I often go to Palm Court when visiting London, perhaps 4 or 5 times a year. I just love this place. The ambiance is great, and the food is always spot on and excellent value for central London. I also like that the staff seem relatively unchanged so it must be a decent place to work also.

I like everything: the atmosphere, the friendly staff, the delicious food. I like that the menu is small, but there is food for every taste. I highly recommend the mushroom risotto and fondue for dessert - it has become my and my customers' favorite.
