In the midst of the craziness of Leicester Square, The Londoner is a seriously cool spot. First class meeting rooms and service. The lunch in Whitcomb's was the highlight of the day though. We went for the 2 course express lunch and it was absolutely delicious. Restaurant team were efficient, knowledgeable and warm. Highly recommend.

The food here is fantastic. A special shoutout to the chef for the pan fried sea bass - it was cooked to perfection and incredibly delicious. It was most certainly the best sea bass I had ever eaten. Very attentive and friendly service as well.

I decided to try here on a Sunday night: the room very much seems like it is just a corner room of a hotel but the food and service were great;only had two courses (snails with nduja butter followed by pan fried sea bass with chips (which were infinitely better than the average chip served in restaurants these days) but both were very good. Service was also excellent: I doubt I will ever stay at The Londoner but if I’m looking for something to eat in this area, id definitely think about going back here.

I am addressing those who intend to book through TheFork taking advantage of the discount by exchanging Yums. Stay away as these scammers because of they canceled my reservation, with only two hours notice, with a simple email and not via The Fork app. This is to avoid any sanctions, but I have already taken steps to report their incorrect behavior.

This is my second time and I'm really impressed with all Aspects. Very comfortable seating. Airy attractive room, lighting just right and you can hear yourself and your guests speak. Amazing service. Clever mouth watering menu with creative quirks that work seamlessly I tasted everyone's dishes and all were Absolutely delicious. My only aside is that the chef needs to lighten up on the amount of salt used and some of the desserts are a bit too fussy. The crumble though was stunning. If you're seeing a play or movie in the area this is a must for before or after meal. 🌻🪷

Worst dining experience so far. We booked a table for Valentine's Day, and it was the worst possible choice, we really regretted it. Terrible service with an unpleasant hostess who was serving at the same time. We certainly arrived a few minutes late (impossible to contact them to notify them because they don't answer the phone) but not a smile, no friendliness. We were then seated at a table next to each other without any privacy and all this in a dark atmosphere as the light barely illuminated our tables. Then comes the meal... a starter and then a 1.5 hour wait to get what's next, our table neighbors had the same experience and had to stay in this restaurant for 3 hours in order to get through their endless evening, Other neighbors even left without having eaten because the wait was so long. Understaffed, the evening team was constantly in a rush and had the luxury of being unpleasant. We left this dinner frustrated before dessert because there was concrete abuse there. For this price we expect at least a minimum of consideration. Food was just ok. Thank you all the same to Louise who took over the service and who was the most professional and friendly during this long evening. To avoid, we are also very surprised by the number of positive reviews.

To start, let me be clear the food here is good and what you'd expect for the price. Unfortunately there are many other places within walking distance where the food is good, and at those you will get a matching level of good service. The service here really let it down. We had most our courses come out whilst our dirty dishes were still on our table. The waiter with the tray of food would stand around waiting for another waiter to come over, remove the dirty dishes and then find new sets of cutlery. The whole time we can see our food standing next to the table. The waiters predominantly spoke on whispers making it extremely hard to hear them. Lastly when the bill came the waiter asked if we wanted a card machine and said he would be right back with it. Around 15 minutes later with no sight of our waiter we had to flag down another one to pay. This is already after having to flag down someone to bring the bill, which was not easy given how rarely it felt like a waiter was anywhere close to the table. Unfortunately, the food here although good is nothing to shout about compared to the rest of the good food in London and I won't be going back considering the other experiences I can get at a similar price point.

This is a nice restaurant away from the hussle and bussle that is Leicester Square. The service was fine although a little intrusive at times as was the background music. Our starters were a bit bland and overpriced (e.g. £7 for small basket of bread). Likewise our mains were quite small but were very well executed and actually very tasty indeed. Overall, it's a reasonable place to dine if you are in the area but there's definitely room for improvement.

I also loved that we were able to get in and out in about 90 minutes while having an amazing, high quality meal with excellent service. A true rarity.

The experience in overall was great. Definitely recommend for a night out with your mates. The atmosphere is very nice and trendy. The food was good: the risotto was buttery and you could taste the truffle (compared to other restaurants), the tortellini were surprising with a mix of oil and acid touches. In general, great textures and a good combination of flavors but some dishes were not worth the price. The service was a bit slow (waited for more than 40minutes to get the main dish after the starters).

