Great Lunch no need to say anymore

The food was very basic, the flavours were not exciting and some of the meat dry. The service was very good and all the food flew out of the kitchen however we booked for the dining room and were seated outside where there was limited atmosphere and it was quite cold

My friend and I had a lovely evening at St John. Bone marrow and parsley salad was a great start, I had braised rabbit as a main, which was delicious. My friend had tripe and chips, it was his first tripe and he enjoyed the experience. For dessert we had a bread and butter pudding which was possibly the best dessert I’ve ever had, and a rice pudding that was not on the menu but supplied generously by the accommodating staff. We had a bottle of St John’s own Macon which was light and delicious, and madeleines and dessert wine to finish which were lovely recommendations by the attentive and knowledgeable staff. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend St John, it was all that I’d hoped for.

Food was good, can’t go wrong with the bone marrow starter, however the wine list isn’t great and staff didn’t seem to know what best to suggest

Seamless service on the first night of the new 10pm curfew. Faultless.

Fantastic restaurant, always amazing food, friendly staff.

Been waiting to go here for a while and it did not disappoint! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout, especially with social distancing measure in place. The food was outstanding and the ambience was perfect!

Good food, one dish that didn’t hit the mark but removed from the bill. Great service. Felt very COVID-safe. A lovely meal. The madeleines were to die for.

Amazing food, incredible value for money. Wish we had room for dessert but it just means coming back again!

This is a gem of a restaurant and the food did not disappoint. We liked it so much we also went for Sunday lunch. This restaurant is all about the food and drink. The staff are efficient and attentive but not in an overbearing way and not stuffy like in some Michelin restaurants . It is reasonably priced considering the size of the portions and the richness of the food. Wish it was closer to home.

Never disappoints. Yum!!

Great that St John is up and running and firing on all 4 cylinders. The restaurant is serene and appealing, the service friendly and efficient and the food is great. The grey mullet was sublime and the madeleines as delightful as ever.

Good food served in a functional , utilitarian setting - enhanced by white table cloths. Food presented “as it comes” on canteen style plates and cutlery. My pork was very dry - but overall food simple but tasty. Staff would benefit from a bit more training/ finesse.

It was a really enjoyable meal - particularly the welsh black pie.

V v good . 100% recommend. Great service great food

A lovely Sunday lunch - I felt very comfortable with the C19 precautions they have taken. The wider spacing of the tables also brought the noise level down to a more comfortable level than I remember from previous visits. Delicious food, impeccably cooked - we had fish for both of our starters and mains and they absolutely sang with freshness and simplicity. Charming service, present without hovering.

Despite my main, there is much to love about this iconic restaurant including freshly baked madelines, excellent wine and the classic vibe that attracted me in the first place.

However, the special, the grouse was not a pleasant experience. I'm a fan of game but this had a lot of shot in it and was virtually raw (I am a fan of very rare meat) making it impossible to tackle and eat. It was such a shame as this was clearly the one in a thousand plates that this restaurant makes that wasn't quite right but for the price (£42) I was quite disappointed. I didn't say anything at the time as I didn't want to spoil the excellent vibe/other wonderful qualities about this restaurant. I left a tip because of the wonderful service, experience and the quite delightful dessert. My partner's meal was exceptionally good.

First meal out in London since lockdown with my son and girlfriend. A brilliant evening-sublime food and great service. All the distancing arrangements were well set out and adhered to and we felt very safe. A lovely, lovely experience. Highly recommended!

Smashing London institution that launched a whole generation of young talented chefs.

Great food. Great service. House bottle of Picpoul excellent.

Superb. Many have tried but nothing beats St John.

My husband was keen to try out St. John for a while and I booked this as a wedding anniversary celebration. It was not what was expecting. The setting and mood of the place was laid back, no pretentiousness. It was a great relaxed setting. Even though some of the dishes do include offal, which was the main reason why we booked it, there are enough dishes on the menu for those who are not as adventurous (or ready to be), such as fish and vegetarian dishes. The food was outstanding. It was just delicious and was so comforting. We were full, but not bloated, and ending the meal with freshly baked madelienes and some tea was a great way to finish. The staff were lovely, very welcoming and attentive. My husband and I are already planning on bringing family here for a meal because it is just such a relaxed environment, and the food is so good, and we've already recommended it to friends.

On the whole, if you are in the mood for trying something new with reasonable prices, this certainly is the place to go. It didn't disappoint and we'd thoroughly recommend it.

Usual great food and service. It's good to be back.

A fabulous evening at St John, food was exceptional and the service attentive but not intrusive. One of my favourite restaurants in London.

Excellent ingredients, well cooked and served. Not surprisingly ambience down on non COVID times so we missed the usual pre dinner relaxation at the bar.

Wonderful food as always, simple but thought provoking dishes made with seasonal ingredients. Service was attentive but not overbearing, and the staff were friendly and helpful (and gave us a great wine recommendation!). Still my favourite restaurant in London, and likely always will be.

Excellent service, food, and wine. Would love to come back!!

Everything was absolutely perfect! Sue was absolutely amazing and so helpful with wines. It was my boyfriend's birthday, and St.John is one of his favourite restaurants. It was my first time visit, and no way would be my last. Thank you chef!

St. John is just as good as ever. I preferred the relaxed style of the old bar food system, but the new tables are more comfortable than before and this and the quiet attention of the staff more than made up for it. My meal was more expensive than the bar meals I used to enjoy here, so I guess I’ll just have to go less frequently. The food, atmosphere and service were amazing as always. Still my favourite restaurant anywhere.

My favourite restaurant in London - never disappoints - the pig's head special was incredible and very satisfying.

Nice food, great service, would suggest a little more ambience though, like more candles etc., and the bone marrow dish to have a little more flavour. The salad that comes with it is very nice though.

Absolutely outstanding, as ever. The peach melba was - without exaggeration - the best dessert I have ever had.

Really great food and excellent service. Highly recommend.

Always love visiting St. John. Shame to see how Covid restrictions mean you cannot have a pre/post dinner drink at the bar but understandable!

The food and staff are wonderful, this is a great place to go for dinner

Fantastic food and service as usual. Felt safe and well looked after.

I think because we had a late reservation, a lot of the food on the menu wasnt available which was slightly disappointing. But St John in general is still one of the best, my favourite British restaurant in London!

Fabulous food. Delightful atmosphere. And all Covid-safe

Bravo!

Couldn’t have wanted for a better 50th dinner with my wife and kids.

Best Grouse I’ve had

Everything was nice. Dessert was unreal. Good wine list. Tough old pork chop though, bit disappointed by that.
