Wood panelling and soft light frame a Mayfair institution where grass-fed British beef, dry-aged and char-grilled, arrives without pretense or flourish. The Guinea Grill endures because it understands that a great grill room need not perform tradition—it simply lives it, backed by service as assured and unshowy as the meat itself.
