Visiting the Orrery was a once in a lifetime experience (for myself and my partner), and it took a discount voucher on top of another offer so that we could afford it!
The staff are excellent. From when we arrived to when we left, they could not have been more attentive and informative and worked hard to make it a special occasion.
We had the five course taster menu, and when they realised it was through a voucher the menu was taken from us to be replaced by an A5 piece of paper with the menu on which actually had the name of the discount voucher on it. "Hey everyone, look at us, we've not got the big menu. We have a piece of paper because we are not paying full price."
Of the five courses, only the dessert stands out - elderflower pannacota with strawberry jelly, a real treat. The slithers of cheese with minute crackers were excellent.
The beef should have been the highlight but unfortunately failed to live up to expectation.
We enjoyed and appreciated the commentary given with each wine course. Again, we can not fault the staff.
The techniques on each course demonstrated the skills of the chef. Unfortunately, the flavours did not match the obvious talent.
It may have been that our expectations were too high. Other guests were certainly enjoying their meals.

I was told by clients that The Orrery was a must visit. After having dinner here the other night I can see why the advice I should check it out myself.
Everything from the layout of the restaurant to the great staff made for a pleasant evening.
The food of course was great and it's a place I will come back no doubt in the future.

Orrery, one of the best restaurants in London for service, made everything right after a terrible experience I had before arriving there, especially on my birthday. Upon entering Orrery, all my worries and concerns were instantly put to rest. From start to finish, their attentive consideration and care for details made me feel extremely at ease. Even when I wanted to pour myself a glass of water, the staff couldn't bear to see such a scene, as they were willing to provide all the assistance within their capabilities. Their service moved me deeply and completely healed my frustrated soul. I must admit that the extra touch of their birthday wishes at the end was a huge plus.

Orrery is the epitome of French culinary brilliance in the heart of London. Each dish is a symphony of flavors, a testament to the mastery of the Ukrainian chef who expertly weaves magic on the plate. Beyond the food, what makes Orrery a standout is the warmth radiating from every corner of the establishment. The sommelier, in particular, is a beacon of affability and knowledge, effortlessly enhancing the dining experience. If you're on the hunt for the finest French fare in London, Orrery is an unmissable destination.

The food was Amazing the service from the staff was 5*****, I eat in a lot of high end restaurants and have to say this is in my top two. There was nothing other than excellence throughout our time while eating and drinking. The wines were fantastic including the desserts wine which was amazing. 5***** throughout.

Beautiful setting, good service and variety of menus to choose from. All the dishes we had were nice except the turbot was under seasoned and tasted sweet with the pear. It’s a bit of a shame because the fish itself was cooked perfectly. Plenty of drinks to choose from and the desserts were all nicely presented. Would definitely go back again!

I was recommended this place via the Michelin guide and the experience itself was pretty good. I think the overall experience would definitely improve if the weather was better as it was 30°C and there was no air conditioning at all. We were seated upstairs and we thought it would be cooler but we were incubating in the sun the whole meal.
We all got a 2 course meal with 2 sides. In the attached pictures you'll see that we picked the starters, soya marinated salmon, chicken parfait, and lobster raviolo. For the mains we picked, chicken breast, salmon fillet, and the beef wellington. The starters all had a pretty strong salty taste to them that we might not be that used to but the mains were absolutely delicious. We had a bad experience with the lobster raviolo as we found multiple shell pieces. The chicken breast was tender and nicely cooked, the salmon was juicy and the puree complimented it well, the beef wellington honestly had such good flavor just by itself without the puree but with it added it was phenomenal.
Another thing we noticed is that the menu shown online is actually different from the menu that we saw in the restaurant so the online version will probably need an update so people can look ahead into what they can order.

Orrery, as the name suggests, simply put, is out of this world! From the moment you walk through the door, its calm, simple ambiance and friendly, competent staff come in to play, to compliment the overall experience of dining there.
The beautifully presented food, does well to tease the eye, before the magically conjoured taste sensations wow the palate! Orrery's wine list is both extensive and reasonabley priced and their young sommelier certainly knows his stuff! Ours was a wine club luncheon and his vaste knowledge impressed even our most discerning members. The level of service to our large table of twelve, was superb. We had a set menu, with three shoices of starter, main and dessert.
We'll definitely be back before the sun does another orbit round the earth!
Thank you Orrery!

