    Food was very good. But we did not like being squished in for two per table. Had to move table to get in and out. Plus £28 for service charge is extortionate.

    Service was a dream as was the food. Surprisingly noisy and the foyer was too busy with queues at the cloakroom. Worth it, though.

    À lovely experience from start to finish. Good service without being over intrusive. The sandwiches and cakes were delicious with extras offered if required. Tea was replaced/topped up as required. Could not find any fault.

    I love the savoy but am trying to be honest as it’s a new restaurant. The staff are amazing here, can not fault! Very attentive and helpful. The one thing that let it down was the fact that the menu is not explained well and is not self explanatory, some items are enough for one. Others are meant to share but you arnt to know this looking at the menu. The tikka pie tastes amazing but only comes along as a single giant pie enough for 3 people with some peeled raw carrot and cucumber, whilst the burger on same ‘big plate’ section was just a regular sized burger with chips for one. The Mac and cheese was very nice, but again enough to share between 2 or 3 despite being on the peckish/grazing menu which we took as smaller dishes and were told could act as starters.. The pizza was a normal sized pizza however was not my favorite, didn’t taste amazing considering the establishment. The Mille feuille desert finally had (serves 2) in brackets which helped, however it would have easily served 3 and I think would be better with chocolate glaze instead of a stick of hard chocolate on top as it is as it’s a lot of the same flavour else. The decor is beautifully done and it has a lovely atmosphere, it just wasn’t clear as to what you were ordering or how the menu was supposed to be similar to tapas and shared, and there was little indication as to how big or small things were, items are separated into ‘pekish’ ‘grazing’ and ‘big plates’ however after ordering items from each I have no clue what the difference was meant to be, and it isn’t clear when reading menu. Some simple explanations on menu would be very helpful !! Otherwise a lovely place.

    The food was great, especially the sandwiches. Service was a bit spotty compared to other London tearooms. But the the real turnoff was the atrocious live singing. Much better to go with just a piano.
