The Royal Automobile Club

The service, food, and drinks at this restaurant were excellent. The only downside was that I was told my handbag was too big and had to be stored in the cloakroom. This policy was inconvenient for me as a woman.

This restaurant consistently provides a wonderful experience, whether you are stopping in for dinner, drinks with friends, or visiting London for leisure or business. The facilities are beautiful, the staff is extremely friendly, and the atmosphere always makes you feel right at home in the heart of London.

Friendly, if a little stuffy! A friend visited in such perfectly pressed denim pants, that I was shocked when the waitress told him he wasn’t welcome, since we only visited for 15 minutes. Still, though my south facing room was a bit small, it was cozy, with a lovely view. Breakfast was welcoming and I found myself making friends! Staff was unfailingly helpful and polite. It’s very pleasant to be somewhere where people are dressed decorously, it’s true! I long to come back. It’s a beautiful place, well priced for a reciprocal member. An incredible value, with a Concierge so delightful you want to take him home with you!

Old fashioned professional service is the Normal at the main dining room at the Royal Automobile Club in the hart of London. Great wine selection, knowledgeable sommelier and very friendly Maitre'D made for a fantastic experience. Irish oysters were followed by expertly prepared sautéed Foie Gras. For our main we selected Dover Sole ,fresh, head on and delectable Pricing was very reasonable for such a grand setting and quality

Having visited the club many times I feel compelled to, on one hand commend the place which has generally been a venue in which I’ve enjoyed a variety of good evenings, very acceptable food, decent selection of beer wine and generally very good service. It’s also fair to say that standards may be slipping. Food yesterday was very ordinary. Poorly prepared veg, tasteless mains, forgotten orders never brought to the table and a poor selection of beers due to stocks running out we were told. I know it’s hard to maintain staffing and quality in these hard pressed times but members pay circa a £2k a year for the privilege. Most of the grumbles and gripes mentioned here can be addressed through suitably ambitious management and an acceptance of only the highest standards. I hope these times return to this memorable venue.
