The restaurants sits in an adorable space. The vibe is lively and cool. Not pretentious. Very comfortable. Our server was fun and attentive. All of the cocktails were delicious. The tartare was just right. The beef was cooked perfectly. All of the food arrived faster than expected. Would definitely recommend! read more

Heddon Street Kitchen was unfortunately a bust! I expected much more from a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, but the food did not live up to the expectations. First, $7.50 for still water was ridiculous. Then we were told they were out of the cod, which was disappointing! My short rib sandwich was also extremely overcooked and dry. As Gordon Ramsay would say, "This chicken is as dry as a camel's backside in a desert storm," except in this case, replace chicken with short rib sandwich. The tuna tartare was the only highlight of the meal. The tuna and avocado were both perfect, tasty and easily the best part of our dining experience! The restaurant itself has a beautiful ambiance and a lovely atmosphere! We also really liked our server, who was pleasant throughout the meal. Unfortunately, beautiful surroundings and good service can only go so far when the food is subpar. I expected a much better experience from a Gordon Ramsay restaurant and left feeling extremely disappointed. read more

Much too slow. Dinner ended up taking almost 2 hours because food took forever to come out. And that's with eating fast. Thought that the food was mediocre. Didn't really love the flavors. And the pork that I ordered was overcooked. It is a Ramsey place but think this just meant that everything was overpriced versus other comparable restaurants. Also being a Ramsey place I was surprised the food was served within our party of 4 at fairly different times. Service was great. And the restaurant looked very nice. read more

You'd think finding a Beef Wellington in London would be easy, but it turned out to be the opposite for us. Thankfully, a friend tracked one down in Mayfair and we ended up at Gordon Ramsay's Heddon Street Kitchen. The restaurant was busy and trendy, with a lively vibe that still worked well for families, especially with their ice cream bar. Kids eat free on weekdays, which is a nice touch. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the energy of the room - our fries were forgotten, and our food took over 45 minutes to arrive, which even the staff acknowledged. What we tried: * Beef Wellington - Beautiful presentation, but it fell apart once we sliced into it. The beef itself wasn't as tender as we were hoping for, especially given the hype and the name on the door. * Tofu Poke Bowl - A rich aioli tied everything together nicely. The cucumbers added a refreshing crunch that kept it closer to the original poke concept. * Sea Bream - Generous portion size, but the fish was overcooked and turned out quite dry. * Kids' Mac and Cheese - Surprisingly excellent. It looked almost soupy at first glance, but the sauce was actually very creamy and cheesy, and the kids liked it enough to ask for seconds. * Kids' Meatball Pasta with Tomato Sauce - The pasta and sauce were solid, but the meatballs were dry, as if they'd been overcooked or left too long. The kids did get to enjoy the ice cream bar and loved being able to pick whatever their wild imaginations desired. Overall, with the long wait times, missed items, and some overcooked dishes, the experience fell short of what I'd expect from a Ramsay restaurant. I wanted to be blown away, especially by the Beef Wellington, but left feeling underwhelmed. read more

Food was expectedly pretty decent. Looked forward to the beef Wellington but was a bit underwhelming. Be ready to wait 45 minutes minimum. Fish was perfectly battered, flavored, and cooked. Umami wings were well cooked and deep in flavor. My family thought the smash burgers were pretty good also. Service was absolutely terrible. Constant reminding our server of dishes and waited way too long - for everything. Add insult to injury, our to go sauce spilled all over my and my mom's jacket and luggage. We're from Los Angeles. Ambiance was pretty cool - it's what I expected London to look like. Dimly lit, warm lighting, and elegant. read more

First meal as a family in London. Dishes were pretty tasty. Service was just okay. Idiot Sandwich (4): The lamb was pretty tasty. The bread was very nicely toasted and really gave the sandwich a nice bite to it. Butter Chicken Curry (5): Slightly spicy and delicious flavor! Large chunks of chicken. The saffron rice had some chunks of grapes which added a really nice contrast. The garlic naan was amazing as well. Dry-aged Rib-eye (4): Really nice cut of meat. Cooked perfectly medium-rare. Wish it was a little thicker but still tasty. They had a kids menu and their dishes were free! They liked the sausages. Overall we had a great meal. read more

