I have wanted to eat here for a while and got the chance this week. It was everything I had hoped for and more... Seasonal menu with great choice and the cookery absolutely on point. What's lovely is that there are four courses with choices on each course which works for me better than a tasting menu where the diner doesn't have choice. Everything I had tasted and looked amazing. You can tell its based on classical French roots...the core ingredient is the star and is not 'messed about with'. The associated sauces, garnish, textures all compliment it. Great wine list and a very good range of wines by the glass which works well if you have four courses with the choices supported by knowledgeable but unpretentious sommeliers. Good food is one thing but its the service and ambience that makes a restaurant you want to return to. I definitely will be returning whenever I can. Fantastic food and wine in an elegant but unstuffy environment with knowledgeable, cheerful and perfectly attentive staff. Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience at The Wolseley! I don’t usually write reviews, but the restaurant was very busy and we had a very tight time window to make the theatre. Our waiter did a fantastic job to bring us our supper and dessert with plenty of time to spare, and it was all delicious, especially the fish cakes and cheesecake. Thank you, we’ll be back!

The quality of food is amazing, we ordered the truffle pasta and Matilda cake - both are perfect for sharing! The cake was delightful and incredible quality. If you’re too full to eat the whole thing, it can also be boxed up for the journey home. Huge thanks to Jager who served us and was very friendly/welcoming.
