Worst meal I have had for a long time. On par with a spoons without the cheap prices. Stay at the hotel regularly but would avoid this restaurant. Over cooked and almost inedible.

No puedo creer lo decepcionante que fue mi experiencia en este restaurante. Desde el momento en que llegamos, las cosas empezaron a ir cuesta abajo. El servicio de bebidas era dolorosamente lento, e incluso se olvidaron de uno de nuestros entrantes. Los otros entrantes no eran nada especial, solo sosos y olvidables. El verdadero desastre, sin embargo, fue el plato fuerte. Pedí lo que se suponía que era una ensalada mediterránea de calabazas asadas, que sonaba encantadora. Lo que recibí estaba lejos de eso. Era básicamente una triste pila de lechuga flácida cubierta con un asqueroso chorrito, y para empeorar las cosas, habían echado un puñado de patatas fritas con sal y vinagre. ¿Quién demonios pensaría que es un plato aceptable para servir? Obviamente lo envié de vuelta y me sirvieron una pasta simple muy promedio, tuve dos bocados y dejé el resto. He adjuntado una foto de la ensalada servida, es difícil de creer que no fuera una broma. El servidor intentó compensarlo con vino y un postre gratis, pero no creo que la comida principal sea tan horrible.

I honestly don't understand the bad reviews. I came here last night with my friend as we were staying at the premier inn nearby and wanted somewhere to eat. The place had a nice atmosphere the staff were absolutely lovely and accommodating and the food was just right. The cocktails were nice too! Thanks so much!

My friends and I visited here yesterday for a late lunch after one of us had completed the Triathlon next door. With such crowds in the area this place had ample opportunity to be set up to cater for the crowds. To say this place was ill equipped to do so and poorly staffed would be an understatement. We only visited because the other outdoor bar space at the other end of Excel was packed and this place we would at least get a table and the menu looked fine. The staff took our order but seemed clueless as to how to do so properly. We then waited almost an hour for our food and the staff were clueless on how to handle this. We would blame the crowds in the restaurant but there were none. The food was fine but the cafe setup with high prices was uncalled for. Sadly when it came to the bill, the 12.5% service charge was not optional which felt wrong. Would not recommend unfortunately.

After watching/taking part in a triathlon, our party of five headed here for some food and drink. Despite the restaurant being relatively quiet, we had several issues with the service. We asked for a little more time to choose our food, and were then forgotten about. One member of the party had to seek out staff to ask for someone to come and take our order. It then took an hour for our food to arrive, not ideal when one of the party has just engaged in tough physical activity. Again, we had to chase staff for an update on when our food would arrive. Although the food was perfectly acceptable, the level or service really was not. To add insult to injury, we were asked as the last dish was handed over if everything was ok with our food. Give us a chance to taste it first, eh! Most disappointingly, after paying, the member of staff returned to ask us to pay the service charge. We were rather disappointed with the poor service, and being asked to pay for it was somewhat embarrassing.

Not quite sure what they mean by ‘neighbourhood’ but it’s next to a convention centre in a restaurant desert so I guess they’re being quirky or having a laugh. Either way the food at dinner was dismal with really weird dishes that sounded like they had been created with AI. Beetroot bruschetta? You got it! Uncooked rigatoni in a teaspoon of pesto where the rigatoni is actually penne? Yes! Jellied guacamole on corn chips? More! Awful.

I saw 3 out of 5 was expecting the worst. But I'll be honest food was good. Its more of a cafe setup with a fine dining price tag. Staff was great 10/10. Just food came out very slow which in a hotel you really do need speed. No complaints don't think if anyone at hotel wants to eat you won't be disappointed with the food or how nice staff are. But rest good luck lol.

Inconsistent portions and an overall rip-off. Several colleagues and I ate here on 3 occasions in the space of a week due to it being the only choice available to us at the time. The sirloin steak portions were completely ridiculous. £35 with no sides for a steak that looked like it had been split among 3 people. One colleague ordered a sirloin salad at £25 and had more steak than all of us at a much more reasonable price. Service was dire throughout the 3 visits. The final visit was the worst, with 8 members of our group having spent £300+ and reluctantly paid the ridiculous 12.5% service charge on top. We were then confronted by one waiter throwing a mild tantrum in front of the group as someone had forgotten to pay for a £4 portion of chips. Do yourselves a favour and look further afield.

Firstly, the service is on par with the best restaurants at which I’ve eaten, Dilhaj, in particular, went above and beyond to make our evening perfect.