This place is a great, casual but upscale place to bring your kids and for a good, comfort meal. The servers were all pleasant and accommodating. And the ambience is low lit, cool, with an extensive wine and drink list. The mushroom cannelloni dish was so rich. Bummed that the ice cream bar wasn't open, but the Mac and cheese was cheesy and a good portion for free kids meal. Highly recommend. read more

I would give this place 1 star for the food but our waitress was very helpful and very nice so I added a star. We ended up there because every other restaurant on Heddon Street was full. We had an edible but low quality strip steak and an OK endive salad. I have been in places where I couldn't eat the food at all but this was better than that. I am mystified by the positive reviews on this site. It is as if they ate in a different restaurant. read more

One of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants the Heddon Street Kitchen offered a nice place for a reunion with London friends in the outdoor section*. The food was very good but maybe not the best I've ever had. *Notably, as the darkness started to evolve, the outdoor section was visited by the next level of patrons, i.e. an army of mice running out and in minute openings in the ground and enjoying the leftovers from the designated patrons. read more

Hands down the best meal we had in London! The fish was fresh, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Our sides of mashed potatoes and buttered kale paired perfectly. This was literally the best kale I had in my life! Topped it off with a sticky toffee pudding that I did not want to share! Cocktails were delightful additions to the meal as we enjoyed the ambiance and open air layout. read more

Danny & Chris are amazing! From the moment I walked up to the door, they knew I had a reservation and my name. They took care of us and cared about us the entire two hours we were there. My son explained he's heading to the U.S. Army and they brought him a special dessert. I honestly would return based on the service alone. But I would also return for the food!! We had the Beef Wellington for 2 and added carrots. The meat was cooked to perfection. I had to add to salt to the meat, as it needed more flavor (for me). It very tender, and beautifully presented. The glazed carrots were UNREAL! Please add that to your order. We also had the tamarind chicken wings: OHMYGOSH: sooooo dang good! I could have eaten a dozen of them. Dessert was so tasty too... we had a cheesecake, a (complimentary) strawberry sorbet, and a tiramisu. All were so yummy and refreshing (which was welcome because of the heat). We also had crafted mocktails... YES!!! Carefully prepared and paired. If you have the chance: GO! read more

The service was definitely top notch. It's what you would expect from a Gordon Ramsey establishment. As for the food, it was just ok. We ordered the famous beef Wellington for two. The pastry was crispy on the outside but it was a bit too much and became soggy. The ratio to mushroom "feeling" and beef was not great. The flavor itself was a bit bland. I definitely suggest if you want to try it, go for the smaller portion and try other things on the menu. read more

Came here for dinner with a large party and had a good time. Food was average-good, but portions were larger than expected, especially fish & chips. Would recommend sharing that for sure! The menu was a little bit all over the place, with british, american, and even japanese sushi listed. Umm, what? But other than that, I enjoyed the appetizers and desserts quite a bit, especially the shrimp cocktail, poke and sticky toffee pudding. read more

This place sucks. Highly disappointed as the beef Wellington taste nothing like the one at Hell's Kitchen in Las Vegas or Washington DC that I've had and gone to many time. Someone the recipe here is different from the US. Also it tasted kind of burnt. No wonder the 3.5 stars on Yelp. Don't be fooled. Don't go here thinking the beef Wellington is the same. Bland as well. They even charge 3 pounds for extra sauce. I didn't order the sticky toffee pudding cause I didn't want to be fooled twice. Avoid!! read more

Very disappointing experience from a world renowned chefs restaurant. The service was bad. They seemed understaffed as nobody took full ownership of our table. We were charged for 3 waters despite only getting one pitcher that the waitress didn't leave at our table. The food was average at best. Hardly any vegetarian options and the few available were subpar salads and pasta. The fish and chips were not worth the cost of the plate as you can find better quality elsewhere. Was most excited to try this place and have never been more disappointed in a dining experience. read more

