“ We had a wonderful evening at Ormer Mayfair. The food and service were outstanding. We’ve been to a couple of Michelin-starred restaurants before but this was definitely one of the best. The finesse that went into every single course was remarkable, service was friendly, charming and attentive, and prices were absolutely affordable for what was on offer. Very happy we chose this establishment for our anniversary. Highly recommended! Thanks to the Ormer Mayfair team for this memorable experience. ”

“ One of our best experiences in London. We would say top 5. The food was divine, we went for the pescatarian menu. They change their menu often. The ambience is really cozy, quiet and nice decor. Nice selection of paintings. It’s definitely a place if you like art. The staff were very friendly, polite, and really treated me and my guests very well. It was my birthday and they provided the best atmosphere we could have. Definitely we will return and highly recommend Ormer. When you choose a place more refined like this one you really expect everything sparkling and perfect. I am quite picky with places and I couldn’t find one single fault. I would suggest just a piano as background, apart of that, this experience was perfect. ”

“ This was a sponsored event so no idea about cost but I'm sure you need to part with a good measure of pounds. We had a private room and service for the guests in the room. The service was amazing, attentive, explaining each part of the meal etc. We had a set Menu that was adjusted for dietary requirements. Generally a starter of cured Cornish mackerel, with a lovely broth main of roast fillet of beef with a side of mash. I didn't have the dairy desert so mine was called fruit selection(it was not fruit) We were given olives and roast almonds and a generous amount of bread, with butter or olive oil and balsamic vinegar for those not having dairy. First of, all the food was beautifully presented and delicious. Each was paired with an appropriate wine, but I'm not a wine drinker so can't comment. My only quibble is the portion size. I am not a huge eater but without the bread I would have gone home still hungry. I don't know how much you need to order to get full but starter, main and desert didn't really cut it. I was so grateful for the bread which was delicious but if you're not a bread fan you're just going to have to order more food. I enjoyed the experience, I enjoyed the company, I enjoyed the service but I'm a hearty kind of gal at heart. I need just a little more food at the end of the day. ”

“ We came here to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary and it was spectacular. The service was fantastic. The atmosphere was calm and classic British. The food was delicious, it was exactly as desired on the menu and really brought out the flavours of the dishes and the chefs inspirational countries. The menu had been curated with lots of flair and very well made. Definitely some beautiful food to enjoy. ”

“ While the food and atmosphere were amazing, it is the people that make this a memorable experience. Rather than maintain a formal atmosphere, the staff at Ormer is very willing to have some fun and help you learn about the food, wine and preparation. There were no "stupid" questions that they wouldn't answer for us. We experienced the five course tasting menu with some of their classic dishes as well as the pigeon - prepared two ways. The sommelier (Pieter?) was a wonderful storyteller and gave us insights into his wine selections. Who knew there was a wine that smelled of tomato vines? Worth every penny of cost. What I also liked is that the staff was very willing to relieve guests of their hats, sunglasses, coats, briefcases, etc. that they would have held onto in other restaurants. They did this with tact and it made the evening more special. ”
