The Beef Wellington is superb—perfectly cooked with tender beef wrapped in a flaky pastry that’s full of flavor. The staff are friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes the dining experience truly enjoyable. Overall, a great spot for a delicious and memorable meal.

This restaurant is hands down the best restaurant in all of London, their food is mouthwatering and their service is spectacular. 2nd to none, I was looked after by a guy named Giles and he was the best. Diana was amazing too and I will be back again soon 🙏

Finally got the chance to try Gordan's famous beef wellington and let me just say it did not disappoint. We also tried the deviled crab starter which was amazing. Ill be dreaming about our meal for the foreseeable future.

It is only not 5* because it was more expensive than a 1* Michelin restaurant I did the same day and £25 for a starter you know.. it was creative but £90 for the 3 courses not quite worth that much. Curry was one of the best I've had though

We where visiting from Norway and my friend wanted to try the Biff Wellington. Beeing a big fan of Gordon Ramsay and a chef herself we decided to choose this restaurant due to long opening hours of the kitchen. We had high hopes for the food, this beeing a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, but not all of the food was up to our expectations and the price. We started with some olives which where delicious and some sourdough baguette with butter. The 4 slices of the baguette that where priced at 6£ or maybe even more, where dry and tasted old. I had some oysters as a starter and there where amazingly good. For main course my friend ordered the Biff Wellington which was amazingly good with a slightly too salty sauce, but lucky it balanced out well with the rest of the food. I had high expectations for the dry aged rib eye steak but it was extremely salty, although well cooked inside. Beeing hungry and trying to not be a Karen, I decided to eat the food and not make a big scene out of it. So if you are planning to eat her, ask if the bread is fresh and ask the chief to take it easy with the salt. If I decide to come back one day, it will definitely be for the oysters and to order my own Biff Wellington since it was really good and definitely worth trying. Paulina Hofset

Loved the decor. Very good and interesting selection of wines by the glass. Cocktails a little overpriced. Fish & Chips was ok, but not special. Beef Wellington was too expensive to try. Better to go to the Savoy Grill next to the hotel entrance.

My brother and I had a pleasant lunch at this charming restaurant. The waitress who served us, Klara, was very professional and attentive to our needs, the risotto with mushrooms and truffles was simply delicious and the dessert of tete de moine and honey was also exquisite. Ultimately a more than recommended restaurant!

This is nothing like the old riverside restaurant with its classic style and starched table cloths and waiters in starched white jackets. It's a more contemporary style like the ivy but twice the price. Very attentive staff good but somethings can get lost in language food quality excellent but the bill mounts up because everything is extra and of course service charge on top. Two baskets of bread over 12 quid so that gives you an idea what to expect - we didn't need the second basket but it was offered when obviously not required and in the moment foolishly accepted. Wine list eyewatering and sitting at our over varnished naff pine table looking at naff (fake?) IKEA style pot plants crammed in abundance of alcove I'm wondering how they get away with it. No table cloths marks and Spencer style China and cutlery not even a proper espresso cup so my coffee arrived nestled in the bottom of a cold Tea cup. This isn't the destination venue that used to be the Riverside this is more Harry Ramsden than Gordon Ramsey and clearly catering for the internal trade from the high net worth customers staying in the hotel. We enjoyed our lunch we weren't surprised by the 600 quid bill but as lunch/diners we will be heading for the Ritz or Claridges next time where the art of refinement hasn't been jetisonened in the interests of maximising return on floor. Wouldn't recommend it but if your staying in the hotel the food tastes great but don't expect more than bistro style menu

I went for a business dinner with 12 other guests in a private room at the back of the restaurant. The room was a bland kind of “hotel conference room” style and very hot. For the whole meal, there’s was just one person serving us, which was not enough. The poor guy worked hard but he couldn’t take orders, serve food, clear plates, serve wine and water for such a big party on his own. I spent most the meal with an empty wine glass. I ordered a steak- medium rare. When he brought it he said “rare steak”. I said “no I ordered medium rare”. He said “oh yes it’s medium rare”. It was practically raw. He then disappeared for so long after 10 mins, I had to get up to find a waiter in the main restaurant to take it back to be cooked properly. I was expecting a much better meal than we got. I don’t know what they were charging but I expect it was fairly expensive and the whole experience - the room, the food, the service and the atmosphere - was not at the level you would expect in London. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone and felt bad for the company that hosted us - this was not the experience they would have expected at the Savoy.

