Quaglino's Restaurant London. Reviews

Tasty bunch at a lovely venue. Service was polite & efficient. I had the lunch set menu, Pancakes, Burger & Chocolate dessert. Great place to grab lunch before Pride.

I spent way too much for what was a sandwich and extremely poor service. I was none too happy today and will be unlikely to dine at Quaglino'a again.

Food was sumptuous! Nice ambience However the service is erratic and the cloakroom needs competent staff.

Loud music make communication difficult. And little variety of food

A great experience. The food was wonderful and extremely tasty. The staff were cool and friendly and the musical entertainment was brilliant. There is a risk at places like this that it become cheesy and rely on its famous name. However that's not the case here. Everything was impeccable. The only downside was the scenesters that just wanted to get their selfie and tag themselves at the venue as well as perhaps meet their future russian husband.

Absolutely amazing experience. Faultless from beginning to end.
Staff were so welcoming and friendly, Food was incredible Quaglino's would have to be the best restuarant I have ever been too. A very memorable experience. Highly recommended

Great for Sunday brunch. Bottomless prosecco was free flowing and the food was up to the standard expected.

Good food and service but very noisy. Hate having to shout over a meal.

Beautiful restaurant in Mayfair, great food, courteous and attentive staff, great live entertainment

Food is not spectacular, but the ambience is a winner

Every aspect of the dining experience was superb, the live act, the food and the service was excellent. The Scottish salmon was fantastic.

Came here on Saturday for my birthday celebrations. Huge venue with elaborate design and friendly staff and great cocktails.

Beautiful restaurant and bar,
service good food good atmosphere ok obviously better in the evening big restaurant so needs to be busy to get the best atmosphere

I really love this place. The design, the distribution of the building, the atmosphere, the customer service... every time I go there it s always excellent

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here early July. We were welcomed by friendly staff, great ambience, pleasant food and live music!

A wonderful resturant with very attentive service and fantastic modern food. Well be visiting again soon

The waiter asked one of my party to leave a good review on TripAdvisor. Appalling unprofessionalism which is totally unacceptable at this sort of establishment.

Great experience. Lovely waiter. Attentive , friendly with great sense of humour.

Love the brunch here. Perfect for fun loving couples and groups. Solid cocktail menu, dj spinning some decent tunes and attentive but not rushed service. The burger is tasty and substantial. The steak was cooked just to my liking. Serious chips and my favourite cherry/choc combo for dessert. Stop 1 on an endless afternoon, but the laid back party vibe is great for getting everyone in high spirits! Not overly expensive for a London restaurant.

Absolutely brilliant had a great time good food and music

This is a great place to dine away the evening. The theatre and ambience was greatly enhanced by the music playing. The evening standard menu was great value too. The food was cooked superb and presented very well too. Highly recomend

Good was great. They hurried our mains out straight after desert as they only give 2 hour table slots. They didn't mention that at the time of booking. Shame really.

Amazing place. Great atmosphere. Recommended for a romantic dinner.

Our new favourite place!
Great atmosphere, lovely food, amazing venue! And The Soul Jets were fantastic !

Beautifully presented restaurant with great live music and fantastic selection of food, a little bit more expensive but well worth a visit.

Dinner and a show. You can't beat that. Very few vegan options, but they have some. And the staff are happy to help. It can get very loud while the band plays.

Great food. Lovely ambience. The bottomless brunch is well priced especially as there was good quality prosecco.
We are both vegetarian and there were many options, even for vegans.
The staff were helpful and the team have made an active effort to maintain social distancing regulations.

Good food, good service and very lively atmosphere. I really liked the decoration of the large dinning salon with its high ceiling too. Great experience!

Great food, great table service, great wine, great sommeliers but uncaring managers and attitude of couldn't care less spoiled the evening.

- I have heard more musicality from a vagabond shouting into a traffic cone outside Victoria station than was achieved by the singer this evening and no one stepped in to rectify it.
- after multiple complaints (from us and other diners) the volume was made increasingly louder. - we moved tables but it was unavoidable.
- bathrooms had no hot or even warm running water, I ran the tap for a few mins to see if it would heat up.
- when we provided feedback, the response was practically non existent, when the environment and lack of accountability has ruined a night out, the staff have a responsibility to give a toss, not apparently in this instance.

Quaglino's used to have such a great reputation and as a result I am profoundly disappointed by the evening that we endured this evening.

I studied jazz at uni... and this wasn't that. Wow.

