We stayed at this hotel for a few days and on the last day tried this restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. First, the staff are top notch! Exceptional customer service at both meals. Shout out to Genevieve in the morning! We ordered off the menu for breakfast and our meals came out quickly. The staff work as a team and we interacted with many throughout the meal. Coffee and tea refills were readily available in individual pots on our table. Hubby's eggs were not over easy as requested but still good. My porridge/oatmeal was hot and I enjoyed the bananas with it. Dinner was quite delicious. We both had the Australian 10oz ribeye and shared a Caesar salad. Steaks were cooked perfectly and I loved the horseradish cream sauce. We did not order a starter so that we would have room for dessert. Although the cheesecake was highly recommended we opted for the bread pudding and the apple pie. All desserts are made in house. We enjoyed our desserts but I was not fond of raisins in my apple pie. There were also raisins in the bread pudding but hubby likes them so no problem. We would definitely eat here again. read more

Wonderful steak, cooked and seasoned to perfection. The service was impeccable, Daniel our server made sure everything was exceptional. We're from California and were pleasantly surprised they the wine list was mostly from California. We couldn't have a nicer meal and were happy to simply walk to our beautiful room at Grosvenor House. Lovely experience! read more

Food & Service were excellent! Location right across from Hyde Park. Hello hooray what s nice day for the Eton Rifles.

I booked (and gave credit card details for) the private room 5 months' in advance only for the GM, months later, to tell me there had been a 'glitch in the system' (yeah right) and the room had been double-booked and 'rest assured' I would be fine to take a table in the main room that had a curtain around it... In what 2025 world, does his computer glitch happen? My money is on them lying and a bigger party wanted the room and they foolishly assumed they could make more money from the other booking. Am I awaiting a response from the GM. read more

The manager said this is normal as they come in via the patio doors. Just glad we finished eating before we saw him. Is this standard across London to see mice in a restaurant? read more

I was very impressed with a hotel restaurant. JW had nice atmosphere, good service and most importantly great food. Being from the states, I happy to know you can find a good steak in the UK. We started with the crab soup and the mushroom soup, both excellent, for entrees my wife ordered the lobster cobb salad. Very good and nice portion of lobster. I ordered the NY strip steak ...It was a nice cut of meat, tender and tasty. We also ordered sides, baked potato and cream spinach. JW was well worth it read more

Just an okay meal for 1/2 our party. The lobster ravioli portion was meager at best. The American filet lacked any flavor. I could buy a better tasting piece of meat at the supermarket at home. The men in the group really enjoyed their Australian ribeyes. The sides were lack luster devoid of seasoning. The wedge salad lettuce had a peculiar aftertaste. A whole bevy of servers waited on us. All servers were friendly. However, when my husband said he'd been given the wrong single malt scotch, the server asked the bartender who insisted he poured the right one. A quality place would have replaced the questionable drink. My husband's second scotch the waiter asked if he wanted a brand X, my husband said no brand Y. ( my husband was sure the first incorrect drink was brand X). When it was brought, my husband tasted it and it was correct. Just looking at the color you could tell it was different than the first one he was served. I don't think our experience was worth the cost - very lack luster food read more

