   Great experience. Am a great fan of the pie room, even owning the book. We visited to experience the pies. They did not disappoint. Beautiful food and really good service. Staff couldn’t be more helpful. The restaurant is also very beautiful. A little on the pricey side but certainly worth a visit.

   Went for partner’s birthday meal, had pies which were very good but expected outstanding for the price (around £25 for an individual portion with no accompanying vegetables or chips etc). Had seen desert menu online with good options but on the day all five desserts on offer were fruit based - my partner doesn’t love these so it was a bit disappointing, would have been good to have a wider variety. Staff were lovely, only good things to say about them. Overall atmosphere was a bit mixed - felt like the restaurant wasn’t sure what kind of place it wanted to be. No particular ambience.

    Pay attention- I went there on a Thursday with the sole purpose of getting Beef Wellington for my birthday only to find out they only serve it on Wednesday. Still had a delicious meal but was disappointed I had missed my opportunity to try it as we were here from out of town. The website I read about it on made no mention of it not being on the daily menu. Next time I will go straight to the restaurant website as I was told it is very clearly displayed there.

    Terrible !!!! It was a birthday celebration. Our food took 11/2 hours to come. It was as cold. I think they lost our order. Once we complained they took the food off the bill. But no one did anything to compensate for our celebration being ruined. There was not even mention of the birthday. — the staff were unprofessional and lost. I am surprised this happened — we were so looking forward to a family celebration

    A regular prior to lockdown, I returned to mark a special friends birthday and all I can say is that I won't be rushing back again because the service was shocking. Drinks took 20 minutes to arrive, food arrived before drinks (the full drinks order didn't arrive either so we had to re-request with a further delay), waiting staff barely checked on us and dessert arrived with the catering labels still stuck to the glass for the rhubarb trifle. I think if Holborn Dining Rooms expect people to pay the prices they are asking PLUS a 15% service charge they should address the support and training they give to their floor staff. Not on.

    The pies here are what I came for, and they did not disappoint! We started with the burrata appetizer and the savoury tart. Both were delicious and perfect for sharing. Then came my beef cheek pie in a suet crust. It was decadent and I can feel the heart attack coming on. But it was so worth it. With a side of french fries, I definitely wouldn't want to get my vitals checked after this meal, but the pie was such a special treat. And what a lovely ambience and attentive wait staff!

    The dining area is really beautiful but the service and food were not great on this occasion. The waiter that we had was odd. We were asked for drinks and he seemed fine then. After 20 minutes when we asked to order he was really off and didn't even look at us - it was really strange. Then when he came to ask how we were later he was laughing to himself a lot. Made me paranoid. Had some sour dough bread which tasted good but my stomach hurt a lot after this. Had soup to start and it was not very tasty. Had the chicken and mushroom pie which was excellent but struggled due to my stomach. I have been here quite a few times but won't be going again. A shame as other experiences have been better but for the cost and this experience I'll find somewhere else.

    I was unfortunately abit underwhelmed. The steak I had was quite bland and the mocktail I ordered ( Marine gimlet ) was practically thimble sized! I think the pricing is fairly standard for central London. We paid just under £100 for 2 main courses, 1 beer, 1 mocktail and a soft drink. I think we could have done better and I probably won't go back unfortunately. I have great memories of the Dining Room 6 years ago, but it seems to have gone a little downhill. On the positive side the staff were lovely.

    Arrived early but lots of space so shown to our table. Chose pies that stayed up to 30 mins but they arrived much quicker. These were great. I had curried mutton and it was delicious. Weren’t offered bread although shown on menu. Wine is massively overpriced. We chose one of the most expensive carafes and it was ok but @£55 for 500ml it should have been fantastic. Cheapest Italian wine was something like £60 a bottle. Simply a rip off. Service tailed off and we had to ask for the Puddings menu but they didn’t appeal.

    It took 15 minutes to catch someone’s attention just to get a menu. We were ignored all evening and had to constantly chase service. After receiving a £600 bill for 2 meals with wine I was then challenged when I wasn’t happy to pay the service charge. Complete disappointment!!

    Restaurant not overly busy which made it very good. Our table was compact and it would have been uncomfortable if the restaurant had been full. Portions were generous so we were very well fed. Staff and manager were excellent. We were shown the ‘pie hole’ despite it being closed. Our visit was for a birthday celebration and we were presented with a cake & candle to complete our meal.
