Wow wow wow, definitely worth going to Galvin at Windows, the attention to detail is amazing, the food is fantastic and the wine pairing with each dish was worth doing as it made the experience even better. The front of house staff are amazing and very attentive but not at all in your face they do their job to perfection and their knowledge about the food and wine shows that they are passionate about what they are doing.
Will definitely go again and couldn't recommend enough.
P.S The views of London from the 28 floor of the majestic building are amazing

What an amazing restaurant. I booked it for a very special occasion and the staff went all out to make it so. The views are spectacular and the tasting menu was fantastic. The waiter explained each dish and it really felt like we were VIPs. Thank you again to all the staff and the managers for everything you did for us. I would highly recommend Galvin at Windows to everyone and I will definitely return.

Been there 3-4 times, quality remains outstanding in the past a few years. The menu changes every now and then, so there’s always something new to explore.
The taste of dessert in picture3 is just remarkable! The taste of pear is well mixed with chocolate and cream. You guys gotta try it!
View from the restaurant is uninterrupted. only down side I can think of is that portion is a little small, the rest is all perfect.

Fine dining it is indeed! What a beautiful place and the view is superb.
I had the 4 courses set menu at £45, and my choice of white asparagus, mackerel, chicken and soufflé sooo well cooked and presented. Beautiful, delicious food, with great service and fantastic views. A very special place indeed.

This has to rate as one of the best meals. We attended for a lunch. Greeted at reception very well and directed to the 28th floor. Again Greeted well and taken to table. The service was impeccable never rushed, and never forcing additions on us. We went for the 3 course set menu and was not disappointed with any course. To say I had the beef starter, pollock main and lemon tart and my partner beef chicken and soufflé does not give a true reflection of the quality and attention to detail of what was a superb meal. Please check out the photos. We did add the pomme puree (mash potatoes to us northerners)and wow can't say I have ever had better, so smooth and buttery. The work that someone put into it should not be undervalued, truly amazing so good I had to eat the lot even the partners leftovers or I would have had to ask for a doggy back to take them home.
I can only thank the whole team for a truly memorable experience from the atmosphere, service and quality of food.

Been there 3 times before covid. This visit menu changes, something new to try but not impressive anymore. We didn’t eat meat so the chef changed sth to to fit us.
I remember last time service was brilliant, this time a bit goes down, i guess everything changes after covid. I would try other fancy restaurants instead of coming back for my next london trip.

Food was delicious!!!!! Service was outstanding! I was taken here for my birthday. I'm gluten and lactose intolerant and I do not eat meat, they catered to my every need and then some - whenever one of us left the table, we were greeted with a freshly rolled napkin and chair pulled out and the servers awaiting to get us comfortable again 🥰 the chef, jheez, the CHEFFF 😍 made me a special gluten and dairy free Ferrero Roché cake, tears rolled I was so happy lol and it was so delicious 😋 gosh (They also have gluten free bread rolls, warm - outstanding 🤪). This is the best restaurant I have ever been to in my life! Forgetting to mention the view- It was snowing and looking out the window from the 20 something floor made it even more magical ✨️ Thank you to the Main guy, ironing the tablecloths and clearing the table as soon as guests were finished. I found it amusing that the first 3 tables were all celebrating our Birthdays, we gave a cheers to eachother whilst consuming deliciousness to the NTH degree.

I came here for my birthday/ anniversary lunch with my partner last week.
The service was out of this world ( hence the 4 stars) but the food was not so great unfortunately.
I have had much better quality food in 2 rosette restaurants elsewhere - outside of London.
To be honest, I actually left feeling a bit sick. The food was edible, however wasn't up to scratch for an ex michelin star.
The starter was lovely, and as the courses went on it generally got worse. The profitarole at the end as a birthday/anniversary gift was lovely though (which wasn't on the menu). However the Rubarb sofflé, was the worst course out of the lot.
The food was fresh and good value for 4 courses but I wouldn't go here again. The way it was all cooked was the reason. I can see why they lost a michelin star (sorry to say it). They need to change their menu a little and have something a bit more up to date/tasting better. The menu is a bit old fashioned.
The Mars cocktail wasn't great either. Definatly not to my taste.
However, on to the positive part... The reason for the 4 stars is definatly the service. We couldn't fault it. The staff were lovely!! It's just a shame about the food.

Truly excellent. The staff were all friendly and attentive but discreet, and the view at sunset is spectacular. Food and wine was all delicious, and included the best piece of venison I've ever had. They coped well with my sister's allergies.

Definitely the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had. The view is spectacular and the waiters are very friendly and nice. I have asked when I reserve for a table by the window but when I got there it wasn’t as I have requested so I explained that I really would prefer it by the window and they have helped me to get one .
Waiters are very fast and polite I think the vibes are great because of them.
I was very pleased.it is unforgettable experience. I would like to visit it again and enjoy the beautiful view.
Food is good but very small portion.
The bill was about 130 £ .

Incredible views and Amazing service, very attentive staff.

Considering that the restaurant is sitting atop a skyscraper, my hopes were sky high expecting a 360° outdoor view. As advertised in their website, it looks amazingly impressive. However, the table that was assigned from the reservation was completely indoor and it seemed like there aren't any outdoor tables at all so that was a let-down. Now, speaking with the indoor setting, the interiors were a tad bit bland. In the digital age, the overhyped social media, I would say, even the interiors weren't "instagrammable". I could hardly remember the ceiling view, and there weren't any elements that could make me say that it is well thought out. As for my gastronomic experience, I can pretty much say it was worth it. The staff service was phenomenal, keenly attentive and accommodating to their customers. Their sommelier shared insights on the type of wine on their list and which best to pair with the main course. Their lavatory feels especially comfortable and fragrant and that makes it quite important to a full-functioning restaurant. On that note, this makes me curious of their sister restaurant, Galvin La Chapelle. Crossing my fingers, of course.

This was an amazing experience, went for a birthday and it was empty when we went, the service was impeccable and views where amazing. They explained each dish with each pairing of wine, and accommodated us nicely. Even with the price tag I would highly recommend for special occasions.

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Attentive friendly staff. Would definitely recommend 😊😍

I actually did the review for the Hilton hotel. It was a lovely venue with a view of London. The staff were very nice and friendly. But as I said before food very disappointing and very expensive. Tiny portions beautifully presented but to me lacking in flavour. For £300.00 plus for three of us I would have expected better.
I worked in the West of of London for many years and ate and drank in all of the major hotels and restaurants and I know what I am talking about..

Fantastic food, great service and wonderful views. All in all, a culinary delight!

Beautiful venue. Wonderful staff. Special shout out to the host with epic braids for being a sweetheart! They were very kind honestly; had a Groupon from 2020 they honoured as lockdown meant we couldn't attend sooner. Food was delicious (and I'm a fussy eater so extra kudos). Recommended.
S. L.
A long anticipated return to a favourite dinner spot and it was fabulous. The warm welcome is quite unique to this venue, it truly feels like everyone is sharing the joy. The food was as delicious as ever, excellent wine choice supported by the sommeliers wise words. Cheese is an absolute must. The weakest link tonight was dessert. Overall I say make yourself a reservation, put in your glad rags and celebrate going out out.
V. P.
Absolutely delicious food, chef was very accommodating about our vegan and gluten free dietary needs and the menu was nice and varied. We particularly enjoyed the soup, risotto, and desserts. The views are fantastic, price per dish is therefore expensive but took my mother there for a Mother’s Day meal so lovely as a treat experience. Wonderful service from our servers Antonio and Adriana which made it all worth it. The fact that staff introduced themselves by name was a nice touch, and made the experience more personal!
Just be aware that due to popularity, you may have the table for two hours (we felt like the end of our meal was slightly rushed but the staff were very nice and offered to let us finish our drinks in the bar, which we decided not to do). Hence we’ll still give this experience a five star :)

Came here to celebrate my fiancés birthday. The lady at the front desk took my coat and off we went to our table. I specifically requested a table by the window however I was placed right at the corner with a slight peak of the view. I understand it can be difficult to have the table by the window so It didn't bother me as much. As being vegetarians, I specifically wrote to them and also spoke to them over the phone about our requirements but I felt like they were extremely unorganised and kept coming to the table to verify my requests. It was slightly frustrating at first because I did make it very clear that we don't have any egg or fish as well as no alcohol in our meal and yet they kept bringing the manager to confirm. I chose the 5 course tasting menu. The appitisor was lovely to begin with. Our starter which was soup was also very delicious. Then comes our second dish some salad and then our third dish again some fruit/salad and then our main which I don't even know what it was called but it was OK. Veganism/vegetarian is so out there and with the fact that this restaurant didn't have much to offer was a slight let down even though I asked them several times before booking if it's suitable. Instead of two dishes of salad, they could've made something that was worth the money. I'm not here to criticise this place as I did enjoy my time being there. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were very kind and the whole overall experience was good but we came for the food and I spent 228 pounds on food that wasn't even satisfying. Work on vegan/vegetarian food, make it more creative, work on the taste and then let me know so I can make another visit !!

Extremely special experience in a beautiful restaurant with stunning views, excellent food and above all helpful and lovely, lovely staff. We have hosted two "special" occasions here, a lunch and dinner and both were beyond excellent. I wish that I could name all the staff individually as all were truly excellent. Thank you!

