This review is for breakfast. And I love coming here for it each time I'm in London…read more Food: Breakfast! Weekend breakfasts are tops as they do the Full English then, but weekday breakfasts tick the box too. I had the Eggs Benedict - eggs cooked to a runny perfection with the most delicious hollandaise on a lightly toasted English muffin. And a supporting flat white to wash it down with. Service: Friendly and attentive without hovering. Space: A great spot to work out of (quiet work, don't do your calls here folks, please) and enjoy a beverage and a meal. I can't say they'll be OK with folks hogging a table at peak times but I've only ever been there pre-lunch. Cost: So very reasonable for central London, about £25 for breakfast and a coffee. Takes cards and cash. Give it a go!

We enjoyed an unhurried lunch with Gayle's Rabbit Tagliatelle was delicious and not something she would normally eat at home. My choice of Free Range Chicken Cordon Bleu (with Potato Salad) was also a tasty step out for me. We also shared a carafe of white wine and bread for the table. The online reservation system was easy to use and eliminated any concerns over getting a table. Strolling through the National Portrait Museum when lunch was finished was a happy bonus.

Many of us live or are from Austin, TX so when we found out we'd all be in London at the same time, he suggested this place to meet. A couple of us arrived a bit early and they were able to seat us while we waited for the rest of our party. The food was very good and the view was amazing! If I could, I would rate the experience 4.5 stars but I am giving it a 4 because they were out of brine for their salt & vinegar martini and the service was slow. We had to wait a long time for our food and had to flag people down. One of the people was a member of the museum so we got a 10% discount on our total bill. However, I wouldn't mind going back again on another day so I can try the martini!

I've had scones and tea every day since we began our vacation, and these are by far the best scones I've had! Fresh out of the oven, loaded with raisins, fluffy and sweet, not at all dry, absolutely scrumptious! We had a nice server and the staff is helpful! This glass building, hence, The Shard, is a place where even Cinderella and her glass slippers would approve! It's opulent without being haughty, elegant but comfortable. The views are SPECTACULAR!

Take a break from shopping and enjoy a pot of tea while people watching from this cozy spot.read more

Getting reservations for A Tale As Old As Time was very difficult. I was traveling to London with a…read morefriend and really wanted to experience this tea time. Online reservations only allowed for one guest not two. I had submitted in my request for one with hopes they would allow two people. While walking in town, we passed the Town House and we popped in to ask if we could get the reservation altered to two people. The kind gentleman at the door assisted us with much warmth and kindness. He himself was unsure why it wouldn't allow more than one person, for the table are designed to hold more. Must have been an online error. I'm just glad I reserved the one person seat instead of assuming it was sold out since it was clear it was an online glitch. I'm so happy we got a chance to experience this wonderful tea party. It blew me off my feet. Every detail was extraordinary and if I was given the chance again - I would jump on the opportunity to attend. Highly recommend to all the Beauty and the Beast/Disney fanatics!

I was very disappointed with Richoux this time around. I went for Saturday morning breakfast and…read morewas greeted with an unenthusiastic shrug from a tired-looking waiter. I waited for ten minutes before he decided to take my order, a latte and a ham and cheese omelette. The latte was fine. The omelette, however, took at least 20 minutes to arrive, was tepid and was accompanied by maybe the worst toast I have had in my adult life. It was cold and had the consistency of packing material. It actually hurt to chew it, even with butter and preserves. This place is not inexpensive, so this was especially unforgivable. A total rip-off. Spend your money elsewhere.

We had the afternoon tea. It was very good and I would recommend if you're looking for a fun and…read moreaesthetically pleasing tea time in London! I highly recommend pre booking. The sandwiches were very nice, surprisingly flavorful. Fresh. The baked goods were really nice. I loved the scones and the lemon glazed madeleine was my favorite. The only things I didn't love was the "sweater" biscuit (dry and turned my tongue blue from the food coloring.) and I also did not love the red velvet cake. My favorite tea was the Irish Whiskey Cream. Perfect with milk and a sugar cube. I highly recommend for a sweeter option. You really can't go wrong here. Service was pretty good. The waitress was friendly. She explained things well and was kind. We were supposed to have a Happy Anniversary on our table when we sat down, but it wasn't until the check came that we received a little plate with chocolate written on it and two cakes that were not very good. So I wouldn't necessarily prioritize this place for a special occasion if you want something a little fun, but it's not a deal breaker. The terrace was beautiful, and still warm on a chilly, rainy day. Very beautiful decor. The inside was also "insta worthy". Overall, I would recommend. Don't forget reservations!

