When I have found that some times back this place was favorite corner of Princess Diana I made myself a promise to come and visit this place one day. Of course, checking the reviews I had to be ready to be able to pay, but I will say that after experiencing the service and food aspects and the whole atmosphere of the room and dimming lights all of that was worth the money we paid. It was a special occasion for me and my bf and I have chosen this place for this celebration. I will say I didn't do a mistake. From the very first minute we have been welcomed by smiling Italian gentlemen in the suit who showed us the way to our table. The atmosphere was so intimidating and lovely. We sticked to the taster menu and wine pairing and it was a true indulgence and diving into gastronomic orgasm. Thank you chef Ben Murphy and another lovely and well mannered waiter, I recall him as Matia. Great explanation from the wine expert (true expert despite of being seemingly young). I wish to come back soon as another special occasion will come over. And thank you for such a special day.
We've been visiting Launceston Place for a while and it was with some trepidation that we learned that the head chef was changing.
However, all the changes have been very positive. I was also unsure when they announced that they were redecorating and going for a more lighter look. But that has worked out very well too.
Ben Murphy has done a superb job of lifting the already high reputation to even greater heights. We've been able to speak with him a few times and he's always been very open about his thoughts and plans.
As we're infrequent regulars all the staff are always super friendly with us, right from the bar staff, through to the sommeliers and waiters. The GM (Sandro) always treats us like family too.
From the moment you walk into the door, the staff are keen to take care into your experience. They are very attentive and know every aspect you need to know about the food and drinks, for me this is very rare. They do what they can to make you feel welcome. Me and my girlfriend visited and decided to go for the tasting menu, I was very keen to try as much food as i could and I was nothing but blew away from each course!! I have followed chef Ben Murphy for many years and visiting today I was not disappointed, his food is very tasty as well as smart, creative and modern. Every element is there for a reason and that is clear by the way each dish tastes. Very impressed and is definitely destined to do well. Thank you so much for an amazing experience.