We have visited here several times over the years & we’ve always found this fine dining restaurant to be 1st class.
The staff are very friendly, helpful & welcoming, while the restaurant itself is always presented to the highest standards.
The views of London from the 28th floor are spectacular.
We only visit for special treats but we have visited when there are special offers or events.
Our latest visit was for the 3 course bunch menu at a very reasonable price of £29pp which included a Bellini.
Overall it’s well worth a visit here as you’ll have lifelong memories of London in a fine dining iconic restaurant.
B. G.
Excellent food, great service and those views... We had the 3 course plus a cocktail for £55 and and extra cake for my birthday (candle included). The staff is incredibly friendly and they went the extra mile while I was waiting 30 minutes for my date to turn up. They send a postcard (with vies from the restaurant) anywhere in the world...
L. M.
Fantastic food, flawless service and incredible views. We had the three course and Bellini for £33 and were very impressed having never eaten at a restaurant like this. Portion sizes were just right - enough to enjoy each mouthful but not so much as to over face. Excellently presented too. Drinks were a little dear (£6 for a bottle of water, £40 minimum for a bottle of wine, etc) but otherwise an excellent experience
L. L.
We went there for the 3-course meal deal which also includes a complimentary bellini for £33pp. The service was great, very professional but a bit slow at times. It was a shame that the weather was gloomy on the day we dine there otherwise the view over hyde park would have been stunning - still got a great view of winter wonderland though.
Food was good overall and I like the fact that they offer free postcard postage service anywhere around the world. Unfortunately, there's a constant howling noise from the wind blowing through the slight gap in the window. It was a bit disturbing to the whole dining experience so I hope the restaurant gets it fixed soon.
T. f. g.
We had the server Richard, was very lovely and professional. Made the experience outstanding. Have to say staff as a whole were lovely.
Had the five course tasting menu, in my personal opinion some of the dishes while interesting in ideas were maybe too far with flavours clashing one another like the cured trout with burnt leak oil or lamb with black olive crumble. However the dessert was faultless.
Moreover I am a believer in trying out new things and seeing where creativity leads. Overall was an experience that was engaging and have to applaud the staff for their hospitality.
S. R.
Great place with amazing food and service!

Impeccable service and delicious food. The portions were very generous for a Michelin star restaurant. The staff were very professional and always available. I had the £33 lunch menu with a complimentary Bellini. I was very happy with the food, the table and the service.

Amazing place. Brilliant atmosphere. Staff are amazing. Really polite and helpful. The venue is so well presented and very clean. The drinks menu is vast, very vast and there is something for everyone. It may be a bit pricey but for where it is it really is great value. The food is truly amazing, so full of flavour and cooked to perfection. There are amazing views of London as it is on the 28th floor so bring a good camera. Seriously, people need to come here to experience it. My new favourite place for a drink and meal
J.
Outstanding experience. We first had a drink at the bar with beautiful views over much of London before enjoying the sublime 5-course tasting menu. Attention to detail, service and quality all unquestionably good. They even gave us a complementary celebration cake. Highly recommend for a treat.
The French cheese starter was the best dish.
P. D.
First time to visit with a friend. Came a bit early so was directed to the bar to relax. Was sat down at the side so not much of a view to see. Excellent service all throughout. Staff are attentive and unobtrusive. Food was superb! Hope my next visit will get to sit with the view.

This is an uber chic high end French restaurant with a lovely relaxing lounge bar to the side.
Galvin at Windows is everything you would expect from this top French restaurant home to Fred from First Dates and wonderful founder Chris Galvin. The head chef Joo Won has influenced classic French dishes with a Korean twist this summer. We had the cucumber soup with mackerel to start, marinated beetroot with goats cheese, both light and full of flavour.
Our mains were good, Cornish pie,a posh twist excellently executed with featherblade beef and mustard emulsion and pickles. My Pollock was perfectly cooked but I personally didn't enjoy the watercress emulsion, which had fermented kimchi undertones (it wasn't bad just not to my taste) the desserts were deliciously decadent.
Beautiful views of London, and we timed our meal perfectly to see the spectacular sunset.
Service was faultless with waiters pushing you back into your chair each time you returned to your seat.
Really good for a special occasion.
Highly recommend
Be warned, you'll need deeper pockets. Our meal without alcohol was £160 for two for three courses x
L. I.
Treated to breathtaking views from our table. The food matched the view and was not easy! The Eaton Mess was the best I had in years. Service was brilliant and the fixed menu lunch offer was exceptional value for money
C. M.
Yummmm! I've always wanted to go to a Michelin star restaurant. My fiance was kind enough to take me for my birthday while we were in London. We got one of the lunch deals to make it a little more affordable. It was divine and beautiful! The service was amazing and the staff extremely friendly. And the view was wonderful.
M. M.
The food here is exquisite and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food served. Fred (from first dates) used to be the maitre d' here and ensured that the waiters were on top of their game. So the service was great, the food divine and the views spectacular. We came here for my husband's birthday and he was very happy with my choice.
J. E.
We had a enjoyable 3 course dinner at Galvin at Windows. We used the Menu du chef - 3-course dinner and bellini deal on OpenTable for £37 per person. The complimentary drink was tasty but was only half a Champaign flute. All the courses were tasty and fairly well presented. The starters and main didn’t really wow or scream Michelin Star restaurant though. The dessert was exceptionally tasty on the other hand. I’d go back for that alone.
Staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. The complimentary postcard they gave each of us that they then sent anywhere in the world was a nice touch.
K. N.
Fantastic food, amazing views and attentive service. Couldn't fault any single thing about the experience. We tried the pre theatre menu and it's very good value. Would definitely come back for another special occasion.
A. “.
Not the first time dinning at Galvin at Windows but this time found it quite disappointing. The breads provided were not fresh at all. The kimchi risotto is supposed to be one of their signature dishes but instead of kimchi, all we could taste was the egg. The kingfish sashimi was quite good. The fish was buttery and the pickle and sauce complimented the fish. As for mains, the beef ribs was ok but not amazing. The hake and pork belly is a bit of a weird combination. The pork belly with red cabbage and Gochujang tasted good together but with the fish on top, I just don’t see the link between them.
I think the highlight of the whole dinner was the chocolate, banana, peanut butter and walnut soufflé. It was baked to perfection. Light and fluffy. The peanut butter ice cream was good too. Apple tarte tatin was not as good as the soufflé but still decent.
Given the price for dinner, there are a lot of other options in London to get much better food. I think big part of the price is for the exceptional view and attentive service. Sadly, I don’t think I will go back again anytime soon.
D. J.
Had a beautiful New Year’s Eve with incredible food and wine. The service from the guys who work there is next level, they made us feel so special and we thank them for making the night so good.
The venison on the menu was the best thing I’ve ever eaten!
K. C.
The service was excellent and attentive. The food was OK. Maybe it's because I was expecting a little more from a Michelin starred restaurant. The dessert was basically a lemon sponge cake with some strawberries and cream on top and the cake at the bottom was a bit dry. I ordered from their fixed menu, but still, the quality of the food should not decline because of that. The main fish was good though, crispy on the top and juicy underneath.
E. R.
I took my 90 year old Nan here as a special birthday treat before The Proms. They really went out of their way to make someone who isn't used to fine dining, really special. The food was lovely as always; we went for the pre theatre menu. Rilettes or a fish dish followed by Coq au vin, another fish option , then chocolate fondant or a walnut cake. All options were delightful, superbly cooked and filling despite seeming small. Service was excellent- they even held Nan's arm when walking to the toilet! She was so pleased. Thank you for making her birthday so wonderful
N. W.
My absolute favorite dining experience in London hands down! I went for the Sunday 3 course lunch menu and was blown away by the service, staff, flavors and ofcourse the incredible views. I was dining on my own and the staff made me feel right at home. The Kimchi risotto out of this world and even the marshmallows at the end melted in your mouth! Thank you to all for a wonderful day. I will be back again!

As one enters the bustling shabby foyer of the Hilton hotel to proceed to the drab lift to ascend to the 28th floor, one is uncertain of what to expect.
The 28th floor is a different world to the foyer with understated decor and an impressive view.
We had a 3 course menu deal and the food couldn't have been more perfect. It is executed to perfection with innovative flavours. I recommend the trout, sea bream and cream tart.
One thing that did surprise me was the variation in service quality. From a passive aggressive waitress to really friendly to overly friendly. Everything else managed to compensate however.
S. W. T.
Located at the 28th floor of London Hilton by Hyde Park, it gives a panoramic view of the London landscape by Hyde Park. We had lunch here and there is a bar for drinks before the meal start. We tried the three course set lunch, and for starters we had the kimchi risotto, Galvin smoked salmon, marinated iberico pork. Mains were pan fried sea brim, fillet of halibut, slow cooked pork belly and Sunday Roast beef. Service was excellent and experience worthy of the Michelin Star.
D. H.
Got a Travelzoo deal for here, and bless them they acted completely normally about that. Staff super attentive to my heavily pregnant wife. And well educated on the dietary minefield of the condition too. Food lovely. Views great. Only disappointment; didn't meet Fred.
K. Y.
There was deal for 3 courses (lunch set menu) and a Bellini for £30. I have to say I was impressed considering how simple the ingredients were, yet had surprising depth. The pea purée, mushroom, kumquat, courgette and cucumber salad was balanced with a hint of saltiness from the oil (kind of tasted like duck). The kumquat added a hint of bitterness and sweetness. The braised pollock was bland but the sauce and eggplant with Provence herbs added strong kick. The peach tart came with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, a ribbon of fruit leather, pansies and freeze-dried strawberry meringue. Creamy, light, fruity and a buttery base.
The service was incredible. Attentive. Very nice views and clean toilets. When I asked for the check, they brought out green apple and raspberry marshmallows.
S. K.
It was WOW! I and my boyfriend came to this place for our anniversary. The one of the reasons I’ve been longing to visit this place is a floor rotation. Unfortunately you will not feel it but I’m pretty sure the view from our table looked different in the end of the meal. It’s very slight.
We chose a tasting menu which is different wines will be served on each meal. The professional waiter will tell you the story of the history of each wines which was fun to listen and the harmony of the wine and food was just amazing. The appearance of each meal was full of colours with the taste, venison’s pie was my favourite.. also the pre dessert. It was ‘ Tarragon and dill sorbet, yogurt form Parmesan chiffon cake’. Sweet and savoury combination worked so well! So the main dessert...banoffee ice cream with chantilly cream and toasted pecan. Mmm. The homemade marshmallow came but it was a bit too much for the end of the meal. The room was a little chilly however it was fantastic experience over all. I could be there for a whole day to check the floor rotates....!
K. D.
Groupon deal great value. Bellini on arrival and 4 courses. £79 for 2 people. Front of house were great and we didn't feel the pressure to buy anything else. Although we did have a glass of delicious malbec. Fred spoke to all the guests. The whole experience was delightful. No photo of the first course. It looked so good we just dived in. The warm bread knot was the best ever.
G. C.
Went here for dinner with a Groupon. Found the food quite bland and pretty disappointing. Service was good, though a little aggressive in upselling. Views of the city are nice if you are in the bar, or if you can get a table by the window. Not entirely worth it, even with a Groupon.
R. H.
A pre dinner drink in 10 Degrees Bar then Dinner from the A La Carte menu was an excellent way of celebrating a delayed Wedding Anniversary and Birthday. Fine Wines by the glass to match the three courses and made to feel very special by Peter Avis the Restaurant Team. A perfect evening.
P. M.
28th floor stunning views over Lon city. Large selection of signature cocktails & dishes. Memorable experience for any occasion.
S. S.
Amazing food, great service and stunning location. We've had a set menu and every dish was delicious. The fillet steak as well as the lobster tail were cooked to perfection. After the dinner we enjoyed the views over a cocktail in the bar. I'd definitely recommend visiting this restaurant for a lovely high end dinner.

