Galvin- The Athenaeum (Mayfair)

• The tea rooms are a mixture of the classic floral decorations with odd quirks thrown in for good measure bejewelled dogs and papier mache busts not something I see on a regular basis
• Hot Chocolates were also on offer for those who didn't really fancy the tea route
• The sandwiches were generous portions far larger than any finger sandwich with delicious meaty fillings that kept coming for as long as we kept eating them
• My favourite was the Ham with Red Onion marmalade
• The scones were still warm Orange Blossom with pieces of candied orange peel had a delicious almost marmalade y flavour and the plain served well with lashings of cream &
• Chatting with a friend over a delicate feast is all I ever crave when the skies open up
• The Athenaeum is a gorgeous
• The living wall is unlike anything i&rsquo
• Ve ever seen and is very hard to miss
• The tea room was relatively empty as it was reserved later for an evening event
• T be worth going to Afternoon Tea if every stand was filled with the same sandwiches followed by the same desserts and scones
• After our Scones and Crumpets were sampled with each one of the spreads
• A glorious tray was wheeled towards us
• I chose several of the cakes to sample and a delicious champagne jelly with fresh strawberries
• The service is like hit and miss perhaps more could be done with the standard of service and staffing
• Cakes decorated with a strawberry macaroon and one with strawberry victoria sponge were delicious
• The coffee here too is very good but the sandwiches were not very great
• The ambiance is fantastic and fun to be there
• The food tastes very good and is also presented very well
• The location of the place offers a spectacular view which is pleasing to the eyes

• Most recently to sample an afternoon tea and on a separate occasion to learn how the living wall was created and is maintained as part of the Chelsea Flower Show fringe
• We had dined here 2 years ago on a trip to London and found it was OK not outstanding
• As we were staying in the hotel we tried it once and were indifferent about the food and service
• We gave it another try but were even more disappointed with the service
• Our mains choices were crab lasagne cold pasta in some sort of gel left most of it on the plate and a pork chop that was served cool to cold and was very dry
• All is not lost the newly established bar is a great spot reasonable prices and staff with a great attitude club sandwich is a hit and atmosphere is good
• Had the food there a couple of times and the quality of the same dishes was not consistent which says a lot in itself
• Can be avoided as there are much better places in the vicinity
• All waiters was kind and helpful
• I ate the most delicious scones ever and I am not sure but will probably they are using Ronnefeldt teas
• After all I was really satisfied and my friends as well
• The Athenaeum is a five star London hotel in the heart of Mayfair and Piccadilly
• Galvin at The Athenaeum is the hotel&rsquo
• Beef burger) as there was a twist on the usual in that you get one mini burger and a hot dog (I managed to swap the Yellowfin tuna burger for an extra hotdog)
• The burger had a nice relish and thick patty with a nice crisp bun although the patty itself was a bit fatty for my liking
• The hot dog was really special with a crisp skin and a nice kick to the mustard
• The portion size was just right for lunch without leaving you too full and lethargic
• I loved the fact the sliders came with hot dog option as sometimes you just feel like street food but without having to wait in the street
• 18.00 and I washed this down with a Tropicano Mocktail at £
• Fruity and refreshing with a thick foam and served in a short glass
• Do bear in mind there are a number of other dishes on the main menus as well as items on the bar menu which is what I selected
• 28.00 for a light lunch you may think this is a little on the high side but I was happy with the food
• My other little criticism is that the burger patty was a bit fatty for my liking
