  The set menu at Marcus is top notch, you get 5 courses from 5 different chefs with each and every one was a delight! Cannot recommend more highly

  Exquisite dining experience at the heart of London’s luxury district. The moment I stepped in into the dining room, the posh and cozy vibe started to creep in. With the dimly lit lighting, it adds the romantic feeling into our table. The service was friendly and accommodating. We opted for 8 course tasting menu in January 2017. Our favorite was the pumpkin agnolotti, as the pumpkin was tasty in a couple of different ways. The hazelnuts chocolate dessert was a punch of flavor at the end. Fantastic dinner.

  Loved the starters and main, all beautifully cooked with great flavours. Dessert was ok but not as good as the starter and main. Service was attentive. theprovocativecouture.com

  This was definitely one of the best restaurants I have been to in London. The food was faultless, every bite was amazing. The pigeon tartar was the shock for me but delicious. The service was also great. Marcus I love you, thank you for such a treat!

  As a wheelchair user I have to start with the access to both the Berkeley and the restaurant. The staff are incredibly helpful and make things easier but there are stairs everywhere, and not just 2 or 3 stairs, loads of them: into the hotel, up to the restaurant, up to the toilet which I couldn’t fit into. Not really up to par for a top London hotel in terms of access. The feeling in Marcus lets you know he studied under Gordon Ramsay. It’s slightly informal but incredibly classy. Relaxed and upmarket. Dark wood with slightly bonkers artwork which is reflected from the walls onto the menus. The staff were impeccable. Closer to 3* star staff. Marcus wasn’t cooking, he was filming master chef but because it was my birthday the staff managed to find me a pre signed menu to take home. I have to agree somewhat with one of the reviewers on here in that 2* restaurants seem to sit in a kind of no mans land between the ambitious single star and almost untouchable 3* restaurants, however I would say Marcus is leading the pack with only minimal things that normally wouldn’t be called flaws, but are the things that are keeping him from attaining the third star. I do think he will get there eventually. I generally find tasting menus at 2 and 3 star places to be more a good experience than an enjoyable meal if that makes sense…. I certainly enjoy an amazing food experience though. The next biggie , in comparison, was actually desert. The salted caramel ice cream was so salty it was inedible again. We actually asked for some normal ice cream or cream to go with the rich chocolate but the kitchen didn’t have any and so had to go to the hotel kitchen to find some. Another shout out to the staff and their service for making it happen. The gluten free and normal bread was delicious and home made which you would expect… It’s always a let down at places like the savoy when they come out with toasted rice bread from the supermarket. The lemon meringue was delicious and tart enough! Not too sweet. They also gave me a birthday desert which was extremely kind and chocolate mousse deliciousness. We were sent home with custard creams in a box. It is an expensive night out but the food is very good and a very enjoyable experience that I would definitely recommend. The staff are outstanding. The meringue pie cocktail blew my mind. It takes like you are eating the pie and surprised me every mouthful. The first anomalies in the food came with the palate cleanser. Feta cheese with yuzu granita and a feta mousse on a cracker. The yuzu and liquid nitrogen actually went very well but here’s where he misses the third star… Slightly too much cheese as a ratio and too large lumps, which sadly made it not work. The cheese crisp on the side was bizarre. Completely inedible both in consistency and taste. I truly have no idea how that made it onto the menu or out of the kitchen. Very weird indeed. We both agreed on that.
