Spring in City of London, Westminster

I have now been twice, once for dinner, once for lunch. The food, as others have noted, is superb and the philosophy behind the place seems to work. Relaxed, cultured but unstuffy, friendly, modern. The venue helps. The staff seemed unstressed. I like their approach to ingredients and reducing wastefulness, it seems to work for everyone and isn't just some gimmick they pay lip service to. Not a pricey as it could have been, I think their fixed standard menus are great value. Wine list is fair with a good selection and isn't the usual gouge pricing. I think I'll be going again if I can find an excuse to be in the area. That it was pretty full on a Tuesday lunchtime in November tells you something.

Words cannot describe how amazing the food was at Spring! Skye Gyngell’s philosophy of letting the produce shine and letting it speak for itself, showed in every dish. Yeah, there’s reviews talking about the service charge but that’s London dining for you, and it goes to the staff anyway. Lamb was recommended by my section waiter and it was amazing.. along with the yummy scallops! Will be back, thanks Spring team!

We had the scratch menu before going to a show nearby. Great flavors and presentation, and the low-waste element was quite interesting. Very reasonable price given the quality of food and service, we look forward to coming back again when we have more time to enjoy it!

*Creeping service charges a stain on an otherwise great meal* Had a lovely pre-theatre meal in the beautiful setting here. The 3 courses were tasty, especially considering the price at £30/head. We were happy to bump up the bill with some good wine. What leaves a bad taste however, is the creeping service charge increase. Whilst it's written at the bottom of the menu, the rate of 13.5% is conveniently left off the bill, merely described as 'Discretionary service charge', with no mention it's 13.5% as opposed to London norm at 10 or 12.5%. Really? Please, just pay your staff a decent wage and increase the meal price if necessary. Luckily the service was delightful (especially our Spanish waiter), so I didn't want to ruin an otherwise lovely evening. But I am left conflicted as to whether I would return. It's not about the 1%, it's about the way places are trying to push up the 'discretionary service'.

I superb meal everytime I visit, and one of the few restaurants I am comfortable to try combinations I would not normally sample. Great food , staff, location and atmosphere Not inexpensive but worth a visit for the scratch menu if the budget is tight.

The Scratch Menu takes unused fresh ingredients from the previous day that would otherwise be tossed out, and concocts delicious impromptu dishes from them. It is good to be reminded of the huge problem of food waste in such a tasty way. This menu is available briefly when the restaurant opens at 5.30 p.m., and takes about one hour to serve, which makes it ideal as a pre-theatre venue. The 3-course menu offers no choice, but I had no complaints about any part of it. These were not just hastily whipped-up oddities. My first course was a kind of Spanakopita, and that was followed by quail. The doors were locked when I arrived just before 5.30. But seeing my walking stick, the staff kindly let me in to sit down until they were ready to take me to my table.

Truly 5* food, everything was delicious. I took a star off service because they forgot to bring the bread I ordered.

Very enjoyable! I'll definitely be back!

Incredible food with exceptional presentation and service!

Quite nice and tasty restaurant to meet for lunch, if you need to meet near Waterloo

Excellent food as always but in what is a lovely restaurant but service on our visit not the greatest we've experienced but we enjoyed the chat (with relatives) will not stop us going again

Spring is one of my new favourite restaurants of all time. My husband and I visited for a finer dining date night and the ambience was like nothing I’ve experienced in another restaurant. The dining space is so beautiful & elegant, while the food is such high quality with surprising flavours that you’ll want to forever savour. If you’re in London & looking for a more high end dinner or lunch spot, you must book at Spring.

Great venue and we were excited to try. However, it was overshadowed by a ‘lack of joy and pleasure’. The staff although ample seemed scared to put a foot wrong or to smile, I guess the managers were going for the ‘over discreet service’, not staff’s fault but the direction they were told to follow. It made the culinary experience gloomy and although the food was good the bleak atmosphere prevailing from the staff tainted the whole experience. It would be a great restaurant to ‘break bad news’.

