"I've never had an insulting restaurant experience in my life. after a beautiful meal, with the exception that our medium-sized steak was burned to a crack, the restaurant had a problem with its card machine. after inserting my card it immediately said that the pencil has exceeded without the possibility to insert a pencil. After I tried three times, I asked if we could go to the next room to solve the machine problem from the table (which tried to finish her wein.) the first words the manager said while I looked seriously, did I have to call the police? I was absolutely shocked, insulted and understandably angry when I was a business owner and tried to take my employees for a nice meal. you have to pretend to smoke the place, or try not to pay while your card machine was the problem, is absolutely beyond the friend. I asked a manager and he said he was the manager! after additional argument where I had to demand that he retrieve the amount on the machine (I had to ask repeatedly) Apple pay worked well. I should also note that earlier in the evening a man at another table had the exact same issue and we heard him say he had no time to speak with a manager and wanted to pay only his bill with his card. I will not be back, and this restaurant must seriously consider training its employees in the elite. when they say they call the police on a customer when the card machine is not working crazy."

"Before reading the review, if you do read it, please understand I have nothing to compare this 'experience ' to. For my wife and I this was our first fine dining experience. Don 't get me wrong, we 've been to some lovely places but have always paid about a quarter of the prices on this particular menu. Also, having never frequented anywhere as grand as a restaurant on the top of the Hilton Hotel, I was a little nervous as to how a regular everyday working man from Yorkshire would feel and would be treated. Any thoughts or fears were quashed immediately as we stepped out of the lift. We were greeted warmly, and being a little early, asked if we would like to have a drink first in the 10⁰ Bar adjacent. We took up the offer and that was also amazing, see separate review. From that very first step onto the top floor, to the step back into the lift, the staff were impeccable As we were shown to our table with a window view all staff acknowledged our passing with a smile and a hello. We truly felt like royalty. We ordered our drinks to start and then our main courses. We were considering the taster menu but wasn 't sure if we 'd manage 5 courses, the minimum. A good decision too as we were given some appetisers followed by a small bread selection before our mains arrived. We were asked many times if we needed anything else, drinks etc, but by no means was there any pressure to order. For my main I had Hogget, farced saddle, boulangere, wild garlic sheep’s curd with a side Pomme purée. It came presented, as you 'd expect, like a work of art. The taste was extraordinary. As said previous, I have never dined anywhere near as luxurious before, so I have nothing to compare it to, so I can 't. If asked if it was worth 4 or 5 times what I would normally pay for a main course, absolutely yes. An absolute delicious attack on your taste buds. My wife had Cornish cod A’la grenobloise, kohlrabi, sourdough. I can 't say how nice she found it, I know she did, she really enjoyed it and, again, came presented extremely well. For dessert I had Poire William, Jivara chocolate, eau de vie, mascarpone. This was presented, again, amazingly well and was a ball of ice cream, encased in another ball of ice cream surrounded by a shell of 'something ' topped with a wafer, cream and gold leaf. My wife had Duck egg custard tart, Yorkshire rhubarb, lemon balm. Yes, it was an egg Custard really fancilly presented but tasted like no other egg Custard before. All in all an absolutely fantastic 2hrs. There 's a 15% service charge added but I added more myself. Without hesitation and without doubt would I would recommend Galvinatwindows.com? Absolutely"

"My wife and I had dinner here using a Groupon voucher £49 for three courses each and a glass of either Prosecco or Aperol Spritz). It was a set menu but still plenty to choose from. Some higher-end dishes attracted a surcharge but this wasn’t excessive. The restaurant itself is pleasant enough. Standard hotel restaurant decor. The staff were extremely welcoming and provided excellent service. The food wasn’t much to write home about though sadly. Lovely hot bread was served with our Prosecco which was in a beautiful glass it must be said). Starters were the best course. I had salt and pepper squid with a chilli jam which was very good and my wife had cauliflower and keens cheddar soup which was served with a big cheesy croutons which she loved. I opted to pay a surcharge for the rib eye steak for main course which I asked for rare. Now I expect rare to be hot and seared on the outside whilst still **** in the middle. What I got was a just about lukewarm grey piece of meat which, the fat of which had not been rendered so was still like jelly. Inside the meat was dry and on the blue side of rare. It wasn’t particularly tasty I don’t think it has been seasoned before cooking) and certainly wasn’t ****. I regularly cook steak at home and sear and seal it on a hot griddle pan so that it has a nice char but it is still juicy inside. It’s easily done. For pudding I had the lemon tart with clotted cream which was average. My wife had date pudding essentially sticky toffee pudding) which was dry but sitting on a pool of sickeningly sweet sauce. Again, average. It was an enjoyable experience in general for the money paid but not somewhere I’d return to in a hurry or pay full price for."
