    Hello guys! Here I am 🤗 have to admit bit sleepy, but hey happy to talk about my food! Let me start with absolutely one of the best dining experiences and customer service I have received lately! I truly believe that this is one of the most important factors in regards to any dining experience. The point is you want to feel welcomed and leave that place with a smile on your face and wish to come back again soon! The manager was beyond helpful and it made us feel we were like family! He even took us on a kitchen tour, and I was so pleasantly surprised and impressed! Being a foodie and someone who loves cooking, I truly appreciated it! So thank you for that! Also thank you to a lovely bartender who came to greet us and offered a fantastic limoncello! Grazie! Now about the food. I enjoyed so much crispy semolina with Gouda cheese and salami on top! Delicious! Must try. Fried Shimeji Mushrooms were ok. Need some improvement in the batter and less fried. Lamb skewers were good. The grilled monkfish with lingonberries was amazing. Tender, juicy and done perfectly! Bravo Chef! Also, Cornish Plaice with anchovies and warm tartar sauce was so tasty and light. The fried anchovy was so good, (and I am someone who doesn’t love anchovies) but this one was so wonderful! Next was the double fried chips and I enjoyed them so much. Crispy and soft inside. Of course I always have space for something sweet 😂 the fig tarte tatin with fig leaf soft serve was so nicely done and super tasty. I personally adore figs and they were so delicious. Almost forgot my lobster Cesar salad, it was lovely and I am so picky with my lobster. It was fresh and light and properly cooked. You will love it! Cheers to all foodies!🙏

    Great ambiance! The portions are on the small end of the scale for the price. Loved the tiddly wink cocktail! Staff were attentive which meets expectations for what it is! At the vesper bar, thank you very much Daniella for your service, so kind to show us around too! We very much enjoyed our experience 😊

    Simply stunning evening at The Grill. Best food in London and the service was incredible. Big shout out to Grace as our waitress who was so friendly, incredible knowledge and all round brilliant. We had two courses and then the third at the pudding bar which is a must! You get to see the prep and speak to the chefs. Another big shout out to Freddie who was so lovely at explaining everything and what a treat those puddings are. Best place in London and better than all the big name restaurants I have been to. This is Michelin star quality, so go now before they are awarded it and prices go up! :)

    Went for lunch my dads birthday We chose the set lunch menu. It took 30 minutes from arriving to being given menus. The restaurant seemed understaffed as there were only 2 hostesses for 10-12 tables. The set lunch menu is excellent value £31 for 2 course or £38 for 3 courses. The food was excellent. They barley porridge was creamy yet well balanced the leek and potato soup was good to. The freshly in-house baked Irish soda bread was also excellent. For mains we had the fish and the chicken and mushroom pie. Presentation was excellent and food was very good Would recommend it!

    The atmosphere and the food were excellent. The restaurant is really well laid out . The welcome and the table service probably deserve a much higher rating to be quite honest. The food is nothing short of excellent. However the reason I have stopped short of giving 5* is that a 12.5% service charge was added to the meal which I think was more than deserved , however the waiter then asked if I would like to give an additional gratuity. To be honest I thought this was quite rude. Happy to pay a service charge, being called out in infront of my guests for an additional gratuity is bad form .

    Incredible experience at the Grill by Tom Booton! Couldn't recommend it enough. The new menu is great - definitely worth trying a few bits from the snack menu, which were all very tasty! The service was extremely attentive and we loved that the chef, Tom came out to explain a few of the dishes. We will be back!

    Booked the rooftop terrace for outdoor alfresco during covid. Food was nice and service was great. My only issue is that it got quite chilly and their were no outdoor heating. They did provided blankets but they really should invest in some outdoor heating for any type of rooftop eating.

    Fine dining slightly let down by the smell of old fried oil on entering. There are no tablecloths and the service could have been better considering they add 15% (£35) but anyway can't complain too much as a real privilege to have such great food in the first place!

    We had dinner at The Grill at the Dorchester on Friday 10 December for my partner’s birthday. Alina and the rest of the staff were fabulous. Alina was attentive and explained what every dish was. We had the Leek and Potato Soup, Squid Bolognese, Lobster Thermidor Tart, Herb Crusted Turbot, Ribeye, Sticky Toffee Pudding and White Snickers. The food was absolutely amazing especially the Squid. Thank you for such a lovely evening!

