I had booked the Angler for myself and my wife for our anniversary. We both had the tasting menu, and the chef modified the relevant dishes to suit my pescetarian diet. I was actually treated to the head chefs specialty cod dish which was absolutely amazing. Super helpful and friendly staff, amazing setting, and incredible food. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a special culinary experience in London.

The set lunch menu felt very good value for a Michelin restaurant. Beautifully prepared and enough courses to feel comfortably full. The staff were all very welcoming and extremely professional but not intimidating. The attention to detail was also very good.

Poor service; we were seated and then ignored - took ages just to get a drink; then had to ask for the wine list. First of all courses came too quickly and before our drinks arrived, so we felt rushed, then long waits between courses; forgotten by sommelier and had to fill our own wine glasses, which is not something you expect in a Michelin starred restaurant. The cod smelled very fishy which generally means it wasn't as fresh as it could have been. Not the standard we had been expecting especially compared to other restaurants we have been to.
Angler - LondonResponded 4 days ago
Dear Mary1958, Thank you so much for your feedback and for visiting our restaurant. I want to apologize that you did not enjoy your experience. The team and I are very disappointed that we did not deliver the standard Angler service and can assure you the above points will be reiterated to our team to ensure that this does not reoccur. I also want to assure you that all of our fish comes in fresh every day and served on the day. We would be grateful to have the opportunity to make this up to you and invite you back to the restaurant so you can enjoy a true Angler experience. Please reach out to the restaurant directly so I can arrange this for you and discuss your concern further. All my best, George McGettigan Director of Food and Beverage

Excellent food and service. That said, 15% service charge (also applied to already expensive wine) is over the top in my opinion.

This was our second visit to Angler, the first being immediately before lockdown when the circumstances were a little bit unreal. We had the tasting menu, and whilst we were worried about the cost we decided that the best is worth paying for and it was just that. The flavours and the tastes were indescribable with Caroline claiming that each course was her favourite in Portuguese to our waiter who came from that country but still spoke perfect English so that I didn't feel left out. A fantastic evening

Food and wine pairings were outstanding. Although the staff were helpful and polite (the sommelier especially was great), the overall experience was let down a bit by the service - felt quite understaffed, particularly at the beginning of the evening when we were waiting for a considerable amount of time for our initial drinks to arrive (the appetisers arrived before our drinks). Other small things like the wine glasses all having lint/dust on the outside of the glass, presumably from being polished with an overly damp cloth. Ambience was fair - didn’t feel like a particularly intimate dining room. We were initially sat at a table closest to the entrance which was less than ideal as it was a main thoroughfare for waiters, and for guests arriving/leaving with the elevators dinging regularly. Our second table was an improvement, but they really need to get soft-close wine fridges.. the regular banging of the fridge doors was a bit disruptive to the experience. Overall an enjoyable evening, but didn’t feel up to the standard of other Michelin-level restaurants.

Wonderful food, beautifully served. My only complaint and one which did not permit me to award 'Outstanding' at the beginning of the survey, concerned the excessive exposure to heat and to sunlight, despite there being mechanical shades. The staff either wouldn't or couldn't lower them for us. As a result, we were uncomfortably hot and/or dazzled for much of our meal. I would need reassurance on this point before contemplating a further visit.

We have eaten here many times and it has always been good. This time it was appalling. Service was bordering on rude. Food over seasoned and strong sauces overwhelmed the excellent fresh seafood. Bread plates not cleared and crumbs left all over the table throughout. Glasses left empty / unfilled for up to 15 minutes. No apology, just an excuse. Very grudging and unfriendly agreement to adapt dishes to gluten free, for our guest, which made the whole experience hard work. Will not be returning.

I don’t understand how they got a Michelin star. Food: There was nothing extraordinary with the food. The flavors are common and did not surprise me at all. It gave me nostalgia about foods I used to it growing up but that’s it. The appetizers and desserts were better than the mains. The seafood/fish were not exemplary at all. Some of the sauces overpowered the fish instead of complimenting them. Service: Mediocre service. Was trying to make a conversation with the server but he did not seem to care at all. They were not even busy given very minimal guests that night. There were probably 3-4 of them serving everyone. On my reservation and while dining, we told them it was my birthday. Nothing special was done except a happy birthday note on a chocolate slab which is part of the dessert. Not even a sign of geniune excitement or care. Ambience: Setting looks like a typical hotel restaurant. We went on a Friday expecting that it will be packed. To our surprise, there were very few of us and a lot of vacant tables. This alone speaks volumes.

Not convinced this restaurant will retain its star. Some courses were lovely, but others were a bit bland. The service was hit and miss. We were one of the first tables sat, but one of the last to leave as other tables got each course before us. We are not sure why. Pretty sure they forgot about us for the Chicken dish as there was a huge wait between the previous course and that one (45 mins or so). They have fancy tap water bottles that they don't want to leave on the table, and small water glasses. They do not refill them regularly, although they do top up your wine very regularly - likely as they make money from that.

We took the tasting menu and the food was fabulous. A very well balanced and executed menu which represented fair value for money. Although it was a fairly quiet Saturday lunch we enjoyed our surroundings very much. Service was very friendly and easy-going. Verging on the slightly too long between courses as it looked like they were catching up a nearby table to us, but it was fine as we were there for a leisurely lunch. My only negative observation is that even by fine dining standards, drinks were at the very top end of pricing - £20 for a cocktail or a glass of champagne. Sub £50 bottles of wine were few and far between.
