About this restaurant

One Blenheim Terrace in St. John's Wood has rewound the clock with its unique play on retro classics. Local, accessible and plush - it offers relaxed refinement and opulent surroundings with friendly and efficient service.
This is serious food in a light-hearted atmosphere. As quality is the heart of each menu, the best of British produce, beers and wines are key ingredients for success. Chef Patron Ed Shaerf (previously from The Ivy) dreamt about creating something unique.
All our menus bring classic dishes to centre stage again but with an imaginative new performance.
We take classic dishes on British menus, strip them bare, re-imagine them and then re-present using only the best ingredients.
We aim to achieve style with a bit of cheek and chic.
Shaerf's thoughtful, provocative cuisine is designed to tease and tantalise the taste-buds, revitalising the flavours of yesteryear.

Restaurant is closed. It was quite empty, when opened. Good premises in search of a good chef. Area is short of attractive eating places

I have eaten at this restaurant on a few occassions. It is a great spot if you are at Lords for a day's cricket! Food was fantastic. Biggest skate wing that I have had in a long time! Wine list is very good and affordable for a range of budgets! Would definitely reccommend and sure to return!

We had a very nice two-course lunch at the restaurant last week. The main courses are sophisticated and deliciously cooked. I had the variation on the Lamb which is very inventive and use many spices. The combination of all infredients is great. The dessert was a great highlight too from the creme brulee, the very light chocolate mousse or the Lemon meringue. The service is very friendly and attentive. Overall a truly enjoyable experience. I highly recommend.

We had an excellent lunch with their five-course lunch formula. Outstanding value for the quality of the food and the service. Hopefully back soon!

I spent a lovely leisurely afternoon at One Blenheim Terrace with a friend. We had the 10 course tasting menu with a glass of prosecco each (Thanks to our Groupon voucher) and thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The first course was a fantastic three-layer pate-jelly-mousse concoction which was, in my mind, worthy of Michelin star status. Another great was the unusual liquid popcorn shot (which could've done with a bit of liqueur but which has great). The cheese course and whitebait were a bit of a let down and rather underwhelming but still decent. The red wine we chose was beautifully smooth and light, and very good for the price. The service was fantastic and the whole atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming.

I booked with my girlfriend the 10 course taster menu through groupon and come the end of the meal was seriously underwhelmed by the quality of food. It was nothing that we couldn't have knocked up at home. Waitress spilt water all over the table, my salmon course was missing oil that should have been drizzled on the plate. Had I paid full price I would have been furious, and the cheek to include service on the final bill was the last straw.

The place has a nice relaxed atmosphere, cosy and intimate. We went for a 10 course tasting menu to kick off my wife's birthday weekend. The meal started with so much promise with a fantastic starter. Then it began to head downhill when we were served a small piece of plain smoked samon with an equally small dollop of creme fraiche. I don't expect that as part of a 10 course testing menu. The rest of the meal improved, but nothing made either of us go WOW apart from the 1st course. Pleasant, but nothing to rave about. Would I go back ? Not sure. They need to raise their game. Not in the same universe as a meal I had at L'Autre Pied, which was perfect from start to finish, equally relaxed, and even better service, AND similar price-wise !!!

I ate at Blenheim Terrace using a groupon voucher and the 10 course tasting menu was excellent value. Some courses were quirky (yes, I'm thinking liquid popcorn) but several were a bit boring and worse... bland. Perhaps my expectations were too high but I just didn't think the dishes quite delivered the fireworks the menu promised. It was a good standard and I'd definitely go back on a similar offer but I probably wouldn't pay full AAA price for food that doesn't quite reach that standard. Service was very good; despite a rude couple at the next table, whom I would've refused to serve! I think the big windows will make this a lovely place for lunch and perhaps that's what I ought to try next.
