We highly recommend this restaurant - we went there for dinner and had 3 courses. The food was technically really excellent, we particularly enjoyed these two mains: monkfish and ham special with madeira sauce. The service was great and we felt very well looked after (thanks Salvatore, Federico, Nino and Sofia!). Good flow between the courses, without lots of waiting around. Very nice ambience too. Looking forward to returning!

The food was nice, but the plating looks where nothing like the pictures on the site, the service was way to eager. Every 5 minutes there was someone to ask us anything, within 2 hours we were out and about. We where looking for a Romantic evening, but felt rushed

This was our second time here. We went there before New year the food was excellent so we decided to go there to celebrate our anniversary. The service was exceptional, especially Sofia and Federico. Starters and Desserts were delicious but the main was a bit salty for Gammon Ham. However everything is excellent and we will be back again.

I first came when it was Park Place by William Drabble. That was the best French food I had ever had and I’ve dined at a lot of restaurants including La Gavroche Marcus, Joel Robuchon. Unfortunately Francatelli and the new menu is not for me. It doesn’t show off the chef’s amazing talent which is disappointing. Nothing wrong with the food but nothing memorable either. It will be for a different clientele. If Park Place comes back will be back in an instant.

We had a really enjoyable lunch. We chose from the a la carte menu as we didn’t find enough on the set lunch menu to excite us. We all enjoyed our meals; the steaks were really tasty and tender, the fish and it sauces terrific and the parmentier potatoes delicious. So much so that we asked for and were given the recipe. It was a very quiet restaurant, but the service was courteous, knowledgeable and most friendly. A wonderful experience.

While it was a nice meal with good service we were underwhelmed compared to the price and reputation. The ribeye had to be sent back as it was not cooked properly (on top of that it was very uninspiring to have a piece of meat blandly sitting on an unmemorable plate with a small jug of really not very nice sauce). The cottage pie was delicious. Otherwise, if we were staying at the hotel we would have been really happy with the in house restaurant - but I wouldn’t recommend travelling to it

Food was outstanding, had mostly seafood dishes (turbot, scallops, sole and seabass), everything was cooked to perfection. Atmosphere was very subdued, service lacked the typical razzmatazz you get in other Michelin starred restaurants. Overall very good value for the quality of food.

Expected it to be busier , staff were attentive but unable to deliver - wine flight with gourmand menu was unavailable and cocktails in the bar were apparently a new menu - menu a bit samey… good quality but uninteresting..

Only a couple of things I would criticise, firstly we got off to a bit of a bad start waiting for drinks and then one of the said drinks appeared to be forgotten. When this was brought up the waitress became a little defensive, which I didn't think was appropriate. The only other thing was the Christmas Menu could only be had if everyone at the table wanted it. I find this a bit strange, surely if there are two couples dining and one couple wanted to have it, then they should be able to do so ? If it was a party of two they could order it, so why couldn't one couple in a party of four? Apart from that the food was excellent, as well as the surroundings and atmosphere. I would recommend it.

Other than the Yule Log dessert all our food was delicious. The new (temporary??) sommelier did not know that St Julien is part of Bordeaux & tried to substitute a white Burgundy. The wine department really needs attention. The Maître D saved the evening but it would have been appreciated if someone had asked why neither lady guest had more than one mouthful of “the log” Loin of venison exceptional.

In most places the meal we had would be described as pleasant and satisfying, but those with a memory of how things were can only look on it with disappointment. The dishes now are made for comfort rather than excitement. A crab bisque kept to crab and cream brings satisfaction but no gastronomic adventure. The cod and muscles was simple (though I prefer avoidance of the vacuum bath) but without innovation.

We came toSeven Park Place as part of London restaurant festival, and American express platinum. We had two starters here - one was salmon marinaded in molasses and brandy, and the other was a crab ravioli with a ginger and chilli broth. Both are delicious and a phenomenal in the presentation. Would highly recommend for business meetings, romantic lunches, and dinners out and family events are. The atmosphere and Service are impeccable.

We had lunch midweek and the restaurant was very quiet therefore there was little atmosphere. I had the set lunch and my wife selected from the a la carte menu. The food was good, but not spectacular and the service was efficient, except that a side dish was forgotten, although to be fair to the waiter, this was removed from the bill without being asked.

The question was how did this restaurant manage to get a Michelin star? Frankly, the only thing which was good and tasty was my gnocchi in their limited menu! I then had smallest piece of unimaginative sea bass with only a few small peeled tomatoes! My partner had a dry pork parcel and a tough and dry ribeye steak for main. And our deserts nothing to write home about! The bill came more than £200 without alcohol! Very surprised with the whole experience. Will not go back again.

There is an exceptionally well priced set lunch with optional drinks package which seemed superb value for money so definately worth a try too.

The restaurant is rather small but it didn’t lack atmosphere. The service wasn’t the best unfortunately. When we turned up we were only offered the food menu and had to ask for the drinks and wine line list. This led to us being presented with cocktails with our first course of food - which for us, wasn’t a good combination. The Gourmand menu was nice, simple food but we felt as though it could have been improved with a few more dishes. Each course didn’t disappoint. The courses come out very quickly so we had to ask to slow them down half way through to avoid finishing the 6 courses in an hour or so. That said, the food was superb and didn’t disappoint.

It is a privilege to be able to eat in this beautiful comfortable restaurant. We have been coming here for about ten years to celebrate special moments and have brought friends along too. I would rather have one meal here than three elsewhere - it's correctly priced for the wonderful food and all the other advantages it offers and we have paid more elsewhere for inferior meals.... it isn't cheap but it is excellent value. William Drabble is a wonderful chef, and the service is impeccable. I would go so far as to say that our lunch was one of the best meals I've ever eaten, and as I come fromt a catering background, I know what I'm talking about. We had the tasting menu and it was so accomplished, the ingredients were exquisite and beautifully and creatively prepared. This is fine dining at its best, real food, consistently excellent. We can't wait to return in the autumn.

