I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ginza St James, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely amazing—every bite was packed with flavor, and the steak was so incredibly soft, it melted in my mouth like butter. The taste was so perfect that I didn't even need any sauces to enhance it. We sat at the chef’s counter, which was a real treat. Watching the chefs work their magic and prepare our food was fascinating and added an extra layer to the experience. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The mocktails were not only beautifully presented but also delicious, balancing both aesthetics and flavor perfectly. To top off the evening, they brought out a lovely happy birthday plate, which was a thoughtful touch that made the night feel even more special. If you’re a foodie or looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, I highly recommend Ginza St James. It’s a memorable experience from start to finish!

So very disappointed, no children’s food, ordered them stick with no sauce and got charged £96 each. Total bill with no alcohol for 2 adults. A 12, 10 and 1 yr old £528, with £68 service charge at 15%. I feel violated.
