The Savoy Grill in City of London, Westminster

Siamo stati bene ringrazio Vincenzo il sommelier ,carne molto buona e anche crepes al grand Marnier scenografica .Prezzo giusto per il posto

What an absolutely fabulous meal and service at lunch (11.01.25.) From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble, our train was delayed and they pushed our reservation back. Nico & team were pleasant and friendly but not intrusive. Where do I begin on the food & drinks the best we have all had. We all had a cocktail I can highly recommend the Savoy Grill Renaissance, I usually drink French Martini but this was a step up. We also order drinks not on the menu which was no problem. We had a French 75 it was delightfully fresh. We chose the a la carte menu and it did not disappoint. The sourdough and marmite butter blended effortless together with a toffee type taste. Our starters of steak tartare, the butternut squash veloute (mine) was so smooth, favour full especially with the mushrooms & apple pieces. Friends had steak tartare, salmon but the show stopper was the soufle that never collapsed, faulted in its consistency. For mains we had chateaubriand which was amazing! The rub and cooking of the chateaubriand was faultless. Friends had the superb beef wellington cooked to their choosing. The knives glided through the meat. All the sauces and side dishes were complimentary to our mains. We had a break between mains and dessert as we were full, no problem. We were then given a show by Nico on how to make flambé crepes its was great part of the lunch and tasted superb, you were able to taste the favour of the Grand Marnier, the orange came through but not overpowering for my taste. I shared the tart tatin and the apples were something else soft, sweet, and the salted caramel and ice cream was a mouthful of something special. Better than experienced in France. We finished off our trip in the American bar with final cocktails and coffee, I great way to finish an amazing meal. I cannot recommend it enough.

Lovely restaurant, Excellent service. Food was good, not exceptional. I had read about the Souffle Arnold Bennett that Gordon Ramsey had introduced. It was nicely made, good sauce but lacking in smoked haddock. My Dover sole was a bit dry which was disappointing. My wife's soup and steak tartare were excellent. A very expensive lunch which was OK but not memorable. Nice to do it but back to Rules next time.

From start to finish we were treated like we were very special guests. The staff cannot do enough for you, and their knowledge of the menu and every dish is fantastic. The food did not disappoint. I went for the beef wellington which was utterly amazing for the taste buds! A real treat. We were all impressed with our dishes. It was my mum’s birthday and she was brought out a beautiful chocolate gift which they boxed for her to take home too. Honestly this experience is a real treat and a must for any special celebration if you want to have perfect food and to feel special. Thierry and Santosh deserve an extra special mention. Their hard work and dedication to their jobs made my mums 70th birthday very very special. Thank you!

After reading a few reviews I was a bit nervous about booking, but I most certainly shouldn’t have been. From the moment we arrived we were given a very warm welcome, which continued throughout our meal. The staff were so warm friendly and helpful which really made our experience. The food was absolutely delicious and we left full to the brim. The atmosphere was sophisticated but one which made you feel at ease. The soufflé was a perfect way to start, moving onto the beef wellington which I’ve wanted to try at the savoy for years, and which certainly didn’t disappoint. Sublime. We finished our meal with a smashing tarte tatin to share which was very generously portioned. All in all I would heartily recommend for a special meal, in of course very special surroundings being at the Savoy. As you enter the Savoy you feel like you’re stepping into a wonderful bubble of good food and surroundings. Of course it’s not the cheapest place in London, but I have no qualms about that for a special treat of a meal. All in all a terrific meal.

Had lunch here as in town for the darts, Staff were polite and reasonably quick with taking orders, The food was beautiful, as it should be as to what its costs and who’s restaurant I is. Salmon starter and beef wellington signature dish was had by me and my wife. Both really enjoyed it, drinks again are Expensive but again it’s what it is. Been there and tried it now so one off the list. Definitely worth a visit if you like This sort of experience. There is a service charge included in the bill so just be aware of it!