If you want a grand view of London head here. The view is absolutely breathtaking especially before the sunsets. The food is alright and reasonably priced. However, the catch is on the drinks which I found over priced that I ended up with a bill far bigger than what I spend on food and drinks in a 2 Michelin-starred restaurant. Overall it is great place to dine but be ware, go early in order to get a table with a view. Would recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy a nice meal in a beautifully located restaurant but doesn’t want to spend silly prices on drinks

Not a big fan of pork belly and was disappointed with pecorino sardo (a firm Italian cheese made from sheep milk) but chocolate fondant was amazing 😍 Salmon was lovely but defo prefer raw salmon in a Japanese way. Mackerel fillet was yummy, just that it was way too small that I could easily finish in one bite 😂 View was stunning, would defo come back to the bar with friends for drinks
E. T.
Went there for my birthday - couldn’t ask for more. Food is super good, the staff is friendly and the view is astonishing. Ask for a table close to the windows
E. R.
Great place with an incredible view of the city.
Offers 3 different degustation menus and also a “kids friendly” menu.
Flawless plates and very attentive service with a very extensive wine list.

We have been before to a fine dining meal which was superb. This 'cocktails and sharing platter' was good but amount so so little...the tart one each was size of a 50p. Was seated in the bar area..ok..views not so good but still amazing.
S. J.
Quality fine dining, professional service, romantic worth every penny. This is my 3rd visit and the standards are always high.

Superb dining experience. Outstanding food and excellent attention to diners' preferences.

What's not to love about this super high floor with spectacular 360 views across Hyde Park and W. End, attentive table service, great DJs on a Friday... before lockdown this was the go-to of my girlfriend's and I to get dolled up and have a chin wag and be able to hear each other. Good for any season. Never ate here... the drinks were pricey enough!
x. “.
Love it here. They even gave us the best table overlooking Hyde Park. Very kind, courteous and accommodating. Thank you all of your team!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this luxurious restaurant. Extraordinary OLIVES, outstanding meals and friendly staff. Needless to mention the wonderful view!

Great food, excellent service, it does make up for the dirty windows and dirty old carpet.

Based on a recommendation we booked a meal this evening.
From the greeting at the door to our table everyone on staff was so welcoming and friendly.
After a relaxed cocktail in the bar with an amazing view we were taken to the gorgeous dining room.
And what an excellent meal we had. We choose the 7 course taster with wine.
Each and every course was presented, plated and cooked to utter perfection.
The wine pairings by our sommelier were inventive and exceptional.
This was a culinary experience but with a relaxed atmosphere. It's an evening out not before or after anything else - a destination dining experience!
ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED.
N. M.
The food here was phenomenal, the service was faultless, and the views were incredible. Great setting for a special occasion.
T. B.
Had a great meal here. The service was probably the best I have ever experienced in London and they are really children friendly. They give kids a goodie bag which keep them busy whilst you can enjoy the view. Would highly recommend.
E. M. C.
Sooooooooooo gorgeous. Everything was amazing, awe inspiring views, great cocktails, amazing food, awesome service. They have this particular 40 year old Graham Portuguese port that's really something else.
R. G.
Best place to celebrate our 6th anniversary. Tasty food and top service! We would come back!
J. M.
Great Brunch. Service impeccable (as you'd expect from a starred restaurant). Lovely leisurely brunch, couldn't fault it if I tried.

The view is simply amazing. Service and food are exceptional. Lovely touch with the postcards that can be sent anywhere in the world. Finished off with a selection of cocktails in the bar from the new passport menu. Galvin, I shall be back soon.
E. G.
Fantastic food and service with an amazing view. Set menu was very reasonable and included a belini. I have visited twice and would definitely recommend.
A. G.
We had a lovely meal and had the pleasure of going with the taster menu and wines. Galvin at Windows had long been on my list of restaurants I wanted to visit, but on this occasion I feel they failed to deliver to a Michelin standard. The female sommelier was the shining example to the team, giving just the right level of information and attention. however, due to the slow service of the courses was forced to regularly top up the wines for each course due to the slow service. Not sure if it was the front of house team or expediting of food from the kitchen. Overall I feel it failed to deliver on the standards one would expect. Would definitely choose to go back to Fera at claridges over Windows based on this visit. it's a shame as it's been on my bucket list for years
T. S.
Lovely 6 course meal with amazing food and a beautiful view for my birthday.
A. L.
Sorry couldn’t resist taking a bite before the photo :P....Food was yummy with great service. Views were amazing too! Cannot wait to return!

Fabulous food and service - a great experience. Lovely resturant with views over London. Particularly loved the kimchi risotto.

The food and service were excellent, very friendly professional staff. A sublime experience, I will definitely be returning!

Impeccable service, very, very good food, lovely view and overall perfection. Had a wonderful dinner . Want to go back for the homemade marshmallows alone.
A. M.
Over visits that tally more than a decade, Galvin at windows has become a regular and reliable destination for those high end meals that matter. Birthday, anniversary, closing a deal... Even as an incentive / service training my team.
Brunch, lunch or dinner - Fred and the team can be guaranteed to provide a meal and service experience as spectacular as the view.
A London favourite.
P. G.
My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and were given a surprise dessert. The food and staff were excellent!
S. T.
Visited the newly revamped bar 10° and although on the more expensive side (£16 a cocktail) service was exceptional and the drinks very good. You're really paying for the view which covers both sides of London and was way above expectations.
L. L.
Sensational evening spent eating excellent food for a good price. The views are unparalleled.
A.
Fantastic food, nice atmosphere, and lovely staff! Highly recommend it!

We’ve been here several times and it’s always been a lovely experience. The customer service seemed particularly impressive today. The views across London are excellent although obscured from rain today. The food is well presented fine dining and has always been delicious. The photos are from the hotel lounge and the bar area of the restaurant.

This is not a first time we have been there, as always the food was great and service exeptional. Special thanks to Mateo for advise on wine and all over great costumer care! Grazie Forza Sardegna !
Strongly recommended to everyone who loves food and drinks !

I came here for my 1 year anniversary and it was fantastic. I loved the service. The food was amazing, full of flavour. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. I would love to come back again for dinner.

Wonderful food thanks to the chefs, very attentive friendly staff. Décor a bit dated and drinks are a bit pricey
J. O.
great views of London, excellent cocktails & the sharing platter we had was delicious. The staff were exceptional & very welcoming.
M. S.
Well balanced tasting menu, going through all types of meat, from fish to beef and pork. Service was very good, helpful staff, recommended a good wine for the menu. Nice view, overall worth visiting.
C. F.
An amazing experience in every way. Here is an establishment that is committed to making you feel really special. The welcome , Henrico, our waiter, the delicious and beautiful food, the stunning view following our brief walk through the kitchens and the friendly greetings of the staff there, all contributed to a memorable, delightful afternoon. We are so grateful to our very good friends who treated us.
K. L.
Took my team for dinner and we had a good time there. The food did not have much of a surprise factor but was very pleasant all in all. Wine was great. The seafood main went cold quite quickly but was cooked perfectly. Nice complimentary offer to send postcards to anywhere in the world which was a cool surprise. Will recommend.
Btw, after 3 years, that post card still hasn't arrived at my parents... what do you think happened there?
J. P.
Spectacular views of London, very polite and attentive staff, good food. Really what you would expect for the price.
R. H.
Absolutely amazing experience! The staff are wonderful and nothing is too much with exquisite foods and outstanding views!

Family visited this five star French restaurant on the 28th floor. The restaurant comes with a nice view.
C.
Absolutely stunning view of London. We fortunately received a window overlooking Hyde Park which was beautiful. The servers were lovely and extremely helpful and cautious throughout the whole dinner and the food was delicious. I especially loved the flavour of the lobster in the risotto!
O. S.
Went here for my partner's birthday on Friday night. Worth every penny. Most delicious food we've ever tasted. Both had the [Pressed chicken, foie gras & celeriac, truffle emulsion, hazelnut & green beans] to start and the [Fillet of Scotch beef, glazed ox cheek, pomme boulangère, foie gras & red wine jus] as a main. These were both phenomenally good.
Our sommelier for the evening was fantastic - she took on board courteously my honesty that we weren't looking to spend more than £50 on wine and took into account our food choices to give us a couple of red wine options, giving very knowledgeable insight into the differences between them.
We finished the meal with a complimentary birthday dessert which was also delicious and some digestifs (armagnac and cognac respectively) and a look out to night skyline view of the city in the bar on the east side of the building.
No complaints. Fantastic - 10/10. Would recommend to anyone looking for a special meal out.
S. C.
Great view. Good food. But the lunch set menu is not as great a deal after they charged £7 for sparking water, £7 for Oliver, and £7 for a tiny side of broccoli.
T. A.
Amazing meal, one of the best I've ever had, service was incredible and lovely ambiance
L. K.
Fabulous food and really nice staff, highly recommend. And incredible views from the 28th floor!