After months of hearing about "just how amazing the cheesecake" is, I finally got to the JW Steakhouse to try it for myself our first night in London. Dinner started with the bread and let's keep it 100, you cannot go wrong with some bread and butter. The butter had a sprinkling of salt which is always a plus in my book. Unfortunately, we didn't partake in an appetizer because I'm on a dreaded meal plan. Why I do this to myself? Probably because I'm a glutton for punishment. I digress. For dinner, I ordered the 10oz NY Strip and after confirming and re-confirming that I wanted it medium rare, it came out medium rare. Be warned, they will ask you to check the temperature once the steak makes it to your table. Regardless, it was cooked perfectly. Honestly, I couldn't tell you what he had as I was more so focused on my plate. To share though, we did order the hand cut chips and they were good. Not the best but far from the worst. However, let's chat about the main reason we were there: the cheesecake. When I tell you I heard about this cheesecake for months, I literally heard about it for months. Even when boarding the plane in Boston, my travel companion could not stop gushing about this cheesecake. We ordered the mini cheesecake as we were both quite full. To be fair, I was hesitant to eat it as it was just so cute but after some tempting I finally dove in. At first, it was not all it was cracked up to be. There was something about the sour cream filling on the top that was just not it. But then... right when I least expected it, the texture changed and instead of sour cream, it was actual cheesecake. And that's when I knew... it was legitimately the best cheesecake I've had (once you take that filling off the top). And my god... the crust. The crust was muy bien. We loved it so much that we went back later in the week for just cheesecake and wine! Service: The wait staff was rather attentive and didn't rush us at all. Attire: Our attire was dressy casual as we were in London for vacation. He was in jeans, button down, and a jacket while I wore tights, a plaid mini skirt, and a black bodysuit with heels. The crowd was mixed between those there for the (American) football game and people on business so if there was a dress code, it went out the window. Anywho, this is just one woman's opinion... go try it out for yourself and tell me what you think! n.b. we were there in October 2022 not December 2022. read more

Stayed here a few nights at this hotel and this restaurant is one of the best hotel restaurants I have been to. We ate here two nights. The first night we ordered the seafood platter. Most amazing oysters! Never seen them so huge. The lobster is to die's for. If you're not wanting something so big ( it is for 2) the lobster Cobb is definitely a must! Our table ordered one of those as well and it was spot on. The Parker house rolls they give you after ordering are so warm and pillowy soft. It's hard to only have the one. The salty crust is perfect. The second night I ordered the salmon which was perfectly cooked and had an amazing sauce. It was accompanied with sautéed spinach which I didn't see noted on the menu so a side isn't necessary. For the table we also ordered a filet, which the server insisted he cut into it then before she left the table to be sure it was cooked the his liking. Also ordered was the chicken and a tuna tar tar. The chicken was fantastic as well as the tuna tar tar. Sides we tried were the mashed potatoes, potatoes au gratin, onion rings all which were good. Dessert, the cheesecake was fabulous and the other evening we tried the special strawberry pavlova. Both were fantastic. Cheesecake is a heavier option so I would say they were equally as good. I always love the different textures in a pavlova. The crunchy meringue and creamy vanilla whipped cream hiding a scoop of lovely strawberry ice cream and topped with fresh sweet strawberries and little bit of a strawberry syrup. A nice lighter option definitely to share especially if you opt for the cheesecake. Fantastic! Highly recommend. read more

Disappointing salads. A steak house should always have an amazing chopped salad. This was definitely a weakness of the menu. Rolls were great! read more

Located in the Grosvenor House Hotel London England. We had the breakfast buffet which was out of this world. It would take hours to list all the options. They have a pressed juice bar that is so fantastic it was unbelievable . You can have eggs or omlets to order and all sorts of wonderful options. The fresh rolls and pastry was like being in a bakery. We also went for diner one night and the menu was also fabulous. Of course we tried the fish and chips which were excellent. Can't rave enough about this restaurant and staff. Mr Dominik Feller is to be commended for his hard work and dedication. We will definitely return next time we are in London. read more