This is a review about their breakfast (you can walk in and eat here even if you’re not an Aloft guest): The buffet is lackluster, certainly not worth £17.50 even given the usual amount hotel restaurants overcharge. There were the traditional English breakfast components but the scrambled eggs were sitting in a pot of watery liquid, the bacon was tough, and all of it was cold. There is a deli platter section and those things are oddly warm and taste off. Lastly, they advertise gluten free options but really what you can eat then are the baked tomatoes, mushrooms, watery scrambled eggs, bacon, deli platter, and fruit salad. They have no bread substitutes and everything is from shared buffet containers so the odds of cross contamination is SO high. Disappointed and leaving hungry. I suggest crossing the street to buy the buffet at the doubletree, while it’s still a mediocre buffet they at least have safe GF and dairy free options (ask for an omelette to be made!) and their coffee machines do espresso

Do yourself a favor, and avoid this place. We waited for our food for way over and hour, when it got here every single order was wrong. After telling them we had the wrong side, I had to remind them 45 min later that we were still waiting for the correct sides. Place wasn't even crowded. When we told them the issues we had, we were met with arrogance... Finally they decided to give us a discount after the whole table complained. Food was less that mediocre. Embarrassing.

Visited for a conference. Asked if we needed to book, they were all really lovely and said just turned up. After enjoying a pint of lager shandy we wandered upstairs at 7.30. The staff were totally thrown when we asked for both a table and for dinner. We were shown to the bar and told there was a 30 minute wait. We should have read the room, looking at people gently rocking in the corner who may have been there for some weeks waiting for a table. After some time, we convinced the bartender that it would be a good idea to take our order. Eventually delivered, he even offered to open the bottle. About an hour later we were seated in a restaurant so well lit, a dermatologist could run a successful clinic. We were told there would be a *little* wait for food. By this point our colleagues had started to arrive, having been lulled into the same false state of security. We asked for them to be added to our table, but alas, it wasn’t to be, the empty tables that surrounded us had a different destiny, of empty lonely rejection. Our food still had not arrived. The table behind us returned their cold burgers. We were worried. Eventually my colleague noted an order identical to ours was waiting to be served. She offered the waiting staff her help and said she’d fetch it. Eventually like warm food started arriving in dribs and drabs. We were quickly accosted by the colleagues who were still trapped in limbo at the bar, who were scrabbling for scraps. We donated to them our small bowls of chips as they arrived and ate what we could of whatever remained. We were offered a cup of complimentary tea. It was the best thing on the menu. As we left, having to pay the bill at the bar on the way out as they didn’t bring it to the table (and we were worried a general election would come before it arrived), we stopped to pay our respects to our still hungry colleagues, who were feasting on crusts of bread and cold chips. They may still be waiting for their table, I can’t be sure. On reflection, it’s worth the 10 minute walk across the excel to visit Nando’s. The staff were lovely, there just weren’t nearly enough of them, or enough training.

Was starving and thought I would treat myself to dinner whilst staying at aloft. Had fish and chips and was really disappointed. The fish was greasy and soggy and didn't justify the price. There is also an automatically added service charge to the bill, which I found unfair. I was served by a bald Caucasian man that seemed to be the only one taking his role seriously, the rest of the staff were just messing around destroying the whole atmosphere. I have stayed a few times at this hotel and it's a shame to see the low standards I've noticed in this restaurant . I've always enjoyed my stays here, but this restaurant is a disappointing experience. Please step up and improve.

We were sat for an hour and the only thing we had, had were halloumi fries which we shared. Then the mains come but the lady didn’t actually put My partners order through so my main came and his didn’t. Then when his finally came I found mold on my burger. Then had to wait ages for a new one. Bare in mind they gave NO communication and didn’t even ask for a drink refill. After about 30 mins I asked how long it would be, the man said he would check then never actually came back to give me an answer. Completely disappointed as this was a birthday meal for my partner. To make things worse the chefs weren’t even wearing hats!! As a chef myself I would expect basic PPE to be worn to stop cross contamination. This is a 4 star hotel I expect a lot better!!!

The food is awful!!! “Chipotle chicken” tacos (that are served freezing cold fyi)… That chicken has never seen a seasoning a day in its life and the salsa is straight out of a grocery store jar, same with the taco shell, looks like Taco Bell. Why are we putting a mix of lettuce, arugula and carrots in tacos? Also got the sea bass and it tasted like freezer burn, had bones in it, and again no seasoning. Broccolini was soaked in just butter, no salt no pepper. Please do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else. The best decision we made was ordering a side of onion rings, and even those were undercooked… I’d rather have a tuna mayo sandwich from Boots lol

Nothing available on the menu and when we did order we weren’t told what we had wasn’t fully available and replacements sent without warning. shocking, for a nice hotel the food was awfully presented with dips and sides in cheap plastic containers.

The food was appalling, Came from the North to stay in Docklands…. We tried out this restaurant as from the outside and the menu it didn’t look that bad, But when we received our food it was absolutely disappointing, The presentation of the food looked as it was dropped on the floor and then picked up and put straight back on the plate, The mushrooms and the chicken had no moisture which meant it was all over cooked and dry… The veg was absolutely shocking as it was just thrown on the plate with no flavour to it…. The best part of the restaurant was the water to wash down the dry taste left in my mouth…. Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone!!!

