The Savoy Grill in City of London, Westminster

This was a second visit to the Savoy Grill in less than 3 months . Both times we had the Sundsy lunch and both times the meat quality was unacceptable as on both occasions there was a lot of gristle in all the meals. I would expect this quality in a lower graded establishment but not in this iconic restaurant owned by a world renowned chef. The service recieved was impeccable, but either this be the norm or we have just been unlucky on the food front. Dint think we will visit for a third time

Food was pretty good, portion sizes are pretty small for what you pay. Service was terrible, and the prices are pretty ridiculous. I loved the atmosphere of the dining room though.

For the price you'd expect a dining experience where the food would leave a positive impression. Instead I would say I left with the impression that Gordon Ramsay is just a common huckster. There is a reason this restaurant doesnt have michelin stars anymore. The espresso martini was good but after that there was really no positive on the meal. The souffle was unevenly salted, as if, the front half of the dish got salt and the back half didnt and its not the fish that im talking about in terms of salt levels as the waiter wanted to convince me in. The Beef Wellington was actually disappointing, I had trouble cutting it with a steak knife which isnt supposed to happen. Surprisingly the beef wellington from Boca in Cincinnati, OH is actually done better and also a few restaurants in Boston. Wouldnt be surpised if pubs in London do it much better and for a lower price. To put it lightly, Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington is overhyped and lacks taste, by far the most bland piece of meat I've eaten in London (no wonder everyone jokes about the british not having any spices in their food). The water is indeed 7.5 pounds which is ridiculous because tap would be fine but wasnt offered. Dessert was interesting but was way too sweet for my liking. I think the wrong choice was made to use white chocolate rather than dark chocolate on the shell of fruity cheese cake inside. Service was good, not sure why there were complaints. I will say, it is indeed chaos in the dining area, the wait staff seem to come to the tables way too often to top off water for people, never letting it get below 75% of the cup volume. They move with brisk pace across to tables and in general it wasnt a calm dining area. Part of fine dining is the attentiveness the staff gives you, but when it becomes too overbearing its a problem in my opinion and in this case it started to cross the line.

The oldest trick in the book the stuff come up to you what drink would you like would you like to have water yes please what would you like still or sparkling or other so we have sparkling it went to after we got the bill it was seven pound a bottle where two of them then the charas 50 odd pound service charge the food is not tomorrow liking when we all left we went back to Leicester and we ended up having an Indian food so take that Gordon Ramsay no one you can draw around in a Lamborghini

Food was excellent, no complains, the steak we both ordered were perfectly grilled and everything was on point. Maybe it is the fine dining concept, but I feel the atmosphere is a bit subdue and the staff didn't give me an overall "friendly" vibe. That could be just me. Despite so, I must say I am pleasantly surprised when asked for a cup of warm water, they freshly boiled a pot of it and had it served to our table. It is a nice gesture.

Had an amazing birthday dinner at Savoy Grill. Staff were very attentive especially Thierry who spoke to us for a while really made our night meeting him. Food was a cut above, delicious. We will definitely be back.

Dining at the Savoy Grill was an memorable experience, defined by exemplary service and meticulous attention to detail. The food was delicious, perfectly cooked, and presented beautifully. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the enjoyment of the evening, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It was a great choice for a night out, leaving us and our friends thoroughly impressed.

We had an amazing lunch at the savoy grill today and wow what an awesome restaurant this is . The staff were fantastic and the food was the best we've ever had. Thank you all for the most amazing lunch . We will be back again soon

Such a fantastic visit and experience. I love Gordon! Having read his autobiographies the experience is just as he describes. From initial contact in booking to leaving the restaurant the experience lives up to expectations. Staff are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and attentive but not in a bad way. The atmosphere is calm and enjoyable. Food and wine beyond expectations. Looking forward to coming back ❤️

Exceptional service and delicious food! Highly recommend! My husband and I shared the cote de boeuf as well as the yellowtail crudo. Definitely will be returning when we come back.

