The Clove Club in Hackney

Great Food BUT overshadowed by the constant upsell, add-ons, and extras, with absolutely no mention of price (maybe intentional as they can easily double/triple the overall cost of the meal). This soured the evening, leaving us feeling exploited, in what was otherwise a decent meal!: 1) Not allowed to book for 5 people, but OK for 6! (didn't want to waste a fee earning seat!) - and that's after six calls to book in the first place, and even then we weren't seated in the main restaurant but outside in the lobby / bar. 2) Had to eat at 6.15pm, to make way for second sitting at 9pm. 3) Charged for tap water!! 4) Almost no wine under £50 a bottle 5) Waiter tries to 'Upsell' all the time, with no mention of prices of all the extras, some of which aren't even made clear they are extras! 6) 12% tip automatically added to the bill I appreciate excellent food at appropriate prices, and have eaten in most of the 'best' & Michelin star restaurants in town (we are not cheapskate 'hicks' from out of town). I also realise this is one of the 'hottest' places in London at the moment - and I'm sure you aspire to have customers for whom price is irrelevant, but you still have a core client base who want to make informed choices, so please have the courtesy to mention prices alongside all your upgrades and extras!

Two Michelin stars THE CLOVE CLUB Modern British cuisine The first course has a bit of Japanese flavor The main course turned out to be roast suckling pig! The food is not salty overall I like this British and Western food very much! Finally, the ice cream is sweet and sour I really like this kind of dessert that relieves tiredness and appetizes, rather than the pile of sweetness just for the sake of dessert.

Treat yourself, treat your partner, treat someone else's partner....The Clove Club with ensure everyone is blown away. The style of the decor, relaxed chatty staff and a tasting menu that is amongst the best I've ever had or could possibly imagine. Dress to impress and dare to dream of the stars dancing on your taste buds for days to come. The Swan Lake amongst fine dinning.

Went in 2016 and is still top of the list for my wife and I. Just getting around to leaving a Google review. Could have changed completely since then but remains to this day one of our favourite experiences. Got the Tasting Menu with Wine Pairing.

PLEASE DON'T EAT AT CLOVE CLUB. Both my adult kids got food poisoning after eating at this restaurant. We were visiting London and wanted to try a Michelin star restaurant and what a disappointment. Instead, we got throwing up, all night long and the rest of our trip was ruined.

Went for our wedding anniversary. We had tasting menu with wine flight. Staff were very professional and attentive. Food was good. I thought the wine could have been more equal, as there were differences between my husband's and mine, with me always getting a shorter measure. Despite paying the same price for each of us. When we mentioned it to the sommelier she didn't seem to be interested. Higher end in terms of cost so you want it to meet your expectations.

Genuinely the best restaurant I have eaten in. It's Michelin so you know the standard of food and service you're going to get. But beyond that, it's personal and genuine.

We went for a birthday dinner, and we couldn't have been happier. From the moment we walked into the dining room, the staff were warm and welcoming. The menu flowed at a great pace, and the dishes were executed perfectly, flavours were outstanding of every dish along with their descriptions. We must thank Em our Sommelier on the night and Paolo for their amazing hospitality throughout the night. We were super happy with the wine choice! It was truly memorable.

Excellent food and cocktails. Super imaginative.

Later, I returned to London several times, but I was never able to rekindle the old relationship. On the one hand, my journey to stardom was smooth, and it became extremely difficult to book a reservation. On the other hand, I had such a good impression when I first met that I was worried that I would just repeat the same old skills when I became a superstar, which would ruin the future. Endless good feelings in the memory.

In der historischen Town Hall in Shoreditch gelegen bietet der Clove Club ein herausragendes Menü in einer interessanten Umgebung und besonders guten Service. Zwei Michelin Sterne sind schon ein Hinweis, das wirkliche Erlebnis aber die absolute Krönung. Jetzt sind wir schon so lange in London und haben ihn jetzt erst entdeckt. Wirklich gemacht um wieder zu kommen! Vielen Dank!

