High-end Italian restaurant inside The Wellesley (Marriott)

Oval Restaurant

Celebrated my Birthday with my fiance, I'm going to start from the beginning. The decor is absolutely beautiful, very very pretty and comfortable. They have two places to eat. One was a show room and the other a comfortable fine dine. When we got there, we were seated in the beautiful restaurant, their decor was just to perfection I was very mesmerised. I however did not like the way the staff kept staring and kept walking around the table. I felt like every move I made they had an eye on and it made me extremely uncomfortable. All we wanted was some privacy but I felt like we were being watched on every move that we did. I appreciate the fact that they wanted to make sure that we received 100% satisfaction with the service but it made very uncomfortable. As vegetarians,The food was lovely, we had the 5 course tasting menu with a glass of champagne but we had a mocktail as a replacement as we don't drink. We were very disappointed with the last course as it tasted like hospital or even worse food. I didn't expect the last course to turn out so bad, It sort of made me sick. In the middle of our meal, we were told that There is a show starting at the other side and if we wanted to move there and we were very happy with that. The show was absolutely beautiful I think that was the best highlight of the night. We enjoyed it a lot and it was definitely a beautiful place to dine in but I feel like they need to give more privacy and they need to really improvise on the main/hot course for vegetarians.

The service and food were of the highest standard. The restaurant is quite small and is located on the ground floor of the Wellesley hotel. The décor follows an art deco style and is very tastefully done. We pre-booked the 5-course taster menu which included a glass of champagne or non-alcoholic cocktail (if preferred). For the fourth course there was an option between cod and lamb, otherwise all other courses where fixed. Food not only tasted great but was beautifully presented, none of the courses disappointed. The dessert was also followed with petit fours in the form of dainty biscuits. I would highly recommend the whole experience.

Food was really good, interesting menu (we took the pre made menu) great atmosphere and good service, but the prices were to high. For 3 menus it costed about 320 pounds.

Everything was perfect! Mark at the oval restaurant was very accomodatingand professional, we will definitely be coming back

I visited this restuarant recently and thoroughly enjoyed my meal, which was great value for money with the OpenTable offers.
I understand that The Oval Restaurant gets its name due to shape of the restaurant room, the entrances of hotel, restuarant,  bar and tea room were what was a tube station entrance, and it has been beautifully decorated in an art deco styles. The oval size of resturant lends itself to being a small and intimate setting, allowing you to linger over every mouthful, enjoying the flavours, the conversation and the company. The menu plays tribute to the finest traditions of Italian cuisine. Simple ingredients beautifully prepared, authentic dishes, fine presentation and impeccable service make this a dining experience to savour. I look foward to dining again here soon!!

Select dishes are halal. Pork and alcohol present.
