Denise's review of Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley

My husband & I are fortunate that we have been able to eat at some of the best restaurants and our visit to Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley pretty much tops it. I have rated the service as 10 as we commented on the night how spot on it was compared to somewhere like Claridges. At Claridges we seemed to have been interrupted every 5 minutes for things like topping up water, whilst at Marcus Wareing they realised that we were deep in conversation and just left us to get on with it. Its all about knowing your client – some people want the fuss and attention whilst others want to dine low key (we were in the latter, even though we were celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary).

We've actually been there before under the Petrus umbrella (we got engaged that night), but think it is much improved (and it wasn’t bad then) with the Gordon Ramsay shackles removed!

It is expensive (hence why value for money is a 9), however if you have something to celebrate or are just rich then go for it – you wont regret it. I have also marked atmosphere as a 9, as it is a quiet restaurant (mainly couples) but we managed to have a crowd of people in the seated area behind our table. They weren’t loud, but just loud for the restaurant – hence we couldn’t hear each other until they were moved to their table.

Finally, the food. Fantastic – enough said!