I had lunch with a friend on Saturday the 2nd August 2024 - I can't recommend enough. The service was excellent from everybody we met, the wine recommendations were superb. The food is the star of the show, well executed and balanced, with some very clever dishes. I highly recommend and a big thank you to everyone for such an enjoyable experience.

The food does not meet my high expectations, but it was good. The chef had no hat and gloves while tasting customer food. Food to mouth and then food without washing hands.

The best High end food I've tasted. Approx £800 including entrees, 7 course tasting menu, cocktails, wine, coffee. Mixed wine flight was genius. Service as good as anywhere in the world.

A rare feat the food is the focus and they taste good. This 1-star restaurant beats many 2 or 3-starred.

One of my favorite restaurants in London. I revisited it after many years and was still surprised at every turn. "The Clove Club" is a two-Michelin-starred restaurant. It had not yet received a star, so I accidentally ordered lunch and went there. From the service to the food, I was eye-opening. Later, I returned to London several times, but I was never able to rekindle the old relationship. On the one hand, my journey to stardom was smooth, and it became extremely difficult to book a reservation. On the other hand, I had such a good impression when I first met that I was worried that I would just repeat the same old skills when I became a superstar, which would ruin the future. Endless good feelings in the memory. After surviving the epidemic, the restaurant has been greatly renovated. This time I arrived in London and had the idea of ​​​​visiting again. There is still room at noon on Saturday, so I will give it a try to see if everything is as good as before. Not only is it the same as before, it's even better. The space is wider, and diners and the open kitchen are in the same room. The service staff perform their duties but occasionally come in to introduce the food on the table; the female sommelier does not quote classics but brings relevant tastes brought by the specific geographical background, and the whole restaurant has a strong flow. Energy makes people indulge in the temptation of delicious food. Food, really good. Don’t stick to the traditional methods of ingredients, but also bring out the original intention of the food; don’t rely too much on sauces, but use juices from time to time to bring out the hidden essence. On the tip of your tongue, you can experience the chefs playing the world, with elites from Italy, Spain, England, France, South Africa, and the United States, traveling to various countries, and experiencing countless things. When I passed the kitchen after finishing my meal, the service staff who greeted me today all smiled and nodded, and I returned the greetings one by one. I was wondering, how did I become the Dolly of "Hello Dolly"🤣🤣🤣, and should I also sing a "Promise" you'll never go away, Dolly'll never go away again"? ❤️❤️❤️

perfectly cooked. dessert could be more elegant.

Very good place, highly recommended!

I'm still reeling from the poor or indifferent reviews for the Clove Club. Every single aspect from the initial greeting to the final goodbye was truly exceptional. We had the vegetarian tasting menu which provided course after course of beautifully presented, exquisite, sophisticated flavour layering, delights. The wine pairing was highly skilled in picking out certain flavour notes to perfection. The team worked as a team and helped make a memorable evening. The setting is somewhat austere but does manage a club atmosphere. There were two minor bits of criticism but they were based on personal preference rather than actual mistakes. I've rarely paid so much for a meal and called it value for money. This place is very special.

Celebrated here for my birthday and everyone made sure I had a lovely night!!! The Tasting Menu was just delicious and amazingly put together - for another special occasion I will definitely come back! Thank you Clove Club for a beautiful evening :D

Incredible. Decadent. Worth every penny.

Yum yum yum nothing more to say!

Delicious, innovative dishes. Every bite is better than the last.

