My boss took myself and another colleague out for lunch here before we joined and we were very impressed with the venue - stunning. It is formal and the prices reflect this. Service is good, decent menu but nothing spectacular. Huge wine lust, mostly French. I would take someone there if I wanted to impress them but not for a... More

The restaurant is located in the Royal Exchange which is quite lovely overlooking the ground floor bar and upmarket shops. Starter excellent but the beef main was served raw and cold. I know that beef is best served rare but this was raw and therefore inedible. I could not even cut the pieces as very sinuey. The accompanying potatoes were... More

Dear Sir, I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your main course on your recent visit to Sauterelle. It was our intention to serve the onglet of beef medium rare when served to a large group, I am sorry to hear that we failed on delivering it properly to you, at no point should it have been... More

The location and venue is brilliant - inside the old Royal exchange. Food was very good except for steak that was tasty but tough. Service was very good. Seems all in our group enjoyed the night out.

Okay the summary - Not given the set lucheon menu upon arrival - calculated and deliberate I'm sure. I'm not the first one to comment upon this tactic. Wine list a litte weighted towards those on accounts......not a bad thing but for those paying themselves, don't alienate honest diners paying £60-70 for lunch on their own! We sometimes come back...

Taken here by two wonderful friends last week. Food was first class, service a little obsequious, views down to the floor were wonderful. Halibut with razor clams were sublime although a tad minuscule for this glutton. Guinness bread was a revelation. I will be going back!

First time. Did not know quite what to expect and was surprised. The food was excellent and the service faultless. The location makes it really convenient.

Fantastic location, ruined by cramming too many tables in and a very mediocre level of service (which included one of us getting the wrong main course). It's sloppy, uninspired and definitely one to avoid.

My colleague and I had a wonderful dinner at Sauterelle a couple of weeks ago. We both work in the Hospitality industry, and so it was lovely for us to experience such wonderful service and food on this occasion. The location has a lot of charm and character and although I would think the restaurant itself could do with a... More

Great location overlooking Royal Exchange floor. Had an early dinner at 6.30- they start at 6 so quite quiet. Excellent table and cooking. We both had fish , and first class, very impressive. Interestingly, waiter was slow with the wine - and that is a first. Prices high, with starters over £10, and mains over £20 , but London prices.
