Galvin at Windows provided everything for a perfect evening - excellent ambiance, breathtaking views and surroundings, attentive service, great food and courteous and knowledgeable staff. One waiter knew everything there was to know about 20 varieties of cheese, while another knew everything about the various champagnes. Highly recommended for special occasions.

Excellent views and service. Food is very good but restricted in quantity. Even with Toptable 50% discounts, the place is over priced.

Galvin at Windows was a wonderful dining experience. Excellent welcome and attention and help in getting a window table. Really made us feel special. The discount on the food was about £40 and worth having. For a special wow factor I would recommend it!

The main draw for Galvin at Windows is surely the incredible views across London. But the food was great too: my soft duck egg with chorizo followed by falling-apart tender pheasant & then chocolant fondant good enough to make you fall off your chair were all divine, although my friend's dishes were a bit more hit & miss. The service was OK, but not as smooth as many other places (eg they forgot my friend's drink). Overall, it's impressive & worth a visit, but only with the £35 or 50% off offer.

I went to Galvin at windows for Easter sunday, upon arrival we sat a while at the bar for drinks, the view is great. We all took the set menu for £50 the food was nothing amazing but good, there was only one issue with my fillet as I ordered it medium well and got it well done, in addition the staff (supervisor) who took my plate back seemed upset with me for it, very odd. Generally, everyone was pleased with their food however desserts were uninspiring as the wine service. Not sure I'd go back

We had the pre-theatre menu at Galvin at Windows. The set menu had limited choice but everything that we ordered was excellent! Excellent value and a great time to visit Windows as we saw the sunset!

Galvin at Windows on a Easter Saturday at 5.30pm was v. quiet: about 5 waiters serviced our every move - not v. relaxing! My friend dared to attempt to pour his own water, only to have the bottle taken from his grasp mid-pour...Great views though! The pre-theatre menu was limited to 2 choices/course, but food was v good and we left full-my friend thought it better than at the Dorchester. I loved the duck. 3 courses, 2 bottles of water, coffees, petit four plus service for 2 was just under £60

Windows at Galvin - a lovely, well-polished restaurant. On the toptable deal, excellent value for money with a good but limited choice of starters and mains. Petit-fours at the end were a nice touch but wine list was very biased to the dear end of the market (only four wines under £20 and only about twenty under £30) and not greatly interesting. Staff were very attentive and the views are wonderful. Would recommend for special events as you are well looked after.

Galvin at Windows gave me one of my finest dining experiences in life. The food was beauitfully done with surprises. I especially enjoyed the vanilla puree and vanilla pannacotta. The coffee (that came with chocolate) was well worth although it wasn't included in the special lunch offer.
