    All 4 of us felt the food was excellent, it was really quite special. It is an expensive treat, but turned out completely worth it. The service was very friendly and even the music and the art in the restaurant were great. Thoroughly recommended.

    Had dinner booked in the restaurant but moved onto the terrace as venue was not busy. We were still able to select from the à la carte menu. Food options were imaginative and all our party were impressed with the cooking and presentation of their dishes. I’ve docked a star on value as I personally find the mark up on wine in restaurants generally a poor practice and will ultimately do little to sustain the hospitality industry. Overall a great venue for a special occasion

    I had a great time at Quaglino for the gospel lunch! The choir was amazing, truly fantastic experience! The food was very good, good value for money I was very impressed! The service was excellent! The only thing I’d say is I was sat right at the front which was great for the view but a bit too close to the stage I still had a great time regardless!

    While I have always loved the really beautiful ever -changing seasonal surroundings and the ambience, food and service continue to be excellent. Price is fair and selection of dishes always interesting: imaginative and beautifully presented with high quality ingredients. Portions are perfect. So unsurprisingly we keep coming back. Thank you all.

    We enjoyed the whole experience of our meal so much! The food and wine were incredible. My partner’s food intolerance was also catered for. The sommelier helped us choose the perfect champagne to go with our meal. The service was warm, welcoming and efficient and Chef Alex Dilling introduced most of the dishes in person.
