In Short
Discreet and genteel, this downstairs restaurant is all soft carpeting, dim lighting, supple padded chairs and piano music. The waitstaff sails about in tuxes and serves from the right. The menu reflects a classical French-inflected style, offering mainstays like chicken Oscar, rack of lamb, chateaubriand and steak Diane prepared tableside. Soups and salads are offered as well, including a lobster bisque and a spinach salad with crisp pear slices and hazelnut vinaigrette.

Went for mother's day. What a mistake. Ridiculously overpriced food. Out of a large group, I was the only one that liked the appetizer. Most of the group took a couple of bites of their dishes and left the rest. One had a cream soup and commented it had the consistency of warm cream cheese. The Entrees were a slight improvement over the appetizers but not much. Bottom line, the group entered hungry and left the same only with a lot less money. I would compare the restaurant to Stanford's but with a quieter atmosphere, worse food and triple the price. For the price it gets 1 star. If I spend $60 for myself on dinner, it better be exceptional and this place wasn't even close to mediocre.

The London Grill provides a beautiful, rich setting for enjoying fine food. I especially like going there during the Christmas holidays as it is beautifully decorated, offering a quiet setting in a time of activity.

I made my reservation on 11-13-08 over the phone for my 26th anniversary at the ringside on burnside. . I arrived at the Burnside location, valet my car, stood in the entrance for about 5 minutes. A pretty lady asked my name then checked the computer for my reservation. Another gentleman approached me and stated The person that took the reservation over the phone did not make them for the burnside location. I stated I did not know there was another location as I always ate here. I asked if they could correct the mistake. I was told no, it would be an hour wait to seat my wife and I. But they could save the reservation for the other location. I declined. I then left quite mad as they ruined my anniversary at this point , it was 7:17 in the evening and I had to find another place to eat . I was driving east down burnside trying to decide where to go. I used my wife?s gps to find my next destination. I called the London grill at the Benson hotel to see if they had a table. The answer was yes . I was pleasantly surprise the food was much better, the service was impeccable. If anyone has the same problem you know where to go Anthony R.

Where to Sit:
Secreted behind a couple of the panels in back of the dining room is the charming hidden wine cellar. You can reserve this single-table space or two other secluded nooks for a romantic night.