Bien situado, en la planta baja del hotel. Ambiente acogedor con decoración moderna en tonos oscuros . Hicimos reserva el día anterior , pero a pesar de ello, nos hicieron esperar 45 min, y con las bebidas servidas pretendieron cambiarnos a otra mesa más pequeña para acomodar a otros comensales. No fuimos capaces de entender la mala gestión ni el descaro y la falta de respeto hacia nosotros, imperdonable, y peor si no se atreven a hacerlo con otros clientes. Pretendieron compensarlo con unas copas de champán y dulces. ( es decir, reconocen que lo hicieron muy mal) Sin cervezas nacionales (otro fallo para un restaurante que vende lujo y categoría) La comida bien emplazada pero escasa. Defraudados.

This restaurant is situated inside the Londoner Hotel, for me the most beautiful boutique hotel that I found in London. The staff is very well knowledge, and service is very attentive. The food was well presented and full of flavour. Cocktails are very simple presented and very tested. Dessert is to die for, just explosion of flavour in your mouth from the start to the end. I very recommend it, is a good culinary experience.

A surprisingly great experience, the food is so well done that I can't criticise it. I usually can about these things. Ingredients were great, everything was fresh and it was mixed together to subtle perfection of the way the ingredients balance each other and where cleverly done. The food was even better than I expected, even with the high ratings on here. The service was so friendly and they genuinely did everything they could to be kind and helpful. It's a bit of a ghost town on a Sunday evenings so I can't recommend it for that, but I'm guessing it's busy at other times.

Breakfast at Whitcomb’s was a perfect way to begin every day in London. Every morning began with a friendly greeting by Olivier, and the entire staff provided a warm welcome and impeccable service. The buffet was far above any typical hotel buffet. It was comprised of fresh pressed juices, French pastries, charcuterie, French yogurts, tropical fruits, and more. Then there were the hot entrees, also included. Even the simple scrambled eggs were extraordinarily delicious. The eggs Benedict had a lightly truffled Hollandaise. And the coffees were exactly as ordered. The perfect start to any day is at Whitcombs! A gem of a place.

We discovered this restaurant a year ago and it’s become by far our favourite restaurant in London. It’s just a 10/10 in every aspect you can think of. The place is very elegant and the atmosphere is something else (especially when there’s the pianist playing and singing live). The service is absolutely outstanding, they take care of every single detail and waiters are very well trained on fine dining service (special mention to Ripon who was our waiter last time and he was the absolute best and kindest! And to Olivier, the lunch manager who we met towards the end of our lunch). And food is just out of this world, you can pick any dish from the menu and you won’t go wrong but I can’t recommend enough the mushroom risotto, the filet mignon and their layered potato fries. Also, they used to serve some bread with chicken butter that was absolutely amazing! Unfortunately they don’t serve it anymore but we hope they add it to the menu!

Difficult to understand the positive reviews for this place. The food was distinctly underwhelming - small portions and very ordinary ingredients. I left hungry. However the worst aspect was the service which, though friendly, was hopelessly incompetent (15% surcharge notwithstanding). For example, we were asked to order desserts immediately, together with our starters and mainsz and the server was surprised when I asked if we could order them later instead. We then had to order them before our mains were cleared away. Drinks took ages to arrive, sparkling water was brought instead of still (both at £6.30 with service), the wine list is only an approximation of what is actually available, and the wine was served much too warm. All small issues in themselves but there was a general strong impression that the staff simply had no idea what they were doing, which made the while experience much less enjoyable and relaxing than it should have been. We regularly eat in leading London restaurants and sadly this one gets things badly wrong. We will certainly not return.

My friend had as main the canneloni, frankly it was too thick but when we explained the issue. The team offered the exchange for anything but she was already full so they offered a huge portion of the beignets dessert (free of charge of course) and deduced her main.

The restaurant is lovely, decor and interactions with Brian our server were fantastic, a wonderful guy. However our two vegan guests who ordered from the vegetarian menu were served risotto with cheese on it even though the menu didn’t have it on it. This meant they didn’t have their food whilst the other guests ate. Missing items were not served. And audaciously after the meal was cleared the missing items were presented as if they would be received without their accompanying dishes without complaint. The food is great but the coordination expected from a restaurant was noticeably lacking. With competition on their doorstep offering equal fare Whitcomb’s lack or organisation will leave it out in the cold.

