the food in the grill is excellent... and they served a surprise amuse geule as well as a sorbet... the wine list is kind of limited and I hope that it will grow to include some burgundy and some mid range enjoyable wines would like to see a wider variety of bread

Had an excellent dining experience and looking forward to visiting them today with good friends. Loved how they prepare some of the dishes at your table and the food was excellent. Didn't like the escargot though as I've had better.

Remember dinners with your parents? This reminds me of traditional restaurants we used to go to in hotels for special occasions. It is not cheap and it is not exciting but it is exactly what it promises and it delivers on very level. The service was excellent, we all enjoyed our steaks and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

This is an excellent European style restaurant. If you are craving steaks, etc (or like us, felt like you had almost burned your lips off with the local Sri Lankan food the night before), this is a good choice. Be aware, it is quite expensive relative to the other places at the Cinnamon.

This fine dining restaurant at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel is placed in the basement. Good value for money for food but the wine is somewhat pricey. Our mixed grill platter which included a good amount of beef, lamb and seafood was very well done. Our Irish coffee was made at the table and was excellent. The staff was friendly and... More

We recently stayed at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel for the second time and we chose to have dinner at The London Grill....again! We had a fabulous experience the first time and this time was as good. Food is very good, service is impeccable, ambience is very cozy and the piano player was great as well. Would recommend this to everyone... More

The service here was not the best in te hotel but the experience was good. We arrived late, after 10pm and they weher happy to serve us. Although it is suposed to be the Lonodn Grill, it was not a top rate London UK Grill. I would eat in any of the other restaurants before chosing this one.

This is not the place for adventurous eating but it is high quality in all respects. A very civilised last meal in Sri Lanka before an early start the next morning to fly back to UK.
