Four of my friends and I made the trip over to England and were told to "must try Rules" The decor is the old rich velvets and dark wood very nice but that is far as it goes, the menu had me salivating at the descriptions but when the food arrived it was the smallest portions I have ever witnessed... more

As a frequent visitor to the UK, no trip to London is complete for me without dining at Rule's. There is no other place that says Old England to me more than Rule's. Yes, it has its share of tourists, but why shouldn't it? I recommend it to most everyone I know who is going to visit. The decor is... more

Fabulous venue, wonderful setting and decor - we had a late Sunday lunch there - one of us had a faultless meal, the other had a pricey sirloin steak that was verging on being 'below par'. When the Maitre d' spotted a problem he changed the steak knife rather than the steak! Also from observation, we do NOT recommend you... more

My father first took me to Rules over 50 years ago and the food is still the same classic English fare but otherwise the standards have vastly deteriorated at dinner, although not to such an extent at lunch. Eating dinner with another couple we were appalled by the familar attitude of the mid-European waiter, an attitude more approrpuate to California... more

Having managed to get a booking we were delighted with the ambience of Rules it really has to be tried if only the once. They are sooooooooo popular you wont be missed if you do not return. Our food was fine - presentation was beautiful but my Kettyle steak was tough and my daughter found bones in her fishcake BUT... more

We were running late for our reservation and had the concierge at our hotel call ahead - apologize and explain that we would be there as soon as possible. The concierge advised that Rules personnel had said that would not be a problem and we headed out via taxi. On... more

After a few visits I still want more. Often full up , should be booked. Try the Edward 7th cocktail bar up stairs I always forget to go up and they dont seem to direct you there.The rooms are more clutter than antique. Where else do you go for potted rabbit,gulls eggs,dressed crab,steak and kidney pudding,with a side of samphire.Eat... more

Pricey and just not worth the money. We enjoy eating out at good restaurants when traveling. This one was recommended by our concierge at our hotel nearby. The atmosphere was pleasant, but the service was slow. When we finally received our meals, we ate quickly as we were hungry. The steaks were good, but not great. There was quite a... more

Glamorous, charming restaurant with top class waiters and exceptional menu choice. Not appropriate for those on a budget, the extensive menu offers plenty of meat and game dishes, leave room for the delicious puddings. more