2 stars Michelin restaurant in Shoreditch. It’s used to be number 32 but fell to 80th place in the world’s best restaurant (as of June 2024). Dropped out of top 50 unfortunately. Came here for lunch on Saturday. We chose the short tasting menu. I had to say all were excellent. I usually judge the restaurant by the bread and butter. I found bread was slightly tough. The butter was good but not outstanding. I also feel they should improve “the attention to detail of the whole dining experience”. Felt more like Michelin restaurant rather than world’s top 100. If you happen to experience in Tokyo or in Asia or Paris etc, you would understand. IFKYK

Intimate dining experience with front row seats looking into the kitchen. Service was impeccable with great attention to detail. I was touched by the handwritten card and personalised menu that was provided as a keepsake. We opted for the vegetarian tasting menu which consisted of 7 courses including a number of additional dishes to start. The food ate well with the crispy Shiso leaf being the highlight. I found many of the dishes contained similar ingredients like cheese, mushrooms or asparagus and some of the courses were also prepared in a similar fashion leading to us having a number of granitas and sorbets throughout the meal. We also found the Beremeal pancakes a challenge to eat without the aid of cutlery, leaving our hands sticky. Whilst my Loquat sorbet was perfectly centred on the plate I noticed it was very much off centre on my partner’s dish. Overall a pleasant experience elevated by the service.

An amazing dining experience. They take food and service to a whole another level.

A bit of a dive, needs a clean up

Just wow! What an amazing dinner experience we had, truly loved it:) The food was just delicious and the service was very nice and kind of on your level compared to other Michelins star restaurants. It’s not a snobbish environment that you’re used to see in these types of restaurants. We went for the big tasting menu and took a bottle of Chablis.

Got in my last day in London and loved the spot. Food, service, vibes all were top notch. Did the short tasting menu for lunch.

One of the best food experiences I’ve ever had. Amazing!!!

Not sure what was going on Slightly chaotic service Signature dish was ‘flavourless’ Shows how important the’chef patron ‘ is

Brilliant evening - and superb substitutions to accommodate my wife’s allergies despite very little notice. The second and not the last time to visit and gets better each time

As I celebrated my 60th birthday at The Clove Club in London, I found myself enveloped in an atmosphere of understated elegance, where the service was as refined as the dishes served. Nestled in the historic Shoreditch Town Hall, this restaurant has rightfully earned its place among the city's gastronomic elite with its innovative approach to British cuisine. The evening began with an amuse-bouche that set a playful yet sophisticated tone: The wine pairing, a suggestion from our knowledgeable sommelier, complemented and perfectly balanced the richness of each course. As I reflect on my 60th birthday at The Clove Club, it was not just a meal but a memorable gastronomic journey. The chefs' mastery in fusing traditional ingredients with modern techniques was evident in every bite, and the attentive, yet unobtrusive service made the evening all the more special. This experience wasn’t just about celebrating a milestone in years but was a toast to the art of fine dining itself. The Clove Club didn’t just host my birthday; it enriched it with flavors and memories that linger! A true gem in London’s culinary crown!

I had a pretty pour experience at the restaurant. Flavours where really bland to the point that we asked for some tabasco (in high end restaurant, seems crazy i know). We also make few other requests that were completely ignored. I also send an email asking for explanation and a refund and it was completely ignored for over 2 weeks (see screenshot). Extremely poor to completely ignore customer complaints for such an high end restaurant.

Great atmosphere and wines. Food was not bad given the standard, but fell short of our expectations. There was nothing exceptional that makes us want to go back or to recommend to others.

Lucky enough to be invited to join a couple of friends at this fabulous restaurant. I'm pescatarian; one friend was vegan and the other a omnivore. We each had individual menus of so many courses, I lost count. Plus appetizers to start and petit fours after two dessert courses. Oh my gosh, what an amazing tongue-tingling range of fresh tastes and textures. Each course was sublime. I think probably the langoustine was my favourite but it's hard to choose. But I don't think I've ever been so aware of so many individual flavours - who knew Cardoons would make a wonderful soup? I can't stop going on about it. The staff were lovely and both friends enjoyed theirs but I don't think the Vegan had ever been offered such incredible choice.

The food was amazing. Some of the most interesting dishes we’ve eaten. At least 5 courses were off menu and in addition to the listed tasting menu. We had more than enough food. Also one of the most expensive meals we’ve ever had but we knew that going into it. Would recommend the langoustine upgrade but we didn’t find the caviar addition did much to the soup it was added to. The fruit sorbet and habanero shaved ice was a bizarre and delicious second to last course. It was a 3.5 hour ordeal which is aggressive for my wife and I but we enjoyed it and are glad we did it.

