Went for my 50th birthday today...a lovely lunch, couldn't fault it. I had the salmon for starters, the lamb for the main dish then the profiteroles for dessert. We had a glass of wine and complimentary tea or coffee, all for £28. Beautifully presented, excellent service and friendly staff/ The bread basket was lovely too! Three different types and they overheard me talking about me having to try gluten free bread and asked me if I would like some so brought some over specially. I also was treated to a platter of cakes and fruit on the house for my birthday and they even sang to me! A fabulous place, superb food, excellent service and acceptable prices. We shall definitely go again! I can highly recommend it !
We went for my best friend's birthday and we had the champagne bottomless brunch for 2. The waiting staff were attentive without being overbearing, the food was delicious and the champagne was flowing, highly recommend.
I took my friends Heather there who came to visit me from the US. It was simply amazing- really friendly staff and were taken care of well. They checked in with us a number of times and tea and water was refilled every time they walked past. I don't eat pork and when the food was brought out, they told us they made a vegetarian plate with no meat on it which was just great and thought off. Our favourites (the chocolate scones and the strawberry tart) were refilled with second rounds really quick as well. The atmosphere is great, very peaceful and lovely to spend an afternoon catching up and sipping tea! I highly recommend going here for a chilled and tasteful afternoon out!
We had afternoon tea there and it was amazing. We had lots of allergies and the chef was so accommodating and created alternatives to ensure our experience was not lessened.
The staff were friendly, accommodating and we didn’t feel rushed whilst we enjoyed an afternoon celebrating a friend’s birthday.
Highly recommend.
I went there on a girls night out a few weeks ago and thought that the food was amazing. The lobster croquettes and passion fruit creme brûlée were the best I have ever had so much so that I took my family there yesterday to sample the amazing food. They cater for children too with an extensive children's menu. The staff are all very polite and helpful. We can't wait to go back again.
Stunning restaurant, delicious food and fabulous atmosphere. Other restaurants should send staff here for customer service training, please give our thanks to the staff, they were amazing. Will definitely be back.
I had dinner with you on Thursday night- I’m now back in Australia unable to get the experience out of my mind- it was incredible! Amazing food, staff, ambience, location. Thank you for making our final night in London memorable.
The best service I have had in a very long time and I am very difficult knowing that I have hospitality management background. They are so welcoming and have the right amount of attention and they are professional and... They have more qualities that my vocabulary could handle... The French lady who welcomed us and sat us was a charm! I am planning on organising a private team diner there but unfortunately I forgot to ask to visit the private dining room. I want to experience the restaurant day-time to see how the sun light penetrates these giant Windows!
Amazing afternoon tea . The staff were so friendly and attentive will definitely be going back . Tea sandwiches cakes and scones were delicious. One of the best afternoon teas I have been to . Thank you to all at The Balcon
An excellent place to have a meal. Great atmosphere . Friendly and efficient staff. Great food. Will most certainly go back and will highly recommend it to my friends
Amazing restuarant definitely worth a visit. Food, staff and atmosphere was spot on and a good price. Worth a look. Alex the waiter was brilliant and made the evening even better
We were taken away just by the grandness of the entrance… was overwhelmed by the decor inside … couldn’t stop taking pics
the waiters were attentive & overly friendly throughout… they surprised me with a delicious selection of cakes with a lit candle … that made my day
Was a topnotch evening … a delicious birthday dinner to remember … thank u (15.5.18)
Superb food, amazing building and the service was impeccable, cannot recommend it enough and as for the wine simply moreish!!!!
Great spot for Sunday brunch from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Good food and free-flowing Champagne and Bloody Mary's.
Went for our anniversary here recently. Loved the food, desserts and cocktails that we ordered. This french beauty took us back to the food in Paris with its complex flavour profiles and perfectly cooked food. The desserts topped the cherry on the cake by its stunning uniqueness in marrying flavours together. The chocolate and ginger soufflé tart is a must try. A unique experience overall.
What a brilliant place to celebrate in last night, fantastic place
Went for afternoon tea with friends and ended up having free flowing bubbles as well, the food, the ambience and service was delightful and outstanding. We will definitely return.
Amazing lunch. It was pretty much perfect. The venison main is one of the best dinners I have ever had.
We had Vicky serving us and she was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. She really helped make our experience memorable. Thank you Vicky!
Wild Honey at St James is a perfect place for a special evening (our occasion was celebrating getting married, which was very kindly picked up by the team and we were surprised by a lovely plate of petit fours!)
The atmosphere is excellent, and all of the staff, but especially Vicki made our evening, she was very thoughtful and really made us feel special. We came for the early sitting with a 3-course dinner, which was impeccable! The lamb shoulder especially, but the mackerel broth was brilliant too.
I for one can’t wait to come back for the next anniversary!
Amazing working lunch three course.
Had lunch here with two friends, the day before the coronation.
Beautiful interior. Can be nice seating in circular tables but less so in tables for two as too close to the next table.
The Christy ox tongue was amazing- huge portion.
The rabbit was Beautiful-
Almost like organic chicken, beautiful sauce: quite a heavy dish.
The floating island amazing- light with vanilla sauce.
Service was attentive and effective.
Will be back soon-
Perhaps when the menu changes.
£70 for 3 course meal at a Michelin star restaurant alone bumped it up to 4 star. Very good attentive knowledgeable staff and good creative technique especially with the rabbit dish !!!
Our meal here was more of 3.5/5 but I can't give that star rating on here.
I say that because although the food and service was both good, it did really lack something. No atmosphere, it didn't give me anything to want to tell people about or have to return at some point in the future.