An amazing service with waiters who do really take care of customer. Food is fine and delicious

Wine pairing was outstanding. The waiter was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Great choice of wines.
Views were lovely.
Presentation was excellent.
Food was good.
Negative - due to Covid situation, restaurant had to close buy 10pm. We were asked for drink or tea at 5 minutes to closing. We had to leave our tea half finished.
To top it off, the room leader made totally inappropriate joke saying there were two ways out, "through the door or through the window".
D. C.
Lovely views..great cognac selection and interesting food
C. H.
Wonderful lunch, staff can't do enough for you and the service is impeccable with fantastic food.

Came for the Sunday roast beef as a birthday treat. Unfortunately I’ve had plenty of better cheaper Sunday roasts elsewhere. My feeling is are paying for the location. Wouldn’t recommend or return.

Went to Galvin at the Windows with the family, and had a fabulous time. Fantastic service and great views of London, before going off to the bar to listen to some great tunes before heading home. Would definitely go back as we all had a great time.

The food was amazing and the service was very good, it was a meal to remember, the non alcoholic cocktails were the best I've ever tasted, I will definitely be back.

Favourite restaurant in London. Food is divine, service is perfection, drinks are superb and view is the best. It just never disappoints.
R. H.
Get a window seat and book to catch the sunset, it goes perfectly with fine dining! Totally worth it and the service is very attentive and professional, although we already stated our dietary requirements in advance, my friend didn't know my wife doesn't eat beef but the waitress overheard and changed it for us without hesitation which made us feel taken care of. The professionalism is second to none and not intimidating.
G. F.
Loved the food and staff. View is great as well

Very pretty restaurant. Friendly service. They should have poured the champagne in front of me. Restaurant could have had more vegan and gluten free choices- I was offered a barely risotto as a main course, the waitress obviously wasn’t aware that barely contains gluten. There is a vegan menu. I asked for any kind of vegetable combination either grilled or sautéed (they brought me steamed vegetables) which was a little boring. The appetizer was vegan and gluten free and was very tasteful. The main could have been more creative. Cocktail bar next door. Go for the view, it’s on top of the Hilton Hotel and is gorgeous.
V. R.
Very nice! Excellent view, food and service!
N. M.
The cheese platter and burgers are absolutely to die for! Totally delicious and so amazing to have the spectacular view for it as well! Must visit!
F. B.
Dined here a few times before so chose it for our special anniversary celebration. The location never disappoints and the staff were as attentive and helpful as always. On past visits we have always had trouble choosing from the many interesting dishes on offer. This time however, we had difficulty finding something that appealed. The menu seems to be trying too hard to be different and each dish had so many ingredients they each seemed to be one step too far. I'm sure we'll visit again but it may not be for some considerable time.
A. T.
An amazing experience. The service was very professional, the food was so exquisite! The starter I had was a velvety mushroom sauce with a poached egg, and I can't believe how tasty that was even though the ingredients were so simple. After asking the waiter if I could switch one of the main meals between two set menus, he said it probably won't be possible, but the chef decided to prepare me a small taster portion of the other main I wanted! Plus of course the actual main I ordered from my set menu. I totally recommend this restaurant for special occasions!
S. L.
Incredible food and excellent service. It's well deserving of the Michelin star. Probably the best combination of food, drink, service and view in London.
D. B.
Best restaurant in London. Amazing views of London to Hyde park and Buckingham palace. The greeting very nice and service amazing. Our flat iron steak was delicious and deserts were really good too. Perfect to celebrate special occasions. Will be coming back!
A. G.
My second time eating here, it is absolutely lovely. The panoramic views of London are stunning and watching the sunset is amazing. The food is so beautifully made with such care and so delicious, service is incredible, thank you for making it so special it is such a treat to go!
E. E.
Not bad but they have nothing against the peacock pub…
M. M.
I can’t belive that I haven’t taken time to review this place. The day I started to frequent this marvellous restaurant and lounge, the staff made it a mission to get to know me and make me welcome all the time. I can see that they care about there customers very well.
The views the ambience is just amazing. The drinks the cocktails are just fantastic. When you visit the Michelin Star restaurant the food and service is amazing. Lovely wines as well. They will help to choose one for your taste and food.
It’s a evening out so don’t rush and just enjoy.
Sum up: Fantastic
A. B.
Very few restaurants have maintained service and quality through Covid. Galvin does not disappoint.
D. d. D.
Michelin star deserved? If food quality is the only metric, then yes. Service is pushy and automatic, like a routine. Felt my wife and I were being processed through during her birthday dinner. However, nice views if you manage to snag a window table. Prices are fair with a good wine list.
P. M.
Every day I would eat here; Tourist, local, on business, unemployed, this place is so very nice.
I'm 800 miles away, which is a long way in the UK, still, and think of it every day.
Had a bottle of wine for £100 or so and it was stunning!
Returned the next day for tea and champagne.
This is simply the best roof bar around.
L. O.
A birthday treat from my best friend and it was amazing! The staff were perfect! Really attentive and highly professional. They made us feel welcomed. The set menu was value for money and it included a Bellini. The views from the 28th floor are stunning! Well worth a visit. Thanks very much!
D. D.
Amazing food, fabulous service. An exceptional dining experience every time.

few days ago I had dinner at Galvin with my sister for her birthday. everything was Perfect from beginning to end. service was very professional and approachable, waiters spoke french with us which we really appreciated. the food was amazing, very fresh and tasty!! we will definitively come back !
K.
Had the 5 Course Tasting Menu for lunch today. Reception staff gave a warm welcome and all the waiting staff were friendly and extremely attentive but not obtrusive.
Nice strawberry Bellini to start and all 5 courses were delicious, the pork belly in particular was amazing.
Best of all, my wife got to meet Fred who was happy to pose for a photo with both of us and have a quick chat, made her day.
The views are lovely, especially so on a nice clear and sunny day.
I particularly liked the after dinner drinks trolley, some amazing brandies on offer.
Overall first class 👌
S. L.
Yes the views are great, but there's a lot more to this place than just a good location.
To begin our night, the bar was smart and comfortable with a nice atmosphere, and of course the great view.
In the restaurant we chose the tasting menu as it was a birthday celebration. All seven courses were delicious but particular favourites were those where the chef has added a little of his Korean influence. The service was excellent and we were very well looked after, especially as they went the extra mile for the birthday celebration.
Overall a very enjoyable and memorable evening.
D. B.
Fantastic restaurant with a great tasting menu and outstanding service. The only caveat is that you get what you pay for.
C. O.
Had a wonderful (joint) birthday here with friends. The service is impeccable, staff are chatty & friendly & the manager brought us two! birthday puddings with candles...Superb twenty eighth floor views of London skyline & a great place for celeb spotting.
A. G.
Such fantastic food and wonderful old school service. Wine sommeliers are often a little condescending but the chap here was such a delight and gave us some wonderful advice. In fact all the staff made you feel so welcome. Every dish we ate was incredible and I think I could have eaten everything on the menu. The puddings were impossible to chose between! Also incredible views of the London.
C. B.
We went on a Saturday evening with another couple. It was random rather than anything special. I asked multiple times at point of reservation for a table with a view, ie adjacent to a window. They were very nice about it by caveating they couldn’t guarantee anything. They delivered. View was extraordinary. Food was very good. Service was very good. Wine was excellent. All in was £200/plate with the £82 prix fixe and a £196 bottle of Puligny-Montrachet white. I’d go back. I thought it was lovely. My partner described it as “fine...we paid for the view”. I think it was better. I’m still thinking about the perfect risotto dish I started with and the brilliantly executed stone bass.
B.
Very good food, my fish was cooked perfectly, the salmon starter was divine and apple tart exactly like my granny used to do it (not with dripping oil like in other places). The only problem is the super busy atmosphere, felt like in a busy bus junction rather than Michelin start restaurant. The restaurant overlooking London from 28th floor could be a fantastic romantic spot but it feels too rushed and super laud dance music from next door bar/club is not helping. One comment to the chef - the food was cold within 3 min from serving to the table, it could have something to do that the air conditioning was right above our heads and blowing quite strongly. Good choice of wine with a super nice sommelier.
B. C.
Great view and an excellent prefix menu to go with it. The overall presentation was nice but some of the dishes were a bit over salted for me. The service was excellent and when one of our friend was late to dinner, they let us stay all the wait until past closing time. I really appreciate the service of everyone working there.
A. C.
I had a Christmas dinner here once at a work event and the food and drink was absolutely fantastic. Everything tasted amazing. The staff were all very professional and courteous. The views are absolutely breathtaking and it's a good place to get the feel of this great city. If you're looking for something to really treat yourself with then I'd recommend Galvin at Windows.
a. m.
Woow best food, the most attentive waiters and staff by far was a great birthday celebration with some iconic views
R. C.
Fantastic dinner and fantastic service! Enjoyed the kimchi risotto and the hake which were both extremely tasty and very well done. Combine it with the great view of London and you get an amazing dinner. Highly recommended!
S.
One of the best Restaurants to go to for fine dining French cuisine & service.
The staff are simply the best... Nothing is too much for them, we were looked after & tended to throughout our time in this most beautiful restaurant. I cant rate it high enough. Thank you Galvins for making my first experience here truly memorable. It was a fantastic experience of how a restaurant should be.
A very merry Christmas to you all 🎅🌲🌲🌲
B. N.
Sunday afternoon with family - great food, excellent service and superb views. It was a pleasure to dine there.
K. P. (.
My boyfriend and I came here earlier this year for our anniversary dinner, and I'd highly recommend this place to anyone else looking for a special place to dine. The views are stunning and you'll be able to get a view no matter where you sit. The waiters and hosts are very friendly and helpful, and will definitely make you feel at-ease if you're not used to this type of dining. (Jeff and I certainly weren't, but they answered all of our questions without making us feel silly!) The food was incredible (as you'd expect) and, despite the price, we felt we got a good value for our money. I can't afford to eat here every week, but I've been looking for excuses to come back ever since!
M. R.
Lovely dining experience, as you would expect from a Michelin starred restaurant. Beautiful views and nice service with excellent food. The lunch three course menu for £32 is relatively good value.
H. A.
Went for a meal last night. Only 3 stars due to lack of ambience, was incredibly noisy like a canteen, and also very small portion size. The food was lovely but just not enough of it to call it a meal. Left feeling very hungry which for the price we paid was not acceptable.
P. R.
Great views over Buckingham Palace and London. The food was good and well-presented. The service was overall decent, but we felt rushed by the waiter to order and then at the conclusion of our meal to move to the lounge as they needed the table.
W. S.
I went to Galvin at Windows with my girlfriend to celebrate a special occasion. We both came away feeling that we had picked the perfect restaurant. The food was fantastic, with exceptional service throughout. Although on the expensive side, it was certainly worth it. Thank you for helping to make it a memorable night!
D. W.
Flawless. Impeccable service, superb menu. Very informed staff with regard to allergens, willing and able to adapt many of the dishes to cater for coeliacs. Food cooked and presented with precision perfection. It had been many years since I last visited here but I shall not leave it anywhere near as long to return.
L. A.
Had the tasting menu and enjoyed every mouthful. My dining companion selected the wines and was impressed by the sommelier's breadth of knowledge. Service throughout was excellent. Pre dinner drinks in the bar were promptly served from a good cocktail selection.
I would definitely come back.
E. H.
This is my fifth visit to Galvin I’ve the period of about 6 years. I have seen the menus changing and developing, currently showing Asian influences. Every time we visit, it is always a brilliant experience with a sharp, charismatic service and superb food and wine. The views are very special and it’s great to identify all of the key landmarks to pass the time. The icing on the cake to our visit was a tour of the kitchen and secret viewing gallery out the back - wonderful! Well done Galvin at Windows, keep up the good work!
S. V.
Chic restaurant on top of the Hilton hotel overlooking London. Quiet place, good for chatting to friends. Daily fixed price menu is good value, though on the day I went, pork belly was the only main course choice & it was mostly fat. Good service.
S. P.
We had the loveliest evening here. The food was so delicious and the service was phenomenal. A great team who will really look after you!
A. C.
Just great value. Brilliant bar & restaurant for fine drinks and fine dining. Brilliant sky-high views of London complimented by charming staff and a wonderful dining experience. It is not cheap, but I still think it is much better value than similarly priced establishments
S. J.
What a fabulous place!! Loved loved loved it!! Food was good, staff too and the view was fantastic!!😊
S. s.
Really nice customer service and drinks are strong. Excellent views of London but you're not able to access the balcony view until after 5pm. The only reason why I have not rated it 5 stars is due to being advised on the day that I booked i wouldn't be able to stay in the spot that was reserved for me due to a double booking of another event alongside mine but every staff member I interacted with was a delight to deal with as they were all friendly.
S. S.
Took my wife here as her birthday treat. We loved the very friendly and attentive service of all staff. Food was very good too and the view over London is something else. To make this a perfect experience, Fred Sirieix turned up and had a selfie taken with us. My 4 year old daughter was allowed to visit the kitchen to chat with the chef and to select her ice cream.
L. C.
We had the tasting menu paired with wine. It was sublime. The food was a great mix and the wine was well paired and not just your standard pairings either. Definitely worth a visit for someone who appreciates good food and the view isn't bad either.
m. B.
Fantastic food and service. I went here today for my birthday. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was perfectly cooked with very high quality ingredients. I had the 3 course set lunch which is 38. That is an incredible bargain. Also the restaurant itself and its views are really very good. The service was perfect and Cosmin was the perfect waiter - the best service I have ever had.
I would 110% recommend this restaurant.
A. N.
Stunning. The wine was great and the food and service impeccable. The dishes and service plus a great view of London are all worth the fee and we will be coming back again. Dress smart casual with no sportswear (no trainers).
The chocolate dessert was one of the best I've ever eaten.
L. P.
Staff are cordial and truly attentive. Menu is elaborate but not profuse.