I chose the Whitcombes for special occasion and I really loved the warming atmosphere. The service and staff are Phenomenal! ( Bryan was serving us he is 10/10) About the food it was ok, we tried sea bass and Filet Mignon with frites & Epinards aux noisettes. As for us we find the sauce is too much, because of it we couldn’t be able to finish and enjoy our food ( I would say it’s better to serve it on the side and let the customers decide how much to add ) plus we think the chef want to give us hypernatremia😂😂😂 even the dessert have a seasalt on it 😅 but as it was a special day for us we don’t want anything to spoil our day so we chose to leave smiling 😊 Above everything I’ve never been happy about the 15% service charge I paid wherever but this place…they deserve it.

Be careful when ordering drinks at this place. I asked for a glass of wine and they brought out one about 4 times the size of my friend. It was extremely poor form. I don't mind paying for quality and I tend to keep going back to good places, but I won't be going back to Whitcomb's and you shouldn't either.

Dinner at Whitcomb’s after theatre visit. Now I can honestly say that I have never been disappointed with a meal at any of the Edwardian restaurants that I’ve been lucky enough to visit and Whitcomb’s is no exception. Delicious food and given this is a...

I must first admit that while I am no great connoisseur of fine restaurants, I've have had the privilege of eating at a number of pleasant places. Unfortunately I would not rank this place amongst those places. There are a few reasons for this which I will discuss below. First we begin with the ordering process, our waiter appeared unable to note down what it is that we had actually ordered with multiple visits back to check that our guest who had ordered a mushroom risotto had in-fact ordered the mushroom risotto (which eventually came out as a chicken risotto (?)). Further there was the issue of the virgin mojito, not on the menu but one may guess an easy enough concoction for a trained bartender to create, unfortunately out waiter again steps in to tell us that this is not possible for our halal guest, but then shortly after this information this unobtainable drinks appears. Eventually after what I might quantify as a long wait our food arrives, and it seems to have spend enough time under a heat lamp to develop a film over it. Further the lobster rigatoni has had enough butter placed into its sauce that it is breaking and fat is beginning to pool on the surface (note: I both understand and enjoy the typical content of butter in a french dish, this was above and beyond what I personally consider to be typical). After finishing our meal, and a short mishap of a sommelier attempting to deliver wine which was not ours we began our arduous task of requesting the bill, which took longer than expected to arrive. In conclusion, I rate this experience rather poorly because of the quality of the food, the ability of the waitstaff, and the myriad of mistakes that were made. I had great hopes for this restaurant, and for the hotel as a whole, which I hope some day can be met. Until then, I would recommend the wise review reader to stay away from Whitcomb's at The Londoner.

Food was good but portions were a joke. Chicken main was served literally only chicken, no side, no veg just a few wings and it cost over £30. Same sea bass, was served only fish with sauce...

Great food and nice staff but pretty dodgy process for dealing with classic cocktail requests. Happy to make things but not very transparent about prices; charge you £16 for the cocktail THEN add on for ‘special ingredients’ I didn’t ask for. When I queried their answer was unhelpful. Adding £5 for rum on to a £16 cocktail, when the main ingredient is rum, makes no sense! What is the £16 for then?!

What a perfect night. Everything was a 10, the waiters, the service, the food and even the restrooms. This is now my place to go to when in London. If you want to experience a perfect night, Whitcomb's is it. Love the fact that they serve non alcoholic wine in the same manner as the regular wine. Great with details. Loved loved loved it.

Service was excellent, attentive and friendly staff. Risottos were slightly salty but staters and dessert were scrumptious! , spotless and classy place. Highly recommended

Whitcomb’s experience is lovely, within an amazing hotel and such great service. I would say that the food is nice, for the price it is a little disproportionate and in central London you could spend a little more / less for something maybe more? This isn’t to say that Whitcombs is not good, it has a good atmosphere, good food and service. The walk to the toilets is a bit of a trek so maybe not heels! Presentation of the deserts was beautiful. Also accommodating to Gluten free : vegetarian

Really good food, service was not so good, started well, went downhill after our mains came. No extra offer of drinks and had to ask for the dessert menu twice, then twice again for the bill, which took the shine off the nice food.

Our Christmas dinner at Whitcomb's could not have been better. The Filet Migon was delicious, but what stole the show for us was the duck. Perfectly cooled duck with a delicious sauce accompanying it.
