9/10The chicken had the best chicken taste l have never had. The beef was also good both on the quality of the meat and also the chef. The portion size were rather small if it was not the Fork disc. All in all, an enjoyable meal.

8.5/10Ambience good. Attentive service. Minor issues such as waste bowl/plate for prawn shells would be good. Food a little on bland side. Fillet a bit overcooked and no shine on it. Whiskey taster excellent

10/10The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere with really friendly staff who went out of their way to make feel welcome. The food was well cooked and delicious. We loved the extra little touch of the mini birthday Cake

8/10This lovely restaurant in the old headmaster's house of St Paul's School (now St Paul's Hotel) is a favourite of mine. I booked the £39 3-course menu for 2 people with glass of champagne included, for a Sunday evening birthday dinner. When we arrived we were told this offer is not available on a Sunday. After some discussion, it was agreed they would honour our booking. The meal was delicious and they did not charge for the champagne! The Fork should make it clear that this offer is not available on a Sunday, which would have avoided an embarrassing situation! In the end, we had a good meal and left smiling.

7.5/10Lovely small restaurant, the service was good. Unfortunately my tempura monkfish was served raw. Was quickly replaced. The food overall nicely presented but the taste was rather flat.

8/10Having been to this lovely restaurant before we were looking forward to returning. We arrived and already disappointed to be placed on a table when we requested a booth. Never mind. The waitress took our order and returned with glasses of champagne… however unlike previous visits we waited for top ups … they also noted our empty glasses. The bottomless is for two hours fortunately and in the second hour we had a much more attentive waitress … and a young man who recommended good tea. The afternoon tea was plentiful … cinnamon scones are wonderful. The gardens are nice to sit in too. Overall would have been a 10 had we felt we were looked after at the start.

10/10Beautiful building the old Masters Lodge for St Paul's school when it was in Hammersmith. Lovely interior with tablecloths. The staff were excellent. I'd originally booked a table late in the afternoon and got a phonecall to confirm if I actually wanted dinner. The restaurant serves afternoon tea until 4.30pm and then the a la carte service begins at 5.30pm. They kindly changed the timing for my booking and still applied the Fork discount. Beautiful food. The monkfish tempura was delicious and the beef and whiskey was a hit! We will definitely be back again

7/10The building and interior is striking, I thought the service was OK. unfortunately the chef was ill on the day , so we were unable to have the Al la carte menu, however we was offered the set menu with a glass of champagne at a reduced price so we went for that instead. I enjoyed the asparagus starter with egg yolk and pesto sauce. My main arrived luke warm , it was sea bass with sweet potato or pumpkin mash . My guest had lamb chops with potatoes and brocoli. For dessert we had mango and passion fruit deconstructed cheesecake, it tasted artificial. Overall we both had a pleasant evening where the food lacked in satisfaction the ambience and decor made up for it.

10/10We went for Mother's Day lunch and had the Sunday roast menu. It was really lovely! Especially the excellent service from Fedérico! My husband enjoyed the beef and my mother in law and I had the lamb. The carrot was a bit salty and my cheesecake dessert was served frozen but those were the only minor complaints. We also had slightly long wait between each course after being told initially that the table was needed back in 2 hours. All in all we had an enjoyable lunch. Its worth noting there is no parking at the hotel but it was easy enough getting street parking on the road adjacent.

10/10Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea here for Mother’s Day. The selection of food, scones and sweet treats were lovely and the tea menu had an extensive variety. Well worth the visit and I will be sure to return!

10/10Amazing for a first date. The set menu and included champagne was excellent, the staff friendly and laid back without being too informal (e.g. they let us choose where to sit!) It's a beautiful and fascinating location. Will definitely come again and recommend - planning to take Dad for his birthday next. Thanks all at Melody St Paul's.

6.5/10Afternoon tea seriously lacked variety. Six scones, no pastries, limited cakes. Every other afternoon tea we had previous to this experience required us to ask for a doggy bag. Always good to save for a later snack. We decided not to bother with this. Location, ambience and service were great but the food and variety was less than satisfactory.

6/10Food took 40 mins to arrive - extremely slow and slowest by far of any fork restaurants we have been to. Free water was not topped up at all until I asked and it took a while to catch the waitress attention to ask for more water. In addition the horse radish was not very good so couldn’t enjoy the roast beef how I would normally eat it.

9/10Went with family for my sister's Birthday we had afternoon tea the staff were very friendly and welcoming very beautifully decorated room, really liked the salmon selection I would say the choc muffin was a little dry. But the mango chocolate mouse dessert was superb. Also the bacon jam was very interesting my brother in law still talking about it. The staff were great giving my sister a special dessert and also some chocolates to take away for my nephew Overall great experience. Would like to see a bigger loose tea selection. Would come back to try their lunch. Dinner menu

10/10Our Christmas dinner at Melody at St. Paul was absolutely superb! Everything from the beauty and history surrounding the ancient building to the friendliness and attentiveness of the serving staff to the creative and delicious favors of the three course meal was simply outstanding.

10/10We were late, but the restaurant was accommodating. And held another 15 min of the kitchen time while waiting for us to place our orders. Kudos to Jackie (apology if I had gotten the spelling wrong) and the team!

10/10Had a wonderful evening with my high school friend who was visiting London. Amazing and worthwhile set menu for three courses and a glass of champagne for £29 in a very pretty setting! The food is very delicious and they served complimentary baked brioche bread with a lovely honey butter. There is a whisky bar adjoining the restaurant with a substantial collection for pre or post dinner drink. I am already booking to return with family!

10/10My Mum and I had an outstanding afternoon tea at the Melody restaurant on Friday. The staff were a constant delight, the food very plentiful with lovely attention to detail. If not the best afternoon tea I've ever had then definitely up there amongst the best.

10/10It was perfect indeed! We booked it last minute because all the venues we wanted were booked in London and in the end I'm sure it couldn't have been so perfect as it was quiet and calm and we weren't asked to leave after a certain amount of time which is not always the case... The food is delicious and for the price paid I have to say it's a good surprise. My choice was only based on reviews here and on Google and as a french I didn't have the time to explore so I chose this thanks to the photo from the outside and the inside and it was pleasant to arrive as well as being inside ! To me it's important not to be disappointed at first sight! The lady Grace who served us was kind and pleasant, took the time to explain and understand my British English which is far from perfect. If I had a suggestion, it would be to adjust the music maybe. The level is good but the style could be more classical, less "remix" which didn't suit the place in my opinion. BUT it was not to loud we could forget it. The Christmas playlist especially was good in an early November though it could have been more classic. Champagne tea scones etc were perfect. Can't wait to be back Ps : restrooms were very clean and the place as a really pleasant atmosphere we could spend the whole day here....

10/10Amazing tea selections. They made everything so easy, asked if there were any allergies right off the bat and then made sure we had proper accommodations for them. Even though everything was finger foods, it ended up being decently filling and they had a nice variety of assortments. You do get a discount booking through the fork which I did not know about so that was a cool surprise. Will recommend for anyone wanting to do afternoon tea in the future.

9.5/102nd time visiting Melody. Menu had just changed so we were a bit disappointed, staff wasn't familiar with menu but the food DID NOT disappoint!!! Amazing sauces and vegetables accompanied each dish. Highly recommend. Passed on dessert but was treated to their signature dessert brought out by the chef. Amazing "chocolate melody "with a whiskey kiss.