Delightful place for a spot of food in Marylebone.
The venue is beautiful with indoor and outdoor seating and staff friendly.
Only criticism is value for money for equivalent restaurants in the area. The prices are Michelin starred however they aren't there yet with the food.

had a very nice experience here! the atmosphere is very comfortable and the service is very good! my favourite was the dessert - the cake was so soft and moist and it accompanied with the zesty ice cream was perfect! would come again!

Excellent food and Gallic service. There was an attempt at the table to flog us another bottle of wine, which was a bit of a cheek. However. not over priced and good food. Roof terrace was where I was and so can't comment on the 1st floor. No lift access to upper reaches, which wasn't great for one of my friends. Not for children IMHO
Alison Reeson
We had a simply amazing time at The Orrery. The staff were friendly and attentive - the food was outstanding as were the wine choices. Could not fault it. Thank you!

Smart restaurant with great lunch menu and good service. Our party included two young children, and the staff were very accommodating, making it an enjoyable experience. Food is tasty and well presented. Highly recommended.
Lester Kan
Food is really good. 3 course meal at £60. Wide range of choice on wine list. Service is ok. You can have a drink before meal at the bar.
Nicely decorated restaurant with non-pretentious service.
Food 9/10, service 8/10, ambience 9/10, value for money 8/10. Excellent French restaurant.
Geoffrey Swinney
Truely lovely experience with fantastic food and service, with dinner starting at two courses £55 and three at £66 it’s not cheap, but loved the amuse bouche and fresh bread to start (included in price). Great for special occasions.
Anna Schmidt
Excellent, exquisite food for lunch from the set menu. I had the lobster ravioli which was a gorgeously packed single but large ravioli packed with rich lobster in amazing bisque followed by the partridge equally divine and perfectly cooked. The passion fruit panna cotta was truly stunning and beautifully flavoured contrasting with the sharpness of the ice cream accompaniment. The place is lovely; newly refurbished and just what you want from a very special dining experience. Elegant. Amazing very well balanced service. We were late to our table which they had kept for us and we lingered far too long into the afternoon and the staff were very patient while they set up for the evening. Liked it very much. Thank you

We've been going to Tbe Orrery for over a decade now. The food is wonderful, the staff amazing and the atmosphere gets better with every visit. Can't recommend it enough. Try a vodka martini with Snow Queen vodka on the terrace as a pre-dinner drink, and always order the Tournedos Rossini. Signature dish, not to be missed!!!

Three course A La Carte was £60. Then supplements are added for Crab for instance. I kind of don't expect supplements to be added when each course is £20 already. Combined with Haute Cuisine servings, the lions share of the total meal cost went on wine. This place makes a fortune from their Coravin wine service. £65 for a small *glass* of Saint Emilion for instance.
For a D and D restaurant, I much prefer their other choices.
Pros: Wine list. Service Cons: Price. Décor.
I've eaten better food. My bank manager is worried I'll eat here again soon. Almost £400 for only 2 ALC and three glasses of Coravin wine, pre dinner cocktails, dessert wine and 1 coffee.
Cyril Deretz
Service was very good, food is excellent. They catered for my wife who is vegan, even thought there was no vegan dish on the menu. Unfortunately on that day, they told us that they were short one staff, which made the service a little slow, thus the 4 stars only.
Karen Sorensen
We only had the Evening Standard menu but the food was delicious and the staff could not have been more attentive. Definitely one for another visit.
Sarah Leadbetter
The service was outstanding, my friends and I were made to feel like royalty by all the staff.
The food was exquisite & we thoroughly enjoyed the champagne too!
I highly recommend this superb restaurant to anyone visiting London if you want class, quality and an enjoyable experience.

Toni Clark
The Orrery never disappoints - as always wonderful food, wine and service - not to forget the fab Orrery classic champagne cocktail - the perfect way to catch up with friends on a Sunday afternoon. A first time for my friends - they'll be back too! :-)
Katie Osiadacz
A very friendly place, excellent food, and wonderful service. I'll definitely come back to sample some more of the wonderful food on offer.
Irene Napier
Beautiful meal fabulous service gorgeous restaurant.
Martina Tenz
Great flavours, great service, awesome terrace. I have never seen and tasted a butter like this, rich & melt-in-your-mouth, great texture and glossiness. The quail with grape, shallots and wild mushroom has something fabulous in it. Main courses very generously portioned. The orange ice cream on the chocolate mousse is simply divine. Waiters very attentive and kind. Deserve definitely a Michelin Star. Will be back soon!
