Fantastic !!
What a lovely lunch. Beautiful service in a bustling restaurant with absolutely immaculate service and great food. It's got a lively, fizzy atmosphere - like a glass of good champagne. Perfect for Friday lunch.
Be the first to ReplyTasty food, great service , portions could be more generous. WOT no British Ale
Great lunch with friends. Had the fish of the day, bream with spinach , cherry tomatoes and French beans. The food was tasty but the amount of vegetables was very small. The service was attentive. Disappointing that this iconic British institution does not have a British ale on the menu, Come on Wolseley, support the Great British Brewer and the guests something that is truely British .
Be the first to ReplyToo quick service is not always good
We chose the fixed menu, but I don't think we should have done it. It meant that serving was very quickly and it was a bit stressful that the waiter came very often to give os more of the bottle of wine we had chosen, We got the experience that they would like us to finish as soon as possible, so this was not so nice an experience.

We booked this tea a couple of months ago based on all the hype. We have travelled to London before and had afternoon tea at The Dilly, Browns, and The Beaumont... All of which were better than The Wolseley. I am really disappointed overall... The atmosphere is noisy and crowded...the food was okay but nothing special, there is just nothing to love about it.
Be the first to ReplyDisappointing.
I was looking forward to visiting as I love breakfast, and The Wolseley is a bit of a breakfast icon. However, I was disappointed. The food was ok, but nothing too special. My coffee was lukewarm. Two small pieces of toast arrived to accompany the main breakfast. There was more butter than toast! The service was fine but not friendly. I was left with the impression that we were not wanted. Of course, being a Brit, I did not complain and paid the hefty service charge. However, I will not go again for breakfast.
Be the first to ReplyDodgy pricing—watch that cover charge—and poor food and service.
Beautiful building and “storied” restaurant. Food and service is poor. My server was unfamiliar with the menu, which reflects poorly on the management, not her, but she also poured wine into the water glass at the table next to me, so maybe a combo. There is a 2.50 service charge, that isn’t made clear in the booking form, so by the time you’ve seen it on the menu, you’re already sat at the table and it’s too late. There is also a 18+% service charge, which is really just The Wolseley being greedy on top of their exorbitant (even by central London standards)…there was no service to speak of. I had been looking forward to this and am searching for something positive…I guess the building is nice. Avoid—you can make a better schnitzel at home and not have a coverage charge or water in your wine. There are much better restaurants at a better price (and no cover charge) in central London.

The service, food and atmosphere were beyond my expectations- highly recommended. I managed to leave an item of clothing behind. Despite it being a Saturday night at their busiest time, when I subsequently phoned they could not be more helpful/proactive and it was returned to me. Outstanding customer service. It’s now my go to place and first recommendation to others. Well done Wolseley!
Be the first to ReplyWolseley's Dinner
We reserved a table for dinner to celebrate our Anniversary. We were given a wonderful table in the front booth. The food was delicious- we ordered from the special 3 course meals. My cheese soufflé was the best I have ever tasted. My husband ordered the fish and it was delicious, too. They gave us a dessert to celebrate. The restaurant is a traditional English Restaurant with good food.

I've been here a number of times and I've yet to be disappointed. Service is excellent. The decor and atmosphere is lovely, just so quintessentially English. The food is great, drinks are good - whether it's alcohol or hot tea etc. The private rooms upstairs are really something special. I definitely felt spoiled up there!
Be the first to ReplyAverage but very pricey.
Really expensive and not that special. We had brunch and the food was fairly average and very expensive. 15% service charge on top of high prices. I had bacon and pancakes and the bacon was cremated,you couldn’t cut it with a knife. My partner had omelette and toast,but they forgot to bring the toast. It arrived at the end of the meal after we had twice reminded the staff about it. Other friend and scrambled egg on toast,small portion. Overall nothing out the ordinary.