I really don’t know where to start! I thought I had walked back in time to the 70’s. I couldn’t get over sitting in a velvet sofa with a table pushed up to us, and our view was other diners behind tables, it was like being at a Concert, facing a stage of other diners. The food was passable but not perfect. Needs updating drastically, I struggled to find a meal of this century! I love Lobster Thermidor, but mines better….more tender….more tasty. Starter was good, frothy soufflé’ very strong of cheese, but well cooked. I just didn’t get the inflated prices at a less than inflated menu and setting. Staff were amazing, food was under par, seating is quite ridiculous for privacy. MAKEOVER desperate, update menu and I may return for £200 per person on our visit.

The Beef Wellington was phenomenal.

Incredible food and a wonderful atmosphere. The service was the best I have ever received in a restaurant. I am so glad I went here and will absolutely return!

Overall a good experience. Way over priced though Greta, our server. The greatest ever!!!! It’s worth doing once .

It was a very enjoyable experience with my daughter today. Everyone was absolutely kind and wonderful. Great experience.

Great ambience and service. A bit pricey, but worth it to try it at least once.

We had a beautiful afternoon tea at the Savoy. The food and drink was outstanding, service from Dermott was first class and we felt truly spoiled. It was the best day ever!!

Dining at the Savoy Grill is a special experience for a special event, particularly when it's at the Chefs Table. The Chefs table is a great private dining experience where we were able to taste food from Gordon Ramseys menu. We were served by our very own waiter & wine steward/waiter. I highly recommend the Côte De Boeuf (pictured), medium rare. The wine suggested and selected complimented the meal. I highly recommend the Grill whether in the restaurant or at the Chefs table.

Everything about the experience was 100% perfect. All staff, facilities, food and levels of service were outstanding. We had the time of our lives & can’t wait to go back again!

Service friendly but rushed. Sandwiches bland and uninspiring. Plates cleared, the bill brought and credit card machine presented to me before we had even finished eating. After exactly 90 minutes we were told to vacate our table as they wanted it back. I do not expect that when paying £230 for two. There are better and more luxurious afternoon tea experiences out there - choose one of those instead!

This was our first afternoon tea in London. We were seated at a wonderful table and Emma was there almost immediately. She explained the menu well and offered to help us with making a tea choice. The food and tea were delicious. We loved the chicken salad and cucumber sandwiches and all of the scones and desserts. My husband especially loved the jam.

Loved the experience and the staff made it extra special. Food was really nice too.

When you’re by yourself and they seat you by the entrance with families and parties walking right past me and staff walking around me to get to other people, it made me want to leave quickly as I felt very out of place. So, I won’t be returning. The tea was good, the sandwiches were okay but the “ experience” was disappointing.

Came here for a 5 year anniversary dinner with my boyfriend and spent the whole dinner being starred at like a zoo animal, the other customer was sitting at the table next to us and was clearly talking about us to the rest of his party who also was staring at us. Not a place for the gays. Their solution was to write us a card telling us to have a happy anniversary, and ask us to move tables. They tried offered free dessert but I made it clear I wasn’t interested in dessert but they gave it to us anyway so we left it there. I had been waiting for 3 years to go to this restaurant ever since becoming a huge Gordon Ramsey fan.

Went for my birthday, they made the experience very special. I was 15 minutes late and called ahead and they held my table for an extra 15, so they were very accommodating. The servers were attentive and have exceptional training. A drink I wasn’t a fan of was comped and another suggested and remade. The food was to die for. And they bought out a lovely signed card and chocolate mouse at the end. Definitely an experience I’d love to have again.

A very special experience for a special birthday. The food and the service was excellent. Our waitress Emma was excellent and really looked after us.

Setting, service and the ambiance were stunning however some elements of the food provided were more experimental than we were expecting and not to our taste. Also was not aware of the 15% mandatory Service Charge.

Fabulous afternoon. Superb service. Thanks for making us all feel special.

