Known forBeef WellingtonDressed crabOystersScallops
A grand, historic British fine-dining institution on the Strand with soaring ceilings, mahogany wood, and leather booths—the kind of place that feels like stepping into London's past. The roast beef carved tableside is the signature dish, though starters like oysters and scallops consistently impress; mains can be uneven (some report overcooked fish), so stick with the classics. Service is attentive and genuinely warm, but it's pricey and best reserved for special occasions rather than casual meals.
