Heddon Street Kitchen

I had such a great time at Heddon Street Kitchen. The atmosphere is really cozy and welcoming, with a stylish touch that makes the whole place feel special without trying too hard. It’s the kind of spot where you instantly feel comfortable, whether you’re just grabbing a meal or celebrating something. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish we had was full of flavor and beautifully presented. You can tell there’s real care in how everything is prepared. The drinks were also amazing and matched the food perfectly. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our waiter, Toshko, was incredible. So kind, friendly and genuinely attentive. He made us feel at home right away. Always available when we needed something and incredibly fast, but never rushed. He just got everything right. Honestly one of the best servers we’ve had anywhere. The whole experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. It’s a place I’d definitely go back to and happily recommend to anyone.

The vibes and the food was awesome. We had the best time at Gordon’s restaurant. Stunning inside and pretty on the outside. We dined out for my husband’s birthday and the waitress (Nikoletta) made his day extra special with the happy birthday surprise. Thanks to all the waiters, waitresses and the chefs that made the experience amazing with their friendly but professional service. Definitely will recommend

The truth is, it was not a good experience — mainly due to the service. The waiters treated us as if we were just another task to check off — they showed no empathy or even a smile at any point. Our reservation was for 9 PM, and it was very clear that the only thing they wanted was to go home. If that’s the attitude they’re going to have, they shouldn’t even allow bookings at that hour (even though you can actually book for even later). They made us feel like we were a nuisance. As for the food, the flavor wasn’t bad, but nothing worth raving about either. In my case, my curry dish came in tiny portions as you can see in the photos. My tablemates' dishes (Beef Wellington) were of a more appropriate size. Regarding the prices, I found them quite high — but that’s expected from a restaurant run by one of the most famous chefs in the world. What bothered me the most was that the bill included a suggested 15% service charge. Not only should the suggested amount be 10%, not 15%, but I also believe it should never be pre-included — especially after such poor service. Honestly, I don’t recommend it. I usually only write reviews when I’ve had an excellent experience (you can see my other reviews), because I believe good work deserves to be recognized. I’m not in the habit of posting reviews when the experience isn’t great — but I left this place truly disappointed.

Had the seasonal menu- everything top notch. Those cod bites - wow- the best batter I’ve ever had and the umami chicken wings were delicious. Fab steaks cooked to perfection - everything marvellous. Lovely decor and friendly staff.

This restaurant left such a lasting impression on us that we ended up visiting twice in the same week! A huge part of what made both experiences so enjoyable was our waiter, Chris. He was not only fast and attentive but also incredibly kind and thoughtful. In a small but meaningful gesture, he noticed that my son had accidentally spilled some chocolate on his shirt and, without us even asking, brought over wipes to help clean it up. That level of service is rare and truly appreciated! The food was equally impressive—served hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The menu had a great variety, and while the Sunday selection was a bit more limited, there were still plenty of delicious options to choose from. During our first visit, we ordered cannelloni, butter chicken with naan, and two sodas, which came to £68.14 with tip. On our second visit, we tried the tuna tartare, reordered the cannelloni, had fish and chips, three sodas, and finished off with a decadent chocolate fondant for dessert, totaling £112 with tip. From the exceptional service to the incredible food, this place is a true standout. We’ll definitely be returning!This restaurant left such a lasting impression on us that we ended up visiting twice in the same week!

Amazing food and very generous portions. Food pricing was very reasonable. Our waiter was very delightful and helpful (I wish I got his name). Personally, the smoked duck salad was the highlight of my meal!

My wife and I recently attended this restaurant to try the three course lunch menu. Overall we weren't impressed. The service was for the most part excellent, for example they were perfectly happy to swap the glass of bubbly, that came as part of our menu, for a glass of red wine. The food however was variable. For a starter I had the cauliflower veloute with truffle oil, truffle of course is a strong flavour but it was so strong that you couldn't taste the cauliflower at all. My wife started with the cod bites which, whilst crispy on the outside had soggy batter inside (too high a temperature in the fryer we reckon). My main was steamed sea breem which was perfectly cooked and outstanding, my wife had the flat iron steak which, although edible, was rather on the tough side. For desert my wife had the chocolate brownie with sauce which was very chocolatey indeed. I had the apple crumble with ice cream (I did ask for custard instead but they were unable to provide this) this consisted of some coldish cooked apple with a literal sprinkling of crumble dust on top, the ice cream didn't begin to melt until after id finished the 'crumble' . For me the crumble is the best bit so I was rather disappointed! My wife's wine had a lot of sediment in it and the wine waiter was happy to replace it, he wasn't so happy to replace mine when it also turned out to have large lumps of sediment in it, however my wife insisted and he did. The new wine tasted far better and we got the impression that they were using up the dregs in old bottles when they first served us. First and last time in a Gordon Ramsay restaurant for us.