Beautiful atmosphere, expert service and perfect pacing for fine dining.started with pumpkin soup then beef Wellington and lobster. Wonderful wine selection.

Thank you for making our Christmas day so special. Amazing food and service (it felt like we had our own exclusive waiter and nothing was any trouble). A live singer would have been a nice touch, which is what other venues have provided on Christmas Day, hence the 4 stars, but maybe I am being picky as the atmosphere was excellent complemented by the booth you kindly gave us.

The food was spectacular! We ordered the braised rabbit croquette and the smoked salmon for starters. Then the signature Beef Wellington for mains and a side of fries each. Surprisingly, we were quite full....it don't look like much but they were very generous on the fries which we appreciated. (Great fries by the way, it has a nice airy crisp to them and didnt feel heavy.) The food was perfect but the service? I'm not so sure. It wasn't bad but we didn't exactly feel welcomed. It seemed as if the staff questioned all our choices. We requested a side of smoked paprika seasoned fires each on the side for our beef wellington. The waiter asked if we are sure about that choice as there is "pomme puree" with the beef wellington. We are aware as we can see on the menu but "pomme puree" which is essentially mash potatoes taste very different to paprika seasoned fries. He might have been genuine but he kind of gave us a pretentious look with that. Also we had a waitress ask us for our drinks order. I wanted a sweet wine, I can tell its sweet because it says in the description. The waitress asked if I'm sure because its a dessert wine. I am also aware but she also seemed to give a pretentious look. Again, they may think they are trying to take care of us but we are aware of the costs and spending the money, it would be nice to not be questioned and get judged about it. The service charge was quite high. We actually opted out of it. The waiter seemed very surprised. We don't mind paying the service charge but we actually think they did the bare minimum. If we weren't questioned then we probably would have considered paying half.

Had a fantastic lunch at the Savoy grill , great food and service. Special mention to Emanuel the sommelier who was knowledgeable , funny and went out of his way to make our time special 👌 Mat and Monica

The souffle as a starter was amazing, portion was generous enough to serve 2 people. As the main course was incredible, i know people come for the beef wellington but the fish was spectacular!

I visited the Savoy Grill with my wife on the 19th of December last year. Despite having stayed at the Savoy a number of times previously, we had never dined there. We have really been missing out on a great dining experience! The team at the Grill were very welcoming, attentive, and professional, and we had a superb evening. My wife had the cauliflower tarte fine, and I had a steak. The food was superbly cooked, and we highly recommend the Xoco Mayan Red Chocolate Soufflé for dessert. Thanks for an excellent evening.

Absolutely amazing. Could not fault on any level. Staff, food, atmosphere and decor , all you could wish for

Lived up to my expectations. We stayed at the savoy for 3 nights just before Xmas. Was on the bucket list to order the beef Wellington at this famous restaurant. Service and food were fantastic. Good job Gordon 👨‍🍳

One of the best dining experiences ever. It was a great place to celebrate our 20th anniversary. The staff even made a personalized card for us, which was misplaced but eventually found, thank goodness

Food was excellent. Service was good. I guess I should have tried that soufflé, though. The decor is fantastically posh, classic.

Food here doesn’t disappoint and the service is top.

food Main course of signature Beef Wellington and Pan-fried Cod with Spinach Wraps The steak is so tender that even a non-steak eater like me would want to take another bite. The mushroom sandwich with puff pastry and filling makes me want to eat another roll just by asking. The cod and spinach rolls are just average. The price is higher than the steak. They taste very ordinary and have no special features. For appetizers, I ordered pumpkin soup and cold cuts of smoked salmon. The thick soup is very sour. I personally don’t like it. Cold cut salmon was average Not as good as the cold smoked salmon at Pineapple Market I chose apple pie for dessert because the portions are quite large. There were so many desserts that I almost couldn’t eat them all, but to be honest, they were still delicious. The ingredients are very practical and very sweet and delicious. The crust is moderately soft and hard The service is average and the environment is suitable for dating I think I would give this restaurant 4 stars because of the steak But the price of other food is not worth it

We had a wonderful experience here for our Boxing Day dinner. We both had the Wellington and shared the mashed potatoes, broccoli and mushrooms. All three sides I wish I could get the recipe for and elevated the already delicious beef Wellington! When our bill came there was an error and they quickly resolved it with top tier hospitality. If going out on a special date night, put a dress and/or suit and tie on, and book this spot! We also got a curved booth which was romantic and timeless and lovely. We will absolutely visit this lovely establishment again!

