Lovely spot near Buckingham palace. We had the soup and toastie, as well as the selection of three mini scones. The scones were absolutely delicious and the soup was great too! We just didn’t like the toastie all that much… it’s made with industrial toast and low quality cheese… The staff was nice though and the decor is lovely. Overall, we recommend this place for a nice cream tea!

Had Halibut Fish and Chips - the food was perfectly cooked. Great atmosphere - wished we could have stayed longer! Great place to pop into before or after a show or if you’re in the area as we were!

We reserved a table for 9 to 8 p.m. We arrived at 8:12 p.m. and initially I was told that unfortunately they tried to call me to tell me that my reservation was not possible (I never received a single call), then insistently we were told that we arrived late (12 minutes!) and that the kitchens will close (at 8:15 p.m.!!) We're talking about the restaurant at the Radison Blue hotel! Deplorable, the worst welcome in London To be completely avoided

Used to be fond of this place but very disappointed with the food. Food was served within 5 min of ordering suggesting it’s definitely not freshly cooked. The sausage does not have any meat in it. Is it vegan sausage even? Bacon and mushroom all very dry. Won’t have it again. Had eggs Benedict last time which was better.

Don't go there!... We arrived before 1 p.m. and ordered 2 croque monsieurs, we said that we would be served quickly (so we immediately booked a tour of Westminster for 2 p.m./2:30 p.m.). At 1:40 p.m. we were told that our order had not yet been issued (even though there were 9 customers in the restaurant), and that it would take 7 minutes for it to come out. We confirm that we are taking it anyway since we had not had breakfast. Well, at 2 p.m. we got up and left without having seen the shadow of a croque monsieur. So we ran to Westminster to enjoy our visit, on empty stomachs from the day before. And so I'm writing this message at 5 p.m. still having eaten nothing. Ashamed !!! Noting that when leaving we still paid almost €20 for our drinks for a coke and a spritz without the slightest action being made. In short, if you want to waste your time, you understand (and even then I find it hard to imagine if I had ordered a slightly more sophisticated dish)

One of the OG bakeries I always visit when I'm in Chinatown to buy Char Siu bao, they are generous with their filling in their baos which is why I come here. Even though the inside is a bit small, they have plenty of pastries to choose from, occasionally I also get a coconut Cocktail bun if I want to change it up a bit. If you're not planning to buy a lot of things then make sure you have cash with you when it's under £10.

The peaches in the peach salad were hard as rock (and were not caramelized as the menu stated) and the rest of the salad mediocre. The himachi was decent but very skimpy for 25 pounds. The linguine with prawns was good but the tortellini was terrible, one bite of the whitefish a bit suspect. What Italian doesn’t give free bread to soak up the extra sauce? It doesn’t even need to be good bread! Portions were all small and overpriced. Room is nice but two extraordinarily ugly photographs are difficult to look at. Waiter was very nice but what the manager did was appalling. I went to the bathroom and then came back. My friend then went to the bathroom and was followed out, accused of leaving without paying the bill. Seriously who would do that? They said they didn’t see me come back. Is this really a problem? We were quite upset. Manager apology was incredibly lame. Restaurant was mostly empty. It is in serious need of major changes.

The missus and I enjoyed a good old fashion boogie. Top stuff mate. Didn’t realise it was a Gay Bar but I’m comfortable with my wife. Nice boys though, wouldn’t hurt a fly.

We have visited this bar two nights in a row. The bar staff are so friendly and accommodating they go above and beyond to ensure we had the drinks and table we wanted to watch the Scotland game, and told us about offers that we would be interested in. Thanks Brad ☺️

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.
