Portrait Restaurant

I took an another American to Tea there for the ambiance, view, and tea. The tea itself was delicious. The sandwiches were a bit dry—it's hard to keep them fresh, I know. There were too many little cakes. I would have preferred to choose a few fresh ones rather than too many slightly stale ones... Our server was neither particularly attentive, nor careful—dismissive might be a better word. There was a very talkative and obviously Important and Wealthy 4-some there and there was considerable hovering around them. We had to ask for water 3 times, and it was given somewhat begrudgingly. I still love going there, but I was disappointed at our treatment and the quality of what we were served for the price. It seemed we'd run into a little "snobbishness" at the hands of the not British server showing off against the Americans, or maybe he was just weary at the end of his day.

Really enjoyed my lunch, beautiful veggie food. Lovely staff

Service and food were great

Super English Rose wine
Great healthy menu
Very experienced professional helpful staff

Already responded to survey request by NPG. Our afternoon tea was fantastic value and would even ave been so if we hadn't had the special offer through Bookatable. It was a fabulous place, with fabulous food and drink, and very welcoming friendly staff providing s with a great table. Will definitely return for another yummy afternoon tea. The little fresh seared tuna /quail egg mini starter was a star turn and very welcomed. Beautiful views across the rooftops of London.

Excellent all round

Portrait Restaurant is my favourite dining experience when in London. After a quick whip through the collection galleries to see what’s new, I go up to the top floor for a view of the London skyline, kick off with a berry Bellini and relax into a three course meal, served by the friendliest and mist engaging staff - just love it, as the sun goes down and the evening settles in!

Everything was perfect. Delicious food, friendly waitress, relaxed atmosphere and impressive views.
