While researching for a Beef Wellington restaurant to take my boyfriend as a part of our London…read morebucketlist, I identified 45 Jermyn St as best value. I made a reservation online with Seven Rooms. The address is in the business' name. To get to this restaurant you can take the Piccadilly line and exit Piccadilly Circus and it's less than a 10 minutes walk over. We headed to the area a little early to explore Piccadilly Circus and Fortnum and Mason next door. Upon entering, there is a coat check that can take our outerwear or backpacks. The card they gave us for our belongings were really fancy. Then we were seating at a cozy half booth. Since we knew what we wanted, we were able to quickly order when our server came around to take our orders. We wanted the Beef Wellington for 2 (£99.50) that comes with sides of Dauphinoise Potatoes and Green Beans in Peppercorn Sauce. We were surprised to be told it would be a 40 minutes wait time for the Beef Wellington due to the tableside sauce making, and it seemed like only one person was performing this task. We got some bread to start, but I didn't want to eat too much cause it would ruin my appetite for the main attraction. I also ordered a glass of Massale Pinot Noir (£15.25) and asked that it would be brought out when the food was ready. When the food was finally ready the tableside service was a fun show. All the ingredients were premeasured for the tableside chef, and he showed us every single ingredient he put it. Then he skillfully cut up the wellington without cracking or denting the crust. He mentioned starting out in pastry so he has some moves. The meal was a fantastic treat and the sides were much appreciated. The dauphinoise potatoes and green beans paired well with the wellington. The beef was cooked perfectly medium rare and evenly. The whole experience was definitely a treat. I would recommend it if you're looking to try a beef wellington... After experiencing the Sunday Roast in London, I would say the Sunday Roast experience was less expensive for equivalent or greater enjoyment. Nevertheless this is one of the better value establishments if you are looked specifically for a beef wellington experience.

It's at the end of the street on the corner, so don't let an Uber drop you off in the middle of the street and make you look for 45. The waiters were very nice, patient and attentive. There was a waitress who showed us each ingredient she used to make the sauce for our Beef Wellington. At the end she flambayed our sauce and we poured it on the Wellington. I didn't really feel like it added anything significant in flavor to it. The restaurant is nice and I agree with other critiques; you can go in casual but you're better off dressing nicely. I would definitely eat there again. They had a delicious potato augratin and garlic green beans.

The food was tasty. The service was fair. The ambiance was inviting and aesthetically pleasing. When we arrived, we were greeted and seated almost immediately upon entering the restaurant. The overall ambiance and decor was very pretty. After a short wait, the waiter brought us some water and took our orders. I drank the water pretty quickly, but the glass was never refilled, which was interesting. It was a good thing that our hotel was just across the street to get something else to drink. The food took awhile to arrive, but I guess it was somewhat worth the wait. I ordered the veggie burger along with sweet potato fries. The meal actually came with regular fries, but I substituted them for the earlier mentioned side. The veggie burger was pretty good. It had a pretty solid outer texture; however, the interior was a little mushy for my preference. While the mushiness did not detract from the flavor, it was the texture that made it a little off-putting. Aside from the texture of the veggie burger, the sweet potato fries were perfect in texture with an appropriate amount of saltiness.

If you've never had that before, I would describe it as a marriage between a blueberry and pickled olive. It's more tart and sour. It's not what I expected and I am not a fan of the gooseberry. Though, luckily, I do like beets! I love that beets are popular here in London. Of course, for balance, I ordered a small portion of the Mac and cheese with truffle (add 2 pounds more). It was pretty good! I cleaned the entire bowl. The service at this place is really good. We were seated right away (perhaps because my colleague made a reservation). Their menu has a wide variety for everyone.

Fantastic experience!…read more I made a reservation for dinner after seeing The Hunger Games and am so glad that I did. The restaurant is nearly next door to the theater, so a plus for a great meal within a short distance. When I arrived my table wasn't ready, so I was escorted to the bar for a cocktail. I wasn't overly early so didn't expect to wait long but after a longer than expected wait decided to order at the bar. I'm a big people watcher, so the bar isn't ideal as your back faces all of the action. They have an extensive cocktail menu and because I couldn't decide i opted for my good old faithful martini. Typically there's a Sunday meal offering but they were out so I went with the scallops, the longhorn steak and Mac and cheese. The scallops were fantastic but the star of the show was the steak, I'm a medium rare plus girl but the bartender told me that because of the way the steak is aged there wouldn't be blood on the plate and that was the honest truth. The steak was perfectly prepared and I was sad that I couldn't get through half of it. The mac and cheese is extremely creamy and well prepared as well. Typically I'd take a star away since they forgot about my table. But once they remembered they came over and apologized. It wasn't expected but they decided to comp my cocktail, which was a great surprise. If you're in the wharf area I'd absolutely give the restaurant a go.