Bougie. Overpriced food, which is barely passable as edible. If that's your thing by all means you'll love it. Atmosphere is what you'd expect, dark and upscale looking. Service is definitely on point but doesn't make up for boring food.

Quite expensive and the food is decent but without the WoW factor. The signature dish beef wellington was a but underwhelming while the veal tasted better overall.

An impressive menu that impressed everyone with its creativity, quality and perfect craftsmanship! • Appetizer (teriyaki-glazed pork knuckle and foie gras terrine) The combination of tender braised pork knuckle with a sweet and spicy teriyaki glaze and the rich, velvety foie gras terrine was simply sublime. The flavors harmonized perfectly and the sophisticated presentation made this appetizer a real highlight. • Main course (Beef Wellington with side dishes) The Beef Wellington was a masterpiece: golden brown and crispy on the outside, perfectly tender and pink on the inside. The side dishes, especially the creamy potato component and the caramelized chicory, rounded off the dish perfectly. The sauce was intense and full of flavor – a successful main course that lived up to the highest standards. • Dessert (truffle ice cream in a waffle cone) A truly extraordinary conclusion! The truffle ice cream was incredibly creamy and had a subtle, subtle truffle note that harmonized perfectly with the delicate waffle. A bold yet elegant combination that left a lasting impression. This menu was a thoroughly successful experience, impressing with its perfectly balanced flavors and impeccable presentation. Absolute recommendation! Despite having a reservation, we had to wait almost an hour for our table, which unfortunately dampened the anticipation somewhat at the beginning. Conclusion: An absolute culinary highlight, but the service should be optimized when organizing reservations.

A nice initial impression, but food very mediocre, the cheese soufflé was ok but strong smell and taste of the fish with it was extremely off putting, the beef wellington was nice, but the potato puree had no truffle in it but a raw shallot on top instead and was similar to hospital mash. Coffee was lovely but should be at £13 a cup, a very expensive meal with a £40 service charge disappointing, I would not return.

I bought vouchers on the website for the grill tasting experience. I paid what they charged. The earliest table available was 9pm, but it wasn’t ready so sent to the American Bar to wait which was no problem. We were informed 25 minutes later the table would be ready in another 5-10 minutes. We specifically asked whether that translated to get another drink or realistically wait for wine at the table. No, get another cocktail. 10 seconds later the table is ready. Ok. No sign of anyone bringing the drinks up and then downstairs for us despite the table now being 30 minutes late. The wine list is ridiculous. It’s either £65-90 a bottle or £1000s a bottle. Mid range doesn’t exist. Food was nice, nothing great but not bad. Service was polite but dismissive - had to pour our own wine and they gave up after the first glass of tap water. The kicker was the bill. The set menu for which I bought vouchers, from them, was apparently £10pp more expensive. When I asked why, I was told, maybe it’s because it’s Christmas. I bought these vouchers direct from the Savoy/Ramsay. I paid what they charge. I bought them as a present for my sister. They clearly didn’t expect the purchaser to be a guest. To add extra for unsuspecting guests purely because their meal is prepaid is outrageous. With the 15% service charge, the extra, unexplained charge, donations etc a present becomes quite expensive. This place is clearly catering for tourists and residents of the hotel that hopefully have more money than sense. Such a shame that Ramsay’s in Hospital Road is so good but apparently he’ll put his name to any tripe these days.

Really enjoy to have eraly Christmas lunch here! Nice food, Nice service! Kid friendly.

