The Wolseley Review

Incredible. Doors of our taxi and into building opened by staff. All smiles and welcoming. Lovely decor, clean and inviting. Amazing service, and the staff were happy to talk about the history of the restaurant and building. Food was More

Lovely food and excellent service. Expensive but worth the price.
Recommend the steak tartare which was exquisite.

Despite the appearance of being uptight, was very relaxed and enjoyable. Make sure to make your reservation in advance.

Exceptional experience, warmest welcome always from Mat the manager, friendly staff and great menu. Beautiful space, highly recommended!

Great ambience, a beautiful place. Food and service almost matches the comfort and pulse that surround you.

Had breakfast, lunch and dinner always a great experience!

Beautiful decor, superb food, relaxing atmosphere. Service by the managerial/ senior waiting staff is fluid, clear attention to detail, and to a high-standard as you would expect. Service by the normal waiting staff unfortunately isn't the same but it's still a very pleasing dining experience.

This restaurant is recommended by local guide book, and the taste of egg benedict is the best as recommendation.

Great portion sizes, solid vegetarian menu, lovely atmosphere x

The breakfasts here are world famous and rightly so. The staff are helpful and friendly and the surroundings ooze 1920's glamour.

Lovely place so recommend just for the experience but our waiter was unfortunately rude and seemed bothered by us asking questions about the menu.

Delicious meal! Great choices, from hamurger to lobster, something for everyone. The room is elegant and lovely, but the atmosphere is smart-casual. The staff are very professional and helpful. Excellent service.

Simple but effective. Pain with reservations though

High level place, very good food and first class attention

Prices for lunch were better than I has thought for such a posh place. I highly recommend the avocado salad. Their burger is quite good as well as their fries (chips). The place had a nice vibe and I saw people dressed quite casual.

Absolutely brilliant definitely be going again had such a wonderful time and the staff were very friendly and helpful thank you

Fantastic venue , very professional pleasant staff . Excellent food

Great service, great food, great building, great design

A great overall experience. Service could have been quicker although is was rather busy.

Friendly staff, great service, brilliant food, there is nothing you could want.

We had a cream tea that came with 3 large scones each with cream and jam. Lovely and warm and very tasty. Table are a bit close together but we could only book for 3.30 but arrived early and we got our table early.

What a wonderful place. It's not the cheapest place I've been to in London, but what a place. Highly recommended.

Always lovely and great people working there. Thank you

Old fashioned excellent service in gorgeous 1920's surroundings. Breakfast (until 11.30) is good value.

Stunning cafe on Piccadilly. Great menu, prices ok for central London and staff really attentive.

Great as always. Amazing menu. Steak tartar, schnitzel, and cheesecake. GOD DAMN IT THIS CHEESECAKE IS AVESOME. Thanks chef Regis!!!

Excellent site A classic of London. Snails and Viennese.

Very posh spot for breakfast. Ordered the lobster and caviar eggs off the lunch menu.. expensive but the best darn eggs you'll ever have.

Excellent food in a beautiful historic building. It s hard to get a table though so be sure to book in advance or get there early. Breakfast is definitely my favorite meal at the Wolseley, get the eggs Benedict!

Great breakfast, service good but not brilliant. Incredibly expensive of course, wish I could say it was worth every penny.

A real treat to have Sunday brunch in this beautiful and busy place. The restaurant is stunning and energetic and the menu French driven. It is pricey, but worth the splurge for the experience.

This is a must 'go to'. If you are a Londoner, or a tourist this is the one of the most iconic buildings in London!

This is such a gorgeous location! Our service was great and the breakfast was delicious.

The food is okay, the guy who welcomed us was unfriendly!

Amazing place but definitely not one that can be visited every day. It's quite classy and overpriced but definitely worth it at least once a month.

Had a great dinner there. Great food, great atmosphere and great service. Prices were not that bad considering the area. Would happily go here again!

Terrible customer service. Food quality could be better for the price. I would NOT come here again or recommend to anyone wanting an afternoon cup of tea.

