Maze

My girlfriend and I had a birthday dinner last Saturday at Maze,and I must say we were "amazed" by the beautiful decor, the friendly staff and last but not least the succulent food we had. We went for the seven course chef's menu, had a glass of Champagne before, drank three lovely glasses of wine each and finished our divine meal with an espresso and a fine malt whisky. Not cheap at 235£ for two but well worth for the total experience. I must say, I am a big fan of Gordon Ramsay's and unfortunately I don't get the chance to eat in his beautiful restaurants that often, but this dinner at Maze was once again proof that he and his great staff really deliver on each occasion!

Had a fantastic lunch this weekend. We tried the 6 course set lunch menu. Every dish was delicious and we choose the wine flight, what a good idea!!! We spent nearly £100 each but had a few cocktails before lunch. The waiters were very nice, polite and helpful. I will definitely be back.

this was our third visit to maze and it gets better every time. favourites have to be the blt and the rice pudding dessert, pure heaven! lovely relaxed atmosphere, attentive staff explained the menu system again. mark was very welcoming and made our visit by giving us a tour of the new restaurant maze grill, the maze kitchen and introduced us to all the chefs. counting down to a 4th visit next year.

thanks to everyone at maze for making our visit special, and good luck with the opening of maze grill xxxx

Just got home from Maze and I have to say it has once again blown me away. The food was exquisite, I don't think you can find a better gastro experience in London. The menu/concept is great, the service is fantastic and why doesn't every restaurant do wine flights.

This is my second trip to Maze and it still remains my favourite restaurant in London.

Excellent restaurant. Be prepared to pay and allocate lots of time. If you have both, spend it here!

it started off so well, good service, and a wonderful view of Grosvenor Square.

When the first dish arrived, it began to go downhill, I ordered the Italian wine 'flight' but because I'd ordered a lot of fish, asked for two of the glasses to be substituted for whites which the sommelier recommended, to my disgust, I was given two glasses of sub-par new world wine, albeit at the £35 I would have been charged for the three decent Italian reds... Assiette of sandwiches, an assortment of two!... one of which was not even a sandwich! The croque monsieur was sublime, but miniature. The BLT, which contained no bread, simply a tomato jelly, lettuce sauce and a strange cream, perhaps mayonnaise, topped with two tiny silvers of bacon, in a martini glass was frankly vomit inducing.

The dish to follow was roasted scallops with cauliflower and cauliflower puree, this was not bad, but the scallops could have done with a little less cooking, and quite frankly I can cook scallops better than this.

Halibut ravioli, was not ravioli, but rather a decent piece of Halibut, well cooked, topped with a thin slice of pasta. This was a good dish, but because it was wrongly described, it does not get my approval.

The pork assiette was fine, nothing to rave about.

'Pain au chocolate' pudding was good, as was the desert wine that the 'other' sommelier recommended. Yet, it was not a 'pain au chocolate'... another wrongly described dish, it was cafe au lait flavored ice cream, with chocolate pudding and a white creamy mousse.

The 'other' sommelier also recommended me a very nice amargnac.

All in all, it's not worth a visit, even if it's not bad.

Everything I would expect from a restaurant bearing Gordon Ramsays name.Attention to detail.......perfect. Staff very attentive without being intrusive.Very polite without being obsequeous. The food was a joy.

Went for the lunch menu...........pud was a bit disappointing...had the crumble, and wanted an unctious pud..a bit too healthy....yhogurt custard..mmm. Wanted rich buttery crumble and CREAM. However, price was fab.

Have booked lunch in Maze New York, for a repeat performance.

Best restaurant I have ever been to in London. Attentive service, but not overbearing or fussy, food is divine, atmosphere is very relaxed and the restaurant itself looks fantastic. I love this place and can never go back enough. Yes it is pricy, but no more so than any michelin starred London restaurant - and here it's worth the money.

Overpriced, tiny portions, snooty waiters- apart from that it wasn't bad. The champagne cocktails were nice. But is it really worth £350 for 3 people, with one person not drinking any alcohol?
