    Cozy bar
    Gabi M.

    Gillray's is located in the Marriott hotel where we stayed for four nights while in London. While there, we enjoyed four breakfasts and one dinner at Gillray's and we were pleased with each visit. Staff is attentive and friendly and the menu has something for everyone -- including our somewhat picky eaters! From omelettes to chia pudding, fruit bowls, waffles, toast, bacon, banana pudding, fresh juice and plenty of coffee, we loved the options each morning. I took the kids for an early dinner one evening and we enjoyed that too. We love the cozy atmosphere and the views as well.

    A Street Crier cocktail featuring pea vodka, Midori, orange, lemon
    Pam M.

    I visited Gillray's for dinner on my first night in London & sat at the bar for a cocktail & a burger. The restaurant is located in The Marriott where I was staying & I was too tired to venture out for dinner. I decided to try the Street Crier cocktail after looking at the menu, talking to the bartender & meeting the Pea vodka sales rep who was sitting next to me. I was super hungry since I hadn't eaten since flying in from SFO & opted for the Wagyu steak burger with chips. The burger was huge & delicious but I usually prefer my burger medium-rare but this was cooked medium-well, probably because that would be the safe standard. The chips were perfectly crispy. I struggled to finish my burger & had a few bites left & I gave up. I'm a dessert person & wanted to try their sticky toffee pudding cake but I had no room in my belly. Service is professional, helpful & friendly.

    Spectacular and highly recommend! Get here early, no reservation needed unless you come later. The staff as usual for a Marriott was super attentive. The London Eye is just outside the windows and offers a unique experience! I can say enough about the food though. The beans and the desert were instant favs!!

    Amaretto Sour

    Yvonne is an absolute artist when it comes to cocktails. Best tasting and best looking Amaretto sour I've ever had in my life!

    Old dry fruit that they claim is fresh fruit. Nothing fresh about this jar of days old fruit.

    Awful food and the worst service. They gave us old dry fruit for breakfast, cold stiff waffles and the omelet was dry and not fresh. We also had to get up and get our own juice since our racist waiter only checked on the white guests while he ignored us the whole time. I noticed he was very unfriendly to only the BLACK guests. He was very hospitable and friendly/talkative to only the white people. We spoke to the manager who seem concerned and was kind but only made excuses for the waiters bad behavior by saying he has been fine with other people of color. Maybe he just doesn't like black women and refuses to serve them. Plus, we were speaking of his behavior on this day, not other days. We only ate here because we were staying at the hotel attached to the restaurant. Believe all the bad reviews because they are true. I wouldn't recommend this place at all.

    This is a great choice for a dinner before the play, Witness for the Prosecution. Outstanding staff, great food, and lovely views.

    £15 steak as advertised by the window
    Arlene L.

    Ambiance was fantastic. Tired of walking? This is an excellent place to chill out by the London Eye. The staff were attentive. Reason for 3 stars? The food needs to be revamped. The quality and taste do not match the ambiance. The £15 steak and chips (advertised by the window that caught our attention) was not worth it. Even if it's a cheap kind of steak, excellent chefs can be innovative. The lobster was ok but could have been better with melted butter. Overall, the food was bland and presentation was done poorly. Hope management will take this review seriously. The restaurant is in a good location. The name of the restaurant was not conspicuous enough to grab attention. The £15 steak and fries sign caught our attention but cheap food does not have to be prepared and cooked fairly.

    Looks can be deceiving.

    The food was just ok. We paid alot of money and the steak was not prepared to standard. There was no lobster and that was a downside but we still wanted to stay to try out the steak. We could have done better and so could the Chef. Funny thing is that I sliced the steak so it could be prepared well done and he still sent it back medium rare. Waitstaff still had a service charge of over 30 pounds. It's all good but at least we know for next time.

    Gillrays, located at the Marriot London County Hall Hotel. Gillrays is an upscale bar and restaurant. As you enter this establishment from inside the hotel, you first enter the bar and lounge. The lounge is posh and upscale. It has a sophisticated charm to ot with great views of the Thames River, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey. The Bartenders are as nice as they come. The wait staff were moving between tables like bees taking orders and delivering drinks and apps. Off to right as you walk into Gillrays, you will find the restaurant with the same wait and bar service as well as great views of Thames River and local sites. The food menu is pretty good. I opted for baked/broiled chicken. It need salt and wad a bit dry. The potato sides were. Any mixed drink I ordered was fantastic as well. It is worth the visit to this restaurant. You can't beat the views and the great drinks. Bon Apetit.

    Our first meal while vacationing in London was at Gillray's. Now I was extremely impressed with the set up and the way the bar area was set up. Very upscale and James bondish lol the service was great and the overall ambiance was on point. But, the meal I had, lobster and chips was not good at all. The lobster was extremely tough and they served it with a side of butter, not drawn butter but butter spread. To be fair, maybe that's how they eat lobster out there. The steak my wife had was decent. My kids had burgers. I would try it again, but I would stay away from the lobster. The bar area is sick! Lol

    Veri good view and great food. Our waitress Joanna was amazing , excellent service and so friendly very professionaland knowledgeableabout the menu Girl needs a raise!!!!

    My father in law sent me a picture and told me I need to post this on yelp, as per him: "They describe the meal so elegantly, and they were so attentive and full of smiles" He's a hard critic so I'm sure Anne and Maly were extra amazing!!!

    See all
