I was initially apprehensive about this restaurant after being invited by friends for dinner. My preference is for plain food and having looked at the menu online I wasn’t sure it would suit me. How wrong I was! I have to say this was one of the best meals I have had. Everything about the evening from the exquisite food, the impeccable service and the ambience in the bar before dinner was just perfect. I cannot rave about this enough and I’m already looking forward to a return visit .
It really doesn’t get much better than Ormer. Start with a glass of champagne and be pampered during your entire dinner. For my entree, I opted for the lobster served under a glass of oak smoke, ever so delicately flavoring the dish. Perfectly prepared, and I do believe the best I’ve had.
While the menu is heavy with seafood, I understand you can also request vegetarian and vegan options.
What a hidden gem ! I happened upon this restaurant when I was looking for a last minute restaurant around Mayfair. The food is absolutely exceptional and the service is just as good. I had the lobster raviolo followed by the seabass - both were delicately prepared and bursting with flavour. This was paired with a lovely assyrtiko from Santorini and followed by a fantastic apple crumble which was just rightly balanced in terms of taste (not too sweet) and perfectly paired with an Uraguayan dessert red. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and I do hope they will be able to successfully capture the elusive star this year. Definitely one of the best spots I have been to in these past two years.
It was the most lovely experience. If you want a fine dining experience with a really comfortable relaxed, yet still very grand surroundings - you must come here. It was a truly remarkable evening.
The dishes were something we’d never tasted. It was the first time we’d left a tasting menu feeling comfortable but fully content and well fed. The dishes just keep coming. There are plenty of fish dishes which keeps it light and you feeling good. It was unlike any tasting menu we’ve ever had.
The service was superb. We were wonderfully looked after. Our sommelier had great suggestions. A five star experience.
had a wonderful date night at Ormer Mayfair. Went for the full tasting menu which had a few courses that were recently replaced. All the courses were excellent, no exception. Well executed, harmonious, wonderfully presented dishes, some quite original. The service was great - attentive, well paced and friendly. The design of the place felt a bit old, and the music volume was very low to the point you can hardly here it with chatter from the other tables becoming more prominent. The music itself that was playing wasn't really around a different theme or genre. The speakers also sounded a bit flat. This should be improved. Other than that, a really exceptional dinner. Highly recommended.
Excellent service and great tasting menu. We went on a weekday and it was very quiet but the service was excellent throughout.
My wife and I went here for my birthday and had the 6 course tasting menu. Every course was superb and the service was attentive and friendly throughout. Highly recommended
This place is simply divine. The scallop for starter, the plaice, the pork belly for mains, the guava sorbet, the chocolate brownie for dessert are all impeccable. If the bread and butter were warm, then it would be absolutely perfect experience. Also, the service was really nice and friendly, and atmosphere was really casual and enjoyable. We had a 3 course meal with a glass of champagne for £37.5 . Definitely will come back for more surprise and recommend to friends who enjoy great food.
My husband and I went twice for our birthdays to Ormer. It was an unforgettable experience. The food is outstanding and better than some food served in Michelin stars. The service was excellent: Matteo was our waiter, he was very professional, kind and very knowledgeable. Speaking to him was a real pleasure. The manager Lorenzo and the sommelier Josè were awesome to. We will come back soon! Thanks!
This place is 'something else'. Not cheap at all but worth every penny. No a la carte, only tasting menus: including vegetarian. They do 'wine pairings' but the very knowledgeable sommelier, Fabio, will guide you to some great wines by the glass if you give him some idea of what you want. Quite quiet with a limited number of tables but that's no bad thing sometimes. Service informed and spot on. Special occasion - give it a try (we've been twice and have every intention of going again). In Flemings Hotel in Half Moon Street, Mayfair.
We celebrated my partner's birthday at Ormer and we loved the experience. The place is beautifully decorated, the atmosphere a retro vibe from the 40s, with lighting and decoration carefully thought of and designed. We had a five course menu paired with wine, the food was excellent with a special mention for the mackerel and the lamb, exquisite flavours and textures made in heaven.
As for the wine pairing menu, the choices were clearly made to put all the lights on the food with a good balance of classics and less known wines. I really enjoyed it and on a next visit, I'd love to see some more bolder options. The portuguese vinho verde, from the Loureiro grape and the Pouilly-Fumé wouldbe great additions :-)
At last but certainly not the least, the service is exceptional. Friendly, very knowledgeable and attentive the team has my five 🌟
I visited Ormer Mayfair last week during a trip to London. I visited with my girlfriend and we both had the tasting menu and we opted to add the lobster as an additional course. And we both had the wine pairing to go with the tasting menu as well. We were welcomed by their staff and throughout the staff were perfect. And I would like to say our waiter, which was Dimitar, was amazing and friendly. Well worth trying if you are into tasting menus.
Absolutely fantastic dining experience. Very professional service throughout and greetings since we arrived at the venue. We had the three course festival menu and every dish was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Great value for money. Highly recommended.