My partner and I were visiting London for our honeymoon and on our last day, we decided to go to River Restaurant for our final night and get a good dinner to celebrate the trip and being married for a week! The food was great but the service was horrible. We were sat in a corner table that was very close to another and got our server and they said they would be right back to give us some time to look at food menu. About 20 mins later we are met with a different server who does not explain the situation, nor introduces themselves, but merely says “So ready for food?” My partner and I ordered starters and they asked for mains, which seemed a bit rushed but we picked what looked good and went with it as well as two glasses of wine. We would not get the glasses of wine until our mains when I reminded our server and received no apologies and someone else brought our wine also with no apology. You may ask why didn’t I ask earlier for the forgotten wine? Well, our server didn’t check on us and when he was checking on the other tables (as were sommeliers and managers) they seemed to just ignore our gaze and move on with the others issues. We felt completely ignored and as if we did something wrong. Food was good and when we were out of water, our server offered to bring us more and almost 20 minutes went by of nothing. Finally a manager came over after all of our food was gone and I asked for some water and they brought some. Was also given dirty silverware but luckily had a spoon and just used that. We were very disappointed and it very much just left a stain on the end of trip as we felt we were treated very differently from the people sitting next to us who were getting multiple courses, bottles of wine, and then some. As if we weren’t as important because we weren’t spending as much money. A truly horrible feeling leaving the restaurant. When we come back to London, we will not be revisiting and our friends who live in London will know as well about our experience.

For us, the evening at The River Restaurant was very disappointing. My wife and I both ordered the Beef Wellington, and the doneness was not achieved as requested, it was not medium as ordered, which was already disappointing enough. However, at least as frustrating was that the plates were not pre-warmed and were actually cold. As a result, we had cold meat on our plates while eating. When we asked the waitress why the plates weren't pre-warmed, she seemed visibly overwhelmed by the question but said she would ask in the kitchen. When it came time for dessert, she said nothing about the meat. When nothing was mentioned until the bill was presented, we asked again, but the waitress didn’t provide a real answer. A disappointing evening.

We have wanted to go to the Savoy for a very long time. We booked, On arrival things looked opulent and as we imagined. As we were directed to The River Restaurant I could feel my excitement drop. We were a little early so asked to sit at the bar for a cocktail much to our disappointment the bar had no drinks being served at the bar it was empty so we just sat there waiting for our drinks to be ready from I assume the kitchen! So no barman making the drinks in front of you to get the experience Seemed a bit bland.. then trays of food being put on the bar next to us to go to the tables which also spoilt the experience & the drinks were expensive so that was a let down! then we were seated at the back. Felt too close, not well thought out. I wanted a view, I wanted to see the magic happen in the restaurant. I could have been anywhere, I was really underwhelmed and disappointed. The food was ok but very sparse we had the roast beef which was chewy & just as well we ordered extra sides or we would of been hungry, the dessert was ok but not a restaurant we would go back to.

The choices on the menu were disappointing. Both the set menu and the al a carte were very fish orientated, so if you are not a fan your options were limited. I enjoyed what I ordered. The staff were excellent and helpful. The wine was superb. There was no view of the river which was a shame.

The food we had was excellent. On the smaller portion side but tasted great. The service and the server's attitude could be better for a place like this. The table lamp had collected a lot of dust and could use some cleaning. I booked the a la carte menu & glass of fizz option from OpenTable for 8:30 pm on a Sunday. I wasn't offered the bubbly. They never mentioned it and I was too tired to do so. I just ordered from the menu. But next time, remind your hostess and servers to follow up on this and if you don't really want to offer it then don't have this complimentry offer on OpenTable.

I have wanted to go to the Savoy for a very long time. I booked, I anticipated, and I went. On arrival things looked opulent and as I'd imagined. As we were directed to The River Restsursnt I could feel my excitement drop. Seemed a bit bland.. then we were seated at the back. I was positioned behind a column and couldn't see anything but watch a Chinese man opposite me eat his fish and chips. My friend was seated facing the lady at the next table. Felt too close, not well thought out. I wanted a view, I wanted to see the magic happen in the restaurant. I could have been anywhere, I was really underwhelmed and disappointed. The food however was another story. I went for the mackerel to start, with gooseberries, bit sharp for my taste but the mackerel was amazing. I followed with the mushroom risotto with truffle. Strong flavour, delicious, and then...sticky toffee pudding to die for. It was an experience, but overall I just felt a bit deflated.. I like to see things happen, watch the people, watch the staff, its all part of dining out.. I was stuck at the back with no view. Tables too close together. Staff friendly, but a bit stoic.. lighten up a little, the (french) man who took our payment was a delight, friendly, jovial, a delight. But was hoping for better.

