Friendly, if a little stuffy! A friend visited in such perfectly pressed denim pants, that I was shocked when the waitress told him he wasn’t welcome, since we only visited for 15 minutes. Still, though my south facing room was a bit small, it was cozy, with a lovely view. Breakfast was welcoming and I found myself making friends! Staff was unfailingly helpful and polite. It’s very pleasant to be somewhere where people are dressed decorously, it’s true! I long to come back. It’s a beautiful place, well priced for a reciprocal member. An incredible value, with a Concierge so delightful you want to take him home with you!

Old fashioned professional service is the Normal at the main dining room at the Royal Automobile Club in the hart of London. Great wine selection, knowledgeable sommelier and very friendly Maitre'D made for a fantastic experience. Irish oysters were followed by expertly prepared sautéed Foie Gras. For our main we selected Dover Sole ,fresh, head on and delectable Pricing was very reasonable for such a grand setting and quality

Having visited the club many times I feel compelled to, on one hand commend the place which has generally been a venue in which I’ve enjoyed a variety of good evenings, very acceptable food, decent selection of beer & wine and generally very good service. It’s also fair to say that standards may be slipping. Food yesterday was very ordinary. Poorly prepared veg, tasteless mains, forgotten orders never brought to the table and a poor selection of beers due to stocks running out we were told. I know it’s hard to maintain staffing and quality in these hard pressed times but members pay circa a £2k a year for the privilege. Most of the grumbles and gripes mentioned here can be addressed through suitably ambitious management and an acceptance of only the highest standards. I hope these times return to this memorable venue.

I was quite surprised by the lack of security and control. During my recent event attendance, two strangers managed to walk in and steal some valuable items from the event room. What disappointed me even more, was the lack of accountability from the club's management regarding this security breach. Given the reputation of the club, I had higher expectations regarding security and access control. It's disheartening to be a victim of such an incident and I feel that the club should have taken more care to ensure the safety and satisfaction of its members.

Nice decor and ambiance. Service was poor and sloppy with little attention paid to keeping the table tidy. Food was poorly prepared. Fish was tasteless and not fresh, served with vegetables that were overcooked. Lamb was over cooked though order was for medium rare. No one at the table enjoyed their dishes. Both food and service have been declining in the past two years.

Our friends who are members at the RAC invited me to dinner in the Grand Gallery restaurant to celebrate my birthday. We started with a bottle of champagne in the comfortable bar area after having viewed a few of the Royal family's vintage vehicles in the foyer. The Great Gallery room is impressive to say the least. It's ornate with its gold guilded ceiling. The food was devine and the service impecable. It will be a night to remember.

Another absolutely fabulous dinner at The Great Gallery - a grand old-school setting. You'd easily think you were inside a French Chateau. Faultless service, impeccable menu and very good wine list. Nothing to fault. If you're not a member, befriend one, and be nice to them and get yourself an invitation. Must be the best value Michelin starred fine dining in London.

Visited to attend Motorsport UK’s Night of Champions. Wheelchair and I assisted through revolving door and up the internal lift system to the first floor. Very grand rotunda, beautiful artwork on the walls, and stone columns all around. Drinks were held in the Committee Room, before moving across to the Mountbatten room for the dinner and presentations. Was made to feel welcome at every stage, assistance offered if needed. At the end of the evening, the doorman assisted me out of the building and got a wheelchair taxi for me. First class service.

Stayed at the club as an impromptu last minute booking. The whole check-in process was seamless and the staff were perfectly attentive. The room itself was immaculate (mostly) if a little dated. I understand that club intends to modernise its accommodation offering and this is certainly welcome. Similarly, the Turkish baths could also do with modernisation and careful restoration of period features to ensure that it remains (or perhaps retains its status as) a ‘selling point’. As per usual, the breakfast and staff in the Brooklands room were excellent.

We ate in the Brooklands Restaurant as we wanted my family from the US to experience something of London's clubland, and The RAC Club didn't disappoint. A friendly welcome; and a restaurant which offered good food, superb service, which was less stuffy than the more formal restaurants. We were also pleasantly surprised by the price, which was very fair by St James's standards. We enjoyed the Club Room after dinner which was a convivial place to catch up and enjoy teas and petit fours.

El desayuno en la sala de Brooklands siempre es un placer, pero esta vez cenamos dos veces en el restaurante Great Gallery. La comida era excelente ya un precio razonable como es la lista de vinos. Solo un pequeño inconveniente fue un urogallo que francamente había estado volando demasiado tiempo y era duro. Otra comida muy buena y servicio perfecto y amable. El RAC hace todo lo posible para satisfacer las restricciones alimentarias (sin sal en mi caso), lo cual es bienvenido.

The place is very large with billiard rooms, squash courts, basketball, saunas and multiple bars/ dining options. There is also a large pool inside. I believe it's 3 or 4 floors. The architecture is nice and of course there are a few automobiles inside. The facade is unpretentious and you would never know what was behind the doors.

Pedimos hígado de ternera para el plato principal y en cuestión de minutos estaba en la mesa, como si hubiera estado sentado en la cocina, ya preparado, esperando que alguien ordenara. El plato estaba tibio, lo mismo que la comida. Bacon fue duro. El plato de queso incluía Stilton, demasiado frío e insípido. Lo envié de vuelta.

Get a member to take you here. The great gallery restaurant is one of the grandest dining rooms in London with spacious table placement. Perhaps the food doesn't quite reach Michelin star quality, but the prices are reasonable for the West End, even if the wines are no longer the outstanding value they used to be and might be expected in a private gentlemen's club. Excellent and unusual reasonably priced cocktails in the bar.

