We booked to come to Wild Honey St James as a last minute reservation having extended our stay in London by a night. We booked it the night before which in itself was a surprise as trying to book a Michelin star restaurant on a Friday night with no notice seemed a bit far fetched but there was availability so we booked. We had the 3 course tasting menu that gave us approximately 4 choices for starter, main and dessert with complimentary champagne and the usual extras one would expect in a Michelin restaurant. The food was beautiful and plentiful after 3 courses we nearly had to be rolled out! We didn’t have a wine flight as I am pregnant but the staff were so attentive and made sure things were slightly adapted as a result. We have been to many Michelin star restaurants and this felt like the most relaxed with a wonderful atmosphere and background music that added to the ‘buzz’. It was a perfect casual Michelin experience which was exactly what we were looking for and for £95pp for a 3 course it was exceptional value for money. The staff were wonderful and attentive but not overbearing, and we honestly have nothing bad to say about our experience. We both came away feeling like we stumbled on this gem and would recommend to anyone.

Obviously as it is in St James, has a Michelin star and is expensive it should be excellent, but often places like this are pretentious and not as good as they think they are. No pretentiousness here. Excellent food, great service, fair pricing and a busy relaxed atmosphere. The “Business Lunch” is particularly good value. Recommended.

Very classy layout yet relaxed atmosphere. We only came in for a drink at the bar but Roman offered such welcoming service that we stayed for 3 more. Great recommendations and excellently crafted cocktails tailored to our preferences. Thank you for a wonderfully entertaining evening Roman.

Ok, so lets get the calamitous wine service experience out of the way first - a poor effort for a Michelin standard establishment, down to failure by the waiter and restaurant manager. Otherwise a 5 for everything else - superb food with an emphasis on British produce, very enjoyable. Also the young French waiter who "came to the rescue"; talented.

We booked dinner at Wild Honey recently as part of my wife’s birthday weekend. The restaurant is very conveniently placed, a few minutes from Piccadilly Circus. It is part of Sofitel London St James hotel, although can be entered separately. The staff and atmosphere were both very friendly but informal. The menu is based on a fixed price for three courses. There were the usual choices on the menu, all beautifully executed. The dishes were just the right size to enjoy three courses without feeling uncomfortably full. The service was exceptionally fast - unusually so for a Michelin star restaurant. Despite being a Saturday, they did seem quiet. Although they did cater for a gluten free diet, I was slightly disappointed that only one or two options were suitable for each course. The wine choice was good & reasonably priced. We were also offered a complimentary extra desert for my wife’s birthday, which was a nice touch.

Went for the pre theatre menu which was great food and wonderful value. However timings ended up tricky - despite telling them when we needed to leave to make our theatre booking the meal was served very slowly and dessert was served (after chasing) 5 minutes before we had to leave and was left largely untouched

1. Three people took turns taking the first drink order, but the signatures weren't correct and the carbonated water I initially ordered didn't even come out. When I looked at the bill later, it was included in the price, which was very absurd. 2. I made a reservation a few days ago, but something came up during the meal, so I asked to be moved, but the flow of the meal was interrupted, and I wondered if this was basic restaurant manners. 3. I ordered a half bottle of white wine and my glass was empty, but none of the staff knew or cared. I sat there for a while and asked to fill it up, and only then did they give it to me. I thought it would be really easy to pay my own money and eat properly. 4. The food was delicious, the wine and cocktails went well together, and the staff were very friendly and nice. However, the price of drinks that were not served even when I ordered them was included, and I was quite disappointed, perhaps because I had high expectations, but I wonder if a Michelin-starred restaurant can only be of this standard. no see.

The a la carte options were great -- the Sutton Hoo chicken that was featured was a true highlight, while the Wild Honey ice cream also stood out! The service was also phenomenal across the board. When he heard I was celebrating an engagement, the chef personally came to congratulate us, and then proceeding to go above and beyond, spending 15 minutes chatting with us about football and offering food recommendations in the next place we were staying on our trip. Truly a lovely meal, made even more special by Anthony. Highly recommend.

What a pathetic odd place. A Michelin starred restaurant in a 5* deluxe London hotel. Joke incredibly slow service, really average menu and disappointing food - after a very long wait. Literally no interest in sorting any allergies or being remotely accommodating. Appalling options. The restaurant was dead on a Sunday afternoon - now we know why. Don’t waste your time or money here - just no need to wish the choice in the local area.

