London's Best Restaurants that are most frequently booked by customers of The Clove Club London
😒 3/5 - Disappointing return

I had previously visited Clove Club for a memorable and delicious solo dinner and was this keen to return with my partner. We had a nice enough evening, but, given the restaurant's reputation and price, left somewhat disappointed. We sat at the bar. I think this was a mistake, in retrospect. Although it was one of the options for the booking, which would indicate an equal level of service to the dining room, we felt like an afterthought much of the evening. And the bartender, whilst polite, mumbled and was difficult to understand. Among other staff with whom we interacted, only one brought personality; the others were machine-like. We chose wines by the glass, not wanting the full pairing. We very clearly ordered the normal Riesling and were instead served the orange Riesling. When we pointed this out after again glancing at the wine list, the sommelier offered only a small taste of the originally ordered wine. And we were charged for the glass. Mistakes happen, but at a place with two Michelin stars, I found the failure to remove the glass from the bill and/or simply offer a complimentary pour of the wine we ordered chintzy and poor form. As for food, it was fine, but among other restaurants of this quality, unmemorable. Some dishes were excellent; for example, starting snacks of crab and chicken and the smoked trout stood out. Others, especially an odd custard with white asparagus and a dessert covered in popcorn (including, in poor form for a restaurant of this caliber, buried unpopped kernels that were tooth-killers!), disappointed and seemed more about showing off fancy techniques than flavor. Overall, not horrible, but not the knock-your-socks-off experience I remembered from my first visit and what seemed like an off night, service-wise. I would not warn someone away but also would not especially recommend based on this experience.