The restaurent website gave the impression that this was a trendy bistro-style place with cutting-edge dishes, but when we turned up it turned out to only provide a buffet of a few salad items, bbq spare ribs, spicy chicken wings, salmon pieces and some rather tired looking puds. And all for £48 a head, plus £7 a pint for beer. The food tastes all right, but it's not what we were led to expect. The staff were charming, but the food wasn't.

Love this place! I have been here a few times and the food is always so delicious. Came here on Friday as we wanted something to eat after an evening at the pub and ended up here. It’s the little things like the amazing and friendly servers, the chilled music and the bread they give you while you wait for your food. The chefs are honestly so good and yes it is a little pricey I guess (after reading other reviews) but I believe you get what you pay for sometimes and so don’t really mind so much. I would recommend the mac and cheese (doesn’t look that special but once you taste it omg) and the duck and potato was amazing to! Like reallyyy good.

We went for lunch when visiting the Excel Centre for an exhibition with our 8 year old son. When we sat down we were given menus, no children's menu. I should have asked, but as she didn't offer us a children's menu, I assumed they didn't have. When ordering, the waitress seemed very confused when I wanted to mix and match 'sides of mash potato' and just the 'grilled chicken' from the burger for my child's meal, it took awhile for her to understand and at no time did she offer us a children's menu. She clearly should have realised I was trying to work around the current menu to hand, to create a plate of food for my child as the adult versions of burger, squid ink pasta etc...would be too large for him. We also ordered a diet coke for child and the waitress turned up with our drinks and an already opened Pepsi Maxi stating they didn't have diet and promptly put it on the table in front of him. Surely if this was the case, she should have come back to us to confirm this was okay or offer an alternative? Our order came and was perfectly fine, but I then noticed on the reservation table with all the menu's a children's menu and a table a distance away from us the child was eating a children's meal!!! The food was also overpriced for what it was £12 for a side of mash and a small piece of chicken. We won't go back, nor recommend.

The only good thing about this establishment in my opinion is the the view, in my opinion this is the only good thing going for it. We stopped here for a drink after being at the Ride London 2019 Expo but after paying for the drinks and looking at the menu we decided that no way we were having food here. As usual London is so expensive £5 for a pint and a glass bottle of coke like £2 something. As for the food, their food menu was like a snack menu and definitely not worth the prices they were asking for.

I was hesitant to write this review because I wanted to just let the experience go but for the sake of those wanting to make a choice about where to eat.....this is NOT the place to choose! On arrival it was chaos and the advance...

Service is good. Food is basic but tasty. Ok if you are hungry or at the hotel but not one to go out of your way for. Buffet breakfast has a wide range but be prepared to wait for the toaster

Standard breakfast you can expect at a hotel of this size, buffet with full English, continental options all presented nicely and tastes brilliant.

Nice place if you are after a generic Euro-fusion hotel restaurant feed. I often stop for a couple of drinks here on the way out of ExCeL. A lot quieter than the bar downstairs. The al fresco dining area will be great come summer.

Having the restaurant close by is always convenient and this restaurant do a good job. The food is as expected and pretty good size servings. The baked camembert is a must try.

If I could give a zero rating I would. I have never experienced such appalling service. Saturday night 7pm and 9 of us staying at the hotel decided to book a table. The earliest they could fit us in was 9pm. We decided we would...

Once again stayed in the adjoining hotel with colleagues and we eat here on our first night, - and experienced the same awful service. This time the restaurant was a lot quieter so the busy excuse is no justification. Problems, - menu limited and expensive...

We regularly stay at the Aloft hotel. As the hotel’s restaurant Docksider is the obvious choice for dinner and breakfast. We have eaten here many times. We have learnt to expect the food to be OK but a bit expensive for what you get -...

I ate here on my the last day of my 6 day stay. I ordered a burger with bacon which was extra. I also asked for a side order of onion rings. When the food was delivered the kitchen had not added the bacon. The...

I ate in the docksider twice while it at a conference in the London excell. The restaurant is very pleasant, and the staff very prompt and friendly. The food itself is good hotel food, and while far from cheap, for a London based hotel, I...

Awful service, staff inattentive. Food wasn't cooked, potatoes came out hard. Staff didn't once ask how the meal was. Not worth the money at all!

Fuimos al Chicago Rib Shack en la tarde del sábado. Encontramos asientos en el patio de comidas lo suficientemente fácil.Pedí costillitas que vienen con ensalada de col. Fichas (lados) que tiene que pedir por separado. Pedí las papas fritas y un batido Oreo.La comida salió bastante rápido (le dan un timbre de mano para que sepa cuándo recoger su comida).Las porciones eran bastante pequeñas para lo que pagas, incluido el tamaño del batido.El problema principal era que la comida estaba tibia.Costillas de ternera, hamburguesa con queso y chile también fue pedido de mi grupo.Las costillas de ternera que venían con aros de cebolla que estaban muy fríos.La comida de todos los demás también era tibia.Es una pena ya que la comida sabía bien.
