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

Had an enjoyable evening and some great dishes on the tasting menu. So what I write here may seem picky. But...we paid over £400 per head (including wine - and non-alcohol - drink pairings). I've been fortunate to eat in a number of Michelin starred places and this isn't at that level IMO. Restaurant is nicely located, very nicely presented and the staff were generally great. The sommelier seemed like they'd had a bad day and not especially inspiring. And I know I'm getting old when one stand-out thought was how many were wearing clothes that didn't fit! The food, which is what we came for, was a mixed bag. None of it was "bad", definitely need to underscore that. Clearly significant skill involved in all of it, which is one box ticked. Nothing worse than visiting a top end restaurant only to think you could prepare the food at home! And there were some stand out dishes. The mackerel/lime/sorrel was a flavour punch, and the sea bream/black radish/perilla was both full of flavour and delicate all at the same time. Definitely my favourite dish. I'd also note the Eastwood cheese/bakewell dish was nice too, but a £15 supplement was a bit cheeky in retrospect (we knew it was a supplement beforehand). Bread and chicken butter was nice (parfait technically well executed)... Others were OK - damning with faint praise at this level really. Earth was a mushroom dish that was nicely executed, Quail pt 2 nice enough and I liked the Final Sweets but reception was mixed around the table (eating all components together made the most of it IMO). A number of others were nice ideas, but missed the mark in key places. Cheese/caviar had nice flavour but the texture wasn't right. Too chewy - pitched a "doughnut", I'd take a doughnut back if it cost 50p from a supermarket and chewed as this did. The chicken sandwich was pretty bland flavour-wise and the texture was on the edge of OK. Flavour was also lacking in the beef/trout/leek dish and the rhubarb/custard (the main flavour of which was the orange cake - didn't mind that, but the menu advertised rhubarb and custard, which I love, and that was nowhere. And a couple technically missed the mark. Cod/fennel/green chili had a small piece of cod that was overcooked - marginally, but overcooked. And whilst the taste was lovely, it wasn't fennel/green chilli. And Quail pt1 was a couple of small pasta parcels, the pasta for which was too thick and the stuffing very solid. Being greedy it's not often the texture of a piece of food detracts from the flavour (if it's there) for me. But this did. Wine pairings were generally very good according to my dinner mates. I was driving so tried the non-alcohol pairings for the first time ever. I probably won't again. Some nice liquids that I wouldn't have thought to try, but some not that great (I should have asked for a list of what they were in advance...perhaps that should just have been offered ;)). There's a lot to like about this restaurant, but with its awards and price point it's operating at a serious level and missed the mark for me, so couldn't recommend it on the basis of this visit.

siempre una buena elección de opciones que te hacen sentir lleno. El único inconveniente es que se forman colas cuando se llena

El personal en todo el RSA era maravilloso, incluyendo el personal en la cafetería. Huevo escocés de eglefino y rollos de salchichas con ensalada eran increíbles. No podría haber sido más útil para el usuario de silla de ruedas.

Este debe ser uno de los mejores (más elegantes) lugares de Londres. Señoras permitidas en la mayoría de las veces. Ni siquiera te molestes en preguntar si la comida es buena. Está fuera de este mundo.

Popped in here for a quick drink. Lovely ambience and cosy atmosphere. Good for a stop off - nice staff.

Hombre grande en la puerta para mantener la rifa - rifa fuera, pero todavía tenemos en! Gran ambiente, personal de primera categoría, y muy buenas bebidas, todo para pasar la noche aquí. .

This was a Birthday celebration for my son's 40th. We had cocktails in the bar before going to the restaurant for an excellent 3 course meal. The food and service could not be faulted and the decor fantastic, this all made it a wonderful memorable evening.

Service is exceptional, fish is also exceptional, truly one of the best, if not the best fish dishes I have ever had, that is including fish dishes at Alan Ducasse which is three Michelin stars and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay which is two stars. How this place doesn’t have a star is quite surprising. The only very slight let down is the beef/ meat offering, not really on par with the fish and although good, nothing to shout about. Ambiance is great too and good wine menu.

¡Increíble! Bien - hecho de lujo sin el snootiness. Patrick es absolutamente maravilloso y nos educó los estadounidenses en la tarde y cómo elegir nuestro té. La comida era divina y me sentí como una princesa sentada en sus hermosas sillas rosas (justo fuera de la sala de té) y me sentí tan bien - cuidado por Patrick y su equipo. Cuando me aloje aquí de nuevo, sin duda voy a reservar otro té de la tarde. Fue una experiencia tan lujosa y encantadora, y me encantó toda la comida - kudos al chef. ¡Muy recomendable! Pregunte por Patrick, ya que es absolutamente genial para asegurarse de que está bien cuidado - - gracias Patrick.

Brilliant. Full 3 course meal, everything was brilliant. The service was great as well. Cannot find a single fault with it.

Situado en Pall Mall, a 5 minutos a pie de la plaza Trafalgar. Este es un club y edificio icónico de Londres, asistió a una cena en uno de los restaurantes con un amigo miembro. Código de vestimenta a observar (verifique con anticipación dependiendo de qué bar / restaurante) . Fantásticos recuerdos de automovilismo / carreras en todo el club imma últimamente mantenido. El servicio en bares y restaurante fue excelente fue la calidad de la comida. Gran y memorable experiencia clásica británica/londinense.

Un gran grupo de nosotros disfrutamos de la buena comida aquí temprano en la noche. La comida era del alto nivel habitual, y disfrutamos de un gran servicio y vinos finos. Siempre, servicio con una sonrisa.

This company is paying for Google reviews to try and look better. Not saying the food is bad or anything so always try for yourself but.... paying for reviews is kinda underhanded

A truely 5-star experience every time.

Do not recommend and definitely overpriced even if it's in London and within a five star hotel. The atmosphere and decorations are great but the rest is pretty sad. Cocktails? We ordered two different cocktails, one of them is average quality and the other one is torturing to drink. Both are unbalanced. Now the service... A random pub/bar on the street can do much better than what they provide, which is surprising that the service can't even meet the bare minimum. Glad to have checked before booking for a business drink.
