Lived up to my expectations. Everything was 5 star, from the cocktails, to the food to the service. The decor was incredible and the views epic, but the best thing about this place is its range of Japanese whisky and Sake options. Planning to go back again soon. The only gripes I have are that I was sent the wrong way to the when saying I had a booking at the samba bar by the receptionist. Plus I spoke with someone ahead of my booking and asked for a table rather than a bar seat, but when I got there they gave me the bar seat. However it was quickly remedied. These issues were minor in comparison to the great service I received while sitting down.

Sushi with a Brazilian twist. This is seriously good food, the taste across all the dishes was amazing. Let’s not forget the views of course. Or the attentive service. Really impressed. Will return for an intimate evening followed by drinks in the bar.

Vistas increíbles, buena comida pero un personal muy grosero.Llevé a mis amigos que estaban visitando Londres para un almuerzo de domingo allí, al llegar recibí una cálida bienvenida desde el frente de la casa para sentarme y decirles que "si no sabes inglés, ¿qué estás haciendo?" aquí "disculpe qué? ? ? ?¡Es increíble escuchar que uno de los miembros de su personal tiene el deber de atender a sus invitados y asegurarse de que reciban lo que están pagando por no señalar su nivel de inglés! !Muy grosera y poco profesional esa señora arruinó todo, no podía decir nada delante de mis amigos, ya que lo tomaron como una broma, pero vamos, eso es realmente estúpido.¡Supongo que esa mujer rubia y rizada recibirá capacitación adicional para aprender sobre el servicio al cliente! ! ! !

Un posto che merita di essere visitato da chi si trova a Londra almeno una volta. Si può salire al 40esimo piano di questo grattacielo, ossia proprio in cima. C’è sia il lato ristorante che il lato drink. Noi abbiamo trascorso il pomeriggio nell’area Drink ed è stata un’esperienza unica. Ci sono più bar situati in 3 piani differenti, c’è anche un angolo dove preparano sushi freschissimo. La musica era bellissima, adatta al posto. Abbiamo preso dei cocktail non comuni e buonissimi a 14£ , una bottiglia di vino a 45£ e un antipasto a 25£ ma è ovvio che in un posto così i prezzi siano alti. C’è la possibilità di sedersi in terrazza accanto al fuoco, è tutto molto curato e d’effetto. Il servizio è stato impeccabile

