The Oval Restaurant

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!!

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.
