"Portrait Gallery is consummate location to show off the city with a amazing view down Whitehall,with glass panelling surrounding the entire restaurant you are blown away by the view as soon as you vacate the lift on to restaurant floor. The Portrait restaurant affords you the relaxed setting to have not only a great view but welcomed conversation with your guests, unlike other restaurants here the environment is mellow rather then usual loud atmosphere of diners either clambering to talk to each other or the waiter. The staff are attentive and yet not over bearing, getting that balance of service and eloquence……..the location is another plus not only do you have one of London’s famous galleries downstairs but not a four minute walk are you from Trafalgar Square, were something is always happening.I decided to visit for breakfast having booked through opentable,where my request for a window table was honoured. We was sat down in a kindly manner with water severed as customary and once our orders were placed the food arrived no later than 8 minutes to our glee.The food was just as good as the view that captured us as we entered the room, satisfying does not begin to incapsulate the combination of service, view and food.It’s your choice as always but you must visit the portrait gallery restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner…..notice I didn’t say ‘or’.Cost of meal £20 £40 Group size 2 – 6 Location National Portrait Gallery St Martins Place, London, WC2H 0HE.Carlstimeout rating 8.5/10Writer C.Y"

"I have been here multiple times and received nice food however upon my most recent visits I have been thoroughly dissatisfied. My most recent, and frankly most appalling, visit was today (15/09/22), I brought a family member with me after having recommended the burrito bar a few times; expecting to have a high quality experience. However, unfortunately, we did not. My family member was served first and successfully, they were treated wonderfully by the member of staff and seem rather happy with their meal. For me however, the female that served me had poor customer service skills, her voice was monotone, appearing rather bored, and her questions of what fillings I liked were not that clear. While wrapping my burrito the employee herself noticed the vast amount of liquid just pouring out of my mea and did nothing, it looked disgusting. After sitting down I opened up my burrito to mass amounts of liquid just dripping out, I don’t even know what it was! I struggled to eat my meal as it was falling apart alongside being wet and cold. My tortilla was just disintegrating due to how soggy it was. After finishing my hands were dripping in said liquid. The “spicy” beans tasted like watered down heinz and my chicken was not nice. My “tomato” rice also tasted plain. I did not enjoy my meal at all, the best part was my can of pop. This place is extremely hit or miss recently, I have no idea what has changed but it is no longer nice. I have also attached a photo of my family members meal who was prepared by the male member of staff. I did not enjoy my food at all but my family member “somewhat” enjoyed theirs at least."