Ansioso por probar este restaurante bien considerado con sus asombrosas vistas de Londres, su hermosa área exterior (no estoy seguro para comer o simplemente para disfrutar de las bebidas de su excelente bar) y su moderna área gastronómica, nos las arreglamos para reservar durante un almuerzo en el Medio de la fabulosa área de la ciudad de Londres.En este contexto, está claro que la clientela son comerciantes de la ciudad / banqueros / corredores y similares, a menudo con grandes cuentas de gastos y falta de tiempo.Nuestra primera decepción fue un camarero bastante oficioso que tenía un aire de superioridad y aparentemente confundió nuestras preguntas para entender el menú como ignorancia. Poco de falso error para ser sincero.Pedimos una copa de champán y un vodka martini. Más una jarra de agua del grifo. Con una de sus cejas levantadas, asintió, sin duda, señora.El Sommelier se acercó para preguntar si queríamos ayuda para elegir un vino, pero mi esposo le dijo que cada uno de nosotros probaría el vuelo de 3 vasos de Saki. También le pedimos que retuviera el Saki hasta que llegara nuestra comida ya que no teníamos prisa.Nuestro camarero "mejor que usted" luego volvió a preguntar si ya habíamos seleccionado del menú. Dijimos que sí, pero queríamos esperar hasta que llegaran nuestros cócteles antes de que llegara la comida. Reiteramos que no teníamos prisa.Ciertamente señor, señora. Pero por supuesto.Después de haber decidido optar por el menú de degustación de 8 platos de Sushi Samba Express Omakase a 58 cada uno, y con base en su seguridad, hicimos el pedido.En muy poco tiempo, la llegada de nuestros cócteles aterrizó frente a nosotros y, en menos de 2 minutos, los dos primeros de los tres platos de inicio.Como eran platos fríos, no nos importó, y comenzamos a disfrutar y saborear lo que realmente es la comida más deliciosa.Sin embargo, con los cócteles aún sin terminar, llegó el último de los platos de inicio, un Wagyu Gyoza caliente. Dado que Saki era nuestra elección de bebida con tan deliciosa comida, les pedimos que se llevaran la Goyza hasta que hubiéramos terminado nuestros cócteles y nuestra Saki hubiera sido servida.Ahí es cuando las cosas iban cuesta abajo.Cuando terminamos nuestros cócteles y los dos entrantes le sonreímos dulcemente a nuestro camarero y dijimos que nos encantaría la Goyza. Ciertamente señora, señor.Lo que llegó fue el plato medio de sushi y el Saki, no Goyza. No dijimos nada.El sushi terminó, y luego nos compramos un plato de Heritage Carrots en lugar del curso que debería haberles precedido.Todavía no hay Goyza.Las zanahorias terminaron, luego nos sirvieron el plato principal de Sea Bass Tempura en lugar del curso que se había dejado de lado. Pero luego trajeron a la Goyza. El entrante de carne con el pescado principal.Después de eso vino el curso que debería haberse servido antes que las zanahorias (siguiéndome).Cuando comentamos que estaba un poco fuera del orden de servicio, todavía sonriendo dulcemente, el oficiante camarero respondió. 'bueno, es un menú rápido, que se sirve para personas apresuradas y la cocina no lo sabe'.'Oh, dijo señora, tal vez debería haberles dicho que cuando le dijimos que no teníamos prisa'.Entonces, ¿dónde está esta revisión - comida maravillosa. Los gustos son sublimes. Vale cada centavo. Todavía estoy salivando (a pesar del hecho de que cada plato caliente que nos sirvieron se dejó en el pase hasta que llegó a nuestra mesa tibio).Reviso muchos restaurantes y los observo muy de cerca.¿Volveríamos? Con los camareros que adoptan una actitud superior ante un cliente, y luego usan su "poder" para instruir a la cocina para que interrumpa una orden, simplemente porque "pueden", entonces la respuesta es un rotundo no.Mi esposo pagó la cuenta, mientras yo visitaba la habitación de las Damas. Cuando entré, un miembro del personal, masculino y femenino, se apoyaba en el extremo de la carrera de la cuenca charlando. Me veo sorprendido. El miembro masculino dijo, está bien, limpio aquí, por favor, no se preocupe y adelante. No quería seguir adelante. Tampoco estaba preocupado. Quería entrar en una habitación de mujeres y estar cómoda. Entré en el puesto y esperé un par de minutos para que terminaran su conversación antes de irse.Luego me quedé fuera del armario de abrigos bajo llave, observando el personal de recepción charlando hasta que alguien levantó la vista y vagó sin rumbo para soltar mi abrigo.En todos los niveles esto fue una desgracia. ¿Cómo se atreve el personal a tratar a los clientes de esa manera? La alta dirección debe cuidarlo.

My partner and myself took a friend for a Valentines pre drink at the bar at the Heron Tower.We ordered 2 gin and tonics and a coke but didn't pay straight away. After one drink we decided to leave and I asked for the bill. This was over £33. It was clear that the two ladies had been served doubles but we had not asked for those. I paid but felt the way this was done was sneaky as the bar man did not ask if we wanted singles or doubles.

Ladies night we visited Sushi Samba, would definitely recommend the place was amazingly ambient, beautiful interior and the nicest exterior I have seen with fire pits and an amazing lit life size blossom tree outside. Drinks prices vary as we found out, a small glass of Pinot being £8.90 and a hand made rhubarb gin being £23.00. But would return for the atmosphere and design alone, a must go if in Liverpool Street or Heron tower.

Smart-casual bar on 40th floor with fantastic views out over London. Based in the very centre of the City of London, with prices reflecting its location - expensive drinks, but worth it for a treat or special occasion. Glass elevator on outside of building is all part of the experience. Good venue for pre-dinner drinks if the weather provides clear views: recommended.

