My wife and I had a wonderful dinner here on a Friday evening. It was the five course tasting menu with wine/drink pairing, and probably should add it was using a Virgin Experiences voucher. The food was absolutely delicious, particularly the pork belly main, which I have to say was one of the tastiest dishes I have had. Service was good, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was fine, though being in a hotel dining room it maybe didn't match the food and service, but was still very pleasant. Would thoroughly recommend.
The five course taste menu was delightful and all dishes were good. Service from our waiter Marcos was fantastic and a highlight. Overall the restaurant is good and worth the experience.
We had a lovely birthday dinner at the 116 restaurant in the Athenaeum Hotel. Our waiter Matt was a superb host both witty and full of energy. He made you feel at home and made it a very enjoyable experience. We had the 5 course tasting menu with Preseco.
We had an incredible five course tasting menu with wine paring the food was so good I would highly recommend giving it a try it was so good I forgot to take photos of the lamb and the cheese dishes
I hadn't heard of the Athenaeum before let alone eat there and having read the reviews before visiting was expecting a pleasant, but not extraordinary, dinner. In fact the food was fantastic. We had the tasting menu which was really delicious and beautifully presented.
Although the main course was small, in totality I had plenty to eat.
Surprisingly they offer wine in 500ml carafe which is perfect if you don't drink too much.
The restaurant had a lovely ambience and the staff were extremely attentive, especially Claudia.
Service is marvelous as well as the portions which were huge. Sadly I could not finish. Prices are reasonable for a place like that. Foos was delicious. Staff is so friendly, did not expect that much of a heartwarming service.
We were given a voucher for 3 course set meal with prosecco and used it for our wedding anniversary. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and sensible size portions. The staff were really friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxed but classy and it felt a world away from the hustle and bustle outside.
Would definitely revisit.
Very tasty food, extremely friendly and personable staff. We had the Beef and the Monkfish, both delicious (monkfish maybe a little too salty) and got the Cauliflower soup and breads to start - the soup was hands down the winner on the day. And got a little cake from the staff for K’s birthday
Reasonably priced festive afternoon tea with well filled finger sandwiches, scones and aesthetically pleasing sweet treats. Relaxed ambience and quiet environment great for both a romantic time and any intimate gathering between close friends. Service was just fine. Requested a celebration plate but unfortunately weren't offered any.
I came here for a mid-week evening meal with my team and the restaurant were very accommodating for us. There were 10 of us and the chef was able to cater for any type of allergy or food intolerance within our group. We had the 6 course tasting menu which was excellent value for menu (£45 for the meat option or £40 for the vegetarian option) and the food was outstanding. The beef main course was very tender and the best dish of the menu. We did not opt for the wine pairing and instead chose individual bottles of wine for the table. Most wines were quite pricey compared to the food but we were impressed with the quality of wine that we chose. The timings between each dish was a little on the slow side where it took about 3 hours for us to finish our meal but we were not rushed or pressured to leave our table at any time. Overall, I was very impressed with this restaurant and would recommend it to others.
