    The host was friendly and welcoming. We were uni friends meeting after a while and were given time and space to catch up over good food and drink. Complementary chocolates at the end were a lovely touch.

    We went there for a family dinner last Saturday. The staff were very helpful and attentive. The food was excellent although some dishes were on the pricey side (considering the portion). The restaurant was spacious with the typical Wolseley ambience. We will be back!

    Beautiful experience and venue. I had the scallops which were divine. Escargot was decent. The white onion soup was tasty but the blue cheese bread included made the difference. The service was amazing! My pisco sour was top notch.

    Sat down at 12.45. Finally called someone over so we could order at drink at 1.20pm. Experience this multiple times when dining here. So frustrating. Food is good but the service is always TERRIBLE

    This was our first time dining at this branch of the Wolsey. It was every bit as good as the main restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Good portion size, attentive staff and excellent wine.