But as I say, if you are dining here then the staff are great and the food is nice so you won't have a bad meal. Just don't come for a special occasion.
The food was exquisitely prepared and delicious. One of our favorite Michelin dinners in London. (Note that this is a hotel restaurant so a number of reviews are actually about their brunch or lunch, which I imagine is very different than a tasting menu dinner.)
Thank you so much for the marvelous hospitality, exemplary service, and outstanding kindness you showed to me and my wife on our recent visit to London. The pleasure of meeting a passionate chef with such great respect for his ingredients, creativity, and understanding of how food is presented and composed is humbling. Your ability to use all of each ingredient completely in your dish without wasting any aspect of it was amazing. While we believed our meal with you was the best we had during our three week journey through Great Britain visiting five other Michelin star chefs, it is more than that because of your gracious hospitality and friendliness. The feeling of being comfortable in your restaurant is immeasurable. Thank you for an experience which we will treasure and a forever memory. We are grateful.
We dined at Wild Honey before seeing a West End show, it was the perfect location for a preshow meal.
Our service was excellent and we both had the prefixed early dinner menu. The portions were filling and the section was nice since my husband prefers meat and I lean more towards veggies and there was something for both of us.
You get the Michelin Star quality food without all the faff of fine dinning.
Welcoming and gentle staff. Nice atmosphere. The food was alright but not outstanding. We enjoyed some flavours, but the dishes lacked that wow factor that you can experience in Michelin Star. It's definitely a good meal and has potential in the ideas. Delicious honeycomb dessert.
Special thanks to Louis and Marina.

Nestled within the Sofitel London St James Hotel, Wild Honey presents an atmosphere of grandeur combined with comfort and has the honour of boasting a MICHELIN Star. Chef Anthony Demetre focuses on flavour rather than pretentious presentation, complementing the overall vibe of the restaurant beautifully. However, there was some inconsistency with certain dishes meeting the MICHELIN Star standard while others fell somewhat short. The service, while gracious and courteous, was slow as we found ourselves spending three hours on a three-course meal. Despite this, portion sizes were impressively generous for a Michelin-starred restaurant, making sure you feel satiated between each course.
Tip: Make your booking through The Fork to get a complimentary alcoholic drink (Negroni or champagne) with your £79 3 course set menu!
Our meal started with an array of three amuse-bouche. The aubergine tart and lightly grilled cheese cube stood out, but the third was reminiscent of a McDonald’s Filet o Fish, which was less impressive.
The Dorset Crab appetiser provided a tropical twist to the traditional seafood dish by adding Alphonso mango to chawanmushi of the brown crab. While a bit of fusion confusion, the flavours were delightful and there was an ample amount of white claw meat. The accompanying crab pate toast sandwich was a hit!
The Isle of Orkney Hand Dived Scallop was succulent and perfectly seared. Coupled with spring peas, broad beans, and miso sabayon, this dish offered a satisfying blend of texture and flavour.
Slow-Cooked Veal Shin was served in an unconventional manner but the veal shin itself was spectacularly juicy, tender, and packed with savoury flavours. Served with a smooth, velvety sauce, this dish proved to be a delightful sensory experience.
The Denbighshire Rack of Lamb was tender and lightly flavourful without an overpowering gamey taste. However, it could have used better temperature control and a richer flavour profile.
The Classic Crisp Choux Bun was pleasant, but not particularly outstanding. However, the Wild Honey Ice Cream was the grand finale, featuring Bermondsey honey taken straight from the raw honeycomb wall and served with warm honey alongside the softest and fluffiest lemon madeleine. This dessert rounded off the meal perfectly.

My Wife and I had a lovely evening at Wild Honey. The food was amazing - complement to the chef and the team in the kitchen - and just as important as the food in order to have a good time in a Restaurant is the service. Here Vicky and her colleagues did a wonderful job and ensured us an evening to remember. We will come back!
I had a lovely meal with my boyfriend at Wild Honey. The staff were fantastic, really attentive and friendly. Vicky was a superb waitress. She made us feel special and made a huge effort to look after us. The food was amazing, I’d highly recommend the rabbit. Thank you for the great evening Wild Honey
Came here for my beautiful cousin's wedding. Absolutely lovely establishment, lovely staff who made us feel very welcome, food was amazing and overall an amazing day.
Great early supper menu in terms of value. Food is good, though lacking creativity in terms of taste while having in mind it is a Michelin Star restaurant.
Went with my wife and my mother for the pre-theatre dinner menu.
Food was excellent, particularly the cornish cod.
We also ordered a bottle of white wine which was at just the perfect temperature.
Services was friendly and attentive.
Atmosphere was ellegant yet relaxed. Given the hour it was a bit empty but we had a great time.
Would recommend a try given the great value for money.
Glorious! I was very fortunate that the team made room for my family and friends.
The food was delicious, the wine was superb and the service was exceptional.
I was fortunate to speak with Chef Anthony Demetre, and it is clear his passion and warm welcoming attitude flows through the team. There is a clear spirit of - what can we do to make our guests happy, rather than making them conform to the restaurant.
I have only received service like I experienced tonight at restaurants where I am a regular.
Big thank you to the team.
I had my birthday celebration here at Wild Honey. It was my third visit to this restaurant.
We decided to order many different dishes and share everything instead of having tasting menu. It worked perfect, the size of each dish is not small, especially the steak for sharing. The wine is lovely too. The service is professional. If you want to bring your own birthday cake, they will charge£10 per head extra，however，I got a piece of chocolate birthday cake from the restaurant for free.
