Wonderful place to lunch with guests who come from abroad to visit London. After a lovely lunch, where we were not rushed at all, we visited the amazing collection of paintings and French decorative arts. A great place to meet up with local friends as well. A jewel in the capital!

Why is that blonde female staff so grumpy? Rough attitude? Is it because we are Asians? One other staff made our service charge free, but I didn't say it for money.

A really nice place to meet up with friends in a very relaxed atmosphere. The menu had a good selection of food and drinks. The service by polite, friendly staff was good. They did not rush us so it was great to relax and enjoy our time. Price wise it’s quite expensive so would only go back occasionally.

I rarely get round to writing reviews, but we had such a wonderful experience at the Wallace Collection Restaurant today for their festive afternoon tea that I was compelled to leave one. The service in particular was fantastic, and it’s just such a beautiful setting. Well worth a visit!

Very grand surroundings in this stately townhouse just a short stroll from the hubbub of Oxford Street. The dining room is an impressive conservatory style structure at the rear of the building. The bench seating at some of the tables is too deep with poor back support. The festive Christmas lunch was disappointing. Small portions of turkey and vegetables were not sustaining. The Christmas pudding was totally dried out and tasteless (apart from sugar), and the custard looked as though it had come straight out of a microwave. Impressive building but the food offering was underwhelming. The house white is Pinot Grigio which was not stated on the menu. On a brighter note the service was good. Our waiter was attentive and friendly.

Reservations were held and we were seated promptly. The food was ok, nothing special. I think the whole afternoon tea thing is really for tourists and way over priced for a few sandwiches and scones.

We had a delightful waiter who alerted us to the fact that dessert would be late and gave us complimentary coffee which was much appreciated. I think it could have been decorated a bit more Christmassy - Eg there were no lights in the trees as in years gone by. The menu was small but good and the food excellent.

A most enjoyable Xmas dinner - one meat and one vegetarian - served by efficient and personable staff. The space is very pleasant and other diners were thoughtful and respectful, none of the loud chat and raucous laughter you often have to put up with. Overall I'd definitely recommend the Wallace and will certainly return when the opportunity arises.
