The Lanesborough Grill

"You'd expect posh from somewhere like this, but this was better. They were friendly, welcoming made us feel really special. I'm not used to first class, so this might be what you should expect. But this was a treat for my mum's birthday and it was a delight. They even brought out a little extra treat with a candle for her."

"A little disappointing to be honest, food was amazing but took over an hour to arrive. We'd been there for 90 minutes before eating anything. When it did arrive it was exquisite, exactly what you'd expect from somewhere of this calibre. All of our drinks were removed from the bill due to the delay. The atmosphere was excellent as there was a female singer and pianist who was brilliant. Amazing experience despite the delay."

"Had our first afternoon tea experience here. What an amazing setting. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Food was lovely and the cocktail option was very nice. Word of advice, wear something with an expandable waistline, you'll need it! It was rounded off and made even more special by an unexpected lovely anniversary surprise. Couldn't fault anybody or anything. It was wonderful. Would highly recommend."

"I have always felt the space at the Lanesborough is unique, as I cannot recall visiting a restaurant offering such excellent food and service while also offering a restaurant with such a beautiful, spacious, and luxurious space to dine. In particular, the vaulted glass atrium gives a huge sense of space, while tables are spaced well apart, and the dining tables are furnished with comfy sofas, plenty of pillows, and most even have large side tables - the exact opposite of many restaurants which crowd tables together. It somehow feels grand and impressive and yet cozy and inviting at the same time. The Lanesborough Grill is a worthy successor to Celeste, which I have visited a number of times over the years. The food is at an extremely high standard and the restaurant remains as beautiful as ever. The staff could not have been more accommodative and made me feel they were truly wishing for us to have an excellent meal. When we accidentally ordered an item that was not suitable for my wife's dietary restrictions, they were both graceful and gracious about it, and organized a substitute on the fly that was as delicious and beautifully presented the main menu items. I was truly impressed. The wine menu also continues Celeste's tradition of having a very good selection of options by the glass. I will look forward to another visit."

"WOW! One of the best meals we've had in London so far! The change from Celeste is outstanding. Everything was faultless from the food, the service and the setting. We absolutely loved the beef wellington, a MUST order! The service was so attentive and just the right amount of friendly mixed with professional. An absolute top meal, 10/10 recommend!"
