The Wolseley in City of London, Westminster

Poor service, coupled with bland, expensive food, makes this restaurant one you can miss. The Sole was bland. The schnitzel dry and tasteless. My sister eats everything. Ive never seen her leave a morsel on her plate and she left half. The avocado salad with greens, was 1/2 and avocado cut into pieces with a few micro greens. I could go on, just go somewhere else. The only redeeming aspect was they brought out 3 wrong entrees at first and comped our salad.

We were so disappointed on my husbands birthday celebration. The steak was sent back twice as inedible. I asked to speak to a manager 3 times. Not one came to the table. Yes they finally took the steak off our bill but hardly an apology . We will no longer attend this pretend Wolseley after 15 years . Also his so called birthday cake was 2 small inch long tasteless cakes.

Just wanted to say thank you so much to Stan the Maitre D for helping me out of a jam tonight. You were so gracious and smiley and helpful. You are utterly fabulous at your job and I really appreciate you going above and beyond when I had made a stupid mistake. Thank you Stan, you saved the day

We went for afternoon tea and the experience was wonderful. From the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave. The selection of sandwiches and pastries is spectacular, as is the presentation and service, as well as the flavor. We'd like to highlight the attention and service of a waiter from Ukraine. We don't know his name, but he was very kind and attentive to us and our 2-year-old daughter. It's definitely worth it.

Tasting scones but not in the mood for a high tea? Choose the English cream tea. Delicious 👌. Reservations are a must here.

Restaurant located in Piccadilly , adjacent to Ritz Hotel. Great buzzing, elegant dining space. Very important to book in advance. Classic all day dining menu. Seafood and meat dishes all good. Traditional liver and bacon was delicious as were fresh prawns starter. Often a celeb out dining in the restaurant. It’s not cheap (£650 for 3 people ..3 courses, 2 bottles and cocktails. Plus tip). My 2 family guests were held up on a train and delayed 1.5 hours, but the staff kindly let me keep the table and were very understanding. Expensive , but still a great traditional London venue and dining experience.

Went for a breakfast meeting; the kedgeree was incredible, one of the best I’ve tasted; impeccable service from Julius too. Highly recommended.

My first "high tea" experience. This place was absolutely perfect!!! You must experience the great service, food/tea, and atmosphere.

The Wolseley is a well-known institution in London, known for its atmosphere Its luxurious, exceptional service and delightful cuisine. It is consistently highly praised, and my experience largely matches those positive reviews.

This is truly an impressive place that evokes a sense of old world charm. * Feels luxurious: The atmosphere is undeniably luxurious, making it an ideal choice for special occasions or a luxurious dining experience. * Feels romantic: the intimate and elegant atmosphere is well suited for romantic dinners. eater: * High-quality ingredients: the menu includes a wide variety of dishes, featuring fresh, high-quality ingredients. * Well-executed classics: While some may find the menu a bit predictable, the classic dishes are executed with precision and skill. * Expensive but worth it: The prices are on the high side, but the quality of the food and the overall dining experience justify the cost. Service: * Impeccable service: The service is consistently praised for its attention, professionalism and efficiency. * Friendly and knowledgeable staff: The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and eager to help with any question or request. Other notable features: * Excellent for breakfast: The Wolseley is especially known for its breakfast service, which is highly appreciated by many diners.

Like many others here, I found the experience OK, but disappointing and over-priced. The atmosphere is vibrant/ noisy and the decor opulent, but the food was very mediocre and expensive for what it was. The problem wasn't so much with the way it was cooked, which was generally good, but with the quality of the ingredients themselves. I had the crab starter which was as bland as anything and, had I been blindfold, I wouldn't have been able to say what it was at all. My main course was lamb which was perfectly cooked and nicely presented, but was chewy and tasteless.

Nice location and restaurant but the food and service weren't great. Went for the cream tea, the scones were not good at all (too heavy and overcooked/burnt on the bottom and top). The tea was not enough for even a full cup each and we had to ask for more. Not was expected for the reputation

My partner and I were tourists in London. After a lot of research, we decided to go with the Wolseley for our special Afternoon Tea reservation. I’m so glad we did because I can’t recommend it enough. From the moment we walked through the door we had beautiful service. The space is beautifully decorated with high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows, making it light and bright. It’s certainly not a sleepy atmosphere - on the contrary it was quite bustling which gave a feel for the “London” cityscape experience. Even so we never felt rushed and really appreciated the second plate of savories they brought out to us. I also have to mention THE SCONES. It has been 7 months since our visit and I still dream about them, along with the clotted cream and jam. They are literally the best scones I’ve ever had in my life. I can’t wait to return!

