our comments
Carved out of Harvey Nichols’ food hall you half expect this restaurant to be like other in-store restaurants, a bit like a cross between a restaurant and a works canteen, but nothing could be further from reality. Fifth Floor is a stylish place to eat, bright uncluttered and with clean lines - the atmosphere is very relaxed, but the staff display real professionalism. The entrance is to the side of the store and you access the restaurant via an express lift, which takes you, unsurprisingly, straight to the fifth floor. A sizable bar next to the restaurant provides a pleasant place to meet and have a drink before dining.
We were offered the choice of a range of breads at the start of the meal, the sun dried tomato and the onion breads were each yummy. For starter, we both chose the scallops. These were cooked perfectly, four tender nuggets, which had good flavour, nicely caramelised on the exterior. They were an excellent start to our meal.
We shared the chateaubriand for our main course. Cooked medium rare, as ordered, it was a tender full-flavoured hunk of meat. Accompanied by a slice of fried foie gras served on a bed of spinach and supported by a rich and unctuous jus this was a hearty main course.
We also shared a chocolate fondue for dessert, which was really quite decadent with six small bowls of goodies, such as cake and fruits, to spear and coat with the velvety chocolate sauce. It was a great way to end the meal.
We accompanied the whole affair with a good fruity house rose and a full-bodied velvety Malbec, one of the house reds. Service was excellent, very attentive and professional, which added to our enjoyment of the meal, we were favourably impressed. So, after a hard days shopping, or if you are just heading out for a meal, the Fifth Floor restaurant is worth a visit.

Really enjoyable but not the best atmosphere midweek and place could almost certainly do with an upgrade! Staff attentive but not obtrusive and food excellently presented and prepared. Felt they were a bit sparse with the wine on the offer but on the whole excellent value for a special occasion.

Wonderful, not at all what you would expect from a department store restaurant. The Fifth Floor is entirely separate from the more utilitarian and noisy Yo Sushi outlet next door, this haven of peace and refined dining amongst the shopping throngs of Knightsbridge is well worth a visit.
The whole food experience was delightful. A selection of tasty breads and nibbles. Starters included asparagus - tender not just at the tip; steak tartare with a tasty bite; main of a melt-in-the-mouth pigeon in sauce including a hint of dark chocolate in the sauce; and chocolate fondue and some truffles to finish. (can you tell we like chocolate?!). All beautifully presented, delivered at the right time and with a smile.
Numerous and attentive staff, not overbearing but immediately there when you needed them. One only very tiny niggle was we were not offered wine when we ordered, we had to ask for some, but really this was a tiny oversight in what was overall a very pleasant evening.
Highly recommended and at 40 pounds a head for 3 courses including unlimited house wine (of which there was a selection) is great value for Knightsbridge, and for the quality of the dishes you are getting here.

I travel to London from Canada many times a year and have eaten at the restaurant many times in the past year while visiting London and have had wonderful food and great service. I have recommended it to many friends and they have all had a wonderful meal. I highly recommend it. The staff were very polite and courteous. Their Sticky Toffee Pudding is excellent. I shall be going to London in a couple of weeks and will definately be having dinner there again.

I ate at the Fifth Floor with my brother tonight and cannot praise it enough. The foie gras starter was good however, the main course was outstanding. The Pyrenean lamb was delicious and I have never tasted such wonderful halibut. To top it off, there was a superb selection of house wine. The setting was excellent, the service most attentive and the bill at the conclusion of such a wonderful meal was even better! I’ve eaten at many London restaurants and this has to go straight into my top three.

Excellent food and service but expensive. Why have silly little niggles such as a £5 for sea bass and £3.50 for a vegetable side-dish when the set-price for a starter (or sweet) and main course is £34.50 +12.5% service

we had a fantastic night there. The atmosphere was great and the waiters very polite. The food as well as the drinks and cocktails was tasty. The only thing that shocked us was when we received the check. Very pricy restaurant but this is London!!!!!!!!

A good place to start your shopping at Harvey Nichols from the top floor down to designer floor!
The food is simple but very good and fresh. Good salads, good pasta, good plate of cheeses. And nice terrace!
The only thing that is less constant in quality is the service, as you can alternatively have an efficient and smily waiter or a very unefficient and unpatient waitress...
Prices are also quite high given the simplicity of the dishes, but well, you're in Harvey Nich's, what did you expect?
