Wiltons in City of London, Westminster

Thoght I would try here after a recent dining experience at Bentleys nearby both seafood restaurants. Contrast was mainly in the service, appreciated Wiltons attentiveness and experts in the dining experience but even more so no upselling. A pleasant 4 courses where I asked for temperature on truffled oysters and was giventhe reason for being served warm but not hot, great and a delicious souffle with stilton, as well as fine fish soup and fresh hot breads.

As always, the service was fabulous. The room is classic Brit. The Dover Sole was dependably terrific. You can hear your table mates without shouting. It is a must for me in London

Fabulous evening in Wilton’s private dining room. Stunning service from start to finish. The private dining room is traditional elegance. The food is perfectly executed. The wine choice is excellent. The whole experience is curated excellence. We left knowing we had had a very special experience.

One of the best in London - amazing food, service and ambience

We regularly dine here when in town It was so good to see so many familiar members of staff a special shout out to the somellier who recommended an excellent wine for us Service and etiquette is paramount here but the food is wonderful too Loved the cheese souffle and halibut and my wife loved the lobster and the caramel dessert All In all a lovely experience

The Wiltons restaurant was an elegant and traditional experience. The customer service from the staff was excellent. We were also pleased with our meal. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Truly the best. Class style and food. Accept no imitations.

A special restaurant. Outstanding food and service. Congratulation.

Being over 280 years old, at Wilton’s they very well know how to make of a supper a real British experience. The menu is exceptional, recently with a new degustation menu, which I strongly recommend, things got even better. The staff is polite, friendly and elegant since reception, cocktails well prepared and a fine wine list. Make sure you dress up.

Birthday celebration. Had a lovely meal and the staff were helpful. I would recommend this restaurant.

10 out 10 for everything, favourite lunch spot in London One of my very very favourite restaurants in the world The very best of English quality restaurants

My third visit at this fabulous restaurant where you feel pampered and spoiled from the exact moment in which you step in. We had a pleasant chat with the barman preparing us two delicious mocktails. After few minutes we were accompanied to a beautiful table with the sofa where our waiters took care of us for a very delicious dinner. I had my favorite dish the Stilton soufflé and the fish cake, all magnificent. The ambiance was calm, very relaxing, no waiting times, a very pleasant night as always.

Classic eatery with focus on seafood prompt and polite service pricey but not out of line with top restaurants quiet enough to talk .

We had a wonderful evening at Wilton’s - the food was first class - we all had the Dover sole and were especially tempted by the beef wellington which looked stunning . The service was first class . The ambience reflects the age of the restaurant and people are eating in one of a number of linked rooms. Whilst your choices can be expensive you get what you pay for. We have already booked to return to celebrate a birthday in August.

A truly memorable meal. Our party of 8 had reservations at 6:45 so we could choose between the trolley (Beef Wellington), the prixe fix, and ala carte menus. Everything was perfect and we all shared across the table. The staff was amazing. The best meal in London!

Great location close to Green Park . Friendly welcome and cosy restaurant with good service. Food outstanding and good value.

It always feels a privilege to step into Wilton’s restaurant with its wood panelled walls, immaculate white tablecloths and napkins, smartly dressed staff and opulent ambience. Their great achievement is to build on this setting by offering exceptional food. At my recent lunch, we started with a glass of very good house champagne whilst studying the menu which is based around traditional British fare. I chose the selection of half a dozen rock oysters from Cooley, Jersey and Cumbrae respectively. These plump, sweet, neatly shucked delicacies were accompanied by a tangy mignonette sauce and the combination was just perfect. To follow, my host and I both opted for the Dover Sole, cooked meuniere and presented on-the-bone. This was a magnificent piece of fish and I cannot imagine any better in the capital. Firm white flesh, plenty of burnt butter and a deep flavour which was accompanied by a chilled bottle of Pouilly-Fume Les Cris 2021 from Domaine A. Cailbourdin. If I had a grumble, it would be the rather dark-skinned Jersey Royal potatoes which were a little too hard and devoid of flavour. I am not a great fan of desserts so finished with a savoury. The Welsh Rarebit also disappointed with a thin white slice of toast and merely a smear of cheese on top. Thank goodness for Worcester Sauce to provide a spicy uplift. However, it was still a wonderful lunch and I look forward to returning soon.

Always excellent in every respect. If traditional done really well is your thing, then this is the place to go. The food is always of an extremely high standard, sourced, prepared and cooked with care. The service is friendly and excellent. If you have never been and like cheese, then treat yourself to the stilton souffle starter - sublime.

