We were staying in the Edition and since we just flew in, decided to have dinner here to avoid the pouring rain outside. Stylistically, this spot is gorgeously decorated although it seems like the ambience cannot decide if it’s time for serious business conversation or posh clubbing. We were greeted by four different servers, the soon with the champagne cart, and the assistant somm. Great, lovely service! Once we ordered and it became clear that we were “only” ordering an app and a main, plus one glass of bubbles and one glass of wine each, we were completely ignored. We had to ask for our check 3 times, and it finally arrived 30 minutes after we first asked for it. Logically, it included a 13% service fee for the wonderful service we did not experience. How was the food? The octopus was great, although it was rather oily and a very small portion. The mushroom soup was not a soup, but some nicely cooked vegetables with way too much fresh tarragon. The pork pie was bland… our waiter said it really needed salt and he didn’t have any. Perfect. The lamb rump was well cooked but missing the eggplant and anchovy flavor promised by the menu. The steak and fries were completely “fine”. At these prices, the food should actually be better than forgettable fine. The wine and bubbles were similarly overpriced and forgettable. There’s so much good food and drink in London…. It’s just not at the Edition.
This place is incredible, one of the most iconic spaces I’ve seen in london. The decor is just next level. Our meal was amazing, had the steak and salad. Cocktails were great as well, the service was next level!Food: 5/5
I stayed at The Edition and had breakfast and dinner there for 2 days. Really love the vibes and the design. Every time I sit there, I always feel fascinated on their decoration. Service are very lovely. The food is as perfect as their decorations.Food: 5/5
Food was nice, but did expect something a bit more given it was a Jason Atherton restaurant. The setting was nice, classic decor but a lot of artworks which could be disturbing. Food on average would cost £80 per person for two courses but if you add alcohol be prepared to pay about £180 per person.
Thank you to every single member of staff that we interacted with last night. I’m so glad I chose to celebrate my birthday here. From the moment I arrived til the moment I left, I was met with happy, professional, attentive members of staff who all went above and beyond to make the night special. The food was delicious, the cocktails have been very thoughtfully created and made, and the ambience / atmosphere are just perfect for an evening of dining with friends. I will absolutely be coming back. Thank you!
Stunning interior with high ceilings and incredible hospitality. Tarzeem was the best server I’ve had in ages, what a delight. Next time, I want to sit at the 2 top in the mezzanine!Food: 4/5
Tarseem has been a wonderful host to us. He has gone above and beyond to make our dinner and birthday celebration special. I really appreciate his hospitality and will definitely come here regularlyFood: 5/5
We were staying at the London Edition. Breakfast was included, so we had our morning coffee and food there three days in a row. The staff was nice and greeted us before seated. The breakfast options were many and easy to choose from. The interior was stunning and inspiring, especially we were designers. The best after dessert is the chef's special crepe!!!
We had dinner here. The place is very nice and well-decorated. The food, too, was delicious. The service, though, was not up to the looks and vibes of the place. There was no smile from the employees whatsoever; for example, we had to order the check three times to receive it. One of the employees was quite rude. Only the young man who waited for us was the good person to have received service from.
Food was very disappointing, and it became very clear that the set menu was a Trojan horse to upsell you at every opportunity. Service was over attentive to the point it ruined the meal - every opportunity was taken to try and sell us something, and we couldn’t get any flow to our conversation as a result. It also created a sense of constant defensiveness on our part that put a damper on the meal, as we would have easily tripled the size of the bill if we’d followed the staff’s constant recommendations. They were also very boisterous around the room, laughing and chatting so loudly that it had the entire room turned around to see what was going on. They were constantly distracted and hard to get a hold of, and no service charge was removed after we found the hair. Overall the service elements of the restaurant seemed very poorly managed and inappropriate for the price and supposed prestige of the restaurant. More akin to Nando’s than fine dining. I found a hair in my meal, including a visible root, and even though it was fixed quickly they only refunded the difference between the set menu prices, so £5 total. Chicken broth was super average, the schnitzel was unenjoyable, and the creme caramel was the highlight. Someone else at my table spoke highly about the sirloin, but otherwise all 4 of us were disappointed. The room is phenomenal, but overall it was a very disappointing experience and not somewhere I would go again. We picked the restaurant because we wanted fine dining, but it ended up feeling like a Groupon.
