Galvin at Windows

Booked for son’s birthday and on confirmation was told no balloons however it was ok to bring a cake. On arrival we were told no cake. Bit awkward as we’d brought it and candles for his 21st. The restaurant manager said it was policy and did eventually sort out that we could receive the cake at tables behind the bar. All very unnecessary and we couldn’t cut/eat the cake in case someone became ill. Seriously Hilton/Galvin. I get that you’re a high class establishment however don’t ruin a special occasion by being so up yourself! People go to top restaurants to celebrate and although the food and wine were excellent (sommelier was one of the nicest people I’ve encountered and very helpful) it takes away from a great evening when we have to be secreted behind bead curtains to sing happy birthday in hushed tones

We ate here for a very special occasion, we chose here because we ha previously been here on another occasions and it completely blew our taste buds and was a magnificent experience. Though upon returning the food was very disappointing. having paid a little over £400 we expected a lot more, we wouldn't return. such a shame as our first memory here was wonderful and an experience we will never forget, we wish we had had the same the 2nd time round.

We loved out lunch. It was our first time eating there and we would normally frequent Scotts of Mayfair. Food was outstanding as was the service.

Only slight disappointing thing was we ordered a 'lovey dovey' cocktail in the hopes of meeting Fred as it was my birthday but it never transpired. He did however visit two other tables during our lunch.

Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed. The dining was spectacular and the staff was 5 star throughput!

A very lovely lunch in amazing surroundings. The food was delicious and imaginative.

We went on a special offer which was really good value.
The food was exceptional!
My ravioli starter was delicious as were the padron peppers (1 more would have been nice)

Everything was executed perfectly, beautifully presented and the service faultless.

Excellent experience as always - service, food and wine al superb and on a sunny day so amazing viewsl

Food was excellent and we were well looked after with very friendly and welcoming service. The atmosphere was perfect for a date with brilliant views from the too of the hotel.

Great environment, wonderful food and perfect service -fun and attentive (but not too attentive).

Exquisite food. Amazing views. Attentive service. Only problem was the Hilton bar downstairs told my mum she could take her full glass of wine up to the restaurant (if she drank it downstairs we would be late for our table) however Galvins did not allow this. Wine is not cheap these days so this was irritating particularly as on a previous visit Galvins did allow this (my mum is a painfully slow drinker!). You only have 90 minutes at the table on the pre-theatre package which does feel rather rushed

It was a nice evening but we didn’t enjoy it as much as our recent visit to another Galvins restaurant La Chapeller

Great experience! The staff were attentive, helpful and friendly. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Only wish the weather had been better for the views!

great service and met fred. lovely atmosphere great service

Wonderful treat for my mothers birthday. Fantastic food, great service and tasty cocktails. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you

Outstanding all round! Service was first rate, will definitely be recommending!

Fantastic experience great food great service great atmosphere and great views. This is how a restaurant should be.

This was our second visit for lunch and it was as good as our first experience. Excellent food and immaculate service. Even got to meet Fred.

First class food and service, will definitely be back x

As usual having a business lunch at Galvins is an easy win. All my business contacts enjoyed and loved it! Thank you for your kind and friendly support!

This was a birthday lunch treat and it definitely lived up to expectations. Wonderful cocktails, palatable wines and really outstanding food.
We enjoyed the set menu, my partner opting for a Jerusalem artichoke veloute and roasted pepper main while I chose a trout starter and followed it with sea bream, which was cooked to perfection - its flesh flaky, and delightfully crispy skin.
My partner assures me the cheesecake he had for dessert was the best he ever tasted, but I had no regrets about my choice of a tonka bean parfait.
Service was attentive but unobtrusive, if you're looking to celebrate the venue will certainly help to mark the occasion.

The food and ambiance were perfect! And Fred popping by to say hello was a lovely added bonus!

What stood out was the attentive and helpful level of service. We were never overwhelmed but it was clear the staff know how to look after diners. We ate 3 courses, had olives to start and added a glass of wine along with the set menu Belini. Another great restaurant ticked off my 'must visit' list.

Fantastic service, the staff were attentive and swift but without us feeling rushed. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal, particularly the short-rib burger. The views were stunning and the postcard was a lovely touch. Thank you for making the lunch special!

Totally awful experience, the waiter don’t leave you alone for a second keep up-selling all the time. I got charged for 6 bottles of water at £35 when we probably drunk 4 max and the food was rather ordinary. I was really disappointed by what this lovely restaurant has become.

The views were stunning from the restaurant.The service was good and they catered to our food allergies. Although the food was okay there wasn't anything to write home about.

Absolutely fantastic meal that was accented very nicely by the fantastic view of London. Had the kimchi risotto and the hake and both were very flavorful and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend for a special occasion!

The food was as great as we remembered it really clear good flavours and well presented and the service was exceptional all of the staff were very attentive and professional. Unfortunately on this occasion we had a table near the steps which made the table feel like it was on a runway. It was nice to see Fred.

Excellent food and service, particularly from Marco. A marvellous way to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary!

The food was quite good but my expectations were that it would be smth extraordinary - it was not. It was good.
It was quite loud and there were no music.
We were not able to see the view as we were seated in the middle of the restaurant where it is impossible to see the view.
The design is quite old.

An amazing restaurant , I picked this restaurant to propose to my girlfriend.
Such attention to detail and the staff could not be more helpful in accommodating exactly what I needed and helped to make it an even more special moment than it already was.
Thank you

The venue is very nice although they were late with our table by 45 minutes and dessert was also late. Overall a nice venue but not sure if I'd go back.

Fantastic experience all round. Accommodated our lateness without complaint. Food and service excellent. Surpassed all my expectations

Amazing service, amazing food, will definitely be returning. Very happy diners

We had the set Saturday set brunch menu. The food was AMAZING, as was the service. We had a fantastic bottle of rosé following some good advice from the sommelier and also tried a gin and tonic from the extensive gin trolley. I could not fault a thing and it was an amazing experience all round.

Beautiful restaurant, great location and food was outstanding!
Service was amazing as well
Thank you!!

Birthday was fun. Food is the best!

The staff were all friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The food was lovely and the set menu was very reasonable. The view is also amazing.

To much noice from the bar. Excellent food and service.

There was no a la carte menu which seems a bit odd, but we opted for the seven course degustation menu which was excellent. Every course plus amuse bouche packed a flavour punch, with the head chef’s Korean heritage injecting some exotic elements into the classic French cooking (kimchee risotto, yum!). Our least favourite course was the dessert - yoghurt ice cream plus chocolate mousse and brownie, all a bit unexciting. The ambience was ok, a bit hotel-y obviously, not helped by the coachload of shabbily clad Asian tourists who traipsed to their table, then to the loo and back again and were fed and gone within an hour. What happened to the smart, casual dress code? Our bill for two was £337, gulp - but it was a special anniversary.

Absolutely outstanding experience at Galvins, our waiter Marco was absolutely second to none....legend!
