Awful. Went here with two friends for lunch and I agree that the restaurant is beautiful and the atmosphere great, although not as exclusive as I was expecting.

However, the food and the service was appalling.

We were seated an given menus and within 5 minutes a waiter came to take our food order.

When we asked politely for a little more time the waiter sighed and looked at the clock above of heads as is to suggest that we were wasting his time and would soon have to give up our table.

The food was distinctly average. I had the steak frites, they were out of chips.

It was a Saturday lunchtime, how is that possible?

The only upside of the meal was spotting Judith Chalmers! I would never go again!

Oh dear. I think I'll go anyway, on the off-chance I might meet Judith Chalmers.

I would go if someone could guarantee that I wouldn't meet Judith Chalmers, the leather-faced hag.

I went to The Wolseley for breakfast at around 11 and was told there would be a wait, to which I agreed. When 12 minutes had passed and I wasn't being attended to, I reiterated my request and was told that my name hadn't been taken, when I had given it earlier. Finally, I was shown a table tucked away from view and told I had the table until noon and no later.



I ate my breakfast, after which I paid and asked the Wolseley concierge for a reservation for the next day. He asked me for my name and phone number, which I didn't have. He said he needed a number, but to just arrive as the place isn't busy at that time.



The next day, there was no reservation, and I was given an oddly shaped table which seemed to be one for waiting rather than eating, and again explicitly told only until noon. My guests heard the story in utter disbelief. There was no apology whatsoever.