Prices are reasonable if you book for set menu, and taste good. Though live music start from 9pm, if you finish after 9 they charge you 4 pounds per person for music. The live was good so happy ro pay.

Attended a private dinner here on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere was superb but the food was disappointing. Asked for a medium steak which came well-done another friend asked for the same and her steak was almost blue. The central More

Great live jazz performance from Vila Malinga the night we had dinner.

The most amazing dining experience. The food was incredible, the cocktails were amazing and our waiter Ricardo gave the best service we have ever received.

Their Christmas set menu is really unimpressive and didn't really taste anything extraordinary, particularly the artichoke soup and camembert croutons. On this occasion, the Brussels sporuts were so undercooked and crunchy that my colleagues and I couldn't even cut through it let alone get the fork through.
Additionally, the lights are exceptionally dim that you'll require your phone torch to read the menu both at the bar and when seated. Perfect for couples to talk into each others ears over the chatter and music at least. Furthermore, the seating area by the wall for many guests requires everyone to scoot along the seats behind the tables. And be weary of glasses being filled with a mix of sparkling and still water.
However, it is definitively a place you want to go in the late evening for various taster courses,if you're into that, especially for their cocktail drink selection from the bar. The live entertainment was rather lovely to listen to, but difficult to watch when seated so far. Regardless, we enjoyed their performance greatly.
Lastly, a word of warning getting lost in the dark cubicles LOL

Exquisite place, the ambience was excellence. Wouldnt know this place if not for the company event. Haha wish we would have more of this in the future. Great food, excellence service.

Spectacular service, great attention to detail. Food is lovely and well prepared. Ambiance: top. Impressed my Parisian date. Well done.

Went there for my birthday the ambience was amazing they had a female jazz singer which was great I would definitely recommend this restaurant

I have been here twice and both times was magical. What a great addition to the london scene! Dinner and jazz ! Wow. It s contemporary jazz too with actual good singers. I really recommend this place for work end of week dinner. Lively atmosphere and start to the weekend. Staff are lovely food is great and the price is worth it.

Celebrated a friend's surprise birthday party we were running late, the service was excellent and food was very good as we ordered from set menu would recommend. Thank you x

Nice atmosphere, but food... looks ok but not tasty

Awful service, condescending staff and average food. Overrated

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!

Took my wife here for her Birthday, it was a Saturday and Belair were performing that night. We had an absolutely brilliant experience. The atmosphere and ambience was on point. Food was delicious and the music was just spectacular. If you are into your R&B music then I d definitely recommend you go on a night when Belair are performing. We caught the end bit of the Trio act just before the Main Band came on. The Main band was brilliant, they had people singing out loud, even getting up to dance. They played Bruno Mars, Kanye West, Mary J Blige, Nelly, Justin Timberlake, Luther Vandross & more. We tried a few things on their menu.

Starters:

1. 10g French Aquatine Caviar - was delicious)
2. Tea Cured Loch Duart Salmon - this was also really good.
3. Cotswolds White Chicken Ballotine - was OK.

Main Course:

1. Herefordshire Beef Fillet with Bearnaise - this was so tender and juicy.

Sides:

1. Pommes Frites
2. Garden Salad
3. Roasted Heritage Carrots with Coriander Cress

All sides were good

Cocktails are also good

Will hopefully go back here again!

Great ambience and music (normally starts around 9pm on weekdays). Service was all right, but nothing extraordinary. Winelist is pretty good.

I love this place every time great service. However this time we waited very long time for our food to arrive. We eat only bread for very long time. The waiter was very kind but I can see that he felt very embarrassed because of the food being so late. We was 6 people I believe we waited for more then 4h for 3 course dinner. I hope you will make bigger team so nobody will wait that long...

Terrible experience from moment we sat down - service absolutely abysmal. Do NOT go here for a celebration. Do NOT go here if you are a couple. You are NOT made to feel special if you eat here.

Went for my birthday. Seating wasn t great as I was right next to the till. Menu was limited. I think I d enjoy it on a regular day.

Disappointing. Went during London Restaurant Week and the food was mediocre at best. The service was unfriendly. It seemed clear that we weren't happy with the food (based on what was not eaten) but we were never asked what was wrong. I don't mind paying a lot for good food but really hate paying a lot for something I could have made better at home.

Great food. Fantastic wine. Friendly waiters and waitresses. Very attentive without interfering with our party. My wife and I think it's one of those restaurants where you'll have a great time no matter how often you visit. The bar serves amazing cocktails coupled with live music on certain nights. Highly recommend!

