Having been a few times now, i think that this time was a little below the previous times. That said the waiter who served us the cheese trolley was great, very knowledgeable and polite and the cheeses were definitely the highlight of the evening

Can't fault the food.
Wine is great, especially when paired with the tasting menu. If alcohol isn't your thing then go for the non alcohol option as those drinks are amazing!

After hearing from other people about L Ortolan and to celebrate a special occasion together, we decided to push the boat out and have dinner there. The service was very good throughout and the drinks menu was priced relatively well.

Had the pleasure of dining at L'Ortolan as a treat from my employer. My partner and I experienced the 12 course "Chefs Table" experience.

The whole night from start to finish was an amazing experience.

The chef and his team,while under pressure to deliver such amazing food to the entire restaurant still took their time to talk us through all the dishes and why they chose them.

While it is not cheap, it's an amazing experience that is worth every penny.

I cannot recommend enough what an amazing night this was. Shared with company too that will make it a night we'll never forget.

Thank you L'Ortolan.

I give the food and staff 5 stars but found the atmosphere in the conservatory area where we were sitting a bit meh. We had the 7 course taster - couldn't have eaten the 10 course, stuffed!

My wife and I went here to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. We had the surprise menu which was an amazing experience. There was only 1 course which we weren't in love with but the other 9 were great :)

Food looks amazing however it took a very long time and was just too much poncy behaviour. They tell you what your going to eat which would be amazing if I actually knew what they were on about!... I know better places and cheaper. Fail!

Dinner at L Ortolan is a lovely experience. The food and wine are excellent and the skill of the chefs, sommelier and waiting staff in creating an unforgettable experience must be commended. I have only given 4 stars however as the other More

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at L'ortolan. We cannot fault the food for taste and presentation, and the service was second to none.

We both chose the 7 course Gourmand menu which can be found on their website. We photographed a few to share.

A fantastic evening. I would definitely recommend it.

We had a lovely tasting menu with lots of dishes and ingredients that I would not normally try. The food was good, no complaints. The wine was also lovely, however the overall cost I would say is a little high. Obviously with covid restrictions some things are a bit weird like the menu on your phone via a qr code, but you can forgive that. However for a Premier cost place I would expect better from the surroundings. The decor is a bit like my grandmothers and as for the gents toilet, the toilet seat was broken and falling off. This had obviously been broken for a long time. Not good enough! Also trying to listen to the description of the dishes by the waiters when they have face masks is tricky. A visor would be much more useful and probably more comfortable for the waiters.

Went for the 10 course taster menu at chef's table. You get a glass of champagne and reserved seat in the bar to kick things off. Once ready we were taken through and introduced to Sous chef James. The experience of seeing the kitchen in action was great, James was generous with his time in answering the many questions we had. The food was amazing and paired wines well selected. The only small negative was that the portions were too big , but James explained it was a new menu and welcomed the feedback. All in all, a great evening and would highly recommend.

Booked in the Nest Restaurant, which is the Bistro part of L'Ortolan. Firstly, in these strange times, the covid related precautions are good, including our temperature taken at reception. Food wise, the menu is limited, but our selections were bought to us quickly. Food quality was good. But not great. The Nest itself requires some investment and the decor needs modernising, so didn't feel as high end as the restaurant makes itself out to be. Which was disappointing, hence the three stars.

Food was pretty good, and wine flight was superb. a bit of an obscure location, but delightful evening. Dining room setting is quite basic and very bright in the main room, bar area looked more cosy

It started with a slow and unsure service but once we were on the 2nd of 7 courses the food and wine was amazing and a service to match it.

We had a vegitarian and no fish / sea food eater (5 in our party) and the chef was able to create wonderful dish to suit everyone.

The staff did extremely well under the circumstances and big well done to the Sommelier and his chose of champagne and wine. The Chef for the scallops and lamb.

I love this place. Food, wine, service are all excellent. Welcoming and friendly but with great attention to detail on all fronts, and represents great value for money if you're wanting something a little special.

I went for a lunch at l'Ortolan with my family today. We chose the prestige menu (10 courses). The food was wonderful. Some dishes were exquisite. A few of them did not work so well for me but were still really good. It is pricey but it such a unique experience. The staff was great with a good introduction to each dish.

Great food, great service, great wine. We had a lovely A la carte dinner. Superb.
The only downer was that we booked the chauffeur service. We paid the driver upon arrival but were given a bill at the end of the night by the restaurant. We told them we had paid already and were met with derision " that's not how it's done" they then made a big fuss about it, making us feel awkward. We were told the taxi would he 2 minutes. An hour later and 2 other groups being sent out before us, ours arrived. The driver was then surly with us because we had told the restaurant we had paid. I feel one of their drivers was trying a fiddle and got caught.
Great food, avoid their "chauffeur" service. Book your own taxi.

Great food, atmosphere and staff. Menus had a QR code in to browse via your own mobile instead of sharing menus. Good cocktails. Amazing French food. Ratatouille was underwhelming, don't we all expect the one from the movie now? But it's more like a small pot of thick vegetable tomato soup.

We went for lunch for my wife's birthday, as it was a surprise and to keep the meal "light" we went for the "Taste of L'Ortolan" menu, six courses in total, and each one a delight. Service was impeccable, the building itself classy but not More

Celebrated my daughters birthday here and meal was superb. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. Had the tarte tatin and it was delicious. Covid measures were good and didn't negatively affect the experience. Will definitely be going again.

Service was excellent, food was excellent, attention to detail excellent, check out the midweek special menu and the apple, toffee dessert looked and tasted great! The reason I did not give 5 stars was because the toilets are not of a high standard, which I find strange at such a nice establishment!

Felt like there was a significant wait in-between dishes especially for dessert. It felt like they may have just forgotten about us so we had to ask for it. For the sort of money it costs you expect better

Amazing
