    Amazing experience just sad they kicked us out after spending a big amount of money(on a big selection of food and wine, compared to other customers) just because they like to sell the table one more time that night (we would have spend more money if they let us sit;)

    Carlton Wine Room is always an exceptional experience. The food is outstanding, as is the wine (of course)! To every member of staff - you are consistently brilliant.

    Food was great. Service from a gentleman re. wine was outstanding. Was a bit noisy being downstairs - I was previously upstairs when I felt it a bit more quiet. Overall, great atmosphere though.

    We had a lovely time celebrating our 12th anniversary. From the greeting as we entered to the lovely staff that served us, we were spoilt. The drinks were great and the food we ate was delicious.

    Excellent food, and superb wine list by the bottle. Relatively minor quip: Wines served by the glass were more glou glou for the most part(as is often the case). Would have loved to see the option to have something Coravined and offered by the glass or carafe - or maybe at least offer some 375s? Too bad I was not there with a large party so we could order a couple of bottles.