Been wanting to cross off a "Gordon Ramsay" restaurant for a long time. Finally got the opportunity here in London. The location is fantastic. A little side street of Regent Street right near Piccadilly Circus. It's tucked back in the corner. The aesthetic of the restaurant is 5 star. Dimly lit with a very rustic feel. We were early for our reservation but were seated immediately. The server offered water - still or sparkling. We got still. Chose a couple of wines off the menu - delicious and not too badly priced for London (£14 each). We got a bread basket as a starter which was 4 of the same rolls, equally overcooked underneath and a hazard for teeth. The main reason we were there was for the famous beef Wellington. £120 for 2 people, which came with a small side of mashed potatoes. The server informed us of a 45 min - 1 hour wait because it's cooked to order - PERFECT. The food eventually came and fortunately for the chef, the restaurant was dark. It wasn't until after eating the ends and reaching the middle did we notice just how undercooked the beef was. By this point it was too late to return the food because we already ate some. It was to the point of being inedible. I don't mind a medium rare steak, but not my beef Wellington. On top of that, the layer of mushroom was far too thick and overpowered (the very impressive) pastry. On getting the bill, we noticed that we were also charged £7 for tap water. You read that correctly. It wasn't the worst meal I've ever had, but 'quality per $' value, it was up there on the bad list. read more

What can I say. I lost a lot of respect for Gordon Ramsey. I was skeptical of all the negative reviews but wow, they were spot on. The food was bland and unforgettable (for bad reasons). The beef carpaccio was thick slices of cooked roast beef, think deli meat, very odd to say the least. The tuna tartare was bland and tasteless. The beef Wellington for two was beyond a let down. It was flavorless, low quality chewy meat. My kids Mac n cheese was inedible and he said it comes back 50% of the time! 50%!! My other child got the fish and chips. It was fine, but again bland and tasteless. We spend $300 on this meal after they comped all of our drinks and removed the carpaccio from the bill. The service was fine and it was clear they get a lot of complaints because they were more than ready to take things off the bill. They kept saying, before we even tasted it, to let us know if we didn't like anything. Needless to say, the restaurant was more than 1/2 empty and the all the neighboring restaurants were packed. We won't be back. I am certain most never return. read more

My husband and I attended dinner at the Heddon Street Kitchen for my birthday. Thus far one of our higher end Gordon Ramsay, restaurants. Reservations were made through the website. And we had an ease of making reservations and adjusting times to fit our needs. The restaurant was both stylish and comfortable with indoor and outdoor eating areas. It was evening time or night time and we did find that it was just a little bit dark in the restaurant to comfortably view the menu, but the atmosphere was very nice. Our server was impeccable and was on top of our needs throughout the meal. She was friendly. She made fantastic recommendations of drinks and sides as asked. I don't usually drink, but I found the Bellini to be fresh and tasty. The appetizers of the prawn cocktail and the Ahi Tuna were shared between my husband and I. The flavor, of course, was on point. As Americans who see Gordon Ramsay on tv we couldn't NOT get the beef Wellington. The presentation was beautiful and the flavor was fantastic. As we were celebrating my birthday, the server was kind enough to bring a small birthday presentation. We did, however, additionally order desserts. We found the portions to be quite large. More than we may have expected for a European restaurant. And we ate more than we might have, anxious to enjoy the meal, apps, & dessert. Tho we live in a popular US city, our Ramsay Restaurant options are far away & so we wanted to enjoy multiple options. Prices. Well, you pay for the name & the quality & reputation behind it. We knew and accepted in advance that it would be a pricey meal and this was not even one of his highest end restaurants. We enjoyed his lower end / chain-style area places on the same trip too. I didn't leave feeling bilked or cheated. I wouldnt argue against slightly smaller portions (to experience more or prices - but we enjoyed the meal throughly. My husband used to work in the service industry & while we know policy & customs are different, he still tipped our server above the meal cost as she strongly contributed to our enjoyable overall experience. read more

