Everything perfect.
Service, food and ambient. Went for the Beef Wellington and it was great. Definitely a must comeback.

I'm not sure what to say about The Dining Room at The Goring, but I'll give it a try since I'm writing this review.Incredible service. They had people for everything. They were on top of everything. There wasn't a moment when I was wanting for anything. Probably the best service I've ever had at any restaurant, with a caveat... The sommelier was shockingly unprepared. My girlfriend asked the somm what he would suggest for her main. He picked up the wine book, made a "hmm" noise like he was thinking, and then would make half-hearted suggestions. "Sauvignon Blanc usually goes well with seafood so maybe one of those?" And then would point at a list of Sauv Blancs. I was just surprised that a somm at a restaurant such as this wouldn't have been more prepared with a solid answer. Anyhow.The food was very good. Not great... But very good. My bisque was amazing. But nothing else was overly rememberable? I'm struggling to recall what I even had. Again - this is my complaint with restaurants of this caliber. So much attention is focused on the presentation and service and not a lot of energy goes into creating food that blows your hair back. But with that - one thing that impressed me was the temperature of the food we received. Everything was just hot enough without being too warm. Love that.Fanciest restaurant I've ever been to, and probably the most expensive. Not sure it was worth the money, but I enjoyed the experience and have no real regrets.
Be the first to ReplyHad afternoon tea here and it was amazing! The dining room
Had afternoon tea here and it was amazing! The dining room is decorated and traditional British style, with lovely large windows to let in the light. The afternoon tea comes with many selections of tea to choose from, pastries, the most delicious scones and clotted cream I've ever had, and delectable finger sandwiches. The staff is attentive and hospitable. I was researching which afternoon tea to choose I'm so glad I chose this one!
Be the first to ReplyThe server was a total snob.
I was disappointed. I've been to better hotels and this guy thought he was too cool for school. I give it a 3/12/ stars. I would not go back.

Afternoon tea here was lovely! A lot more reserved than Claridge's. I did the gluten-free option and they had the best tea sandwiches that I've had thus far. Service was less attentive, but that also gives you more time to socialise without being interrupted. Great experience overall.
Be the first to ReplyOn our first trip to London, I asked my husband if we could
On our first trip to London, I asked my husband if we could do afternoon tea 2x in the short 4 days that we had and he agreed! I couldn't decide between The Goring (his find) and Claridge's (my find) so I was lucky that he was open to visiting both.We came to The Goring first on our first day for their earliest seating at 4PM. We were seated in the middle of the room. Giuseppe was our server and he was amazing! He was sweet and attentive, as were the other staff members, and he made our experience wonderful! There was only one guy who made me feel uncomfortable and he seemed to be a "higher" up guy - when he came to ask about the food, I didn't realize my reservation wasn't prepaid and he told me to show it to him and while I was looking for it, he was hovering over me, appearing impatient and annoyed and then when I showed him, I felt embarrassed by the way he spoke to me.Other than him in that beginning part, Giuseppe was fantastic! We noticed that he disappeared for awhile after showing me where the ladies room was so we were a bit bummed and felt unsure about asking any other servers for additional tea. We were pleasantly surprised when they brought out an extra cake with Happy Anniversary written on the plate - that was a nice touch and when Giuseppe came back, he said that he wanted to be the one to bring it to us, but was told to go on break. The dining room was very elegant and regal and made you feel very fancy. We just got the regular afternoon tea as we are not champagne drinkers. The sandwiches, scones, and desserts were all "unlimited" so you could order as much as you needed.I believe it is expected that afternoon tea last for 2 hours - we found out after Giuseppe got back and we asked so as not to hold anyone up. Around 6/630pm, they begin to prepare the room for dinner.We did have items we took to go and Giuseppe was so great! There is a 12.5% discretionary charge that is automatically added (though you can have them remove it or change it) and it acts as the gratuity. After we paid with someone, we asked to make sure that it is split between the staff and they said yes, so that's good that the establishment doesn't just take it. We loved Giuseppe and wished we could do more, but gave him a little something extra for making our experience so wonderful - just by being him.The afternoon tea itself was fine, not amazing, but not bad by any means. Claridge's was better and fancier, but also more expensive. The experience here was nice for us so if we know that Giuseppe is still there, we would come back just for him!
