   Wonderful grand brasserie dining room, but service amiable rather than slick - hostess fiddling with her iPad took an age to welcome us. Wine glasses not filled up. Food a strange mix of good and less good. My veal rump came with homeopathic levels of morel and asparagus- not justifying the price. Was also in a buttery emulsion completely at odds with the veal jus served in a jug alongside. Odd. Though famous for its pies, the chef who developed this reputation has left. The prices are as you’d expect for a restaurant forming part of a 5* London hotel. As is now usual in London you have to look really hard for reasonable wine under £50/bottle - though in fairness there is a decent selection by the glass and carafe. A reasonable-ish meal in an area where much is shut on a Sunday, but I certainly wouldn’t rush back.

   We had a fabulous evening at the Holborn Dining Room. We were warmly greeted by the charming manager, Robert, who later took us for a visit to the Pie Room where their specialty dishes are created each day. We enjoyed our conversation with him - Robert has the perfect combination of personality, charm, and hospitality for his role and he is an asset to the restaurant and hotel. Dinner was excellent - the freshest ingredients prepared skillfully and of the highest quality. We split a fresh English asparagus with ham and egg as an appetizer (wonderful!), and for entrees had the mouth watering fish and chips and the chicken pie. We were both happy with our selections. For dessert a delectable strawberry panna cotta. The dining room is chic and beautifully lit with jazzy but subtle music in the background. We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the excellent, on-point, and attentive service from our waiter, Nico, who completed the evening with style and perfection. Highly recommend this dining experience while in London!

   We went to eat there because they're famous for the pies, but we were disappointed. Price is really high,but the problem is that the food it's not at the same level.

   As always, a very positive dining experience. Service was attentive and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious. Ambiance perfect. We lingered as it was my husband’s birthday, and there no sense of us overstaying our welcome. I’d noted in the booking that it was a birthday lunch, which was mentioned when we sat down, and acknowledged with a little courtesy cake with a candle later in the meal. Very thoughtful. Thank you for making our day out in London memorable. See you again before too long.

   Very tasty pies but way over priced - £36 for a small pie is too much. I'd expect to pay that for a Michelin star main course, not a half decent bit of pastry and filling. Tiny portion of mash for £8 not good enough. Might have been one large potato mashed? Servers looked bored rigid. Little atmosphere to remember. I'm sure lots of people love this place but very disappointed overall after hearing so much about it.

    I have visited a few times and I do always have a good time, good ambience, lovely decor and attentive service. Unfortunately my recent visit included a very over done rib eye steak. I let the wait staff know which they actioned straight away but it did mean my client and I were eating at different times and ultimately I was shocked to see that I was still charged for the item on the bill at the end. Maybe it's best to stick to the pies!

    Came here for a business breakfast and paid almost £115 for me and one other (two people in total).No specific complaints about the service or quality of food (as you'd probably expect for the cost) however for £6.50 per coffee and £6.50 per orange juice, £5 per person for toast that wasn't included within the hot breakfast costs, and a 15% service charge calculated on the total after VAT is added, I would strongly recommend others avoid here and instead for these prices, look at going to the Ritz, Wolseley and Dorchester etc for all round better value for money and experience.

    The food was excellent but over-priced. We had a starter then a average sized pie and chips. The food was very good. Only one of the four of us fancied a pint of lager so had water so no great expense there but the bill came to 200 pounds exactly which is steep even at London prices. The 15% Service probably didnt help with the cost but the staff were very good so we paid it.

    This is usually an excellent restaurant with great food and service. My favourites are the meat pies. However this visit was disappointing. They let me book a table for 1:45pm but when we arrived were told they were having a special event. So we would have to finish by 3pm. 1hr 15 minutes for an expensive meal is ridiculous. They should never have taken a reservation with less than 2 hours guaranteed dining time. Be warned!

    We really enjoyed our afternoon & evening, the atmosphere, staff and food were outstanding. The venue has a lovely atmosphere old fashioned charm with a vibrant twist. The staff were warm, welcoming and very professional.