What an amazing night out! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. It was a dream to eat at a Ramsey restaurant in London. We got the beef Wellington for two and it was mouth watering delicious. I added a picture but it's after I already ate one of the pieces of beef since it was that good. The steak was as soft as butter. They even have mocktails, which always feels inclusive on a huge bar menu. Finally, the cheesecake was a highlight with the pistachio ice cream. It goes without saying that the ambiance is top notch. read more

Tucked away in an almost nondescript part of Regent Street, this is just one of many nice restaurants in the area. It's, literally, surrounded by them. Fortunately, all of the restaurants here have their own unique flair, so it shouldn't be too hard to choose which one you want to try first; just ask your gut what it's hankering for. Having dined in most of the others, I can say from experience that this is one of the nicer ones. It has a secluded enough patio that it doesn't feel like it's in the way of foot traffic like some of the others, the interior is spacious and swanky, and- while pricey- the food and drinks are pretty top-notch. If you're coming during the week, chances are you won't need a booking, as walk-ins are more than welcome and it isn't too busy on a workday. During the weekend, however, it might be a different story. The menu is as grand as it gets without being overwhelming. Whether you're craving seafood or steak, they've got you covered. As always, I have to say a few words about the boozy portion of the menu: Cocktails. Delicous. Get them. Moving on. Given that I'm not really a seafood person, (at all), and didn't want to shell out £40+ on a rump steak I wasn't sure I'd like, I had to go for the next-safest option and try the burger. While not quite worth the almost £20 it cost, as it was a bit on the tougher side, I could tell that the meat was pretty high-quality, the Sriracha Mayo gave it just enough of a kick to make it "better-than-your-average-burger," and those fries were to die for. I just wish they'd include something a little more gourmet than jarred ketchup to dip them in. One of this spots biggest selling points is the great service and upscale ambiance. Perfect for when you want to impress someone, and don't mind paying for it. read more

My rating should read - service 5-star, food 3-star. We had high expectations for this restaurant. Very friendly and personal services were lovely (the Brazilian server who brought us drinks was absolutely delightful and made our visit memorable), but the food did not quite deliver. Beer Battered Cod Bites had crispy, flavourful batter and were tasty, and tartare sauce was lovely. However Grilled Flat Iron Steak was very salty. It's easy to add salt according to your taste and it also came with chimichurri sauce, so there was no need to sprinkle so much flaky salt on it. Chunky Chips were lovely and flavourful, but again too much salt on it. We were surprised to learn they didn't have any Dijon mustard for our steak. Seriously?? Vanilla Pannacotta was nothing like we expected. It was just a soft whipped cream/mascarpone served in a glass, and was very sweet and totally disappointing. We would love to see some tweaks in the kitchen, and we are happy to try again. read more

My friends and I decided to dine in at Heddon Street Kitchen to finally experience Gordon Ramsay's world and we're so happy we did ! After completing our research of all the Must Do's for first timers to London we stumbled upon this restaurant and added it to the list. The attentiveness, finesse and flavor profiles were amazing like couldn't recommend this establishment and our waiter Ionut enough. We ordered cocktails and Main Entrees, but since there was Golden Hour we were able to enjoy Bread +Spreads until our food arrived. Literally not even 10 mins later our food arrives to the table and it's been set before our eyes. The flavors were potent and made you truly savor every bite, I tried a little of every dish and it was great across the board. Thank you HSK for everything ! Menu items...2 Dry Aged Rib Eye steaks (Med Rare-PERFECT cook), 1 Baked Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni, 1 side of Chips, Mac and Cheese and Fine Green Beans +Cocktails- Raspberry Mojito & Sweet Caroline +Dessert-Sticky Toffee Pudding read more

We visited here for my 30th birthday dinner. In a way, this was the last ditch effort in my eyes for Gordon to save London's food scene that we experienced up until then (severely under seasoned, underwhelming food). To get to it, we started with the wings, shared the wellington, and finished with the sticky toffee pudding. You see the rating. 3/5. I must say, though everything was *technically* done well, I was not blown away by flavors. The wings were probably the best part, but extremely messy to eat. You need a wet napkin to truly feel your hands are clean. The wellington was cooked to perfection, but the overall dish had virtually no seasoning whatsoever. I was underwhelmed by the potatoes it comes with also. The sticky toffee pudding was just fine. read more