Having experienced Afternoon Tea at the Ritz and Claridge's, we were looking forward to the experience at the Savoy with high expectations. Sadly, the reality did not live up to them. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, but the food was a little disappointing. The sandwiches were slightly dry on the edges, and not all as delicious as one might expect in an establishment like Savoy., the egg one was particularly bland. The mini pastries were tasty, but lacked the refine touch, which again we were expecting. Overall, for the price we paid, the experience did not leave us fully satisfied.

I booked a table for afternoon tea for two, to celebrate a special birthday. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you, the food was delicious and the setting was beautiful. The pianist added an extra special touch.

Expensive treat that doesn't disapoint

tbh... i am not sure about beef wellington too heavy and greasy. the dessert was bad. appetizer was only good one. The service wasn't that good as well.

Beautiful afternoon tea in the Savoy, service, food & presentation, all excellent, and quite filling.

Always wanted to go to the Savoy Grill and glad I now have. My honest opinion is that it's overrated and certainly over-priced. I reckon it's living on past glories. We were served by 6/7 different people, whereas I prefer ONE person to take responsibility for looking after us - with so many staff no one takes overall responsibility or ownership of the task. Our drinks person forgot our drinks on several occasions and when we reminded her, she brought our drinks one at a time rather than together. Overall, there were far too many staff flying about all over the place and this was annoying and distracting and I didn't appreciate the jazz music (😒) blaring in my ear. The meal was delicious (beef Wellington and halibut) and atmosphere convivial (apart from aforementioned army of staff), but I wouldn't rush to go back.

Wonderful from start to finish. Great food and service. Just make sure you check the bill as slight error. But soon rectified. Excellent day at the savoy.

Our first visit to The Savoy, we absolutely loved it, the staff were amazing- polite, knowledgeable and patient, all chatty and friendly. Food and ambience including the piano playing added to a fabulous experience. Thank you.

Excellent afternoon tea in beautiful surroundings. Sai gave us wonderful attention and kept us topped up. 5 stars except it cost £200 so I cannot say it was 5 star value. If money is no object then it is wonderful.

The afternoon tea was exceptional, and I really appreciated the gluten and dairy free variety of foods. Timothy was an outstanding young man and gave us first class service and attended to our every needs. Thank you Savoy!

Excellent service and lovely atmosphere! The presentation was very good but the taste of sandwiches and pastries were not as good. The live piano play was great too.

Amazing!! We had the best time celebrating my mum’s birthday. Our waitress Emma who is training and only been there a few days is amazing. Her knowledge already is incredible and she has the biggest smile and the friendliest manner. She helped make our experience one to remember. 10/10!

Lovely Afternoon Tea for a friend’s milestone birthday. Sandwiches were good as were the cakes although I didn’t feel the service was as good as last time I visited. There were a few times I had to serve myself additional tea and items weren’t necessarily replenished as they had been. We also felt a bit rushed towards the end as the table was needed for the next guests. At £225 with a glass of fizz it wasn’t cheap and I didn’t think it was good value for money.

This was our first time for afternoon tea at the savoy the food was delicious and the staff very professional and would love to go back one day.

The cakes and scones were my favourite, while my wife loved the sandwiches. I'll definitely be returning, probably on a quarterly basis.

I went to Savoy Grill with my partner tonight. We ordered the bone-in ribeye as well as the apple tart, two items and we spent £190 in total. Overall, it’s a pleasant experience, the surprise was the apple tart, it’s extremely delicious, but the ribeye is way overpriced. The bone-in ribeye itself costs £140 before service charge and it’s very average. I must say, to be honest, they have done a pretty decent job on a British steak, but for this price tag, I think it has to be at least USDA Prime quality.

