As far as I know, you can only get in here with a membership or as a guest with a member, since it's a 'private club.' They really value classic drinks here, and a classic scene; lush couches and private corners, dark and intimate, great service. The old school cocktails were delicious. There was some shady stuff going on in the bathroom...but I'm not surprised.

First time here and visited after having dinner in the restaurant upstairs…read more Laid back cocktail bar with, best of all, table service (of which I am a big fan of!). Outside seemed to be more busy than inside (again which suits me fine!). Spacious seating inside with low level music which gives a nice atmosphere but, allows you to actually talk to each other in your own cosy space. Waitress did initially forget what our order was, but was honest enough to say so (so had a chuckle about that) but then presented me with the wrong cocktail. Mistake corrected swiftly with the wrong one left as a freebie. Reasonably expensive cocktails, around £14-15 however, what you kind of expect for this area. Sounded like there was a club downstairs but we didn't venture there. Maybe next time!

The worst was the popcorn flavored champagne- should have known by the name They did not share the coat check area with the restaurant underneath so that was confusing Service was average didn't have much interaction with our server most of the night As a tourist this place was cool but if I was a local prob would not frequent this place

When he left to go to the restroom and come back an employee put his hand on my husband's chest and tried to keep him from walking in the room and back to our table. The bar was not closed and many were still seated so I can't even say he was trying to ask him not to enter because they were closed. Even still, he could have used his words and instead chose to touch him. This really put a damper on the evening. The ambiance is really nice. I love the space. The decor and lighting make for a great evening experience. Outside of The Library, other Lanesborough employees were extremely friendly, with one even happily taking our photo.

My hubs and I fortuitously came across the Mamounia Restaurant. It's not just a lounge. It is a…read moreterrific restaurant serving outstanding Lebanese cuisine. Stepping inside we were immediately greeted with a genuinely welcoming smile. The manager and his staff are warm, friendly, and professional. We actually ate there on two occasions because the food is so good and the ambiance casually elegant and inviting. On our second visit we were served by Gabrielle who gave us excellent recommendations. I forgot to take a picture of the lentil soup which was light and tasty. Every dish was expertly prepared. The ratios of ingredients and spices were just right. We were never made to feel rushed so we took our time enjoying the flavors and textures -- it was a delightful experience and we plan on returning when we're back in London next year.

Best is the terrace outside and obviously the only part where you are allowed to smoke. Seating there reasonably comfortable with no attempts to be overly luxurious. Cover charge of GBP 5 per person outside. (5/8) . Crowd: upmarket with a lot of wealthy middle-eastern and Asian youngsters + business types parking their obviously expensive cars right in front. Both during afternoon and evening visits packed despite ongoing Corona impact. (7/8). . Food: mezze, grills, salads of ok quality. Fresh and tasty, medium-sized portions. Not a culinary temple but good backup when smoking and drinking. (5/8) . Drinks: great fruit cocktails and teas. Wine list not reviewed yet. Giving a (temporary) neutral+ (5/8). . Shisha: well-served with limited variety of Starbuzz tobaccos. Natural coal. Regular, attentive maintenance and overall very good, long-lasting smoking experience. Helpful, friendly advice when ordering and willingness to change/upgrade when first offer not to satisfaction. No fruits available. No decoration for the shisha bowl (6/10) . Service: friendly, warm, attentive, helpful, efficient. Quick turnaround and not pushy for seconds. So no complaints whatsoever, kudos to the entire team (7/8). . IG RussiaInsider

So one afternoon, I sat down in the Asian part of the restaurant and ordered:…read more"Crab & Truffle Soup" -- an odd, jelly-like texture, almost like aspic. The overpowering ginger completely masked any other flavor. Next, I asked the waiter for a recommendation, with one condition: "Nothing spicy, please." He suggested the: "Wagyu Tacos" -- minced beef tacos topped with an extremely spicy sauce. I couldn't eat them. The manager offered to replace the dish without the sauce, which I appreciated -- but I'm not usually one to take those kinds of risks, if you know what I mean. And the fact that the chef who prepared the dish later messaged me on Instagram, insisting that "it wasn't spicy at all" -- well, that's a whole other story. Let's be honest: we're not in a country where spicy food is considered the default. We're in the UK -- and yes, that dish was spicy. As much as it pains me to say this -- I won't be coming back to Novikov in London.

I have never…read moreseen a cocktail menu quite like theirs (let alone the names of their drinks), and it was like an art portfolio I wanted to take home. The lounge is perfect for an intimate date night with the low lighting and cozy couches. Parsnip (£24): Their take on the espresso martini! I hate that it's the best one I've ever had. I hate it because I don't live in London. I also hate that no one else to my knowledge has thought to add whipped cold foam to espresso martinis. A non-alcohol alternative was also listed with its respective ingredients (I assume this is wherever applicable), and I appreciated the inclusivity. Currant (£23): I believe this was their version of a Palermo! My friend really enjoyed it and didn't find it too tart. Both still and sparkling waters were £5.50. Service was lovely, and we didn't feel rushed as they were closing. We came on a Wednesday evening so we were seated immediately, but I bet the wait can get long on a weekend. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone visiting London to experience their unique menu and drinks. Worth the $32 price point!

All dishes are beautifully presented. Bar and drinks look great although I didn't partake. *shishito peppers unremarkable *fried chicken delightfully crisp and boneless dark meat(!) with an eastern flair. Came with sweet sauce that was slightly off the mark to go with the chicken but exotic. *crab appetizer also didn't work, oddly smooth crab filling with a funky taste. Fried outside was really good in an interesting shape. *lamb belly stole the show; tangy, sweet, crispy and delicious. I wish the inside was rendered slightly more but it was great. Overall, not everything worked but it was fun to try and still overall a worthwhile trip.