My friend really really wanted to eat at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant while we were in London. He also really really wanted the Beef Wellington experience. After some reading, it looked like the reviews at Heddon Street Kitchen would be a good place to start. Although we made reservations, we were informed our table wasn't ready. Fine, we had some cocktails/wine in the waiting area by the bar. The ambiance of the restaurant is quite nice -- dimly lit, some accent lighting, and overall rustic and not pretentious. We decided to share 4 courses -- the Beef Wellington for 2 (comes with 4 cuts), the pork belly, and the lamb main course. We also got a few sides of mac and cheese (as the wellington came with mashed potatoes). I took a star off due to our server. Initially we weren't quite sure what we wanted, and as we were ordering we were informed the wellington would take 45 mins to make... fine... we mistakenly said 2 orders and then also the additional 2 main courses --- way too much food for 4 people! The server had only been gone less than 5 mins when we told him we wanted only 1 order of the wellington (for 2) and the other 2 mains and sides. Instead of accommodating, he got very upset and said it was too late. This is a fine dining restaurant and it was less than 5 mins since we ordered--we should be able to change our minds in a few mins. He left upset and we asked to speak to the manager. The manager accommodated our request, but the previous server never came back to wait our table. He had someone else serve us the remainder of the meal! Overall the food quality isn't worth the price we paid. The wellington mushroom pate was overly dry and salty. The beef itself was well-cooked, but not sure it was worth the wait, the price, the annoyance of having to deal with a snotty server. I'm not likely to visit this restaurant again based on our experience here. read more

I had high hopes walking into Heddon Street Kitchen with my family of 5 on Christmas. We were seated upstairs next to a window with a draft on a cold night. Our waitress did not smile once. The food was awful. My son and I shared beef wellington and the other 3 had the turkey meal. None of us finished our meals. We had to prepay $1,000 for this meal which included a mandatory 20% tip for service that was sub par. We laughed about it but it was a huge disappointment! read more

First the positive, The ambiance and overall appearance is great. Food smells great, properly lit for a great time, had the Gordon name, figured I had to try it. For the rest, Booked a table online in advance, got there a few minutes early. Ended up waiting 45 minutes past my scheduled time for a table for one.. They'd stopped serving the Wellington Beef, which was the primary reason I wanted to go. So id ordered the Wagyu meatballs as a starter along with the Sunday Roast dinner. Both were extremely underwhelming considering with the Ramsay name one would expect it to all be top notch and worthy of its price point. The Wagyu meatballs were about the diameter of a pound coin and literally tasted like pre made freezer meatballs. The tomato sauce tasted like unseasoned tomato puree from a can.. totally disappointed. Hoped the main would be better, also was average. There are so many other places to try in London. You're better off with a pint and Chip Butty from a chip shop. read more

We came here during a trip to London because it is one of Gordon Ramsey's restaurants and we wanted to try the beed Wellington! As a citizen from the US, I was felt like the service was mediocre at best. However this could just be the way the wait staff are in Europe. Despite this, the waiter we had was kind. I also find it odd paying for water, especially when it is room temperature and comes in a bottle and I am given a cup but no ice. I asked for ice. As an American I also am not used to paying for bread and butter. Despite the cost, the bread and butter here were exceptional and a good start to the meal. The food here was very interesting and I would have to say pretty good. Beef Wellington for the first time was odd and a new flavor, but was cooked at the right level that we liked and the pastry crust was good. The food here did not disappoint. In terms of drinks, this place has a good selection of mixed drinks that all look and sound very good. I opted for a berry boost and my girlfriend had a le frand fizz drink. Both were very good and very tasty with our meal. This is was pretty nice place when we went and the location is even better. There were reservations available unlike the other restaurants we tried and I felt we had a good experience here. read more