Had a lovely birthday brunch with family, food was excellent and at a very reasonable price for the quality. Would 100% come again.

I had high hopes for the food and thought it would be really good but it was just "ok" l had a the set menu but regardless of this the food could have been better. The goulash lacked flavour and the cauliflower soup was just like eatting a bowl of fatty cream. The waitress also kept coming over to try and take our bowls when we had not finished to the point that l had to say... "are we slow eaters?" the decor is beautiful but the price of the food isn't justified. My desert was £13 and l would have got better from Mark's and Spencers.

Really lovely breakfast treat for Mother’s Day, the food was lovely, the staff and atmosphere were great. I always love the decor and the whole experience at the Wolseley.

This is a restaurant that I love celebrating with family and friends! I come back over and over again !

4.5/5 - this is my dream atmosphere, hands down. My husband gave his food a 3.5 but I gave mine a 4.5 so we settled on 4. Lovely teas, coffee, and it's a great spot to have breakfast. Their prices are changed from when I took the menu picture but that's the gist of their options!

An unforgettable afternoon tea experience: quality table, excellent service, unlimited mini sandwiches, an incredible moment

Yum! Everything was good, both food and coffee. Banana bread is a must!

Breakfast @ The Wolseley was delicious and fancy. A great way to start the day! I recommend the Crispy Bacon Wrap with the Fried Egg

What a beautiful and delicious Saturday we had.

Super old school breakfast. Love it.

I had afternoon tea, and the tea, cake, scones, and sandwiches were all very, very delicious. I don't really like tea and I don't know much about it, so I drank jasmine tea recommended by a staff member and it was really delicious. The staff are also very friendly. When I came alone and asked to take a picture, he happily did so haha. I was planning on eating it alone, so there was a lot left over, but if I asked him to wrap it up, he would wrap it nicely in a high-quality shopping bag! They added a little more as a service. Thank you so much :> Next time, I want to try eating. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have afternoon tea <3

Tea at the Wolseley is always a great experience. The food is top notch in quality and quantity. The service is just right - attentive and friendly without being overly so. The setting is beautiful. What's not to rave about.

We made a reservation for afternoon tea at 3:30 and arrived at 3:11. They guided us to the guests who came later than us, but we told them that they didn't show us until after 3:40, and they said they would check, and only then did they giggle with the staff member next to us and say they would call us soon. I went in and it was very noisy. Then I ordered afternoon tea, but the food didn't come out for an hour, so I was nervous about having to go to my next schedule. I also inquired with the staff and left about 15 minutes later, but I was too hungry to eat because of the time. I opened the lid of the scone to take a picture, but I took it away. I saw on the blog that it was refillable once, but I took the entire plate without saying anything. Aside from everything else, I was so disappointed that the reservation time was not kept and the food came out late, so I was notified of a service charge. A place I will never go to again.

Everything was great, but the lady at the reception desk upset us with her arrogant and insulting attitude.

A bit on the touristy side, but worth a visit for the stunning central location. Informal yet polite service and a well-rounded international menu make it a solid pick for a relaxed meal in the heart of London.

I visited because I could make a same-day reservation. Even though I made a reservation, it was crowded because there were a lot of people. The taste was good and the atmosphere was nice. I ordered one afternoon tea and one breakfast tea and we both ate them together. However, the order was missed and came out late, and the payment was 60 pounds, but I ended up paying 80 pounds. It's not good because there are a lot of mistakes. I checked later and left an inquiry, but there was no reply.

Amazing service coupled with great food! An iconic building too

Do you want to be humiliated? Then go there. The server is so rude. When I was leaving, a lady server stoped me and ask me loudly “did you pay?” Just this three words, in the middle of the way, loudly. Of course I paid. That’s so rude. She should have a thousand ways to ask, but she used the rudest one. And I told her you can check my table on your computer, she repeated again “did you pay?” Still loudly and no other words. She didn’t notice I ask for checking bill, and she also didn’t notice I pay for the bill. So her job basically is humiliating customer. I never been treated like this before.

Great cafe. I went there for breakfast and was greeted by friendly and attentive staff throughout the meal. Ordered the eggs Benedict which was delicious. I also ordered a pain au chocolat, it was very nice, however would have liked option to be warmed. The cappuccino I order wasn’t great coffee which was a shame.

