Service
Pros:
"The waiter we had was very nice and helpful. he explained every dish to us and made our entire experience pleasant."
"Service was great, patient and explained every dish."
"Put together with excellent service - friendly, while still meeting the highest standards."
"The staff could not have been more charming, informative and considerate."
"Very knowledgeable and friendly waiters, every dish was well-explained."
"The service was super professional, and our waiter as well as the restaurant manager was full of humor and light-hearted."
"The service was friendly and faultless."
Cons:
"Because they didn’t communication beforehand about my friend’s name, when singing the birthday song they didn’t know who was celebrating."
"Unfortunately Not a great experience, despite the price waitress was kind of snobby and did not pay much attention."
"Some staff touch your chair when they walk past."
"Sometimes, the staff is not so polite."
"At first they claimed they didn’t receive the cake, and took a long while of communication to figure out actually they did receive the cake which I felt they were very disorganised."
"The only nick picking would be that a fruit fly landed into my wine glass but a staff member was helpful enough to fish it out for me."
"The service was excellent... Except for a small hiccup."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Some of the food was fantastic but certain dishes felt like they didn't work - the frozen scallops stick out as something that was trying too hard and not achieving the desired aim."
"Dishes were tasty, unique but still very British."
"The food was superb with some of the dishes amongst the best that I’ve tasted."
"Every course was just stunning."
"The high lights of the meal for me being the chalk stream trout with shiso and the muntjac dear… the grated heart on a piece of aubergine was so creamy and smoky and the dumpling to with hints of spruce."
"The food is truly out of this world, I could go on for days about the quality and incredible flavors."
"Every delicious bite seemed to be an explosion of flavors…combinations we hadn’t had before that surprised and delighted."
Cons:
"The starter of scallop ceviche was nice enough, but I've had more flavourful versions elsewhere."
"The Cornish Cod at the fourth course was the only slight miss. The cod was perfectly cooked, but the flavours of turnip and honey just didn't quite work with the fish."
"The mains were basic and nothing came across as ‘incredible’ for a £120 4-course meal, we expected more."
"The white beetroot with smoke eel was a little disappointing."
"Food also was in the majority tasteless."
"Though some of the taste were not my cup of tea."
"The reason for the ‘average’ 3 stars was the food."
Ambiance
Pros:
"This restaurant is stunning. Classical simple decor is perfect setting for the food you are about to experience."
"Atmosphere is nice if not a little uninspiring."
"Not having a dress code yet the atmosphere is warm and very cosy."
"The room feels classy and expensive, without being overdone or stuffy."
"The romantic ambiance was just what we were looking for."
"The decor is perhaps simplistic but fits with the staff that genuinely seemed happy to work there, giving the place a down to earth vibe."
"The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated to a high standard, creating a lovely ambience."
Cons:
"The tables are too close to each other, some chairs standing 20 cm to each other."
"The restaurant was quite noisy, disturbing noisy."
"However towards the end of the meal as people started to leave it did get very quiet with no music or background noise."
"Just the smoke rosemary is brought out with the mushroom where the smoke is a little disturbing to others who are not yet on that course."
"Worth noting that they may want to be mindful of table placement and managing glare coming through the high windows with some sort of blind."
"But after our meal we would not recommend the Ledbury to friends given the quality and price."
"Nowadays you have to have the tasting menu at night so there is no choice there and the a la carte menu is only available at lunch time."
Value
Pros:
"£388 for two inc service, 8 course tasting each, 2x glass of white, 1 x bottle of red."
"It's true it's a pricey experience, not intended for daily dining, but I've never left feeling even a penny short of delighted."
"Interesting dishes overall and good value for money."
"The tasting menu is worth every penny, stunning food that really should cost a lot more than it does."
"In regards to price, well priced but worth!!!"
"The lunch deal is very good value."
"Lunch menu is accessible and not too expensive."
Cons:
"The cocktails and drinks are a little expensive and can easily add to the bill which will be at the high end range."
"One big plus of the Ledbury is the wine list, my wine was £400 while Umu sells it at £600."
"As expected it’s pricey and we know whenever we visit a top Michelin restaurant the prices in central London will be quite steep (so be prepared for that)."
"It’s not cheap, but if you’re celebrating a special occasion or want to treat someone special, I couldn’t recommend a visit here enough."
"While an evening here may cost you, it will still be worthwhile."
"I left feeling completely satisfied, and I can confidently say that the price was more than worth it and I would happily spend there again."
"This place is in such high demand that if you're lucky enough to get a reservation, you might as well go all out and try the tasting menu with the wine pairing."
