"The Rex Whistler at the Tate Britain, a restaurant inside the prestigious Pimlico art gallery named after the artist, has permanently closed — a decision which comes nearly two years after the dining room’s mural, The Expedition in Pursuit of Rare Meats by Whistler, commissioned in 1926 — a work which features numerous racist images — faced a widespread backlash." - Adam Coghlan

Unlike many other comments, RW becomes one of my best memories in London. Food was superb. Service fine.

My partner and I had an excellent experience today and so we will definitely be back. Very nice starter - I had the veal - my partner was delighted with the beef main course. Nice desserts and greats wines... We always like to see Kate and the waitresses and manager were accommodating and gracious.

We came for brunch on a Saturday. Everything about the experience was excellent - perfect presentation, fresh ingredients, excellent friendly service and a historic location set in the centre of Rex Whistler's magnum opus. We especially like the fact the restaurant takes stand on paying staff a living wage and not requesting tips as a result. The fact the profits support public art is also rewarding.

We went for the jazz brunch and decided not to have eggs, but oysters and other dishes from their lunch menu. The location is beautiful, completely unexpected in the Tate. We particularly liked the staff, who were professional, yet very approachable and had a good sense of humour.

Surprisingly bad service at this classic English restaurant. Be aware you need to like high brow English food or you might be disappointed. The service was sub par both unfriendly and slow a deadly combinations for enjoyment. Paid £71 for 2 people 3 course meals which was marginal value. Beware of the optional but included £1 donation and if you proceed without warning to desert, you're being charged for 3 courses

The food was very refined and the dishes were well designed and crafted, especially the mint flavoured mousse. The atmosphere was very pleasing, but also quite posh. Prices are somewhat on the high side.

Very poor and pompous service from waiters. Nearly empty so not good atmosphere. But to top it all I was m poisoned with cockles that smelt strongly of ammonia - they should never have left the kitchen. Am holed up with food poisoning - great!

Excellent food. Was there for my sisters birthday. The best part was how knowledgable servers were about the wine and the food that goes with it. Wine was also very very fine. I highly recommend.
