Clos Maggiore

Clos Maggiore is magical. The decor and ambiance needs to be experienced to fully appreciate what it feels like to dine in a restaurant that `gets it right'. And Clos Maggiore does!

From the moment that you cross their threshold you will find that you are treated as a valued guest. The staff are obviously trained to a high standard and know just what they need to do to ensure that your visit is all that you would wish it to be. The menu offers a tantalising choice - so wide and varied that the biggest challenge is choosing your choice of meal within a reasonable amount of time. But the staff understand this. You will be served firstly with your choice of pre-dinner drink whilst you attempt to make up your mind as to what to order. You will be advised (if that is what you want to be) by informed and genuinely interested staff.

Clos Maggiore is the ideal venue for: a romantic evening, a business dinner (just lisen to the conversations around you - they could result in you changing your investments) or a'girly night out'. Whatever the reason for you being there, you will have made the right choice. Clos Maggiore continues to twinkle and I don't just mean the romantic ceiling lights.

Went to Clos Maggiore for my birthday. From the moment we arrived til we left it was truly a very special evening. The staff where attentive without being overbearing, they seems to be there right when you need them and seem to have a sixth sense when you want some privacy. And the venue is absolutely stunning!

The food was nothing short of amazing (especially the wild mushroom open lasagna) and a wine list to make the biggest wine buff happy (a heavy ring binder displaying nearly 100 pages of wines), though as myself and my partner, while appreciate wine, know nothing about it and opted to have a glass of the recommended wines with our respective meals, which proved a much better idea since we got to try and variety of wines with different courses.

Went to Clos Maggiore in celebration of an anniversary tonight. Despite it being a Sunday evening, the restaurant was full, and the staff fully attuned. The food was faultless, no attempt was made by the excellent waiting staff to cajole us into ordering anything more than we wanted, and the sommelier knows his staff. A memorable evening for the couple, who have vowed to return when they are next on these shores.

It was my mum's 50th birthday and I wanted to treat my family of 4 to a meal in a really special restaurant. We were treated so well from the moment we stepped into the restaurant and made to feel very comfortable and relaxed (my family were a little nervous, as they're not used to such grand places!). The food was wonderful. My dad is vegetarian and often has to watch us tuck to a flavoursome treat whilst he has to makedo with boring risotto or dried out old goatscheese, but he actually remarked that this was probably the best meal he'd ever had! The winelist was fantastic and provided some entertainment, especially the Rothschild £3900 bottle! (we went for a very palatable £50 merlot) Overall it was a wonderful evening, and I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone who fancies treating themselves.

I went for the first time to Clos Maggiore one week ago. I haven't been disappointed. This restaurant is very nice and the food was excellent.

The waiters (all french) know their stuff and the duck meal that was recommended by one of them was really delicious. The wine card is also very impressive.

The prices are ok considering the qualiy of the food.

A very good address I would recommend to anyone who enjoys good food.

Consistently excellent restaurant. I have now been three or four times, and never cease to be impressed by the professionalism of the staff and the quality of the food and wine. Most recently I went on a Sunday evening, and there was a menu prix fixe at £19.50 - an absolute bargain, particularly when in the past I have eaten a la carte at £140 for two! Worth every penny, though, particularly if you are seated in the conservatory.

Fabulous restaurant, easy to find. Small room tables probably a bit close but great to see what others were eating. Staff competent and pleasant. Food delicious but very nouvelle cuisine. Ideal for small family get together to celebrate something special. We managed to find a wine amongst the 70 odd wine pages at 18.00 pounds which was excellent.

We had a business group booking of 25 for dinner in the private dining room. I couldn't be more impressed, the service before the event was great, good advice was given and nothing was too much trouble - even down to personalised menu's.

Food on the evening itself was superb, service was discreet and professional & the atmosphere was relaxed. Couldn't fault a thing.

I went to Maggiore’s last night for my mom’s 60th having spent other special occasions there that were just perfect. When a place has become a benchmark of excellence it is sometimes easy to come away disappointed but Maggiore’s never lets you down. Last night we had the tasting menu which was out of this world and great value for money. The waiting staff, as ever, are impeccable and seem to have a sixth sense for perfect intervals between courses and how to be available without being invasive. The Maitre D’ did a wonderful job of hiding a pendant for my mother in her dessert and producing it with suitable aplomb. The wine list, it goes without saying, is like being a child in a sweet shop. Book well in advance and ask for a table in the conservatory for one of the finest, intimate dining experiences in London.

I have eaten here twice now (over 2 years) and will be booking again to eat here soon for my sister's forthcoming birthday. For me it really is somewhere I like to take people for special ocassions as it is a lovely restaurant which serves incredible food. The service I received on both ocassions was impeccable. On my second visit I asked for us to be sat in the conservatory and whilst they could not promise anything at the time of booking (as I had booked for a large group) we were indeed given a table in the conservatory. The waiters and waitresses were nothing but polite and helpful and they really put us all at ease (if I am honest I cannot afford to eat at such lovely restaurants regularly!) and we all enjoyed the experience of eating there. The food was 1st class as was the wine (the wine list is incredible to see in itself!) and I would thoroughly recommend taking your friends and family here for a special meal. It has always gone down well for me! The decor is beautiful (as I said I prefer sitting in the conservatory where the blossom from the tree is) and you are not rushed; you are made to feel very welcome. Thank you to the staff there!
