Sensational, Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of London

The Lanesborough Grill

I really wish I could say we had an amazing meal here, but unfortunately, we did not. I am a cook and I was really looking forward to this meal as this place has great reviews. I booked this for my birthday. The venue is absolutely stunning. The atmosphere and jazz band were amazing. Their wine list is extensive and expensive. We ordered a bottle of Morgon beaujolais, which is one of my favourite wines.
However, the food was a massive letdown. I had the scallop to start. Absolutely tasteless! Hubby had the tuna, which was nice but nothing special. We ordered a side of tomato salad, which was nice, but there was absolutely no seasoning on it. This is sacrilege. Tomatoes must have salt!
We shared the beef wellington. I prefer my own, I have to say. Not much beef inside, way more mushroom to beef ratio. The sides were cold on the plate, and the truffle mash was ice cold.  The red wine jus had split. When the waiter poured the sauce all over the plate, he really should have noticed that the sauce had split, but he was oblivious. When I mentioned the ice cold mash potato and veg, a manager came over and made a huge deal of bringing us more mash potatoes.
I am attaching photos. If you zoom into the beef wellington, you will see the split red wine sauce all over my plate. This put me off ordering desert as I couldn't take any more disappointment. Our bill was £300 including a £31 service charge.
Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed the environment, the music, the service, the wine. But the thing I was looking forward to most was the food, and I was so underwhelmed.

Had the pleasure of eating with a friend at The Lanesborough Grilll. We choosed the Festive Menu and were very happy with it, all the flavours were balanced and some surprising (definitely suggest to take the Hazelnut Brioche with the Chicken Terrine.)
We also took the Tomato Salad and Hash brown from the à la carte Menu which were both delicious.

The Service was attentive yet not too much and the live music definitely added some extra to the ambiance.

Will come back!

Every dish was made with great care and creativity — beautifully presented and full of flavor. The service was excellent and friendly, and the restaurant itself was stunning, with elegant lights and a warm, comfortable atmosphere. It was a dining experience I’ll always remember.

5 star service. A lovely dinner experience in a warm, relaxing down to earth atmosphere. Impressive blue/white Wedgwood decorations in the restaurant. Formally known as Celeste. Now English cuisine instead of French Cuisine. Very good quality.
We love to come back for a fifth time experience.

I celebrated my birthday at The Lanesborough Grill and had a truly wonderful experience. The food was exceptional – every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The restaurant’s decor is elegant and luxurious, making it a perfect place for a special occasion.

The service was outstanding from start to finish. All the staff were professional, attentive, and warm. I’d like to especially thank Mike, who stood out with his friendliness and genuine service mind – he made our evening even more memorable.

We will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!

All our products in our main kitchen (different kitchen from Celeste restaurant) are Halal, therefore there is no worry of cross-contamination. In our Celeste kitchen, at the moment we do not have any Halal offering. This is because we have approached game season (which we have in our menu). When Celeste does offer Halal options, then there is no cross-contamination. All our non-Halal products are stored separate from the Halal ones.