We were looking for a good fine dining option near trafalgar square and wild honey didnt disappoint. Good variety on the 95 GBP menu- starting from the pea amuse, through great agnolotti with courgette, quail many ways and pigeon. Great cheese selection and chocolate soup a winner (not too sweet). Nice to have English sparkling on the menu and good carafe selection of red wines.

From the moment we arrived at Wild Honey, we were warmly welcomed by the professional and attentive staff. Their kindness created a friendly atmosphere and made us feel at ease. The service throughout the meal was impeccable, with particular attention paid to our needs. Enchanted Menu We opted for the menu option, and it was a culinary delight. The flavors and tastes magnified our taste buds. Each dish was a discovery, with daring combinations and quality ingredients. The dishes were presented elegantly, adding to the viewing experience. Sweet Surprise The icing on the cake (or rather the cupcake) was the finishing touch to celebrate a birthday. The complimentary cupcakes were delicious and added a sweet note to our evening. Conclusion Wild Honey is a place where you can enjoy yourself and feel privileged. If you are looking for an exceptional dining experience, I highly recommend booking a table here.

We were visiting London, and as we like to do when we travel, we decided to try a Michelin star restaurant. There were four of us, and two people at our table were vegetarian. The restaurant offers vegetarian options (one per category), but the “main” option was disappointing to say the least. Having been to these kinds of restaurants many times before, we realize that quantity is not the objective. But to charge £95 for a small appetizer, and then two spears of asparagus with a few mushrooms as the main course, is unreasonable. At this price, every morsel better be sumptuous, and it was not. Both the vegetarians described the main course as “fine”, which is certainly not what one would expect at a Michelin star restaurant. We have been to many restaurants worldwide that offer exceptional vegetarian meals, but sadly this was a miss for us. And an expensive one at that with a bill more than £600 for four (including 4 cocktails and a bottle of relatively inexpensive wine). I will say that the appetizer, which was also vegetarian, was delicious. They flew in tomatoes from Italy and you could taste the difference. The tomatoes were juicy and sweet and popped in your mouth. Combined with a creamy ricotta and a delightful tomato broth, the dish was subtle and perfectly balanced. The other two people at our table were pescatarians, and chose the fish option, which was much more reasonable in both quantity and flavour. I would describe the main dish as very good, but not something I’ll be thinking about for years. Maybe that’s an unreasonable standard, but that’s what I’d be hoping for at a restaurant like this. We have returned to Michelin star restaurants in the past with anticipation. I wouldn’t come back to this one. Unfortunately, nothing was memorable for us.

We had an spectacular lunch at Wild Honey for my girlfriend and I 6th year anniversary, the food had such depth and breadth of flavour in every course, I had the Rabbit which was amazing and I asked for a good wine pairing with my crab starter and the sommelier chose an amazing wine! All the staff were very friendly and helpful and they even brought out complimentary canelés for desert as well as allowing my girlfriend to choose one of the deserts from the set menu even though we hadn’t ordered the set menu which was amazing!

Enjoyed my first course:- fish soup. But After 1.30hrs my mouth is still stinging from the sauce added to the skate main course… ? Brown butter not sure.., the surface was very dark, I couldn’t taste butter and it’s was intensely flavoured. To me there was a flavour of soy sauce (this could be incorrect) but if not it was as similar. I can still taste it. Importantly the fish could have been tofu.. the sauce was so intense it overwhelmed the delicate flavour of my favourite fish. CH

I was there last year, gave it a 4 in my rating, and said I'd happily go back. And so I did for what turned out to be a wonderful evening: a delicious dinner and impeccable service. I think I may have fallen in love with their wine list. Unlike many high-end restaurants, they don't hand you a 100kg wine list so extensive that you feel overwhelmed. Instead, you get a wide yet not overwhelming selection of carefully curated wines. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Not good enough. First course of crab was inventive but toast was burnt. The crab mousse could have been lighter. The lamb served as rare was almost raw. The desert of chocolate mouse was a flat pancake so was definitely mis-represented although they brought a rhubarb pavlova to share as compensation. the wines were nice and the service helpful. Priced highly. This place has lost its shine.