I had dinner here after a matinee theatre show. The staff were incredible - from the front of house to the serving and bar staff. The atmosphere is incredible! I cannot emphasise this enough - bright, spacious, airy, tastefully furnished and beautifully finished. Just incredible. The staff were attentive and polite without being overbearing. The food was delicious. I’m keen to return, it was a very pleasant dining experience.

A beautiful restaurant with stunning food. We went as a private wedding party and enjoyed a large side room with great service and lovely food.

Came in with a guide dog in training and restaurant was not very welcoming. Shame. Clearly the restaurant is not completely welcoming to all. Suggested that they contact Guide Dogs for the Blind, perhaps, to get some training about how to deal with similar situations in a better way in the future.

Went for the Scratch menu for £30 a head and we were impressed. The service was prompt and the concept of charging less for leftover food in a michelin restaurant setting allows stylish cooking to be enjoyed by a variety of people

hosted our wedding celebration dinner at Spring Restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. The service was impeccable, with staff attending to every detail, making the evening feel truly special. The setting was stunning, providing a beautiful backdrop that added to the overall ambiance of the night. The food was generally excellent, with a wide array of flavors that pleased everyone. The only minor drawback was the pea soup starter, which had a portion that was a bit too generous and didn’t quite hit the mark for us. However, everything else more than made up for it, and our guests were full of compliments. Overall, Spring Restaurant played a big part in making our night magical, and we would highly recommend it for any special occasion.

Amazing food. The mushroom in my seabass was incredible, and the tart was absolutely the best smooth dessert I have ever had - my friend confirmed the same. Only thing we were surprised was the meat plate - it was good, but not as exceptional as other food.

Lovely afternoon spent with Family within restaurant. Good restaurant with fine service. Atmosphere with private group was enjoyable. Set menu was good and wine decent.

What an incredible dining experience! Everything from the beautiful space, to the incredible service from kind and knowledgeable staff, to the insanely good food... Everything was a 10/10. We had all the pre-starters and loved the freshness of the heirloom cucumbers, and the butter for the bread was perfect consistency. We tried the Prawn Aguachile and the Crab Nduja with polenta, the crab in particular was so flavoursome and the texture was sublime, it was the best thing I've tasted in ages. We had the pork belly and lamb as mains. The bed of vegetables under the lamb was just as delicious as the meat itself. We tried the custard tart with peaches and bitter chocolate cake. The peach tarte is really something special and not too heavy or sweet. If you love excellent quality wines, their sommelier introduced us to some incredible orange wines and a beautiful burgundy. We even got a cute little boule of sorbet with a candle for our anniversary. This is such a good choice for a special occasion dinner, and we will definitely be back to try their scratch menu soon (uses ingredients to avoid food waste).

Very disappointing evening! The staff (apart from a lovely Italian girl) were both indifferent and indignant, and the meal (although generally good) was extremely rushed giving no sense of occasion. Consequently the room lacked atmosphere and was very clinical. Based on this experience and high price point we would not recommend the restaurant.

One of my favourite restaurants in London. Though the furniture is a bit dated (my chair could have done with a little spruce) it did not deter from the extraordinary food and wonderful service. The bonus is being located in one of the most beautiful buildings in London, Somerset House. The focus on vegetables being as important as the meat makes Spring extra special. Make sure you leave space for dessert! May it forever be on my London recommendation list.

One of the best meals we’ve had in London in ages. From starters to desserts: everything was gorgeous: balanced, inventive, perfectly cooked. Huge thanks to the team. And the room is gorgeous,too.

Simple dishes with an interesting twist executed using excellent produce. Calm and relaxing ambience. Stunning entrance via Somerset House. Charming staff. 10/10!

Delicious food, friendly service, a delightful evening. Thank you

The food was amazing. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend

We met old friends for dinner here tonight. We were given an excellent table that allowed us to catch up in quiet. Having said that the tables are well spaced. The food is really good and I would encourage you to have three courses. An excellent wine list with my choice guided by a very helpful waiter. The service could not be faulted.