Everything about this place was rather remarkable. So remarkable, we went to the restaurant twice in the same week. Both times, we were fortunate enough to be served by Chris, a wonderful waiter who was very nice, quick, attentive and understanding. He is the best waiter we've had in a long, long time. The food was great, hot, fresh and delicious. The menu was very varied, while the Sunday menu was definitely reduced, it was still nice and had great options. For our first visit, we had cannelloni, butter chicken and naan, and 2 sodas. Payed 68.14 pounds, with tip. For our second visit, we had the tuna tartar, repeated the cannelloni, had fish and chips 3 sodas and for dessert the chocolate fondant. Payed 112 pounds, with tip. 10/10!

This place is a great, casual but upscale place to bring your kids and for a good, comfort meal. The servers were all pleasant and accommodating. And the ambience is low lit, cool, with an extensive wine and drink list. The mushroom cannelloni dish was so rich. Bummed that the ice cream bar wasn't open, but the Mac and cheese was cheesy and a good portion for free kids meal. Highly recommend.

Heddon Street Kitchen in Soho offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately draws you in. The exterior is beautifully adorned with pink / purple flowers, creating a charming vibe, and the interior continues this welcoming ambiance. Service by the French server Christian was attentive and friendly throughout the evening. For an appetizer, we chose the Caesar Salad, which featured a deliciously unique confit egg yolk dressing that elevated the dish. For the main course, we opted for the Beef Wellington (cooked to medium), which was flavorful and cooked well, deserving a solid 4/5. The steamed sea bream with bok choy and a spicy sauce offered a nice contrast with its light and slightly fiery flavors. We also tried the Idiot Sandwich, reminiscent of grilled cheese but filled with lamb - a creative twist, but didn't stand out. Drinks were on point! Desserts stole the show. Both the Black Forest Cheesecake and Sticky Toffee Pudding were indulgent and perfectly executed, leaving a lasting impression as the best part of the meal. While the combination of food, service, and ambiance was enjoyable, the price tag - over $400 for four people - felt a bit steep for the overall quality. That said, it's still worth visiting for the experience and unique menu.

One of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants the Heddon Street Kitchen offered a nice place for a reunion with London friends in the outdoor section*. The food was very good but maybe not the best I've ever had. *Notably, as the darkness started to evolve, the outdoor section was visited by the next level of patrons, i.e. an army of mice running out and in minute openings in the ground and enjoying the leftovers from the designated patrons.

First time dining here and Lidia took very good care of us. She gave great recommendations (chocolate fondant for the win) and was very attentive during our meal. We enjoyed chatting with her abiut her life here in London. The ambiance was great and we had a wonderful meal. We were not rushed (we got the Beef Wellington) and we enjoyed watching people and supping in our cocktails until the main event.

The service was definitely top notch. It's what you would expect from a Gordon Ramsey establishment. As for the food, it was just ok. We ordered the famous beef Wellington for two. The pastry was crispy on the outside but it was a bit too much and became soggy. The ratio to mushroom "feeling" and beef was not great. The flavor itself was a bit bland. I definitely suggest if you want to try it, go for the smaller portion and try other things on the menu.

Came here to try the classic fish and chips dish as a tourist cause who else does it better than mr gordan ramsy amirite:') The fish and chips were very good, what I expected. The fish was actually very big and tasted really fresh! Overall would recommend, but giving 4 stars cause the service was superrr slow. We were in the restaurant for at least 2 hours even though we only got 2 things.

I had high hopes walking into Heddon Street Kitchen with my family of 5 on Christmas. We were seated upstairs next to a window with a draft on a cold night. Our waitress did not smile once. The food was awful. My son and I shared beef wellington and the other 3 had the turkey meal. None of us finished our meals. We had to prepay $1,000 for this meal which included a mandatory 20% tip for service that was sub par. We laughed about it but it was a huge disappointment!

What an amazing night out! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. It was a dream to eat at a Ramsey restaurant in London. We got the beef Wellington for two and it was mouth watering delicious. I added a picture but it's after I already ate one of the pieces of beef since it was that good. The steak was as soft as butter. They even have mocktails, which always feels inclusive on a huge bar menu. Finally, the cheesecake was a highlight with the pistachio ice cream. It goes without saying that the ambiance is top notch.

My rating should read - service 5-star, food 3-star. We had high expectations for this restaurant. Very friendly and personal services were lovely (the Brazilian server who brought us drinks was absolutely delightful and made our visit memorable), but the food did not quite deliver. Beer Battered Cod Bites had crispy, flavourful batter and were tasty, and tartare sauce was lovely. However Grilled Flat Iron Steak was very salty. It's easy to add salt according to your taste and it also came with chimichurri sauce, so there was no need to sprinkle so much flaky salt on it. Chunky Chips were lovely and flavourful, but again too much salt on it. We were surprised to learn they didn't have any Dijon mustard for our steak. Seriously?? Vanilla Pannacotta was nothing like we expected. It was just a soft whipped cream/mascarpone served in a glass, and was very sweet and totally disappointing. We would love to see some tweaks in the kitchen, and we are happy to try again.

