Galvin at Windows

Definitely for the experience and view alone. The food was great. I wasn't particularly bowled over by my choices. Had serious food envy when my girlfriends dishes arrived. The service was exceptional, and entertaining at times. They also made a little birthday treat for my girlfriend which I thought was beautifully kind.

We went to this amazing restaurant as a special treat, we were celebrating our recent wedding with some friends. We were seated at a beautiful table at the window and were excited about the opportunity to write a postcard to family/friends - Wow! Then the food and wine started coming with the very attentive service. The meal was amazing.
All the food is truly wonderful.
After two hours we were asked to leave our table.
The restaurant was not even half full at this point - around 9 pm on a Saturday night.
We were offered a table at the bar - which was very noisy or alternatively something they called the lounge. So we said, we'll go to the lounge - thinking we'd have a coffee and liqueur ... but ... nobody came. Staff came to the table next to us, but ignored us. Staff were near us , since we were placed behind the galley, but none of them came anywhere near us.
In fact, getting to pay the bill was a bit of task, since we had to wave someone down.
This really put a dampener on what had been a wonderful experience, a beautiful meal in the most amazing setting BUT now we felt ignored, unwanted and frankly insulted.
Particularly since we walked out past the room we had dined in and it was not even one quarter full and our former table and the adjoining table were both empty.
Why did you move us?
So... I'm never coming back and I'm not telling anyone about your restaurant. In fact on the way home I was thinking about writing a letter of complaint to the head of the restaurant and to the chef.
The food that comes from this kitchen deserves better than the experience we had!

Service was second to none, great value, stunning views and tasty food!

We love Galvin at Windows! The food is fantastic and the service is top notch. We have been there 3 times in less than a year and every time, we received professional & very friendly service. And the view is awesome from the 28th!

Very welcoming friendly and helpful. attentive explanatory

Absolutely exceeded our expectations and look forward to our next bookings with friends....see you soon Galvin

Excellent service. Took my son for lunch on trip to London.

Delicious food, great professional service and a fantastic view of Hyde Park and surroundings. A very nice experience all round.

Fantastic Sunday lunch with an amazing views. Food was unreal as well as the service. Thank you

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!

Would recommend but not what we expected from a Michelin star restaurant. Seemed a bit too busy and noisy and although all staff were nice, knowledge of the menu was limited and they were not as attentive as many other restaurants which seemed to be due to the number of guests there. Service felt rushed and not appropriate to be asked to order desert at the start of the meal (anywhere let alone a top restaurant) just because they were busy.

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