I had the most amazing vegan tasting menu at The Clove Club. Wonderfully inventive use of spectacular ingredients, flavours and textures. There atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Superb!

Refined dining in an unpretentious setting. Incredibly inventive seasonal fare beautifully presented. Friendly and knowledgeable staff - well worth it!

Fantastic, exquisite cooking from Chef Isaac and team. Truly amazing! This was my second visit and it was even better than the first time. Now I have to go back again. What these guys are doing is incredible. Also, the service is impeccable. Special mention to our server, Michelle, as well as our sommelier Zach. And everything runs smoothly under the watchful eye of Paolo.

Really enjoyed a lunch tasting menu with our friends here. They had really good vegetarian options for one of our party. The atmosphere of the place is relaxed and it’s fun to see the chefs preparing the food nearby.

5/5 what an experience this was. The entire journey of this culinary course was insane. The staff were amazing. Zack in particular who was hilarious and extremely knowledgeable about the wines paired with each dish. The food was absolutely amazing and I’ve been to a lot of tasting menu restaurants and I’m officially putting this at the top

I was quite disappointed with the meal we had. As vegetarians, I thought they could have tried to incorporate other items into the menu. For a 6 course meal to primarily have just potato and truffle was highly disappointing. We’ve been to many restaurants like this and usually the food covers a wide range of items which I felt did not happen on this occasion.

An amazing experience! The food was incredible and the staff were so attentive and knowledgeable. They made us feel very special.

Food was good, but atmosphere was uncomfortable and pretentious. Servers fake , not genuine. Didn’t even ask why we had not even touched one of our dishes. And given it’s £195 per person for the tasking menu, seemed a little rude not to ask at least.

I was not sure if to write this review as I don’t like putting places down unless they are really disappointing, and it is somewhat late, however having compared this to many other Michelin star restaurants/ those of a similar level, I did want to write this review as I was just so disappointed, both at the time and in hindsight. Overall I was hugely disappointed with this restaurant. The food was good, but nowhere near 2* level, not a patch on starred restaurants like Story, Frog, Sabor, A Wong or Evelyn’s Table or even those that are just below that level such as Angelina, Ikoyi (at the time I went) or Perilla. I think back to all these restaurants and can remember something memorable that’ll stick with me for years, yet at Clove it’s nothing, just average upon average. I also think the service was very strange. Yes they folded your napkin when you went to the bathroom, and topped up your water, but it was totally lacklustre - no energy, little excitement - and the guy serving us (think it was a bald middle-aged guy) had a strange demeanour - friendly but distant. The space was also unwelcoming. We went into the bar and loved it, but then we were seated on a strangely bare table in an enclave in the corner. It was cold and unwelcoming. I think the biggest kicker was the price. All the restaurants mentioned above were cheaper than this, yet this was the worse quality. I was really so disappointed as the bill was over £600. In conclusion, I was so excited to come here and I really wanted to love it - it had been on my list for years. I kept telling my partner it would get better, but it never did. I just cannot recommend Clove Club and cannot fathom how it is in all of these top restaurant lists. Please save your money and go to one of the places I have mentioned above.

Nice vibe, excellent service and incredible food. Pretty much all meals were a hit.

Truly remarkable restaurant, from start to finish. Each course was fantastic — I couldn’t decide what I liked best — and appropriately small to allow for so many fantastic tastes. Dinner wasn’t rushed, but was also wonderfully paced, and the wine suggestion was spot on. My friend said it was the best meal she had ever had!

The food is okay, main dishes are nice, one of the dessert is good. Others are around the average.

I can't remember a place I've liked better than The Clove Club so let's say they're tied for first. Their menu always has a few creative dishes that will be unlike anything else, while also tasting better than anything else.

