Kaspar's - City of London,Westminster

Kaspars is part of the extended lobby area of the Savoy , and as such has no personal atmosphere or ambiance . It was virtually empty on a Thursday night , and once the music started to echo from the performer in the lobby it completely lost the point of eating there. The staff were friendly and efficient but the food was average and unbeliveably expensive for the quality. For example my lobster pasta dish consisisted of congealed pasta and a bland lobster . The starters were interesting but not outstanding . We only had 1 glass of wine each but the bill was £180+ , massively overpriced. Compare this with Scotts great atmosphere , superb food and first class service. Sadly Kaspars is only an alternative for Savoy guests who dont want to leave the hotel. One visit was more than enough.

The service was outstanding, and we were seated near to the area where there was a live piano playing, with people having afternoon tea. The service was brilliant, and all of the food was great. The duck breast was quite good. The desserts were very good, especially Kaspar's Temptation. If I came back I think I would want to consider afternoon tea at the Savoy instead. The dishes were expensive for what they were, although I'm sure this was to be expected for such a fantastic venue.

Wonderful place with excellent menu and service. They were very accommodating of dietary needs. Great wine list and team.

Specialising in Seafood we weren't disappointed by the food on offer. All was good quality, service was excellent. No complaints.

We ate lunch in a virtually deserted restaurant on Sunday. We opted for the three course set meal priced at £42, but our total bill including a shared side dish, one glass of wine, coffee and the 12.5 service charge came to over £73 each. There was a choice of only two items for each course, but the food was tasty and well cooked and presented. However, there was an odd situation regarding the main course. The salmon was described as being served with a veloute and neither my friend nor I knew what this was. There was also an Irish Tulse, and we didn 't know what this was either. The waiter just said it was a vegetable (it turned out to be broccoli). We asked if the veloute was a potato dish, as we wanted potatoes with our meal, and the waiter said it was. When the meal came there was no potato. We queried this and two different waiters followed it up. Neither knew what a veloute was. Eventually a dish of new potatoes was brought with an apology. Meanwhile I had Googled veloute and found out that it was a butter sauce, which presumably was the green sauce (described by the waiter as such) which came in a jug. The staff probably did their best, and to be honest both my friend and I found the situation funny. However, when one goes as a special occasion to such a restaurant, one does expect rather higher standards!
