I have had the pleasure to visit the Savoy Grill Sept 29th with my mother. My mom s favorite chef is Gordon Ramsay. She loves everything Mr Ramsay does and so do I.
My mom s other dream was to see and visit the Royal Albert Hall. Doing this got us almost 45 minutes late our reservation. I tried everything to get to the restaurant on time but I am not used to traffic in London unfortunately. When arrived at the S. Grill I apologized for being incredibly late and the lady at the reception was very kind and understanding. The other gentlemen working with her were making jokes so I wouldn t feel as embarrassed. I felt welcome!
After taking our coats, the waiter took us to our table and heard me speak French. He then quickly sent us another waiter who spoke French. Before getting into my experience I want to acknowledge the space around a table for two. If you ve just been shopping you ll absolutely have enough space for your bags.
Our lovely French waiter made conversation as he handed us our menu. What I appreciated the most was the selection of side dishes. It is a detail that makes the difference.

He came back with two little cups. He explained that it was a little soup made with so many ingredients I wouldn t even be able to remember what they were.
Our Beef Wellington came and we had decided to go with Truffle mash potatoes. I would like to add that you re eating with actual silver forks and knives.
You get two pieces of Beef Wellington which is quite big for one person to eat. I asked one of the waiter if it was possible to have my leftover wrapped to take it home. No dirty looks were given to me !

I absolutely had the best time at The Savoy Grill. When you look around while waiting you see the staff running around like musicians playing a symphony. Nothing is left behind. You won t see a waiter give a dirty look to another one. It s like they read each other s mind. I m a middle class woman who was treated like a Duchess.