We went to the RAC recently for a birthday, as we have a reciprocal arrangement with our NY club, and had a horrific experience. We experienced what can only be described as racism, it's very much an old boy's network and if you don't fit in they make it abundantly clear by constantly staring and scrutinising your every move. The staff were very nice and tried to make amends but we were made to feel incredibly unwelcome by the members. The other members in the club are all white, overprivileged and entitled men who were not able to tolerate anyone who is remotely different. There needs to be better vetting of members and policies put in place to deal with stuffy, traditional nonsense. In this day and age it really is unthinkable that an institution like the RAC would tolerate modern day colonialism under the guise of a member's club. Adapt with the times or risk losing your reputation. We will not be coming back.

I visit London 4-6 times per year and now stay only at the RAC. My club in New York has a reciprocal arrangement which is lucky for me because you can only stay here or eat here if you are a member or a guest of one. The bedrooms are comfortable and pleasant adequate size -- and at half? a quarter? of the price of alternative elegant hotels in Mayfair tremendous value. The public rooms are glorious -- lively formal bar, 2 additional bars, a huge gorgeous salon for hanging out, snacking, playing backgammon, chess, or bridge. Outdoor drinks and dining when the weather is fine. There is a formal restaurant I haven't yet tried but is meant to be excellent. The less formal restaurant is where you have a superb breakfast that is included in the room rate. Squash courts and a truly magnificent swimming pool. Concierge is excellent. The drawbacks are very minor -- limited room service and a pretty strict dress code. Yes it's a bit stuffy, formal, snooty even -- but I love staying at this club and feel almost English when I stay at the RAC.

We enjoyed the buffet lunch at the long bar. A very good choice of hot and cold dishes including sea food, cold meats and fish. Helpful service and pleasant ambiance. Also nice and cool on a hot day.

Nos alojamos aquí como una ráfaga de un miembro sólo puede visitar como huésped. Es como estar en finca de alguien grande país. Las habitaciones son lujosas, sobre todo la cama y las almohadas, y amuebladas en decadencia de estilo eduardiano. Hay pistas de tenis, una gran piscina, mesas de billar y un buen número de restaurantes. Se puede comer dentro o fuera si el tiempo es bueno y la comida que probamos eran tan buenas como en los mejores restaurantes. Es un lugar estupendo para relajarse o hacer ejercicio e incluso para el cansado hay un montón de paseos en los jardines fácil.

Прежде всего, это самый настоящий клуб с определнными правилами, например, когда вы за столом вы не можете говорить по мобильному телефону и находится без пиджака. Попасть сюда можно только в сопровождение члена клуба. Атмосфера потрясающая: невероятно красивая обстановка, высоченные потолки, роскошная мебель. Еда и карта вин под стать заведению: меню небольшое, блюда были идеально приготовлены. Плюс великолепное образцовое обслуживание.

We were invited by friends for lunch. We dined here regularly over 20years ago ....... nice to see somethings do not change ......excellent food...... great service..... good wine list..... and the opportunity to eat on the terrace as the weather was perfect. The building is magnificent and harks to a bygone age..... very nostalgic for those who miss it! If you get the opportunity make it a dining destination!

We were invited to the lovely Club & had dinner in the cafe downstairs which was quite lively. The food was superb & not over-priced.

My godfather, who is a member, took me to The Great Gallery for lunch as an 18th birthday present. The decor is amazing, beautiful paintings, architecture and lots of luxurious gold! I had champagne, scallops to start, then this wonderful poached halibut for main, light and fresh. The dessert was the crowning glory though, macerated strawberries, olive oil cake and creamy truffles, so many textures and layers of flavour bursting together. I had the most wonderful time and am very grateful to my godfather; I hope he takes me back soon!

ここがトリップアドバイザーに登録されているとは今まで思っていなかったので、過去のことは書いていないが、実はここは何度も友人夫婦に招待されてきているところだ。毎回、素晴らしい時間とワインと料理と雰囲気を楽しんでいる場所だ。今回は、ロンドンで一緒に音楽会を何度も聞いたし、その友人宅にも週末は滞在させてもらったが、彼らが翌日旅立つことになっているので、一緒に合える最後の日に、コンサート終了後、タクシーでここに移動してきた。いつものように素晴らしい時間を過ごした。毎回料理も素晴らしいが、今回は初めてイングリッシュ・ワインを飲んだのは新鮮でよかった。バッカス種のワインを二本飲んだが、楽しめた。(New Hall Vineyyards Bacchus 2017)

Almuerzo en el restaurante bar brooklands. Menú de hoy bien. Tuve la ensalada de tomate y quizás el mejor pescado y patatas fritas que he tenido en el sur de Inglaterra. Peces muy ligero. Uno de mis socios tenía el mismo plato, el otro el filete.

This Club is a beacon of excellence, unstuffy and unpretentious but elegant and full of class at the same time. It manages to be both very British and very cosmopolitan at the same time.

Este es un maravilloso edificio conservado magníficamente por los fideicomisarios del RAC y el comedor era renovadas el año pasado, así que ahora es simplemente magnífico. El personal era amable y nos ayudó, pero logrado con tanto menú y carta de vinos. Comencé con salmón ahumado maravilloso forman, que tiene una textura y sabor único - esta empresa familiar de East London sigue superan todo rivales. Fue servido con alcaparras, crema fraiche y cebollas finamente picadas de acuerdo a su gusto. Este fue acompañado por una copa de excelente casa Chardonnay.

One of the benefits of coming to the proms is the opportunity to eat in one of the restaurants. Coda is the best of the main 3. Whilst the choice of dishes is not huge, it does not need to be. There i

Orders for us and other customers were not delivered and forgotten. Reminded the guy behind the counter of some missing items and he just laughed. Avoid.