Amazing evening. Was taken by my son on a voucher deal. From the moment I walked through the door on the ground floor, staff couldn't do enough for me. I was escorted to the lift that took me to the 28th floor. Staff there were welcoming, attentive and friendly. The meal was just beyond description, I can't remember when a meal looked as appetising or tasted as good. The views from the restaurant by night were outstanding. All in all an evening to remember and highly recommended. Thank you to all the staff that made this so special.
K. S.
Took my partner here for his 26th birthday, he had no idea where we were going even when we walked into the Hilton Park Lane. We were met by a very friendly and smiling Maitre d' who took us straight to our table. We chose the 10th Birthday Menu which was a 5 course tasting menu. The view from the restaurant was spectacular and we overlooked Buckingham Palace.
The food was incredible as was the Taittinger Rosé champagne. With each meal, the waiter explained what each dish was, I tried pork cheeks for the first time and it was my favourite dish.
The thing that really made the whole experience was when the waiter bought out a small cake with "Happy Birthday" written on the plate for my partner, he loved it and the cake was delicious.
Afterwards we had some petit four chocolates which were divine followed by a mason jar of the most amazing marshmallows I have ever eaten. Strawberry or Coconut were the choices and I'm such a coconut fiend.
We even got to have a quick chat with Fred Sirieix who is the Maitre D' from First Dates.
We left after having such a wonderful experience and my partner thoroughly enjoyed himself. The tasting menu was divine and such good value for money. We arrived around 7pm but things really started getting busy around 8, it was so nice seeing people arrive in their swarms all looking excited.
Definitely plan on visiting again. Thanks for an amazing time!
F. C.
Decent choice of drinks, though nothing local on the menu, except for gin and whiskey.views are good though the bar had half the blinds lowered to prevent excessive heating, which meant a reduced view. Could've (and should've) been compensated by the air-conditioning in a 5* hotel. Service was attentive and friendly, however seemed bored by the large number of staff compared to guests - bar decoration was a bit old school, which didn't really mix too well either drinks list (prohibition era uniforms, 50's/60's decor)?
M. C.
Dined here last night, a great welcome and the ambience and service was amazing! Food here is excellent and the Merlot we chose had good flavours. We will have to come back for lunch the views were superb! Thank you for such a lovely evening we were most impressed 😁😁😁
P. D.
Best dinner I’ve ever had . Came there tonight for my 25th Birthday. Service and staff are amazing . Food was so good too. We had salmon, kingfish and egg for starter. My cousin really enjoyed kingfish. We also had beef , baked hake and lobster as main courses . The dessert could be a little bit better but anw They all taste so good. The manager was beyond professional and nice . He even showed us the balcony outside the kitchen where you could see the view of London. It was freezing the weather but he took his busy time to hold the door for us just bcs 3 of us we wanted to take photos outside😄. Was my first time at Gavin at Windows but won’t be my last time . Can’t wait to go there next time 👍🏼
A. M.
Dined with friends as a late Christmas celebration. The service and surroundings were delightfully. Everyone enjoyed their meals, but there was a consensus that the dessert menu could do with a little attention. Portions were petite, so don't stint on lunch if dining here. A venue for an occasion rather than just a meal.

Nice restaurant with a city view. The design and decoration are simple. The ambiance is relaxing. Staff are professional. For the main course, I ordered Tagliatelle. It was tasty and creamy. As for sweets, I had a delicious apple tart.

We just enjoyed our second dinner at this beautiful restaurant. I can’t recommend enough. The food is divine and the service is on point. The best part is dessert - save room if you possibly can. The soufflé is out of this world.
J. W.
Fantastic food, pushy staff.
Incredible menu served with a view, get the tables next to the windows if possible. We were bombarded with numerous staff across the evening trying to up-sell dessert wines, side dishes or additional items. I have no problem with this if it's done in the right way, but if it constantly interrupts conversation - it's an issue!

Prepare to spend some money if you are planning to dine here. I was served a delicious John Dory for mains which was fine dining at its best. The service is great, restaurant decor is modern and exclusive top and the view from the window of Hyde Park is totally mesmerising.

The picture does not do the flavour combination and delicate punch of clear tomato essence the justice it deserves! Excellence in food and service

Had a wonderful evening on Saturday night. Very smooth service food was simply delicious. Had the degustation menu with wine pairing and it was paired wonderfully. The sommelier was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and the waiter was excellent too. Thank you to all staff
J. H.
fabulous
they gave us the best table for my daughter's 21st. lovely food, service impeccable and wines which weren't the most expensive served at really perfect temperature. we were surprised at the price thought it was going to be a lot more. We are really fussy diners so a wonderful treat.

What is there to say about this place that hasn't already been said? I'll try to be original so will simply add that the staff are immaculate, the service impeccable and beautifully coordinated so that all our party of 16 were served at the same time and the food is superb. Having eaten in top end restaurants all over London, this is, so far, the best
M. B.
We had a fantastic pre-theatre lunch here, the food is fabulous with a level of service and a setting to match. We had booked an early table and could both see and hear a pre-service gathering between Fred Sirieix and the waiting team which was interesting to witness and added to the whole experience!
The only reason this isn't a five star review is because unfortunately the bar area was not open during our visit (I believe due to refurbishment) - however a brilliant and memorable lunch.
N. G.
Perfect place to bring your special one to, spend a romantic occasion or a family dinner. The service is immaculate! So attentive, galant, yet not invasive - we were really taken care of. The sommelier is French and knows his job brilliantly. A real gentleman, too. The views are amazing - obviously, the restaurant is cozy and welcoming. Food was fantastic. We have only the warmest feelings from it, and will definitely consider coming back.
B. K.
Very good! …and tasty.