Honestly, one of the best restaurants in London. Every dish was exquisite. Fancy and elegant, but without being pretentious. Staff was very friendly.

Skye Gyngell may have achieved amazing culinary feats at Petersham Nurseries…but she is not doing so at Spring. Many reviews comment on the ‘ beautiful, elegant, textural restaurant’. It is a beautiful room but there are many beautiful rooms in London and one dines out for the excellence of the cuisine, not the beauty of the restaurant. You cannot eat the decor, We had the set menu. Thr curd cheese and new season’s garlic on toast looked like a Sunday night scrap supper. Wild garlic grows in my garden; I do not need to go out to eat it so why, I ask, is it ubiquitous in restaurants in late spring? After the starter was served, we waited almost an hour for our main course. Mackerel is an inexpensive fish, why feature it as the main course in a so-called top restaurant? It did not look delicate on the plate, not did it taste delicate. The meal was (only just) saved by the very good meringue and lemon ice cream. Service throughout was charming but at a glacial speed. We shall not return.

The food was amazing, the interiors were amazing but the service was not. We booked for the scratch menu however we were seated with no explanation with a la carte menus. When I made sure with the waiter that we had specially booked for scratch she said the menus were given in case we wanted to order a la carte. But at no time was the scratch menu explained to us. Our meals were placed in front of us with no explanation and the main meal before our first drinks were served and whilst I was in the lavatory. When I queried what the meal was, the waiter went to take them off the table and said “if you don’t like you order off menu”. It was almost as if we offended the waiter for wanting to know what we were eating. We were then served a different meal for the main to what the “offended waiter” explained would be served. Overall the service ruined the evening.

We had the set menu which was a really reasonable price (£35 I think) and it was delicious and is made to help avoid restaurant waste. The service was also lovely.

I chose this restaurant for lunch on the last day of my trip to London. The bright, warm atmosphere and delicious food made my memories of London come to a beautiful end. I would like to visit again next time.

Fantastic Experience We booked the scratch menu which means you get what they cook using waste ingredients, but wow! Michelin star food at Gastro pub prices. Service was perfect. You never waited too long but they didn't pester you. The ambience of the restaurant is magical, and the food is brilliant. 3 courses with bottle of wine for £115 and worth every penny If you want something different when you are in London, this is the place

Beautiful and calm venue, we had the set menu of 3 courses which is a decent price. Food was delicious.

Would avoid for a la carte. The food was very tasty. We had the scratch menu which was a fixed, random 3 courses. We enjoyed each one and for £35 for 3 courses it was quite pricey but good. The main thing is the atmosphere however. Very echoey and quite stark environment with little character. A warning however - the a la carte prices are 35-40 for a main. See menu in photos. And make sure to sit on the outside or a booth. The middle is very loud even when empty and no music.

Delicious food and beautiful setting. Lovely high ceilings and brilliant service. Always there when we needed them but never felt like they were hanging over us. It’s not cheap to come here but it’s definitely worth it on a special occasion. I had the San Daniele, melon and stracciatella to start then beef fillet for mains. Both were superb.

I recently had dinner at Spring with my wife and 7 and 10 year old daughters. We had the scratch menu. I was slightly nervous going in that my daughters wouldn’t be in an adventurous mood but I can say that the restaurant far exceeded my expectations. The food, staff, and atmosphere were perfect. The kids enjoyed the asparagus soup and the fish, but loved the ice cream desert. The staff were super friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was bright and fresh. Spring is a great option before a West End show if you want to give your kids an opportunity to try something new and be adventurous.