An exceptional experience as always. Phillippe always makes it wonderful

Excellent crab and grilled halibut. Attentive service

Outstanding service and beautiful food in an amazing restaurant.

Perfect food and amazing service in a beautiful place.

Wonderful food and service! Old school dining at its best - tables perfectly hidden round corners for perfect privacy. Highly recommend.

Attentive service and delicious food. Definitely a firm favourite.

Great service however wine service can be pushy… beef Wellington not ready for early diners so ordered alternative. Otherwise great spot!

My addition to the five star reviews is on the basis of having to cancel with less than eight hours notice due to my husband being unwell. The staff couldn’t have been nicer, wishing my husband well, taking no money from my credit card and saying they would welcome us back when we were next able to book. Wonderful service - thank you.

We usually dine at Wiltons when we are in town as we enjoy the great food, service and atmosphere. There are plenty of lovely staff serving you who are friendly and helpful. There is a very extensive wine list. This time we enjoyed salmon ceviche( a new dish on their menu), marinated salmon with dill & mustard sauce( delicious|) for starters, plus we shared a stilton souffle-a must for blue cheese lovers! For drinks we had an excellent whisky sour and a delightful Chablis to start, the we enjoyed a bottle of Morgon-one of our favourites. Your wine glass is kept topped up for you-you do not need to ask, such is the service in this restaurant. For mains I enjoyed lambs kidneys with bacon where English mustard is served to you from a sauce boat!! My partner had the fried cod with crab sauce, though she found the sauce a little too strong. We finished our meal with a couple of espressos. I recommend this restaurant very highly indeed -we will be back soon!

Wiltons is a magnificent restaurant for the following reasons. 1. Large menu, and there are meat dishes as well, so not entirely seafood. The bread and butter pudding is a must-have, please keep room for it (you get a very generous slice). This is served with custard. 2. Beautiful interior, even their carpet bears their logo. I'd describe their interior as sumptuous and traditional. 3. No loud music. This means you can talk to the people you're dining with and don't have a headache the next day. 4. No uncouth and unmannered "instagrammers" who take photo, after photo after photo and pose and pose for photo after photo. When we dined, we didn't even see anyone with their phone out. This makes a dining experience civilised and delightful. Wiltons thankfully does not attract that crowd. 5. Many restaurants rush you, and state a time limit on tables, Wiltons don't do that. We had 4 courses and we stayed for 2 hours, we could have waited before leaving or had another tea. This means you can eat in peace. If you have not discovered Wiltons yet, please do try it out. We will be back there as we're keen to try other dishes on their menu.

This is a stunning restaurant in a beautiful part of London, where they really remember what service means. Despite the sheer opulence of the restaurant and unbeatable upmarket atmosphere, the staff are attentive, friendly and helpful. The lamb on the carving trolly was the best I’ve tasted. Will definitely return, and soon I hope!

We had our usual exceptional experience at Wiltons, enjoying all our favourites- delicious oysters, Stilton soufflé, smoked eel, Dover sole and apple crumble. Filipo was charming and helpful with our choices. The sommelier made excellent suggestions for a white to go with the oysters. Our US and Australian guests were impressed. We will be back!

Exceptional. Never fails. Everything about Wiltons is reassuringly impressive. Always look forward to visiting. Well done.

First-class. Only The Ritz and Wiltons deliver this level of service and Michelin Star food.

A very enjoyable experience after an initial misunderstanding concerning my booking. Nonetheless, a very enjoyable night and highly recommended.

The oysters were as always superb but for a fish restaurant to have only three choices of fish as a main course was a little sparse although the soufflé potatoes were excellent

Such a lovely way to start the New Year with a lunch visit to one of my favourite restaurants in London. The front desk provides a warm welcome though I wished that the “jacket & tie” dress code for men had been sustained. A well-proportioned man was hovering at the front sporting an over-large zipped up windcheater and open neck shirt. Not at all smart so I hope he was apprehended before he entered the restaurant! What next? Baseball caps on the wrong way round? Back to the good old days of proper standards please. Thanks to ever helpful House Manager, Michael Stokes, we had a delightful table which provided ample screening for our business discussion and the service was discrete but always experienced and timely. The ambience continues to exude quiet luxury. I feel the Seasonal Menu is terrific value (important in a tight and high tax economy) with 3-courses offered for £47.95. My starter choice of half a dozen Carlingford Irish Rock Oysters was superb. Freshly shucked mouthfuls of sweet salty pleasure with a contrasting red wine vinegar and onion dressing. Absolute heaven on a cold winter’s day. From there, I moved to the Carving Trolley and myriad slices of tender honey roasted gammon with creamy mashed potatoes. Spinach (£7.00) and French Beans (£6.50) were extra but worth it. Finally, we both had the gorgeous Bread & Butter Pudding which was light, sweet and sitting in a moat of delicious custard. The wine list is imperious and impelling but not so easy to find a value for money midday measure. I opted for the Tuscan Le Volte Dell’ Ornellaia 2018 for £98.00 which drank well. Plenty of fruit flavour and not too heavy. Overall the bill was a meaty £274.16 for 2 with service now at 15% but this is a very special restaurant.

