位於Marble Arch​的優質現代法式料理​餐廳

Orrery never fails to disappoint. Understated elegance with delicious food, and of course the wonderful sommelier, Julio - who always makes our visit special! Thank you Orrery Team!

While the food, particularly the caramelized onion tart and the crème brûlée, was outstanding, it was the service that really bumps the Palm Court up to 5+ stars. Both our waitress and the waiter who followed her, whose names we unfortunately did not get, were wonderful. We were there to celebrate my wife’s birthday and had notified the restaurant when I made the reservation. They greeted her like family, with a warm birthday wish and a surprise birthday desert (the crème brûlée) that was accompanied by a card signed by the entire staff! Little gestures like that sometimes make all the difference, and that certainly did. Even without that, the food was outstanding, but the service was spectacular.

Another excellent lunch at Cornus. I was tempted by the excellent value set lunch menu at £55 for 3 courses but succumbed to the full 7 course tasting menu at £165, which included of course the usual selection of canapés, delicious sourdough bread and focaccia, and petit fours. Top quality ingredients, highly skilled cooking and beautiful presentation. Highlights included red mullet with a salsa verde; cod with girolles, squid and crispy potatoes; roast pigeon with a chestnut purée. Service was excellent throughout from the whole team, with particular thanks to the incomparable sommelier Melania and joint owner David. The wine list is extensive and keenly priced by London standards but BYO is extremely popular and with corkage at lunch of £20 an absolute bargain. The total bill for this solo diner was £235, including a glass of champagne, corkage and service charge. I think that is tremendous value for money. Overall at least 17/20 and one of the best restaurants in London for classic cooking with lots of technique and top quality ingredients. The only problem is that now I’m torn between long-established sister restaurant Medlar and newcomer Cornus for a neighbourhood lunch. Ah well, life is tough.

We had a fantastic night at 28-50. The service was impeccable. We were booked for 7:45, and the music started promptly at 8:30 which gave us enough time to settle in and have a cocktail. We had a lovely host for the night named Raymond, who was friendly, took our coats and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great night. We had never been to 28-50, so didn’t know what to expect. Pros: great service, great music- the band played many sets with short breaks in between. I would ask to sit nearer the back of you want to chat the night away though, as it can get quite loud at the front. We managed to have group chats in the breaks, but this was part of the fun! The charcuterie and cheese starter and drinks (we had cocktails and wine) were fab. Cons: Aside from the steaks the options for mains courses were pretty limited, with not many to choose from. The amount of mains on the menu could be improved. Whilst I enjoyed my (cheeseburger) it was a safer option- please add more food on the menu! :)

Amazing restaurant. Excellent food and service Good music
