall experience lived up to our expectations. We opted for the tasting menu with the standard paring. The only negative about the food was that for us both deserts tasted too similar and more like pre deserts. Overall the staff were as you expect from a one star with the only fault was the lack of explanation of each dish. It was either rushed or simply not given. Our sommelier was good but again lacked full explanation of why it was paired with the dish.

I do love a good Michelin tasting menu with wine paring. This is one of the best. Great environment. Friendly staff. Awesome food (including a vegetarian guest). Wines complemented food. Just a fantastic dining experience. Thank you.

We had the pleasure of dining here on our last night in London and it was the highlight of the trip. The food was delicious, the wine pairings were inspired, and the service was impeccable. Everyone and everything was wonderful and we will absolutely visit again on our next trip.

We went for lunch and had the fixed price menu. Everything was absolutely delicious. The reason I haven’t given 5 stars is because the service is a bit slow. We were given a drinks menu when we arrived and then waited 15 mins to order. We then had to ask for the lunch menu when they brought the drinks.

I booked and consumed an "Afternoon Tea" on site, at a cost of 90 pounds (unjustified). I only learned the cost when I reached the table where I had to choose between the 3 alternatives proposed. Welcome cocktail, sandwiches of various flavors, various desserts and obviously tea. I was not satisfied because basically the quality and offer did not reflect the cost. Even though I pointed out to my partner that she didn't eat cheese or similar, the offer was not changed. I was expecting something more from the environment, it was a room in front of the entrance to a hotel.

Primera visita reservada por recomendación. Mesa de seis con cuatro de nosotros pensando que las chuletas de cordero deben estar buenas. El restaurante no está ocupado, pero aún así tomó 30 minutos para servir. Solo una sola chuleta y tan decepcionado! Duro y estricto y los cuatro de acuerdo. ¡Quedado todavía sintiendo hambre y muy decepcionado y encima a un precio elevado! No vale la pena y no volvería!

one of the best afternoon tea in London. located in the lobby bar of the COMO hotel Halkin, the high tea offers unique Indonesian flavor high tea. The Shambhala high tea is only ₤55 per person before 20% VAT and 12.5% service charge. we had the reservation, but the whole time there were only two other tables having drinks there. The space doesnt look very fancy. the table for four person is a bit tight for all the food needs to be on the table, there's barely space for the tea, which i think it needs improvement. the high tea start with a shambhala ceremony that the COMO signature shambhala oil infused water pour on a hot stone on the table. the steam rises to give us the the aroma to bring us to the scent of tropical. you then pick the tea you want, each person will have a whole pot to themselves. The first plate comes out is the savory portion of the high tea, there are salad, soup, chicken wings and shrimp tempora, this is perfect for people who loves savory over sweets. once you finished the savory part the sweet part follows with strawberry chocolate cube, coconut that's marshmallow in the white part and chocolate shell , passion fruit pastry that looks like passion fruit but completely blow your mind, cucumber sorbet and banana waffle. everything is very unique and elevated instead of the normal high tea pastries. the sweet pastries are not too sweet which is perfect. The whole high tea is enough food to skip dinner. Great experience and full of unique tastes.
