The food here is great, such that we've raved about it for a whole year and decided to go back again and it didn't disappoint. Starters were a treat, scallops cooked perfectly and the steak tartare was a generous portion. For mains the lobster mac n cheese and chateaubriand were as good as we remembered, cooked just right and having amazing flavour. Overall, we really enjoyed the food.
Generally the food service was attentive however the night was marred by the front of house. It was a busy night and appreciate this but there was no waiting area other than the bar which was also packed. Both areas you're spilling into diners trying to eat their dinner or getting shoved about by more customers and the staff going in and out to serve customers sat outside. Secondly, we were waiting over 45mins for a booked reservation and there was no acknowledgement from front of house of this other than to wait, as they didn't want to ask diners to leave (at our last visit we were asked to pay and leave when our allotted time was up). We had to ask numerous times and there was no apology just that it was what it was. Maybe during less busy periods, this isn't a problem but when it is, it could have been managed better.

Im „34 Mayfair“ erlebten wir eine exquisite kulinarische Erfahrung in einem bezaubernden weihnachtlichen Ambiente. Das äußerst aufmerksame und höfliche Personal trug zu einem rundum angenehmen Besuch bei. Die Speisen waren hervorragend, ebenso wie die Auswahl an Weinen. Die stilvolle Atmosphäre schuf den perfekten Rahmen für einen wundervollen Abend.
Unbelievably disappointed. I had waited all year to eat in 34 Mayfair amongst the famous Christmas decorations and I couldn't have been angrier and more upset by the end of the meal. After waiting over half an hour between the starter being cleared and the mains been served, as soon as the mains were cleared, we got told we had to leave and could not have dessert (or even look at the menu) by some very official man in a blazer. When expressing are upset upon this news, he told us our time on the table was up and there was no way we could have dessert, unless we were willing to sit outside (it was about 4 degrees). He then reappeared a few minutes later with the news that if we wanted to spend £80 upwards on 3 desserts, we could have the pleasure, but would have to vacate the table immediately after. At which point we kindly declined. On a £465 bill for two courses for 3 people, which included a £2 cover charge per person to just sit down and a £55 service fee, I would expect to be treated a little better! I wouldn't dream of ever returning. The food was up to speck but the service most certainly wasn't. Such as shame, especially as the server we had all evening at the table was really fantastic. The man in the blazer should work on his customer service skills!
My 1st visit this week and everyone was lovely from reception to the gentleman serving us. Food was very nice indeed and it was nice to see a menu that was a bit different for a change too. It was a business lunch and they accommodated our request of a quiet table and not near any kids which thankfully there were none. Will definitely be back
First time dining here for our Wedding anniversary. The food was delicious, can't fault anything. Will definitely go back again
Loved it!
This place is gorgeous! The food was top quality, super delicious and well presented. The service was fabulous: our waiter was very kind , friendly and attentive. The menu is very attractive, barely stopped on just one main..but at least I know I will have to come back so I can try the rest of the delicious treats the restaurant offers. All staff we encountered was very smiley and we loved that. The food price I’d say was absolutely reasonable .
For starter I had the octopus, the best I have ever eaten so far. I would only change the sauce to something that’s less heavy. My partner had the crab tart which was very yummy 🤤! For main I had the Cornish lamb rump, and again the best lamb I have ever eaten! It was so delicately cooked and well flavoured. We also tried the Monkfish chop which was very nice too ( I needed more sauce for it tho). The desserts were great and very tasty!
Elegant restaurant with excellent food and friendly staff!

First I would like to start with the reservation, I couldn’t reserve online and the one answered was so unfriendly. The food was outstanding, the best orders were burrata, corn soup, duck salad for lunch. Cheesecake and donuts for dessert are a must. The service was good, but the welcoming man was not friendly.
I recently dined at 34 Mayfair in London, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The service was extremely poor, and the staff were unprofessional in their interactions with customers.
We experienced an unreasonable delay in receiving our orders, as it took more than 50 minutes for our food to arrive. This was incredibly frustrating and had a negative impact on our dining experience.
The table we were seated at was incredibly small, barely able to accommodate more than one order. The staff did not offer any assistance in managing the limited space, which made the situation even more challenging.
As for the taste of the food, it was below average. It seemed as though the presentation was the only focus, with little attention paid to the quality of the dishes themselves. This was a major disappointment, considering the reputation of the restaurant.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend 34 Mayfair to anyone. It is a shame that a restaurant with such potential failed to meet even the most basic expectations in terms of service, ambiance, and food quality.
