Review of The Gilbert Scott

When visiting the Capital last June and staying in...

When visiting the Capital last June and staying in the Euston locality, we realised that we were within walking distance of the Gilbert and Scott restaurant at St. Pancras station. The walk from our hotel turned out to be longer than expected. On arrival we were guided to the bar where we were attended to by very friendly and efficient bar staff. Our drinks were quickly placed in front of us, the menus were also supplied for us to peruse, and apologies given that there would be a short wait for a table at the restaurant.
It was not long before we were asked to go to our table. We were rather amazed at the size of the restaurant, and also the number of waiters and waitresses in attendance. Our choices from the menu were delivered in a very short time. We certainly could not fault the meals, and the presentation of everything was superb.
At the end of the meal I casually mentioned that the walk from our hotel had been longer than expected. The immediate response was that a taxi would be available at the front of the hotel if we required one. The overall service was something that we shall never forget and next time we are in the Capital we shall visit the restaurant again.
