The MAINE Mayfair London Reviews
Avoid, Creepy & Unethical.
Awful Entertainment, Degrading & Absolutely no warning. This practice should be removed thoroughly. Seeing the way people stared and took pictures of a nude woman parading around the restaurant. Utterly Distasteful.
Bland Food & Poor Entertainment.
We visited last Saturday evening. We paid extra as we sat in the front circle. The service was fine, but the food was bland and overpriced for what we had. The drinks were nice, but the entertainment fell short of our expectations. A "Burlesque dancer" came for a song and waved a couple of feathers, which lasted two minutes and was really nothing to rave about. This is nothing like a cabaret. The Cuban band was good, but there was nowhere to dance. I feel we paid a lot of money for what we had and for what we saw or didn't see, rather.. We won't visit again."
Bug after eating there
I have been to the Main many times but the last Two times I have come away with a serious bug which has put me out of action for days, the fist time which was a bout 6 weeks ago i thought I had picked up something maybe on the train butt hen I was there this week and the same thing the next day back in bed with a serious bug and this time my girl as well we seriously ill. the first time I had oysters as a started and my girl did not the second time we both had and both got ill. so Main thats it your now finished with us and your lucky I have not decided to report you to the HSE.
Arrived in London from LA just in time for lunch and found
Arrived in London from LA just in time for lunch and found some perfect comfort food to start our journey. Brought in a group of 8 and was seated immediately by a friendly staff who completely took care of us during our time. There's plenty of options for everyone. The lobster roll was divine, mussels were perfect and the vegan burger was crispy deliciousness. Highly recommend and thanks to the staff for a fantastic start to our London experience!
Great experience ✨
Great atmosphere 🥂🍾 amazing show, music and food!!!👌 It was the second time! 🤩 Will visit again!! 🤍✨ Nice outdoors space as well
Thank you Matteo!
Matteo gave us one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Matteo himself made everything amazing. From start to finish, he made sure we felt welcomed, and he was super attentive! It’s rare to find someone so genuinely invested in making sure guests have an amazing time. Can’t recommend it enough!
I’ve never had such a weird experience with a restaurant
I reserved my table a couple of weeks ago, secured with a credit card as per usual. Today I received an email asking me for £200 by 330pm otherwise my table would be cancelled? It was 320pm. Apparently it’s a minimum spend which is mentioned nowhere. But why do I need to pay my bill in advance?? I’ve never had such a request in any city? Or in fact for any previous bookings for my boss when she has met with clients. Needless to say 330 arrived and my table cancelled. So I won’t be using this place again, I certainly won’t be sending anyone for business meetings again. Goodbye
Lobster roll is always amazing.
I always love how the lobster is fresh and the roll bread is soft. It's a family favorite. My kids got the burger and it was great. They also got this pink Mocktail drink and they also were obsessed. They ordered two of them. Karen (server) was awesome and did a great job serving our table. Will be coming back!
Thus place was great! We loved the cocktails and the food
Thus place was great! We loved the cocktails and the food was outstanding! The liquor noted on the menu was not available and we were offered bottom shelf bourbon instead. Nevertheless, the old fashioned was delicious.
Best place in London
The Maine Mayfair it’s my favourite place in London, it had the most delicious food and the best part I love jazz music and the atmosphere it’s magnificent and service it’s 10/10, I couldn’t recommend enough. We always go there for special occasions and anniversaries because there isn’t any better place to go than The Maine.
Food was delicious! Service was excellent and the ambience
Food was delicious! Service was excellent and the ambience with the music made it special. Had a lobster and truffle Mac and cheese. My friend had linguine with lobster and shrimp.
Quality time with my girl
We were there at lunch time midday and we had such a delightful time. had amazing gin base cocktails in happy hours and wonderful starter and main all super nice. Staff very nice and friendly and outside is just beautiful
Good food, great entertainment, steep prices!
Great combination of good food and excellent entertainment - and that all in an intimate and stylish setting. But, like everything else in Mayfair, Maine Mayfair’s prices are steep - but one pays for the very professional jazz band and Cuban-inspired singer.
