    Unlike many other comments, RW becomes one of my best memories in London. Food was superb. Service fine.

    We came for brunch on a Saturday. Everything about the experience was excellent - perfect presentation, fresh ingredients, excellent friendly service and a historic location set in the centre of Rex Whistler's magnum opus. We especially like the fact the restaurant takes stand on paying staff a living wage and not requesting tips as a result. The fact the profits support public art is also rewarding.

    You can bring your bottle of wine but they will charge you corkage

    The food was very refined and the dishes were well designed and crafted, especially the mint flavoured mousse. The atmosphere was very pleasing, but also quite posh. Prices are somewhat on the high side.

    inefficient, I only order a main course and has been sitting here over 25 mins and still have no sign of the food. Totally ruined the mood of eating.
