John SNovember 7, 2012One of my favourite restaurants in London. Definitely order for starters prawn and crab, for mains hake and monkish and for puddings apple tart and Kendal Mint ice cream. Fabulous staff, food & drinks
Joely TennantFebruary 11, 2018Great food and lovely staff! As a gluten and dairy free person I found that I could eat almost the entire menu (with a few changes) and the staff made us feel so welcome.
Oscar TrellesNovember 23, 2014Fancy cocktails and a limited but solid food menu with mostly small plates. You can make a meal out of the burger, which comes with a wedge salad, though; don't forget to ask for a steak knife.
Helder MendesSeptember 2, 2019The rib eye steak melts in you mouth. Dont miss the triple fried chips. The chocolate praline with salted caramel is to die for!
Rachel MercerAugust 20, 2014Definitely give the bee-keeper a try if you're here for drinks. If deciding between brunch and tea, always opt for brunch. And definitely try the Corned Beef Hash. It's exquisite.
Andy ThorntonNovember 9, 2013Don't be intimidated by the ostentatious surroundings, the staff are as warm and welcoming as the comfort food. The meringue, marmalade and custard snow egg takes like, well... a snowy egg!
Brad TAugust 26, 2014Service was outstanding. Drinks are inventive/good. Heirloom tom starter seemed like it was poached first (lil softer than it should have been) and the poached hake was perfectly cooked and delish.
Go for cocktails if you don't want to splash out on dinner, it's beautiful setting and they are really yummy
dygdnrAugust 9, 2013Proper, must try coctails. I like the vintage/classic outfits of the bartenders. It would be better if they had vintage-looking furniture too. The existing ones give more like a hotel lobby feel.
Ryan RossAugust 6, 2014One of the best places to take a date. Go at the golden hours for live piano whilst you eat. Pricey, but great value for what it is.
Louis VuittonMay 18, 2011Marcus Wareing's elegant British brasserie is open at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. Named after the building's original architect, Sir George Gilbert Scott - enjoy great British Classics! Read more
Anna FitzpatrickJune 30, 2014Wow!This venue knocked my socks off.wonderful Brunch with my son and friends.The Staff were marvellous.Great to be able to leave my suitcase with you whilst I enjoyed myself. BIG Thanks. X X
Ann ChasovikovaFebruary 23, 2017Burger sliders just perfect! Good match with Aviation/Corps revival from the cocktail card.
M UMarch 15, 2018Cocktail was the only taste I remember. Everything we ate was too ordinary. I’d expect something more from such a lovely place. 😕
The GuardianApril 26, 2012"Click to listen to developer Harry Handelsman praise the facade of the St Pancras Hotel while Gilbert Scott's memoir describes his work on the landmark London building." Read more- Brad TAugust 26, 2014I think I just overheard the waiter say we frown on taking leftovers home bc 'we cant guarantee the same quality as in restaurant'. Well duh. Plus, its my food so shut up.
LondonistAugust 2, 2013Try the Londonist cocktail. 1) Because it's cracking. 2) Because it's called The Londonist. Tell the bar staff we sent you.
David RosenbergMarch 24, 2014Achtung! This is not a late night spot. If you want to keep drinking, head to the Booking Office across the hall, open until the last people leave.
Pete KeeleyOctober 29, 2016Sat at the chefs table 7 courses with wine for each dish - bloody marvellous
Paul KardousOctober 11, 2011If you're in the area and looking for a drink, head here instead of The Booking Office. More intimate and better cocktails. Try the 1873 or an Old Fashioned.
Meredith HullFebruary 10, 2015Just the most beautiful beautiful bar- and surprisingly quiet. Good cocktails!
Lizzie POctober 24, 2017Incredible venue with ornate furnishings and high ceilings in The Renaissance Hotel. Perfect date spot 🥂
- Andy ThorntonNovember 9, 2013Top notch cocktails and traditional (Northern?) British grub with a twist.
Cass SwallowMay 13, 2015This place is drop dead gorgeous. Don't forget to ask to see the other food menu...
- The GuardianApril 25, 2012"A new Marcus Wareing joint was always going to be a big deal, but this grand location makes it even more special..." Read more
Ronald DLFebruary 21, 2012Very British... try any of the local veggies... ask for translation from the waiter if you don't recogognize the old English.
Stephen MakinNovember 13, 2011Have the sunday lunch special. Must be the best restaurant Sunday lunch in London
Brett WheelerJune 30, 2011Try the Egon Mess for dessert. It's a vibrant, delicious fruit dessert you'll love!
Kate 673March 4, 2017The staff did their best and even didn't charge me for the main course, but nothing could make up for the horrible food. Dripping in oil, really bad.
Jugged steak is amazing and the bartenders are all very knowledgeable!
Anna SzypkowskaMarch 8, 2019Angus cheek was good but dessert tasted like an ordinary vanilla ice cream. Ambiance is a bit dead though and staff is not very friendly.
Make sure the serving staff write down your order. We ordered ribeye steak and they delivered sirloin. Ruined our evening unfortunately- Glenfiddich Mark .February 12, 2012A fine range of malts behind the bar and friendly staff to serve it
Terri WadeJuly 9, 2011The Cullen Skink was lovely but it's cold soup - which came as a bit of a surprise!
