    Good food and superb presentation but roast potatoes were not hot and we would have expected different gravies for chicken and beef surely? Other than that food and staff were amazing and we were very pleasantly surprised and impressed with the extras we were given. Very nice afternoon Thankyou so much !

    What an amazing experience. Service was one of the best i’ve had in my life. Food was amazing, especially the scallops. They make you feel very comfortable and are always attentive to details. Definitely going back.

    Mussels in a flavorful broth topped with crispy fried shallots and garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro and green onions.
    A delicate dome-shaped mousse in pale yellow, garnished with fresh dill and topped with a green herb sauce.
    Crispy golden-brown fritters, likely corn-based, served with a smooth, creamy orange dipping sauce garnished with a green herb.
    Grilled bread with a golden-brown crust and soft, airy interior, ideal as a snack or accompaniment to various dishes.

    Superb. On arrival our reservation was confirmed without sharing a word, and we were greeted by name. A handwritten card was placed on our table and attentive staff ensured we were comfortably seated. We had the three course tasting menu with some nibbles from the a la carte menu. The food was superb, to the highest standard of cooking and quality. We can’t forget the tour of the famous Dorchester kitchens to finish a fantastic lunch. To the entire Dorchester team thank you for a memorable experience.

    Roasted chicken in savory sauce, ham on green pea puree with spinach, and golden fried plantains.
    A celebratory dessert featuring a chocolate inscription, a glossy raspberry pastry, berry sorbet with mint, and crispy dessert pieces garnished with powdered sugar and lemon.

    The Grill by Tom Booton at The Dorchester offers an outstanding dining experience. The food is creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with standout dishes like the lobster thermidor tart and beef Wellington. The service is exceptional—attentive and knowledgeable, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone seeking innovative British cuisine!

    What a memorable experience for all the right reasons. From the greeting to the farewell, the service exceeded expectations. The food was incredible. The tour of the kitchen, wine cellar and meeting Tom was a brilliant bonus. Could not recommend highly enough. Cannot wait to return.

    My husband and I both had the set lunch which was good value. We chose different starters and desserts so we could taste each others. The food was good but the green sauce with the trout was too similar to the sauce with the mussels to be on the same menu. The desserts were both excellent. We liked the wine by carafe as a bottle is too much for us at lunch time. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    Great ambience, welcoming and excellent service with personal attention. Food is delectable, high quality, mouthwatering and cooked to perfection. Presentation is second to none too. Thoroughly enjoyed being here that made our anniversary special and memorable.

    Splendid! We enjoyed the $35 preset lunch menu (3 courses). We added a glass of wine & coffee - we both enjoy the salad. We each tried a main (cod and chicken pie) & each tried a dessert (strawberry trifle and caramel soft serve). All was delicious-definitely recommend & would want to go again!

    The food was out of this world, Tom and his team are serving up some fantastic dishes. Service from the front of house team was second to none, Mattia made sure we wanted for nothing and made sure this was a birthday meal I wouldn’t forget. Thank you very much to all of the staff.

    What a treat from Tom Brooton. What appeared as a simple menu was made to be very special by this magician of a chef. Wonderful grand amuse bouche, which we joked that we did not need the lunch menu! Fabulouse bougogne from Laflaive completed the meal experience! Highly recomended!

    an opulent room with an impressive ceiling creates a sense of drama for the food experience. very nice and as you would expect. we will come for our next treat. just one comment that no fuss was made over my guest for his birthday which was odd when the question is posed in the request for booking.

    The restaurant was good and the food was lovely however the steak was very small for the price. We have been to many restaurants and £70 for a steak you would imagine it being a normal size portion in a “grill” restaurant. The waitress was lovely and the setting was enjoyable but should work on portion size for the mains!

    The interior is well appointed. The food is of good quality but pricy. The acoustic is horrible, the restaurant is very loud. Music from the lobby mixes with that from the restaurant itself, which is disturbing.

    The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Everything was well presented, from the appetiser to the main course. I missed out on dessert because the staff took too long to take our order. We couldn't see the hotel's beauty that day because it was being renovated. Aside from that, everything was excellent, and the ambiance was lovely.

    One of the most iconic rooms on the planet and food to match. Excellent service too. The fact that the restaurant is quite small adds to the appeal.

    The food was nice and the staff was kind. Only the service charge was very high and they shouldn't charge unless you ask.

    The service was fabulous. The food was all rather too rich and heavy for all of us. But of a good quality. Our very expensive steak wasn’t cooked as requested medium rare though, and was very over seasoned.

    We had an amazing evening. The place is beautiful, all the courses were exquisite, and the service top notch. Even though we booked through this offer, we had an over the top experience, and the same level of service and care as the other clients. I can't recommend this place enough and I hope I will have the opportunity to come back.