Alright, if you are stumbling across this review and wondering if JW Steakhouse is worthy of your hard earned money and time, YES is the answer. Throw your phone down and make your way to what is one of the best dining experiences I have had in a very long time. If you are still near your phone and reading this feel free to continue reading ;) Let's start at the beginning, I am staying at the JW Marriott Grosvenor Hotel during my visit to London. After a long day having tea with the Queen and sailing down the Thames on my Yacht, okay... those last things are not true but I did make my way back to the hotel exactly 4 minutes before the JW Steakhouse closed. Thinking that We would not have a single chance of getting in, especially so close to closing, I was pleasantly surprised when we were met with open arms and escorted to a table right away. You would expect excellent service from an establishment of this caliber, and it's exactly what you get from start to finish. So, before I continue to the food, let me thank the staff for treating us so great. Okay, if you are still with me, I will get to the food. I do have to start off with this, I offered to split the 32oz Ribeye Tomahawk Steak just to experience it, but was met with a bit of resistance. Maybe due to the fact that we both would have been put in a coma about 20oz in! LOL. We did settle on the following; Burrata Salad, Crab Wedge Salad, and Fish and Chips. To start the Burrata salad is absolutely perfect. The Burrata is, hands down, the best I have ever had. The pairing of heirloom tomatoes, olives, and oranges is just the right amount of salt, acid, and sweet. God Bless the Queen, it is incredible. Once we tore bread apart and literally cleaned the plate to a shiny finish, we moved on to the Lump Crab Iceberg Wedge Salad. Yes, real crab, egg, and Louis dressing atop of incredibly fresh and crisp iceberg lettuce is something to write your Momma about. Wow. It is a very generous offering of food as well, easily split between two but I guess that depends on who fights harder for it! Hahaha. Alright, I have left the literal best for last... I am a bit of a fish and chips snob and until last night I had not had anything close to the "Frying Scotsman" in Portland Oregon (Cart Days). I mean this people, the Frying Scotsman ruined it for many restaurants because I simply couldn't find anything comparable. Well, the JW Steakhouse has not only met the challenge it has taken the #1 spot. If you know me, and had to listen to me rant and rave about Fish and Chips, you know how big of a deal this is. The fish, line caught cod, is light and meaty at the same time. The deep fried batter is incredible and literally dissolved in your mouth. It comes with house-made tartar sauce and I highly recommend you ask for malt vinegar. The combination is what I look for, completes the balance and we'll just the entire experience. As always I hope my review has helped you decide on where and what to eat... Enjoy! read more

4.5 stars. Delicious as always!! The tomahawk Ribeye is filling and well worth it. I had it blue cheese crusted and medium rare. They ask you to check the temp as soon as it arrives. The asparagus was fresh and so was the mixed greens. The most important part was the bourbon bar. They have bourbon that cannot be found anywhere else. The bartender is SUPER knowledgeable and will point you in the right direction. read more

Arrived for dinner for a late night reservation. The restaurant was a short walk from where I was staying - Park Lane Marriott and I informed this place served the best cheesecake in London. We were seated right away and the dinning room reminded me as if I was back in the U.S. I went with the rib eye and added prawns, side of au gratin potatoes and mushrooms. When my steak arrived It was on the rare side instead of medium rare so I had to send it back which really was disappointing. Both sides were yummy but the boneless rib eye was from Scotland - Aberdeen Angus which is leaner and isn't as marbleized as the USDA steaks which I prefer. If you're like myself I would highly suggest the bone in which is USDA here instead and a totally different beef from the no bone rib eye here. The peppercorn sauce was weak and lacked flavor but the standout of the meal was definitely the cheesecake. It was lighter in texture to what I'm use to and had a killer graham cracker crust. At 14 pounds or just under $22.00 U.S. dollars it was pricy but can feed four easily. If your visiting London and are in need of a decent meal I would recommend visiting the JW Steakhouse and definitely order the cheesecake! BTW review your bill carefully they tried to overcharge me over 30 Euros for 2 pieces of prawns which they removed totally due to the error. read more

We ate here three times (!) during our stay at the JW Marriott. So glad this was here. Each meal was terrific, and if you want "more for your money" then do not get a steak. The steaks were fantastic, but did not come with any sides. Average $50 for a piece of meat on a plate. Tuna steak, Burgers, Fish n Chips all were solid and came with a side. Less money. Salads were HUGE and delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. MUST finish with the cheesecake! Creamy and perfect. Enjoy! read more

My friend and I were staying at Grosvenor House and heard others rave about "the cheesecake" at the steakhouse. On our last night in London, we went in to treat ourselves to some cheesecake and wine for my friend's early birthday. It. was. worth. every. calorie. I'm unashamed to say I was scraping the plate. I loved how it wasn't overly sweet. Sometimes all of the additives in desserts take away from the main ingredients, and this was not the case here at all. It had the traditional sour cream topping and the perfect crust. Also, the service was great and I appreciated the hostess and waitress in helping me with the surprise! read more