I love The Wolsley, but this is the second consecutive visit where things have not been perfect. All the food was good but my prawn and avocado salad was a little bland. But only a little. The real problem was that we had just finished our starters and they tried to serve the main, so had to wait while the plates were cleared. That shouldn't happen.
Be the first to ReplyLunch for two on a happy Friday
An excellent lunch. We both had the chicken schnitzel which was perfectly cooked. The side salad was delicious and the creamed spinach was tasty. Two Camparis and soda were absolutely great. Very quiet attentive service in a buzzy atmosphere. This place never fails to please.
Be the first to ReplyAppalling Service
Beautiful building with ambiance and a buzz. The food, when it eventually arrived, was excellent. However, the service was SO appalling that, despite trying to appease us with extra desserts, we complained and the service charge was removed. The waiting staff were very pleasant and professional, but there was clearly something amiss in the kitchen. What should have been a happy birthday celebration turned out to be a frustrating and unpleasant experience. What a shame. Nothing will persuade me to return.
Be the first to ReplyAvoid this place
We had a 2 hour lunch slot but after 1.5 hours the management started to hassle us to leave. We pointed out that we had another 30 minutes left but they still pushed to get us to go earlier. After another 10 minutes they got heavier in their hassling. This place used to be charming but now the interest is clearly in turning the tables as often as they can. There are lots of other excellent restaurants in the area where the food and service are good and the management considerably more charming and where one isn't subject to this kind of pressure. Avoid at all costs.
Be the first to ReplyGreat service
We have been to the Wolseley before and enjoyed it. This time was a special treat’ for our anniversary and in London. My husband had fish cakes which thoroughly enjoyed and I had kedgeree which was very good indeed. The service was unobtrusive and good. The atmosphere was lively and we left in a good mood. I left my gloves & the staff phoned me to say they would keep them until I retrieved them which they did. Smiles all around. Oh yes, i’ll be happy to return.

Historic building, perfect service from the doorman to the waitress and good food Battenberg cake to end the lunch 1st time 10 years ago and the quality standard is still high
Be the first to ReplyVery disappointed
I went with a friend today. We have been going for years. This was the first time we had been asked to leave the table. Firstly the table wasn't ready when we arrived then it took a while until we were given a menu. I realise that it was very busy but not certain if the people who were waiting had already booked or random off the street. However, we were still drinking our coffee when we were asked to vacate the table! Considering wlour bill was over £70 each this was very bad PR. The atmosphere isn't the same since it had been taken over and has lost its sparkle. Not special anymore. Certainly I won't be going back. A pity after being a client for many years.
Be the first to ReplyA truly beautiful Restaurant
I Had a full English breakfast With friends this morning The Service & food was first class as always. So convenient to Green Park, & Buckingham Palace.
Be the first to ReplyUnderwhelming. Nice ambiance.
Nice ambiance, but underwhelming on the food and cocktail front. Ordered: Pommes frites Broccolini - very smoky (presumably from grilling). Served with harissa. Chicken and dumpling soup - decent flavor. Served hot. Dumplings were nothing exciting. Arlington fish cakes - decent, but desperately needed salt and more spinach. To call this an “entree” would be a stretch. I’d order it as an appetizer. Comes with 3 fish cakes. Cocktails: Frumé - peppery, extremely watered down. This drink would have benefited from a large cube as opposed to multiple cubes. Seemed like an execution thing here. Towards the end of my drink, about 1/3 of my glass was filled with water. Sidecar - served up. Hardly any depth. Would describe it as one note. To note: 15% service charge added to your bill. Otherwise nothing phenomenal.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent food, fabulous atmosphere
Food was absolutely excellent, atmosphere was great. Our only complaint was our waitress. She was nice but not great. We were continuously out of drinks, done with dinner long before she asked about dessert.

Excellent restaurant. We asked classic afternoon tea, two Wolseley hamburger that were delicious. The service was so good. And the environment and the place were fantastic
Be the first to ReplyLike stepping back in time. Lovely breakfast. Definitely book.
I live in London but travel mainly and this has been on my list for a while. Finally came! Suggest booking especially for breakfast and peak times. Like stepping back in time, lovely. A different era. I literally felt like I was in an old movie! Take your time and enjoy the setting. I was greeted and seated promptly. Nice table. Clean. Good menu selection from eggs to porridge, smoothies, pancakes, specialities and more! They display calories too which is useful. I had an iced black americano and mango, banana & chia seed yoghurt pot. I didn't feel for anything substantial but the eggs most diners were having looked good! I couldn't fault the food or coffee. The yoghurt was creamy, well presented, fruity and very nice, unlike standard shop versions. The iced black americano was spot on. Food was served quickly. Service was good. In a lot of these places, service can be snobby or you are rushed. It can also be too attentive. Here the balance was perfect. I was left to sit and relax, look at the menu and then order. The table was allocated for one and a half hours and I enjoyed a nice breakfast. They provide a complimentary glass of water which again a lot of places don't do unless you ask. The atmosphere was lovely. I was offered a newspaper as well. I dined solo but was not made to feel awkward. Lovely. Look neat and smart. Not cheap as you would expect. However, it was a treat and I enjoyed my breakfast, the atmosphere and service. I would come back for tea.

If you wish to pay top prices but feel your being rushed like a fast food restaurant then this restaurant is for you… I will not be using again. I had the pleasure of having lunch in Scott’s the day before , worlds apart..