Had an enjoyable evening at the bar counter for single diner. It's great that the bartender is quite engaging; and I do appreciate that the servers spend a bit of time to slowly explain the dishes. The 2 wines recommended by the sommelier were wonderful; and the food portion is just right. Overall feeling of the place is positive.

It's a nice to have your delicates

What an experience. My husband surprised me for my milestone birthday. The food was incredible. We had the mixed wine and tea pairing which was a new and interesting experience. The staff were so helpful and friendly and the atmosphere was perfect. I had a really enjoyable evening and I would definitely recommend the Clove Club.

Decent service, below average food and real lack of effort.

This is an excellent restaurant, but two of the dishes were less inspiring than they sounded. The service was flawless. I’m surprised they have 2 Michelin stars, given that stars are awarded for many factors in addition to quality of cuisine. One thing that I found terrible was the odd bathroom, with its miserable sink.

This was truly one of the most memorable and delicious meals I've ever eaten. Every course was not only beautifully presented, but so unique in flavor profile and ingredients and just so yummy! The service was attentive and caring without being overbearing. The wine selections were perfect! We dined for more four hours! i cannot recommend Clove enough! It's worth the money.

Just wow! What an amazing dinner experience we had, truly loved it:) The food was just delicious and the service was very nice and kind of on your level compared to other Michelins star restaurants. It’s not a snobbish environment that you’re used to see in these types of restaurants. We went for the big tasting menu and took a bottle of Chablis. *The only note I would like to point out and a small detail I didn’t really “like” was the upselling. So you get a menu and then few dishes have additional charge to add truffles or caviar. Honestly when you get a tasting menu this isn’t something that should be there. And plus it’s awkward when you’re on a date to say okay I want this and that but not the latter. This is the only thing I’m pointing out because other than that it’s flawless.

**-Michelin restaurant that is well-deserved

Faultless. A seam of exquisite flavour, texture, and seasoning through the entire tasting menu. Crispy pork jowl good, smoked trout with flaked almonds better, potato mousse with truffle best. Great service and wine options

5 out of 5 stars. 100%. A+. I will forever sing praises of my experience here. The restaurant is not pretentious at all. It’s so minimalistic and is the epitome of quiet luxury. You might actually walk right past it because it’s so understated. As soon as you walk through the door, however, you are treated like a celebrity. You are ushered into a small room with a direct view of the open kitchen. You see the chef, the sous chef and the staff hustling quietly and in an organized fashion. We were seated at the front table and were maybe 3 meters away from the prep station. It was such an intimate dining experience. The staff were extremely professional. There were more staff than clients to make sure the diners had the best experience. The food was stellar, both in taste and presentation. The lobster and the pork were my standout favorites of the tasting menu, but to be honest, everything was delicious. It’s also not just what’s on the tasting menu because the kitchen staff add a few extra little bites in between the courses. Truly, it was such a special, unique experience and definitely worth it for a special occasion.

Ein gutes Restaurant. Alles war ausgezeichnet. Die Speisen waren von bester Qualität und geschmacklich sehr gut. Alle Gänge des 'Tasting Menüs' waren ganz wunderbar. Die korrespondierenden Weine waren top. Der Service war stets präsent, ohne aufdringlich zu sein, sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Excellent experience! The dishes were all great and the service outstanding (warm, personal and not too formal). Good atmosphere (a bit too cold though). Will be back!

We went to the Clove Club to celebrate our wedding anniversary. From beginning to when you leave the staff is great. From the dining room you have front row seats to the open kitchen that works like clockwork. All dishes were nicely balanced and taste is impeccable. There were some unexpected combinations which all worked great together. Some reviews mention price, but it’s in line with other 2 michelin star restaurants we’ve been to. Maybe not fir people who love classic solid food, but if you like pure ingredients and unexpected combos this restaurant should be on you your list.

