    Food is good but beware the intimidating champagne pushing at the table and very aggressive water pouring which added £26 to a bill for 4 people

    A bit over priced even though the food and service was second to none. Perhaps spoilt by the fact that the hotel reception is in fact a bar and there are people under various stages of alcoholic influence scattered everywhere. Quite off-putting.

    Berners Tavern did everything right - the food was great and the service was friendly and professional. Having the starter and dessert served tableside enhanced the already great ambience of the dining room. At the end of the meal, the server suggested nearby bars for an after-dinner drink.

    I liked the robust atmosphere at Berner's. The ambience is great if you like the buzz. The food is good. We tried the beef tar tar and the mushroom soup, and for mains, we had the steak.

    The beef was not of the quality expected. Taste was good but toughness. Have had the lamb twice before. Wanted to try something different since we were served lamb at a home a few days earlier. Lamb next time.

    The pork loaf was delicious and the table side service from the cart was a nice touch. The lamb with lentils and potatoes was amazing, but it could serve 4 people, not 2, so we took a lot home with us. For dessert, we enjoyed a lemon pavlova with berries, it was not too sweet which we prefer. The red wine recommendations paired perfectly with the lamb and we enjoyed our starer cocktails. The service was outstanding. A great experience all around.

    The waiters were very friendly but messed up significantly. They got my entree order wrong, so my husband was eating alone. They forgot our side of vegetables too. They never offered to comp to make everything right! I was completely surprised! The food was very average. Very disappointed that they didn’t try to make things right. We spent a week in London and although the ambiance was incredible, would choose somewhere else to dine.

    We were visiting from out of town and had one night to ourselves. We were beyond thrilled the moment we walked in to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. The paintings were stunning, the staff was incredibly attentive and the scallops were perfect. Definitely recommend going with a group, date or special occasion.

    Came here from a recommendation of a friend and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is truly what makes the experience! The restaurant and decor were so beautiful, lighting was soft and romantic. Servers were so nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. Food was good, but I definitely wouldn’t say the best I’ve had while in London. Steak was okay, sides were fabulous! Overall a really great experience!

    The dining room is a statement in luxury and very ‘instagrammable’. The ambience is excellent with mood lighting and plenty of space to eat and enjoy yourself. The service is top class, attentive and entertaining from the waiters to the sommeliers - on a michelin level really. The food is expertly plated, visually appealing and tastes as good as is to be expected of a Jason Atherton establishment. The portion sizes are good too and celebrate the best of British cuisine. Very pricy but you get what you pay for! A top night all round, thank you.

    Ate in this restaurant for a special meal and I couldn’t have been happier with both the service and the food ! It was ABSOLUTELY outstanding . We have been welcomed by A smiley girl called Elisabetta in the entrance who offered us the chance to use the only and new ‘balcony table’ . Well, what to say: unique experience . Watching the restaurant from very close to the ceiling , with your personal waiter that comes anytime you press a button , combined with good quality food and amazing Service by The manager Salvatore made my experience priceless . THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TO ALL THE TEAM I WILL BE BACK SOON !

    The venue itself is beautiful and the service provided was really good. Staff is excellent (attentive, knowledgeable and very nice) and they are a big part of your dining experience. We were not impressed with the quality of the dishes though which makes me question the restaurant's value for money

    Fourth time I have visited Berners, but last time was pre-Covid. Atmosphere was excellent and service top notch. Food, however, was not as excellent as I remember. Had fish and chips and was a bit soggy, not 'magical' as I have experienced in the past. Still, a great place to meet with friends.
