The Wallace Restaurant offers a charming dining experience with a beautiful atrium setting in the heart of London. Guests often praise the "friendly" and "attentive" service and "lovely" ambiance. While some find the menu limited, the themed cocktails and afternoon tea are popular highlights. However, some reviews note the food quality as inconsistent and service can be slow during busy times.

A little disappointing for the price. The bread for the sandwiches was dry on the edges as if they’d been left on the side for a while, except the egg mayonnaise roll which was delicious and juicy. Scones were both very dry and so was the ginger cake. We requested another pot of tea three times before it arrived. Sadly I expected better.

Pleasant experience. We had a reservation. This is a museum restaurant but it is quite large. Food is simple but well prepared. Our service was excellent. Well worth it even if not visiting the Collection.