Increíble experiencia. Todo delicioso y servicio impecable

World class in all ways. Bravo We started with the caviar then to the cheese soufflé and on to the lamb which was delicious. Mashed potatoes like Mom used to make. A great array of desserts. Simply yummy.

This was our 3rd visit to this brilliant restaurant and we were there on a very busy Saturday night to celebrate our 38th Wedding Anniversary. The food and service were as usual perfection. Thank you to all of the staff for making us so welcome (and seating us in a booth) and making our special day so really memorable.

Went here just before the theatre. I had the seasonal menu which was amazing value. Started with 6 oysters followed by the best mushroom & truffle risotto then finishing off with blood orange trifle. The food was faultless as was the service from everyone who came to the table. 1st time here but feel that this will be our go to place when we come to London. Perfection

Impeccable except for the day light robbery of selling over priced truffle mash which was simply mash with a shaving of tasteless truffles on top! I can make better at home.

Second visit after six years and glad to find again the same elegant atmosphere of a place able to mix the best of English tradition in terms of service and food. The lobster, the venison, the salmon, the lamb and the delicious Stilton soufflé so light and tasteful. All accompanied by an exceptional service, there was no need to ask, there was always someone checking and anticipating all our requests. The desserts were no less, we tried the Christmas pudding, the bread and butter pudding, the petit four … wonderful, all of them. One note to reach perfection: a magnificent truffle was presented to us, just arrived from Italy, but there was no need to advertise it with the price of the related risotto… that wasn’t matching with the impeccable Wiltons style.

Perfect experience, but a bit pricey.. the place is very classy..

Didn't realize they did a set cheap menu if you book before 7pm , so when we arrived at 7:30 it was really busy and staff were busy fulfilling all these covers. Considering we were paying full we were treated like second class citizens , and they were even hoovering as we were finishing off our meal. Also one of the toilets was covered in sick . Food was the standard I expected and remembered but the rest was disappointing for the £200 a head we paid ! I will go back but before 7PM !!

Two issues affected my lunch on this special day that could have been avoided. A mess was made of my reservation which was a nonsense. The second disappointment was that the trolley menu was woefully short on the roast rib of pork and what we were shown was not what was served. Desperation set in and the meal was served late and undercooked and was not rib.

Wilton's was all that I remembered. And more, better than ever. My Dover sole was superb, and my wife's grouse was wonderful. The Sommelier's choice was wines was also superb. The oysters were just about the best I have ever had and incredibly fresh. We lingered over wine and dessert until they were almost ready to ask us to leave, but, of course, they would never do that. Their treatment of patrons is the best.

Our favorite restaurant worldwide is Wilton’s in London. Big name celebrity chef restaurant? No. Fancy innovative new wave cuisine? No. Celebrity hang out? No. Cheap prices? No, but reasonable considering. A (very old) British restaurant serving impeccably prepaired and presented modern British cuisine eg. Last visit I had grilled Dover sole (with perfect cross hatched grill marks!) followed by broiled lamb kidneys - a dish I’d eat nowhere else. Creme brûlée of course. Fresh oysters from select areas are a specialty. Service is as good as the food: quiet, immediate, competent, from wait staff, to sommelier to bussers. Eye contact brings immediate service! Decor is English parlor. Only recent regret, they’ve dropped the mixed grill from the menu, an old and beautifully done plate. Dommage!

It’s so good that this sort of establishment is still going strong despite what many would argue are strong headwinds. Delighted therefore that traditions, including dress code are preserved.My first visit in more than 30 years but delightfully little has changed ! How could I resist the twice cooked soufflé to start and my companion’s eels were sublime. We also sneaked in a shared potted shrimps which were divine.For mains I had grilled Dover sole and my companion grilled turbot which were perfectly cooked as were our accompaniments, truffle mash,spinach complimented by a sapphire salad.Amazing wine list from which we chose an excellent Riesling and then a very good Vouvray.

The food and wine were great. The sommelier did a great job suggesting a wine. The service was very attentive and timely but lacked any ounce of friendliness or personality. Would not return based on the fact we did not feel welcome.