Lovely place that has been around for ages. Had a nice time but very expensive bar. Make sure you know the price before ordering.

The restaurant was very lovely. Nice scenery , lovely ambience. Nice staff. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy any meal because I am the most fussiest eater in the whole of England. But others i went with said their meals were nice

Had a very bad experience here. Chateaubriand took a long time to come, which we expected, but the meat was luke warm and the vegetables cold. Replacement meal delivered in no time but pre-dished up and covered in jus plus half as much More

What a fabulous evening we had this Saturday. Lovely welcome. Delicious and stylish cocktails. Very efficient and friendly service and delicious oysters and food. It was lovely to have the cheeseboard brought to the table. The restaurant was buzzing and busy with a great atmosphere but service remained excellent and genuine. We can't wait to go again.

Attentive and knowledgeable staff. Clean. Posh but not stiff. A classic

loved the venue! super attractive. Amazing food, well prepared, presented and tasty. Huge drinks selection, differentiating from other venues in the offerings. Service was mostly good with some blips but the model is right for the style. On the high end price side but still good for a special occasion

Amazing hospitality, exquisite service, excellent FooD

Food was absolutely amazing, and restaurant is beautiful

Loved every moment, the food, service, venue and especially the live performing band

Fancy. Good food.
A bit dark and noisy for my liking, but apparently a favourite of many celebs (including, I'm told, the late Princes Di).
Good wine list, reasonable set menus.
Be warned, live music from 9, so not suitable for business dinners requiring conversation.

So we went for a friends birthday this week and ordered the set menu.

Food was average at most but not worth the price.

The waiters who served us were very rude however and condescending. We do not know if it was motivated by some factor or something.

I will not go to the restaurant again.

Food is good but it s the atmosphere that makes the place. The bands or singers have been outstanding each time I ve been.
The service is great , everyone is super friendly. Only reason I gave it 4* is because I found the salmon very pink- but this is personal choice

Perfect place to go for dinner. They do have a live band, which is perfect detail to our dinner! I love food there and service always spot on.

Spot on service and food. Live music just knocked me over! 5 stars!

Excellent service. Lovely interior. Fabulous entertainment. The food wasn't anything special unfortunately. I would absolutely return but would advise you take a pack up with you .....

Nice decoration but the: food, service, music and sound quality were very average.. overall not a sophisticated place

Great band and ambience. Food is decent, steak is amazing!

Wonderful atmosphere, delightful staff - from the man at the door onwards.

We've had lunch in the private room today and I'm so positively surprised by the service and the food. Our waiter Ricardo was effortlessly friendly, subtle and efficient with the service. Being vegan I don't say this often but the starter and the mains were out of this world! Perfect presentation, texture and portion, I'm so coming back! I had the Quinoa, broccoli & pomegranate salad, burnt orange, pine nuts, tahini, calamansi dressing for a starter, and for main the Stuffed courgette, ratatouille, lemon gnocchi, smoked tomato, rosary cream
6 out of 5 stars, thank you!

Quaglinos continues to be an ICONIC Restaurant....a DELICIOUS MEAL this evening, attentive staff and FABULOUS ATMOSPHERE, enhanced by some GREAT live music!! WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!!

We went for a pre-theatre meal. We were seated on our own (there were other guests in but this is a big room) in a cold restaurant, whilst around us waiters moved tables around. The environment felt more like a warehouse than a restaurant. Two cold starters took nearly 40 mins to arrive and had clearly just been forgotten about. Service was equally tense and cold, I had the impression that staff were more scared to make a mistake in their formal service rather than actually engaging with their customers. Not my cup of tea. If you're going to open at 5.30 you need to be ready to serve people at 5.30, not just use it as an opportunity to mop up some extra business before the big crowds arrive. The venue is plush and the food is decent and over-priced. Glad we went to see it, but will not be going back - I guess it's designed for big groups / work parties with the evening entertainment really.

Unique location, great atmosphere whatever size group and awesome grilled food, just the stuff you can t eat easily at home.

An amasing venue for a night out.
Have a meal with live entertainment.
Felt like I was in New York during the 40's, with a modern twist.
Excellent.

Very loud and over priced !!! went for the band esp but could barely hear them just like a bit of back ground music but still had to pay for it on our bill.. lovely venue though

A really memorable evening with 6 other girlfriends. One of my favourite London restaurants. Lovely atmosphere, great service, fantastic cocktails. The dinner was superb and we enjoyed live music and then later on a DJ. Quite an expensive restaurant but worth every penny.