Fantastic from start to finish , front of house really engaged with customers

Impeccable service and fantastic traditional afternoon tea, all you would expect from The Savoy

We went for an afternoon tea for Mothers Day and were not disappointed. All the staff were amazing beginning with the reception team Charlie and Jessica who were lovely and so welcoming, to our delightful waitress Anastasia. The food was extremely tasty and beautifully presented and there was an extensive range of teas, coffees and alcholholic drinks to choose from. I would highly recommend the Savoys Thames Foyer afternoon tea. The setting and ambience is relaxing and the staff are amazing. Thankyou for the wonderful experience

Absolutely a very enjoyable afternoon tea , service exceptional from the moment we walked in. Many thanks

First time at Savoy and it didn’t disappoint, the afternoon tea was delicious, sandwiches were lovely and fresh and you could have more if you wanted to, but one round was filling enough. 1pm was a good sitting time as didn’t, need nothing else the rest of the day that’s how filling it is. Cakes were delicious and the lemon curd was delicious with the scones. Champagne was nice. A lovely atmosphere with a Peronist in background. Service was great no complaints and everything was explained well with the food by our waiter. Highly recommended for a special treat.

Over £450 for afternoon tea four people was unreasonable. Sandwiches were very ordinary, deserts were good but not great and cold scones was disappointing. Large range of tea which was delicious. Service was good but at 15% again very expensive

This is the third time we have had afternoon tea at the Savoy; we have never been disappointed. Excellent ambience, excellent service, excellent food. We will be back.

We had an excellent experience at afternoon tea. I have several dietary restrictions which can be challenging…culinary staff did a great job of providing lovely and tasty tea treats I could eat that were not too much different from my husbands regular menu. We were made to feel very welcome and look forward to returning

Be aware of 20% service charge automatically added to your bill which then also has VAT added!

My time at the savoy for the second time was amazing staff were lovely thank you

The service throughout was excellant and the staff very friendly.Would certainly recommend the afternoon tea.

Having been to the Savoy afternoon tea before several years ago where the cakes were excellent I was very disappointed with the cakes on offer this time. I had arranged this tea for my visitors from overseas on the promise of the excellence last time . The Sandwiches and savoury bites were good. My guests questioned if the scones were shop bought and as for the cakes they were very ordinary. The only one we all enjoyed was the chocolate cube, the choux buns were too sharp with a horrible aftertaste. The other two were bland and boring. This is such a shame and embarrassing for me as I had raved about it before. Maybe I should have gone for the Ritz instead. I’ve had better cakes at lesser venues!

Great service, hugely friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. The whole experience was delightful

It’s a great afternoon and beautiful surroundings and the service was excellent. However, I have to say that the quantity of food was quite poor. I have been to the Savoy for afternoon tea many times and I don’t ever remember there being such a limited amount of food, the table felt very empty and felt quite uncomfortable when we asked for more sandwiches to pick a couple that we liked the best. I have loved coming here over the years but I don’t think I would again now it’s very different to what it was in terms of the amount of food served.

This was our second visit to Thames Foyer and we expected it to be the highlight of our trip as it was a number of years ago. We were so disappointed! The quality and selection of tea sandwiches was very poor. The service was spotty and we transitioned servers mid-meal. The pianist was the highlight of this visit; the music and the ambience were both lovely. We experienced high tea at two other locations, both were superior and surprisingly less expensive! We would not recommend this experience.

Absolutely wonderful. Excellent afternoon tea (including gluten free option). Very attentive and friendly staff. Thank you!

As usual the teat time at the Savoy is amazing, service food atmosphere everything is just stunning. Thank you to Mangesh our waiter he really made us feel exceptional!

The one thing we HAD to do when we visited London was have high tea. Our experience at the savoy was absolutely wonderful, service and food were both exceptional. Thank you for such a lovely dining experience.

Classic afternoon tea in a beautiful setting! We enjoyed every minute!