The sticky toffee pudding (my very first ever) was sooooo orgasmic! Husband had a strawberry tart that was fresh and creamy and served with a quenelle of mouth watering strawberry gelato. I was able to arrange a welcome drink for my husband on the OpenTable app. It came on a dinner plate with a happy birthday message inscribed in chocolate, and a single discrete candle.

We ordered the Royal Eggs with smoked salmon (similar to Eggs Benedict) and an English Breakfast. Everything was delicious, and the egg quality was excellent. I also had a lychee matcha -- the matcha itself was great quality, just a bit too sweet for my taste (I'd ask for less sweetness next time). My husband ordered a coffee pot with milk, which was a very cool experience and great coffee quality too. Our server, a young woman named Tasha, was wonderful -- super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a great breakfast in the heart of London, not far from Big Ben!

Five stars for a quaint restaurant tucked away in the Mayfair area. We actually just stumbled upon…read moreThe Little Square while looking for lunch. Fair warning, it is very small but definitely worth it. FOOD: Pricing was on par with other restaurants in the area (£58 for two people). I ordered a fruit tea, French onion soup, and mushroom risotto. (Note: If you want chicken, it's an extra £4.60.) The French onion hit the spot, and I really appreciated the baguette used in the soup. My risotto was really nicely cooked, and I don't think it really needed chicken. My friend also ordered the French onion, but she got an earl gray tea, spinach and goat cheese tart, and sticky toffee cake. All of the food was delicious. The portions were very generous - especially for the entrees. I wish we could have carried out the rest of leftovers, but our hotel didn't have a fridge. Lastly, the dessert was delicious. My favorite part was the toffee surrounding the cake, which was a bit dense for my liking. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. SERVICE: Our servers were strllar, though I wish I could remember their names, which weren't on the receipt. Great job being attentive and helpful in being knowledgeable about their menu. LOCATION & AMBIANCE: Definitely off the beaten path, but well worth the slight detour. It's in a quaint area. The windows were left open, which let in the smokers' cigarette smoke, but we just moved tables away from the window. I'm not sure if they have an upstairs. I would not mind going back. Great find on my most recent European adventure.

I strolled in sans reservation on a Saturday night and luckily was able to be seated (perks of traveling solo?) however recommend making a reservation as the place is quite small in size. Service was friendly and attentive. The staff seems to work together to ensure costumer satisfaction. For beverages, there is a list of speciality or classic cocktails, some beers, limited wines by the glass, and a more extensive wines by the bottle list. I was delighted with my gin based cocktail from their speciality menu. Not sure if this is a London thing or just in my case but water was free... the still seems to be tap as many tables had metal refillable carafes. I chose sparking and was pleasantly surprised when the bill came and I was not charged. The plating of food is beautifully presented. I order the Market fish entree. The one star down is due to the fact I was told it was halibut today as they had a few more before they switched to serving salmon. Once my order came out it was indeed salmon, would have been nice to give me notice in case I wanted to change my order based on the unavailability. Worthy of mention is the automatically added 12% gratuity to your bill as the menu does not disclose this.

We had a couple of missed food moments in London (two-hour wait for Dishoom, Bumpkin Notting Hill…read moreclosing down, etc.), but we were very glad that the Laughing Gravy came through. A quick walk down Blackfriars Road, Laughing Gravy is a cute restaurant with a beautiful dining area and bar.

I decided to start the meal with their spin on Scotch Eggs - with scallops and squid on a bed of arugula and seaweed. Very unique - and the flavors worked very well together! I don't think I'll be able to find another scotch egg like that one. For my main, I got the fowl with mustard sauce and white beans. Savory and just SO good. Every bite. Delicious. Great meal. Pricey, but it's to be expected. Quite, quite good.
