Quaglino's

A Stylish Evening at Quaglino's with Room for Improvement We visited Quaglino’s yesterday to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and it was certainly a memorable experience. The restaurant exudes a glamorous, speakeasy vibe with its stunning decor and amazing live music that adds an exciting touch to the atmosphere. The menu offers a fantastic selection of dishes, and the drinks menu is equally impressive, with plenty of variety to suit all tastes. We ordered steak and oysters, and the quality was exceptional – everything was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. It’s clear that the culinary team takes great care with their ingredients and preparation. That said, there were a few areas where the experience could have been better. The service, while polite, was quite slow – we waited an hour and a half for our food to arrive. Additionally, it seemed we always had to search for our waiter for refills or any additional requests. Unfortunately, this meant we only had one drink during our three-hour visit, which felt like a missed opportunity to enjoy more of their great cocktails. While the live music was truly fantastic and created a lively ambiance, it was so loud that having a conversation was nearly impossible. It’s a shame because the atmosphere is wonderful, but the volume made it challenging to connect with our group. Turning it down just a notch would make a world of difference. As expected for a restaurant of this calibre, the prices are on the higher side, so it’s worth being prepared for a more indulgent outing. All in all, Quaglino’s offers a beautiful venue, great food, and vibrant music, but a few tweaks to service speed and noise levels could elevate the experience to match its stunning setting. If you’re looking for a special night out, it’s worth visiting – just be ready for a longer dining experience and a lively (if loud) atmosphere!

Worth every penny! An amazing evening of first class entertainment and high quality food. Service was on point, although they were strict on the 2 hour time allocation per table however they did accommodate us at the bar side for drinks and entertainment after our dining slot. Would highly recommend the fillet steak with the green peppercorn sauce and the oysters were fresh and delicious. We had a bottle of champagne and a cocktail at the bar! The bar tender was incredibly enthusiastic and would make any cocktail you desired. Celebrations or special occasions I would highly recommend!

Restaurant Review: Quaglino’s Christmas Meal We had the pleasure of dining at Quaglino’s for our Christmas meal, and overall, it was an enjoyable experience with a few notable highlights and one slight letdown. First and foremost, the venue itself is absolutely stunning. The festive decorations were superb, adding a touch of glamour and holiday magic to the evening. The atmosphere was further enhanced by the lively entertainment—a brilliant mix of music and performances that really set the tone for a festive celebration. The food, on the whole, was very good. The vegetables were perfectly cooked—crisp, fresh, and full of flavour—and the gravy was the real star of the show, rich and deeply satisfying. However, the rib-eye steak left us a little disappointed. While it was cooked well, the portion—a single, rather thin slice—felt underwhelming, especially given the otherwise generous and high-quality offerings. Service was warm and friendly but noticeably slow at times, which detracted slightly from the experience. Nevertheless, the staff were attentive when present and accommodating of our needs. Quaglino’s is undeniably a beautiful venue with excellent entertainment, and while there was room for improvement in terms of service and portion size for the steak, the delicious food and festive atmosphere more than made up for it. It was a memorable Christmas meal overall, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return for another special occasion.