To say we were disappointed would be an understatement. To preface, we dined here on Christmas day with a prefix menu. We both understand how difficult holiday service can be, however, for £165 per person (tip, tax, drinks & water not included) at a Gordon Ramsey establishment, we expected more than this lackluster dinner. First, the restaurant seemed extremely over committed and understaffed, especially for a busy service day. The kitchen was consistently backed up and our server looked like she had way too large of a section. Here is our experience: We started with four small bites, which were nothing to write home about. Second course was an appetizer of two underwhelming small scallops in the shell. Perhaps the wrong choice of the three options given, but you would hope each dish would be equally as delicious. Keep in mind none of these dishes were relatively substantial in size or susstinance. While we waited for our mains, the party of six next to us (who received and finished their apps after we did) received their entrees before us. Very poorly timed coursing to say the least. Between the appetizer and entree being delivered, we waited roughly 40 minutes. By the time our main course was delivered we were 1 hour 20 minutes into service. We frequently observed the surrounding tables not receiving their silverware before the meal, and left sitting with hot food on the table. In order to avoid this we asked three different staff members (including our server) to bring over the utensils while we waited. Our requests were forgotten/ignored and we received our Beef Wellington only to wait two more minutes before getting any utensils - quite avoidable especially since we asked multiple times for them prior. Overall, the Wellington was probably the saving grace as far as food was concerned, but we weren't blown away. For dessert, we chose the holiday pudding (not great) and the cheesecake, which was good, but it was definitely not a traditional "cheesecake" (just sweet whipped cheese in a ramekin). The hot chocolate we order was comparable to a store bought packet. Tasted more like steamed milk without much flavor. Finally, and this one was the biggest disappointment, they ended service with a cheese board that consisted of ONE piece of cheese and THREE little raspberries. Of all cheeses, they chose probably the most divisive of all- a STRONG blue. We couldn't even eat it and a lot of the tables surrounding us barely touched theirs. Very poor choice especially considering that it is the last impression of the meal and something we were looking forward to. Toward the end of the night the table seating seemed to slow down, but despite many people having left, we still felt unattended to in many ways. Some instances include having to repeatedly ask for the silverware, dirty napkins being left on our table even after plates were cleared, not being checked on until our food was nearly finished or finished completely, etc. At no point did management come over to address the delays in the service, which EVERY table was experiencing. Considering the rate of service, we requested the bill once the cheese was dropped at our table and it did not arrive until about ten/fifteen minutes later. Our whole experience was almost three hours long - NOT by our choice. For context our reservation was at 7:15 and we paid the bill at 10:00. For a five course meal (two of which being very small bites) we felt this was shocking, considering our reservation slot allotted a two hour time limit for a party of two. Being from a country with a big tipping culture we understand and have NO issues with giving gratuity, especially on a holiday. In fact, we expect to tip. I can count on one hand how many times we have ever tipped under 20% in the US due to poor service. However 15% was added on the bill (more than the standard 10% in the UK). In addition to the meal, which we paid for in full upon reserving, we got two water bottles and a hot chocolate, bringing the additional charges to £73. All of the other tables paid with a hostess or manager but our server came over with the card reader. While the tip amount was optional, we would have felt extremely uncomfortable asking to reduce it. We did not. Ultimately, we know a server cannot control the kitchen delays, but she (and the support staff) did not handle the evening with the attention or consideration that would normally be expected for these circumstances. Overall, for the high price this was one of the more disappointing meals we've had, especially when we looked forward to a nice Christmas meal on holiday and were excited to try a Gordon establishment in London. Maybe on a regular day it would be different/better but we would be hard pressed to take that risk again.