We've been to Wild Honey several times over the years - in its former location and since it re-opened in the Sofitel; this was our third visit there and it did not disappoint. The three-course fixed price menu with enough choices for each course suits us fine, as we have gone off lengthy tasting menus elsewhere where the trend seems to be more and more courses and ever increasing prices. The Lady Orthopod started with beautifully presented and cooked asparagus and I opted for the smoked eel as I always do when I see it on a menu - delicious. We followed with lamb (TLO) and duck (me) - both precisely cooked and prettily presented. Now the TLO doesn't eat puds so we shared a plate of cheese and I opted for the custard tart which was every bit as nice as I had hoped. When ordering the tart I said that I had noticed rhubarb as another pudding option and wondered if I might just have a little taste of same alongside my tart. Nothing doing - our lovely waiter Lucas (if I remember correctly) brought me the said rhubarb pud in full, with a cheery 'enjoy'! Two puds were me! As well as eschewing the tasting menu approach (and well done for that!), WH serves decent portions given that it has a Michelin Star which you kind of worry leads to smallish plates of primped about loveliness. Here, however, the food was great and the portions decent - we couldn't fault our meal. We drank a couple of glasses of white Burgundy to start and a reasonably priced Beaujolais to follow. We had a lovely time and you can pay a LOT more than this for a starred meal in Central London. Can't wait to go back and try the newly-opened Bistro.

Enjoyed this place. Service was really good and the food was very good. The portions were a decent size considering that it's a Michelin star place. The only thing to question was the only choice of a set menu rather than an a la carte offering. But that's a small gripe considering that everything else was great. Overall I would recommend going here. Top place.

We had the set lunch and I could not fault the food at all. The starter of chicken was perfection followed by moist pork and a delicious tart with not a soggy bottom in sight. Service was attentive and it’s a beautiful location to eat in. But…charging £6 for a bottle of tepid soda stream water is criminal and it’s the first restaurant ever to add a 15% service charge. Stick with tap water!

I was disappointed by this restaurant which is a shame really. The decor is great and the table comfortable with a good ambiance. Some of our courses were excellent such as the Denbighshire lamb and the monkfish. I thoroughly enjoyed my English custard tart with a nice hint of nutmeg but the rhubarb pavlova was poor with little rhubarb flavour. The Dorset crab starter was bizarre and far too large. The salad of white meat was delicious, the toasted brioche sandwich of the brown meat tasty but enormous and the custard of the bisque very rich and, again, too much. A large starter on three separate dishes is intimidating and a small sandwich and a quenelle of custard on the salad plate would better suit. I didn’t like that the fixed price menu (£95) is not a balanced tasting menu because after the large rich crab starter I would have happily passed on a dessert- but of course it’s paid for! The service was friendly and pretty efficient but let down by serving occasionally leaning across our round table rather than walking around. It’s lazy and poor practice. We had a cheapish bottle of red wine (which was actually excellent for my palate) and a carafe of white but apparently it’s only expensive wine that deserves a decent fine glass! More attention to detail needed here to justify the Michelin star and the high prices in my opinion and I doubt I will return.

Wanted to enjoy it but TBH for a Michelin starred restaurant the reception is low rent, and whilst some of the food was good the sirloin (came with a supplement) had a vein of connective tissue running through it that rendered half inedible. It happens but no consideration was given by the service staff to make good.

Wild Honey serves up an unforgettable dining experience with food that easily ranks within the top 3 meals I've had in London, scoring an 11/10. From the appetizers to the desserts, each dish is crafted with care, making each meal truly special. However, the atmosphere could use a touch-up, as it feels more like a hotel breakfast room than the Michelin restaurant quality it embodies with its cuisine.

Perhaps I’m being picky, but I did not think that the whole meal was excellent. We had crab, the white meat salad was lovely, but the brioche sandwich of brown meat and accompanying custard of the bisque made the starter a bit heavy, even though it was all very tasty. The mains of Monkfish, and Lamb were as I would expect from a Michelin starred restaurant. The pudding that we had, Yorkshire rhubarb and pavlova, was poor. Dehydrated rhubarb is not my idea of fun: nothing can beat lightly poached pink rhubarb. The service was reasonable but could have been better; ie not leaning over a guest to serve another. The ambience of the restaurant was really good, but a restaurant like this should be better.