Fabulous food and service, a wonderful experience, the sommelier was knowledgeable and lovely, the atmosphere was great and service wonderful and not at all stuffy

Truly specular meal. Went for lunch and had the short tasting menu bc I was pressed for time. Wonderful flavors and beautiful presentation. Didn't think I'd enjoy the habenero granita or warm potato mousse as much as I did. Really wish I was able to experience the full tasting menu. I guess that means I need to come back! The best meal of week-long trip in London.

What an amazing experience! Food is absolutely out of this world and the tea and wine pairing is an absolute must to complete the meal. Service is impeccable, attentive and very knowledgeable of the food and drink provided whilst holding great conversation and humour making them amazing hosts. This place doesn't come cheap however it is worth every last penny you spend. An absolute must for a once in a lifetime meal. Cannot thank the staff enough for such a fantastic evening, thank you.

Sept 27th, 2023 seating. Our experience at the Clove Club was outstanding. The exceptional and friendly service combined with the culinary artistry and wine pairing validated its inclusion on the "Top 50 List". 100%. I am not a vegetarian, but the Vegetarian Tasting Menu looked amazing, so I ordered it. It exceeded expectations. The courses presented layered and subtle flavors balanced with offerings that were complex and fresh and beautifully composed. From the Green Herb Broth to the Wild Mushroom with pomme puree and Habañero Granita–every course was absolutely tops. My husband ordered the non-vegetarian menu and was very happy, as well. The wine pairing was spot on and delicious (poured with just the right amount of information– you know what I mean if you have ever had a sommelier who was more interested in showcasing their knowledge than the guest experience :-|.) All in all, a perfect dining experience. Must mention: The Clove Club staff is the ultimate–welcoming and professional, not overbearing or stuffy, and able and willing to answer any and every question regarding the courses or wine. To fully enjoy, allow yourself plenty of time to be relaxed for the evening. I highly recommend the Clove Club for anyone who appreciates unique, artistic dining experiences that still feel like you are eating beautiful but real food! (and not simply precious arrangements...) Well worth the time and expense, even if it is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Fantastic meal with excellent, highly attentive service.

Quite frankly, I walked out of the Clove Club feeling extremely queasy, with an unsettling suspicion that I had been scammed. I was extremely disappointed with this experience, despite having looked forward to it for many weeks. As a frequent traveler and food enthusiast, I am well accustomed to the standards and expectations of fine dining restaurants across the spectrum, and am flabbergasted that this establishment bamboozled reviewers into granting it two Michelin stars. Upon arrival, I was greeted extremely coldly by all staff. The building was bare bones and rustic—an aesthetic that works well in some no-frills restaurants, but in this case, fell flat. A sad dying green plant sat in the corner near my table, which seemed to set the tone for the next excruciating three hours. There was much confusion as to whether or not the restaurant carried bottled water, and the communication between servers was poor. I waited over 20 minutes to speak to a sommelier. Of note, after leaving my table, she fielded complaints from the adjacent table regarding the poor pacing and selection of the wine pairing. Once the service began, with a lackluster amuse bouche and extremely slowly arriving flavorless and uninspired dishes—I was itching to leave this culinary purgatory. The most horrifying moment of the meal was when a staff member placed a truffle on the table—described it and allowed me to smell it, before informing me that if I agreed to pay an additional 40 pounds—I would be granted the privilege of tasting it. I found this extraordinarily tacky. A sales pitch during a nearly $1,000 meal was previously unthinkable. The staff became increasingly cold after this failed attempted sale. Many times, fine dining restaurants live up to the hype generated within the circle of prestigious restaurant reviewers. This did NOT. I implore you to avoid this establishment and spend your dollars at the other magnificent restaurants in London.

Comfortable and attentive service without being cloying or overweening. Food that absolutely astonishes. Terrific atmosphere to share a several-hours food experience with someone you love or people you want to bond with.

Jheeeze. Ring the alarm. This is a seriously decadent day out. Went for the lunch menu - genuinely the best food I’ve had the pleasure of eating. Thoughtful, vibrant, and continually impressive, dish after dish. A proper treat, this. If you love your food, your wine, and your mates, get yourself down here for a bit of scran. Bring your nearest and dearest. Not cheap, but worth every penny!