I didn't have to get it for every morning but I chose which morning to have it on the spot. Breakfast is a buffet. When you come in, they seat you and get your drink order. They can do specialty coffee if you want it. They also have juice. The spread is a good selection of meats, cheeses, fruit and bread, both warm and cold choices. I was filled up from trying all the options. They offer safe choices and also local, English breakfast The staff are quire friendly and very helpful in clearing the dishes you don't need anymore. I also overheard them answering questions that other guests had about the food.

Landmark Hotel - Winter Garden…read more Date of Visit: 16.09.17 Time: 4pm Review: A short 7min walk from Baker St station and moments away from Marylebone station the hotel is ideally located with many bus routes and Selfridges and Oxford street a short bus journey away. As you enter you see the grand courtyard and palms greeting you and transporting you to a new place in time and location. You feel like you have travelled to a new country and ready to start your holiday and culinary journey awaits. A great feel and the open area is even more impressive if you walk up the staircase and view from the mezzanine level with the live pianist and comfortable seating area. As you enter the winter garden you are immediately greeted and we were seated not to long after even though we were early. Menus provided and explained in detail but luckily i also enquired before hand about vegetarian options so was aware this was an option. However when the menu was explained we were again asked about any dietary requirements and given options of no meat, no gelatine and no alcohol but i have a feeling that many other options available and very impressed by this. You are first served with your selection of tea and you can order other drinks if you wish you just maybe charged. Anytime you wish your tea is served to you and refreshed as you need. Staff always attentive and you are never kept waiting too long. Always smiling and friendly. Soon after the sandwich selection arrives without the crust and each one is explained. If you finish your selection more are immediately offered and served up. All great tasting with fresh ingredients and not overpowering, cucumber sandwich was fresh and especially also liked the pepper and cream cheese. After you have completed your sandwiches your scones are served followed by your dessert selection and again you are offered more scones should you wish and at every stage tea is topped up as needed. Scones again home made and fluffy and you get to select two jams (we had strawberry and apricot) and you also get clotted cream but ample servings provided. I am not a scone person but still loved them. Lets see if you get space for dessert but amazing little selection provided and such great flavour and each looks like it was meticulously made. Hence it is worth ordering one of each of the afternoon teas as you can then get to taste the various desserts and yes you can take away any you don't finish in a nice handy take away box which also has some style to it. You won't go away hungry. Booking Process: Booked via email and after chasing once the process was easy and responses forthcoming. You do have to provide your credit card details for booking to be confirmed and there is a cancellation charge. Location: 222 Marylebone Road, London NW1 6JQ Decor & Lighting: Very large and bright courtyard given you are sitting in the glass atrium so flooded with natural light. Ambience & Acoustics: You have a live pianist playing but it is very much background music and you can hear any conversation with ease and given the expansive area they have done extremely well with the acoustics. We had the following: Drinks: Winter Garden Blend (Tea), English Breakfast (Tea) Food: Winter Garden Afternoon Tea (Vegetarian Version) Chocolate Afternoon Tea (Vegetarian Version) Sandwiches: Cucumber, Egg Mayonnaise, Buffalo mozzarella with pesto and tomato, mixed pepper with cream cheese. Scone: Apple and Raisin, Chocolate chip and fruit peel. Dessert: Pistachio and Raspberry Bakewell, Coconut and chocolate macaroon, Banana, pecan nut and milk chocolate cake, blood orange and white chocolate mousse, Pistachio and chocolate Opera gateau, to name just a few... Desert: See Above Bill / Cost: £165.00 for three inc service charge etc (£50-60 per head without the champagne option) Conclusion: A very pleasant afternoon, we arrived early and had to wait a short time but the hotel did take us earlier as soon as they could accommodate. Every effort made to meet your dietary requirements so i would recommend a visit as even if you don't like the menu it is worth asking for the other options as you will probably be pleasantly surprised. Even offered and provided a fruit platter for my mother who is diabetic. especially nice place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. Rating: 8.0 out of 10.0