This place is absolutely amazing!!! We walked in without
This place is absolutely amazing!!! We walked in without reservation but they gave us table even restaurant was full. From the first minute we felt as special guests! Maira was serving us like we are her family! She answered to all the questions we had, gave good recommendations. Food was the best in London! Definitely recommend to everyone to get this experience
Absolutely delicious burger and lobster roll! The service
Absolutely delicious burger and lobster roll! The service was amazing. Wonderful ambience.
When I visited London, I came across so many Burger and
When I visited London, I came across so many Burger and Lobster locations. I had no idea what this chain of restaurants was or that they also have a location in New York but my stomach and taste buds were in for an amazing treat! Their serving sizes are huge and they are definitely worth trying so bring your appetite, as my plate was comprised of a burger, a piece of lobster, salad and fries. The lobster was cooked to perfection and the butter was flavorful. The burger was delicious as well. We sat at the bar area and had a really good server that gave us recommendations, as my friend did not wish to eat a burger and they had other options for her liking. I liked how spacious the place was and where it was located. I'd definitely visit again and order this same menu item.
Was a great place - fantastic cocktails and amazing food.
Wife and I had our first dinner in London here and had an amazing time!

Very tasty Lobster rolls with butter sauce that was amazing! Nice music beat as well and my wife loved truffle fries! Great location in Mayfair and not far from the park. Definitely worth a try if looking for burgers and lobsters!
Lovely Lunch
We loved The Maine with great service from Irina and excellent food. The fact that we could comfortably lunch outside on the terrace in the rainy English summer was perfect!
A great night out with the family at Maine.
Super atmosphere and very entertaining cabaret. The food was excellent and the wine list had something for everybody.
Excellent birthday celebration
Maine is a lovely place for a celebration - I booked a table for my husband’s birthday having visited previously for mine. The ambience, with the sparkling chandelier in the centre, and the band playing, add to that special feeling. The food is delicious - we opted for oysters and scallops for starters, with halibut and veal chops for main course. There is a good choice of wines by the glass and my husband was guided to try some lovely Italian wines by the sommelier. There is also a good choice of cocktails which I prefer. The service is good and although it’s not cheap it’s worth it if it’s for something special.
Was hungry and happened to be in the area when I saw this
Was hungry and happened to be in the area when I saw this as an option on Yelp. Went there around 4-5pm so place was quiet. Sat at the bar. The staff was friendly and got me situated promptly. Asked the bartender if lobster roll was a better choice than lobster Mac and cheese. He said the roll is a go to. Got the butter sauce with it instead of the spicy sauce. Overall, it was a great meal. Didn't try any cocktails while there. The food is also reasonably priced. The space is pretty nice. I'd definitely return when in the city again.
Asked for bar high table however they insisted on seating
Asked for bar high table however they insisted on seating family, including kids, at the bar. Overall fairly arrogant service that wasn't worth the hassle. Caters more to the after-work crowd. Would 10/10 avoid if you don't fit the back-to-office demographic.
Dinner at Maine Mayfair
Our evening at Maine Mayfair was spectacular, creating an unforgettable dining experience for us. The service was exemplary from the start to finish. Alessio was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, offering recommendations that truly enhanced our meal. We began with fish tacos and beef carpaccio. For our mains we chose the sea bass and sticky lamb chops and then we ended our meal with the apple tartin - the perfect finale. Every dish was prepared to perfection and made each bite a pleasure. The live entertainment consisting of a mixture of live band, singers and burlesque dancers enhanced the evening. Overall, our dinner at Maine Mayfair was a culinary delight. The combination of exquisite food, outstanding service, live entertainment and a romantic atmosphere made it a truly memorable evening for our wedding anniversary. We highly recommend Maine Mayfair for anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience.
Classy...
Incredible experience with great wine and atmosphere by the help of the professional staff. The menu should be enlarged though and more lobster dishes should be added to fulfill the brand name! Thank you again...