This was not a good restaurant or a great restaurant; this was a spectacular dining experience. First, cocktails overlooking London and Hyde Park from the 28th floor. Next we had the 8 course dinner, each course presentation came with a complete explanation and accompanying wine selection and of course, simply amazing food. The staff was sensational throughout and offered a tour of the kitchen afterwards where we saw a sign “Remember the guest is always King.” These people walk the walk, 6 stars!
M. G.
Nice restaurant with a lovely view. Very friendly, polite staff. Brilliant sommelier.
The food was nice, but not amazing considering the price. Along with the fact the plates were cold, leading to 4 stars.
A. R.
We went for lunch with friends as it was their first time in London and wanted to enjoy the view. The nicely paired that we tried were all tasty and the service top-notch.

Located on the 18th floor of the Hilton, the floor to ceiling windows offer great views. The bar area is a particularly impressive place to watch sunset. Timing your meal with drinks beforehand at the moment of sunset is recommended.
Food is exactly what you would expect: Difficult to find fault of. The tasting menu offers a wide range of dishes and is reasonably priced, too. The scallop was memorable for its proportions being twice the size of the largest queen scallop. It's shell could likely be reused as a chair by a mermaid.
There is an exceptional level of service above that of any other Michelin one star restaurant in the UK. Multiple members of waiting staff spring immediately into action when required within fractions of a second. Once no longer needed, staff dissolve quietly into the background. That said, it never feels oppressive or like you are being watched. There are not large groups of staff visible. It almost qualifies as a magic act.
J. C.
Michelin starred restaurant at Park Lane Hilton. We had the restaurant's '10th birthday' 5 course tasting menu. Salmon, cod, pork, polenta all cooked to perfection. The chocolate fondant and orange ice cream were simply amazing. The environment feels slightly corporate, a little bit bland even. It lacks a strong personality. However, the food and friendly service makes up for this slight defect. Good views even if you're not seated by a window as the middle section has a raised platform. Perhaps the only restaurant 'with a view' in London that is worth paying for. It certainly beats anything on offer at the Shard.
V. G.
It is a luxury restaurant with French cuisine placed at the top floor of a hotel. It has a beautiful view down the city. The food is excellent, and that's what you have to expect for that price. The staff do know their job, so you should feel comfort every minute. In short, it's probably one of the best restaurants in London to celebrate an unique event in your life.
S. S.
If you are looking for dining with London view, I am strongly recommend here Galvin at Windows. So, we went here for my birthday dinner and had absolutely impressive evening. We got our table next to the windows which could enjoy one of the most beautiful view(Green park, skyscrapers and river Thames.) that we saw while tasting incredible food. Our main server Riccardo was very kind and took care of my vegan diet and made my birthday special with special desserts and gift. Fantastic presentation, services from waiters and views... We didn’t know how the time went so fast!
S. V.
Excellent place! Good group of people working there(the supervisor Rico, manager Antonini!), very warm ambience. Delicious food!! Had the chance to thank the head chef in person, Joo Won! Great night, definitely going back there 😁
c. b.
The food was too rich for a taster menu. Too much carbs and protein and virtually no vegetables. Service polite and friendly but the style of service was too fussy and rushed. Not a relaxing experience and we expected more from the reputation. The view was stunning.
S. M.
Fabulous view from the 28th floor over Hyde Park and West London. Apart from this: excellent service and good cooking, if not top notch of Michelin 1-star category. But very reasonable prices - and thus really good value for money.
J. C.
Amazing. What a beautiful venue and what amazing food. I would highly recommend this to absolutely anybody and I feel that the quality of the food and value for money was fair. What a beautiful view and thank you for helping to make my father's 50th birthday special.

Celebrating our 22nd Wedding Anniversary. Food was outstanding, service was impeccable. However, I did think it was overpriced. The bar area where we had our pre dinner drinks could do with being updated.

Thanks to a discounted Groupon, went here for a romantic evening with my wife. It was great value for money and a perfect place for romantically magical moments for those who believe. Friendly staff, delicious bites, interesting cocktails and mock-tails and amazing views. Want to treat your special man/woman? This place should top your list.

Excellent food, exceptional service, delicious drinks from start to finish and an amazing panoramic view of London. I took my 18 year old for his first fine dining experience - his scallops, steak and tart tatin with rosemary ice cream were a total hit.

Me and couple of my friends were really excited to visit this restaurant especially reading so many positiv reviews and even watching a short youtube clip of it. We booked a table for the 10 year anniversary tasting menu.
The positiv:
- The view of the restaurant is really stunning.
- The service is prompt and friendly and certainly at a michelin star level ( altough one waiter told one of my friends that she can change a dish because she doesn't eat pork but she received a different dish he was initially telling her )
- £50 for a 5 course tasting menu is actually a very good value for a michelin star restaurant
- food presentation was very good
so why only 3 stars?
Well... Altough the food looked good it just tasted very ordinary... Nothing was outstanding unfortunately. I mean I do had high hopes every time a waiter brought a dish and said: this is our amazing ..... well but it wasn't. Now I am not a restaurant critic and for sure my tongue is probably not as fine as a restaurant critic but certainly I can tell if there is at least one dish or one flavour outstanding and out of all 5 courses nothing was impressive.
Well but the whole ambience and location and view and good value for money does balance it out.
The cocktail bar had some very interesting cocktails inspired by asian flavours and was pretty interesting again not outstanding but interesting and nice presentation.
3 stars from me this time.
Thanks!
P. F.
Perfect attentive service. Incredible sweeping views over the London skyline. £100 for the 7 course tasting menu or £80 for the 3 course menu but worth every penny. The dishes were not just delicious each one was special and memorable.
L. d.
A wonderful restaurant that stands up to its reputation. The food was fantastic, the staff warm, friendly and very knowledgable and the views.....stunning. Couldn’t recommend it more. Thank you for a lovely evening.

A wonderful experience. Tremendous presentation. Excellent staff who were very attentive without being overly intrusive. The food was beautiful and absolutely delicious. Everyone should indulge themselves at least once!

I had the most lovely experience today, at Galvin at windows restaurant and bar. Coming into London, with my 8 month old baby can be quite a mission sometimes! However, the warm welcome and hospitality made it all worth while! All the staff were highly considerate and kind. The food was fabulous and views were incredible. I would highly recommend and look forward to coming back!
Thank you, caroline
G. D.
I highly recommend this restau, hurry and grabs yours!

I had brunch here, to celebrate my birthday, on a trip to London. Top class service, genuine warm welcome and stunning views of London which all leave you with a good feeling, long after you have paid the bill.
N. D.
Have been twice over the past year. Amazing place with great food. The service the first time was impeccable. The second time was close. We couldn't get a table at the windows both times when first arriving but were moved straight away after ordering from the menu to our new spots next to the windows. Great views. Will be back again.

Wonderful food and very helpful waiting staff in a restaurant with a great view of London. It's just a pity that the adjoining bar was playing loud, thumping dance music. My 14 year old daughter also had the unfortunate experience of seeing some young women snorting what she presumed to be cocaine in the toilet which was disturbing for her and has put her off ever coming back here.
A. B.
The short rib burger was delicious and the wait staff was very pleasant. Rating 3 stars because of the bartenders condescending and rude attitude. Unfortunately, I will not be returning due to this one individual.
S. C.
My husband and I came to celebrate our anniversary with another couple . We used the groupon cocktail deal and it was fantastic! Great service & delectable food.
Will definitely visit again.

Beautiful view, excellent food.
Servers were not the nicest.. I imagine it's because I was with a young group; they're probably more polite to older customers.

I booked a stay at the Hilton and Dinner at Galvin at Windows for Valentine's Day for my wife and I.
The hotel was excellent, unfortunately, Galvin at Windows didn't live up to expectations. We were rushed at every opportunity, all very robotic, it felt like we were on a conveyor belt and the front of house staff just wanted us done and out of there. It was Valentine's night, supposed to be a special occasion, but it didn't feel like it.
It was all 'OK', for the price of the 3 course menu, the food should've been exceptional but it was a bit of a let down.
N. R.
Incredible vegan tasting menu. The service is top class. Wonderful place to visit.
S. O.
3rd time visiting in recent years, this time for a 50th birthday celebration. Exceptional food and service with a relaxed fine dining ambiance. Great views across London too. Will be back again for sure.
B. B.
I ate here a while ago, my first experience for a fine dining restaurant. Not only that but the first time I've eaten 28 or so floors up, thank god for the elevator! A very professional welcome was soon extended to the leading into the grand dining hall, large ceilings in cream and whites with a spacious restaurant catering for many tables encompassed within a wall of windows overlooking the whole of london. A treat for evening diners who like to look at the cities sights and its pretty lights.
D. B.
£33 pre theatre menu was great value for michelan star. Great and attentive service too.. Just need to make sure they explain every dish as this was missed a couple of times and we had to ask. Lost a star cos I paid £16 for an aperol spritz which was a bit OTT especially as we had wine as well...that's more than the bottle!
A. T.
The staff was extremely friendly, the view was incredible, it was also a kid friendly resturant. I loved the food, especially the main course. The restraunt feels like a mix of family and formal. However, the kid's pasta was rather dissappointing, showing a simple and cheap pasta. The rest was superb.
J. B.
Amazing dinner. Views lovely and staff are so attentive and friendly! Such a pleasure to eat there. Food was out of this world also

