Le Salon Privé

The food is absolutely delicious and a great wine selection! Wonderful service and the decor is lovely. The best French restaurant!!! We would highly recommend for a fantastic lunch or dinner!

Incredible food, great service and exceptional value as it was steak night (half price steak!). This Is a really fantastic local restaurant that I would highly recommend!

The food was good although expensive for a starter of just two scallops, the octopus carpaccio was excellent. My husband's main course of brill was very good but I had to send back the lamb rump I had ordered as it it was tough and full of gristle and although they replaced it quickly it should never have left the kitchen in the first place. With most of the main courses you need to order side dishes at a an extra cost which makes it quite pricey. We chose a moderately priced white wine at £25 from their extensive list but when the bill arrived they had charged £26.50. I queried this not because £1.50 matters that much but because I always check restaurant bills carefully. It would seem that the wine prices had increased that day and although the prices had been updated on their till the winelists hadn't been. Unable to correct the wine price on our bill they then removed the service charge (automatically added) so we left a cash tip. In terms of ambiance the lighting is very poor in some areas making it difficult to read the menu or see what you're eating and some of the tables are very close together so one's conversation is not at all private! I don't think we'll rush back as there are so many alternatives in the area. ne from their very extensive windsor

Wonderful staff, atmosphere, amazing and fantastic menu. I always enjoy the surprise canapé provided too - absolutely delicious. The friendly staff makes the evening as they make you feel at ease, some small chats, gives you space as needed and always smile. The chef is amazing. All the dish has its unique flavours and melts in your mouth. Best oysters and escargots too for those that enjoy those delicacy! I also especially enjoy the specials - You get treated with lobster or truffles.... A must place to go for a lovely evening with your partner or friends. They even have a function room at the top floor. Emma &Peter

Having had great experiences at the restaurant, I took 3 friends - one of them a food blogger, so I hesitate before I recommend a place - to the Tuesday steak night. As always, great food, great atmosphere, good house wine and the manager and maitre'd were as friendly as usual. Why it fails on 5 stars is they don't seem to be able to get the junior waiting staff training right (or do they do the training on Tuesday nights?) as this is the second time I have experienced this. The unforuntate soul was shy, couldn't answer our question about what the house wine was and then topped it all by nervously knocking my food blogger friend's glass of wine to the floor, as she served the food - and all over her brand new handbag. I know it's a stressful job waiting, but........

The food is absolutely stunning, on a par with Michelin 3-stars in the UK and Italy (and yes, we've eaten in many of those!). The chef trained with Pierre Koffman (for those of you old enough to have heard of him -- La Tante Claire, Koffman's at the Berkeley), and it shows. Some very original dishes with ingredients that you might not think go together but magically they do, and that's the sign of a great chef to us. The service is attentive, very warm and friendly, particularly thanks to the Maitre D'.

I love the starched tablecloths/napkins and the servers' aprons. I love the decor and ambiance and feel these aspects give it a very adult sophisticated dining experience now often quite difficult to find elsewhere at reasonable prices. This unique atmosphere would be lost if it became a ' famiiy friendly' restaurant esp in the evenings. We enjoyed our food and felt the portions were generous and well presented and the menu was varied and interesting. Definitely my favourite restaurant at present

We were regulars at the excellent Brula and this was our first visit to its successor. Food here is good, although perhaps not up to Brula's level of consistency and more ostentatiously presented. My barley risotto with an aubergine timbale was an odd combination but was full of flavour, whereas my wife's starter - prawn and avocado salad was fresh but decidedly underseasoned. Bread was up to Brula's standards though and the decor and atmosphere - always a bit severe before - are a noticeable improvement. Weill definitely go again.

