Summary
“Here’s hoping it sustains its magic post Simon Rogan” – In April 2017, the L’Enclume chef terminated his tenure at this “beautiful Art Deco chamber”, leaving his head chef Matt Starling to maintain the “exotic and quixotic” dishes (“delicately balanced between being intriguing and not daunting”) that have placed this famously elegant hotel’s dining room firmly in London’s first rank. Claridge’s had a good record of running this restaurant prior to any celebrity involvement, and – though there may be some bumps after his departure – we’d wager this “superb” all-rounder will maintain its appeal.
Summary
“Utterly sublime on every level” – Simon Rogan’s three-year-old tenure in this “luxurious” (and “surprisingly large”) Art Deco dining room has hit an even stride, providing “mindblowing food that’s experimental and fun”, “warm service” and a “glorious” atmosphere (although “the earthenware plates do clash a bit with the decor”). “It’s not a budget option” (“prices are unjustifiable” for a few reporters) but, Top Tip – “set lunch is fantastic value”. This year Rogan also added the new Aulis ‘6-seat development table’ in a private room off the kitchen: “a magical, innovative dining experience – what makes it incredible is listening to Dan talk about the ingredients, how the team came across it, and the thinking and creative process behind each course.”
Summary
After a dazzling debut, Simon Rogan’s second year in this “stunning” Art Deco chamber still inspires adulation for his “wizard” tasting menus and “astonishingly good wine matches”. Prices, however, are “breathtaking”, and ratings slipped perceptibly across the board this year, with growing gripes about “an absence of fireworks”.
Summary
“Hats off” to Simon Rogan, for the relaunch of this landmark Mayfair Art Deco chamber, where “gloriously attentive” service only adds to the enjoyment of the “phenomenal” meals – up to 17 courses that are “so different” (and, for those who so opt, come with some “exceptionally well-matched wines”).

"The atmosphere here is lovely for a special occasion. The food was good although the pork jowl a bit fatty for me. The quality was first class with nice textures and flavours and really good service - attentive, friendly and efficient without being intrusive."
