This was our first time having afternoon tea and it was an absolutely delightful experience! The Gallery was beautiful with a wonderful atmosphere that was energetic but sophisticated. We were slightly intimidated about not being fully aware of the etiquette of afternoon tea but we were made to feel very comfortable with the wait staff. The piano and singer were a lovely touch as well! The tea and food were scrumptious and presented so beautifully! We will absolutely return upon our next trip to London.

A fantastic restaurant. The food was beyond amazing. It was lovely to see Victor Garvey come and introduced the starter which was a hi light. The waiting staff I cannot fault. They were attentive and friendly but not in your face and genuinely seemed to enjoy doing what they do. A great day

Staff are nice, food remains very good and has been very good for a very long time, which is commendable, the pricing inflation had been pronounced in the past few years and is the main con.

Beautiful romantic restaurant and stunning decor. Food delicious although slightly small portion sizes, and I felt that the pork (main course on the set lunch menu) should have come with at least some vegetables, without needing to order an extra side. However, the service was great, staff lovely, and overall a memorable experience for our anniversary. We will definitely go back for special occasions!
