The National Dining Rooms

Pretty much what everyone else saidA big letdownAmbiance is a bit dated and didnt look very fresh or inviting.

After a wonderful visit to The National Gallery, I was walking by and the thought of a good meal over came me._I glanced at the menu and said yes, this

Gives a bad name to “modern british food”. We ate at the deli. Poor selection and slooooow service. In a location with so many other options you can do much better and get a lot better value Speisekarte ansehen

I ordered the elderberry ginger tea along with a mini cake filled with celery jam, and it was delicious. The prices were reasonable for an afternoon tea. It would enhance the experience if they had restrooms in the dining area and added some artwork to the space.

This restaurant offers magnificent views of Trafalgar Square. The decor is beautiful and it is a great location for the center of London. Unfortunately, when we went on a Friday night, it was almost completely empty and had no atmosphere. The food was good and the staff was helpful, but the lack of ambience left it off.

This restaurant is conveniently situated within the National Gallery. The elevated deck creates a spacious and airy atmosphere, which is a lovely respite after a busy day exploring the gallery. However, the service can be quite slow, so if you're pressed for time, I wouldn't recommend dining here. Otherwise, take your time to relax and enjoy the experience. Some tables offer a pleasant view of the nearby Trafalgar Square.

We went for afternoon tea there on 31st Jan for my sisters birthday and it was a disappointing experience overall. There weren 't enough staff serving (this wasn 't our waitresses fault) so service was very slow. We ordered three afternoon tea sets with no ham sandwiches and a few other things. When it finally arrived the ham sandwiches were still on the plate, with the slightly apologetic waitress explaining 'they forgot to take it off, just don 't eat it '. Unfortunately, the sandwiches had been left out so the bread was hard and my sister (the only one who ate the egg sandwich) later came down with mild food poisoning. Won 't be visiting again.

We visited on Saturday 10/09/2016 whilst looking round the National Gallery. The restaurant was busy but by no means full so, as we were shown to our table, we told the waitress that we wanted drinks only and she confirmed that was not a problem. The waiter eventually came over to take our order which was nice and simple, 1 tea and 1 coffee. We waited for 45 minutes and nothing turned up other than a small jug of milk but people that came in after us were all being served so we left in disgust. If they don't want customers who are not spending a fortune then they shouldn't tell us it was fine to order drinks only. Its a shame because the setting was very nice and relaxing.