Serving french cuisine on the 28th floor of the Hilton on Park Lane, the michelin starred restaurant boasts quite the view over Mayfair, not short of iconic sights such as The Shard and Hyde Park. What more, to ensure a dining experience to be remembered, our table of 8 were given 3 postcards of the panorama view which they would even help you mail off to anywhere in the world. The staff were most attentive and paid immaculate attention to detail. The room is contemporary and elegant but nothing outstanding. The portions were just nice and the food was spectacular in the sense that it tasted like the finest quality but view aside, I found it a bit forgettable.
A. A.
Nice view, good stuff
They don't have more than one dessert option 🙈
A. y.
Lovely restaurant located on the 28th floor within Hilton London hotel. Seems to be a restaurant where people bring their business partners for lunch, there were a few tables of men in suits, ties and brief cases
Staffs: Professionally dressed and very friendly, attentive and service was fast. Offered me a postcard (With a picture of the view from your seat), they will send it anywhere it the world if you fill it in, complimentary :) I thought it was a really nice gesture!
The view was ok. If you are seated next the to window (depending where) you'd probably get to have an overview of the city. But there's also a seating section where the view faces a large field.
I enjoyed the food mains the most. The pork cheeks were soft and juicy, nicely paired with polenta. The portions were ok, not too big but definitely not a tasting menu's size either. I thought the orange cake could have done slightly better.
Seems like an OK place to take my parents here for tea or lunch. They would probably appreciate the classic interior and the peaceful scenery.
G. K.
Romantic is an understatement when talking about Galvin. Situated on the top floor of the Hilton on Park Lane Some of the best views in London, great cocktails and their own signature specially made marshmallows mean that this is a delicious treat. Great food and really friendly service.
S. H.
With views as breathtaking as those from our table it would be easy to forget about the food, but every dish we tried was a subtle triumph.
The staff are attentive and refreshingly friendly, and even arranged a spectacular pollution-enhanced sunset over London.
The only downside is the dreadfully bland music in the bar, presumably designed to lure the usual crowd of abrasive Russian businessmen and their "lady friends".
Overall: fantastic!

We have had a lovely evening there for celebration of anniversary. Servers were friendly and helpful as they explained menu items and introduced pairing fine wine during the meal. Giant olives which we had never seen tasted so good though you have to order it as extra. Moving on to the menu dégustation, amuse bouche with octopus was surprisingly good, even better than one of the main courses. The first course was smoked salmon with a nice pronounced gingery kick served with nori mayonnaise, which was quite original. What's special about the pork dish that followed was what it was served with - pickled mushrooms and kimchi. Shellfish ravioli in shellfish sauce was our favorite. The leftover creamy foamy sauce made a perfect dipping sauce for the baguette on the side. The last savory dish was lamb, our least favorite meat on the menu. I was hoping they would make it in a way even non lamb lovers would enjoy it well enough. It wasn't bad at all but skipping the goat cheese on my request they should have it replaced with something else instead of just giving me one more piece of glazed breast as “compensation”. Blood orange sorbet and basil sorbet were delicious but I would have preferred two very different courses to both sweet courses being sorbets. It was not the best of its kind we have had but overall it was a pleasant dining experience that featured innovative combination of flavors. Most exceptional was the fine wine pairing, though I can't be sure if it would have been almost as good if we opted for the standard pairing.
T. W.
The views are stunning, but only if you get a table by the window. We didn't. Service and ambience not up to the much better Galvin restaurant La Chapelle. Food and wine are of course excellent, which is only to be expected.
L. B.
Great meal and great service five stars
K. M.
Amazing view, even when weather is bad. Food was ok, but slightly pricy, would recommend to go with set menu :) Amazing place for romantic date!
Service was excellent, we were running late and they kept kitchen open for the last order :)
A. F.
Food, view, service it is all there, one of the best restaurants in London. Cocktails were delish, food scrumptious, and the view was outstanding. Will go back again soon for a special occasion.

Lasting Impressions: Classy, elegant, food-tastic, expensive
Our experience: Three of us went for dinner and drinks in the bar beforehand. The cocktails were £23 each and if you are wearing a coat, you are forced to check it in the cloakroom. However, once we got through to the restaurant, it was lovely. The service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The food was delicious. The view was lovely. I had the terrine, sea bream and crème brulee, followed by mint tea and had no cause for complaint throughout. The sea bream was cooked to perfection - it was succulent and tasty but the crème brulee was absolutely perfect - full of vanilla, creamy and off set by tart rhubarb! The mint tea was just right and the freshly made marshmallows literally melted in the mouth.
The verdict: It's expensive but worth it. We would definitely go back.
S. C.
Galvin at Windows is an experience just for the views over Hyde Park. For a michelin starred restaurant it was not too expensive (in comparison to other places) and the food was lovely. The staff were very attentive and helpful in recommending choices. My only complaint was the atmosphere was a little clinical and needed something to liven it up. Otherwise, a great place.
O. V.
Lovely. I dined yesterday with hubby . There is nothing I can say than to tell you to go and dine there . Service is excellent. Food exquisite. View amazing . Will be back .If you are reading this and you are still in doubts please Do not hesitate , you should go there 😉
G. L.
It is not perfect but still deserves 5 stars. Our waitress made errors with our orders and food was ok but the head waiter gave us the most incredible treatment with some exclusive facilities. One will not leave disappointed.
T. T.
The food is lovely, the staff are wonderful, and the views over London are amazing. Coming here is always a treat.
m. b.
Great food and service but. Not including vat on menu pricing and a hefty 15% service charge on final bill does come as a suprise. Also Sancerre is priced at £35 on menu but £69 on your bill. Great food but couldnt help feeling robbed. Spoilt an otherwise lovely evening.
K. C.
Galvin at Windows is always a favourite of mine. My partner and I manage to go about 3 times a year for special occasions or just to treat ourselves.
Service and food is always impeccable, and the staff always remember us and greet us with a very warm welcome.
We very much look forward to our next visit.
I'll might hint at my fiancée to take me for my birthday in April.

Had the summer burger meal, was seated in the bar area but the table was so small was no space for our food. Also my friend ordered no salad on his burger but it came with salad..so service bit hit and miss. Food was okay nothing special

Wonderful dinner here, the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and presentation was exquisite. The views over London are fabulous.

We visited the restaurant on Thursday 20th March to celebrate my mother and father -in laws 49th wedding anniversary. We had a little hiccup when we first arrived, our fault not the restaurants, and the manager Mr Andrew Sicklin could not have been more helpful. All the staff from waitresses, bar staff, reception and the lovely doorman were friendly and even posed for a photo with my mother-in law.
Now to the food, it was out of this world, absolutely delicious, the chef Joo Won is a wonder. We even got given postcards to fill out and they would send them anywhere in the world for us, a lovely touch.
If you ever get the chance to visit this beautiful restaurant, I fully recommend the whole experience.
M. L.
Located on the Hilton London Park, Galvin offers unbeatable views of the London city and French food that would put France to shame! I had a peanut butter parfait and could not resist having a second serving. The service is mention worthy. John was the waiter serving us, and we had a great experience at Galvin
a. w.
What a venue, the views are breathtaking. When in Galvins you feel like you are on a movie set. The food is as you can guess exceptional. The service another level. Well done all.
A. S.
Unsurprisingly, everything about Galvin at Windows is elegant. The food on the three course menu (actually, pretty good value) was very lovely, but doesn't have the creative edge you'd expect in a restaurant as special as this. The starter of scallops ceviche with grapefruit was delicious, and generous with the scallops, as was the main course of venison loin wrapped in pancetta. The peanut butter parfait was pretty great too. Weirdly, the highlight of the meal for me was the side of kale with garlic cream - simple, but so addictive. Maybe I'm easily impressed, but I really liked the extra touches like the huge jar of handmade lime marshmallows that accompanied our bill. The dimly lit restaurant doesn't distract from the view, and I imagine with the right company, this could be one of London's more romantic restaurants.
H. L. R.
Stunning views of London which definitely makes the experience unique. Drinks are quite expensive but some rather original. Definitely a good place to go for a few drinks in the evening looking at a sunset through the windows.

A return visit to The Dorchester and as expected the experience has remained the same: absolutely delightful. Serious wow factor when entering the lobby, can those gigantic flower arrangements be real? Oh....they are! The Grill, was intimate, expertly lit so that whilst being in a relatively low lighting, you could see the menu and what was on your plate. The...
S.
Expected more from a Michelin starred restaurant. The food was decent, service was good, ambience of the restaurant itself was nice. However it fell short of what I was expecting. There is a 3 course fixed menu option available which I didn't go for but looked like very good value for money.
t.
I've had superb dining experiences at the Bistro De Luxe and was hopeful for a similar experience at this venue.
Perhaps the fact that, on this occasion, I used a discount voucher explains why it was so disappointing. However, I imagined that the reason a place like this offers a discount is that they want to introduce people to their food in a bargain way, hoping they'll be impressed enough to sample the whole a la carte menu. Why give out discounts if it's for a second-rate dining experience, not comparable to the full-cost one?
In any case, the discounted menu was quite short and unimaginative. Three starters, three mains and three puddings. The starters included a salad, mackerel in teriyaki and steak tartare; the mains included cod, a vegetable tart and a chicken breast (served with a teriyaki sauce!). Ho-hum all around.
Handsome waiters with spotless manicures and fully professional demeanour.
A. A.
Starters and main courses were very tasty, the Velouté of wild mushrooms and the fishery (tuna, salmon, fillet of halibut) particularly. The Tagliatelle of ceps were mind blowing. However, I was disappointed with the dessert that I had great expectations: Banana soufflé & peanut butter ice cream. I did not enjoy any part of this dessert.
All in all, great views but a bit pricey for the quality served. (7/10)
M. S.
Great drinks and amazing service

Lovely place and amazing staff. We had a 5 course meal deal. Our little family enjoyed the fine food.

With one gluten free, one vietnamese, one diabetic and one very fussy person they were able to accommodate us all. Very good food, very good service and a stunning view. Would definitely recommend
I. G.
It was my first experience of visiting a restaurant of such a class: the top floor of a luxury hotel, breathtaking view of evening London, exceptionally delicious food and very friendly, welcoming and attentive but not intrusive staff. It is one of the places one must visit to conclude one's visit to London or to celebrate a once-in-a-lifetime event.
K. P.
We went there yesterday for lunch and it was fantastic! Everybody who worked there was delightful, beautiful views and the food was delicious. (The cod was exceptional! Highly recommend that and also the orange ice cream!)