Very good food, although fully priced and with a couple of misfiring elements on the dishes. My major gripe was with the service which was aloof and unfriendly. Why oh why do these ‘fine dining’ restaurants constantly misjudge the service!? Most diners want warm, friendly staff who speak to us like human beings, not terrified and undertrained automatons who can’t relax and enjoy serving food to diners. We had the ‘scratch’ menu (we had to ask for it, it wasn’t offered) and whilst it was good, the strained ambience in the dining room and the lack of warmth from the staff meant the meal was less enjoyable than it should have been. The wine list was also underwhelming - I always think you can tell a good sommelier by the house wine they choose. Using that yardstick, the sommelier at Spring needs to have a word with themselves.

The restaurant is tastefully decorated and in a beautiful building. However, Service not up to par. Specifically mentioned we had lactose intolerance and almost every plate that was brought had dairy, in spite of waiter assuring us they would prepare it without. Waiter seemed, overwhelmed, rushing from one table to another, and never offered to take back the dishes, and bring them with no cream or cheese. We had to eat around it. Also had to order a glass of wine three times because he kept forgetting." So in conclusion , a mediocre experience. For that price point, much better places in London .

We went here to celebrate my Mum's birthday and had an excellent experience. The dining room is so elegant, light and furnished beautifully. Service was outstanding, the team were very friendly attentive but subtle so as not be overbearing. The food is outstanding. All of the dishes we chose were made of interesting, fresh ingredients and all dishes were a hit! Particularly the trout carpachio I had for starter and lamb for main. I highly recommend Spring.

Very good hospitality, great atmosphere, delicious food neatly presented.

A friend brought me here for a leaving lunch and I am now truly devastated to be going. What a beautiful space! The food is excellent the quality, choice and preparation outstanding. So flavorful and beautifully presented in one of the most gorgeous spaces I’ve seen to date - airy, elegant and beautifully lit. I will for sure be back my next visit to London and am telling all of my friends it is a MUST.

Beautiful restaurant, good food, slow service.

Beautiful venue, well situated and the staff were amazing. The food was fantastic, highly recommend

Best beef carpaccio I’ve ever had. The setting is beautiful and the inside super luminous. A great place for lunch in town

Amazing experience. The food is really tasty and clean

Such a great place to go to for a special celebration dinner! Food was incredible, staff were lovely and very attentive and the decor and general layout was so nice! Bit in the pricier side, but for me worth it!!!

Personable service, excellent food beautiful atmosphere….. It’s elegant but not pretentious. We always want to go back to Spring!

Based in one of the wings of Sommmerset house, Spring could so easily have been a run of the mill F&B outlet catering to the West End crowd. Instead, it the restored 19th century Drawing Room, Skye Gynell (formally of Petersham Nurseries fame) and her team have created something really special. Working closely with biodynamic farm Fern Verrow to bring the UK's best produce to London, this is expensive, elegant and dripping with a style. We had the 'Scratch Menu', a zero waste menu, changing daily and with limited available - Tuesday to Saturday between 5.30pm and 6.30pm and is limited to 30 guests per evening. At £30 per head, this is an excellent value for the space, and their ongoing work with Food Waste charity Felix Project shows their commitment to this area.

It was a nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere compared to the prices in the UK. It seemed more suitable for couples rather than groups, and the quality of food and service were reasonable for the price.

The starters were good but the mains were lukewarm (potatoes were quite cold) and lamb was over seasoned (also quite cold). Overall the food was ok but not what you’d expect to pay for this price range- what really let the experience down though was the service. Our waiter was nice, but the service was painfully slow and very inattentive throughout. A glass of Tillingham wine also had a ridiculous mark up. There are restaurants in the area that are better value for money than this place sadly.

Fantastic restaurant with desserts to die for. The staff team overall were very friendly and enthusiastic about their food and the quality of it. It's not cheap, but quality like this never is. Highly recommended.

This restaurant is undeniably stunning to look at but the menu is not quite to my taste. Still, it will make for a very impressive date location, so I recommend visiting at least once. There was no background music playing when I visited so go with good company 😅 I had a main of lamb. Dessert with kumquat and orange wine. Wine lovers will be glad to know that the wine list is quite long here.