Everything brilliant!! The only thing was that the menu, wine and ect. was without tax... that is the only bad thing because it wasn't written

Lækker, smukt anrettet og serveret mad, og ikke mindst super søde, behagelige og profesionelle tjenere🤩

A 2 michelin star dining experience well worth its position at the top of the world's 50 best list in the UK. 5 stars. We arrived and were seated to a central table in front of a window in the main dining room, with a handwritten card from the staff congratulating us on a special milestone. Staff were friendly and attentive, but relaxed throughout and made us feel at home. No dish from the fresh seafood leaning menu disappointed but the hot smoked Wiltshire trout with Oscietra caviar and Cornish sardine sashimi were my personal favourites. A lovely bottle of white burgundy (very reasonably priced for a 1er cru) recommended by the sommelier paired well with the course of the meal with champagne by the glass to start with the pre-menu snacks. I couldn't recommend The Clove Club more highly to anyone looking for a British fine dining experience second to none.

One of the best food + dining experiences I’ve ever had We did the tasting menu and wine pairing and I don’t think it’s a surprise for you to know if was unreal. The meal flowed seamlessly and the wine pairing was on point to compliment each meal Obviously a 2 Michelin star restaurant so you expect a high standard across the board. However, it’s the personal touches and general personality of the place/staff that took me by surprise anyway. We went there for our anniversary dinner and the Clove Club team really went the extra mile to make it a great occasion… hand written letters, special deserts etc. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a special occasion or just a generally amazing food and drink experience!

Amazing experience! Such a great team at The Clove Club. The food was delicious, the wine pairings were really fun and on point, and the service was super friendly and hospitable. We'll be back for sure.

Well deserved Michelin stars especially with a great venue, attentive service, superb food and an overall memorable experience. I enjoyed a lot of the seafood dishes, and appreciate the balance between exquisite ingredients and classics.

Dropped by for a long anticipated dinner - left full, impressed and very much anticipating a return trip!

Yeh absolutely different🫠 can’t recommend the cider though, it’s low key mid - food hit though

My second time here ! Lovely place . Service is good . Wine list is comprehensive . Food are great as usual !!!

Amazing place, this was our second meal there and it is absolutely flawless. Wine parings were some of the most impressive pairings I have ever had.

An unexpected billing ordeal and subsequent interactions with the management tarnished the Clove Club's culinary delights. The lack of transparent communication regarding potential additional costs and an unwillingness from the owner to address our concerns respectfully has greatly impacted our perspective on what was supposed to be a distinguished Michelin-starred experience.

While The Clove Club presented an enchanting culinary journey, our experience was overshadowed by a noticeable lack of transparency in billing. Our final bill far exceeded the expected amount based on the provided menu pricing, with no clear communication or justification for additional costs encountered during our meal. An amicable resolution post-dining was unfortunately not achieved, dampening our overall impression of this Michelin-starred establishment.

It was an amazing food experience!! The scallop dish was amazing! In general, all the dishes were an explosion of flavors!!The wines also excellent!!

Brilliant menu. Stunning service. Will savor that experience for a lifetime.

We booked this restaurant as it was voted one of the top restaurants in London and had two Michelin stars. They do tasting menus, a longer and shorter version. Open kitchen where you get to see the chefs at work. All was very calm in the kitchen! We started off with snacks and I expected a few as previous restaurants we had been to did. No there were about 6or 7! Food was very good with the mackerel sushi and trout course being the stand out dishes. We had some dishes adapted for us as we have a few dietary restrictions. Lovely service especially from the young Italian chap (sorry can’t remember your name but had an Ozzie tattoo!) The sommelier was very good and she explained all the wines in great detail. Small restaurant and would definitely book in advance.