Excellent dining experience with a level of professional service second to none. Food was exceptional a d exceptionally fresh. Worth every penny

I had the English breakfast and it was delicious. It was incredibly filling. I tried the black pudding for the first time and it wasn't for me but for those who like it, I think it was made beautifully. I had the best tea in London here

Had breakfast here very recently. My second visit but the first for my friends who loved the decor and atmosphere. My only slight issue was that the waitress, spoke very quietly, didnt explain well and misunderstood one of our orders. Although a minor issue we would definitely return, a real gem. You must book ahead to get youf preferred timings.

Always love the Wolseley, it never disappoints.

Went today for my birthday breakfast which was (as usual ) - amazing! The service is fantastic & special shout out to Claudia , who was lovely- Many thanks for my birthday donut - lovely surprise!

Our group had a wonderful evening at The Wolseley, where the mix of grand European café charm and a lively atmosphere made for a memorable experience. Service was quick, staff were friendly, and the entire dining experience felt effortless. We started with the Chicken Liver Parfait and Classic Prawn Cocktail, both well-prepared and full of flavor. The Steamed Short Rib Pudding was rich and comforting, while the Roast Fillet of Turbot ‘Grenobloise’ was perfectly cooked. The House-made Gnocchi offered a great vegetarian option, light yet satisfying. To round things off, the Crème Brûlée was perfectly caramelized, and the Chocolate & Salted Caramel Tart was a decadent finish.

I am so glad we visited The Wolseley during our first trip to the UK. The restaurant interior is very classic and beautiful. The service was great, we didn’t wait long for our food even though restaurant was very busy. Food was amazing! Cant wait to come back!

I’m very partial to the Wolseley no matter what they say and through how many hands it passes down. They have a robust wine list still and their breakfast are a still a number. They are probably one of the few in London that still understand the ways and means of a Maître d'hôtel. Gigondas - my favourite from the list of all reds - you’ll find here. They’ll give you some nibbles out of courtesy and good taste and despite closing nearing, they’ll not rush you. Soutine from the same brand had it from a different Château, but off the menu. Probably Colbert has one of it now but I’m a Bermondsey Soho relevant, so can’t be bothered to travel.

A Restaurant where you feel special. We went for breakfast. Since we did not have a reservation, we could not sit at the main entrance. There is a large area like a glass room on the side, we sat there. We asked if there was a place at the front, but the waiter said he would look into it, but did not respond to us positively or negatively. We didn't mind and asked for the menu. For breakfast, we ordered French toast and salmon eggs benedict. The flavors were amazing, truly the best I've ever eaten. We ordered English tea on the side. Dinnerware, cutlery and especially the tea set were silver. This makes people feel special. Since it was the morning of my wife's birthday, when we asked the waiter to take a photo of us so that we could remember it, he first ignored us and finally took our photo with a bored expression. Everything was very nice except the waiter's attitude. We paid 55-60 pounds in total for 2 people. Prices are above average, but can be preferred for beautiful moments.

The afternoon tea was nice, but we booked for 2:45 pm via OpenTable (which allowed us to book at this time for afternoon tea) only to arrive and then be told it's only served from 3:30 pm. The person at the front desk told us we'd have to rebook for 3:30, or have lunch instead. Pretty ridiculous, given it was my partner's birthday (which showed on the booking) and I'd booked far in advance. Nobody who's booked for a birthday afternoon tea is going to rebook for a lunch instead, are they? We then had to wander around aimlessly for 45 minutes, and we also had to rush our afternoon tea to get home for our puppy. I'm sure it's possible to fix this booking issue, but if not, it's The Wolseley's responsibility to check reservations in advance and call people if the booking they've made isn't actually possible. Could've done with some money off for the 45 minute delay but that wasn't offered either.

My first time at The Wolseley in Piccadilly. I took a friend to lunch there, as a birthday treat. It’s a lovely restaurant, with a Viennese feel to the food and décor. We were sat at a window seat, and the whole experience was high quality. The food was wonderful, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a very nice atmosphere. I especially enjoyed the kedgeree. We will definitely return in the near future.

A jewel of London’s dining scene, The Wolseley blends grand European café culture with impeccable service. From the indulgent Wolseley Full English and delicate Viennoiserie at breakfast to the rich Kedgeree and expertly prepared Steak Tartare, every dish is a nod to tradition. Seafood lovers will appreciate the Seafood Platters, while the Afternoon Tea—featuring perfect scones and finger sandwiches—should not be missed. For a refined yet welcoming experience, The Wolseley never disappoints.

