The service and the food were both excellent. The ambiance was next level with a beautiful design and live, music by a talented trio. I would highly recommend to all.

From the moment we entered Berner’s tavern the personnel gave the outmost of their effort to please us. The ambience, the table and the service was extraordinary. I ought a special mention to Gigi the waiter that made our day. He was extremely friendly to our young son, he broke the ice and the night went amazing. He is one of a kind. We definitely recommend Berner’s Tavern!

One of the first restaurants I used to go to regularly when I first moved to London. I love the Dickensian feel, it feels like old London!
