This was an amazing dinner. Knocked on the Lion-head door knocker and were gets by the friendliest staff possible. 

We are on the air-conditioned patio over looking the garden. 

Everything was amazing!

Pretty good for a hotel restaurant.  Good staff.  Good for quiet meals.  Menu changes frequently.

The Blue Door Bistro was great! We loved the assortment of breads, cheeses, beverages, meats, and other breakfast foods. There is something for everyone.

The servers are attentive; we got toast and coffee/water refills without having to say much.

We were staying at The Montague and purchased a package that included breakfast. Not having to think about breakfast food was excellent.

I loved the decor and the sunroom and patios, too. The mix of traditional and modern decor make this a great spot fo breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

We were staying in the hotel and though are vacation package included a complimentary dinner from the pre fixe, I would dine again here.  Service was great and the food was generous and pleasing.  

I wish that we weren't limited to the pre fixe as it was a little limited, but we did make the right picks.  I went with a leek soup, jadori chicken, and the cheesecake.  He got the puff pastry, pasta primavera and rice pudding.

The leek soup was a nice light creamy starter.  The puff pastry with the poached egg hit the spot with the yolk being perfectly runny and the asparagus was tender.  They had a great selection of breads and butters with salts.  My chicken had a delightful mix of herbs, crisped skin and was juicy.  It was accompanied by vine ripened tomatoes and buttery mashed potatoes.  He enjoyed his pasta as well.  The cheesecake was huge and yes I was already getting stuffed but decided to pull through.  The cheesecake was served with ice cream, some toffee crumbles and a hardened toffee slice.  It was delicious though could have used a berry sauce or some sauce to balance out all the cream cheese. The rice pudding is something we never had but it worked.  It's still rice, so I think psychologically you needed to get over that, but it wasn't overly rich and served with nuts.  To top it off, they gave us an assortment of four chocolates which we ended up getting a box for as we were stuffed.

Great service and very pleasing food.  Hotel food can be delicious as Blue Door proves to be.  4.5 stars.

What a lovely bistro inside The Montague.

Met friends here for a birthday dinner. I like the decor. It's a balance of old and new and they get it right for the most part.

There are a few areas to the bistro. Inside dining room, bar/lounge, conservatory both an inside and out... So, plenty of space for everyone.

The greeting was pleasant and professional. Service was efficient, helpful, friendly and well timed.

We opted for the fish and chips because we wanted to see if it was price appropriate. It was very good albeit a bit pricey. The mushy peas were not seasoned at all but the fish was cooked really well, moist, lightly battered and the chips were a good match!

The bread and butter starter was a bit flat. The focaccia didn't taste of anything. It was also a bit tough. The different salts were nice with the butter though.

I didn't have dessert but tried a little of my friend's cheesecake and it was also tasty.

This is a nice bistro with lovely service and you'd enjoy spending some time here.

We had dinner out on the back patio and it was wonderful. What a great escape from the city and the heat! 

The service was stellar. All of the suggestions we got were great, and they were super attentive.

Every single thing we ordered here was delicious. Pasta, meat, seafood, all fantastic. I look forward to coming back next time we are in London!

A wonderful experience in a little out of the way hotel. We were a party of 8 wanting to dine at 6:30 and using OpenTable UK Blue Door came up. Yelpers seemed to like this place so we gave it a try. Everyone enjoyed the gravlax appetizer and the onions soup was wonderful too. The only disappointment served was the burger. Amazing service we felt so pampered. Ambience valor. Highly recommend especially for a large group.

My husband and I ate here because a meal was included with our hotel stay, and I am glad that we made it! We both had the three course meal. All of the courses were wonderful, with generous portions, perfectly cooked vegetables and tender meat. Beautiful presentation, perfectly seasoned food, wonderful service. We will definitely be coming back!!

Great ambiance coupled with excellent food and exceptional service. The sautéed spinach and prawns were delicious as was the cheesecake.

Also provide an award winning tea time.

Wonderful meal with excellent service. We had an early since we had our two teenage boys with us. 

Starters: cream of cauliflower soup, very creamy and flavorful. 
              Spring pea soup with bacon: chilled soup, wonderful color tiniest smidges of bacon added great crunch and saltiness.

Entrees:  wordsley lamb - cooked rare to perfection. Served with chips
               Wagylu beef burger - 16 year old thought he died and went to         heaven
              John Dory filet with squid ink pasta ordered by our 12 year old. Delicate white fish with onions and perfectly al dente pasta.

Dessert:  we ordered the brownie and rice pudding to share. Got a tiny taste of the brownie, which was quickly overtaken by 16 year old. Nice dark chocolate. Not too over sweet.  Rice pudding had great dark caramel and slightly salted nuts. Best rice pudding I've ever had!

Service was delightful. Declan was our main server and made the boys feel very welcome and comfortable in a more formal white table cloth environment.  Very proper, but not overly stuffy.
