    Today I ate the 25 pound promotion for a Sunday Roast and a glass of wine, the portion is smaller than many I've eaten, but it had a very good difference in that it was a big, thick beef and not just a thin piece of roast beef. Pleasant service and atmosphere.

    Returning patrons/diners of both the Potting Shed and the Dorset Square Hotel. A further delicious meal coupled with friendly, courteous and professional staff. Highly recommend and looking forward to our next visit/stay.

    Having booked an early table at this somewhat upmarket place my friend and I wanted and expected a quiet, comfortable experience. We arrived to find 50+ people at a pre-booked event at the bar next to the table area and sometimes spilling in to the area. The noise was intolerable. The menu is limited but the food is good. At £150 for two for a one course meal with wine I'd say pricey, especially as that included a"discretionary" 12.5% service charge. I thought this outrageous scam had stopped.

    Location is great if you want to be near Marylebone station, pleasant decor, and the food was pretty decent although not outstanding. The best part was the service - when booking I often request a table in a quieter area during to hearing issues. Mostly this request gets ignored but at the Potting Shed they had obviously read what I had asked for and were really helpful in getting the best table for me. I would definitely choose to go back there again at some point.

    Staff and service excellent. Good choice on menu . Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Prices reasonable for a London restaurant. Would recommend especially if you like cricket as this is the theme of restaurant.
