    Amazing in every way. The main dining room is grandiose with high ceilings and walls covered with art. Food is fantastic. I had the crab meat as a starter. Amazing. Very good choice of wines as well.

    Great cocktails (Dill or No Dill) and simple but solid entrees and appetizers. Oh yea and it's one of the best rooms to eat in.

    Lovely spot for brunch. Dressed crab, ham hock hash brown and apple eclair were all fab. Pork pie also great. Loved the dill or no dill cocktail. Super indulgent for a Sunday brunch treat!

    Come for the amazing Mac and Cheese and the cool environment. I love everything about this restaurant. Serves classic British food in big portions. The atmosphere was lively even on a Monday night.

    Great venue for special occasions, plenty of vegetarian options including a delicious roasted cauliflower main, save room for dessert and try the dill or no dill cocktail. Delicious.

    This place is great. Good energy. A thoughtful cocktail menu. And a glorious atmosphere. On the contrary, they thought you wouldn't notice their avocados are a prepackaged jelly poured out of a bag.

    Seriously amazing space. Here's your order: Dover sole, cauliflower gratin, and the chocolate cereal cocktail for dessert. All perfect.

    Lovely place for a cocktail or a private dining event. Food was tasty but must try the mint ice cream - great blend of refreshing and herby yumminess

    Come here if you need to impress. Great meat cuts, proper service and astonishing room set up. Most of the waiter are Italian which helped a lot in pimping the service up.

    You have to love a bartender that knows how to make a good drink...and every bartender at Berners can do this. Come for the drinks, stay for the scenery.

    Amazing! Not many places can live up to the hype that their reputation carries. Food is honest and hearty, service is fantastic and you won't get bored looking around

    Excellent cocktails and food. For such a large room, you'd think it would be noisy, but it was full and we could hear each other talk as well as the great music at an appropriate level.

    Berners Tavern is a proper “bobby-dazzler”. It's a gastronomic heaven with a menu that satisfies all day long – from breakfast fry-ups and lunchtime sandwiches to Josper grills and Sunday roasts. Read more

    You simply must get the Ham, eggs and peas to start. And the dessert is mind blowing - try the French Brioche an ginger sorbet. Heavenly!

    Recently changed drink menu with some enticing yet sometimes experimental concoctions. Work a few on the menu before going off just for fun.

    GQ recommends: Severn and Wye cured smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. The portions are very generous, but if you're hungry order with a side of toasted English crumpets.

    Amazing presence and decor. Interesting cocktails, very good food, and leave room for desert as the menu is sensational.

    For a relatively cheap date, start off with a cocktail at the bar, order the Ox tail mac and cheese to share (its copious) and share a bottle of Malbec.

    Insanely overpriced but it makes you feel like a king. The drinks and cocktail waitresses are both simply beautiful and delicious.

    Extraordinary, breathtaking, inspired, careful, generous cooking in an absolutely jaw-dropping room. Reserve in advance, but do go. Comes at a price, though.

    The baked eggs with yoghurt and harissa is real nice. Also the poached eggs with halloumi and pine nut pesto is brilliant but the quantity is small.

    Great drinks, outstanding service. Set yourself up with Eric at the bar if you can and have him make anything you want....but challenge yourself, he'll come thru. Great food, too!

    It's pretty much the most amazing dining took I've ever seen. Well worth just stopping by to have a drink at the very comfortable bar area.

    Dining room is amazing. Bar itself is really nice, with plenty of space, pool table (referred to as billiards here) etc. Great cocktails also.

    Book a table in the Punch Room for pre-dinner drinks ladled from silver sharing bowls by the fireside, then onto the resplendent dining room where you'll feel like you've stumbled into a film

    Not a breakfast spot but a restaurant with a super cool cocktail bar (recommend the 'Cereal Killer' - a White Russian made with milk soaked in coco pops - whaaaaaaaat?)

    Pricey but absolutely worth it - a little bit of luxury just a stones throw from the mayhem of Oxford street. Go for one of the sharing punches 👏🏻👏🏻

    the salmon with eggs breakfast dish is really small (the lemon in the dish was bigger than the salmon portion).

    One of my favorite spots in London. Can seem pretentious. But the interior design is stunning. Acoustic, not so much. Very noisy. Always packed. So book ahead!

    Duck egg and pork pie starters were wonderful. Jacobs Ladder and COD mains were ok, not amazing. Avoid Baked Alaska at all cost! Staff and service are a pleasure as is the room itself.