We had a wonderful lunch. Their Sommelière is extraordinary good and a wonderful person. The other staff was a bit to hectic.

Upon arrival, the Spring restaurant's meticulous attention to detail was evident in its stylish decor, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance. The monkfish dish showcased exceptional culinary skill and was a standout for me. The attentive staff, including Emma and Edona, ensured a smooth dining experience, expertly guiding us through the menu and accommodating my halal dining needs with ease. While there was a lack of a prayer space in Somerset House and the prices were on the higher side, the overall quality of the dining experience made it a worthwhile investment.

Best restaurant in London. Exquisite food, perfect service in a beautiful space. Classy but casual.

Absolutely delicious food! Will return Eva

Spring has been on our list for awhile and we weren't disappointed. After some initial issues with Sevenroom booking system all was sorted. Room is stunning and spacious, staff is friendly and professional. Fun mix of customers from those looking for value meal to others rather posh/trendy having the whole menu. Wine list has good range of price points. Food is rather exceptional. I tried the £30 scratch menu and it was both creative and delicious. My husband did À la carte and cleaned his plates (for him that means excellent). His pork was a rather massive portion. Our main server/manager was a lovely woman from Italy who paid us extra attention. She's so sweet. Already booked next visit...

A delicious, reasonably priced pre theatre menu in beautiful surroundings

Incredible meal, most amazing dining room. Fresh and inventive menu. Strong reccomend.

On a magical spring evening, my friends and I found ourselves stepping into the enchanting realm of Spring, a restaurant renowned for its culinary masterpieces and classy ambiance. We were gathered there to celebrate a special birthday. The restaurant was a vision of elegance, adorned with blooming flowers and soft lighting that cast a warm, inviting glow over the entire space. The menu was a work of art, offering a tantalizing array of dishes that promised a gastronomic adventure. Each course that arrived was amazing. It was nice to celebrate spring in the Spring! Thanks to all team.

Always wanted to go to Spring as just love Skye Gyngell’s recipes. Absolutely not disappointed. Excellent value set lunch menu which was delicious and perfectly cooked. Wine list is varied and priced fairly. Service was efficient and pleasant. Highly recommended.

Beautiful dining room with a minimalist vibe. Had the scratch menu and the starter was exceptional. My paloma cocktail was also delicious. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was good, but not great. The dessert, in particular, was disappointing. Overall, a good experience, though, and worthy of trying again.

Having been before and enjoyed it, I took an important guest for what I hoped would have been a pleasurable experience. Staff in reception and on the restaurant floor weer delightful. However, we were confronted with a smug and rude sommelier who, when I very courteously suggested that she might apologise for her rudeness to my guest simply dug herself into a hole claiming she was "just being funny" - which would not have been appropriate even if she were - but she then left the restaurant floor. I returned to the restaurant later that day and asked to speak to the General Manager who said "I'll look into it but how do you think it made her feel (being asked to apologise)?" A few days later I received an e-mail saying that they had viewed the matter on the CCTV (who knew they had it and shouldn't they tell you that you are being watched?) and whilst it looked like she had been "conciliatory sin tone" they could not check as there was no sound and, as the person was a long standing member of staff who had only ever received compliments, they were therefore drawing a line under the incident but realised I therefore might not want to return. So, the management consider themselves so superior that not only can they not bring themselves to write a proper letter of apology, they can also lace it with a final insult (which is clearly the modus operandi of the restaurant. I'm sure Skye Gyngell would be appalled.

We came here for the scratch menu. Everything about it was delightful. The food was stellar, as were the drinks. The staff were also lovely, particularly Mia who was delightful, attentive, and made our visit feel really special.

