Best Restaurants for Birthdays in East Finchley/Finchley/North Finchley

I had an excellent meal. Great German food. Excellent, very attentive service.

We go every year for afternoon tea at landmark. The food was very tasty particularly the apple and cinnamon scone, however the coronation chicken was not nearly as lovely as it has been previous years. Really nice they come out with more sandwiches and you can pick and choose which extra ones you wanted. Previously you used to be able to choose what jams you wanted and they had a really nice unusual selection. They have done away with that and now can’t choose and get some chocolate sauce which is tasty but strange on a scone and not very traditional. Pastry selection was lovely. Service was very attentive and nice to be allowed to change the tea we got on the second round, also gave us extra jam and cream when we asked. My mum is a pescatarian and intolerant to cucumber which we warned them about well in advance and unlike previous years where she got other veg sandwiches they just gave her double of the other two. They didn’t make any extra effort to provide her with different options which for the price, and considering they have done that every other year was disappointing. Overall service this year really good and better than last year but food not as good. Overall it seems like every place like this where every year things slip a little.

Thank you to the wonderful staff at the Ivy Marylebone for looking after us so well. Despite the place being so busy our food came on time and beautifully prepared. The welcome was warm and professional. It is a special brasserie.

We have been here more than a few times and The Orrery never fails to amaze. Three perfectly-proportioned courses, accompanied by great wines, delivered by lovely staff. Thoroughly recommended!

Nice little surprise. Booked last minute as everything was full, run up to Xmas. This place was quiet and spacious. You could have a decent conversation. Tables well spaced out. Food wasn't high end but good value for money. A great little find. Would come again.
