Besides the great food & beverage, the service really stood out! John (the waiter on a placement from Shannon College) was out of this world!! Excellent service, a real gem, John really stood out and I truly hope you will be able to retain him at The Lanesborough after his placement. Very, very well done!

This was a last minute splurge on a recent quick trip to London from the States. So happy we did! The staff, first off, were all so kind and professional. The place was just lovely. The perfect combination of cozy, at-home and luxurious. The food! Every dish was beautiful to the eye and devilishly delicious. I wish we were not rushed, due to tickets to the theatre, but the staff was very attentive to not rushing us, while still keeping us on schedule. Each course was better than the last, and they even sent us off with a take-away, “for breakfast tomorrow.” We will definitely be back to Frog on our next trip, for a more relaxed, better to luxuriate in every course experience. Loved it!!

From when we arrived to when we left we were absolutely spoilt. Had a super starter, main and mince pies to die for, never had such a potent brandy cream!! Christmas cocktails were a nice touch. On the whole a chilled Christmassy afternoon.

My friends and I enjoyed the taste, presentation and service of the food. It was great to have the advice of the sommelier too. All staff members were accommodating and helpful when needed. The atmosphere was great as this time we were seated in the main part of the restaurant, where I prefer to be. We will return here for more - thank you!
