Terrible experience, we waited 15 minutes to be seated, not even acknowledged. We had to ask for the food menu, then again for the drinks, then again to order. No main courses for 1 hour 15 minutes and then the table next to us complained. They then got served first. Complete terrible service, we had to walk out. Toilets were dirty and when we complained to the duty manager, she sadly rolled her eyes. Do not recommend to book, this place used to be good but gone down hill.

The food was ok but given the cost I didn’t consider it good value. The service was pretty poor we waited ages for the menu then had to constantly chase up service after that, too shes to submit an order etc. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy and there was plenty of staff but to get their attention was difficult

We had a magical Christmas lunch at Game Bird. Our meal was delicious and the service was impeccable. We enjoyed the champagne cart and we had the smoked salmon and oysters as starters and our main courses were the potato pancake and the chicken Kiev; both were prepared expertly. We traveled from Florida and would certainly return on our next trip.

Food: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Dining at The Game Bird within the Stafford Hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. Next to Green Park, this restaurant embodies the essence of fine English cuisine, showcasing the best local and seasonal ingredients. Wine and Service: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A special mention must go to the Head Sommelier, Eugenio, whose expertise and passion for wine truly enhanced our experience! Ambiance: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, with soft lighting. We will definitely come back!

We enjoyed a Sunday evening dinner at The Game Bird. The Sunday roast is only available until about 3 pm, so I had the Duck Wellington and my husband had scallops. Everything was delicious and we had a nightcap in the adjoining bar. Overall, a lovely last evening for us in London.