To say we were disappointed would be an understatement. To preface, we dined here on Christmas day with a prefix menu. We both understand how difficult holiday service can be, however, for £165 per person (tip, tax, drinks & water not included) at a Gordon Ramsey establishment, we expected more than this lackluster dinner. First, the restaurant seemed extremely over committed and understaffed, especially for a busy service day. The kitchen was consistently backed up and our server looked like she had way too large of a section. Here is our experience: We started with four small bites, which were nothing to write home about. Second course was an appetizer of two underwhelming small scallops in the shell. Perhaps the wrong choice of the three options given, but you would hope each dish would be equally as delicious. Keep in mind none of these dishes were relatively substantial in size or susstinance. While we waited for our mains, the party of six next to us (who received and finished their apps after we did) received their entrees before us. Very poorly timed coursing to say the least. Between the appetizer and entree being delivered, we waited roughly 40 minutes. By the time our main course was delivered we were 1 hour 20 minutes into service. We frequently observed the surrounding tables not receiving their silverware before the meal, and left sitting with hot food on the table. In order to avoid this we asked three different staff members (including our server) to bring over the utensils while we waited. Our requests were forgotten/ignored and we received our Beef Wellington only to wait two more minutes before getting any utensils - quite avoidable especially since we asked multiple times for them prior. Overall, the Wellington was probably the saving grace as far as food was concerned, but we weren't blown away. For dessert, we chose the holiday pudding (not great) and the cheesecake, which was good, but it was definitely not a traditional "cheesecake" (just sweet whipped cheese in a ramekin). The hot chocolate we order was comparable to a store bought packet. Tasted more like steamed milk without much flavor. Finally, and this one was the biggest disappointment, they ended service with a cheese board that consisted of ONE piece of cheese and THREE little raspberries. Of all cheeses, they chose probably the most divisive of all- a STRONG blue. We couldn't even eat it and a lot of the tables surrounding us barely touched theirs. Very poor choice especially considering that it is the last impression of the meal and something we were looking forward to. Toward the end of the night the table seating seemed to slow down, but despite many people having left, we still felt unattended to in many ways. Some instances include having to repeatedly ask for the silverware, dirty napkins being left on our table even after plates were cleared, not being checked on until our food was nearly finished or finished completely, etc. At no point did management come over to address the delays in the service, which EVERY table was experiencing. Considering the rate of service, we requested the bill once the cheese was dropped at our table and it did not arrive until about ten/fifteen minutes later. Our whole experience was almost three hours long - NOT by our choice. For context our reservation was at 7:15 and we paid the bill at 10:00. For a five course meal (two of which being very small bites) we felt this was shocking, considering our reservation slot allotted a two hour time limit for a party of two. Being from a country with a big tipping culture we understand and have NO issues with giving gratuity, especially on a holiday. In fact, we expect to tip. I can count on one hand how many times we have ever tipped under 20% in the US due to poor service. However 15% was added on the bill (more than the standard 10% in the UK). In addition to the meal, which we paid for in full upon reserving, we got two water bottles and a hot chocolate, bringing the additional charges to £73. All of the other tables paid with a hostess or manager but our server came over with the card reader. While the tip amount was optional, we would have felt extremely uncomfortable asking to reduce it. We did not. Ultimately, we know a server cannot control the kitchen delays, but she (and the support staff) did not handle the evening with the attention or consideration that would normally be expected for these circumstances. Overall, for the high price this was one of the more disappointing meals we've had, especially when we looked forward to a nice Christmas meal on holiday and were excited to try a Gordon establishment in London. Maybe on a regular day it would be different/better but we would be hard pressed to take that risk again. read more

