    Our waiter was excellent, very professional and hard working. It really bothers me to see the wait staff working so hard and the managers just standing around. Would it hurt to help out once in a while? The tables felt very small. The beef Wellington was excellent and it made for a very special Christmas Eve dinner.

    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.