Can't go wrong with this London classic, Mr Ramsay has perfected the Wellington! Sides, often overlooked by many were not here, they were equally as delicious as the mains! Pricey but well worth every penny, food is excellent and service was amazing!

I am disappointed with this restaurant. Although the atmosphere and location is outstanding, I think this restaurant is part of a wider trend where the owner believes that it is enough to have a designer for your venue and some standardised gourmet dishes to be successful. I have 0 reasons to go back there. The food was OK, but servings were ridiculously small (even for gourmet standards…), and the taste was not unique. Prices as expected very high. Additionally the manager did not even help my wife to wear the coat after brining it from the cloakroom. I have been eating at luxury restaurants since I was born, I am not convinced about this. Of course this is just my personal experience.

Visited with my 2 friends for afternoon tea and it was absolutely wonderful! The food was delicious, the staff friendly and helpful and the ambiance was perfect! Can’t wait to return

Absolutely delicious, amazing service and beautifully decorated for Christmas!

Obviously a lovely location and experience, but did feel a little rushed which was a shame.

Lovely Christmas treat afternoon tea with friends, great service 👍🏽

My husband and I had the Festive afternoon tea at the Gallery , Savoy Hotel and what a wonderful experience it was . From entering the building one was greeted and guided through to our seats where the server for our experience was Sia. She really could not do enough for us. She explained the menus and drinks . We had the vegetarian menu and champagne . In the background we were entertained by the pianist and Christmas songs from the singer . The staff also brought over a cake to celebrate my birthday ! 5 star+ experience , fabulous food ,drink and ambiance .We would highly recommend a visit.

We weren’t aware that the foyer had been renovated, the atrium is no longer there & therrs a bar in the middle! Not as nice as previous years! Hardly any Xmas decorations. Quite disappointing. Will be looking elsewhere for next Christmas

Absolutely bitterly disappointed I went to claridges two weeks ago and really wish I had booked to go back there. This was a special treat for my Neices 40th birthday and we left underwhelmed. The staff at claridges were much more attentive and to be honest the quality of the afternoon tea far superior.We asked for more sandwiches for three of us and we’re given four sandwiches to share out. I asked about a taxi and got no answer I also said we had to get a train could we have a carrier bag to put the take home cake box in didn’t get one, didn’t have to ask twice at Claridges. Also the bill was put down didn’t even get chance to look at it when the card machine was thrust upon me, very rude. Sorry Savoy you need to raise the bar. Overall a dissatisfied expensive experience !!!

We went for festive afternoon tea at the Gallery on Saturday 14th December. The food was fantastic. The service was impeccable. A special shout out to Alejandro. She was amazing and made us feel so welcome. She is a star. Thank you for making our day so special :)

Wonderful afternoon tea ….beautiful surroundings exceptional service by Karmen lovely entertainment the singer and pianist were amazing

A lovely festive tea. We had dreadful issues getting to The Savoy with nightmares on the tube and were 45 mins late. We rang to tell them and staff were wonderful- kept our table for us and were not rushed at all to get through our tea Big thank you to the staff for that. Service was excellent from Guiseppe- explained everything and very attentive..Got a second helping of sandwiches for no extra cost. Delicious. Especially liked the egg brioche. Lemon curd was also a winner with the scone ! Also very happy for us to take home the cakes we couldn't finish in beautiful box. Our table was lovely- round and in the corner. Savoy beautifullly decorated and a wonderful Christmas treat. In my view the refurbishment is fantastic. Absolutely love The Savoy - our go to place for special occasions.

The beef wellington here was really great! The other foods are not impressive though.

Beautiful decor. Lovely afternoon tea. Really enjoyed it.

There is no festive feeling at all in the gallery. Felt rushed. The waitress Katrina was impatient with our elderly guest. The gluten free afternoon tea wasn’t very full for paying the same price and very little substitutes. Very disappointed

Hotel was Very crowded but expected at holiday time. Renovations were lovely. Confusion with our reservation due to common last name however Amna helped us and waited over her shift a little bit to ensure we were properly seated. Francesca our server was amazing. Even the training server who brought over our tea from Spain was amazing. Food never disappoints. Overall as always amazing time. Well worth the money.

