Savoy Grill - Savoy Hotel (Strand)

• The Gordon Ramsay tag provides an assurance of high quality that is almost always met
• The service is very pleasant
• The restaurant interior is a little corporate and this is certainly reflected in the calibre of the other diners decked out as they are in smart suits and sharp tailoring
• Today we're here with an offer 3 courses &
• One of us is Vegetarian and the starters offer more than just the 1 obligatory Vegetarian option which is a pleasant surprise
• I opt for Gazpacho and it is both tart and sweet at the same time
• No such complaints were directed towards the Baked Beetroot salad which was a perfect balance of flavours
• The most generous praise was leveled at the Onion tart
• I didn't fare too much better with dessert I opted for a Summer Berry Millefeuille
• Unfortunately the presentation was the best part of this dish
• The cream was dense with little to no berry flavour and far too dense to be compared to a light airy summer dessert
• Again (And this was starting to get annoying)
• Her ordering talents were superior to mine and I heroically resisted from simply demolishing hers
• My friend and I had two entirely different experiences the service was helpful and charming we both agreed
• A mixed bag and so all I can say is that I'm glad we had a special deal to take advantage of
• So the expectations were at the top
• I feel that maybe I've put them too high and I was a bit disappointed with the Savoy
• The room and service is a little bit intimidating
• At first they kindly welcomed us and that was really nice
• I tried as a starter a plate with all the different appetizers
• The main courses were good with the exception of my plate but that was my plate
• The dessert was also really good
• We were the last to leave the restaurant that night and they were extremely polite to wait until we were done to start cleaning up
• We ended up with a total bill of £
• Atmosphere was the best part about Savoy Grill - Savoy Hotel (Strand)
• Mixed grill and cottage pie were nothing special and the sides of mixed greens and cauliflower cheese did not fare any better
• I have slowly become obsessed with the notion of afternoon tea
• So when Aanchal told me she was visiting London
• The first thing I did was ring up the Savoy and book us in for a spot of tea and sandwiches in their absolutely gorgeous Thames Foyer
• I always walk past the stunning Thames Foyer en route to the other restaurants but have never actually eaten in there so was quite excited about our visit
• The recently refurbished Thames Foyer is very much the heart of the Savoy
• Complete with a stunning glass dome with an oversized garden gazebo beneath it
• Add to that the pianist serenading you with some stunning tunes
• 50) which comes with a selection of finger sandwiches
• 52.50) which is great if you don&rsquo
• T have a sweet tooth and comes with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toast along with crumpets instead of the scones and pastries
• The Savoy is a member of the Tea Guild and has received the Award of Excellence multiple times and you can see why with your very first sip
• The tea menu here is extensive but the staff here are more than hap
• Pleasent service with very caring employees
• The classic summer puding is not so good
• Maybe the meat was a little to well done for my taste but very good anyway
• The value for money is what you would expect from this kind of restaurants
• We had afternoon tea at The Thames Foyer which had a beautiful glass dome with comfortable sofas and a pianist serenading guests
• The service was absolutely spot on and the selection of sandwiches and cakes / pastries was plentiful
• The sandwiches were salmon and creme fraiche
• We asked in advance for no egg sandwiches and they were absolutely fine with that
• The scones with clotted cream and jam were absolutely beautiful and there was a huge selection of cakes
• Had a lunch special that was affordable with a good selection of food
• Another good Gordon Ramsey Restaurant with a lunch special
• I chose the beef Wellington menu and it was one of the best meals I've ever had
• The onion soup was also delicious
• It is a beautiful traditional English hotel and at Christmas time it is extra special with its festive decorations
• The Opentable offer was for a 4 course Truffle Escoffier evening for £
• The restaurant was full and had a great buzzy atmosphere
• Next we were served Linguini Pasta with Black Truffle
• Pasta with Truffle is clearly one of those perfect matches made for each other
• Bone marrow on toast with Black Truffle
• The other choice on the menu was Braised Wild Halibut with pumpkin and black truffles
• It is very difficult to surprise us with new mixes of flavours
• The dessert was called Tutti Frutti Bombe
• Was a slight twist of the 1970s Baked Alaska that which was flambé
• The outer meringue was quite sweet
• The Tutti Frutti ice cream inside really was a 'blast from the past'
• We were then served chocolate truffles and tiny mince pies which were actually delicious
• All in all the meal was very tasty and we all agreed that the restaurant and meal was a very good 8/10 and we would all definitely go back to have the Tournedos Bearnaise Beef again
• Everything was a bit flat waiters very anxious to get order and seemed to lack it usual class The steak was tough and over salted so was the sauce
• The Savoy Grill is a very pleasant restaurant
• The service is top notch &ndash
• The wine list is extensive with some nice surprises
• The famous Beef Wellington is made with exceptional meat
• It may not be london's best restaurant
• The service is excellent attentive with a touch of theatric flare
• I had the baked Hereford snails to start they are served de shelled with garlic and red wine
• I had the Sole Victoria served on a bed of spinach and topped with shaved black truffle
• Menu selection is not too varied
• Food safety is paramount in our dining experience
• The omelette Arnold Bennett and the Gordon Ramsay Beef Wellington were the highlights of the night
• Loud and large room with tables too big for intimacy
• The service was immaculate
• My champagne flute was never full unless I wanted it to be
• The only major con was the size of the table
• A visit if you are a big gang
• Had to reserve months in advance but still had to wait for our table although they were friendly about it
• T know how it was made at the time)
• Mains my brother had sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection
• The manager was really nice and got me another one which unfortunately was burnt all around so I could only eat the inside which was still nice (the manager didn&rsquo
• The potatoes were amazing but there was a layer of oil underneath and the fries were a bit too salty
• I had onions with my steak which were quite sour
• The desserts were cherry sorbet and macaroons
• My brother loved them both and I thought the sorbet was nice but the flavours were not my cup of tea
• The service was good and the food was okay
• They are kid friendly and and the staff is knowledgeable
