An oasis of calmness and mixology excellence, nested in the heart of Central London. Service was top notch, attentive and most importantly, you’re not rushed. Fully enjoyed the few hours I spent here. When I left, the attentive concierge was very helpful and hailed down a black taxi for my ride home. A perfect finishing touch to what was overall an wonderful experience. Thank you.

Did I miss something? Is this place supposed to be so basic? It was featured at LCW so I figured they would have some sort of signatures. I see them on other people's reviews but nothing like that was available on my visit. There was no signatures menu, nothing creative at all. Just classics with very expensive spirits.

The entire feature menu consisted of 5 insanely priced cocktails with vintage bottles. Like, if you want to pay £450 for a Manhattan, they've got you covered. Using exorbitantly priced vintage spirits doesn't mean the cocktail is even done well. Who wants to risk that? I am convinced that menu exists solely to show off the age of some of their bottles, and to gouge those 20 or so silly new money millionaires that wander in here a year. Let's be honest, this is the Biltmore. Not the Langham, or even the Peninsula. And considering there were only us there, it's not exactly a popular place.

The other option is a meagre 6 classics. Which, okay, to be a cocktail bar does not require you to ever have signatures. You can specialize in classics done to perfection (as I have had at The Connaught, but they had their own creations too.) I'm just not convinced a bar of this supposed class should serve gimlets with lime cordial. Sure, that may be the original recipe but surely we have evolved beyond sickly cordials? They don't even specify any sort of housemade cordial. I can only assume it is store-bought.

I decided to chance their De la Lousiane. Definitely not worth £22. It was mid. Plus, the atmosphere just wasn't there. The place was dead and the staff were often nowhere to be found. My friends just ordered wine. Nothing seemed special to them either.

The main problem is that there's just nothing memorable about it at all. It looks like every other moderately upscale hotel bar. The staff were perfunctory but mainly absent and forgettable. The drinks were fine (not good), but again, instantly forgettable in their sheer blandness. Absolutely nothing stood out, and for the price, it really, really should. I just have a hard time believing anybody actually thoroughly enjoys this place. It's a bit nothing-y. All they have is their vintage bottles... but so do many Mayfair hotel bars now, and more impressive ones with cocktails and spirits hitting the £1000s.

I'll admit one of those cocktails tempted me, and with a little more disposable income, I would have maybe gone with the £140 1960s Negroni, lmao. But if I had that sort of cash to throw around, chances are I wouldn't be at this bar in the first place.

This bar has such a lovely atmosphere and the staff are so attentive. Aurel was amazing, always topping up our water and snacks without having to ask. The pisco sour was perfect.