My husband and I attended dinner at the Heddon Street Kitchen for my birthday. Thus far one of our higher end Gordon Ramsay, restaurants. Reservations were made through the website. And we had an ease of making reservations and adjusting times to fit our needs. The restaurant was both stylish and comfortable with indoor and outdoor eating areas. It was evening time or night time and we did find that it was just a little bit dark in the restaurant to comfortably view the menu, but the atmosphere was very nice. Our server was impeccable and was on top of our needs throughout the meal. She was friendly. She made fantastic recommendations of drinks and sides as asked. I don't usually drink, but I found the Bellini to be fresh and tasty. The appetizers of the prawn cocktail and the Ahi Tuna were shared between my husband and I. The flavor, of course, was on point. As Americans who see Gordon Ramsay on tv we couldn't NOT get the beef Wellington. The presentation was beautiful and the flavor was fantastic. As we were celebrating my birthday, the server was kind enough to bring a small birthday presentation. We did, however, additionally order desserts. We found the portions to be quite large. More than we may have expected for a European restaurant. And we ate more than we might have, anxious to enjoy the meal, apps, & dessert. Tho we live in a popular US city, our Ramsay Restaurant options are far away & so we wanted to enjoy multiple options. Prices. Well, you pay for the name & the quality & reputation behind it. We knew and accepted in advance that it would be a pricey meal and this was not even one of his highest end restaurants. We enjoyed his lower end / chain-style area places on the same trip too. I didn't leave feeling bilked or cheated. I wouldnt argue against slightly smaller portions (to experience more or prices - but we enjoyed the meal throughly. My husband used to work in the service industry & while we know policy & customs are different, he still tipped our server above the meal cost as she strongly contributed to our enjoyable overall experience.

Came here for dinner with a large party and had a good time. Food was average-good, but portions were larger than expected, especially fish & chips. Would recommend sharing that for sure! The menu was a little bit all over the place, with british, american, and even japanese sushi listed. Umm, what? But other than that, I enjoyed the appetizers and desserts quite a bit, especially the shrimp cocktail, poke and sticky toffee pudding.

We visited here for my 30th birthday dinner. In a way, this was the last ditch effort in my eyes for Gordon to save London's food scene that we experienced up until then (severely under seasoned, underwhelming food). To get to it, we started with the wings, shared the wellington, and finished with the sticky toffee pudding. You see the rating. 3/5. I must say, though everything was *technically* done well, I was not blown away by flavors. The wings were probably the best part, but extremely messy to eat. You need a wet napkin to truly feel your hands are clean. The wellington was cooked to perfection, but the overall dish had virtually no seasoning whatsoever. I was underwhelmed by the potatoes it comes with also. The sticky toffee pudding was just fine.

Been wanting to cross off a "Gordon Ramsay" restaurant for a long time. Finally got the opportunity here in London. The location is fantastic. A little side street of Regent Street right near Piccadilly Circus. It's tucked back in the corner. The aesthetic of the restaurant is 5 star. Dimly lit with a very rustic feel. We were early for our reservation but were seated immediately. The server offered water - still or sparkling. We got still. Chose a couple of wines off the menu - delicious and not too badly priced for London (£14 each). We got a bread basket as a starter which was 4 of the same rolls, equally overcooked underneath and a hazard for teeth. The main reason we were there was for the famous beef Wellington. £120 for 2 people, which came with a small side of mashed potatoes. The server informed us of a 45 min - 1 hour wait because it's cooked to order - PERFECT. The food eventually came and fortunately for the chef, the restaurant was dark. It wasn't until after eating the ends and reaching the middle did we notice just how undercooked the beef was. By this point it was too late to return the food because we already ate some. It was to the point of being inedible. I don't mind a medium rare steak, but not my beef Wellington. On top of that, the layer of mushroom was far too thick and overpowered (the very impressive) pastry. On getting the bill, we noticed that we were also charged £7 for tap water. You read that correctly. It wasn't the worst meal I've ever had, but 'quality per $' value, it was up there on the bad list.

one of our favorite dining experiences in London. we loved it so much we went twice during our stay. the Beef Wellington is a must. exceptional. also had the caesar salad which was so fresh. great selection of wine

My friend really really wanted to eat at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant while we were in London. He also really really wanted the Beef Wellington experience. After some reading, it looked like the reviews at Heddon Street Kitchen would be a good place to start. Although we made reservations, we were informed our table wasn't ready. Fine, we had some cocktails/wine in the waiting area by the bar. The ambiance of the restaurant is quite nice -- dimly lit, some accent lighting, and overall rustic and not pretentious. We decided to share 4 courses -- the Beef Wellington for 2 (comes with 4 cuts), the pork belly, and the lamb main course. We also got a few sides of mac and cheese (as the wellington came with mashed potatoes). I took a star off due to our server. Initially we weren't quite sure what we wanted, and as we were ordering we were informed the wellington would take 45 mins to make... fine... we mistakenly said 2 orders and then also the additional 2 main courses --- way too much food for 4 people! The server had only been gone less than 5 mins when we told him we wanted only 1 order of the wellington (for 2) and the other 2 mains and sides. Instead of accommodating, he got very upset and said it was too late. This is a fine dining restaurant and it was less than 5 mins since we ordered--we should be able to change our minds in a few mins. He left upset and we asked to speak to the manager. The manager accommodated our request, but the previous server never came back to wait our table. He had someone else serve us the remainder of the meal! Overall the food quality isn't worth the price we paid. The wellington mushroom pate was overly dry and salty. The beef itself was well-cooked, but not sure it was worth the wait, the price, the annoyance of having to deal with a snotty server. I'm not likely to visit this restaurant again based on our experience here.