Oh dear, oh dear. I absolutely love nearly every restaurant I visit, and almost always give five stars. What happened? I booked WH at a day's notice for a really important and meaningful personal meeting. Went with my gut because the original Wild Honey in Mayfair was just so good! I should have known from the fact it's moved to a hotel, the totally open availability, the inflexible and slightly odd £95 menu and the £25 no-show charge (a crooked practice in my view) that this was one to avoid. My bad. We met in the bar. The service, the nuts and the cocktails were really good. At £18 a pop, they'd better be. Into the chamber of doom.. the huge dark room with no atmosphere where the guy on the desk ignores you, with the weirdest 80s music. Ushered to a smallish table rather close to others around the edge of the cavern. The crab starter was a bit strange. The "bisque" was more of a pate, cold, straight from the fridge and solid with a layer of fat on top. Was it supposed to have been warmed up and made liquid? Then you twig that all the dishes are pre-made and assembled to order from pre-prepared units, no skill required on the night, no manual decoration, and certainly no sign of the chef. My main course of venison was decent. My best man's rabbit was one of the strangest looking dishes I've seen in years.. a "slug" of vegetable matter in the centre with two cold wee roulades of the real meat. He said his food was so salty it was barely edible. The wine wasn't bad, although it's hard to find a decent bottle under £100. Dessert wasn't a real pavlova and wasn't in any way memorable. Final insult.. the bill for a basic meal came to nearly £450. That is absolutely horrific. You get FIVE star service for that! We had lackadaisical waiters and it was slightly too hard to catch an eye, pay the bill and escape. Final final insult.. I had an email from the manager a day later, except it was a mail merge with my name stuck in mismatched format, saying "here's an easy booking link for next time". I replied to say, well, thank you but the meal wasn't great. No answer! The best restaurants in London are very particular about personal service. This place.. couldn't care less. NEVER again!!

We said it was too much food and they told us we could take it home. Great ! When we asked to take it home, that rude staff person threw us, literally, a paper bag to the table.

Disregarding prices and Michelin Star reputation, focusing solely on the food—opted for a prefixed menu; my husband and I chose different menus to sample a variety. Regrettably, the meat was tough, the fish lacked flavor, and overall, the dishes suffered from a fundamental absence of a basic cooking ingredient—salt.

Expected a bit more from a place with a Michelin star. The food was nice, al a cart, so plenty of choice. However the service was a bit strange. Our starters arrived before we’d finished the snack. Then the deserts arrived all together, which made the table very full and a bit cramped. It felt a bit rushed. The portion sizes were a bit big and came on several plates, but the food was tasty and enjoyable. One point for the management, the diner next to my table said they had a nut allergy and was then served peanuts. Which was a bit worrying as the customer had declared it to the same waiter. I’d expect more care and attention to allergens following Natasha’s Law being passed.

Sadly we found the food average given the price point (and this was the pre theatre menu!). Glad we went as we had been wanting to go for a while but won’t come back. The venison was perfectly cooked and I didn’t think that was something I’d ever eat but it was very good. The fish was tiny and not particularly tasty. The wine menu by the glass didn’t have many choices unfortunately and those that were on it (we tried a few) weren’t great. The burrata was really plain. The service however, was impeccable and the ambience of the restaurant is special and really cosy.

We were very disappointed by the food which was surprising given the reviews and Michelin star. The atmosphere is lovely and the service was very good (although we had to wait 15 min for our table - nothing offered while we waited). They had run out of two options on the menu, one of which i had wanted to order, and also had no draft beer as the tap was broken for several days. The beef main had a significant amount of fat that had not been rendered down, and the side dish was too rich as an accompaniment. Very disappointing for a highly rated and expensive restaurant, we found it very hard to believe it had a Michelin star.

Starter was a little under seasoned Bararta and sardines.Sea bream was at best average skin was not crispy and stalk of a herb was left in dish I thought it was a bone from fish The rabbit was very good full of flavour the dessert was excellent. Waiter tried to take plate while other people were still eating I hate that when you go to a restaurant.The manager noticed the problem s and apologised offered a glass of dessert wine which was delicious overall left a bit underwhelmed

Food delicious and a decent wine list, but it’s really the service that warrants this place a star. Engaging and attentive in the most personable way. Our waiter Vicky has a talent for hospitality that can’t be taught - thank you so much for making a very special evening for my dad’s birthday!

We did the set menu prior to visiting the theatre, and it just wasn’t what I expected from a Michelin star restaurant. The appetizer was quite fatty and didn’t have much flavour beyond that. The main was good, but again, you just expect a lot more from a place like this. Personally, I wouldn’t go again

Fancy grown up cocktail bar. Really makes you feel special. The ice cubes are very fancy. Crystal clear, with their name in.