Couldn't get a dinner reservation so we went to the Bar on the 38th to 40th floor (it is split across 3 levels. We went first to the outside bar which was great - bit windy but fantastic views across London on a glorious sunny day, followed by glorious sunset. The bar staff at all bars were very attentive, pleasant, and fast to notice if you weren't being served. Had lovely Lychee Cooler - yum and a G&T. Then went to upstairs bar to look at views across Gherkin to Tower Bridge and beyond. Really great views and also good bar food.

We had the chance to be invited there for a private party. It is really a perfect spot for a small event.The room had 30 people sitting with great views of London. The food was very good. Our waiters were adorable - although the guy who welcomes you when you are out of the elevator was not friendly at all.The outside bar with a view was sadly closed. The other one with a quirky orange tree was open and had a nice vibe.People get very dressed up there (a bit show off maybe) & there is a fun party atmosphere. Unusual: The speedy lift to get there has an amazing London view. Same for the ladies toilets.

Shame the evening was ruined by the start of the night being frisk searched and interrogated and then told I couldn't take my life saving medication up as it was not it's original packaging. Considering it's in massive bottle it's unlikely (but it's clear that unless Gilead have started making illicit drugs as it was clearly labelled) so I was forced to take the medication early and in the lobby.

To the right of the building as you look at it from the road is a small entrance to the restaurant/bar. If you are dressed appropriately they might let you up to the bar on the 40th floor. The lift races up making your ears pop and then discharges you outside the toilets in a rather grotty area. Having made your way past these though you enter a wonderful quirky bar with the most amazing views. Drinks are far from cheap, but worth it for the location!

I was in Brick Lane with a visitor from abroad when I decided to take him for a drink on the top floor (40th).Obviously we were dressed as tourists so when we arrived at the reception on the ground floor, we were told, after being nastily checked up by the security guy, that only this time they'd let us go up (middle of the day, clearly no one too fancy upstairs at that time). The elevator experience was majestic and fast, the view was oh my god amazing and we managed to find a space to enjoy it after a few minutes. Great and expensive cocktails, nice staff.

Treated us like we were stupid until we showed her their email confirmstion, suddenly she found it! Great startBar area nice and staff helpful but smile they could notOver £600 for 4 of us and again a host of staff that appeared to be there against their willFood was excellent, and it was a shame that all 4 of us felt that with some decent staff this could be an exceptional place.

38 floors up is a great experience to see the views of London plus eat great food. We want as a business party and the 5 courses were really good with a great variety of food. Even if you don't like raw fish there are other dishes and they accommodate all. The one downside is the noise as there was a DJ playing background music and you can't really hear too much across a table or what the waiters or waitresses are saying. All in all a nice place.

Great views and a couple of good cocktails. However disappointing bar service and when we queried an automatic 12.5% service applied to our bill for drinks we ordered at the bar and that we carried outside, the response was "well I've put it through now". I'm not sure that's great service and surely he could have void it and start again? Better service would have encouraged us to order another drink ... instead we left and carried on drinking cocktails at another venue. Shame, and we are unlikely to return.

Third time to Sushi Samba. Twice for Lunch with clients and once for breakfast at the Duck and Waffle. The client I took on this occasion was a senior powerful honcho at a large international company, so needed a place to impress. The lift to Sushi Samba is worth the journey in itself. Didn't disappoint with the food either, or the corner table and service. Book in advance for a good spot and also the best views. If you want to the Tower Bridge View, state this clearly. I was most impressed with the head of staff personally coming over to greet us and availed himself at our service. His team did the same too as I had informed them I was bringing the client. My client made a mental note and even joked about buying the building! The sushi is delicious and freshly made on site. No detail is spared and you enjoy the best ingredients. If there is a downside to this eatery, it is the expense. It can be pricey depending on what you order. Not a place if you are watching the pennies. However, definitely worth the trip.

Located a short walk from the Liverpool Street Station tube stop, the Heron building and its top floors offer spectacular views across London. There is a dedicated exterior entrance to the glass elevators that whisk you to the 40th floor and the Duck and Waffle bar and restaurant. A staircase connects to Sushi Samba another fine spot to eat and drink. Reservations are essential, but at Duck and Waffle from3:30-5:00pm there are no reservations and walk ins can often be accommodated. Winter sunset views over the city were well worth the effort and expense.