JW Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - London, XGL

Went here for a late dinner with friends last night. We are in London for the New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers football game at 'Spurs' stadium - lots of out-of-towners in the restaurant. Not sure if the restuarant's electric environment was due to the sports fan, or whether this was the usual vibe. This is Mayfair so it's hard to tell the origin of the energetic feel. Drinks: I had a "Perfect Rob Roy' In the Park Room of the hotel before heading over to the Steakhouse. The Rob Roy was indeed perfect. It was made exceptionally well by the bartender. In fact it was so good I had a second drink. I recommend having this drink in the Park Room. However, I can't guarantee that you'll be served by the Bartender who made my drink, but it's worth a try. Dinner: Dinner in the steakhouse was very good. I had a 6 oz filet prepared medium, and it was delivered as asked - medium. I had fries and asparagus with my steak. Although unremarkable, the fries and asparagus were prepared well. I decided to order a Rob Roy cocktail in the Steakhouse. Unfortunately this was not as good a cocktail as I had earlier in the Park Room. Specifically, what they brought me was not a perfect Rob Roy. It was in fact a Manhattan (American Bourbon) with too much sweet Vermouth instead of a combination of sweet and dry Vermouth - which is what perfect would be. It was also brought in a rocks glass instead of 'up' in a martini glass. One of the specialty drinks on the menu was a Manhattan so I suspect that a Rob Roy was outside of the skillset of my Steakhouse bartender. The slow service was forgivable given that it was 9 PM on a Friday night, and the restaurant filled with tourists - no doubt in town for the game. Overall, a good experience and meal. I'd recommend starting in the Park Room for cocktails then moving over to the Steakhouse for dinner accompanied by an 'uncomplicated' cocktail - choosing from one listed on the drinks menu. read more

JW Steakhouse - The Park Room bar/lounge area - Steakhouses Near Me - London, XGL

Our last night in London and this restaurant knocked it out of the park! The interior reminded me of an oldskool classy Chicago or New York restaurant with some modern touches. The lighting was set just a tad past romantically dim, making the room just a bit too light-deprived in my opinion. You do get a little candle on the table, I assume to assist with reading the menu.. The staff as well as the food were exceptional. We came across some new and interesting tastes, such as sweet potato mash with bourbon and marshmallows roasted on top. I had the Angus ribs and my husband had the lamb with mint sauce. Both were exquisite. For dessert we shared the cheesecake, which honestly can feed 6 people. This dish is cheesecake reinvented; with the outside made out of cookie and the inside filled with different inconsistencies of cheesecake. Would definitely recommend this place for any hearty meatlover that also enjoys above-and-beyond service. read more

Yep, this is one of those £200 for bad service and terrible food. Their fries are like what you would find in the frozen section of a cheap grocery store. My wife had to send her steak back and only about half of my steak was edible. I don't suppose they care though. Their main customers come from out of town and as long as it looks fancy and is expensive, they get away with it. We went to another restaurant this evening that was the complete opposite. Half the cost, twice the food and 10 times the value. Those places ARE out there but JW Steakhouse is not one of them. read more

The food here is outstanding as is the service. Mateo was our wonderful server at dinner and Claudia was our wonderful server at breakfast. Every detail was perfect. And even the side items - mashed potatoes, french fries, rolls - were outstanding as well! Highly recommend it. read more

Fantastic food and great service! We had the tomahawk steak split for two people around 500g each plus the creamed spinach and fried calamari for a starter. The steak was cooked to our perfection they insisted to let us cut it to make sure it was to our liking. At the end we had the cheesecake which is famous here. I don't like cheesecake but after having this one I love it now and will try more cheesecakes, cause this one was that good. read more

Wonderful experience. My wife and I were able to get a table last Saturday, simply walking in. We were kindly greeted, promptly seated and drinks ordered. Great bar selection of bourbons. The apps were generous- the crab cake was perfectly prepared- moist and flavorful; the wedge was large enough for two, and the dressing not overpowering. My wife and I split the Scottish Tomahawk steak-- FABULOUS flavor and texture, perfectly prepared. The sides of creamed spinach and roasted mushrooms were wonderful- creamy and woody flavors. Too full for dessert. My wife and daughter went the next day for lunch- the short ribs were served with red wine reduction, meat falling off the bone; eggs Benedict were perfectly done. Flavors of both were great. The staff and service were exceptional..... truly world class. I will be returning for more meals in the future. read more

Great service. The salad I took for first was amazing ! Nothing less. I ordered the burger for main and it was Ok (I expected more from a steakhouse) Nice warm place. read more

We dined at JW Steakhouse every morning as part of my Premier Platinum status with Marriott. This was a fantastic way to start each morning. Food was great and the entire staff was very welcoming.

