Punitive £80 cost that the restaurant wanted to impose for a cancellation less than 24 hrs notice as one of our party got Covid so had to find other people to go with to avoid charge - although there were people queuing and waiting for a table. Food was VERY average considering the cost and the service was slow ( but admittedly friendly). Butter served with the bread was off and on the turn, cold food, wrong orders and one of our party had to wait for their meal to be re- cooked. Lovely venue but the average food did not make up for that. Been here in the past and the quality has definitely dropped since last time.

For a first afternoon tea, the Ham Yard was a great experience thanks to the outstanding level of attention and service provided, as well as the beautiful décor. The silverware and presentation of dishes were pleasing to the eye, however quality of sandwiches, tea as well as desserts could be better. We expected a much better quality of tea.

Worst experience... they ruined a planned surprised, and they charged us for drinks at the end and after they served the tea they asked us to leave and told us the restaurant is closed. Then they told us you can seat in the lobby area but one of the staff came and asked us to leave there. I can't believe how bad the experience was.

Lots of great options. Great Afternoon Teas, wonderful bar , great restaurant.Some good food deals for two courses and a glass of champagne for 35GBP in a wonderful atmosphere and location. Nice indoor and out door eating areas. Classy spot in a high class hotel Hidden gem just off Picadilly Circus.

Disappointed to see that the selection of teas weren’t included in afternoon tea and were a extra £2.50 supplement offering only earl grey and breakfast tea is limiting. Nice choice of sandwiches, cakes and scones. Thank you for my 40th cake it was lovely 💖

It's complicated. This is my go-to special lunch with a friend place. Beautiful decor. Comfortabale and spaced out seating. Professional service. Flavours perfectly balanced. However, I was starving when I left yesterday. The problem was that the portion sizes on the fixed price menu were tiny. A mere sliver of mackerel for a starter (paired with a wonderful cucumber and fennel salad and tangy chilli ketchup); sublime lamb main course but you could have fit the portion of meat in a matchbox. The pudding was fantastic. There simply wasn't enough food, even with a side of potatoes. The waiting staff were, as always, pleasant and efficient. No hint of a wince when we asked for tap water alongside our champagne. When we arrived the person in front of us was offered a menu with calorie values on it. Why weren't we? One final point. Am I the only person who's horrified to find other guests conducting interviews on their laptops. without using headphones, in the bar? Surely this is not acceptable? I understand that hotels need to accommodate people who are working in their public spaces, but an interview? Where everyone passing by can hear the candidate's responses? Really? Rant over. I would definitiely come here again, but probably choose from the main menu next time. Or grab a snack on the way there.

I was really disappointed by the Ham Yard, and continue to be so. I ordered the artichoke dish and the new potatoes were undercooked. Our waiter was attentive, but sometimes overly attentive and intrusive. The decor and the building is beautiful but overall very disappointed by the quality of food and service.

I thought that the set up outside was going to be a balcony/terrace but it was just the ground floor outdoor seating. service was really good and the waitstaff always made sure youre okay. food was meh. the bread of the sandwich seemed a little hard. for $50 USD, I thought the food was going to be better. Would not go again and try another place

Lovely setting outside in the courtyard but the service was very slow and poor. Our table was booked for 1930 and we didn’t get pudding menus until 2200. Also the food was overbuttered and a little disappointing - shame as have had really good experiences previously

Gorgeous setting outside and have been here many times. I had the chicken schnitzel which was average and completely overpriced. My friend had artichoke stew thing which was really salty and again completely overpriced for what it was. Croquettes for starter were good though.

I treated my mother to Afternoon Tea with a glass of rose on Saturday afternoon and it was lovely. We actually walked pass the entrance which is set back from the road. Upon arrival, we were swiftly taken to our table. The ambience of the restaurant is quite relaxing. The only noise was from a man who was speaking quite loudly and animated to his guest nearby. Despite that, it was a lovely afternoon. In particular, I enjoyed the seaweed scone with lobster creme fraiche and the blueberry and elderflower macaron. Normally I never eat macaron as I find them to be too sweet but the macaron was just right. We were quite stuffed. We boxed two of the scones and left a few cakes remaining. Thanks to all the wonderful servers and staff for making our visit a pleasant one. I look forward to returning soon for lunch or dinner.

Delicious food and very nice cocktails in a special location in the heart of London. There were lots of staff and they were all very friendly but they lacked a bit of focus in dealing with our requests. Nevertheless, I will go back there again and again since it’s such a lovely and tasty place to dine in London.