The service was brilliant view was amazing and the cocktails tasted good pricey but worth the money to give you idea we ordered two cocktails and two beers which came to £45.The main attraction I feel for the Heron Tower is the glass lift, you will know what I mean once you have been there.

Sushisamba and Duck & Waffle are two restaurants on the high floors of the Heron Tower. They are all connected by staircase so you can easily visit all three. I would highly suggest getting a booking at one of the two restaurants, more when there is daylight, to take in the wonderful sites and have a good meal. Both restaurants serve good food and provide an excellent ambiance. If you didn't want to eat, you can go to the bar at Sushisamba and enjoy some cocktails and the views. you do have to pay for the view as the prices are higher, but it is understandable. I would recommend avoiding both during Friday and Saturday without a dining booking as it would be very busy and you might be stuck waiting in a queue outside to get in.

Went for lunch in Sushi Samba, service was over the top servile and lacked substance as my food arrived 10 minutes after my partners main course and the wine arrived after I'd finished my meal. Food is expensive for something average, you are paying for the view and we got a view over East London so nothing special. I recommend you sit in the bar, have a cocktail and look out over the City, that really is special, then go to a good restaurant for dinner.

We were fortunate enough to get a table in the outdoor terrace area and it was lovely to have cocktails overlooking London. Before leaving we went up to the top floor and the views are fantastic, the Thames from so high looks like a stream almost. This is definitely a place for the "beautiful people" and judging by the attitude of some of the staff they think they are those people too. Strange really that they are serving rather than being waited upon then. It was an experience but one I would not repeat.

A fantastic ride up the lift with fabulous views and then I walk into this so called iconic venue to meet the unhappy unhelpful miserable bar staff which made me want to jump back on that lift. It's a real shame, a very odd atmosphere void of any real character and for the very pricey drinks I personally would expect so much more. A group of us had to wait nearly 20 minutes in the relatively empty downstairs bar for one of the four bar staff members to be polite enough to make eye contact and ask us if we wanted a drink. Please someone train these people, sure they can smile and be engaging I would rather have mediocre cocktails with great service - maybe send them to Be At One for some insight. Greats views but there are lots more friendly rooftop places to go in London these days...

It's a great place to go to if you have some guests visiting London as the view of the city is really good (provided you manage to get a seat by the window). I'm really disappointed with the general atmosphere in there though...There's just some spark missing. Maybe it's because of the music they play (quite heavy and annoying type of music) and miserable staff. No one smiles at you and the service is rather poor. Adding the ridiculously overpriced drinks with 12.5% service charge! (for just pouring a tiny glass of wine that costs 10 pounds itself) even though you order at the bar as no one really bothers to bring your drinks to the table. Really annoyed at this place. It has a potential to be really amazing with the right management, staff etc.

Beautiful view from the restaurant, and places outside as well. Food is delicious but very expensive. The staff was very kind and our food was brought very quickly. Only disatvantages I could find about this restaurant were the prices, and two other things; One of the staff spoiled water on our food/table while fulling the glasses. Not very nice, but we didn't complain. I was also almost offered a Chicken Heart instead of Chicken Teriyaki. The blinds went down as well, blocking the sunlight which I thought was comfortable. Great place to get a good view over London and to eat Sushi. The tube isn't far away. Definitely recommended.

Wir waren im Heron Tower, um abends entspannt einen Cocktail trinken zu gehen. Bereits an den Fahrstühlen wird man unten von freundlichem Personal empfangen. Der Fahrstuhl ist ganz aus Glas und schon die Fahrt in den ca. 40. Stock ist toll. Oben angekommen, empfängt einen eine tolle Atmossphäre, die Preise für die Cocktails liegen bei a ca. 14 Pfund. Der tolle Ausblick auf den Finanzdistrikt und auf die Tower Bridge im Hintergrund ist es wert!

