Didn't realize they did a set cheap menu if you book before 7pm , so when we arrived at 7:30 it was really busy and staff were busy fulfilling all these covers. Considering we were paying full we were treated like second class citizens , and they were even hoovering as we were finishing off our meal. Also one of the toilets was covered in sick . Food was the standard I expected and remembered but the rest was disappointing for the £200 a head we paid ! I will go back but before 7PM !!

Two issues affected my lunch on this special day that could have been avoided. A mess was made of my reservation which was a nonsense. The second disappointment was that the trolley menu was woefully short on the roast rib of pork and what we were shown was not what was served. Desperation set in and the meal was served late and undercooked and was not rib.

Wilton's was all that I remembered. And more, better than ever. My Dover sole was superb, and my wife's grouse was wonderful. The Sommelier's choice was wines was also superb. The oysters were just about the best I have ever had and incredibly fresh. We lingered over wine and dessert until they were almost ready to ask us to leave, but, of course, they would never do that. Their treatment of patrons is the best.

Lunch booking for our first visit. Warm welcome and immediately shown to our table. We took advantage of the 2/3 course set lunch menu, which proved to be a great choice. Our starters were oysters and home made soup, both delicious. Mains were the Trolley of the Day (roast leg of lamb with roast potatoes and jus) and pumpkin sage butter risotto. Both were utterly enjoyable. Our servers were attentive and available to answer any queries. Thank you Yiorgos and Oleg our Sommelier for making our lunch truly memorable.

A favorite over the years. Brilliant British cuisine in an elegant, formal room. Service to match. Only possible negative is that the menu has been downsized somewhat and some items eg. Mixed grill, no longer offered.

Wiltons is a classy restaurant, the ambiance is ideal, muted lighting and elegant furnishings with well-spaced tables. The waiting staff were polite, efficient and friendly. My duck liver pate was delicious if a little colder than I expected, the grouse was too tough in places although the flavour was good. The undoubted star of the show was the plum & Almond crumble.. sensational. I will return asap.

We ate before the theater and the food was amazing! We started with the Devonshire Crab and Avocado , wonderful with their homemade cocktail sauce. I had the Cornish Plaice done meunière and it literally melted in your mouth, absolutely amazing! My husband had the beef filet and it was great. Wasn't cooked exactly as he asked, but still done well. We had the Gratin Dauphinois, french green beans and the pickled cucumber slad all were delicious. If you are in in London I highly recommend Wiltons!!!

Wilton's is one of the great classic London restaurants. The service is impeccable without being obsequious. The menu is traditional with great British fish and meat along with seasonal specialties prepared simply but well. It is quiet so that dinner-table conversation is easy, not strained. If there is a best of Britain in the restaurant category, Wilton's would be near the top of the list.

Absolutely outstanding! Everything was perfect from start to finish. Our first visit to Wilton’s and it definitely won’t be our last. Every single member of staff from the lady at reception to the sommelier to the gentleman doing the carvery & all waiters went above & beyond in providing a memorable experience. We are foodies & dine out 2/3 times a week and I can honestly say nowhere in London do you get the kind of experience you get at Wilton’s. Everyone here deserves 7 stars. The food was scrumptious- the carving trolley has a different roast everyday. On Tuesday it was Roast Rack of Blythburgh Pork Served with Roast Potatoes and Apple Compote - cooked to perfection! Wilton’s House Champagne is excellent value for money at £88 a bottle - would highly recommend it. Can’t wait to plan our next visit.

Although intentionally dated because of the age of the restaurant, the decor could use a little refreshing. The food was very good, although pricey for what you get. The service was hit and miss - timely but not overly friendly.

What a beautiful, classic, tasteful restaurant. While seafood is in abundance with lots of temptations, there is also meat and vegetarian to choose from. We both had the lobster bisque which was wonderful, then a nice monkfish and a mushroom risotto. The apple crumble with cream and a trio of ice creams topped off a very nice experience. The service was impeccable. A nice wine list had choices from France and Italy mostly. We wanted a classic London restaurant and found it!

One of my favourite restaurants. I had lunch, the smoked eel with horseradish was excellent, the liver and bacon a revelation and the waiting staff were, attentive, polite and professional. The ambience is of serene elegance and one of the only restaurants of quality that a quiet conversation can take place in peaceful surroundings. I’ll be back.

Vom Wiltons waren wir insgesamt doch sehr enttäuscht… wir wurden ausgesprochen freundlich begrüßt. Aber damit hat sich unser besonders schöner letzter Abend in London dann aber auch schon erledigt. Wir hatten bei der Reservierung um einen Tisch in einer Nische gebeten. Und den hatten wir auch. Allerdings direkt an einer Durchgangstür zu einem Raum in dem junge Leute lautstark gefeiert haben. Und es ging die ganze Zeit die Tür auf und zu. Es war laut und superstörend, so hatte ich mir das nicht vorgestellt. Und dann das Essen. Bei meiner Tochter war es wirklich sehr gut. Aber mein Essen war wirklich alles Andere als gut. Das Lammkotelett des Grilltellers war zäh und das Filetstück war komplett durch statt medium. Der dazu bestellte Brokoli verbrannt. Das ganze muss man im Verhältnis zum Preis eines solchen Restaurants sehen. Ich bin zutiefst enttäuscht..
