Everything about the meal was wonderful. The food was fitting of a Michelin star restaurant. It can only be described as exceptional. We had the five course tasting menu which was more like eight courses. The wine was also excellent and for a 125 cc glass was very good value. It was my wife's birthday and the staff made it totally memorable. I would recommend the Angler to the world! Gordon www.gordonlthomas.com

What an amazing night. Michelle and Zoe had the best time. Started by a great cocktail at the bar, then introduced to our table, followed by a fabulous 6 course taster with champagne, wine and great service from John, Pierre and the team ♥️

The food is sublime. We chose the 8 course tasting menu. Such an incredible blend of flavours in every dish. The fish was cooked to perfection. this has to be the best fish restaurant in London, if not the UK. Craig Johnstone has a phenomenal talent to producing some wonderful culinary masterpieces and it was an honour to meet and discuss his approach to his creations. The ambiance of The Angler is relaxed and as fine as the dishes and wines consumed and the care delivered by The Angler staff, makes it a truly personal experience.

A polite reminder that the restaurant is closing for the afternoon and suggesting we move to the bar downstairs would have been the right and professional way to politely ask us to leave, instead of making us feel uncomfortable. When it became clear the waiter wanted us to leave, we apologised (for staying a few minutes longer than the other table that had just left before us). Instead of responding politely to our apology the waiter did not say anything. Sorry, but that was rude. Especially if 15 % service charge is included already as standard. We will not be back.

The tasting menu was fantastic. Each dish explained in clear details by the waiter who was engaging. Another waiter served our wine and without being intrusive ensured our glass was topped up on a regular basis. A friendly team.

This top floor restaurant was perfect for a lunch with an old friend where we wanted space, great service and excellent food. We ate a la carte but were served a number of delicious little extras. I had stuffed fresh morels which were exquisite and John Dory with wild asparagus which was perfectly cooked. The restaurant was full enough to have a good vibe. All in all a fun and relaxing experience.

The whole experience was excellent. The food was almost as if there was a story with every bite. Each item had mutiple layers of flavour and complexity. I will be recommending to everyone.

This was a fabulous experience. The staff were SUPERB (very welcoming and informative) and the food was amazing. A slightly long delay on the delivery of dessert was the only thing that stopped service from getting 5 stars too. We have decided this will be our venue of choice for special events!

Well I didn't expect this restaurant much because there were a few not-good reviews about this restaurant. But I'm mistaken. All of their service was polite, warm, and professional. Especially Spyros's service made our night perfect. Great experience with a gorgeous restaurant!

A meal at Angler is always a splendid experience. Wonderful flavours, mouth-watering wine, perfect service. It manages to combine a hushed ambience with a feeling of complete privacy: it's a great place to sit and talk.

The outside terrace was closed for a function in the evening at lunch time as well as the bar area. Our starter ran out so they had to replace it and then our side ran out! Desert was very bland, overall disappointing for a michelin star - Im surprised it has managed to maintain this rating.

I have been at Angler before COVID happen and back than I really enjoyed the experience in this restaurant. I came back this time and I regret it. Really not up to Michelin star restaurant. we had testing menu with paring wine fillet of cod one was too cooked and the other not enough. the wine was a VERY small quantity for the standard of this kind of restaurant. I am extremely disappointed, I'm not going again for sure

Food, Service & Ambiance were excellent Wine pairings with tasting menu were very weak Quality low, not necessarily matching food & infinitesimal pours for a very expensive wine pairing

Ate there on a Friday night. There were hardly any customers and the only menu available was the tasting menu at £135 per person (more with wine pairings). My guest was allergic dairy and gluten. They had trouble accommodating this but tried very hard. The real problem was that their tasting menu was identical to the last time I was there in July. By late September I’d have a Michelin starred restaurant to have evolved. So, while I reviewed the July visit with a hugely positive comment, maybe this is a place not to return to. I don’t think I will.

We had the six course tasting menu and it was fabulous, everything tasted amazing so fresh, full of flavour & exquisitely prepared. Staff were attentive & friendly whilst not being overbearing. We had a truly memorable experience.

The food was good, with some very good courses. The service was a little slow and the bill was wrong (by several hundred pounds) when it came.

The staff were very friendly, but a little difficult to understand, and there were a lot of them! Food was excellent, especially the pre-meal snacks.

As you’d expect from the name, the focus is on the fish and the quality was superb, perhaps the best we’ve had in London. Menu is a little on the narrow side but quality over quantity, and this quality was reinforced by the additional tasters between courses. Perhaps it is because the presence of a Michelin star restaurant is not obvious from outside or even much as you go in the hotel, it was refreshingly quiet but this place deserves to be much better known and a regular spot. I may regret saying this when it gets harder to book a table

The kitchen is very good, quality ingredients well prepared and presented. But this is too much of a corporate, cold venue where individual diners don't enjoy the atmosphere. Management seems indifferent, and the understaffing puts waiting staff under pressure. There are better, warmer, more welcoming options available in London at this price point.

Food was very good overall although our main fish course had no sauce. As pescatarians we couldn’t have the bacon sauce on the menu but the chef didn’t substitute it with another suitable sauce which was disappointing. The service was a bit inadequate with a few errors. Also the glass of champagne was more like half a glass!

Whilst the food was actually very good, the surrounding service was terrible (courses delivered the wrong table and in the wrong order and an extremely long delay comparatively between two courses), mediocre interaction with the table (do you want wine rather that would you be interested in the wine flight or seeing our wine list, continuing to attempt to fill my wife’s wine glass after being said no more, and finally asking for the bill and watching the two staff get it and then run away to deal with another table and then brought the credit card machine before the bill! They were very lucky to get their 15% table service charge