If you are afraid of heights this is not for you... The glass elevator takes you to the 40th floor in roughly 5 seconds (losing your stomach in the way!).Gorgeous views and lovely bars and restaurants at the top (quite pricey to eat and drink but nice as a novelty)

We went to London for my husbands birthday. We wanted to go to the sky garden but when we got there it was closed due to maintenance. We stumbled across the heron tower whilst looking for a birds eye view of London. There was a receptionist at the front entrance and we asked if we could go up the tower to look at the view. Amazingly she let us go up to the top floor bar. We were wearing jeans and trainers and looked generally haggard and scruffy and definitely not the clientele that should be allowed into a place like that. Everyone else up there were in suits or dresses. But despite feeling like a pair of chavs, it was warm and beautiful up there. The view was amazing and London looked lovely in the snow. The lift up was brilliant and so quick! I would recommend it. Beware though 1 cocktail costs the same price as 3 meals at weatherspoonsWe ordered what we thought was a coffee for £5 each. It was actually a tiny expresso going by a different name. I think we were only allowed up because it was snowing and there was virtually no-one about but it was worth it for the view and the lift! Excellent for view decor and lift, poor for prices

We went to the 40th floor bar for a pre-lunch drink with the hope of a fab atmosphere and surroundings and a great view. You can definitely get a good view, but the seating is a bit awkward to get the view from certain seats. The 39th floor was closed off so you couldn't wander downstairs for a better view. The décor is shabby-chic (if you like that kind of thing), but otherwise unremarkable and not too exciting. We had a cocktail and a glass of champers each (4 drinks in total) which came to short of £70. Not sure it was really worth it.

Dès votre entrée, Heron Tower est sécurisé par un garde qui s'assure que vous n'avez pas d'arme à feu! Le resto Sushi Samba est très ''jet set'', les plats sont bon, mais dispendieux (300 pounds pour 4 avec 4 apéros et 1 bouteille de vin)

Fabulous birthday celebration at sushi samba on 38th floor overlooking surrounding streets of Bishopsgate. Started with cocktails on the open air terrace then into the restaurant for excellent starters , salt and pepper squid, succulent pork belly, tempura prawns all delicious. Followed by a selection of sushi rolls, and finished off with mouth watering desserts the best being the chili chocolate.

We (party of three) ate here recently. Great views. Food is good but portions - as expected - small. I dont think it's the kind of place to come for a slap up meal. Prices reflected the rarified air we were eating in and the staff were very friendly, polite and well drilled. I would come back, but more for the experience than the food per se.

We had an amazing dinner here at Sushi Samba. The food was innovative & delicious and the views were amazing (we came during sunset on a beautiful day). What made the experience 5 * was the friendliness of the staff. Very down to earth and knowledgeable. Refreshing for a top London restaurant. Can't wait to be back.

Very disappointed with the lack of service and staff. As we entered the bar no one to greet, show you to a seat as people were spread out, therefore we had to ask a couple if we could sit down as had their coats and bags on the two pouffe's. We waited to be served girl brought a menu over never saw her again. In the meantime I went over to the bar or island where waiter was making drinks to ask if I can order he rudely said go sit down I'll send my colleague over! After waiting 10 minutes we walked out and made our way to the Hampshire Leicester Square where we were seated in a comfy armchair and service impeccable with lovely ambience.

I've been up the empire state, chrystler building, eiffel tower, and a couple of unpronounceable towers in Bangkok. I have to say the lift to get you to the top of this gives the best view! I went quite late at night, but the lights of London were great, looking forward to trying it in the day.There were no balconys open for me to smoke on so it was a pleasure to keep having to travel to street level and back again.

The Heron building bar perched 40 floors up above the city of London. Ride the exterior glass elevator in seconds to experience spectacular views over London. The bar is intimate with very friendly and quick sevice albeit expensive, however you are primarily paying for the ambience and view. Good selection of international wines and beers. I recommend the experience if you have a few hours to spare. Close to Liverpool street station and tube.

