We were looking for a relaxed reliable Sunday brunch in a central location where family members could gather from various directions. Grind was perfect -- busy but not too busy, polite attentive service and delicious food served quickly. The surroundings are clean and attractive, within a minute's walk of the public transport hub at Liverpool St, and handy for a browse in nearby Spitalfields market afterwards. Recommended.

We had an absolutely fantastic lunch here. The server was incredibly polite and attentive, which paired perfectly with the outstanding quality of the food. We tried the lunch set, which was exceptional value and beautifully prepared. We also ordered the sesame prawn hash—which was packed with flavor and expertly cooked—and the Aberdeen Angus sirloin. While the steak took a little time to prepare, it was cooked to absolute perfection and undoubtedly worth the wait. Overall, this restaurant delivers top-tier food and hospitality. We highly recommend it and will certainly be returning!

We dined here for the first time on Friday 23rd October prior to our visit to Sadlers Wells theatre. WE booked early, 17:00 so the restaurant was quiet. By the time we left it was busier. Service was friendly and efficient and the food was excellent. We will definitely be going back.

Had a lovely lunch here on a weekday. Simple menu (pasta, sandwiches) which was delicious and well made, as well as some daily specials (we had the pork cassoulet). Staff were all friendly and helpful and service was very good.

As the Hound of Holborn, I probably ought to have a view on the best restaurant in Holborn. For my money, it is the Holborn Dining Room at the Rosewood. The place oozes old-hotel grandeur: dark wood, leather, brass and that slightly theatrical sense of occasion which makes you want to settle in rather than rush through dinner. The service is invariably impeccable and the food consistently excellent. But the real reason I keep coming back is the pies. I have a considerable weakness for pie and mash, and I have yet to find a posh version that beats theirs. Proper pastry, generous fillings, excellent mash and gravy — comforting food given the full five-star-hotel treatment without losing sight of what makes a pie worth eating in the first place. The rest of the menu is superb, but I find it remarkably difficult to come here and order anything else. Given its location, for me this tends to be somewhere for lunch or dinner with colleagues, fellow solicitors and professional contacts rather than a family outing. For that sort of meal it works particularly well: smart enough to feel like an occasion, but still comfortable enough to have a proper conversation over good food. Is it expensive? Of course it is. You’re eating at the Rosewood. Nobody walks through those doors expecting a Big Mac and chips. I cannot really fault it. One of Holborn’s finest, certainly worth a visit and, for me, the home of London’s best posh pie and mash.

We were served by Laura who was very friendly. Our visit was a birthday gift for our Son who had watched a programme on TV. He did the Beef Wellington experience and by the time he had finished all three courses - was in a very happy food coma. A memory which will live with him always. Cannot fault any of the food.