NOT RECOMMEND, NEVER AGING
First time visited the basement bar, one of the worst bars I've been to in mayfair!! Never again... horrible dead vibe, no cocktails, the way to the bar smell sooo bad, rude and unapproachable staff! DO NOT RECOMMEND! There much better place to go to in mayfair!
The Maine Myfair
I don’t write reviews quite often, but tonight experience was something fascinating and worth mentioning it. We went for dinner me and my wife. Just when we got in, Alessio took the responsibility of talking care of us till we left the this amazing restaurant. He was very kind and quickly responded to our requests, helped us with the order, and even moved us to a close table next to the musician. This place and for sure Alessio, will make me visit the place every time I go to London
A great evening at The Maine Mayfair
The staff was very knowledgeable and very kind and efficient, each plate was delicious, the live music and the show was very cool.
Worst service of any Mayfair restaurant. Good food though
Have never experienced such inconvenience in a high end restaurant before. We were made to wait (standing by the way) for 45mins for my birthday reservation (which I prepaid). The receptionist offered us a complimentary drink (the smallest glass of the cheapest wine by the way) which the bar manager was not happy at all to give out and insulted us about it. Also got charged for a birthday pudding (that we did not order) which is just ridiculous considering the bill size. Just awful service. Food is good though
Great dinner- we'll likely go back again during this trip.
The food was perfect and service was excellent.
Incredible, knockout evening
Meeting our old friends for dinner, we had this as the place to meet. Walking downstairs we heard the buzz, but were still not prepared for the amazing sight. Plush fabrics, huge chandeliers, live jazz band and many busy waiters. Whisked to our table, we immediately became part of it. My tuna tartare was so good, steak and fries, melted in the mouth. The live music and burlesque created an incredible atmosphere. What a night to remember.
They surved me pizza and chicken not burger and lobsters
They surved me pizza and chicken not burger and lobsters not happy I'm a Big lobster lover
A total delight!
We’d read good things about the Maine Mayfair and it didn’t disappoint. So nice to go somewhere where everyone has made an effort and adhered to the elegant attire dress code. The bar was so smart and lovely and warm on a freezing night, excellent cocktails and a nice atmosphere. The main restaurant was fabulous, smart decor, e fabulous layout so all the diners had a good view of the superb bands who entertained all evening. The music wasn’t too loud that one couldn’t talk, but so enjoyable in the background. Service was top notch, waiter so accommodating and the food was great. A real treat all round, I’d highly recommend it and have already booked to return.
Great service, ambience, and food.
There was no wait without a reservation on a Saturday at lunchtime. I would definitely go back.
My favourite restaurant in London
My favourite restaurant in London. You will always have a good night here! Service is impeccable, entertainment is incredible, food is delicious and you have to try their cookie dough dessert!
Incredible food experiences
I was in London for 4 days and I always tried good restaurants. But The Maine was beyond my expectation. The food was the best I’ve ever eaten in London. The ambience and the music were incredible. I’ll definitely visit this restaurant again. 5 stars ⭐️
What a hidden gem!
I had no expectation when booking our dinner here. Wow what a great fun surprise. It’s a multiple level spot with an unassuming entry. Once in though you’ll be treated to a fun atmosphere with a terrific live band with a Spanish theme and Celia Cruz tunes. Not so loud to impede conversation at the table. Food was excellent with options for my Gluten Free friend. Seafood is their specialty and fine to stick with or venture. i can’t recommend this place enough.
Maybe the best ever?
Amazing place. Night of the year. These people really care about your experience. Was blown away by the personality of all the guys. Ali, the maître d. Such a çok iyi bir insan. Cara downstairs was so lovely wanted to invite her to be a family member. Lovely man in the blue suit couldn’t have been nicer. So sorry I can’t remember your name ( check the pictures )Too many to mention. The band , the singer, the entertainment. The service the venue. You haven’t been out properly in Mayfair until you have been here. Our new favourite place. Not cheap. But you can’t buy class! Fantastic guys. Be back soon. Did I say fantastic! I didn’t say it enough. Thank you all. You make it very special.