Be the first to ReplyWe made reservations for afternoon tea on the Goring
We made reservations for afternoon tea on the Goring website and it was very simple. We came after a long day of sightseeing so we felt a bit underdressed with our tennis shoes on. However, 90% of the patrons that walked in were more underdressed than my party was. We still felt a bit uneasy at first. So if you have the chance to dress up in at least business casual, I would recommend it. They also charged 6 pounds for still water without me knowing. So that wasn't very cool! They did, however, let us have Diet Coke in place of tea (at no extra charge) since we don't drink tea....it's all about the food :)We did not enjoy the pea mousse; it was really gross, actually. They may change this up seasonally, but they struck out with this one. Not good. The sandwiches were pretty good. But the clear winner were the scones and desserts. The scones, oh the scones! So incredibly amazing. The clotted cream and jams (strawberry and raspberry) were also to die for!!!! I could eat these every day. And I can't even talk about the desserts! Ok, yes I can. They were out of this world amazing. Every single one of them. I wish they were full sized so I could devour each one even more!! The lemon dessert and coconut macaron were my favorite. Oh, and the chocolate domed one. I can't decide; they were all so good. 50 pounds per person is a bit steep but it was fun to try once. When in London....ya gotta have Afternoon Tea.
Be the first to ReplyNot a Michelin Star restaurant experience at all as far as
Not a Michelin Star restaurant experience at all as far as the food is concerned. Otherwise, the atmosphere is a bit pretentious and we never really felt at ease throughout our lunch. 80% of the price is basically based on the fanciness of the place.
Be the first to ReplyA 5 star experience it was not.
Very much overpriced. To be 5 star requires a full experience start to finish including food and presentation AND the completion. At the end, we were ignored for over 30 minutes and needed to go to the desk to request the check, which thoroughly confused her as she searched for our waiter. We seriously could have left without notice (and paying). We left feeling like riff raff at an exclusive restaurant. Food was excellent, but did not make up for cost and poor exit.
Be the first to ReplyExcelent food an service.
Try the short ribs and monk fish; they're wonderful. Nice ambiance and great wine and drink menu.
Be the first to ReplyI was at The Goring with family for a birthday.
First off, the service was excellent. Very understated yet attentive. The dining room itself is a nice room with a lovely bank of windows over the garden. The garish blue tinted lights on the ceiling are an odd counterpoint to the other wise pleasantly traditional atmosphere.The food was good - not excellent. There was no vegetarian option for the main (at least, not that I could identify!), so I went for fish. It was good. The style is a little fussy and nouvelle cuisine. I see that they are walking a delicate line because they need to be modern without alienating their base. Sadly, my dad's steak that I polished off was not especially tender. A solid three stars on service and very pleasant environment but the food (at this cost) could be more refined.
Be the first to ReplyWe found this place based on the high reviews.
The staff here is very professional and formal. We even saw a guy ironing a table cloth. We had the 3 course meal. My husband got the risotto and I had the vegetable spring salad. We both liked our plates. Next was the beef Wellington. It was so good. Every bite was pure joy. Lastly, we got the bread pudding and chocolate dessert. Both were fabulous!This was a 2hr food experience that we thoroughly enjoyed.
Be the first to ReplyWas here for the afternoon tea.
The place is gorgeous. Love the yellow interior. We got the non-champagne option. Cant remember the exact name of the tea I got, but I believe it was a green tea. It was a bit too mild for my taste. They offer endless refills though They served us a mini appetizer bite before serving us the trays. It was a pea mousse that was actually pretty delicious, considering I'm not a big fan of peas. As for the tiers, the sandwiches were pretty good. They can accommodate the food to any preferences or allergies you may have. However, when they actually served it to us, it was a bit confusing trying to figure out which sandwiches belonged to whom as there was 2 servings together on each plate. The desserts were pretty decent as well. I was a bit disappointed by the clotted cream that came with the scones, as I was really looking forward to having some since my last visit. The service was great from the get go. They were attentive when it came to serving the tea. They clear away your plates quickly then leave you alone for quite some time, which I believe is what do they do over here. So you have to flag them down when you're ready to leave. Overall, a great fancy tea experience if you wanna live that bougie life!
Be the first to ReplyWould not recommend the afternoon tea.
Good quality food but very poor service. Made reservations for the Goring afternoon tea for August 6th. It was a special occasion as I am visiting from Switzerland and wanted to have a wonderful afternoon tea experience with my best girlfriend. We were seated on time but had to wait a very very long time for our tea. We even asked for it repeatedly. We then had to wait equally long for milk. Finally, we asked several times for scones and jam. It was a most stressful and frustrating experience. I wished we would have picked a different restaurant.
