Had dinner at Origin restaurant. Beautifully prepared, tasty food, by the talented chef. Everything was perfectly cooked, the gravy was silky and addictive. Istvan was very efficient and helpful all evening. My husband had a surprised birthday candle. The decor of the restaurant was simple but relaxing, perhaps more gentle lighting would have been even better.
1st visit to London, and Afternoon Tea was my #1 thing to do! Did alot of research on the best places (and prices) and chose Origin; it was mid-priced and got great reviews. It did not disappoint! Cost was about 45 GBP per person, with optional champagne, prosecco and other drinks (yes please!). Coming from the US I wanted to make reservations, and emailed back / forth with Sada, a hostess there. Her communication was great. Origin is the restaurant within a hotel and both are just lovely. Our server explained everything, the presentation was impeccable and everything was delicious. There were a few hot things (like mini quiches), then savory sandwiches (I recall a curry, chicken salad, smoked salmon, cream cheese with cucumber), and a gorgeous display of sweets and scones. In-between, they bring an intermezzo (sorbet, chocolate crumbs, edible flowers and more). After, we walked through Kensington Gardens on a beautiful day (the first, after many days of being cold and rainy I guess.. people were sunning themselves on the grassy slopes). All in all a beautiful experience.
Had a wonderful Sunday lunch at this restaurant today. Food was delicious, service was absolutely impeccable. Had booked a two course meal, which was supplemented with a complimentary serving of mushroom soup. There was a selection of starters including fish and vegetarian courses. Mains consisted of various options including beef, lamb and a vegetarian option (butternut squash). There were also a delicious selection of desserts. Food was served in a timely manner, had water at the table which was topped up regularly. Gravy and horseradish sauce were served separately. The staff were an absolute delight and made us feel so welcome. Big shout out to the waitress who took our dessert order and made us smile. Well done to the whole team!
Used a travelzoo voucher, but the service and food was no different had I not had one. Impeccable presentation, and the taste and portions were wonderful. The atmosphere is great and staff are so attentive, without being 'in your face'. Will definitely go back again with a voucher. Don't think I can stretch to full price!
Took my parents for an early dinner. Food was good quality and beautifully presented. Wine was lovely too. We had great service from our waiter Istvan. Vegan options on the menu were more creative than is typical from most restaurants.
Great afternoon tea experience. They do a delicious scone, mini sandwiches, beautiful cakes and variety tea you can choose. The place itself is beautiful and it is very nice to spend the afternoon enjoying the atmosphere and viewing the sights from the table near the window. We ordered 2 complete afternoon tea set with tea. Highly Recommended.
Very impressed. We went for the Oyster weekend special and it was outstanding. One of the best Bloody Mary’ I have tasted. Just the right amount of spicy! Oysters were big and delicious. The deco was upmarket and the view of Hyde Park was beautiful. Felt very relaxed. Our waiter Kasim was super friendly and attentive. Made the experience super special.
Had a pre-theatre meal here. Great mix of options on the menu. Favorites were the fried cauliflower for starters and the monk fish which we had for mains. Also has lovely views of Hyde park which is a bonus.