Excellent food and service, one of the best restaurants in London!!

Lovely place for breakfast and really nice Art Deco surroundings.The service is so good and friendly.Lucy my wife and myself would recommend going there and you will not be disappointed.

One of my favorite food corner at this location. I liked the decor. Interior was beautiful. Services was on top level. Staff were nice. Food was awesome.

This dining institution is constantly packed morning to night. Reservations a must, they do keep a small section in the front for walk-ins but be prepared to wait. The queues speak volumes of the quality of food and in such glorious surrounding. The service is friendly and efficient considering the scale of the restaurant. Always on our list when we are in London. Also, they make a great Bloody Mary.

Great place for breakfast in a beautiful location. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks.

Since no comments from Asian, let me give a brief one. Food, typical English; Taste, also world famous English style; Price, as high as property prices in London. Still recommend for one-time life experience, but only one time:) Remember to reserve at first. 60 pounds for two, if you come early you may need a taxi, more bills coming.

Loved it, was invited by a friend to breakfast food was grand and couldn't really find fault. Not something I can afford daily but a good treat

The quintessential cocktail bar. Great vibe and classic selections. Small bar off to the right of the entrance caters to those just popping in. The cheese puff is a bar food you wont soon forget not will you find it anyplace else.

I have been using this restaurant for years for both breakfast, lunch and dinner although most recently for breakfast meetings due to its excellent location. A really buzzing vibe, always busy, attentive staff and great menu. Highly recommended.

Good enough for A.A.Gill, good enough for J.Stanbridge!

Excellent staff and food! Little noisy if sitted in the big hall.

Busy restaurant, good decor, buzzing atmosphere and some great dishes, one of my lunchtime favourites

Delicious food in a great atmosphere. Really special is the privat room upstairs

Really beautiful surroundings although a bit busy. The staff were fantastic and very attentive, food was sensational, a great place to go for a treat.

After a ton of research, I settled on the Wolsely for a solo afternoon tea service. Reservations were very easy via their online system, and I was seated immediately upon my arrival. The scones were tender and warm, and the sandwiches were soft and moist. I enjoyed the dessert pastries as well, and there was enough food for one for a meal (as it should be). I was not offered any refills, and when I asked for more tea (same variety), I was charged for another pot, which I had not anticipated based off of other reviews. I will agree that there is quite a bit of noise and the tables are quite closely packed, and the vast majority were travelers like myself, but I still somehow felt slightly underdressed in dark jeans and a button up shirt. I was comfortable as a solo visitor and utilized WiFi to do some work on my tablet. Visited in February. I would recommend this place for afternoon tea for the price point, but, with the abundance of other locations offering afternoon tea, would not return again.

Posh breakfast place, ambience is royal, friendly staff

Fantastic breakfast with my wife. One of our favourites in London. A tad overpriced.

Excellent scones in their value for money afternoon tea set. Had the superfoods salad which was excellent too.

Excellent afternoon tea, really nice place, and very polite waiters, I'll be back !

From a production design it's amazing. The logistics of its morning to night business are a marvel. Service great. Food. You've guessed it. Ok.

So beautiful place * I ordered the salmon so delicious ~ The fish skin is crispy ~
My aunt is eating an English breakfast. They say that the portion is delicious and full.
I ca n t finish the salad. The package clerk said that they only have aluminum foil to wrap them. They do n t have a box or anything. 20 pounds of salmon is worth ordering ~

Excellent service and hospitality. Tasty food and wonderful environment. Authentic British experience.

Service wasn't great I am afraid. Loads of staff but none managed to serve us!

Went here for breakfast. The Arnold Bennet omelette was the best omelette I have ever had. The restaurant setting had a great sense of decorum. The service was fantastic.

Reasonably priced Mayfair restaurant in a setting of grandeur (I think it was a former bank!). The menu is good and quality of food what you would expect in a well-known but not pretentious restaurant.
