  “The service seemed quite disorganised. First they couldn't find my reservation. Then, when we sat in, we had 4 different waiters come to take our drink in the first five minutes. Then the waiters entirely disappeared somewhere. My friend's drink didn't arrive, so I had to remind them for it, and they ended up charging it twice. Overall, I got the impression the staff was not trained and the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing. There definitely seems to be vast room for improvement on the organisation front. For a simple start, they could have a dedicated waiter per table, as they do in most normal restaurants. The fact that we didn't have a specific waiter only added to the feeling of messiness and chaos. The food is pretty mediocre. There weren't many traditional British options and I feel this is what most visitors would expect due to the way the place is marketed. The hall is beautiful but due to the space acoustic it gets super noisy. We could hardly hear each other with my friend who was less than a meter away. If you don't mind shouting over dinner, you might enjoy it.”

  “What an absolute dream of a meal! The restaurant itself is breathtakingly beautiful, and the food and service were top-tier across the board. The set menu is such an amazing value and so delicious! While every course was wonderful, the highlight had to be the steak—cooked to absolute perfection with crispy fries, velvety béarnaise sauce, and a glorious glass of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It doesn't get much better than this!”

  “A restaurant with a truly magical atmosphere right in the middle of the city! The staff is wonderfully helpful and polite, and they accommodated our group of eight with a fantastic round table. The dining room is stunning, surrounded by walls filled with amazing paintings. We started with lovely appetizers and enjoyed an excellent fish course. While the meat dishes weren't quite up to the same standard that evening, the team handled it with total grace—tasting the dish themselves and bringing out other delicious food to make up for it. Even top-tier restaurants can have an off item occasionally, and their outstanding service showed how much they care. We will definitely be back to give them another try!”

  “An exceptional experience at Berners from start to finish. The atmosphere, food, and overall standard of the restaurant were excellent, but what truly stood out was the level of service. I would particularly like to recognise Sadik, who was absolutely outstanding. He was attentive without being intrusive, incredibly helpful, professional, and genuinely thoughtful throughout our visit. He was always one step ahead, making sure everything was taken care of and that we were comfortable. It is rare to come across someone who combines such professionalism with genuine care for guests. Sadik clearly takes pride in what he does, and his attention to detail and dedication made a real difference to our experience. Exceptional service deserves to be mentioned, and Sadik certainly deserves the highest praise. He is a real credit to Berners and played a big part in making our visit such a memorable one. Thank you to the entire team at Berners, and especially to Sadik, for such a wonderful experience. I look forward to returning.”

  “Berners Tavern is far more than just a restaurant, it's a dining experience that I would highly recommend. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. We had a slight mix-up with our booking dates, but the receptionist handled the situation brilliantly and took great care to ensure we were seated comfortably. The food was outstanding. The steak was perfectly cooked, juicy, tender, and full of flavour. The prawn chowder was genuinely a highlight of the meal and surprisingly good, one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. The team truly elevated the experience. Our waiter, Shaq, delivered five-star service throughout the evening. He was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations that enhanced our meal. Jude, our sommelier, was equally impressive, providing great cocktail suggestions that paired perfectly with the food. Combined with the stunning ambience and warm hospitality, Berners Tavern delivers on every level. The staff, service, and atmosphere are genuinely 11/10. I will definitely be returning and would not hesitate to recommend Berners Tavern to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.”

  “Impeccable professional, warm & friendly service; superb well cooked Sunday roast in an elegantly designed dining room with a live jazz band on a beautiful afternoon truly made my husband’s 60th birthday special & memorable! We had an excellent experience from being welcomed at the door to being served by Andres & Viola throughout. We’ve not had prawn cocktail for years but decided to give it a try & it was made really well with a slight kick of wasabi in the dressing. The pork & pistachio pie with a selection of pickles & mustard was quintessentially English & made well too. Our mains were a sirloin roast & roasted hake and all the accompanying roasted vegetables, crispy Yorkshire puddings & crackling potatoes. We had the dessert of an English wildflower cream with madeleines. The team sang a birthday song with a little sweet surprise for my husband at the end. All in all - we had a superb afternoon & kudos to the restaurant team for your excellent service & hospitality. As a Bonvoy member, this is probably one of the better hotel restaurants I’ve been to. Highly recommended!”

  “We just the most amazing sunday afternoon at Berners Tavern. We chose to celebrate our anniversary here. The service was exceptional. Our server Arlene was so friendly and attentive she gave us amazing service. The food was fabulous. We had the Sunday roast. It was the best roast in london arguably. The atmosphere was sophisticated as they had a live jazz singer and band which added to the atmosphere. A must visit. Beautiful dinning room and exceptional service 10/10”

  “We went for dinner and we really enjoyed it. Nice atmosphere but slightly loud.perfect for groups of people but also for couples. There a separate smaller room as well. The staff demonstrated to be highly qualified and the manager (Silvia) was outstanding. Interesting wine selection but a bit pricey for the products. Overall experience 4 of 5 star. I would recommend it.”

  “I recently visited here with my boyfriend for my birthday meal for the first time and I was very pleasantly surprised. The setting was so romantic and the design gave such a lovely vintage chic vibe. The food and wine were both gorgeous. The staff were lovely and at the end they bought out a special (gluten free) happy birthday dessert for me. Catered very well for my gluten allergy, would definitely come again.”
