The MAINE Mayfair Restaurant & Bar Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was cooked perfectly."
• "The desserts in particular were massive and definitely worth the money."
• "The angry lobster pasta was very tasty but could have used more lobster in it."
• "The Grilled Seabass is something to come back for again and again."
• "The standout dish for me was the Halal 800g NY Sirloin Steak which was cooked to perfection and succulent and full of flavour."

Cons:

• "Desserts were very good all around beside the cheese cake which was quite disappointing."
• "The food was amazing, however, the Tomahawk steak - we ordered it medium rare but it was burnt in some places and quite bitter overall."
• "The food is very expensive in terms of price-quality ratio."
• "The fish tacos had a nice flavour but were not crispy enough, and pasta linguine felt too much tomato sauce and not so much flavour."
• "The sticky toffee pudding was drier than the Sahara and cold."

Service

Pros:

• "Callum - our host for the evening - gave us excellent suggestions and we pretty much went with everything he suggested."
• "The service was fantastic - above the mark for London."
• "Sam and Santa accommodated us perfectly so we could fully enjoy our time."
• "The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, making it easy to navigate the menu and choose the perfect wine to complement my meal."
• "Service was out of league: very reserved and simultaneously extremely attentive."

Cons:

• "The service staff is not very skilled."
• "We did have some ups and downs with our second waiter but it happens on a busy service so no complaints."
• "Service at the bar (Tavern) was too slow."
• "I am very disappointed in the service of the restaurant for its caliber."
• "The service was a disaster, incredibly impolite staff, and pretentious energy."

Ambience and Entertainment

Pros:

• "The atmosphere is perfect for a night out or just a date."
• "The amazing Chandelier in the centre of the room is stunning especially when it starts changing colours."
• "The live band and music which was excellent although it was a little bit dark when the music started."
• "The jazz band and dancer were shockingly better than expected, and I already had high expectations."
• "The live music, gorgeous venue, and nostalgic atmosphere, this was a dinner to remember!"

Cons:

• "However, the atmosphere lacked (we went on a Sunday)."
• "The music finished not long after we arrived and we expected like Inca 15 minutes later alternative performers would arrive."
• "The ambiance is beautiful, the singers/band were absolutely the saving grace of this place. The food was ok but we felt like being rushed through every dish."
• "The music was great too, but for price was too high."
• "The service was not a match. Paid a lot of money, no problem, but it is if you have to leave your table so they can fill it again."