Gran lugar para disfrutar. Cumplio con todas mis expectativas. En especial la atención del personal en donde debo destacar la atención de Daniel, quien nos pudo explicar varios de los platos en español y le trajo lápices y hojas para que nuestra hija se mantuviera entretenida y nosotros pudieramos seguir disfrutando. Sin duda merecen estar dentro de los top 50 a diferencia de otros restaurants en londres en donde no pudimos reservar por estar con nuestra hija de un año. Felicidades a todo el equipo. Saludos desde Chile.

Worth all of the hype (and money)

Took a mate here for his 40th bday. Was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. He got the wine pairing and I got the tea pairing (not something I have ever heard of before!). All really enjoyable and delicious. All the staff were excellent and the young sommelier was pretty hilarious. I gotta be honest tho this is the most I have ever spent on a meal in my life. It is deffo not cheap. The bill came to ~850 for 2. I really enjoyed it tho which is saying something. I plan to take my wife on a special occasion as well. Keep up the great work across the whole restaurant.

Background I first tried it when it opened in 2013. This is my second time around after a decade. It is a restaurant with Michelin-star status Ambience: The restaurant is elegant and sophisticated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The stylish decor, coupled with dim lighting, sets the stage for an intimate dining experience. I was told that the recently refurbished. Service: The service was nothing short of impeccable. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and professional, ensuring that every guest feels well taken care of. From the moment you step in, you are greeted with a warm welcome, and throughout the meal, the staff is prompt in their service, ensuring that your needs are met. Food: I feel that the non-vegetarian options are exceptional cos my dinner companion was pretty satisfied with the food, but the vegetarian degustation menu had its hits and misses. Some dishes stood out with their unique flavours and presentation, while others fell short of expectations. The vegetarian options could benefit from more consistency and refinement. Overall: It was a memorable dining experience with its elegant ambience, impeccable service, and innovative cuisine.

The best restaurant experience I have ever had. I have been here for a 7 course (or more?) menu over one Friday afternoon. I will never forget the food choreography, the taste, the quality, the surprises, the sommelier and the warm hospitality the staff created. Always on my mind, Nils

Amazing restaurant. Delicious food, great wine selection. Impeccable service. The attention to allergies and diet restrictions

Super as usual. Second time to this amazing restaurant and I will definitely make the 3rd!

Wow, wow, wow — simply spoiled from start to finish! Interesting tea and wine pairing, give it a try if it’s still on the menu. Pro-tip: the restaurant isn’t within the town hall building itself but next door in a building of its own. Expect to spend at least £300+ on the tasting menu with the welcome champagne, beverage pairing, coffee/tea.

Only had one night in London available for a long meal, so had to choose judiciously. The Eater Top 50 list has them ranked at #38 and the Michelin guide has them at 2 stars, so decided to try this place to celebrate a few family birthdays. Definitely worth the steep price tag. A month later, there are 2 dishes that stick in my mind. Early in the meal - the smoked trout dish. It was so delicate and flavorful. And later in the meal - the pork dish. The skin was perfectly crunchy, salty, and juicy. The fat layer was spiced to perfection. And the meat layer was juicy and tender. I've had a lot of good pork from a lot of good restaurants, but this was as close to perfection as you could get. The wine pairings were pretty spot on. Really enjoyed the Clemens Busch riesling.

Superlative in every way and deserving of its praise. Rare to experience such a brilliant degustation in a down-to-earth and relaxed setting. The staff are as good as the food - world class.

Every dish was a masterpiece, truly culinary Artist, Isaac McHale's food tastings menus are renowned for their harmonious flavors with meticulous attention to detail.

Just a wonderful experience from start to finish. Each course was so well executed and thought out. The details were perfect. The service was above and beyond and the cocktails were fabulous. Really, really great time here! This was great for a vegetarian as the vegetarian tasting menu was perfect.

We were able to snag last-minute bar seats, and I am so glad we did! The staff was warm and welcoming, and chatted with us throughout. The individual dishes were thoughtful and delicate, some stood out more than others. We went for the wine-tea pairing...
