    I visited for the first time last night, and I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to because it was such a lovely experience. Our server, Mihai, was excellent. He was really warm and took the time to explain the menu and recommend both wine and food. We went with his recommendations, and both were excellent choices. The whole evening felt relaxed, thoughtful, and special. Thank you for making our first visit such a memorable one. I’ll definitely be back.

    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.
