The Coral Room Reviews Summary

Atmosphere & Decor

Pros:

• "The interiors and atmosphere were so lovely I could have stayed there all day."
• "It was relaxing and felt as if I was Zelda Sayre visiting London in the roaring 20s. The decor is fabulous!"
• "Would absolutely go back here purely for the atmosphere and the comfortability of it all."
• "The Coral Room sure is a classy place to have your drink. The great service, tasteful music, and nice decor make up for it."
• "The restaurant itself is beautiful, very chic decor, vibrant colours."

Cons:

• "On the downside, I found the decor and atmosphere extremely pokey, featuring selfie-taking tourists, people eating at the bar, and precarious barstools."
• "Ambience/decor is decent, that’s the only thing going for it."
• "I feel almost reticent about writing a review as this simply is not a bar that offers an experience that is comparable to the best that London has to offer."

Service

Pros:

• "My waitress was so warm and lovely."
• "The staff are very meticulous about making sure they abide by everyone’s tastes, allergies, and dietary restrictions, and are very patient and friendly!"
• "Exceptional service and atmosphere. Went for afternoon tea and the scones are amazing!"
• "Fantastic! Had such a nice afternoon tea with my mum here who was visiting from NZ. The service was great they really helped us make the most of the afternoon tea."
• "The service was a little slow but interactions with servers were all great."

Cons:

• "The person who sat us was very nice, but one of the dark-haired waitresses had quite an aggressive manner, and was very abrupt."
• "However, my two faults are that the service was quite slow although our waitress was very kind."
• "Was hoping to go for their terrace restaurant, but unfortunately it was booked out. The service was a little slow as it was very busy on coronation day."

Food & Drinks

Pros:

• "Food was delicious and beautifully presented."
• "Lovely place to get a drink. There’s a huge number of cocktails on offer."
• "Really really enjoyed the dishes we ordered."
• "One of the best experiences with afternoon tea in London! Everything from the food and service to the atmosphere is on par with the big ones!"
• "The in-house cocktails were novel and delish."

Cons:

• "I didn’t enjoy my Banana daiquiri cocktail, it tasted too strong."
• "A beautiful aesthetic but I’m not sure about the cocktails. Why? Well, they are served in different sizes yet charges the same amount of money."
• "But food wise, we were disappointed. We ordered 2 brunches: the starter was really good (falafel) but then the mains were not good and we couldn't even finish it."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "The Coral Room is also very well situated, only a 2-minute walk from the British museum and in the heart of beautiful Bloomsbury."
• "In general, reasonably priced and great experience, would recommend."
• "Exceptional service and atmosphere. Went for afternoon tea and the scones are amazing! Would definitely recommend for the tea experience and is great quality for a reasonable price."

Cons:

• "Although on the pricey side (£15 for most cocktails), the great service, tasteful music, and nice decor make up for it."
• "A beautiful aesthetic but I’m not sure about the cocktails. Why? Well, they are served in different sizes yet charges the same amount of money, my cocktail has a huge chunk of ice in it which watered it down immensely."
• "This place is a posh place. The drinks are not cheap😅 We paid £30 for a rose vine and Jack Daniels and Cola 🤭😁😱🥴"