Lunch booking for our first visit. Warm welcome and immediately shown to our table. We took advantage of the 2/3 course set lunch menu, which proved to be a great choice. Our starters were oysters and home made soup, both delicious. Mains were the Trolley of the Day (roast leg of lamb with roast potatoes and jus) and pumpkin sage butter risotto. Both were utterly enjoyable. Our servers were attentive and available to answer any queries. Thank you Yiorgos and Oleg our Sommelier for making our lunch truly memorable.

Simply put we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here on a very recent trip to London. Food, service, ambience etc all top drawer. We loved the booth seat and the fact the Chef is from Yorkshire (so are we):-) Daniel the Sommelier was great and suggested 2 fantastic wines for our respective meals (one was on white, one on red). From the moment we arrived until we left, loved it and we will be back when next in London.

Everything was outstanding - excellent high-end dining experience.

A favorite over the years. Brilliant British cuisine in an elegant, formal room. Service to match. Only possible negative is that the menu has been downsized somewhat and some items eg. Mixed grill, no longer offered.

Outstanding dinner while on a long weekend in London in transit back to the USA after. a month in the Greek Islands. Very formal, but highly personable service, with very attentive staff overlooking every moment of our dinner. the food was impeccable and my lobster thermidor was the best I have ever had (out of the shell) and perfectly tender and creamy.

I love this place! First visit and it did not disappoint. The food and service were immaculate. If only I had visited sooner!!

This is a first-class place. I had heard that the Dover Sole here was the best in town. I haven't been to all the rest, but in my experience, this Dover sole was the best.

Wiltons is a classy restaurant, the ambiance is ideal, muted lighting and elegant furnishings with well-spaced tables. The waiting staff were polite, efficient and friendly. My duck liver pate was delicious if a little colder than I expected, the grouse was too tough in places although the flavour was good. The undoubted star of the show was the plum & Almond crumble.. sensational. I will return asap.

We ate before the theater and the food was amazing! We started with the Devonshire Crab and Avocado , wonderful with their homemade cocktail sauce. I had the Cornish Plaice done meunière and it literally melted in your mouth, absolutely amazing! My husband had the beef filet and it was great. Wasn't cooked exactly as he asked, but still done well. We had the Gratin Dauphinois, french green beans and the pickled cucumber slad all were delicious. If you are in in London I highly recommend Wiltons!!!

I've visited this fish and seafood restaurant many times. It never disappoints. You are always made to feel special and the staff discreetly anticipate your needs (or so it seems - perhaps I'm just predictable). The food is superb and, yes, it can be pricey but it is London and it is top notch cuisine. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Excellent service both pre and post booking Food excellent will definitely return and recommend

And not in a good way. I am heartened to read some recent reviews that sound like the Wiltons of old but I’m afraid my most recent experience matches those who complain of poor service and lowered standards. I am very disappointed in particular about the service. Over one hour we sat waiting for starters to arrive. Having been given menus but no wine list we had to ask for the wine list in the first place and when another 25 minutes drifted by, ask again for the sommelier….and then again to order more wine later on. And so on. The food is still great but the evening felt like just another expensive restaurant in London. Slow , impersonable service, no eye contact etc. Such a shame as we brought friends who had never been before.

Wilton’s is without doubt the top restaurant in London Fab oysters fab Chablis and wonderful service Well done the Hambros for keeping it going

Lovely traditional restaurant, will certainly return. Didn't realise it was one of the oldest restaurants in town. Love that

Lovely as always. By accident, value was improved by accident when we both unwittingly chose items comprising a set menu we were unaware of, making the bill a pleasant surprise.

Very elegant and very attentive to our enjoyment of their restaurant! They were very accommodating to my wife’s gluten allergy. The wine selection was excellent.

Is this possibly the best restaurant ?! Whilst not Michelin starred venue from many aspects - everything as Wilton’s is perfection personified. From the fabulous range of champagne to best Dover Sole in London to soufflé that virtually floats. Service always outstanding, atmosphere is charged with charm and history.

Wonderful restaurant. Food was exquisite. Great service. I would highly recommend.

Extraordinary setting and cuisine! Such a fabulous dining experience!

Usually we rave about this place but on this occasion something was missing.there was no atmosphere no friendly banter our waiter was nothing but dour my wife ordered green beans only to be told they were all gone and the other 4 alternative veg on menu eerr unacceptable the food itself was OK but we wonder if cuts are in the offing they only offered one sorbet and the chocs at the end of meal were cut from 4 to 2 Considering we spent 800 pounds we felt unappreciated and underwealmed Let's hope this was just a blip

Michael is the consummate maître d and welcomed us back as if we’d only been gone for few days rather than 4 years (pre-covid). The twice cooked soufflé were superb, the lamb cutlets and vegetables cooked to perfection. The Happy Birthday chocolates accompanying the apple crumble a great surprise as was the complimentary champagne. Wiltons is simply the best way to enjoy the best of British. Yes it is expensive but you do get what you’ve paid for. Book in advance and settle in for a real British experience.

