The menu is a veritable catalogue of classic English dishes, including the homage to the Full English, cheekily named "10 Deadly Sins", for the 10 items served on the plate I chose the Smoked Haddock Kedgeree - dish which originated in India during the English Raj, not seen that frequently these days (the English ex-pats liked their smoked fish from home in curried rice = English colonial risotto) Topped with the absolutely perfect poached egg and that's a meal I will gladly travel 4,000 miles for Impeccable service - attentive but not intrusive The Grand Divan (main ground floor dining room) has been lovingly restored to its late 1800s splendor True English white linen service - not just the table cloths, but incredible detail down to the buttonhole napkins Not cheap, but incredible value for what is perhaps one of the best formal meals I have ever had As ever, you do get what you pay for and this is a very special unique establishment which is now in the care of restaurateur Jeremy King and executive chef David Stevens I was delighted - you will be also

My fiancé and I went here for dinner on our last night in London and I'm so pleased that we did!…read more He wanted a traditional welsh dinner which is typically served on Sunday, but we weren't in London on Sunday and Simpson's was one of only a few who have a traditional roast beef meal during the week. They have a carving station that is cut table side. I ordered the welsh lamb and he ordered the roast beef. The portions are perfect, they cover the plate entirely with meat, for me lamb with mint sauce and gravy. For my fiancé roast beef and gravy. The sides are then served, which were wonderful. With my lamb I had potatoes o gratin and green beans. For the roast beef, he had carrots and the biggest piece of Yorkshire pudding we've ever seen. We were too full for dessert but they brought out a small dessert for us anyway. Apricot jelly cubes, after 8 mints and fudge. The atmosphere was wonderful and so was the service and food! When I return to London, I'll be sure to go back! Make sure to make a reservation as they are quite busy!

We stumbled on Bill's on our journey wandering through Soho and Mayfair. It was the first true…read moreBritish breakfast we discovered. Okay, it was only day one or two ... Inside it's a hodge podge decor that goes together in ways that you wouldn't think because so much of it doesn't quite go together. The service was lovely, though a tad testy at first because we wanted a four top, even though we were only two primarily due to our tendency to order a lot so we can try anything. They didn't want to initially even though they were a bit empty at the time. But a quick explanation and a gander at what we began to spout to our waitress easily changed their minds. Everything was absolutely delicious, even the pudding, which we probably didn't need a detailed explanation of, but we dared to ask anyway. If authenticity and deliciousness is what you want, this is the place to go. In fact we are heading back in a few weeks and this is on our list of places to revisit.

Here, the service was scattered and confused. We ordered our starters and mains together, but didn't receive our main course until after requesting it...nearly 15 minutes after finishing our food and drinks. The food was good, but the expediency of our service was less than impressive. Between the time it took for us to receive our mains and the time to finally get our checks, we were hungry again. From Monday - Saturday, I'm sure this hippy, free-spirited adventure of a location is perfect for youngsters; however, if you're hungry for a Sunday Roast, I suggest you head to Blacklock instead.

The service was good as well. The servers were friendly and attentive. So why was I disappointed with Mac and Wild? The Venimoo burger! I'm unsure who voted the Venimoo as London's Best Burger 2016 because it's not even close to being in the top 10 burgers I've had in London. My burger was literally cold, not just room temperature, but actually cold. It might just be me, but something about a cold venison patty is unpalatable. The burger itself is served on a tray (why?) and when it comes out, the sight of the squished bun on a large metal tray is just sad. To top it off, it's just bland. On the up side, we did enjoy two things: the haggis mac and cheese and cheesy chips. If you do come here, I would highly recommend the haggis mac and cheese! (It's probably the only reason I would consider coming back.) It's incredibly rich and hearty; perfect for a winter's night. To summarize, maybe I visited Mac and Wild on an off day, but I really wasn't impressed with their burger. If you do pay them a visit, definitely order the haggis mac and cheese!

Two story space - the ground floor feature the bar and handles walk in lunch; the upstairs is a dining room for those with reservations. Fun fact, as part of the history, the pub used to be the host of bare knuckle fights and had regulars like Charles Dickens. Wildfarmed sourdough - served with whipped salted butter and Guinness butter. Well toasted bread and the butters with salt were well made. Fuller's London Pride marinated steak and ale pie - served with seasonal veggies and red wine gravy, as well as either mash potatoes or triple cooked chips. If there is one dish London does really well, it's their pies. It was beautifully made and loaded with steak. The red wine gravy was decadent and added a perfect amount of moisture to the pie. Triple cooked chips were perfectly crispy but fluffy on the inside. Corn fed chicken breast - served with garlic and sage butter, mash potato, cavolo nero, and crispy onions. Only took a bite of this as it was my partner's dish but the bite of chicken I had was very juicy and well seasoned.

Come for the ambiance, stay for the food. I came here with a large group of people for a corporate…read moreevent, and everyone had great things to say about the experience. First, the space is very ornate and classy, with thoughtful decor that captures your attention as soon as you enter. The service was generally good, though certain drink orders took a very long time, and it also took a while for us to get more water. Whenever napkins were left on the table, even if we were sitting there, someone would grab them and fold them neatly, which I thought was a nice touch. Now, the food and drinks. We had a prix fixe menu. I really enjoyed the shrimp salad as a starter and the bread was fine. Of the main dishes, I liked the beef pasta and the cauliflower the best. The steak was okay, the potatos were nice too. The fish didn't have as much flavor/seasoning as I had hoped. The ice cream was okay, but I didn't love it. I did enjoy my espresso martini to cap it off! Overall, if you're looking for upscale dining, with an upscale vibe and upscale price, this is a good spot for you.