It was delightful! I loved everything, the plesent and warm service, the magnificent place, the tasty food, especially the scones and cakes. Perfect experience!

Fabulous, 1st class service and food. Highly recommend

Festive tea- nothing really festive about this tea, before refurb the ambience was lovely, now very corporate. Last year, carol singers and a lovely Christmas vibe, this year no carols, crackers or festive cheer. Left to stand at reception until exact time of booking despite our table being empty! Only 5 chairs and tricky for elderly relatives. £600 for a high tea over within 90 minutes, not worth it.

Lovely place to enjoy a special family occasion. We opted for high tea. Fabulous food, and ambience was lovely; pianist excellent. Surroundings and Christmas decorations were absolutely gorgeous! The women at the reception desk were warm, friendly and welcoming! However, the cloakroom was very disorganised, people getting changed there, changing their shoes, brushing their hair etc, long wait to check our coats and then again to collect them. My champagne glass was dirty, which was changed swiftly by our waiter. There wasn't an acknowledgement of my daughter's 30th birthday, which was disappointing, and we waited 20 minutes for our second pot of tea. Overall, very enjoyable but I expected a better service for the price. I would still recommend it as a lovely, memorable experience.

Good was nice staff very attentive but not over bearing

It was a truly wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend visiting this lovely venue. Many thanks

Fabulous setting, layout and service. Pricey but understandable. Quality of food excellent. Staff were the real stars, helpful, friendly and accommodating

If you are celebrating and want to do it with afternoon tea then this is a good one to go for. Service was exemplary and the sandwiches, savouries, scones and cakes were everything they should be.

Festive afternoon tea was dainty small portions but filling. If you eat with your eyes you would think it's not enough but you struggle towards the end as you are full. Constant tea of many varieties What you don't eat you can take home in a souvenir take out box. The staff are very attentive. I was a little disappointed with the decor as it didn't feel very christmasy

Decor in Savoy over Christmas alone is worth the experience - but food was amazing, and beautifully presented. We had the festive high tea and kids loved the Christmas themed food. Service was a bit slow at times as it was incredibly busy. But overall a wonderful experience of afternoon tea - and the food was delicious. Well worth the somewhat exorbitant price for a very special experience.

As usual we enjoyed the savoy afternoon tea. We have been doing this for a few years now and my only negative is that the new look that you have created is nice, but my family and I preferred the old style of decor and ambience with the piano in the middle

Food was very good. But we did not like being squished in for two per table. Had to move table to get in and out. Plus £28 for service charge is extortionate.

My daughter and I were in London for the weekend and We went to the gallery for a little Christmas treat. The lobby decor is lovely. Our waitress was lovely, the food was less than average, the bread was cold like it has been in the fridge, lobster rolls were ok, not well seasoned, the pizza was terrible , the chicken Cobb salad was unremarkable with freezing hard chicken. Dessert was nice. I asked for an American to finish and got a pot of horrible tasting pour over or filter coffee and as a Coffee lover could not believe that was produced to me. As i said the waitress was lovely but this was an overpriced terrible food experience.

Service was a dream as was the food. Surprisingly noisy and the foyer was too busy with queues at the cloakroom. Worth it, though.

À lovely experience from start to finish. Good service without being over intrusive. The sandwiches and cakes were delicious with extras offered if required. Tea was replaced/topped up as required. Could not find any fault.

Absolutely amazing experience. Definitely recommend. Superb!!!!

Fantastic service from Sia. Great atmosphere to enjoy a festive afternoon tea.