Really relaxing environment and great food. The service is efficient and professional. Would come here again. The waiter mentioned they change the dinner menu every 2 weeks

We absolutely loved our meal at Spring. The service by Jack and Jorge was perfect, friendly and attentive but not overwhelming. We had the delicious prawns and taglioni to start, I’d also highlight the chocolate and salted caramel tart dessert. We drink a lovely bottle of wine from Geelong, Australia and finished with some espresso martinis. I can’t wait to go again.

Atmosphere is stunning, service is perfection, the food is delicious and unique.

Lovely dinner with some very innovative food and attentive service

Wedding reception everything was top notch, staff very attentive food fabulous

Our family has the pleasure of dining at Spring for dinner. What a lovely restaurant it is. The decor is beautiful, the service is great and the food was exceptional. We began with the Prawn dish and the Pea Tortellini. Both dishes were delicious. We each ordered the Sea bass Entree which was enjoyed by us all. For dessert we had the Almond Cake served with strawberry sorbet, the Lemon Tart and the Peach Leaf Icecream. The lemon tart was the best tart of the trip. Thank you Spring for providing a well rounded dining experience.

Food is okay. Way overpriced. Service is very dry - as if someone has received very bad news. Wouldn’t recommend.

We decided on the scratch menu and has fun guessing what we were eating. Staff were very friendly, location lovely, food tasty, drinks great. Myself and my mum had a lovely meal can recommend.

Central location, food was home style flavor profile. Service was laid back and lingering type

Visited the gallery, then lunched at Spring restaurant, i had a lovely vegan meal my wife and cousin had roast pork everyone was well pleased with the lunch and excellent service highly recommended

Lovely and delicate food, starter (aubergine) really exceeded expectations, lovely refreshing sauce. Main course was the meatball but it was more on the salty side. Homemade ginger beer was a bit too sweet. Overall it was a great experience, the vibe is calm and comfortable, service was great. Will go back definitely.

The set "Scratch Menu", three courses made from leftovers from the night before unique, delicious and an excellent value. And it is constantly changing. There is also a full ala carte menu but we did not try that. You must specify the scratch meal when you make reservations. The setting at Somerset House is wonderful.

We had such a disappointing experience at Spring last night. Unfortunately the overall experience was lacking. The space and setting is beautiful but the food, flavours and service was lacklustre. I had the monkfish which was overwhelmed by a tomato sauce which tasted like it came out of a tin and was served with toasted sourdough and some sort of aioli. The drinks were staggeringly expensive and service average. At this price point Spring needs to do better

A great find located inside the grounds of Somerset House. It's a lovely bright and spacious dining room with tables set just far enough apart to give a sense of space. The menu is rooted in great produce with fresh and delicious ingredients. Be warned it's pricey but arguably worth every penny.

A tad expensive for a lunch. However, I became ill that evening (ate nothing else that day) and politely advised the restaurant the following day. No acknowledgment! Then after sending a reminder 4 days later, I received a somewhat unprofessional email the following day. No sense of urgency. I assume the email was from some manager. No title was given. The response was somewhat dismissive (no one else complained) and patronising (customers take ownership of their allergies). I told them I wasn’t looking for a refund! A disappointing end to what was otherwise nice afternoon.

Quel endroit !!!! Le lieu est splendide, chaleureux La décoration est de bon goût Finesse et simplicité Excellent repas Je recommande 👍👍👍

Fabulous venue, food and staff.

The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable. A fantastic dining experience overall.

Great food and attentive staff. Will definitely visit Spring again 🙂

Had a la carte lunch, but their set lunch during weekdays are of very good value. Food, services and the vibe there are all great. Kept coming back and always enjoyed. Date of visit : 19 May 2023

Very disappointed. The bread was fantastic. The wine list was good, and expectedly expensive. As a lifelong vegetarian, however, it was one of the worst meals I’ve ever had in a restaurant. A plate of roasted veg (majority potatoes) with a dollop of yogurt with tasteless chilli. Even 20 years ago, when chefs hated vegetarians, I had a stunning main course in Gordon Ramsay at Claridges (and he in particular hates vegetarians). And this dish was the only veggie option. Quite flabbergasted to be honest.