Came to the place for breakfast on a weekday. We were given a corner seat even when other seats were empty. The place wasn’t full and I could have easily reserved for the time as it was available on the website. We ordered the pancakes and the eggs Benedict, the bread for the benny as well as the pancakes were dry and seemed stale and not freshly made. The Irish coffee was the only saving grace here. I wanted to give the feedback to the chef but no one came to check on us or ask on how we enjoyed the food. There are countless great places in London that I’d rather visit. (photo below taken before having the first bite when we were still quite optimistic of the experience).

This might be the best place for high tea in all of London. The menu is superb, the service is on point, and the ambiance is top tier. It's a bit pricey, but if you've never done afternoon tea in the city, I can't imagine a better place to do it.

Classic british experience, little mark up on prices considering the location and ambience. Would highly recommend for breakfasts.

Nice atmosphere but prices are high.

Well located and great for those who want afternoon tea

Warning: California/Oregon Native here so this review will have a west coast American bias. We went to The Wolseley for afternoon tea on our first day in London. My wife had been there several years ago and wanted me to experience it. We both did the CLASSIC AFTERNOON TEA. I selected the English Breakfast Tea and my wife went with Earl Grey. Both were brewed perfectly and served in the cutest kettles. Almost all the Kettles we saw around us were unique/different which I thought was a lot of fun. If you have never done afternoon tea it's definitely something you should experience. The clotted cream with scones was just amazing and paired perfectly with tea. The small sandwiches were mostly good. I wasn't a fan of the onion one, but the cucumber, salmon, and egg were all excellent. Our least favorite bits were the desserts, but they were okay. Just not something I would specifically go back for. I'd take more scones and clotted cream to be honest. If you're going to go for Afternoon Tea in London, 10/10 would recommend going here. You won’t be disappointed.

Enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner here and the staff treated us like royalty from start to finish. Glamorous setting with delicious food. A special thank you to Laurel who gave us amazing service.

Has become a little overpriced, but still a wonderful place to go. Beautiful surroundings, great service, old school glamour.

Our first afternoon tea in London and a recommendation that should definitely be passed on. On weekends we recommend making a reservation in advance. The ambience is upscale, the service is stylish and courteous and what is on offer is of excellent quality.

Staff should note: Never give the bill while customer is eating.

Amazing experience, make sure to get the french toast!

I’m not one to complain, but the service was certainly not one you’d expect for a high-end restaurant. The waiter was slow, forgot to bring us our drinks, and generally took a very long time to do anything; even their manager noticed and came to apologise. To be charged 15% for the non-existent service wasn’t good either. Even my guest commented negatively on the service (which was embarrassing for me, as I suggested the venue). The place was also incredibly crowded and loud, too. Honestly, I wouldn’t go back.

I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Sevice was excellent.

Both the atmosphere and the breakfast were wonderful. From the welcome to the farewell, they were always friendly and welcoming.

We had wedding dinner here in 2012 and been coming back every year, and never disappoints, staff are great, food fantastic…

Took my husband here for their English breakfast. Beautiful classic environment and great service. Absolutely love it.

They said they would give me one because the fork was gone, but they didn’t give it to me. The bread tastes so good. It tastes so good.

Truly wonderful experience. The food tasted beyond exquisite. However, I found the latte disappointing. It tasted like a strong cappuccino.

One of the most incredible places to have a breakfast. Real good atmosphere and food.

A wonderful experience due to being in a beautiful setting/building. We were in one of the raised areas with a view over the restaurant. Great food (a little expensive for the fish dishes) and great service. Appreciated and recommended.

We went for the afternoon tea, I would say its one of the best valued teas in London. It was the full afternoon tea experience at half the cost of most places. The food and tea were great, and its in a beautiful room, I would highly recommend!

Two people can order and share afternoon tea. Looking at the table next to me, it looks like the leftovers are being packaged as well, so take note. I was very satisfied with both the atmosphere and service. We recommend visiting after making a reservation. To use the bathroom, go through the door under the clock across from the entrance and go down the passage.

Great place with so much character. Service was excellent. My friends said the full English was okay but I had the Worseley fishcakes with poached eggs and hollandaise which was fantastic.

All around very good! Food was very good (although salad was tasteless). Service friendly and prompt. Atmosphere amazing.

