The Ritz Restaurant

The atmosphere itself is beautiful. There is a coat check where you can get a tie or suit jacket if you don’t come in wearing one for the men. To start with you need a reservation ahead of time to get a seat which we did a month in advance. The dessert that comes with the afternoon tea we’re not appetizing everything was lemon based we did not finish nor ask for seconds. The scones were pretty good along with the jam. The sandwiches were not bad we had seconds. We ordered a birthday cake ahead of time which was delicious hazelnut flavor. They also ask if you want banana or hazelnut loaf cake before you leave a slice for each, we got the hazelnut one it was okay, we had a bite and left the rest. The champagne is only a glass you pay extra for and not unlimited, which was fine. When it was time to go we were told we can only take the scones to go and the cake we paid for, which was strange because when we went to forum mason in the past we were able to take anything we wanted to go without any issue and we’re able to take extra. Honestly, if you want a great afternoon tea experience we suggest fortnum mason, it was amazing. The service was okay, we noticed the manager just sticking to three single females the entire time we were there and gave couples an attitude for asking photos and such. In all, it was okay nothing special for 250 pounds.

We went for the 7-course dinner menu and were extremely impressed. First off, the Ritz itself is extremely beautiful, and the dining room is no exception. The menu was well thought out by the chef. Every one of the 7 courses was unique and highlighted a different flavor. All the staff members were great, however they did seem a bit understaffed. There were not enough servers to keep an eye on every table and refill waters, for example. As the dining room became more crowded, waiters seemed to be frantically running around.

Of course the live at the Ritz was a fabulous experience like no other. To be able to dance and see dancing shows is amazing. And the food was overall very good. I went for the 5 courses and the last course, the Mont Blanc, you can see its picture, was extremely sweet. It didn’t affect me not giving 5 stars but it could be better.Recommended dishesBirthday Cake

Lovely experience and really good value for lunch! The steak tartare starter was very tasty and beautifully presented. From mains, the pork was definitely the winner. Overall, the apricot soufflé dessert was definitely the star - I would come back just for that. As expected, amazing wine list, beautiful room and impeccable service.

We had a really lovely afternoon tea at the Palm Court. The Christmas decorations made it even more special. We enjoyed the egg brioche, finger sandwiches, sweet bites and scones with jam and clotted cream all served with an extended selection of specialty teas. Loved the ambience!

Well what can I say? From being greeted like old friends outside, the young lad by the Christmas tree who offered to help us until we left we felt like family. A truly outstanding experience. After a slight hiccup with the menu cards, everything flowed beautifully. The service was friendly, yet professional, and most importantly, the food was amazing! Yes, as a typical bloke the portions looked small, but by jove, I was so full. Recommend? 100%

You know what to expect from Ritz Carlton, and they ALWAYS Deliver! Service was exceptional and the tea and pastries were phenomenal. Afternoon Tea far exceeded my expectations, and is just another reason why I always return. You can't go wrong if you decided to come here. Highly Recommended!!!

It is a lovely experience. The staff members are all very welcoming. We had an afternoon tea and it was delicious. The desert was lovely and we each got a box to takeaway. Definitely recommend it.

The wife and I enjoyed our Friday night dinner. The food was tasty and I was allowed to preorder a Halal lamb in advance. The kitchen made sure none of our food contained alcohol and advised us what dessert to have. All the dishes were delicious however the soufflé was okay nothing special. Friday night you get lovely entertainment which we enjoyed.

In spite of being in London for quite some years , I avoided the Ritz , for fear such a classic , and a classy venue would disappoint. I am glad I eventually with some persuasion did go . It was a very pleasant experience from all aspects . Food, service, ambiance the pianist was amazing . It was a nice evening spent in the rich history of the venue.