Vicky was an amazing server! She was able to recommend a set of courses and drinks that would all play nicely together. The ricotta gnudi with truffles is definitely worth the extra charge. If you go, definitely get a glass of their house-made vermouth!

Probably the best pre-theatre dining option in the area: 5-6.30pm. Impeccable service, food presentation and amazing value.

Decent food, very service focused (though inconsistent across tables and very.much focused on topping off the water as the success criterion)... Ok atmosphere... When you think about the Michelin star though, underwhelming.... Also perhaps they do this more for Americans, they include a significant tip and a pound for a charity.. it simply did not feel right. I was going to tip more than that anyway, but this practice left a bad taste..

The best place ever! I have a lot of dietary restrictions. I have travelled all over the world and it has been very disappointing that no matter where and how great of the restaurant, I end up with the vegetable from a steak plate or a mediocre risotto. Well, let me tell you, this was not the case at Wild Honey St James. The staff were amazing. Chef Anthony himself came to see me ensuring that he understood my restrictions and prepared an amazing one of the kind menu for me on the spot. Everything was well thought and well prepared. He even presented them to me himself. I cannot say enough, the experience was incredible! If you ever wanted a MICHELIN started resturant to try, this is definitely on top of the list. thank you chef Anthony for making our special occasion, even more special!

My Wife and I had a lovely evening at Wild Honey. The food was amazing - complement to the chef and the team in the kitchen - and just as important as the food in order to have a good time in a Restaurant is the service. Here Vicky and her colleagues did a wonderful job and ensured us an evening to remember. We will come back!

Thank you so much for the marvelous hospitality, exemplary service, and outstanding kindness you showed to me and my wife on our recent visit to London. The pleasure of meeting a passionate chef with such great respect for his ingredients, creativity, and understanding of how food is presented and composed is humbling. Your ability to use all of each ingredient completely in your dish without wasting any aspect of it was amazing. While we believed our meal with you was the best we had during our three week journey through Great Britain visiting five other Michelin star chefs, it is more than that because of your gracious hospitality and friendliness. The feeling of being comfortable in your restaurant is immeasurable. Thank you for an experience which we will treasure and a forever memory. We are grateful.

Had their pre-theatre menu. There were nothing special about the dishes served - veggies accompanied mackarel was extremely bitter, I couldn’t even eat. Only dessert was satisfying considering Wild Honey as a michelin starred restaurant.

Came here as a birthday celebration and did the 3 course menu. Staff can be a little too pushy where you don’t get privacy. You can also meet the chef.

Had the pre-theatre menu. Superb value for a Michelin Starred meal. Food was very good. Mackerel Bouillon to start was one of the best dishes I've eaten all year. Menu choice limited on the Pre-Theatre menu. Was 3 choices per course up until a couple of weeks ago when they changed it to 2 choices per course. Nonetheless, all dishes we had were of a high standard.

Myself (meat eater) and my girlfriend (vegetarian) food the atmosphere too be fantastic as well a the service and the friendliness of the staff. The food was well presented and served, especially the honey from the honeycomb. The food we both felt wasn't tasty as we thought it was going to be. The recommended wine was top notch though!!

I came to the Bonaparte during Halloween, dressed like Napoleon Bonaparte. I thought the staff would say something, but the didn’t even notice! When I asked they said “whatever, it’s decent.” Honestly they shouldn’t be allowed to be called “The Bonaparte”, if they don’t even know napoleon.

Lovely service from a helpful lady. The array of Macarons in display was beautiful and I couldn't resist a little treat. At £2.70 each - for most of the flavours - it really is a treat. I chose the apple tarte one - perfectly tasty, the Halloween special - so yummy - and my favourite, raspberry. I happily nibbled away at them at the theatre, later on. Such a lovely little shop and one I will revisit next time I'm passing.

The afternoon tea is really a lovely experience. Unique location with great design. The staff was very friendly and attentive throughout, Abi in particular was super personable. The salty and sweet snacks were ok. Salty snacks are very natural and made with few spices. Sweet tarts were very very sweet. For me personally the sweet cakes were way too sweet. The tea was really good. All in all, a cool experience, but at a slightly higher price for the experience. Recommended for a special occasion.