Fantastic
Love it all from all dimensions Atmosphere Food Services Music Also the minimum charge give a chance to eat different dishes and enjoy the taste for many good recipes
Miguel was brilliant!
Miguel, our waiter, was absolutely brilliant. Super friendly, good sense of humour, extremely attentive and just an overall pleasure to be served by. Put our dessert on the house as it was my wife’s birthday. Food tasted amazing and quantity was great.
Mixed feelings………Great food & entertainment but poor service.
We’d heard great things about Maine and upon arrival were impressed by the decor and the live entertainment. The food didn’t disappoint, and with a pre paid £150 per person minimum I would have expected that to be the case. However what let the place down was their lack of attention to detail, such as, the low back chairs on the high tables, possibly the most uncomfortable chairs I’ve ever sat on, the wait for drinks, some of which didn’t turn up at all, having to ask for dessert menus 40 mins after finishing our main & the attitude of a couple of senior members of staff. One of whom did eventually apologise in fairness to him. Overall I wasn’t made to feel like my custom was appreciated unfortunately and when I’m forced to decide how much I’m spending before I’ve set foot in the place, it’s not just the quality of food that keeps you coming back, the service matters a great deal too. Especially when you factor in the price.
Great burger and fries! Service and atmosphere was even
Great burger and fries! Service and atmosphere was even better! Would definitely go next time we're there.

Top Shelf food at a VERY fair price for their Lobster
Top Shelf food at a VERY fair price for their Lobster mocktini and their selection of quality drinks. From the service to the staff. 12/10 Stars.
Best meal I've had in a long time, and excellent service.
Highly recommend the lobster tempura and lobster martini!!
Excellent food, staff and vibe.
Me and my friends had truly one of our best meal ever here at the MAINE Mayfair yesterday. Starting with a fantastic front of house team who created a great guests experience from the beginning, friendly and professional at the same time, making the MAINE Mayfair a perfect place to relax and enjoy our meal. We have been welcomed and shown to our table and looked after by Sam. We have been suggested and guided through the food and wine choices. Therefore we decided to go for different and multiple starters, mains, sides and desserts to share. It was the best option as allowed all of us to try different dishes. The service was smooth and very professional; The food was absolutely incredibly tasty, well presented and generous portions. I can’t remember last time I had such a great quality food. Thank you And well done to all the chefs in the kitchen! Our whole experience is something that we will never forget… thank you all, especially to our very kind and amazing Sam who provided us an excellent service full of attention to me and all my guests. We will certainly be back again and will let all our friends and families know how special this place is !! A gem in the heart of Mayfair Thank you for the best experience ever!
birthday dinner
I decided to have a a solo birthday dinner at the Maine and everything from the service to the live entertainment to the food was amazing. I recommend the seabass and the crispy fish taco. Everyone was so lovely and kind but I would like to mostly thank Sam who really made my evening amazing. He makes sure you’re well looked after and I’m certain I wasn’t the only person he attended too. So welcoming and gracious. Highly recommend asking for Sam. A birthday dinner I’ll never forget
This place was amazing best food we have had in London so
This place was amazing best food we have had in London so far and best service!!! We already want to go back lol I highly recommend I have never had lobster roll ,but it did not disappoint so fantastic I would recommend that as well:)
Saturday night
The place was beautiful with a fantastic vibe. The music and entertainment was excellent. Food was good although not the best I’ve had in a top class London restaurant. The service was hot and miss as the side dish of mushrooms with our main meal were obviously forgotten on our order and after asking twice where they were, eventually turned up when we half way through our mains. Our waitress was also slightly clumsy and out every dish which she also did not know the names of in front of wrong person. Not the sort of service I would expect in what is supposedly a top class restaurant. Also they were out of all the dessert wines barring two, again very poor for a top class establishment, I have given 4 stars mainly for the great entertainment and fabulous decor. The food I would give 3 stars to out of 5. I’m glad we went as it was a good experience but for the money there are far better London restaurants to dine in.
