Bellamy's Restaurant — Restaurant in London

The short: I don't think I have had a better experience at a restaurant.

Ill start with the service as it was impeccable, incredibly friendly , attentive and importantly relaxed. I did not feel rushed that restaurants ofter suffer from.

We started with a perfectly prepared martini at the bar, a enjoyable and highly recommend way to start your evening.

On being seated (and chatting for a while mot feeling rushed) we ordered the iced lobster soufflé which was delightful light served with very thin Toasted bread which complemented it well. I also orders the house white which was a very reasonable price for how good it was.

I then had the Steak Tartare, something I would not get often as it needs to be of a certain quality. It was beyond a doubt the best I have had. Perfectly prepared, If you where to ever wish to try steak tartare this is where to do it! I was recommended the garden salad to go with I which did complement it well and I would also recommend.

To finish I had the fantastic marina's chocolate cake. It being my birthday they also severed it with an elegant happy birthday piped on the plate (which was very tasty) and a candle, which was very sweet and really made by day.

I cannot recommend highly enough, I had a fantastic experience. The staff in paricually have my thanks for making it such an enjoyable evening, so thank you for making tonight...

Returned to Bellamy's for my birthday recently with children and a couple of friends. It was rather quiet and subdued when we arrived just after 7 and, in truth, we were a bit noisy. However, by the time we left the place had filled up and the atmosphere warmed up. My party all loved it - even though a bit non-plussed by the Bellamy's tradition of serving Galaxy Minstrels at the end of the meal. Exemplary service with genuine, professional, but unstuffy warmth and delicious food of incredible value If the prices aren't almost too "cheap", they certainly offer amazing value for money ( a meal in Whitstable costs the same with half the overheads)... Delicious roast grouse, steaks, starters of white bread, crab, terrine of goose liver, classic desserts The patron, Mr Rankin was hand to wish everyone bon appetite - the only people who still do that are very...

My wife and I ate here. The staff was attentive and lovely, the setting was charming, but there was a lot else to be desired. I had a good risotto and a quite average sole fish, but my wife's foie gras was flaky and her stake was flavourless, dry and forgettable. We were happy with the bill, except that they tried to add a 'cover cost'. When we questioned this, it was attributed to the seemingly complementary bread and the use of tablecloths, which were stained after a waiter spilt some of our wine from an unwieldy and redundant carafe. This strange cost was quickly removed, but given the lacklustre meal it soured our experience. I don’t believe that it is normal for patrons to pay for a restaurant’s cleaning costs, except insofar as this is reflected in the price of the food. We...
