One of my favourite restaurants in London. Definitely order for starters prawn and crab, for mains hake and monkish and for puddings apple tart and Kendal Mint ice cream. Fabulous staff, food & drinks

Great food and lovely staff! As a gluten and dairy free person I found that I could eat almost the entire menu (with a few changes) and the staff made us feel so welcome.

Fancy cocktails and a limited but solid food menu with mostly small plates. You can make a meal out of the burger, which comes with a wedge salad, though; don't forget to ask for a steak knife.

The rib eye steak melts in you mouth. Dont miss the triple fried chips. The chocolate praline with salted caramel is to die for!

Definitely give the bee-keeper a try if you're here for drinks. If deciding between brunch and tea, always opt for brunch. And definitely try the Corned Beef Hash. It's exquisite.

Don't be intimidated by the ostentatious surroundings, the staff are as warm and welcoming as the comfort food. The meringue, marmalade and custard snow egg takes like, well... a snowy egg!

Service was outstanding. Drinks are inventive/good. Heirloom tom starter seemed like it was poached first (lil softer than it should have been) and the poached hake was perfectly cooked and delish.

Go for cocktails if you don't want to splash out on dinner, it's beautiful setting and they are really yummy

Proper, must try coctails. I like the vintage/classic outfits of the bartenders. It would be better if they had vintage-looking furniture too. The existing ones give more like a hotel lobby feel.

This beautiful space is the epitome of opulence, busting at the seams with all its Gothic splendor. Set in a wing of the beautiful St Pancras hotel, come from the station, walk through the hotel... Read more

One of the best places to take a date. Go at the golden hours for live piano whilst you eat. Pricey, but great value for what it is.

Marcus Wareing's elegant British brasserie is open at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. Named after the building's original architect, Sir George Gilbert Scott - enjoy great British Classics! Read more

Burger sliders just perfect! Good match with Aviation/Corps revival from the cocktail card.

Cocktail was the only taste I remember. Everything we ate was too ordinary. I’d expect something more from such a lovely place. 😕

I think I just overheard the waiter say we frown on taking leftovers home bc 'we cant guarantee the same quality as in restaurant'. Well duh. Plus, its my food so shut up.

Try the Londonist cocktail. 1) Because it's cracking. 2) Because it's called The Londonist. Tell the bar staff we sent you.
David RosenbergMarch 24, 2014
Achtung! This is not a late night spot. If you want to keep drinking, head to the Booking Office across the hall, open until the last people leave.
Pete KeeleyOctober 29, 2016
Sat at the chefs table 7 courses with wine for each dish - bloody marvellous
Paul KardousOctober 11, 2011
If you're in the area and looking for a drink, head here instead of The Booking Office. More intimate and better cocktails. Try the 1873 or an Old Fashioned.
Jay VixonFebruary 26, 2016
One of the nicest cocktail bars in the city
Meredith HullFebruary 10, 2015
Just the most beautiful beautiful bar- and surprisingly quiet. Good cocktails!

Incredible venue with ornate furnishings and high ceilings in The Renaissance Hotel. Perfect date spot 🥂

F*cking excellent cocktails. Period.
ᴡ CordaAugust 1, 2011
Great traditional British food with a modern touch. It is quite expensive through. Count £60/per person for a kitchen table without the wines. Read more

Great food...wonderful service in a reasonable price!
Andy ThorntonNovember 9, 2013
Top notch cocktails and traditional (Northern?) British grub with a twist.
Cass SwallowMay 13, 2015
This place is drop dead gorgeous. Don't forget to ask to see the other food menu...

Expensive, but great cocktails and a beautiful building.
Ronald DLFebruary 21, 2012
Very British... try any of the local veggies... ask for translation from the waiter if you don't recogognize the old English.
Stephen MakinNovember 13, 2011
Have the sunday lunch special. Must be the best restaurant Sunday lunch in London

Try the Egon Mess for dessert. It's a vibrant, delicious fruit dessert you'll love!
Tammy GordonMay 28, 2012

Gin garden thro the summer!

The staff did their best and even didn't charge me for the main course, but nothing could make up for the horrible food. Dripping in oil, really bad.

Jugged steak is amazing and the bartenders are all very knowledgeable!
James WilsonDecember 9, 2013
Fantastic ambience of decadent days!!

Angus cheek was good but dessert tasted like an ordinary vanilla ice cream. Ambiance is a bit dead though and staff is not very friendly.

Make sure the serving staff write down your order. We ordered ribeye steak and they delivered sirloin. Ruined our evening unfortunately
Glenfiddich Mark .February 12, 2012
A fine range of malts behind the bar and friendly staff to serve it
Terri WadeJuly 9, 2011
The Cullen Skink was lovely but it's cold soup - which came as a bit of a surprise!
