Clos Maggiore Covent Garden

After wanting to go for dinner here for years, I finally went last night and it lived up to my extremely high recommendations. The atmosphere was sensational, the service was truly impeccable, and the food was absolutely exquisite! I wanted to give a special thank you to one of our waiters called Ali - he was funny, down to earth and really personable!

The food and service were amazing. But when the desserts arrived I was expecting something special as it was my partner’s birthday which I specified when I booked the table...but nothing. I was a bit disappointed as I could see that some other couple next to us had a little chocolate cake to share but I didn’t dare asking for something.

We went for a birthday yesterday ( Sunday ) and the experience was overall good, the only disappointing part was that, despite having noted on the reservation that this is for a birthday celebration ( the server did asked and greeted us that this is for a birthday), there has been no candles and treats offered as shown by other customers here. We didn't asked about that as we are not sure whether their custom changed for them after the pandemic, bit still can't help but feeling a bit disappointed as quite frank, we chose this partly based on what they do for celebrations. We ended up getting gelato elsewhere to celebrate though!