Charged my 72 year old dad £100 for not managing to cancel the booking correctly. Not cool.

Beautiful venue with good food. Shame the hostess is rather unpleasant when I told her I had a black laptop bag left in the cloakroom and she replied “well you’ve got to be more specific than that or look for it yourself!”. I won’t let it ruin a good night with friends but gosh, why the attitude with your guests???

At Somerset House, in a discreet luxury ambience, we've enjoyed a subtle and tastefully meal à la carte. As starters we've especially appreciated the «mussels with asparagus» but also the delicately perfumed sauce of the «taglioni» and the fresh and classic crab salad. The main courses, extraordinary Cornish red chicken and fillet of beef, were perfect both for the accuracy of the cooking of the meat and for the balance of the flavors of accompaniments. Nice selection of wine glasses, good fairly simple desserts and kindly professional service complete a delicious impression of total success for this dinner (and for its reasonable cost of 107£/person) .

This is one of the best place to enjoy the food and get real quality of food and traditional dishes from the country , it is a great choice !

The restaurant is beautifully and effortlessly elegant, nestled in a wonderfully historic building that offers other options if you want to make more of your day out. The wait staff were attentive, respectful and polite which is a 10/10 for me. As for the food, whatever your choice I’m sure your tastebuds will thank you for it, although I’d certainly recommend the roast potatoes for sides selection. They are unlike anything I’ve ever had before and they’re quite exceptional, and I’m very funny about roast potatoes! For drinks … do try the Rhubarb Sour. Enjoy.

Fine dining at its best! MAGNIFICENT

With the passing of the equinox a new season is in early bloom. The soothing, calm decor of the dining room is impeccable, and only surpassed by the explosion of flavors that made for one of my most memorable meals in a long time. Highly recommend it!

The dinner was okay, nothing special - definitely overpriced because of the location and the “high ceilings”. Interior is pleasant however somehow the entire atmosphere seems very pretentious: think “successful parents bringing their troubled teen for a conversation dinner” type of place. The food was acceptable but again, nothing out of the ordinary. The crispy potatoes side was actually too “crispy”, had to struggle to cut into each piece. The service was good, but I definitely won’t be coming back.

Although all restaurants are expensive now, this is definitely worth the expense. Wonderful dining room, attentive staff and fantastic food. Remains a favourite.

Beautiful, delicious modern dining in an historic setting.

A remarkable restaurant. The setting and room are elegant and impressive, they have the well designed, classical wow factor actually all too rare in London. The service is impeccable, and the food first class. It's not cheap, but it is all excellent across the board: tasty, classy, fresh and well judged.

We went for the scraps menu, where the kitchen sets the menu based on what ingredients they want to use up. We were told the menu and it sounded good, and when the dishes arrived they didn't disappoint. We even had a half bottle of wine left over from a wine tasting they had done earlier that day. Friendly, knowledgeable service too.

I just love good food, but I have finally come to admit that the surroundings and service are quite as important, and for the latter two, Spring is outstanding. Delicious touches like linen tablecloths and napkins, delightful waiting staff in the most romantic outfits from Egg, and the decor is so uplifting that even on a gloomy winter's day, it puts you in mind of spring (the season that is). The tables aren't stuffed into the space, the only tiny hint that one perhaps ought to be thinking of asking for the bill is the discrete pouring of water (carafes, no ugly commercial bottles) into glasses. A really sweet touch was a 'personal' text beforehand asking if we were still coming, and there was no compulsion to limit our meal to a set time, even though this last visit was probably the earliest dinner I've ever booked. The food was very good (veg particularly notable) and vegetarians are thoughtfully considered. I am utterly bewildered as to why Spring no longer has even a Bib Gourmand, let alone the Michelin star it once had (I think), but then again, I'm not sure I trust Michelin much any more after a shockingly poor meal at a 2 star french restaurant which has been going for decades under the same family name.
