We’ve had many memorable meals over the years, but this one certainly takes the cake. Core’s three Michelin stars are extremely well-deserved - the creativity, presentation, and attention to detail are truly unrivaled. Each course was perfectly crafted, beautifully plated, and masterfully explained by its chef. Chef Clare Smyth was active in the kitchen on the evening we dined there, and it was evident how dedicated she was towards every dish being truly perfect. The wine pairings were a highlight as well, as was our amazing service by our server Bri. We can’t wait to return here again someday; do not miss your chance to dine here if a reservation comes available.

Possibly the greatest meal I’ve ever had in my life. I cannot convey my emotions into words what a truly amazing experience this was and I would fly out to London again just to come back here. The food was phenomenal and the service was just as good. Kind and caring, they explained each dish as they came out and I probably didn’t understand half of what I was eating anyway but it didn’t matter. The quality of the food is akin to artwork. After my many courses, and having left my meal and am now sitting quietly, reflective of my meal, I am doing my best to remind myself: don’t be sad because it’s over, be glad that it happened

My partner and I dined here in April. As big foodies, it had been on our to-do list for years. Reservations are hard to come by! We were not disappointed. The food here is incredible. We had the 'Core Seasons' menu which was £245 per person. We also had the wine pairings, which added on another £155 per person. We enjoyed our night at Core thoroughly. The stand-out feature for us was the wine pairings. The wines were curated perfectly for the food, and they were simply delicious. The service here is great. They have so many servers here waiting to cater to your needs.

An amazing experience! Everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere was perfect. Got the Core Classics menu and the Potato and Roe Dish especially blew me away - had to lick the plate clean. There’s lots of nice surprises throughout the courses and the atmosphere really makes you feel at home. Highly recommend!

Spent a long time on OpenTable looking for "next available" and got lucky one day. Nice friendly greeting from the brigade to start things off and straight to the table in a corner far from the window. Hushed chatter in the dining room and a nice bottle of champagne to start. It's difficult to describe this place because it's just so formulaic and conveyer belt I came away underwhelmed and frankly disappointed. I've had better 1 star meals and at one point we had to ask for the service to slow down as it was just serve, observe, collect, repeat. It's so slick, so polished, and utterly devoid of atmosphere and emotion. The signature carrot and potato dishes were very ordinary too. The venison and the dessert that looks like an apple were very good but it wasn't enough to make it memorable. Make your own mind up but I won't be returning.
