Orrery

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.

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

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.

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.

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, 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! Axxx