First the positive, The ambiance and overall appearance is great. Food smells great, properly lit for a great time, had the Gordon name, figured I had to try it. For the rest, Booked a table online in advance, got there a few minutes early. Ended up waiting 45 minutes past my scheduled time for a table for one.. They'd stopped serving the Wellington Beef, which was the primary reason I wanted to go. So id ordered the Wagyu meatballs as a starter along with the Sunday Roast dinner. Both were extremely underwhelming considering with the Ramsay name one would expect it to all be top notch and worthy of its price point. The Wagyu meatballs were about the diameter of a pound coin and literally tasted like pre made freezer meatballs. The tomato sauce tasted like unseasoned tomato puree from a can.. totally disappointed. Hoped the main would be better, also was average. There are so many other places to try in London. You're better off with a pint and Chip Butty from a chip shop.

My friends and I decided to dine in at Heddon Street Kitchen to finally experience Gordon Ramsay's world and we're so happy we did ! After completing our research of all the Must Do's for first timers to London we stumbled upon this restaurant and added it to the list. The attentiveness, finesse and flavor profiles were amazing like couldn't recommend this establishment and our waiter Ionut enough. We ordered cocktails and Main Entrees, but since there was Golden Hour we were able to enjoy Bread +Spreads until our food arrived. Literally not even 10 mins later our food arrives to the table and it's been set before our eyes. The flavors were potent and made you truly savor every bite, I tried a little of every dish and it was great across the board. Thank you HSK for everything ! Menu items...2 Dry Aged Rib Eye steaks (Med Rare-PERFECT cook), 1 Baked Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni, 1 side of Chips, Mac and Cheese and Fine Green Beans +Cocktails- Raspberry Mojito & Sweet Caroline +Dessert-Sticky Toffee Pudding

Food was limited. Not many choices. No nightly specials. Ribs were extremely salty and peppery. We had a hard time finding something we wanted to eat on the menu. No side with a $42.00 pound steak? Most chefs like to include tasteful sides that compliment the protein entree. Not here... Both of us experienced terrible stomach issues after eating here. Sure seemed like food poisoning. We won't be back.

Dined here recently. Service & staff were terrific. Very nice atmosphere. Food just ok. I wouldn't recommend as there are so many great restaurants around town.

I stumbled across this restaurant by accident and I am so glad that we stopped in. It was early morning so we ordered breakfast. The breakfast menu was a bit small but the food was very good. I ordered the eggs Benedict, fabulous. The ambience is very nice and they have a large large outdoor patio seating area.

Ex Brits visiting from USA, our son picked this restaurant as he'd seen the shows on TV, of course we had to get the famous Beef Wellington, it was delicious. Ambience was spot on, service good, food tasty and hot, it was fun. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

The Wellington was good (but it certainly wasn't worth waiting an hour and a half for). Upon placing our order the server told us the Wellington would take about 40-45 minutes... 90 minutes later it finally came. We are convinced there was a miscommunication between the kitchen and the servers as a nearby table that got seated 30 minutes after us mysteriously received their Wellington before us... Whatever the case may be for the slow service, they did remove a starter from our bill to make up for the inconvenience. All in all, an underwhelming (and slightly annoying) first time Wellington experience.

AVOID Went with sole goal of getting the kids to the make your own ice cream station. After eating and watching the table next to us go upstairs and their kids coming back with ice creams. We were then told by the manager it closed due to safety reasons. When I explained that the server had also told me it was in fact due to a private event she said I was not supposed to know that and should not have been told that. So in addition to a disappointing experience I was blatantly lied to. Note website says ice cream station is always open and not available for private hire I expected better

Tucked away in an almost nondescript part of Regent Street, this is just one of many nice restaurants in the area. It's, literally, surrounded by them. Fortunately, all of the restaurants here have their own unique flair, so it shouldn't be too hard to choose which one you want to try first; just ask your gut what it's hankering for. Having dined in most of the others, I can say from experience that this is one of the nicer ones. It has a secluded enough patio that it doesn't feel like it's in the way of foot traffic like some of the others, the interior is spacious and swanky, and- while pricey- the food and drinks are pretty top-notch. If you're coming during the week, chances are you won't need a booking, as walk-ins are more than welcome and it isn't too busy on a workday. During the weekend, however, it might be a different story. The menu is as grand as it gets without being overwhelming. Whether you're craving seafood or steak, they've got you covered. As always, I have to say a few words about the boozy portion of the menu: Cocktails. Delicous. Get them. Moving on. Given that I'm not really a seafood person, (at all), and didn't want to shell out £40+ on a rump steak I wasn't sure I'd like, I had to go for the next-safest option and try the burger. While not quite worth the almost £20 it cost, as it was a bit on the tougher side, I could tell that the meat was pretty high-quality, the Sriracha Mayo gave it just enough of a kick to make it "better-than-your-average-burger," and those fries were to die for. I just wish they'd include something a little more gourmet than jarred ketchup to dip them in. One of this spots biggest selling points is the great service and upscale ambiance. Perfect for when you want to impress someone, and don't mind paying for it.

