Serra

Been twice now and the experience has been pretty much consistent on both occasions. On our return, we were remembered by a number of the guest team which made us feel extra welcome. The Bar - Light and airy with a view from the corner of Grosvenor Square. Drinks were well made (especially my Boulevardier) and bar snacks were provided. We found it much more welcoming than The Eagle bar which we visited post dinner on our first visit. The Restaurant - It features an open kitchen so you can watch the food being prepared and whilst a big space with sectioning feels cosy. Like the bar, it lets light flood in from the floor to ceiling windows facing Grosvenor Square but as it gets dark, is lit to provide a warm atmosphere. The Menu (which is not available online) is kept simple with separate sections each featuring a max of 2 - 5 dishes which we were told will be seasonally so expect changes: * Bread - we had the Buttermilk Pitta (cooked fresh) * Raw & Cured * Pasta - served in two sizes so you could opt for it as a main or starter. * Grill - We had - the Seabass (Whole Day Boat Fish) both times it was cooked to perfection and seasoned to let the quality and taste of the fish shine. It came with fried slices of aubergine and was a good size to share between 2 or 3. - Middlewhite pork "souvlaki" - tasty, chargrilled pork pieces but with what felt like only one serving for the price point we felt more was required. - Sirloin - well cooked but nothing special. We felt that it was the smoked aubergine peperonata it was served with that really shone. * Sharing dishes - we didn't try these ourselves but saw one table have the spiced lamb shoulder and another have the whole chicken which was served chopped into pieces. * Choice of x3 sides - Bitter leaves, Courgettes - really juicy and moreish the first time, a bit dry (we requested more of the emulsion) and smaller / more end bits the second. Fried potatoes - Each like three thick cut chips stuck together in size, which whilst tasty, at £8 for five pieces felt a bit much, Lots of wine choices inc. some reasonable (for Mayfair) priced ones. Be sure to look out for the bottles which feature in the by the glass section, which do not feature in the by the bottle section. Special thanks to Dan who was (a) extremely knowledgeable about the wines and helped us choose the Grillo Cassara the first time and (b) remembered what we ordered when we came back!

Pasta salt and sour, bitter steak with cabbage flavour, we waited bread more than 45 minutes. This not a kitchen at all,This is absolutely inedible, what's wrong with your taste buds? Strange people spent millions for nice hotel, but forgot for the food. Service, design is good.

Really exceptional experience at Serra! From the staff to the food, they really provide a great experience within the amazing setting of The Chancery Rosewood. While there is no menu online, we booked anyway to see what they offer and we couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised. The menu is short but high quality and diverse. Every single dish we ordered was incredible; Starters; Tuna Crudo, Pita Bread and Taramasalata Mains; Market Fish (Seabass) and Gnudi The service matched the high quality of the food! We will certainly return.

I visited Serra at dusk, just before peak dinner time to enjoy a quieter atmosphere and the transition from golden hour to inky indigo night sky. The staff are warm and attentive. Food was excellent with surprising, inventive twists on Mediterranean classics. The Sgroppino cocktail was sparkly and bright, mixed with top tier champagne and not prosecco. Delightfully crispy pancetta on flatbread. Tried an asyrtiko, compliments of the Sommelier. The Foundo Xinomavro paired beautifully with the Devon grass-fed sirloin and fried potato. Date and sesame sponge pudding closed an impeccable dining experience. Will return.

My girlfriend and I came to Serra bar for a few cocktails, and the quality and service was 10/10. We were served by Jamie, who was extremely knowledgeable. Definitely recommend the espresso martinis (made by Jamie). Will be visiting again!

We had the most incredible experience and Dan the sommelier was fantastic. After chatting with her, she was able to provide the most wonderful wine recommendation that complimented our meal. In addition Jack was awesome and made the whole experience really special from start to finish. The birthday card from the team was the cherry on top! We can’t wait to return :)

I had an excellent experience overall. The dinning room atmosphere is superb—open kitchen, full-length windows, and great acoustics create a welcoming ambiance. The menu was well curated: just the right number of choices, all executed to a high standard, with each course delivering a wow factor. The waiter explained the menu clearly, which was incredibly helpful and enhanced the dining experience. A small opportunity for perfection would be keeping all lighting at its best; there were a few semi-recessed bulbs not functioning. Additionally, the auto-flushing system in the loos of the lobby could benefit from a quick check. But these are minor details in what was otherwise an exceptional visit. A nice touch would be napkins placed on guests’ laps when shown to their seats, and I’d welcome this added gesture as part of the polished service. In short, everything was excellent, and I’d highly recommend this dining experience.

Beautiful restaurant, stunning atmosphere. Loved the open kitchen and the team’s attire! It’s a relaxed vibe where you could easily spend the whole evening. The food was immaculate, lovely flavours, executed perfectly. Will be back soon!
