Portrait Restaurant

It was a very pleasant experience, which we had planned for a long time. The food was lovely and fresh tasting (not too heavy).
The service was friendly and efficient , with a nice touch of light humour. The view was spectacular, which is what attracted us to the restaurant in the first place. We also looked at the paintings beforehand and afterwards !

The location is fantastic, the staff friendly, efficient and helpful, but the food was a bit disappointing. My main course was plaice with a green pea puree, and really it was all a rather soggy, tasteless mush. My pudding was good, however, as was the bread.

Pleasant venue, good food, attentive service.

Overall good. The service was great and attentive. The pre theatre menu was very limited and the food was ok so we wouldn’t have that again if we came back. Good value overall

excellent from start to finish. made ready a more superior table with minimal wait for us.
provided excellent and attentive service throughout .
wonderful views and food.

Delicious cured salmon with fennel and beautifully cooked plaice. Excellent service.

Great location, good service and lovely food.

Delicious food

We dined with friends and everyone had the set lunch menu but chose different dishes. Everything was very good but it should be for the price. Particularly enjoyed my salmon with lentils and the chocolate pot with salted caramel was first class. The situation of the restaurant on top of the Portrait Gallery is of course very special.

We were party of 4 and had a Pre-Theater menue. I believe that serving a smallest rollmop I ever seen cut in half on a big plate and calling it herring is not good. The liver mains was very tasty but stringy. The atmosphere and service is great, I will likely come again for the great ambiance and views, but the food was a disappointment and not a good value for money.