So, I don't want to scare you away, but I haven't really found a great main course here. Despite that, I keep coming back to JW Steakhouse. Yeah, that means I walk from my hotel, to this other hotel, just to go to their hotel restaurant. Means SOMETHING must be good here. So lets get to those somethings: Beer - They have three beers on draught (bottles are for people who don't know any better). Two from meantime brewery which are plenty tasty, but skip those. I want you to get the Innis & Gunn. WAIT, don't stop reading. I'm serious. Get the Innis & Gunn. I don't care if you tried it out of the bottle in the US and thought it was garbage (what did I say about bottles, and clear bottles? Thats even worse). A pint of Innis & Gunn at JW Steakhouse is the best decision you will make in London. The steakburger is a little taste of America. It comes with crazy good french fries (these are too thin for me to think of them as chips, these are french fries fo sho) and does the trick. I would recommend it if you haven't had a good burger lately. The bar is a great place to eat if you are eating alone. Bar tenders are friendly, food comes fast, and its just generally a comfortable environment if you have to eat by yourself. The only problem here is the cheesecake. Its a reaaaaaally good cheesecake. But the portion is sized for 2-3 people (maybe even 4 people). Yes, that means that I did in fact eat that massive calorie bomb by myself, I didn't come close to finishing it so they wrapped it up to go. They included a plastic knife and fork so I could eat it in my room, a nice touch. read more

To sum it up: Excellent wine, great steak, good fries, ok peppercorn sauce, huge dessert. Friendly and professional staff. JW Steakhouse is a steak restaurant located inside the Grosvenor House hotel, right on Park Lane. I entered through the main hotel entrance and then walked straight into the restaurant on the left. JW Steakhouse is a big dining hall dominated by dark and warm colours. I really liked the atmosphere, it was not too loud and even the muted pop music in the background was not too annoying - who doesn't like a bit of Bryan Adams classics every now and then? The place has a nice atmosphere and staff were pretty friendly. The only apparent interior design flaw I noticed, without being too picky, was a staff corridor that opened opposite my table - that would have been fine with me, but I found it surprising that whenever the door opened, I was distracted by this bringt neon light in this white corridor, that simply did not match the dimmed lighting, warm colours and nice atmosphere in the dining hall. While this corridor might be a good example of minimal and functional design, it also seems a bit odd for such a place. The well-trained waiter kicked off with asking me for drinks. That's always a good start. I found a Salmon Run, Riesling/Chardonnay, Finger Lakes, USA 2011 by the glass, which sounded like an interesting combination to me, so I went for that. And indeed, it was a very decent wine, I would definitely order it again. It had this typical, lovely and distinct minerally Riesling character, was easy to drink and even a bit fruity. A good choice. I was there for an early dinner and went directly to the main courses. They have a number of different cuts and two different suppliers. As I wanted to taste their USDA meat, I ordered a small fillet steak with bourbon peppercorn sauce and salt and truffle fries. The food was almost as good as it sounds. The steak came medium rare as recommended by my waiter and tasted great. The peppercorn sauce was a bit of a let down, for me it could have had a stronger pepper kick to it. It was not bad, but a little bit bland for a peppercorn sauce. The chips were quite skinny and very salt and truffly. I must admit, they were bordering on being too salty, and the strong salt flavour had the potential to spoil the excellent taste of the steak. On the other side, I really enjoyed the fries, despite I later saw crispy fluffy chunky chips arriving at the next table and they also looked tempting. For dessert I got an enormous apple pie with delicious cinnamon ice cream. The dessert was almost too big, but it tasted really good, so I could not just leave half of it uneaten... At some point during my dinner, I noticed that I did not get any bread after I arrived. I expected a place like JW Steakhouse to server bread, but you never know - so I looked again at the menu, and also did not find the bread there. Around the same time, I saw other tables getting fresh bread rolls with butter. As you can always impress me with good bread, you can always disappoint me with no or even bad bread. When the lovely smell of fresh rolls made its way up my nose from the next table, I became a bit sad. I asked my waiter for the bill, and not too long after, a nice girl came over and handled the payment procedure. I spotted the bread rolls on my bill and could not stop myself from mentioning that I did not get them. They are complimentary, but still. She apologised and explained, that they usually get a new batch ready just after I ordered, so they probably overlooked my order because they did not have any fresh buns at the moment. Overall, I liked the food, my wine was excellent and I was very pleased with my waiter, the service and I think the bun mishap was managed well enough. In my opinion, JW Steakhouse is a reasonably good place to enjoy a steak. read more