Took my god daughter and her sister for a Christmas treat and it did not disappoint. It was just lovely

Really great afternoon tea, we really enjoyed ourselves and were made to feel special by staff

We were served 3 small sandwiches and 4 small cakes plus tea and 2 glasses of champagne in a very noisy environment! We bookef rhe afternoon tea after having seen a tv program from the Savoy, showing a very nice christmad environment with a christmas tree tjat would be installed at the end of November , according to your homepage! The dekoration this year was white with angels and looke like a funeral! The dress code did apparently not exist anymore, while our yable beside were wearing jeans! No value for money!

Had the best time! Hope it will be a Christmas tradition from now on 😊

I would like to thank Ione, the person who served and looked after us during our afternoon tea, she made our night! The food was great, the ambience was good also. Although, I understand where we are dining, the food cost was reasonable but £66 for two glasses of Champagne was over the top! This together with 20% VAT and 15% service charge took the shine of it however much your worth!

Seated 20 minutes after our time no apology. Food is good but when you are paying £95 for four finger sandwiches, 4 small cakes, 2 scones & a mini mince pie then it needs to be. We had the high tea and found both the scallops and duck dishes were very good. The venue is fantastic however what was very disappointing was the service, being the The Savoy I expected top notch service, unfortunately it was far from it, we were never offered water for the table, we were never asked whether everything was ok, never asked if we wanted more drinks, dirty tea pots were left sitting on the table, we had to ask for teaspoons and cutlery, it took 30 mins for the patties to arrive after the warm food, we still had pastries left when we were told our time was up! The. cost for 3 people was £452 including service charge.

Thank you for a wonderful experience, celebrating my Mam's early 60th birthday celebrations! The staff went above and beyond to ensure we all had a great time. At first, we had two tables and were sat far away from each other, but the staff moved us swiftly to seat us together. It was so appreciated. We will definitely return in future!

The savoy gallery is absolutely stunning ! they had the most amazing singer ! she was fabulous!!!!!! the service was slow , we had to keep asking for things . The food was average , nothing fantastic!

Our night at the Savoy Grill might have been the best meal we’ve ever had - even better than our previous visits. Thanks so much to all the staff who made it an unforgettable evening.

I love the savoy but am trying to be honest as it’s a new restaurant. The staff are amazing here, can not fault! Very attentive and helpful. The one thing that let it down was the fact that the menu is not explained well and is not self explanatory, some items are enough for one. Others are meant to share but you arnt to know this looking at the menu. The tikka pie tastes amazing but only comes along as a single giant pie enough for 3 people with some peeled raw carrot and cucumber, whilst the burger on same ‘big plate’ section was just a regular sized burger with chips for one. The Mac and cheese was very nice, but again enough to share between 2 or 3 despite being on the peckish/grazing menu which we took as smaller dishes and were told could act as starters.. The pizza was a normal sized pizza however was not my favorite, didn’t taste amazing considering the establishment. The Mille feuille desert finally had (serves 2) in brackets which helped, however it would have easily served 3 and I think would be better with chocolate glaze instead of a stick of hard chocolate on top as it is as it’s a lot of the same flavour else. The decor is beautifully done and it has a lovely atmosphere, it just wasn’t clear as to what you were ordering or how the menu was supposed to be similar to tapas and shared, and there was little indication as to how big or small things were, items are separated into ‘pekish’ ‘grazing’ and ‘big plates’ however after ordering items from each I have no clue what the difference was meant to be, and it isn’t clear when reading menu. Some simple explanations on menu would be very helpful !! Otherwise a lovely place.

The food was great, especially the sandwiches. Service was a bit spotty compared to other London tearooms. But the the real turnoff was the atrocious live singing. Much better to go with just a piano.

As usual the service was absolutely amazing and made even more special by the special attention given to us by our fabulous waitress Ione. She was excellent. Extremely personable and very attentive. We always enjoy the savoy so don’t go anywhere else as it beats all the others hands down. See you in the new year.