Overall, the experience was good, and the ambiance was enjoyable. However, most of the staff seemed to assume that guests were already familiar with the concept and how everything works. It would have been much better if they provided a bit more guidance and explanation, especially for first-time visitors.

Quite unforgettable British breakfast experience !

Beautiful, elegant place. The service was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was delicious, beautifully presented. I will definitely come back here when I'm in London again!

Had breakfast at this lovely spot where the receptionist gave a fascinating rundown of the place’s history, complete with photos since 1920. The food was delicious and high quality definitely worth a visit!

Such a lovely atmosphere with nicely prepared tasty food. Will definately need another visit.

Just had an afternoon tea at the Wolseley. Obvious the place is stunning and the staff were attentive to almost removing plates from beneath your hands, but, the price is not what the menu suggests. When the bill came VAT at 20% is added to the price. Followed by a 15% service charge - adding a total of £60 to the bill. Be warned.

It was the best place to experience British creamy culture. I think it would be good to make a reservation and the staff was friendly. The interior was very delicious and I was able to have a good time thanks to it.

Great people watching and a traditional venue. Good classic British food. Excellent afternoon tea.

Min farvorit restaurant i hele verden. Fantastisk stemning og som om man kommer tilbage til 30’erne. Meget opmærksomme og søde tjenere. Maden er desværre faldet i i kvalitet gennem de 10 år jeg er kommet på The Wolseley, men er fortsat god, men desværre ikke fantastisk mere. Man skal klart spise her hvis man er i London, det er fortsat en stor oplevelse

First things first it’s a fabulous room. Like those old school French brasseries at the railway stations. Very grand. Really good and extensive menu too. Service was brilliant throughout. My problem was that my food was a big disappointing. Might have just chosen poorly. Bubble and squeak, wild mushrooms with a duck egg sounded wonderful. Still does. Unfortunately the bubble was a bit tasteless so effectively mash potato. The mushrooms were like rubber bullets and it was swimming in some kind of thin dark sauce. Flavour unknown? Duck egg was great though. That dish needs rethinking. It was a better than average experience due to all the other elements but can’t give it very good unfortunately.

Over the years Ive walked past the Wolseley many times, often wondered what it was like and after having dinner I can say it was worth the wait,, we booked for 7.30 on the 12th, when we arrived it was very noise and we seriously thought about cancelling, We mentioned this at reception and were offered a table in one of the quiet rooms, thank you.. it was really appreciated and much much quieter. The food was lovely. Mrs KT is a vegetarian and opted for the bubble and squeak with a ducks egg but wanted the egg well done and not runny. When it arrived she said it was cooked to perfection. I had the Sea Bream, again it was cooked to perfection. We chose sparkling water with out meal but if you do want wine it is reasonably priced. Our server was great and the service was excellent, we didnt feel rushed and when we wanted to pay it was quick and efficicient. Cant really add much else except to say we will be back.

We visited the restaurant, and overall, the food and service from the waitstaff left a good impression. However, upon entering, we had an unpleasant experience: the hostess and administrator spoke rudely and with a dismissive attitude. This left a negative first impression, which does not match the level of the establishment. I hope the management takes note of this, as the experience at the entrance sets the tone for the entire visit.

We loved it; In London the best to eat in the tourist area, the varied menu and excellent service, always a waiter who speaks Spanish. Ask for Natalia.

The restaurant is a London classic, perfect for various types of situations. The food is tasty the atmosphere at times sparkling the clientele quiet. In few words, a place you can count on. And when something unexpected happens, just turn to Domenico who arrives smiling and caring and in a moment with his elegance and sweetness solves everything. Thank you Domenico for turning my birthday dinner with special friends into a beautiful memory!

Expensive but worth it for service and food

It’s a glamorous restaurant, food is fantastic even though a bit pricey, service is superb especially Mr Antonio who makes us feel so relaxed and comfortable to enjoy the meal

We have our breakfast at this cafe on the 10/02/2025. We were being served by Antonio(Italian Waiter), who were very friendly and helpful. He even get his team to prepare a congratulation pastry for baby Ezra who are 3 months old. Food, drinks and environment are fantastic. Thanks Antonio for the excellent recommendation and hospitality

Amazing food, even better service, now this place is class. The simple scrabbled egg on sour dough toasted bread, which I order before the French Toast, regularly. if you read my reviews regularly you know why! It was tremendous, you just taste the soft, buttery, creamy, luxuriously simple scrambled eggs wonderfully toasted with sour dough one of the best scrabbled eggs on toast I’ve had. Left me speechless. Now the French Toast woaw again these top places, it had the perfect balance came with berries some jam not to sweet and maple syrup that topped of a great breakfast. Busy breakfast day very popular place but while still feeling a sense of privacy liked it a lot my sort of place perfect London atmosphere, reserve.

