The Clove Club 380 Old Street, London EC1V 9LT

"A great gastronomic experience overall. Everything is worth tasting. I highly recommend paying extra for the optional menu items as they were definitely worth it. The drinks were fantastic. The service is on point, and it seems the entire team serves every table together, so you have different people bringing different things. My only criticism is the fact that it's 10 courses over 3.5 hours. It felt a bit long, especially given the wait time between some courses. I think a 5 course menu (and combining the initial 3 finger foods into 1 course) would make more sense."

"This is one of my fav restaurant in London and it was my third time visit to the place. Food was as creative and tasty as always and service was also top notch. I would say it was a bit too creative on this time around but I think it’s good to be experimental. This is one of the fine dining restaurant you ca. go back multiple times and can enjoy each time perfectly. I like the woody cozy ambience and personally perfect for a date."

"Fantastic tasting menu with a great variety of amazing and really well balanced dishes. Great cocktails too. Loved the dining room facing the kitchen, couldn’t believe how calm all the chefs were! The waiting staff were really knowledgeable and friendly too, appreciate them suggesting wines that we might like that weren’t even on the menu."

"We very much enjoyed our dinner at The Clove Club. Our table enjoyed three vegetarian tasting menus and one regular tasting menu which was thoughtfully presented with a seafood allergy in mind. The dishes were all delightful, can't fault anything. We've been to other similar restaurants where the food presentation may have had slightly more "wow" factor but the flavor of everything we had was top notch. Some of our party had the mixed wine and tea pairing while others had only the tea pairing and the teas were absolutely amazing although I do think the price of the beverage pairings was a wee bit high. The staff all made us feel very welcome, especially Nicholas and Michael, but everyone we came in contact with just lovely. The room and ambience felt intimate and comfortable. Based on other reviews I was prepared for it to feel a bit stark with no table cloths and a minimalist vibe but there actually were tablecloths and the color palette of the room was very warm and inviting. Most expensive meal I've had but the experience was well worth it and I don't regret a penny of it."

"I would give this place 10 stars if possible. Each dish placed in front of us was better than the last, the staff were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and also understanding when we were running late due to transport issues. The inspiration behind each meal is so imaginative and each bite of our meal was packaged with new and exciting flavours. The menu is incredibly accessible despite the two Michelin stars. Nothing felt too challenging to eat, even the meal item that had snails!"
