Jean-Georges at The Connaught

One of my favorite hotels in London so decided to try their afternoon tea 🫖 I think it would be better if it was daytime but I booked the 16:30 one so it was already dark outside. The sandwiches were okay but nothing extraordinary, except the egg and truffle one and the one with the turkey which were delicious ! I had the Lemongrass & Ginger tea because I was sick and it seemed like the healthiest option and it was okay just arrived a bit cold. The service was super slow and they took their time preparing every thing. The staff was very kind though and there was live music a harp playing which was nice but it stopped often so they was silence. They gave us a small sugar pastry in between which was nothing remarkable and it seemed pointless. Then it was time for the desserts which were very nicely presented and there was a wide variety. I was glad that everyone got their own dessert tower and they took very good care of gluten free people. The scones were the best ! So warm and soft and fresh and the strawberry jam wow ! Best one I’ve had ! The clotted cream was a bit too hard and thick not easy to spread. From the desserts I absolutely loved the Blood Orange Cheesecake ! But the rest were not my taste, I’m not a chocolate person and they were too dark and bitter for my taste, also don’t like lime stuff. It is unlimited refill so I suggest you go with an empty stomach and really hungry. They don’t give you bags to take home though 💔 The price is also alright for this. No hard feelings it was a good afternoon tea but I’ve been to many so I am very strict with my reviews and like to give advice on what to change to become better 🎀

Jean-Georges at The Connaught is a refined yet surprisingly relaxed dining room — elegant without the stiffness you sometimes find in Mayfair. The large windows overlooking Mount Street give the space a beautiful energy during the day, especially at lunch. The menu blends French technique with Asian influences; try the crispy salmon sushi or the black truffle pizza if you want something playful but perfectly executed. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors balanced, and presentation thoughtful without being overdesigned. Service is polished and professional, though at times a bit distant — efficient rather than warm. It’s worth mentioning that the atmosphere can get quite lively in the evening, so for a calmer experience, a weekday lunch or early dinner is ideal. Tip: ask for a table by the window if available, and don’t skip dessert — the warm chocolate cake is one of the best in London. Jean-Georges is where you go not just to eat well, but to feel quietly indulged.

Dinner at Jean Georges at The Connaught looks great and the service is polished but the food landed in the “good, not special” zone for me. The best thing I had was a small complimentary soup from the chef genuinely excellent, and I wish it were on the menu. Nice room, worth a try if you’re nearby.

My friend and I went out for her birthday dinner, and the experience was 10/10. The food and the ambience were amazing. Shoutout to the staff and for the lovely waitress Carolina who made the service and evening unforgettable.

Really enjoyed dinner here, sadly don't have a picture of the lamb chops but they were cooked and seasoned to perfection and couldn't recommend them enough. Our favourite starters were the crispy salmon bites aabd the tuna tartare. Service is great here as you'd expect and if you go for a drink at any of the Connaught's bars they are happy to move your drinks and tab with you.

I hate writing this, but if management reads these, I think you should pay attention here! Your restaurant is beautiful and has nice views out the windows. The wine list is extensive, your menu looks great, and your team tries to provide great service. You have everything it takes to be great, but you're simply not. Highlights: your somm Veronica is truly exceptional, so is her colleague from France, but I did not get his name sadly. She made our visit one to remember. Talked openly about wines she loves, educated us, made us feel like family. She is your greatest asset currently. He also did a great job and let us try another dessert wine that he wanted to contrast with what we were drinking. Drinks and wines by the glass were great, food is good but not exceptional. Dining room is really pretty and nicely lit. Our server could not have been nicer, but he was clearly new at this and a bit out of his league. I realize we dined on a Monday night, but you should never have your B-team on site for dinner at a place with your reputation. Lowlights: Without any discussion of the menu and prior to us even receiving our drinks or any bread, the server asked "are you ready to order", I was honestly a bit taken aback! You did not give us any thoughts about the menu or ask if we had questions, nothing to help us along here. This was a big miss. Amuse came out and it was excellent, did not even clear that plate and our appetizers were delivered. Never bring food to the table before clearing the last course, this is common knowledge and far inferior restaurants do this better than you did. It also immediately made me feel rushed. Server trying to get our order quickly, then food showing up rapid fire. I had to ask for the entree to be slowed down and the server said he would wait 5-10 minutes to put it in. 25-30 minutes later he comes back and asks if he can fire our entrees? In my mind, I'm thinking we already agreed to this and I don't work here so don't bring me issues. Just do what we discussed, not hard. Finally, when your restaurant has few diners on a Monday night, don't seat all the customers next to each other. You seated 2 different parties of 2 across from us when there were 10 other tables you could have put them at. It created a bottleneck in that hallway and people were having trouble getting through there. Rookie mistake by the people who seat your customers, think it through, space people out, create a bit of privacy. I don't think we will be back, but we did enjoy certain aspects of the experience. Again, our server was very personable but is not ready for the job due to you not training him on what excellent service looks like. Thanks again to both Somms, they made it worth being there! It would have been a 3 star review otherwise.

We came for the Afternoon Tea Experience, and from the very beginning, the staff were incredibly welcoming. During the service, we had the pleasure of being served by Fernando and Carolina — two wonderful Italian hosts who were not only very knowledgeable about the tea selection, but also explained the entire experience beautifully. They suggested the teas most suited to our tastes and even recommended some great activities to explore in the area. A very special thanks to Kate, she was also extremely accommodating and took the time to share some thoughtful suggestions, which we truly appreciated. The food was fantastic and perfectly paired with the teas, thanks to the team’s guidance — and the pastries were probably the best I’ve ever had in my life. The only thing that could be improved is the ambience: there was no background music in the lobby and could hardly been heard during the experience itself, which would have made the atmosphere even more comfortable and relaxing.

Charming and elegant decor and atmosphere. Creative and diversified menu with quite few options especially for lunch. Service is friendly and competent. I came mainly for the burger which I found to be outstanding. Good bun that does not melt, good quality meat and tasty sauce. It is a solid burger. The other items that I tired were also tasty and delicious.