Wonderful remodeling, wonderful food and great service. It would have been nice to not be reminded of the allotted time allowed so many times but we understand there are other reservations and we did go over our reservation about 17 minutes. But we were reminded about 20 times from the time we sat down. We were Very aware from the first time being told. But when the bill is over 800£ i’d expect a more chill environment regarding that. Otherwise everything and everyone was lovely and I would HIGHLY recommend going to the Savoy for everything they offer. ❤️

We went for the Afternoon Festive Tea & it was delightful! I would recommend to other!

Unfortunately I can only agree with the previous reviews. It is absolutely overrated. The Beef Wellington only tasted like truffles and not in a good way. The taste of the mashed potatoes was ok, but the consistency was bad. It appears to have been made with a wand rather than tamped - a huge paste. The spinach was hard and not seasoned. Without the delicious Rabitroll I would award even fewer points. And the staff did NOT ask if and how you liked it. Very unfortunate and very disappointing. Addendum - a day later we were at 45 Jermyn St. Here the beef Wellington, potatoes and vegetables were great.

The soup that we took as starter was too sweety and you cant even taste mushrooms. Beef wellington was not a beef wellington, they changed the covering part with mushroom-chicken pate which was disgusting. Beef was good but if we wanted to eat only beef we did not eat this waste. Christmas puding was bad. Only one good thing was souffle, it was tasty. Service waiters were kind and good, however water glass they bring to the table was dirty, we asked them to change it this time they brought another less dirty ne glass which i let it go. I never been there this was the first time. Maybe it was a good restaurant in the past but it does not worth right now.

A delicious afternoon tea in fantastic surroundings.

I was there for afternoon tea and a visit after their recent renovation. The hotel and the dining room are beautiful, but the tea itself did not live up to the memories I had of it from living in London many years ago. It was nice food and tea but not sure it was worth the $130 per person. Maybe once just to experience it again but probably not for a while.

Afternoon tea at the newly opened Gallery was excellent. Francesca looked after us superbly explaining what everything was and what our choices were. Various packages range from the afternoon tea to other Les such as adding champagne and some main meals in the middle. There’s even a vegetarian choice. Service as I’ve said was outstanding. For tea lovers there are 3 pages of teas from black to green and fruit varieties. All served on Savoy Gallery plates echoing the lantern roof in the middle of the room. Sandwiches and savoury treats are first and the sweet offering of deliciously rich chocolate, scones, festive mince pies and cream, jam and lemon curd. Tea topped up all through listening to the lovely pianist. In the evenings there is often a singer.

Fantastic treat. Refined luxury as we had hoped. Service was wonderful- just the right balance between being attentive and not being intrusive. A special mention to Rebecca who looked after us- she will sail through her training at this rate and is a credit to the Savoy. Mention also to the wonderful pianist.

Took my partner here for our anniversary and i was absolutely taken away by the service we recieved! Compliments to the staff they treated us very nicely throughout our whole stay. I particularly enjoyed the beef wellington as well as the steak tartare! Will definently be coming back in the future

This is the 4th time we have visited for afternoon tea, this time since the refit the service form staff is not what it used to be to be.

The new gallery is beautiful but they have massively increased the number of tables and they are now incredibly close together so you can hear everything people are talking about on the tables next to you which makes it a little uncomfortable. Also the new table arrangement means someone is facing a wall whilst the other gets to enjoy the beautiful decor of the room. Previously tables were spaced out and everyone on the table got a decent view with how tables were angled. The food however remains impeccable. Delicious afternoon tea treats and amazing selection of teas.

Fabulous experience in the gorgeous new Gallery at the Savoy. Would not hesitate to return. Ione was a total pleasure.

