    My boyfriend and I came for the Thanksgiving dinner and really enjoyed it!!! I'm American and I must say I was quite impressed with the whole thing. The turkey was absolutely delicious - so moist and juicy. The cornbread was really tasty and a nice touch as well! I loved the decor and I absolutely adored that the food came out to the center of the table so you could make your own Thanksgiving plate. The Pem seems to understand the "spirit" of an American Thanksgiving. Some of the food definitely tasted distinctly British - the stuffing ball wasn't my favorite, which was a shame. Delicious stuffing could be made from just stuffing the bird!! The canapés I also thought could be presented in a much nicer way, but they were quite yummy!

    Had a lovely impromptu meal at The Pem. The service was spot on, special mention to the sommelier who recommended some great wine pairings. Cooking of the food was perfect for us in particular the game cookery. We will definitely return

    The Pem is an upscale restaurant in a Hilton Hotel. Do dress up in your finest. It's not a jeans/ t-shirt place. It's quintessential elegance. There are at least 6 servers taking care of you, all excellent. All female Chefs. Be prepared for a non-traditional menu with things like Nettle Soup, Lamb's heart, Artichoke with truffles, etc. You have to be an adventurous eater at The Pem. Dinner & drinks for 3 cost over $600US. My favorite dish was a Strawberry Cheesecake dessert. Over the moon!

    We enjoyed our dinner at The Pem. The service was great throughout. The ambiance was very nice as the restaurant is divided into a lot of smaller spaces so it feels cozy. The mushroom soufflé and langoustine dishes were the highlight. Their house bread was also delicious! The sommelier was very knowledgeable while their wine list was extensive and reasonably priced as well.

    Absolutely loved it. I've had food from Chef Sally Abe before at The Harwood Arms so we were very keen to visit The Pem and try some of her team's fine dining delicassies. The presentation of the food is stunning and the combination of British flavours are superb. The rose veal was by far my favourite starter and the John Dory was phenomenal as a main. Particularly happy with the John Dory as it is quite tricky to not overcook and end with a dry, chewy finish. The wine menu is ideal and there's plenty of perfect, affordable choices for each dish. I was surprised to see some sweet wines from southern Spain that one often doesn't see in London, such as from the hills of Malaga. The quality to price ratio is also really good considering this is food made by one of Britain's finest. Service was 10/10 which is surprising considering the restaurant is brand new and one can expect the odd confusion or delays here and there but we had none of that so considering we were a party of 6, that was quite impressive. Looking foreward to coming again. Thank you for a lovely experience.

    Incredible. Swanky, moody and delicious: not just a dinner but a proper night out. The dishes have the detail and depth of flavour you may find in Michelin-star establishments and found some of the ones we tried to have the potential to become instant classics like the mackerel and lobster, both in the starters, beef in the mains and apricot custard tart in the deserts. Wonderful flavours, surprisingly well balanced: totally loved the way how the primary flavours were enhanced rather than masked by cooking techniques. Difficult to pull off and it was masterfully done, bravo chef! The wine list did what a wine list does best: it intrigued me (Orange wine from Greece? Yes please and fantastic!). Overall what my company and I loved the most was the vibe. We chatted the night away, with the music gently picking up throughout the hours we had been at our table and enjoyed a perfect service from the staff. The service was so good it was unreal: everyone interacted with us, special mention to James, the wonderful sommelier, and managed to never be intrusive. They were knowledgeable but most importantly, attentive. They punctuated our conversation, with humour and care, like in a well orchestrated theatre production: we eagerly took it in. Overall, it was an evening of light-hearted fun, the sort we had been missing for months and I'm so ever grateful for that. Well done to The Pem and wish you every success!

    Exquisite food and wine! . The service is exceptional and we opted for wine pairing to compliment our food. The waitress I assume was also a trained sommelier as her wine knowledge paired my taste well. Each time 2 wines were bought over to try and so you can chose a preference. This was based on the initial description of your taste. Beautiful decor and embiance. It was my birthday and there was a card signed my all the chefs which was a lovely touch as well as a mini dessert.

    I Discovered this place by happenstance and I'm so glad. I wanted to try British food that wasn't chips and chips. Great discovery! The ambiance was casual and upscale, the food was exceptional, the service above and beyond.

    We chose the Pem to hold a birthday and it genuinely was one of the best dining experiences we have had in recent years. They pulled out all the stops in making us feel welcomed, closely attending to our dietary requirements and everything else that we needed. The service was immaculate - really friendly staff, food/wine delicious and the atmosphere perfectly relaxed. Thank you for making this a memorable occasion for us and all the generous extra treats to top off a great evening. - Jason & Leah

    First time at the pem to celebrate an anniversary. Been wanting to try Sally abe's new restaurant for a while. Good vibe in the dining room and everything was very slick. Friendly staff and a great sommelier. Menu had good variety and the food was also very nice. Lost a star because its very very expensive. We had a good time here but felt it to be lacking for the price point. Not sure if we will return but worth a trip to see for yourself

    Very nice restaurant, although pricey, the Wellington and goose were both stand out and the seafood broth was extremely nice too

    Absolutely incredible experience we had at the pem, we went on with the new years eve special menu and It was 10/10, the service was 11/10 everything was fantastic. It is expensive but I honestly believe It is worth to try atleast once.

    Booked here on a whim wanting fancy British food on our first trip to the UK last October and were impressed by everything. The food tasted very pure and clean and hearty, the service was amazing. The staff was very diverse and warm. First meal on our honeymoon and we couldn’t have been happier.

    In a nutshell: Nice decor but punchy prices and small portions! Approx. £70pp , excluding wine/ drinks for 3 courses. An evening of dining in style @thepemrestaurant @littlechefsally @conradlondonsj with our dear friends - an enjoyable evening of great company, Rhône wine, and food including freshly baked wholemeal bread with wild garlic butter, scallops, Dorset crab, sirloin with oysters, pork belly, quail, white chocolate dessert, light chocolate sponge, and cheese selection! 🙌🍷❤️😍 ... Chef Sally, you and your team have done an amazing job with the resign and was a perfect time to visit 2 days after reopening. Thanks to MD, Allen, and Valeria for your warm hospitality - and for organising dairy free versions of my choices for me (J) including my fab vegan chocolate sponge with raspberries & blackberry and raspberry sorbet & orange jelly petit four. 💚🤗

    Wonderful food as always prepared by the talented Sally Abé. Surprising twists on some delicious classics in a lovely setting in the heart of St James’s Park. Always a pleasure!

    Living in London as an American for over 25 year's I've cooked at home and also tried many so called "American Thanksgiving meals" at many fine restaurants. This evening has exceeded all, even my own cooking. Chef Sally Abé and team created an inventive yet traditional meal to enchant and delight. Hard combo! The hotel as we'd expect from a Conrad is exceptional and the meal as well. All the staff are experienced and professional but the food is the star! Amazing presenting of gorgeous full flavor on food! Adored the family style service - much like my own family. Chef Sally Abé even popped round to our table so we could appreciate our thanks. Bow! Mention the lovely room as well. Flawless evening, cuisine and service.