Recently went to the JW Steakhouse (9 of us) where we all proceeded to order the burger (our thinking is that the only way to get a good burger in london is to order from steakhouses). The burger is priced at £17 which is expensive but considering it should use some of the finest ground steak and potatoes for frites i figured it was justified. I ASSURE YOU IT WAS NOT The burgers had zero taste. none. almost like they were added to the menu as an after thought or for a quick option for kids or fussy eaters. and i know what you're going to say, it's a steakhouse so order a steak. well... goodmans and hawksmoor are steakhouses and they make delicious, succulent, moist burgers... ugh don't even get me started on the buns or fries. or how dry it was. you needed a full glass of water just to eat it. on the positive the bread that came before the meal was really good, so were the onion rings. and the serving staff was nice enough. i cannot speak about the quality/taste of the steak and will not go back to do so. my opinion, go to a real steakhouse and not a fancy hotel restaurant dressed up to be one on park lane. and to the patrons of the hotel, i'd recommend you take a short walk or cab somewhere else and enjoy the many gastro-splendours that London has to offer. read more

I had an amazing food experience at the JW Steakhouse. The quality of food, preparation and interest in the cocktails and expansive bourbon menu is phenomenal. They have done their homework on this type of dining experience and it really shows. I visited the bar to ask about their different bottles and their bar tender was able to pull a few off the shelf and tell a little background especially their prohibition era bottle of bourbon! I ordered a UK exclusive Blanton's gold and they had the wherewithal to offer ice on the side, awesome touch. They offered steak from both the US and UK, I ordered the filet from Creekstone Farms which is one of my favourites! Not sure where the negative reviews are coming from, it sounds like they miss their local Ponderosa. read more

First let me clarify--if Yelp allowed for half stars, JW Steakhouse would get 3.5 stars from me. This place is a solid American-style steakhouse; portions are large, flavours are bold and service is served with a smile. Here is the good, the bad and the ugly about JW: THE GOOD: It's all about the meat here, and the steak is good. They cook it just right (even ask you to check it before they walk away) and the seasoning is spot on. If you have room after your meal, try their desserts--the cheesecake is the best, but be prepared to share because it is massive and probably has 5,000 calories. THE BAD: The side dishes were mediocre at best, and worth sending back at worst. The creamed spinach tasted like baby food, the mushrooms were chewy, and the jacket potato was accompanied by skimpy toppings. THE UGLY: The parking situation is ugly; JW is located inside Grosvenor House, so unless you get lucky and find parking on the street, be prepared to pay a pretty penny to park (or you can just cab it!) The final verdict is that JW Steakhouse is a solid go-to when the mood strikes for a juicy steak--just pair it with a good glass of wine rather than their sorry sides. read more

Perfection. The Sunday lunch was absolutely one of the best I've had in London. The portion sizes are extremely generous; my family of four didn't even touch half of the bowls of perfectly roasted veg, potatoes, or minted new potatoes. Our server, Chiara, was the best server I have ever had in any restaurant in London. Personable, but professional. A total gem. The perfect Mothers Day meal, and we plan to come back, no question! read more