I booked a visit to Gordon Ramsey’s River Restaurant through Virgin Experience Days and I would throughly recommend both Virgin Experience Days and The River Restaurant. We had a promoter of the restaurant come over and speak to us about Gordon Ramsey which was so nice to hear about and the history of the restaurants, as it is my goal to visit all of his restaurants in London. It is fairly pricey, however food is quality and some really good dishes here which are certainly worth trying. I would most definitely visit again.

Engagement with the guests around us was first class. It really helped the atmosphere. Attentive and friendly, providing help with the menu. It elevated the lunchtime meal. So thank you! The cocktails were fantastic, along with the food. I had the scallops and fish pie which was jam packed full of fish. The Crispy egg added to the dish perfectly. I expect we shall return and also recommend to various friends too.

We received the experience of lunch at The Riverside as a gift from our son for Christmas & my partner’s 80th birthday. From the minute that we arrived at The Savoy we were greeted by very cheerful and helpful staff. Although not the usual type of establishment we are used to we were overwhelmed by the incredible atmosphere and beauty of the interior. Our table was booked for 12.00 and as we were there slightly early we were told that we could sit wherever we felt comfortable, how could you choose from the delightful seating areas. We went to our table at 12.00. The waiters were charming and we chose our food at our leisure. Although as we had a voucher there was a set menu to choose from we could also choose from the a la carte menu if we wished. My partner stayed with the set menu having to pay an extra £30 for the beef Wellington, but I chose the monkfish curry and the floating island dessert - absolutely gorgeous. The sea bass starter was very different, an acquired taste I think. We had to pay quite a lot more than the value of the voucher but it was certainly worth the experience.

Very nice place, we had super attentive staff. It did felt like they a bit short staffed for the busy hours on Sunday. We went there for Sunday roast and it was very very nice meal. Was a bit confusing that we had few different people asking us if we need anything else, and when we asked for horseradish from one person it basically never arrived to our table. But it’s just little remark I would say. Got nice little treat for my birthday as well which was a nice cherry in the cake for me :)

We were here on May 9th at 19:00 o’clock and had the worst experience ever. We ordered appetisers, drinks, main dish and wine for the main dish. They brought our main dish literally 3 minutes after bringing our appetisers. I ordered red wine to drink with my main dish and obviously, I had to cancel it. I have never seen such a terrible service in my life. The goal was to free the tables as soon as possible. We left our appetisers on the table, ate the main dish and left. Our evening was ruined. We raised our concern to two different waiters who did absolutely nothing. Never again. Spent 300 pounds to ruin our night.

I love Gordon Ramsey but never ate his food. While on vacation in London my wife and I went to his River Restaurant at The Savoy. I am a cook and I couldn't wait. The restaurant is beautiful, the staff was perfect, but the food. Oy vay! I ordered Beef Wellington. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 7.5. I expected a 10. My wife ordered the fish pie. It was inedible. She complained and the restaurant did not charge us. The appetizer was baked scallops, mine tasted better. And the dessert was his specialty and it was ordinary.

I had a group business dinner here recently. The atmosphere is fantastic. The waitress was very good. The food was overpriced, took awhile to serve and really not very good/tasty. It was a set menu with some really odd starters. The only main that appealed was the rib eye which I asked for it be medium rare. I should have known better as it was almost well done inside and extremely fatty/grisly. The creamed spinach was barely warm but the taste was good. Dessert was ok but more about style than substance Overall, I can't recommend the place and certainly wouldn't for the prices as the quality just isn't there in my opinion.

We had a wonderful experience with our waiter Milan who made a fuss of my daughter as it's been her dream to go to one of Gordans restaurant in London,.Milan our waiter went above and beyond but unfortunately when his shift ended no one took over and we were practically ignored for over 45 minutes. I still paid the tip as I did not want Milan to miss out. No one asked how was anything, did not fill our glasses and had to chase the bill. I felt like the scene in pretty woman as if we should not be there!, I messaged the river restaurant through private messenger as 181.00 later it's was disappointing and thought they should know but obviously just one person disappointed is not a big deal for them I guess. The food was very nice and thank you Milan for making a fuss of us while you were on duty you were fantastic and my daughter thought you were the best it was a pleasure to meet you!

We had a very disappointing lunch at the river restaurant. Our waitress asked if we had any allergies when taking our order. My husband is dairy intolerant so with ordering the risotto we asked if this contained dairy. She confirmed yes but a vegan version could be ordered. So we ordered one vegan mushroom risotto and one standard risotto. When the food arrived the server did not mention that one was vegan but we assumed that all was well. Sadly the risotto was barely cooked and we returned it as inedible. When we asked which one was vegan and was this the reason for the poorly cooked rice the manager said he wasn't sure and then later stated both were vegan as the mushroom risotto never contained dairy. They were kind enough to not charge us for the poorly cooked food we still paid a pricely sum for our disappointment. I was shocked that so little care was taken over allergies and expected better from a exclusive restaurant. This was a special meal for us to celebrate an anniversary. The whole experience was a disappointment.