*visited pre-covid19: Summer 2019* Wow wow wow. Delicious! Second time eating at a GR restaurant. Chose this one as we didn't plan out our trip details nor make reservations. We came for lunch and did not have to wait for a table! Loved every dish that we ordered, and surprisingly, the fish and chips is probably the best I've ever had. Even though only one piece of fish, it is a HUGE one. Fried with just the right amount of batter and also tasted fresh! (Both the frying and the fish taste.) We also got the rib eye steak and fillet steak. Obviously, I enjoyed the fillet steak more. Both were done to medium rare, just the way I like it. Very tender, juicy, and flavourful steaks. The only critique that I have: plating could have been a bit more impressive. I also loved the open kitchen in this restaurant! I love watching people work in the kitchen (not as dramatic as Hell's kitchen, but a pleasant watch.) Still dreaming of the day where I'm invited to Hell's Kitchen and/or finding Gordon Ramsay at one of his restaurants! read more

The Wellington was good (but it certainly wasn't worth waiting an hour and a half for). Upon placing our order the server told us the Wellington would take about 40-45 minutes... 90 minutes later it finally came. We are convinced there was a miscommunication between the kitchen and the servers as a nearby table that got seated 30 minutes after us mysteriously received their Wellington before us... Whatever the case may be for the slow service, they did remove a starter from our bill to make up for the inconvenience. All in all, an underwhelming (and slightly annoying) first time Wellington experience. read more

Ok, so having written up the review I forgot to do from last May...now... We went 2 weeks ago...I had booked for a late lunch but rang because we had finished shopping - can we come earlier...no problem. So good start A little bubbles as a treat while we went through the menu. Great service, attentive as before. I revisited the burger, my partner went for the duck salad (is it as good or better than the Ivy in the Park's version?...well I will be back to try it that's for sure, as she thought it was excellent). A glass of rouge for me and blanc for her, a little sorbet, espressos and a very nice, slow paced, unrushed meal Cost incl service £120...but take away the booze and it was £60, service £15...thus food was £45 and well worth it It was pretty full too but that was not an issue; they had the staff to cope...and that is very refreshing these days, frankly We will return read more

AVOID Went with sole goal of getting the kids to the make your own ice cream station. After eating and watching the table next to us go upstairs and their kids coming back with ice creams. We were then told by the manager it closed due to safety reasons. When I explained that the server had also told me it was in fact due to a private event she said I was not supposed to know that and should not have been told that. So in addition to a disappointing experience I was blatantly lied to. Note website says ice cream station is always open and not available for private hire I expected better read more

Food is on par. If you are in the area, don't have high hopes, nothing spectacular. The service is absolutely bad. The host is always with a rather unfriendly face and the waiter are pretty rude during my entire experience. It also took them 45 minutes to prepare a steamed sea bream. Not recommend in general, take your money elsewhere read more

It was a go big or go home moment for my very first Beef Wellington. I mean, if you've made it to 36 years old and never had a proper welly, it's got to be Gordon's classic dish or bust, right? My husband made reservations at Heddon Street for a late Saturday night dinner about a week before our long weekend in London. Night of, our table was ready when we arrived a few minutes early. We were promptly visited by a sommelier, who shortly thereafter delivered a beautiful Syrah. We enjoyed chatting with her the rest of the night as she checked in on us often to refill our glasses and ensure we were enjoying everything, including the wine. We couldn't decide on just one or two apps, so as is our MO, we over-ordered and got three. The turmeric chicken wings were my favorite of the three! So flavorful and crispy. The sauce was sticky and had the perfect sweet/savory balance I love so much. However the 'nduja filled gnocchi were a close, close second. The poor chips with truffle aioli would have been the star app anywhere else (they were quite tasty) but they paled in comparison to the wings and gnocchi. About 45-minutes after we placed the order (it takes some extra time for the wellington), the masterpiece arrived! Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned. My mouth started watering the minute they put it down in front of us. Everything about the dish was just perfect. From the tender, salty beef to the warm, flaky pastry crust... Even the accoutrements were mind blowing. I mean, can we talk about the truffle mashed potatoes for a minute? How do they even make a bowl of potatoes taste so rich and earthy yet light and airy all at the same time?!? Sadly, after all of that food, we were way too full for dessert. Next time we visit (oh, there will be a next time!) we will skip an app or two and go for the sticky toffee pudding. Thank you Gordon Ramsay and team for such a wonderful night out and a life-changing first taste of Beef Wellington! read more
