Berners Tavern

A lovely experience in an exquisite room. Excellent sommelier, careful service, but the food was very good, but not really special.

Overall a great experience was had service levels were excellent

Sophie took great care of us. Amazing evening. Great wine and food

I booked this for my partners 30th birthday surprise dinner.....WOW WOW WOW...he was totally blown away from the minute we walked through the doors. Service was fantastic; attentive and efficient delivered with class
This was the first time we had eaten there and we will certainly be back. Food was outstanding and of great quality....can't praise it enough
Overall, a great dining experience, both left feeling that we had experienced true customer service excellence, in surroundings of class and quality. Totally recommend you give it as try

Stunning setting, great food and service - and good for people watching too. Also good to have pre-or post dinner drinks at the hotel bar or backbar.

Went for brunch. Venue is beautiful, but food was average.

Great enviroment, the paitings in the wall are wonderfull! A place to Go and remember forever! Without words to describe!

We visited Berners Tavern after watching a Channel 4 programme that tasted the Mac and cheese with red wine beef. We were pleasantly surprised by the setting, high ceilings and walls covered in paintings. The noise level in the room was really loud, it was hard to hear other people talking. The food was excellent, portion sizes were small but tasty. Service was good. We were offered a glass of champagne but refused due to the cost. I’m glad we went but would not rush to return.

This was a breakfast business meeting - I did not complain about the food at the time however I did tell the lady who took payment. I had avocado, poached eggs on sour dough. The eggs were stone cold (not even luke warm) and I could not cut through the sour dough crusts they were so hard. Unacceptable for the price you are charging.

Fantastic atmosphere with well organized staff. Friendly and supportive! Chef came to the table and shook hands, rarely seen!

Only criticism:
- language barriers, staff spoke broken English which resulted in some misunderstandings
- chateubriand could have been warmer, was too chilled
- noise level, during peak hours, is super high

Anyway, definitely a next time!

Worst service ever. Got the order wrong, delivered the toast 10 min after we had finished eating the omelette

Desperately slow to take drink order and give menus. Was completely ignored for 15 minutes. Pumpkin soup was excellent. Beer glasses were horrid

Beautiful place but won't hurtle back as part of a hotel and too big.

Service remains patchy and they still bunch everyone together even when they are half empty. Irritating.

We arrived for our 1.30pm slot but were given blank looks by three ladies on reception, and told our table wasn't ready and we were to wait in the lobby of the hotel. After a couple of reminders we were eventually shown a table at 13.50. We were given a set menu to choose our dishes from. We understood we would have a menu for vegetarian and pescatarians too, but this turned out to be one choice per course. And the vegetarian had an avocado allergy so that ruled out the starters! We asked for another menu but were told that this was it! It was our fault apparently because we should have emailed the restaurant in advance. We called the manager. He gave us some options from the bar menu and that was resolved, of a fashion... The drinks then didn't arrive, so we had to call over the manager about that. Then the Virgin Mary arrived but nothing else. Then the other drinks arrived but with another Virgin Mary! They saw the other one untouched and took the second one away. By 15.30 we received our mains (surrounded now by people having their afternoon teas!). The manager aplogised and offered us more wine which we needed and accepted. By 16.30 we had still not received the deserts and coffee. Two of my party had to leave, and my fresh mint tea didn't arrive when the coffee arrived, so I had to call the manager again. Still no deserts. As there were three of us left we just asked for the bill. They gave us the whole meal and drinks on the house. Although it was the least they could do, it ruined our family Sunday lunch together. I am very unimpressed with this restaurant - its reputation is not valid as 5 star and the prices are inflated, choices are limited and staff are not trained well enough and the kitchen appeared to be in utter chaos.
NEVER AGAIN LONDON EDITION!!!

Lovely ambiance with great food and incredibly friendly service. I highly recommend it.

Good restaurant
Great Place
We will come back !!!

Cool place chic and easy very good food and wine not so cheap but worth it!!!!!

Very friendly staff good service and food is excellent

From reviews and word of mouth, I expected to be wowed by this place but sadly I was not. Food was good but not outstanding, service was efficient and professional but not at all warm or friendly. I would not go back nor would I recommend.

Really amazing food but servers seemed too busy to pay too much attention to us

Great staff, food and atmosphere! A must!!

The food was good, service fast, the room was sexy like King‘s Cross Station, just louder. Very loud. Avoid!

Absolutely beautiful restaurant. Service impeccable/faultless. Food not quiet up to the standard it always used to be, but still good. Still love absolutely this place.

Great atmosphere, so much to take in with the high ceilings, art work and ceiling detail. Comfortable surroundings with great service- in fact the best service I have received in a long time! Will return.

Really lovely restaurant, great service with great attention to detail. Food was really nice, menu is just the right size.

Beautiful setting. Incredibly expensive. Great service. Food was delicious but hard to justify price. Definitely go for the special occasion rather than everyday dining

Went for brunch as it was highlighted as a recommended spot and was hugely disappointing. Service took a long time, brought the wrong menu and the food was below expectations. I ordered the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was completely bland, it was merely a butter sauce. For the price of the dish (and location) I would have expected way better.

The staff were very pleasant and went our of their way to ensure we had a very special mean.

Birthday dinner for me!!!

Thank you for another sensational evening- we had friends from Sydney visiting and they absolutely loved Berners as much as we do! It’s such a beautiful dining room, the food is always presented well and tastes amazing. Service is top notch too. Can’t wait till my next visit to Berners Tavern.

The food service and ambience was all very good but they were very slow to bring out the main course which made us 15 minutes late for the theatre

One of the best restaurants in town...you haven’t been to London if you haven’t given Berners tavern a try. The mushroom chiabatta and Mac and cheese are signature dishes well worth their reputation. Their wine list has labels you will not find anywhere else. Service is exceptional and the wall deco is so classy and unique. Not cheap but worth every penny...you’re in for a treat!

Some of the best food I've ever eaten - loved every bite

The Lemon Sole was the best fish I’ve ever had - legit!

We had a wonderful meal, celebrating our friend’s significant birthday. The ambience of the restaurant was welcoming and friendly with an air of sophistication. We chose to eat from the Set Lunch menu. the duck hash was exquisite, the cheese option was out of this world. There was a special cake for the birthday girl and the service was warm and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend this place for a long, lingering lunch which allowed us to catch up with one another over a delicious meal.

This was a breakfast booking. The room is amazing. Worth a trip for that alone. The service was charming but rather haphazard. Seated quickly and given menus but then largely ignored. We had to prompt the wait staff for everything - it wasn’t even that busy. The food was ok. The coffee was great. I set a lot of store by good coffee!

Absolutely amazing food and beautiful decor but thought the atmosphere wasn’t so nice, the music was loud disco which really didn’t go with the ornate setting. I don’t think I’ll be going back.

Very disappointed. This was my fourth time at the restaurant, as it’s one of my favourites, and it felt short. Way short. I met the entire waiting staff, and it still took more than 20 minutes to get our drinks. My ribeye was most certainly not fresh, as it was chewy, and lacked seasoning (it was also depressingly presented). I asked for ketchup and was given the bottle. Sure, fine, no big deal, the bottle; however, in a restaurant like this one, I expect the ketchup to be served in the appropriate serving cup/dish/whatever it is they put ketchup in.

They did take the ribeye off the bill, which I appreciate. But because I appreciate the restaurant, I want them to know what’s wrong so they right it before it gets worse.

The food and service was both disappointing, its not what it used to be. Except for the decor, it’s not worth going anymore.

Amazing!! highly recommended
