   The food was excellent, the desert was a let down. A bit plane, tasteless and not very exciting choice of the deserts. The rest of the dishes were fantastic. The first little dishes were our favourite! Great selection of wines and spirits! Amazing service!

    Such a great restaurant. My second visit and as soon as you enter you know you are in for something special even before the food and drink arrive. Such good staff in all respects. Then the food. Every course was special and how they arrive at some of the flavours is amazing. I booked again as I was leaving.

    Menu was carefully thought of. Each course was sublime.Sequencing made sense. Wine pairing was amazing. Service was unparalleled . If I could I give a score above 100 I would . I cannot wait to go back. I’ve had experiences in other 3 Michelin starred restaurants but Core is now a favorite. It is perfection

    There are few experiences in my life that are comparable to the French Laundry (famously described by Anthony Bourdain as the best restaurant in the world) and this is one of them. What Claire Symth as done here is the remarkable. The foot is outstanding, the service is impeccable and the atmosphere is superb. It is easy to balk at the price tag and assume that something cannot be worth that price. I would urge you to fight this belief and experience the majesty for yourself.

    I must admit the mains were a bit lackluster. The starters and desserts were grand. Value overall is medium, you'd probably get a better bang for your quid at The Ritz.

    We had the seasons tasting menu. My friend swabbed a couple of dishes for some in the traditional tasting menu due to intolerances and they were perfectly lovely about that. The Core-Teser was our favourite, the desert was delicious. The wagyu beef was perfectly cooked and the veal sweetbread was surprisingly delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly. The turbot was also delicious, as was the crab and the entrees.

    We were very looking forward to enjoying one of the three stars restaurants in London, and when we entered the place, the staffs were very kind, and the atmosphere was lovely(but overcrowded(should reduce the number of tables), so we thought that courses would be great. However, especially the Core classic course was terrible, assuming that trainees cooked and arranged without the chef's confirmation. In addition, the service was ok, but there was no big difference between ordinary restaurants in Soho(Careless, rough and irresponsible). I am expecting an improvement in the future.

    A superb experience commencing with the understanding shown at reception to a change in circumstance. The food was both imaginative and delightful, putting a new spin on classic ingredients. Each course was superb and not one weak dish - would have happily eaten a second portion of each. The wine pairings also matched the food very well and included a couple of new editions to my palate. would definitely return and recommend.

    People often ask what takes a one star restaurant to a two and a two to a three! If you come to Core then you will have the answer. The team are all totally dedicated to delivering the most wonderful experience - in every area, from greeting, to cocktails, to menus to wine choice, to cooking, flavours, presentation. Everything is absolutely perfect - but at no point do you feel anything is intrusive or over-bearing. Its also a leaf of nations with all the team - I think we interacted with most of them and there must have been at least 20 nationalities. Its such a credit to Clare that she has developed and brought together such a wonderful cosmopolitan team!!