Thank you Antonio for creating an unforgettable breakfast experience for my family during our leisure visit to the city of London. Great atmosphere and delicious food. It is quite an establishment with history, so expect to spend a little.

Beautiful environment, very good food and very attentive staff

Worth a visit the afternoon tea is good and the price is ok for what you get. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. It does get very busy so you must book.

My partner and I went here for breakfast and it was very disappointing. Whilst the staff were pleasant the food was cold! My partner had salmon & scrambled eggs and the toast was rock hard. Not acceptable for the prices they are charging.

An excellent place with excellent service and high quality food. A lot of the items are made with wine and me and my husband do not eat pork or drink alcohol and they put in great effort to serve us a dish without alcohol, the waiters are absolutely amazing - very kind and I would come back again just for the service of the waiters, very thankful for the effort-filled experience! Please appreciate your waiters! The doorman was also very kind, his smiles to us made our night! Please thank him for us!

Came here for the classic English breakfast. Eggs Benedict were really good and a must have. However the tea could be better and the avocado toast had too much lemon. I would recommend getting the hot chocolate. Service was good and attentive. Overall a good classic English breakfast experience however it’s in the pricy range so be prepared.

Nice place I appreciated the welcome given to me. The servers who took care of me were all kind and warm. The afternoon tea really made me happy, it was plentiful and good. I will go back THANKS Ps: you still have to think about booking because there were lots of people

Super place, super food, very good service. It was full of people, good atmosphere, very good location.

Since it was our first time in the UK, we felt that trying the famous afternoon tea was a must. However, the experience fell short of our expectations in several aspects—food, tea, service, and atmosphere. Starting with the food, it was decent but not particularly memorable. We had seen reviews mentioning unlimited servings, but that wasn’t the case for us. The selection included sandwiches, scones, and a few desserts, along with a single pot of tea without refills. The scones were fine—perhaps slightly better than what you’d find at Starbucks—but nothing exceptional. The sandwiches were underwhelming, and while the desserts were enjoyable, they weren’t particularly impressive. As for the service, there wasn’t much to comment on, as it was practically nonexistent. Since we’re in Europe, we didn’t have high expectations for service, so this aspect wasn’t particularly surprising. The biggest letdown, however, was the atmosphere. The space was incredibly crowded, with tables placed so closely together that it was difficult to have a conversation without overhearing those around us. We were also seated at the very back, which didn’t contribute to a particularly pleasant experience. That said, given the price point, this was one of the more affordable “luxury” afternoon tea options in London. While we had hoped for a more enjoyable experience, we recognize that it offered a relatively accessible way to try this tradition. However, considering the overall quality of the food, setting, and service, it didn’t feel like great value for money. Overall, we’d give it three stars.

Beautiful atmosphere but breakfast service on 31 January had a lot to be desired. We were served by 4 (!) different waiters including a pushy waitress with a pony tail who jumped in and interrupted her male colleague to take over even he had already taken half of our order. Very embarrassing and unprofessional, the poor guy was bullied by her in front of customers. The finesse of this place seems to have evaporated.

The afternoon tea sandwiches are soggy and disappointing. It’s better to get the cream tea. The atmosphere is beautiful tho!

A beautiful restaurant located in the vibrant, busy & lively Piccadilly! We stopped to take our chances to find a table and managed to snag the small round 2-top tucked away in the window nook near the host area. It was jam packed and service was understandably tough to get. I ordered a beer and the wife ordered tea. Everything good but would have loved to stay for a proper dinner at a (bigger) table. Next time - reservations!

It was the best cafe I've been to in London. I liked it so much that I went there twice while traveling in London. The eggs benedict was really delicious, and I was especially impressed by the French toast. It was the best French toast I've ever had. In addition, it was a really classy and luxurious atmosphere, and the gentle staff made it a memorable and happy time. I will definitely go there again when I come to London.

I love this great restaurant though today the waiter was dreadful so very rude and almost as if he was serving in the streets of Phuket! Shall not again risk being served by him! Errr I
