Claudine's Reviews

My husband and I chose to dine at Windows for our 1st wedding anniversary as we wanted somewhere which had a lively atmosphere but also an intimate and romantic feel and Galvin at windows was just that. It was a perfect evening. The bar area was buzzing when we walked in although it was a Saturday night in the Westend so not too surprising, we had mojito's which were fantastic, and then the Galvin Mary's but they were slightly too pungent as they used garlic olives which we found overpowering. Then we were seated in the dining area and was lucky enough to be situated near the windows which of course had the spectacular views everyone talks about. The dinner was delicious, we immediately chose the Chateaubriand as we are meat lovers and it did not disappoint, in our opinion it was cooked to perfection. Then for dessert I had the bananna, chocolate and peanut souffle, and my husband had the basil creme brulee, we was both very happy with our choices. The service is also worth a mention as to me it was faultless, all of the staff were friendly and helpful, and the glasses were constantly full. The Sommelier was incredibly helpful without being pushy or trying to get us to spend more money. He helped us chose a red to accompany the meat, it was just what we wanted.

Although this is an expensive restaurant the service and food were impeccable and therefore justify the price. I would definitely recommend it for special occasions.