Being a Texan, we know good steak. Kind of unfair to anyone else. So my standards are high. Choose JW Steakhouse because we are loyal Marriott customers, it was close by, and they were serving their regular menu on Easter Sunday. My wife had the Kansas City Angus Filet. I wanted to try the Scottish grass fed beef, and got the boneless ribeye. Both were good, but not at the same level as Pappas Brothers Steakhouse in Houston or some of the other top tier TX steakhouses. But both were cooked precisely to order, and the service and sides were excellent. Splurged and was talked into the cheesecake for dessert. That was a tweak and was worthy of its recommendation. Thought our wine choice was ironic- a California Zin called The Federalist.....in England no less. read more

I was given a three course meal here as a free gift from a raffle. The prize was incredibly generous and when we arrive the staff informed us there was no limitations on what we could order which we thought was pretty amazing! I had tuna Tatar which was delicious and my other half had the calamari. The portion sizes are so generous that you can barely finish them! The calamari could have happily fed two people very easily. We both had filet steak, mine came with crab, asparagus and bearnaise and sides of potato au gratin and the fellas choice, sweet potato mash with a marshmallow crust!?!? My steak tasted nice and was OK inside but I think i t got a little burnt on the outside which was carefully covered with the sauce. The bearnaise was very rich and lacked the tarragon tang that I absolutely love so after a few mouthfuls I was desperate for some of the grilled tomato to cut through the richness. My au gratin was gorgeous but probably a bad choice on my part because its also very rich and a salad would have been more than enough as a side. He absolutely enjoyed his steak and although in my opinion, marshmallows are strictly for desert and campfires, he liked the sweet potato mash. By this point we were so full we couldn't manage the desert and had a coffee instead. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed and our waiter was an absolute star as were the other staff. I'd love to give them the full 5 stars but we couldn't help feeling that we would have been slightly disappointed had we paid for the meal at the price it would have been. A bit of fine tuning and its 5 stars all the way!! read more

JW Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - London, XGL

This is a great steakhouse! I know it's in a hotel, which can sometimes be -iffy, but it's worth it. It has a classy decor--with dark woods, leather seats, old photographs and an outdoor area. The bar is comfortable and there is plenty of room if you choose to eat dinner there as well. Most of the entree items are steak (surprise!), but there are a few others, including chicken, salads and a nice tuna steak. My personal favorite is the filet mignon. The calamari and tuna tartare were two of the better appetizers I had. In terms of drinks, they have a full wine, beer and cocktail menu. If you like old fashion cocktails you have to try their smokey old fashioned--it is literally served from a glass bottle to which smoke is added (I watched them do this at the bar). Good proportions and nice presentation. Usually the service here is great, although sometimes it can be a bit slow. I've had good luck with the bartenders when I sit up there. Those guys know their stuff and will even work with you to tweak certain drinks to your liking. read more

Not sure what all the hype is about this restaurant but the reviews and my hotel concierge lead me here. The ribeye steak we had lacked flavor and seasoning. The mac and cheese was average at best. The crab cakes are amazing and full of lump meat! The service is top notch. Just don't have your mouth set up for a flavorful seasoned steak. read more

This review is specifically for the awesome bar staff! First off this Bourbon Bar offers an amazing selection. But more importantly the staff treat you as friends and enjoy their craft of making delicious drinks. Bartenders Ubay and Robert give each customer's drink the time and attention it deserves and ensures you are completely satisfied. They are proud of their work and it shows in every sip. I cannot say enough about this place- one night here and we were hooked and had to come back. Probably the best Old Fashioned and Smoked Old Fashioned I have ever had. If you are a bourbon lover, this place is a necessary stop in London. read more

I love this traditional steakhouse. The meat is always so delicious and I just love the whole style of the place. Now I'm going to tell you about the nice dinner I had there a couple of nights ago. I was with my wife and we got a nice little table by the table for just the two of us. I really like the menu - it's big, well structured and nicely separated by categories. We had a lovely dinner and the two dishes that made us the biggest impression were the crab cake and the sweet potato mash. The crab cake was just perfect - big chunks of crab meat inside plus a thin, crispy crust on top. The staff were all in matching clothes which spoke of the high class of the restaurant, despite that it's a steakhouse. read more

Wow. Don't waste your time. Typical hotel restaurant quality. Tolerable but nothing memorable. Rises to the level of a mid-tier chain restaurant - perhaps an Applebee's? Very disappointing. read more
