    Had the three course lunch. All ingredients were fresh and tasty, a special mention for the sea bass. Great surroundings in the museum atrium. Staff friendly, attentive and each course was well timed after the previous plate.

    The restaurant was understaffed and busy. We had arranged to meet friends for a celebratory meal and had booked a table. There was a queue at reception followed by a long wait to order and the meal just dragged out. When we spoke to a member of staff we were told 3 staff were ill and we were given complimentary coffees in recognition of our complaint. The food was good but we were disappointed overall with our experience.

    We booked at the Wallace Restaurant because we were going to an exhibition there but the food was a complete delight and far surpassed our expectations. Service was very pleasant if a bit slow - but we weren't in a hurry. Totally recommended

    The food was delicious and plenty of it. I was particularly impressed by the staff who were friendly and helpful, without being obsequious. We were also not rushed to free the table when we had finished the meal. I would recommend the restaurant to people and look forward to coming back again.

    Food was very tasty but when it arrived the potatoes especially were cold - actually cold, served on cold plates! Server happily took it back but when it came back it was only slightly warm - I left the potatoes as too cold to enjoy. Dessert was delightful, as were the staff. Overall I would recommend and we will go again
