The Wolseley is simply a sublime place to be. When you add to that the exquisite food, clearly cooked with skill, care and panache, one can only conclude that there is no better place to enjoy a meal in London. Of course, these are not greasy spoon prices. For me, it's for special occasions. This time, it was my son's birthday. I first took him there when he was 9, so there is all the caché of past history for us too. But, oh my goodness, how they take care of you, make you feel special. They are attentive without ever being intrusive. The waiter who served us (I didn't get his name - we were there Tuesday 27th, booked for 10.45am but were late, due to a train delay) was the embodiment of professional charm and grace but served with great warmth. Thanks Wolseley, again, for a fabulous experience.

A wonderful afternoon tea with my daughter and friend, celebrating my daughter's birthday. The food was fantastic, drinks delightful (especially the chocolate tea), and the pick n' mix sweet trolley at the end was the icing on the cake. We'll definitely return ❤️

• Afternoon Tea • South Kensington

A very comfortable table for the 5 of us in a beautifully decorated restaurant. Plenty of space between tables, which I think is always a plus. Being part of the 5-star Kensington Hotel, none of this should have come as a surprise. The ambience was very pleasant indeed, the food delicious and the staff very welcoming. I would certainly return if the opportunity presents itself again.
