We had a wonderful experience at The Wolseley! I don’t usually write reviews, but the restaurant was very busy and we had a very tight time window to make the theatre. Our waiter did a fantastic job to bring us our supper and dessert with plenty of time to spare, and it was all delicious, especially the fish cakes and cheesecake. Thank you, we’ll be back!