Well worth a visit for a few drinks, we visited around 11pm on a Friday and there was a short queue (probably waited 10 mins) to enter. The lift up is cool as you can see out across London as you go up. They ensure that the actual venue does not get over crowded and it was pretty easy to get a drink, although the prices were high (we expected this though). The views are fantastic across London at night and make this place worth a visit. we couldn't get a table to eat this time, but we will hopefully return to eat in Sushi Samba at some point

The elevator ride up to Sushi Samba had my heart in my mouth . I felt like Charlie and the chocolate factory may have done in the great glass elevator. Still when we arrived at the restaurant the small bar was buzzing with people and we grabbed a beer and went out to the outdoor terrace , Good views to say the least . Dinner was pretty typical Japanese food . Well executed and with an attentive and informative service to boot . Its mid range to expensive in terms of cost but worth a visit even to admire the fantastic dining room and superb views across the city of London

Have been to both duck and waffle as well as sushi samba.A great place to go for views of London. The open air place to drink is fantastic. The food at both places is limited on vegetarian options and I would urge the managers to introduce more options just because you guys are so creative. All the same a place worth going to - don't go without reservations.

Ok , so the buzz starts looking up from the pavement , the sheer height is awesome and then the external lift ride is breath taking , faster than the speed of light , its like a fairground ride . Taking you to the start of the next chapter. The outside bar in the summer brings in a varied clientele , city workers in their suits , tourists with their maps and the GP who wish to sample the relaxed superb atmosphere . So outside is buzzy and inside more relaxed , waiting for tables and a seat by the window . WHAT A VIEW ! Probably for me the best in London . You have to be there to believe it , I was lucky enough to get there late afternoon , so daylight views then the magic of night . So the food menu fusion great for me as I like the choice service was a little so but that's down to the success of the restaurant and whilst not cheap it is a top place to eat and well worth it . A must even just for a drink but bring an over draught .

I had lunch at Sushi Samba on Boxing day and I really liked it.The view was amazing and the restaurant really cool, I also enjoyed the food they serve.The staff was nice but they do not know really well the dishes: I asked the waiter ( who was really kind indeed) to recommend me something not containing Avocado, since I do not like it, and I ended up with a Temaki that did contain Avocado. No matter I could remove it and my Temaki was good anyway .

Visited the roof top bar Sushi samba on 38th floor with a few business colleagues. It was early evening just before Christmas and the place was bustling.The views over London are spectacular!We didn't eat but being able to observe the chefs at work was an education in itself. I watched them fillet the largest piece of tuna I has ever seen.The bar is very expensive. From mind it was about £8 for a small bottle of beer. Having said that you are in a prime location at the best city in the world! (and it was Christmas)

Went with all the family for my daughter's 25th lunch on a Sunday. Busy, busy!The experience starts with a speedy glass lift/elevator ride to the top area of the Heron Tower in the city of London. Very cool!There is a more casual bar diner area for drinks/snacks, and an outside area also where we took some photos. The main dining area is very modern but with comfortable seating. We managed to seat 7 on a soft sofa/banquette arrangement around a round table. The main business is the food: fantastic, in a word. I've eaten in some good restaurants.The food here was beautifully presented (but not stupidly arty farty) and worth trying each component part and then combining them, as the tastes are fantastic.Please note that some activists are moaning about the use of foie gras in this restaurant. I may get trolled for this, but it was delicious. We had mostly fish/veg dishes and everyone was well satisfied.The price is what you would expect for a special occasion in a fabulous location.

Both Sushi Samba on 38th floor and Duck and Waffle on 40th are well worth the trip top..for cocktails. Expensive, but after all you are paying for the views, and they are indeed wonderful. The bar area is not large, so go around 5-7pm for cocktails.Just the experience in the glass lift seconds... it unbelievable

The sunken table area is quite cool downstairs but we sat at a normal table. The atmosphere was super off with it being dead quiet with no music. Just an awkward atmosphere. The salmon sashimi was really good, super fresh! I had a rice bowl with steak as my main and it was just okay- it was pretty bland and could’ve done with a sauce, there was just so so much pickled ginger as well, it would’ve been nice to have some other veg. The waitress was amazing, super lovely and she was concerned when we left loads of food at the end but we were just so full!