One of Gordon's !! Really nice food options , the roasted chicken was amazing .. the atmosphere is very posh I might say :) proper coat check nice menu and wine selection

The food & the drinks are outstanding but MOST of all, the service is truly unmatched. We felt like we had a dinner tailored just for us. Andre and Tibi from the bar were exceptional. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Order the toffee pudding.

Came here on Christmas night. Prepaid a lot of money for price fixed meal. Onion soup was cold and clumpy, burrata had no flavor, and beef Wellington was fatty, chewy, and cold. Kitchen was managed horribly, it took us 4 hours to get out of the restaurant. We traveled from the US thinking we were going to have an amazing experience, and were extremely disappointed. Not recommended until Gordon puts his own restaurant on kitchen nightmares and fixes his s#!+ show!

The food is average and the service is horrible. The food takes an hour to come to your table, and the food wasn't even up to par. The servers just stand around along with the other staff, practically doing nothing. The bathroom door was broken and we could not use it without the staff's help. At the end of the meal, the host carried toilet paper through the middle of the restaurant, apparently the bathroom was out. However the ambiance was nice other than these events. Overall, would not come again.

Great dinner with the Beef Wellington followed by the sticky toffee pudding. Andrés took great care of us to complete the wonderful dining experience.

Food is on par. If you are in the area, don't have high hopes, nothing spectacular. The service is absolutely bad. The host is always with a rather unfriendly face and the waiter are pretty rude during my entire experience. It also took them 45 minutes to prepare a steamed sea bream. Not recommend in general, take your money elsewhere

We came here during a trip to London because it is one of Gordon Ramsey's restaurants and we wanted to try the beed Wellington! As a citizen from the US, I was felt like the service was mediocre at best. However this could just be the way the wait staff are in Europe. Despite this, the waiter we had was kind. I also find it odd paying for water, especially when it is room temperature and comes in a bottle and I am given a cup but no ice. I asked for ice. As an American I also am not used to paying for bread and butter. Despite the cost, the bread and butter here were exceptional and a good start to the meal. The food here was very interesting and I would have to say pretty good. Beef Wellington for the first time was odd and a new flavor, but was cooked at the right level that we liked and the pastry crust was good. The food here did not disappoint. In terms of drinks, this place has a good selection of mixed drinks that all look and sound very good. I opted for a berry boost and my girlfriend had a le frand fizz drink. Both were very good and very tasty with our meal. This is was pretty nice place when we went and the location is even better. There were reservations available unlike the other restaurants we tried and I felt we had a good experience here.

*visited pre-covid19: Summer 2019* Wow wow wow. Delicious! Second time eating at a GR restaurant. Chose this one as we didn't plan out our trip details nor make reservations. We came for lunch and did not have to wait for a table! Loved every dish that we ordered, and surprisingly, the fish and chips is probably the best I've ever had. Even though only one piece of fish, it is a HUGE one. Fried with just the right amount of batter and also tasted fresh! (Both the frying and the fish taste.) We also got the rib eye steak and fillet steak. Obviously, I enjoyed the fillet steak more. Both were done to medium rare, just the way I like it. Very tender, juicy, and flavourful steaks. The only critique that I have: plating could have been a bit more impressive. I also loved the open kitchen in this restaurant! I love watching people work in the kitchen (not as dramatic as Hell's kitchen, but a pleasant watch.) Still dreaming of the day where I'm invited to Hell's Kitchen and/or finding Gordon Ramsay at one of his restaurants!

ATTENTION GORDON!!! Honestly, to be calling this a gordon ramsay's restaurant, it is such a disgrace. The beef wellington is rawwwwwwww. Again its rawwwwww listen to gordon ramsays voice. The so called 'tenderloin' wasnt cooked before covered. It should be cooked first so when its served it would be cooked to perfection. The so called 'tenderloin' is either came from a bad supplier or you guys didnt clean the silver skin. A tenderloin cut its perfectly round cylindrical shape but this wasnt. It was like a combination of something else because there was the muscle part inside the tenderloin what?? Tenderloin is pure mix of fat and meat that i wouldnt be able to taste any muscle or accumulated fat. So the tenderloin is such a disgrace yuckk. I could easily give this a 1 star but the spicy tuna tartare and the cheesecake really gave the other star. They were very splendid and up to my taste. But the tenderloin is a big no no. For £175 for that kind of beef? I could get an a5 and cooked better by myself. I even cooked better beef wellington at home. Not worth it. Dont even bother coming here for the beef wellington. Such a disgrace and should be fixed. Please fix!