The Thames Foyer at the Savoy no longer exists which is a shame as we have spent many happy hours there over the past 11 years and on over thirty separate occasions. Now The Gallery has replaced it which we are told has been many months in planning and execution. It looks superficially very stunning, light and bright with comfortable chairs, however the tables are much smaller as are the plates. You are now sat incredibly close to other guests and, as a result of this, your conversations are no longer private. This was previously never a problem and privacy was one thing you were guaranteed at the Thames Foyer. Overall it is noisier too. There are more tables and fewer staff who are working incredibly hard to serve you, but all they can actually do is bring food and drink to the tables. For the first time we were expected to pour our own tea rather than be served, this would have been ok if the teapots actually poured but none did and every time we filled our cups we risked scalding ourselves with hot fluids. As it is, the tablecloth became soaked. The sandwiches were delicious, the breads were soft and fresh and interesting. Tasty fillings and also different savoury bites made this course absolutely fantastic. They were very generous with refills too. The scones have not changed, nor has the jam, curd and cream options. The pastries were very similar to any you get at this type of afternoon tea and overall quite bland but pretty enough. The Savoy is not one of the easiest locations to get to. Now all its previous unique service for afternoon tea is no longer on offer customers can choose to go anywhere else for an identical afternoon tea experience across London at a similar price point. A lot will come down to personal preference but I do not think overall that the Savoy’s refurbishment has been worth waiting for and I am not in a hurry to return. This is a shame as the staff are lovely and willing to serve, they just no longer have the opportunity to do this.

Beautifully decorated. Food was delicious. 10/10 do recommend.

Amazing service, ambience and food! Beautiful Savoy for a Christmas treat, Thankyou!

It was my wife’s birthday so we went to the Savoy Grill for lunch to celebrate. Nearing Christmas there were beautiful decorations in the Savoy lobby. We were greeted and coats taken, showed to our table and served drinks. Having ordered our starter and main, we enjoyed the atmosphere Given bread and some butter, we didn’t wait too long for our first course. Delicious of course, our drinks were topped up regularly. Mains were so yummy we both finished everything and looked forward to our deserts. All our food was presented in good time, looked amazing and was very delicious. My wife was presented with a chocolate wishing her a happy birthday. Being a fan of Gordon Ramsay, my wife asked to see the kitchen and we were shown around. We were so impressed by the efficiency of each section, and the chef chatted with us. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience and we have decided to come back. We look forward to seeing you a few times a year. Richard & Maxine

Such a lovely experience from start to finish All of the staff so Friendly..our waitress named Ione was just lovely and a credit to the Savoy.. Thank you Ione for looking after us. Mark and Pauline Stevenson

Overall good value for the money spent . Thank you to all for making my visit an absolute pleasure.

Excellent vegan festive afternoon tea... Same selection as others which I love! Everything was amazing and loved the constant topping up of tea.

Exquisite in every way a bucket list item that exceeded my expectations outstanding service magical

Wonderful afternoon tea. Very attentive staff kindly took dietary requests and celebration of special occasion in to account. Absolutely perfect experience.

Unfortunately very poor service. No salt and pepper when serving bread. No napkin service Using poor trainees to serve without any supervision

An amazing experience we had hoped for. The ambiance was beautiful and we had the best server Daniel. We are visiting from California and has been the highlight of our trip

Gorgeous settings, our waitress Chloe exceptionally good service, she is very professional, absolutely adorable. The food brilliant. We absolutely loved it. Wonderful experience

Beautiful setting with lovely Christmas decorations for our afternoon tea. Friendly and attentive staff. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

A lovely Christmas afternoon tea. Delicious food, fabulous service and great atmosphere.

Superb decor, wonderful service, difficult to fault.

We loved our afternoon tea! We’re both a little fussy and the staff always cater for our needs (swapping sandwiches to ones we prefer with no issues). The new layout is lovely, my only concern is the tables are not as spacious as they were previously and the gap between tables isn’t too big, it would be nice to have a little more room as previously (before renovations) I believe the table size and space around was one of the best things about the gallery. We will always re visit though as it is still such a good experience.

This was our first Afternoon tea we ever experienced. The atmosphere and the festive vibe helped to feel even more exited. The food was on exceptional level. Big shout out to our server - Emma. She was truly very helpful, professional, knowledgeable, funny, smiling and genuine in her communication with us. I couldn't imagine someone else giving us better service.