Lovely meal, beautiful view and fantastic service. Very good meal for 1 vegetarian and 1 carnivore. Both of us left delighted.

Far beyond expectations... very impressed with our Three Course's.
Devine perfection: ...well should be Galvins. So pleased with our night out surrounded by great views and their staff professionalism linked to amazing flavours from talented chefs and for Joo Won, succulent menu.
W. R.
View is amazing on a summer afternoon and you get to see half of central London from the windows seat. Staffs were super friendly and they provide out-of-oven hot bread which tasted super good.
B. B.
Suberb food, and the Groupon deal meant that it was good value : in quality terms, you won't be over stuffed, if that is what you want! However, be aware that veg is extra, and there are plenty of other "additions" that will pump up your bill. For example, Port with cheese, loads of them on their own trolley, and a knowledgeable sommilier that will help you. I didn't ask, but I don't think you can deviate from the menu, so vegetarian /vegans watch out, but phone beforehand, I wouldn't be surprised if something can be done. The service is super attentive, even noticing that my wife was left handed and laying the courses to account for this. Oh and the veiw...just come and see yourself.
P. P.
Superb restaurant in a wonderful location.
Great menu choice at very affordable prices. The staff are extremely friendly and make you feel special.
Highly recommended.

Show-stopping views across the city as night falls from the 28th floor of a Park Lane hotel - Galvin at Windows is swanky with a capital "S". The decor's discreet and luxurious, with padded cream chairs, huge studio lights and a clever seating system so you can't hear what the next table were having. We went for the £65 set three-course dinner menu, which seemed an affordable (ish) way of experiencing such a place; starting with a tasty amuse-bouche of potato and pea puree (no, really, it was!). I then had an heirloom tomato and cheese salad- beautifully presented but a tiny portion compared to my boyfriend's slab of foie gras terrine. For mains, I had one of the best fillet of beefs of my life, complete with truffle mash, and he went for roast chicken with haricot beans and more truffles. And the pudding! OMG. Peanut butter parfait is a must-have if you come here; the smooth inside, crunchy exterior and popcorn ice cream are simply amazing. His deconstructed trifle was pretty cool, too. The only downside was the "fine dining" style service, of which I'm never a big fan. Our wine glasses were topped up every 2 minutes, waiters whizzed past at such speed that it made my earrings jangle, and generally, I'd rather we'd been left alone a little. Still, all in all, it was excellent - recommended for a special occasion, especially.
Z. S.
Amazing food, staff and view. Worth the price tag. The marshmallow that comes at the end is simply the best ever, melts in the mouth.
S. E.
Very good experience, nice view and awesome food!
I did prefer Galvin la chapelle in Liverpool Street, but here the service was exceptionally good.
I would recommend it.
H. P.
Food was "ok" and service was uneven; staff keeps rotating and some of them were forgetful while others were helpful. If it were not for the views and the free postcards they ship anywhere in the world, it would be an even worse rating! i.e. way too expensive for what it is.
N. C.
Lovely food in 5 course cordon bleu with Groupon deal that was great value, really good service and most importantly fantastic views of London (partly depending on where/when you book I guess) ...but pricy bar & drinks for the privilege

Amazing service. Great food. Great views.. But only though a window. ..ask for the better view. And you will be taken thru kitchen to get to outside.
Amazing service

Great view to London from 28th floor at Hilton Park Lane. In addition to that, very romantic place and delicious French food. They gave me a post card in order to write any thing and they will send it for free of charge to my friend anywhere around the world.

This was our last dinner during our honeymoon. Thoroughly enjoyable other than an episode where a member of staff suggested we were not used to pay a high bill such as theirs when the credit card payment failed. So unprofessional. It then resulted Galvin on Windows were passing a transaction in offline mode, typically because of a dropped connection. VISA international were not able to pass the transaction code to Galvin, so the transaction was cancelled twice.
Still, an experience one has to witness. Recommended. P.S. Get the cheese board!

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Drink are really reliable price. Will return in the next few weeks .

What an elegant and sophisticated place! We walked in and were greeted by all the staff, who continued to attend to us until the moment we left. There was clearly a lot of thought that had gone into optimising on a customers experience, which myself and my date really appreciated. We sat down and were given postcards of the view from the restaurant, which we were told could be written and sent to anywhere in the world. My date was quick to take advantage of this, sending the postcard to New York!
The food itself was also beautifully presented and a real gastronomic delight. Special mention in particular to my main - a lamb reforme with a pomme mousseline (basically the smoothest and richest mash you will ever have), with a slice of truffle and a rich sauce poured over at your table. Ermagaad. Also to my dessert! A light and crisp rose meringue, on top of which a light coating of vanilla studded cream, capped with a mushroom-head of violet meringue. So fragrant and floral, it was like eating a bouquet. A pleasant surprise of truffles and raspberry jellies (you would have thought to end the meal), and a candy-jar of green apple and passionfruit marshmallows! A decadent night from which we left, glowing.

Very special occasion. Food was excellent. Ambiance perfect and service exceptional. Enjoyed every minute there didn't want it to end.

Great experience with amazing view. Cocktails are perfect but pricey. Food was very good too, but perfectly fine to visit just for drinks + view.
G. C.
Always an amazing experience, and the service is second to none. Some of the tables don't really benefit from the "windows" part, but as we were using a discount deal I wasn't too fussed. If you're paying full price, then make sure you're next to the window.

The food is lovely. The service is fantastic; all the staff are so friendly. Lovely relaxing decor and, obviously, great views. Go.

Michelin Starred Galvin @ Windows sits on the 28th floor on the Hilton Hotel on Park Lane. The restaurant has amzing views over London and if you are eating at sunset makes it quite special. The food is amazing, when I visited I had the degustation menu of five courses, loved the little touches such as the marshmallows with the bill. Highly recommend

Stunning views of London from the 28th floor of the Hilton, with an excellent menu to match, Galvin at Windows is the place to go if you want a bit of the wow experience without being too over the top. Head chef Joo Won's kitchen turns out consistently good food, and the steamed cod is a must-try.
With a number of offers available on Open Table, a meal there isn't too expensive either. Opted for the £29 for three courses and two glasses of wine, which was great value for money.

Great food and a good selection of wine... A bit steep so do a bugdet check before going.... We went way over very quickly 😬
k. O.
For a place that has a Michelin star, the food and service does not reflect this. The salmon was overdone and the wine list prosaic and significantly overpriced. Service was not up to standard.
P. G.
Stunning food and stunning views

Restaurants with views can famously be a bit dodgy. This is an exception. French haute cuisine with a subtle Asian influence. Superb. Try the tasting menu. Great for a special occasion.
J. S.
Awesome.....food absolutely delicious, staff warm, welcoming and all with a gsoh. Decor and view Wow ....our 2nd visit and can't wait for our 3rd 😃
G. J.
Good view. Busy. Expensive. Ongoing rumour it's full of Russian lady's of the night. I was with my wife so didn't get to talk with any Russians about their culture, country etc etc.

A very impressive and tasty cocktails and picnic brunch.However, it was spoilt for me by the waiters who everytime they came to the table appeared to address their information just to my friend.Staff should be attentive to everyone at the table,I felt ignored and invisible......apart from that it's bad manners!
L. B.
My boyfriend took me here for my 30th birthday and it will be a meal I never forget. Everything was perfect. And there is a wicked tiki bar in the building too!
P. J.
Fantastic views from the bar. My cocktail from the house menu was excellent. My girlfriend’s amaretto sour was too diluted.
V. W.
Great place for lunch. Superb view and well informed courteous service. The food delicious and very fairly priced for such a place.
M. H.
Very nice ambiance and view. The service was great ! Sadly the food was served on cold plates and only luke warm. There I had higher expectations of Galvin at Windows.
S. B.
Gorgeous food and amazing service!
C. A.
Well they didn't have the vintage wine we wanted and the only Pokemon I found was a Rattata (what does that tell you about the place?) but the waiters seem to really want to be dads because they were ALL OVER my tiny babby niece. Food was nom.
C. L.
Really enjoyable experience. Groupon voucher for 5 course lunch or dinner. Very attentive staff. Food was amazing and different.
E. G.
Good food and impeccable service combined with stunning roof top view 28 floors high. Quite difficult to get a reservation, but it worth it.
P. I.
Amazing drinks, amazing view and amazing service. Couldn't ask for more! Golden hour cocktail is a total highlight.

Exceptional customer service. Great food. Wonderful atmosphere. All in all a memorable experience. The food doesn't leave a lasting memory though.

Excellent service, beautiful (delicious and sophisticated) food, and amazing views, deserving of the Michelin Star... But probably could have done without the most expensive the G+T I've ever had!
c. p.
Love this place have never had a bad meal here and they can even make me like things I didn't think I was going to e.g liquorice panna cotta. And of course I don't need to mention the stunning views, the photos speak for themselves!

Service was amazing..you have a rising star with Raffi, top class waiter.. food was good. Mains lacked a bit of flavour..
C. D. B.
Amazing modern French cuisine with a spectacular view of Westminster and Chelsea.
The perfect romantic restaurant in London.
M. A.
Good food but expected more from a Michelin star. There's a feeling you're paying more for the view than the food.
D. C.
Hard to find any fault with this excellent establishment
M. B.
Came with a Groupon voucher for a 5 course meal and was treated like royalty. Would highly recommend, best restaurant experience I've had.

Great restaurant, very friendly staff. Food is fantastic with wonderful view across London.
L. J.
Very friendly and effective staff and food was cooked to perfection, however we had a promotional voucher but with the service charge and the extras (some I did not realise there was a charge) it was the same price as if we had no promotional voucher, but this does not detract from the quality of the meal or the service.
L. C.
What a fantastic restaurant. Can't fault this place in any way. Every thing was spot on, views, staff, service and Food and drink.
R. B.
