Wonderful restaurant. My husband uses a walker and seating was only downstairs which he could not do especially as handrail was trimmed with garland for the holidays. But they were so gracious and opened upstairs dining room especially for us. They were terrific and our service was exceptional and so quiet as we were the only two people in the dining room. Our server, a young man from Naples, Italy was so kind and very friendly and he was a delight. We usually eat here 2 x during our stay and the food was delicious. We shared burrata with tomatoes and pesto which is amazing and then finished off with a bowl of minestrone soup was probably the best we ever ate anywhere. We dined here with 4 others the other night for dinner and everyone was thrilled with service and outstanding food.

Beautiful romantic restaurant and stunning decor. Food delicious although slightly small portion sizes, and I felt that the pork (main course on the set lunch menu) should have come with at least some vegetables, without needing to order an extra side. However, the service was great, staff lovely, and overall a memorable experience for our anniversary. We will definitely go back for special occasions!

What an interesting night. The fire alarm going off, being evaluated, then being let back in, when all clear. But everyone at the restaurant did a great job. Well done The LONDONER HOTEL. This did not distract from a fabulous meal. And we will be coming back to dine with you in the new year. Five Stars.