Clifford had great suggestions on the menu and was patient when we couldn't make up our mind on which dessert. This was our last dinner in London and we couldn't have been happier with the evening! We had the Monkfish and prawn curry with basmati rice (delicious!) and the fish pie (Great though a little too many peas for me) For dessert we had both Manjari Chocolate & Salted Caramel Delice, Espresso, Popcorn Ice Cream (Phenomenal- the saltiness from the popcorn and the bitterness of the espresso was an awesome combination!) & the Sticky Toffee Pudding, Fior Di Latte Ice Cream (this was an absolute delight and the winner of the the 2 desserts)

My god that beef wellington is to die for. I’ve always wanted to try gordon ramsay’s beef wellington, and if you haven’t tried it yet, I definitely recommend trying it here. Service and atmosphere was top notch as well, and I couldn’t have asked for better service. We ordered some other foods off the menu, but they didn’t come close to the wellington in my opinion.

A very underwhelming experience. It was my wife's 70th birthday celebration and I decided to throw the boat out. Being the Savoy I expected a really personal service and something really special. What we received can only be decribed as run of the mill. Many of the waiting staff were still in training, mix ups in drinks and food orders and to top it all, the 'special celebation treat' did not even arrive. Perhaps I should have booked a table in the Grill!

A nasty restaurant typical of Gordon Ramsay's overpriced food which frankly is no better than high street food. We love the Savoy but this place doesn't belong here. As a guest of the hotel Gordon Ramsay only gets away with selling food because people have the convenience. Very few people return, if any. Don't bother wasting lots of money on this place.

A truly phenomenal restaurant that I enjoyed with my visiting mother. The food was great, though it took a while for it to come to us. The dessert was especially good! Please do get the Toffee pudding dessert, it is delicious.

Went for lunch I had Beef Wellington to die for so so nice . Staff polite and always on hand but not in your face just great service One thing and this is in no way a criticism of the restaurant it’s just this is a prestige restaurant where excellence and quality are abounded but guests on occasion choose very inappropriate foot ware ie trainers I do not think this is acceptable

Food is excellent. Service is too slow, you have to wait ages even for drinks. I don’t like the atmosphere - full of tourists or food bloggers, you don’t have a feeling being in a 5 star hotel restaurant at all.

painfully overpriced. the staff are knowledgeable top professionals, the restaurant is well located and it has a good vibe. the food, however is a massive let down. i do recommend the salmon tartare starter, the burrata starter, the Dover sole, and the house Bordeaux. the Beef Wellington was overpowered by the truffle, the ribeye didn’t hold a candle to Goodman’s, and I had better desserts at Paul’s. the Arnold Bennet omelette looks more like a weird haddock quiche. will not visit again anytime soon.

My experience at The River Restaurant in London was overall positive. The ambiance and service were commendable, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. While the fish and chips were good, they fell slightly short of exceeding expectations. Nonetheless, the diverse menu and other culinary offerings showcased the restaurant's commitment to quality. A visit to The River Restaurant promises a delightful dining experience along the scenic backdrop of London.

Had a terrible experience dining at this overrated restaurant before Christmas. I was the only vegan at a table of 10. Sadly in this day and age they get out of their way to make sure vegans feel extremely unwelcomed in their establishmentS. On the menu was hummus and some more hummus. See hilarious photos for yourself.

Ordinary beef Wellington disappointing apart from the excellent meat the way overcooked dough compact mushroom duxelle really very disappointing to the point of charging for bread and olives when you take a bottle of shameful champagne

Unbelievable fish & chips!!! LONDON’S FINEST FISH AND CHIPS. Everything in my plate was on point: the fish (large, crunchy, and non-oily), the mashed peas (extremely tasty), the tartar sauce (amazing! Seriously, the chef should consider commercialise it), and the chips (crispy and nicely salted). A truffle option for the chips would be a fantastic addition to your menu!

My wife and I were looking for some Thai food and saw this on Google and were a bit apprehensive seeing that it was also a pub. Walking in we were immediately greeted by the guys behind the bar, even when they had a number of customers they were serving, and asked what drinks they can get for us. We were clearly confused on where the Thai restaurant was and the guy was very friendly and showed us the way to the stairs and we took our drinks upstairs. The restaurant had just the chef to cook and wait tables and he was very friendly and the food tasted great. A bit weird when you're not expecting that setup with the pub but once we were there we loved it. Again, super friendly bar and chef upstairs and we felt very welcomed and comfortable the entire time.