My cousin and I dined here yesterday for a late afternoon/early evening sitting before heading off to see the award-winning 'For Black Boys...' performance at the Garrick Theatre. To start, I had The Churchill cocktail which was well mixed and tasted really nice. For my starter, I enjoyed the Duck and Chicken liver parfeit which was delightfully rich and full of flavour accompanied by fresh brioche slices. For my main, I had the Beef Wellington - it is one of the best dishes I have had! The meat was tender and delicious especially eating it with a side order of creamed spinach. My cousin had the soufflé for her starter and half a lobster for her main with seasoned fries and long stemmed Broccoli. We were both so full after our main course and cocktails - having a dessert would have been prompted by greed, so we declined having dessert. Overall, our waiter Keith was warm, welcoming and attentive. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant had a gentle buzz of conversation and laughter. Overall we had a really lovely time. Thoroughly recommend dining here!

Wonderful, reasonable price, excellent service: polite, but not overly formal. Food: one of the best culinary experiences I have had in london.

First time trying the Savoy. Had a fantastic experience celebrating a milestone birthday. Service was great and food was fantastic.

Superb food and service from Niko. Recommended the beef wellington and Fillet steak.

Had afternoon tea yesterday in the Thames Foyer celebrating my birthday and it was delicious. The service was amazing and they catered for my dietary requirements. The staff were very accommodating. Thank you.

Not impressed with the menu. Not much to choose from. Minute portions. Dissapointed.

My brother has always wanted to go to the Savoy so for his 70th birthday. I booked afternoon tea for myself, my brother and his wife. The one thing about the Savoy that is outstanding is their staff from the Dorman to the lady that took our coats, they were all exceptionally present and very professional, this is the one thing that really stood out. Our table was booked for 3:15 pm and we had to leave by 4:45 pm. Unfortunately the table wasn’t ready at 3:15 and we got to our table round about 325. The lady that took her order was lovely and very professional. However she did have to go and have a meeting with her manager so we ended up having someone else service us for majority of the experience. Our sandwiches arrived probably about five minutes prior to the tea arriving that was not very good as we had the sandwiches waiting in front of us but nothing to drink. We asked for an extra selection of sandwiches afterwards because they were not exactly substantial, and that was not a problem When our cakes arrived, they were good The scones were not as hot as they could’ve been, but they were delicious. We couldn’t eat all the cakes so we got a doggy bag to take away which was a nice treat. During the afternoon tea, my brother received a very small slither of cake with a candle in it which is a nice touch but really the size of the cake was laughable the cost including service for just the afternoon tea no alcohol was £276 for three of us. This is more than you will pay at the Ritz. All in all my brother loved the experience, so that means it’s worth it, but would I do it again, probably not

As always afternoon tea at The Savoy was outstanding. Great service, food fabulous, setting beautiful. Never get tired of it.

Booked afternoon tea for me and my wife as it was her 50th birthday and was absolutely blown away by everything the staff as soon as you walk in and how friendly they were. Nothing was to much trouble and all walked around with a smile on there face, everything we were given to eat was explained what it was. Will be coming again

This is my favourite place to eat! Took my partner for her birthday.. staff were great food was amazing the whole night was perfect! Low set lights and calming music.. great wine and champagne! We will be back again soon enough.. steak is really good lobster also! Get down here and try it! You will not be disappointed !!

Very good food & service but, for the price, it s not mind-blowing.

What a special afternoon spent at the Thames Foyer for our wedding anniversary. We had such a warm welcome and were made to feel so comfortable and relaxed. Our server was just so lovely and couldn’t have been more attentive- I loved her recommendations for the tea selection and suggestion to try one of the chocolate patisseries with some of the lemon curd (great shout- it was delicious!). It goes without saying that the afternoon tea was absolutely perfect, complimented beautifully with the pianist playing throughout. We finished off our celebrations with a trip to the Savoy Theatre to see the matinee showing of Plaza Suite which is just across from the main lobby. A real treat of a day that we’ll remember forever.

Afternoon Tea in the Elegant Thames Foyer was a lavish experience. Delectable food with impeccable service.

Afternoon Tea in the Thames Foyer exceeded all my expectations. The staff were attentive but unobtrusive and enhanced my birthday experience with a complimentary pastry and a rendition of Happy Birthday on the piano. The food was sublime and it was a magical experience from start to finish.