Le Salon Prive has a very warm atmosphere and the ambience was perfect to celebrate a special birthday with friends. Our table was reserved for us prior to arrival and we were greeted by the most courteous staff, who were extremely attentive throughout the evening. The food was very rich, but of excellent quality. Although this was my first visit, I will definitely return, particularly if it is a special occasion.

excellent service and excellent food; I was suffering from a very bad cold and had taken medication before arriving at the restaurant so think my behaviour must of seemed rather odd (we left in rather a hurry) I hope the restaurant did not think it a reflection on them, I was feeling pretty dreadful during the meal (alcohol and medication do not mix!) We will definitely go back....when feeling better.

This restaurant is definitely fine dining at its best. Beautifully laid out ,decorated tastefully and very welcoming. each member of staff were very professional and gave advice when asked. The menu had a lot of interesting choices ,PERFECTLY COOKED beautifully presented and very tasty we would and have recommend it to anyone who appreciates good taste in everything. compliments to chef and staff.

Incredible - a truly special lunch! To be honest we couldn't believe the place does not have a Michelin star. In lots of ways we hope it wont get one as we shall probably never be able to book a table again...purely selfish we know. But really, the quality of the food is superb and it has a very Parisian ambiance.

Excellent meal (especially the soufflé) and good service. The only reason I haven't awarded you a score of 6 is that the waitress filled our white wine half way up the capacious glasses which left little in the carafe and presented us with the choice of finishing the glass while the wine was still cold but before the main course came or making it last while it approached room temperature.

We had a fantastic night here, wonderful atmosphere, friendly and engaging staff, excellent food, all very relaxed - they prepared a tasting menu for us as we rang ahead and tailored it perfectly for myself (pregnant) with no direction required. The menu was also perfect for summer, seasonal, light, varied - would certainly recommend.

Excellent dinner. We had a small room adjacent to the larger diningroom, the staff was very friendly and the food was of high standard. The wine was of very good quality. Overall a good value for money. I can only recommend the Salon Privee. A cosy place for having a Birthday Dinner.

Extremely good service, very attentive. We had the set prix fixee which was incredible value at £16 for two courses. Food delicious as usual. You have to be there between 6pm and 7pm for the set meal but that suited us. The restaurant was still busy that early.

We had a lovely meal to celebrate our anniversary. Delicious chateaubriand. Starter slightly hard to eat with long strands a of asparagus and endive in a small bowl with a very large rim and wish they'd had a chocolate gluten free pudding to make the evening perfect, but still loved it and we'll definitely be back.

The calm efficiency and quality of Le Salon Prive is of a top West End restaurant - and the food did not disappoint. We're delighted to have such a top quality restaurant in easy reaching distance. Thanks to the all the staff for their efforts.

This is a great restaurant - we had been here several years previously when it was under the previous management. It has definitely upgraded itself on hospitality. Went in a party of four - small intimate atmosphere. Excellent attentive staff. Food was great too.

The music was awful - some sort of Kenny G-style "jazz" was playing. My steak was overcooked (I asked for medium-rare and got medium-well), but I was hungry so I didn't ask them to take it back. Our neighboring diner had his dish taken back to the kitchen, so I think the chef was having a bad evening. The service was pleasant enough.

Christmas Day lunch was excellent. Superbe food and personal service we left feeling cherished and delighted.there were 5 of us and those choosing traditional fare turkey etc were as happy as those who had something different. Delicious would thoroughly recommend it.

Attractive main dining room with beautiful stained glass front window. Good classic French food, we were there for the good value Bastille Day dinner - delicious lobster bisque to start, good chicken main then fab strawberry tart. Lovely friendly service, feels like being in a private home

Wonderful food and service in a very lovely building. The portions were a perfect size and it was not pretentious or overpriced. Our guests were most impressed and will visit again as they are more local than us.

Very good food and service. Very good value for money. Children are welcome. A extensive wine list with diverse prices. A very good experience all around, we will come back and recommend. Thank you to all the staff.

Steak Night rib eye steaks were really delicious, perfectly cooked to order and good value with the wine. Ambience very elegant. However service was slow, despite 3 staff in the dining room only 1 appeared to be allowed to take food and wine orders which really slowed things down. Will definitely be returning.