This was on my must try list when we booked our vacation to London. I've always wanted to try the famous beef Wellington and the sticky toffee pudding. We arrived about 20min ahead of our reservation and really appreciated it that they sat us down right away. (Not like a lot of restaurants in SF and Seattle, that make you wait until your reservation time. We're not locals, we're on vacation and sometimes we overestimate the amount of time for an attraction. If the table is available, why can't we be seated?) We got the beef Wellington, fried calamari, and sticky toffee pudding. Beef Wellington - a little underwhelming considering all the hype. I've tried to make beef Wellington before and it's so hard to get the bottom not soggy. So I can appreciate how the whole pastry was still crunchy while the beef inside was juicy. I thought that was amazing. I think there was just too much of the mushroom layer going on. The mash potatoes were so good. Fried calamari - really good. Fried perfectly and it had just the right level of spiciness Sticky toffee pudding - didn't really like this. Too sweet but the texture is weird. Very spongy. It didn't wow me like I thought it would but at least I can now say I've been to a Gordon Ramsey restaurant.

Ok, so having written up the review I forgot to do from last May...now... We went 2 weeks ago...I had booked for a late lunch but rang because we had finished shopping - can we come earlier...no problem. So good start A little bubbles as a treat while we went through the menu. Great service, attentive as before. I revisited the burger, my partner went for the duck salad (is it as good or better than the Ivy in the Park's version?...well I will be back to try it that's for sure, as she thought it was excellent). A glass of rouge for me and blanc for her, a little sorbet, espressos and a very nice, slow paced, unrushed meal Cost incl service £120...but take away the booze and it was £60, service £15...thus food was £45 and well worth it It was pretty full too but that was not an issue; they had the staff to cope...and that is very refreshing these days, frankly We will return

Stopped here for lunch with the family. Great service, great food and a nice atmosphere. It's a little on the pricey side but we knew that going in. We had the baked cod, a California role, fish and chips, and a burger.

Not sure what's going on here BUT - very disappointing experience. Food was okay maybe even above average BUT below average service dominated the evening. Ordered still water on waiters first visit. It took over 30 minutes and had to remind waiter twice. Once with the first round of appetizers and again with the 2nd round of appetizers. The beef Wellington was good but I really wanted a second glass of wine. I ordered the second glass when the entree arrived. Wine never came. Had planned on ordering desert but the waiter never asked/offered a desert menu and besides - it probably would have taken several reminders and more patience than I had left. If someone had asked how dinner was then I would have shared the details but like everything else that night - the staff was too busy or preoccupied too care. This is the last G Ramsey restaurant I'll be visiting.

I came here for my birthday celebration from New York City, and couldn't be more pleased! Rafael's hospitality is unlike any I've ever experienced. Of all the restaurants I've been in the world, this service is by far the best. I would come back here just for the way my friends and I were treated. Firstly, the beef Wellington is a must-order. A buttery flaky crust, flavorful seasoned meat, and a delicious sauce to compliment. We also ordered the honey carrots, which were exceptional. The espresso martini is by far the best we've ever had, and the sticky toffee pudding left me yearning for another bite. I will come back here to experience the whole menu and amazing service. Ambiance was casual chic. Thank you Rafael and team!

Ramsey restaurant so had to try it and we were not disappointed- well, only in the Mac and cheese which my friends said was bland and lacked much flavor. But everything else was delish! We had the marinated olives and Padron peppers (think shishito peppers but with a smokier flavor) which were both tasty and good sized to share. My friends both got the burgers and I had slow roasted pork belly which was salty, a little fatty, with some delicious meat in between -- just the way I like it! The apple sauce that came with it paired nicely. Cabernet Sauvignon went nicely with it as well but the espresso martini and mai tais were fantastic as well. The crisps that came with the burgers are easily shareable. We sat outside and it was scenic but not overly loud or crowded as you are kind of tucked away in side streets. The sorbet for dessert was a nice touch - nothing fancy- but good.

Not impressed. Finally got to London and had lunch here. Ordered the Wellington for two- portions were fine- the tenderloin was not butter soft and lacked salt. I have had better filet at an Outback Steakhouse. Underwhelming to say the least. Service was inconsistent. A food runner brought our food out, but at no time during our meal did our sever check back in with us. I will say the sticky toffee pudding was amazing- but save your money and go somewhere else.

Great food. Everything we ordered was well prepared and nicely arranged. Good. Size portions. We overestimated our abilities :) consider sharing if you are not too hungry.

