The interior is WONDERFUL ! The chicken mushroom and champagne pie is a must have! Wide range of wine selection and they're value for money ! Ps: I'm totally in love with the champagne buzzer ZZzzzzzzz

Yols Rodríguez

Superb!. I loved this place. Everything is fantastic. Food, place, service, drinks... Everything. Try the oysters (betters in my life), lobster Mac & cheese , the dulce de leche creme brûlée .

Ashley Chan

Lobster Mac and cheese , chicken champagne pie and Russian dumplings are decent. The novelty here is the champagne button - honestly just come here for that...and the cool opulent interior.

Julia L

My boyfriend had beef and lamb pelmeni and I had potato and mushroom vareniki and we shared our starters - they were absolutely delightful. Fish for the main was great too (I had baked sole?).

Moad Rgeyi

Delicious menu and excellent service, the lobster crab and shrimp Pelmeni was amazing, if you're considering the lobster macaroni don't get any side dish with it cause it's a large portion !

Alexandra Goldstein

Glittery chocolate box surroundings, lovely staff . Lobster burger is wonderful, venison tartare and fish pie very good. Press for champagne button amusing. Extravagant comfort food for grownups.

Elin Sandberg

Only went for the “press for champagne ” but was positively surprised with the service and the delicious lunch . Highly recommend!

Polina Shloydo

Loved the idea of Russian/British fusion or British spin on Russian cuisine. Delicious food, cool interior inspired by Orient Express.

Eleni Sardi

Everything you've read is true: it's opulent, it's glitzy, it's so much fun! The food is excellent and so is the service. You can't help but 'press for champagne '.

Amandine Carrey

Must try the passionfruit and elderflower martini , the lobster pelmini for starter and seriously pricey signature dessert : A delight for tastebuds and for the eyes!!

Valentina Monte

The tar tare was divine and festive but the fries were spiced and unnecessary. Everyone was so kind and lovely! ???? and champagne is divine ????

Lopiteaux

Spectacular interior - like an opulent art deco train carriage. The short menu is full of perfect takes on classic comfort food recipes. Do yourself a favour - go for the Wellington!

Duncan Birch

Absolutely loved this place. Great atmosphere, amazing cocktails . Try the champagne mohito... delicious. Is a push for champagne button :-) have entertainment as well ! Great good..Fillet minion

Rachel Wang Pang

Loved the cocktails here, it was very nice and service was extremely good. Food was surprisingly delicious and lots of flavors. Highly recommended! Order anything, they are very well prepared

Pablo Ampuero

I love this place! Delicious food, top notch service, and a really cool interior (the cocktail bar downstairs is pretty sexy). Make sure to end your meal on a high note with the Chocolate Glory.

Evan Bartlett

Lamb was perfectly cooked, the lobster Mac & cheese (and sweet corn mash ) was insanely decadent, and the wine choices by the glass were quite varied. Service was impeccable.

Lies Pauwels

Absolutely amazing. Payed a lot of attention to details. The food was good and the staff very nice! Expect to get drunk from wodka and champagne

Fatma Sajwani

I'm baffled at all the good food reviews, we had the Brezhnev Oysters , Crab salad , Crispy Baby Chicken & the Mushroom Truffle pasta .. I can describe our experience in 2 words; average and pricey !

BC O

Expensive but the staff there are lovely. The food is delicious. I loved the cocktails as well as the champers. Highly recommend if you feel like splashing out the cash!

Nouf ✨

Truffled potato and mashroom vareniki - crab salad with chilli and avocado - chicken kiev . The strawberry soufflé is not good. The roast Norwegian cod is not good.

Essie S

I think I liked the experience of the place more than the food itself, which in reality is definitively far from the best. Portions are tiny and do not pack a punch. Dessert is amazing though.

K

Champagne on tap is a massive plus but it's a lovely place for a special occasion . The lobster Mac and cheese was divine.

Maria Maria

Amazing place! Great atmosphere, lovely decor and tasty food. The service is great! Try pelmeni

Nigel Cover

Lobster dumplings ????. Great service, seems perfect for small groups of up to 4. Oh and the champagne button !

Baran von Isik

Fantastic menu and venue. The button to order champagne is such a slick touch to this Art Deco old boys club.

P

Great central london spot for some champagne and great food. Lobster mac&cheese is divine!

Kay Teo

Delicious beef wellington but overpriced place. You're paying for the pretension. Small portions for the appetizers and sides, charged for bread and butter, which was a cold baguette & packaged butter

paris mcmahon

Dirty Oyster Martini must try if you like oysters & martini . Rhubarb G&T also unusual & worth trying. Press the Button for Champagne & glug it down with Caviar & Blinis for full Bling factor!

Carla Eid

The interior is amazing, Orient Express mixed with Tsar's extravagant palace . Service is excellent. Food is so so, could be better.Try their signature clear Bloody Mary - the best I have had so far.

Nouf ✨

The crushed peppered sweet corn is really good

Ece Sudogan

Well tried champagne button workss.. Everything was perfectt food cocktails venue.. One should try -18 vodka and caviar

Nono Boué

Get the clear Bloody Mary ... The steak tartare is disappointing (both in taste and size). And someone should tell them that a steak tartare is always served with green salad and fries .

Ain Tohvri

Limited vegetarian options , but all of good quality. Interesting fusion of traditional Russian and English dishes. Well selected white wines .

Laura Laussade

Press champagne button at the table was more fun and exciting than expected. Food was delicate and delicious.

Andrea Carr

Great service, delicious food, buzzing atmosphere. My new favourite.

dai sai

Steak tartare is excellent. Friendly service and comfortable environment

Sera Koç

The main course: Fish Pie was excellent and delicious!dont forget to press for champagne :)

Ido Sela

Beef Wellington cooked to perfection, and the BBR Signature Chocolate Glory for desert is all you need to know.

Daren Williams

Beef wellington is prepared for 2 people, about £50pp, and there's two servings :) Perfectly cooked!

Moozl

Great venue, good starters, disappointing mains. Still recommend to go there once.

Salvo

Great decor and great service. The beef onglet was delicious and perfectly rare. Pricey , but it's worth once in a while.

Lexi Zhao

I went there for birthday. It was such an amazing memory. Love the beef wellington !

Rachel Roth

Get the truffle mashed potatoes . Ask for a bucket and then swim in them.

Pambos Ellinas

AMAZING!one of the best places in London I have ever been !

Jessica Young

Filet mignon was perfect, and completely agree champagne always tastes better out of cut glass ????

Paul Moston

Really good - pork belly was fab. Signature desert was theatre

Y Y

Russian oysters , beef tartar and caviar , champagne , eton mess

Jason Kerr

Rhubarb G & T is delicious. Service is great. Food pretty good too. Lobster dumpling for entrée is a must.

Greg Hollingsworth

Recommend the Waffle & Bellini breakfast ! What a place - the decor is off the scale!

Lucy Perry

Such a fun place to go on a Friday or Saturday night with a bunch of girls and great comfort food