That steak was incredible. When you add the steak, the mashed potatoes and Bernese sauce. Put them all onto one bite from your fork. It has to be one of my top three favorite things to eat in the world. I highly recommend you make a reservation and dine here. Thank you Savoy Grill, I will be back.

My mum and I visited the Savoy for afternoon tea and it was incredible. The service was impeccable and particular praise for Anna. Outstanding food, especially the egg sandwiches with Dijon mustard and herb oil - so delicious.

Fantastic afternoon tea, lovely atmosphere. Antonio our server couldn't do enough. Will defo be returning xx

The seatings are only for an hour snd 45 minutes which is disappointing, we were hurried out of our table. The sandwiches were excellent but the sweet pastries were inconsistent.

Thank you to the Foyer team for looking after us on my wife’s birthday, especially the true gluten free dairy free option that meant my wife ate the same as everyone else. The team made a fuss and we felt very special

The food was good and the service pleasant. Unfortunately, the total lack of ambience and a strong smell of fried food at the venue made us immediately regret our choice for afternoon tea before a ballet performance at the Royal Opera House.

Such a beautiful experience - the service was exceptional, the food was delicious, the ambiance was perfection!

What a fantastic high tea. Impeccable service, wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. This has to be the best in London (and I’ve tried many!)

Had a wonderful afternoon tea at The Savoy. All staff very welcoming and friendly. Anastasia was amazing and so attentive, looked after us so well. Food was wonderful and such a lovely atmosphere. Visited the American Bar for cocktails we were looked after very well by Issac. Drinks were great.

Our afternoon tea was absolutely amazing. Our server was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. She explained all our different options to us for tea and food. The food was delicious and the ambiance is breathtaking. Service was impeccable.

Wonderful food but felt rushed. The waitress told us twice,very politely that we needed to hurry up!

Fabulous vegan high tea, and served non alcoholic champagne to the non drinkers in our party. Nothing was too much trouble, offering us to choose a different tea for when our scones and cakes came.

Outstanding location for afternoon tea, service was outstanding, thank you Anna.

Afternoon Tea at The Savoy never disappoints. This was my fifth of many visitors to The Savoy. The staff are so attentive and Carina was a delight during our visit on Sunday. We didn’t need to ask for anything, she was very efficient, friendly, polite and professional.

Danny our waiter was amazing so helpful , great knowledge and great manner . Wonderful afternoon tea

Was amazing! They showed us around, they made a special cocktail for me that they no longer sell.

Very expensive but loved every minute creating memories

Not our first visit but definitely not our last. Food, service and ambience are all unbeatable. Highly recommend adding a glass of bubbly - just adds that final touch. Birthdays are marked with a little cake and a lovely message card. Classy and charming. Just lat them know when you book. Looking forward to next time already!!

Had my sisters 60th birthday at the savoy grill, Excellent beef wellington,great service and atmosphere x

Great, beautiful setting-only complaint is our tea was a bit slow to come out and it wasnt super hot but food and staff etc lovely

Lovely experience to treat someone with for a birthday or another special occasion. You get a good selection of sandwiches with an option to receive seconds, the cakes and scones are very good indeed, and there is a very wide range of teas to choose from. Lovely ambience in the foyer, with the piano playing under the glass cupola. It really is a very special place for afternoon tea. Definitely something to do once (especially if you're visiting London).

Excellent afternoon tea and service. A truly special treat for our anniversary. The food was delicious, waitress attentive and atmosphere was beautifully calm and relaxing. Highly recommend

The service was excellent from arrival to seating to Katerina pouring us endless cups of tea. Our favourite was the sandwiches and we opted for a few extra. The Champagne was chilled and delicious - the little cake treats were dainty. My only criticism was I don’t think the scones were amazing . They were very small and a little heavy and not light and fluffy as I like them - the jam and cream was delicious and did eat them never the less -we hope to come back for a special occasion