    Has been at The Grill today for a lunch and it was amazing. For me, it hits the perfect balance between the fine and casual dining. Food, atmosphere, fixtures and fittings but most importantly - the service was outstanding. We were looked after by Harold who was an absolute star and made our lunch very special 10/10.

    First time at The Grill for lunch and loved every minute. Great food beautifully crafted and served with style. Good recommendations from our friendly and helpful waitress Amy. Lovely atmosphere and a very relaxing and enjoyable way to spend the afternoon. Can't wait to go again.

    One of the top hotels in the world, I once happened to witness Elizabeth Taylor checking out, long time ago. The decor is very plush and traditional.They do very good afternoon teas, as good as the Ritz in my opinion.

  • 5/5 Arif H. 2 years ago on Google
    A 40th wedding anniversary celebrated with perhaps the best lunch I have eaten. Had heard and read about Head-Chef Tom Booton, I just had to meet him too. Very pleasant and awesomely talented. From the reception staff to the server to Tilly the Dessert attendant, from the decor, to the ambience, to the service, all 5*. The food came out in time, hot and fresh. The water glasses refilled attentively. The small gestures of attention. AND best of all, the price, so very reasonable. Bravo to all who made our celebration so awesome. Thank you so very much. ❤️

    Went here for a special occasion today, the place is beautiful, super friendly staff and thoughtful touches. Every course is good especially the desserts, Wow! Price was reasonable for the location and quality and amount of food in the set menu.

  • 4/5 Xavi C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and beautiful restaurant. The waiter had an ill fitting face mask resulting in touching his nose to fit it. That was not great.

  • 5/5 J G. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely loved our visit to The Grill at The Dorchester! We had the 4 course a la carte menu and found it brilliant value for money. The ribeye course was as enjoyable as I can remember having! The service was excellent, the staff know the menu very well! The dining room looks the part, really looking forward to coming again 🙂.

    So good!! 😋 you just have to eat here. Just because my eyes r bigger than my stomach i have to come back to eat the rest of the menu😆 Love the small bites, the special bun and super love the garlic soup and the mushroom risotto..and more. And the snicker bar dessert 😜 can barely walk after all that food 😂 thanks Chef Tom!!

  • 5/5 Jeff F. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is a must-visit in London. The food is adventurous and inspiring, a delight to taste. And the service is spectacular. Our waiter Jack was very knowledgeable about the menu, and a great conversationalist too. We had such a great time our first evening in town we came back on our final evening to celebrate our trip. Highly, highly recommended. We can't wait for our next visit!

    Nice Interior. No good start menu. But, Main menu was soo good. Most of london High end restaurants are wine list no good. Paris restaurant is so good. I miss paris. But... I shoud come marcus belgravia again. It was one of Best Restaurant in London until now. And... This restaurant has so many wines on the wine list Book. Dessert are amazing. Interior was so luxury.

    Well we planned to visit it after visiting our office. It’s a restaurant with beautiful and charming interior inside the hotel. I’ve ordered a beer “Rossini”, the meat from which was perfect however vegetables under were over salted. No complaints regarding the pigeon. In addition in my Caesar salad was fennel which brings a weird taste to it.

  • 5/5 Michael P. 8 months ago on Google
    This is my first visit since the refurbishment. I booked a table in the Grill. It's definitely a different place now. The meal and service were very good. The Vespers Bar doesn't open until 16:00 hrs, but there is a very good bar at the far end of the tea lounge. So I enjoyed a couple of dry Martini to whet the appetite.

  • 5/5 Tony C. 1 year ago on Google
    I was very impressed with their Sunday Roast! Well executed! Flavoursome, perfect portions and nicely presented. Great team. Matteo, kindly gave us a tour of their kitchen which was thoroughly enjoyed.

  • 5/5 hamida d. 3 years ago on Google
    I specifically booked the Grill at the Dorchester to have the apple tart tartine. We went there for dessert only. Well what can I say firstly the staff were warm and friendly and so so hospitable. The dessert was sublime and I liked the fact that the waiting staff asked for confirmation whether we would like our hot beverages served at the same time as our dessert. It's very rare that I find dining experiences truly memorable because what is sadly lacking in London is the service BUT the staff at the Grill were amazing and so was this particular dessert. I will have to now visit again for either lunch or dinner.

    Well worth the money, a fantastic indulgent retreat. I didn't need to have an evening meal after this as I was so full. A great experience.
