Everyone was very kind to me, and although I was nervous about traveling alone, I had a very comfortable stay. I'm sorry that I couldn't express my gratitude to everyone in person because I don't speak English well. I'd like to come back someday with my family and friends. Thank you very much.

The food (cod loin) was actually very good but it was delivered tepid so by the time I was reaching the end it was cold. And the second lot of vegetables arrived when we had all finished - also lukewarm. The same can be said for the mocha I ordered too. Noise level ok even for my husband who wears hearing aids which amplify all noise. Lovely setting. Just the one gripe about the temperature of the food. Please serve it hot next time.

After viewing the valuable Wallace Gallery, the afternoon tea enjoyed in the middle garden of the building was also beautiful and meaningful.

While the champagne, service, and ambiance were all rather lovely, the food and dinner were, unfortunately, sorely disappointment. Butter was subbed for clotted cream, the scones were, I’m sorry, awful, and the tea was watery and generally not worth it.

What a fantastic afternoon tea we could have with our children and their grandmother. Everyone was so kind, intuitive, and considerate of our needs, as I use a mobility scooter. The food was yummy, the tea, divine, and the overall ambience some experience will make us return every year. Thank you, dear WALLACE Team for your help with everything. 🙏❤️

Wonderful place to lunch with guests who come from abroad to visit London. After a lovely lunch, where we were not rushed at all, we visited the amazing collection of paintings and French decorative arts. A great place to meet up with local friends as well. A jewel in the capital!

Why is that blonde female staff so grumpy? Rough attitude? Is it because we are Asians? One other staff made our service charge free, but I didn't say it for money.

A really nice place to meet up with friends in a very relaxed atmosphere. The menu had a good selection of food and drinks. The service by polite, friendly staff was good. They did not rush us so it was great to relax and enjoy our time. Price wise it’s quite expensive so would only go back occasionally.