Meravigliosa serata trascorsa con amici durante un bel soggiorno a Londra. Menù tipico con ostriche e carni. Tutto bagnato da un ottimo “champagne” del Kent. Servizio eccellente, locale favoloso

Wilton’s is just amazing - perfect food, ambience and service. The Dover sole was exquisite and highly recommendable. The dessert was scrumptious. The staff so attentive and friendly. Beautiful settings. A perfect place for any occasion.

I visited Wiltons with some friends recently as part of our aim to experience the oldest restaurants in London. From the minute we walked through the door, we were treated impeccably by efficient and knowledgeable staff who seemed to have the sole intention of ensuring...

Wilton's is one of the great classic London restaurants. The service is impeccable without being obsequious. The menu is traditional with great British fish and meat along with seasonal specialties prepared simply but well. It is quiet so that dinner-table conversation is easy, not strained. If there is a best of Britain in the restaurant category, Wilton's would be near the top of the list.

Outstanding dinner and service in a delightful setting. This is a deluxe restaurant with prices to match but it delivers. Highly recommended

Absolutely outstanding! Everything was perfect from start to finish. Our first visit to Wilton’s and it definitely won’t be our last. Every single member of staff from the lady at reception to the sommelier to the gentleman doing the carvery & all waiters went above & beyond in providing a memorable experience. We are foodies & dine out 2/3 times a week and I can honestly say nowhere in London do you get the kind of experience you get at Wilton’s. Everyone here deserves 7 stars. The food was scrumptious- the carving trolley has a different roast everyday. On Tuesday it was Roast Rack of Blythburgh Pork Served with Roast Potatoes and Apple Compote - cooked to perfection! Wilton’s House Champagne is excellent value for money at £88 a bottle - would highly recommend it. Can’t wait to plan our next visit.

Although intentionally dated because of the age of the restaurant, the decor could use a little refreshing. The food was very good, although pricey for what you get. The service was hit and miss - timely but not overly friendly.

This is a beautiful restaurant with kind and attentive staff. The meal was executed with near perfection, and our appetizers and entrees were delicious. I highly recommend Wiltons!

A chaque visite à Londres, passage obligé chez Wiltons … L’excellence tant gastronomique que professionnelle au niveau du service …...

What a beautiful, classic, tasteful restaurant. While seafood is in abundance with lots of temptations, there is also meat and vegetarian to choose from. We both had the lobster bisque which was wonderful, then a nice monkfish and a mushroom risotto. The apple crumble with cream and a trio of ice creams topped off a very nice experience. The service was impeccable. A nice wine list had choices from France and Italy mostly. We wanted a classic London restaurant and found it!

The perfect restaurant: fresh, well-crafted food; consistent staff with no turnover; longtime suppliers of the highest quality seafood, produce and game; well-maintained rooms; no pressure to leave. What else can they do?

Fantastic! Never gets old. Food and service is exceptional!

Legendary reputation. Terribly English ! Historically, oysters traders and speciality fish restaurant, the menu is now broader. The silver service trolley, with changing 'cuts' daily, is also excellent. Have just seen their 'Coronation' menu and would love to return to sample that.

Beautiful meal and wonderful service. Just wish they had some music playing, evenly subtly in the background as was really too quiet. Would improve ambience, but apart from that excellent meal.

One of my favourite restaurants. I had lunch, the smoked eel with horseradish was excellent, the liver and bacon a revelation and the waiting staff were, attentive, polite and professional. The ambience is of serene elegance and one of the only restaurants of quality that a quiet conversation can take place in peaceful surroundings. I’ll be back.

This is my favourite fish restaurant, now a little tradition, I come here on my birthday each year and for someone who was never fussed about fish….a total covert when I eat at Wilton’s. On our recent visit, it was roast pork day, which looked...

Specializes in seafood but the meat options are also excellent. Real old school service, very high quality decor, extensive wine list. We ate a la carte but there is a very reasonable fixed price option. Lovely experience.

Exceptional dining experience with exquisite food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Everything we ordered, from the freshest simple crayfish with mayo to impeccably executed monkfish Wellington, was superb. The restaurant has also an interesting history you can read in the menu booklet.

Wiltons never fails to be simply the best restaurant in London. The food is outstanding-the service is friendly and immaculate. Very hard to fault