I had not been back to Seven Park Place since the pandemic but a friend suggested we went there for lunch and I shall certainly be back again as soon as possible. The three course offer with champagne, wine and coffee and petit fours is perfection at a perfect price. Before the three courses chose from the menu, a duck jelly, cheeder 'cigar' and a bowl of homemade black pudding and a egg yolk were served first. The latter was divine and each of the three course were excellent not only in taste but particularly in the presentation. My salmon with beetroot salad was a work of art on the plate as was the dessert of poached peach with lemon sorbet and meringue sticks and various other elements. The red mullet main course had a sauce of liquid sunshine with multiple colours on the plate and the palate. A superb dish for a hot summer's day. The petit fours however showed what is really special about the cuisine here - things are presented with little extras that would not be missed but becauset they are there you know the chef is a perfectionist and food is thier art. The cherry in a chocolate cup for example had a little edible stalk made of chocolate. That was superfluous in one sense - it would have tasted just a delicious without - but the fact that is was there made it perfect. The same could be said of the gold leaf in the centre of another one of the petit fours. The service was also amazing. Within a minute of my ordering sparkling water it had arrived at the table and was constantly topped up throughout the meal without asking. Frederico our waiter was excellent and had just the right balance between both efficiency and charm and even predicted that we would like some more bread to wipe up the remaing fish sauce on the plate. Sergio (or Serge? apologies if I got the name wrongly) the sommelier also selected a superb French white to go with the fish. Finally Frederico gave us both a packet of coconut marshmallows to take home and I only realised when I got to the tube station that I took his pen which he proferred for me to sign the bill. I shall return and return the pen to him!

A small but nicely appointed space adjacent to the bar and lounge, the restaurant is intimate and romantic. We had the 9 course chef's course with the wine tasting course as well. The food was beautifully presented and quite tasty. Each wine pairing was explained by the sommelier and every one was spot on as a course accompaniment. Service, while excellent, seemed a bit rushed. We could have used more time between courses, mostly to process the wine and discuss the meal. In total, on a Tuesday evening, there were a total of 8 people, including us. Seems a shame for such a nice experience.

The service is impeccable in this small hotel restaurant in Mayfair. The staff are very knowledgeable and combine friendliness with an appropriate formality. The dining room itself is traditional, with white linen, quiet and cozy on a winter's evening, and it's easy to enjoy conversation. The food more than lives up to the restaurant's Michelin rosette. The quail starter and the Rhug lamb main course (both specialities of Mr Drabble) were excellent. The wine list is comprehensive, but there is little choice below three figures. In summary, a most enjoyable evening before the Christmas rush.

Generally pretty good, classic French food, nice flavours and good combinations. Nice, quiet and cosy atmosphere, decor quite good. Good Bellini. But the dishes could have varied more in richness, all dishes were quite rich so it felt rather heavy towards the end. Could have rectified this by e.g serving scallops raw as a carpaccio or something and the chocolate and citrus dessert being served as a mousse, not a ganache. Canapés and amuse bouche could be improved largely - lacked flavour and creativity. But on the whole, a very good experience and wouldn’t mind coming back.

The service was very good, very friendly, smiley, and fast respond. I love them. Regarding the food, I do not give very good evaluation because of the desserts. It does not match the standard of a Michelin-starred restaurant. The Pineapple was too sweet. The chocolate biscuit is very dry and non-smooth. Some bites, you could even feel the sugar crystal. All in all, the starters and the main courses were very good. If try out, I would recommend the a la carte menu instead of the gourmand. Only the dessert are the extra courses and it does not worth the extra course.

Innanzitutto il servizio, davvero molto bravi e disponibili, attenti alle necessità del Cliente, abbiamo chiesto di cambiare il tavolo assegnato...

The food was beautifully presented and delicious. The serving staff were attentive without being intrusive. The ambience was calm and pleasant.

Very uncomfortable - effectively sitting back to back with another person behind me. I requested to sit somewhere else and they said it was the best sitting area in the restaurant but actually by the front door which was opening and closing regularly for the duration we were sat there. The drinks were overpriced even for London central.Overall the food was delicious and the menu was different and original but the dining experience was a real let down. They’re cramming too many people into a small space to maximise revenue but at the expense of the dining experience for the customer.

Esto no fue tan bueno como debería haber sido. El personal era lento, todo era un poco estrecho, se sentaba demasiado cerca de otras mesas, así que en general se siente demasiado caro para la experiencia que se obtiene. Dicho esto, no está mal, así que vale la pena una visita si puedes conseguir una mesa con espacio.

I loved every min of my time spend in this restaurant. From the moment arrived the door was opened by a friendly member of staff. The staff were so very friendly accommodating and just down right nice people. Our waitress on the night was Emma aka Janell Monae (if you knw, you knw) :) the Food was excellent an amazing value for money, the location TOP Tier, I felt I wasn't in London anymore. If you like French food and an amazing vibe this has got to be the spot. So coming back here. Thank you L 'Artiste for an amazing evening - from the Time life Crew.

Certainly the worst Paul bakery in London. The service is consistently poor, with unfriendly staff members, particularly the lady who appears to be the manager, who is consistently unpleasant and rude to customers. The pain au chocolat aux amandes I purchased this morning for breakfast was extremely dry and clearly not freshly baked. Thankfully, there are many other excellent options for coffee and pastries nearby. I won't be returning here again!
