The best restaurants in St James's City of London, Westminster London

Beautiful interiors and the views from the terrace. Attentive service and delicious and nicely presented food, unfortunately, I'm unable to upload pictures for some reason.

The staff was very helpful, polite and attentive. It was my first time actually trying fish and chips and it didn’t disappoint. Ordered cod and chips and plaice and chips. With a side of coleslaw.

Lovely food and service with original interior.

Frank was amazing , we loved hearing all his extensive knowledge on the Whiskies . He really made our experience very very special

We have visited for an Afternoon Tea. The service was exceptional, polite and very attentive. Sandwiches and especially desserts were very fresh and delicious. It is a very rare chance to get such fresh desserts anywhere in London!

Very difficult to describe just how bad the service was here. 25-30mins to order drinks. After an hour and incorrect drinks being delivered twice it started to become quite comical….especially as the waitress wasn’t able to tell us what the drinks were she was trying to leave on the table. We left after having to ask for the bill 4 times, having the incorrect bill delivered twice and ultimately loosing our sense of humour about the whole situation. Apparently they do food. Given the drinks experience I’d suggest ordering 3-4 weeks in advance.

Fantastic service good coffee yesterday best teams thank you so much

Excellent service at the Hampshire Lounge Bar. Magan took very good care of us and made it a very pleasant experience!

Brasserie One is a reasonably priced oasis in Westminster, which is ideal if you want a conversation over a meal. I have always found the service to be very good, with good food and wine. The menu is limited, but I have always managed to find something worth having and that I like. Worth checking out. I keep returning.

Thoght I would try here after a recent dining experience at Bentleys nearby both seafood restaurants. Contrast was mainly in the service, appreciated Wiltons attentiveness and experts in the dining experience but even more so no upselling. A pleasant 4 courses where I asked for temperature on truffled oysters and was giventhe reason for being served warm but not hot, great and a delicious souffle with stilton, as well as fine fish soup and fresh hot breads.

Definitely recommend coming here! I stopped by yesterday evening for a warm drink, and the staff were very kind. :) Thanks again!

William amazing waiter friendly and attentive. highly recommend x

Nice restaurant in West end close to theatre, with very friendly staff. Food was great but expected it to be.

Great concept for wine! And only did explore wine (didn’t try food) Would be useful to get a bit more description about wine on each tab but the idea of getting it yourself with no pressure is excellent. Will come again!

A Truly Disappointing Experience My experience at this restaurant in Covent Garden was, unfortunately, one of the worst I’ve had in London. After seven years of enjoying the city’s incredible culinary scene, I was shocked and humiliated by the treatment from the staff, specifically the waitress and hostess. Our group of 3 was simply looking for a quick bite and a glass of wine, but we were told we needed to order at least a three-course meal to be served. I’ve never encountered such a demand without prior warning, especially in a city known for its hospitality and diverse dining options. The policy seemed excessive, and the staff’s rude, dismissive attitude only worsened the situation. As someone with a background in marketing and client service, I was appalled at the lack of customer care and communication of these “rules.” This experience felt less like dining and more like extortion, and I would advise anyone considering this place to be prepared for an unwelcoming environment. After leaving, we went to another restaurant nearby, spent over £70 per person, and were treated with respect and without pressure. Sadly, I cannot recommend this establishment to others, especially given the unprofessional and impolite service. If the restaurant hopes to maintain its reputation, it needs to focus on better training its staff to prioritize respect and transparency.
