Petrus

Last night at Petrus by Gordon Ramsay was an incredible experience from start to finish. Each dish had unique flavor profiles that impressed us, like the smoked eel with its initial smokiness that gave way to other ingredients as we ate through it. I now understand better how the ingredients work together to help create a harmonious meal. We had a reservation at 9pm and didn't leave until midnight. The environment was very high class being a Michelin starred restaurant with very reserved lighting and waiters who would come to top off your drinks whenever they got low. What a great experience...

Top 3 in my book.this restaurant is deserving of it's one star Michelin ratings.

The place is easy to have a conversation. From double linen tablecloths, carpet and window treatments, it muted the noises. Although our table faced another couple so smile at them, it was elegantly decorated.

Our server, Dua, was very professionally and made our close to three hour dining very enjoyable. The sommelier helped me guide through their wines and decided to do glasses of wine.

We did the prestige tasting menu and did not disappoint! My friend didn't want the lamb and they substituted it for 100 day aged beef. It was a fantastic sub out. Like a fine piece of art work on your plate and everything just paired perfectly with the sauces and veggies with the main stars of the dishes.

So glad we dined here as my fine dining experience in London!

We had a lovely dinner there the other night. This is a great location and the team are very knowledgeable and professional. We did the prestige tasting menu with wine pairings. The somm did a great job and engaged us explaining the wines and chit chatting. Unlike some wine pairings when they get a little out there, they stayed in the fairway but took a few chances (an interesting red from the canary islands).

Sadly by the time we got to the chocolate dessert, we were pretty full (we did opt for cheese). The cheese plate was probably the highlight of the meal with a great selection of goat (ash), creamy (brillat savarin), hard (comte), soft (cannot recall the name) and blue. The brown bread was nice. I do wish more restaurants would provide some plain bagette with cheese but this cheese was so good we really didnt need bread or crackers.

The rest of the meal was lovely--tomato tart, scallops, cod and lamb. The scallops probably had a touch too much lemon in them (The gel and the foam) and the peas with the lamb were pretty minty. I'm nitpicking of course and for some, these meals are all about the right balance of flavors.

5 stars for the amazing service we received. First, I want to point out that we had originally made dinner reservations here the first night we'd be in town. What we didn't account for was potential delays in both flights and traffic! So we were almost very late to this reservation. We didn't even get to change from our flight clothes into more appropriate clothes for the tasting.

I dined at Petrus in yoga pants, a hoodie and sneakers. No make up. To put it simply. In 100% full American fashion.

We also came trudging along with our suitcases! The staff was kind enough to hold those for us and seat us. If they were judging us, we couldn't tell.

Everything we ate was memorable. Most dishes included a pouring of some type of sauce or soup. Which I thought was interesting. We were stuffed by the end of it. It was a ton of food that we had to take the Madeline's to go!

Everyone present was dressed for the occasion and May or may not have been enjoying a date. I felt very happy that this was our first experience in England!

I have been coming to Petrus for as long as I can remember - from when it was the hot new restaurant in town on St. James's. While it has not been the hot new restaurant nor has it been on St. James's for some time, Petrus has remained a favorite. Unfortunately I cannot say that anymore. Nothing is bad and the service is still impeccable, but the food is bland and not particularly unique. It is simply an expensive restaurant living off its reputation. Gordon needs to do a Hell's Kitchen reboot to get it back to its former glory. It would be truly sad to see it simply whither away like so many other classic dining establishments.

Just had the most incredible culinary experience at Petrus in London! We were lucky enough to snag a spot at the chef's table, right in the heart of the kitchen. Watching the talented chefs create not only the meals for the main dining room but also crafting unique and decadent dishes just for us was mind-blowing.

I never knew such a culinary journey existed until now. The service was top-notch, a solid 100! The atmosphere, with the hustle and bustle of the kitchen, added an extra layer of excitement to the whole experience.

Each dish was a work of art, meticulously handmade and presented to our table. The chefs took the time to explain every element, making us feel like true connoisseurs. It was a feast for the senses, with flavors and textures that I never thought possible.

If you're a food lover like me, Petrus is an absolute must-visit. Prepare to be amazed and taken on a gastronomic adventure like no other. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Come on Now! Gordan Ramsay so it has to be good right? Not always, I hear a lot of people saying he is getting too commercial. I agree with this especially in Las Vegas, been to a few of his places there and they were very good and very pricey but not what I would call anything near essence of Ramsay, especially his burger and pizza places.
Petrus on the other hand is an entirely different beast. This is a true Michelin star dining experience, so alot a few hours to enjoy.
The staff is impeccable, there are half a dozen people waiting on you at all time. My wife tried pouring water for herself and the water boy came running to pour the water, he almost looked annoyed that she was going to pour her own water!
The food was truley phenomenal, we opted for the chef's menu with wine pairing. Each dish was explained to us as well as the wine that went with it. The food looked so beautiful that I did not want to eat, but alas, I did and it was so damn good.
Forget Hell's kitchen, you must try this dining experience. It is well worth it for a special occasion.

I had the most disappointing experience in any restaurant here. Let me preface my 2 stars by saying that our wait staff and sommelier were fantastic as was the food. My issue was their dishonesty. I booked the chefs table on open table using the "Experience" tab, where it describes the dining experience as being in the kitchen at a specific cost. After traveling from the United States with friends we were all totally excited. Imagine our distress when we found out we were being seated elsewhere. Not a huge deal as we still had dinner, but how they handled it was deplorable. Their manager tried to convince me that I had not booked it, going on and on about procedures that THEY have in place that had not happened - none of which a customer would know even existed and were not shown during booking Apparently it requires prepayment (I did enter my credit card when I booked). They even called to confirm during which time they offered two menu options with two prices, I mentioned my confusion at the options and discussed how the chefs table had only 1 price option. At that point I had booked the table, now I believed it was confirmed due to that call. We do get a visit (1 minute to placate me) to the kitchen and I wasn't at all surprised to see a full table of 8 dining at the kitchen table, at least I know why we were bumped Clearly 8 spend more than 4. To add insult to injury they called me to try again to convince me it was my mistake. Oh and offer me a bottle of champagne on my next trip in. Hello I live in the US!!! I will not be back there to eat again

A great overall experience. The restaurant only has a few tables so the overall service was great as a result!

As an avid Gordon Ramsay fan, I simply had to try one of his restaurants while my wife and I were in London. Without a doubt, the experience was unforgettable and absolutely up to expectations. From the moment we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted with exquisite service and a prime, front row table overlooking the beautiful wine cellar.

My wife and I ordered the tasting menu, although our choices differed insofar as she ordered the cheese optional extra and I ordered the wine pairing. Each course was memorable, perfectly executed, and delicious. Our undeniable favorites were the mushroom soup, the duck plate, the fantastic crackers and cheese, and the poached egg with pork. The wine pairings were all excellent as well, and interestingly, the Old Fashioned I ordered at Petrus was nearly on par with that at The Connaught (rated world's best bar).

The only negative remark that my wife or I could utter was that the menu played it safe. Each dish constituted excellently-executed French cuisine, but clearly was prepared in a way to achieve Michelin stars rather than truly bend the rules or break traditional cuisine barriers. Well that may be nitpicking, with some of the other Michelin starred restaurants in town, including Gymkhana, achieve similar accolades and take greater risks.

All in all, a must try.