Shortened- they do not disclose ingredients and then gaslight you and tell you that you should have assumed something like truffle would be in a dish and then do nothing to help the situation and send you home hungry and $200 poorer. Full story - We came here for Beef Wellington. We chose this spot over another restaurant because the other restaurant listed truffle as an ingredient in their Beef Wellington. I have a very strong aversion to truffle. Turns out this location also adds truffle to their Beef Wellington and doesn't disclose it on the ingredient list. Long story but they literally did nothing about it when I shared with them that I couldn't eat my dinner that I (and my 2 year old) patiently waited an hour for then had to go home hungry. I spoke to the manager who told me it was my problem and that I should have assumed. He further retorted that I should have said something about the foods I don't like when they asked what my allergies were... I am still confused by this given that I'm not allergic to truffle and it wasn't listed on the menu or disclosed by the waitress. Anyway, $200 later and I'm still hungry and pretty devastated by the whole experience and how I was treated. I would encourage you to go to the many other locations that disclose their ingredients and treat their customers with respect and kindness! I have a popular food Instagram that I was going to feature them on. Brought my professional camera and took some beautiful photos. How restaurants treat their customers matter. My followers will take their money elsewhere.

Delicious meal with a strip steak while my wife has Sunday roast. The seasoning was on point but the highlight was the silky smooth mashed potatoes - seated outside on the patio and enjoyed our meal with the sounds of the city surrounding us. Great experience!

Where do i start.... For a restaurant that uses Gordon's name, standards should be way higher! Went there for my birthday and wow what a disappointment! Our friends had steak for 3 people. It arrived stone cold. Serving plate was cold also. My husband asked waitress is it suppose to be cold. She said no,brought it back to the kitchen. Came back with a bowl of mash and chips( compliments from a cheff). Important to say,this piece of cold steak on a stone cold serving plate was £190!!!! A disgrace. Kids had mash with sausage and pasta with meatballs. Meals were cold (plates cold aswell). At the end,waitress brought an ice cream for kids and literally dropped one bowl of ice cream on the table,because none of us told her who ordered chocolate ice cream( flavour ordered was vanilla!).Order was mixed up. But no dramas,child ate chocolate instead of vanilla ice cream. But waitress's attitude was way too much on the top of all the experience we had in this restaurant. Do not remember if i have ever left a restaurant feeling so unhappy and so dissappointed. Was suppose to be a nice dinner for my 40th. But what a joke it was. :) Avoid at all costs (unless you want to pay ridiculous money for cold meals).

My wife, daughter and I decided to dine at Gordon Ramsey's restaurant. The waiter was great the food was underwhelming for the price. We ended up paying 190 dollars for 2 cods and a burger. The fish was cooked beautifully, it came with mashed potatoes that were (extremely) buttery. We ordered a side of spinach that had no flavor (Ramsey would have sent them back and claimed if they had seasoned them), we also ordered a side of carrots that were very sweet. The burger was good overall. Would I go back-no not for all the hype and the subpar food. Im not bitter I'm glad we tried it, but will skip it the next time we are in town.

Id suggest going somewhere else. Traveled from the states to experience this place. Worst idea. Cold food. Slow service. Way too overpriced.

Very disappointing! I could imagine Chef Ramsay sampling the dishes we had and sending them back to the kitchen. My partner had a ribeye steak that was fatty and over cooked, I had the celeriac steak that was bland and smothered in a gravy that tasted like it was prepared with onion soup mix. I would not recommend this restaurant and I will never be returning.

It was a go big or go home moment for my very first Beef Wellington. I mean, if you've made it to 36 years old and never had a proper welly, it's got to be Gordon's classic dish or bust, right? My husband made reservations at Heddon Street for a late Saturday night dinner about a week before our long weekend in London. Night of, our table was ready when we arrived a few minutes early. We were promptly visited by a sommelier, who shortly thereafter delivered a beautiful Syrah. We enjoyed chatting with her the rest of the night as she checked in on us often to refill our glasses and ensure we were enjoying everything, including the wine. We couldn't decide on just one or two apps, so as is our MO, we over-ordered and got three. The turmeric chicken wings were my favorite of the three! So flavorful and crispy. The sauce was sticky and had the perfect sweet/savory balance I love so much. However the 'nduja filled gnocchi were a close, close second. The poor chips with truffle aioli would have been the star app anywhere else (they were quite tasty) but they paled in comparison to the wings and gnocchi. About 45-minutes after we placed the order (it takes some extra time for the wellington), the masterpiece arrived! Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned. My mouth started watering the minute they put it down in front of us. Everything about the dish was just perfect. From the tender, salty beef to the warm, flaky pastry crust... Even the accoutrements were mind blowing. I mean, can we talk about the truffle mashed potatoes for a minute? How do they even make a bowl of potatoes taste so rich and earthy yet light and airy all at the same time?!? Sadly, after all of that food, we were way too full for dessert. Next time we visit (oh, there will be a next time!) we will skip an app or two and go for the sticky toffee pudding. Thank you Gordon Ramsay and team for such a wonderful night out and a life-changing first taste of Beef Wellington!
