Le Pont de la Tour in Southwark - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Delicious and cute spot for French fare. The mussels, the Comte, the sea bass and the ratatouille are really yummy. Nice cocktails, and a beautiful view from the tables outside. Service was generally good, albeit they forgot our drinks once and our dessert. Nonetheless definitely would recommend and hope to be back!

Lovely service and view of the Tower Bridge. Unfortunately the menu online was completely different to the one given in person. The duck leg and liver terrine which was bland, dry, and unfortunate. If the liver was mixed with smaller pieces of duck leg throughout the terrine it would have had more of the delicious liver flavour and texture. The blini dish was good aside from the blini itself, as it was bland of any sweet or salty flavour.

We wanted to enjoy our dinner at leisure, but the dishes were rushed through in no time, despite repeatedly indicating. This was somehow not really understood by the serving staff, who were friendly though. And that was a shame, because the dishes were really delicious.

Fantastic food and location, always love it and we live right by it, however the service this afternoon was not great, the starters were left on the side for 10 minutes with flys landing on it, it was an empty restaurant and the staff were chatting rather than serving our full bottle of wine into our empty glasses

Absolutely stunning, the service was impeccable and the food was outstanding, possibly the best I’ve had in a long time . However it was expensive but because of the location and the type of restaurant, it was expected but overall 5* and would definitely return again

Amazing restaurant , perfect location . We selected from the pixe fixe menu which was superb and a great choice to suit all our tastes . Service was also outstanding . We totally enjoyed our lunch . Would definitely recommend. Has outdoor seating which was wonderful , perfect for sunny afternoons and warm evening , with a view of The Tower Bridge along the river . We all totally enjoyed our lunch the food was exceptional

Wonderful. , perfect location . Food was outstanding , we selected the fixe pixe Menu which had a lovely choice on the menu. Service was excellent. Overall outstanding. Would definitely recommend.

Took advantage of the special Evening Standard menu offer at the Le Pont de Ia Tour “Bistrot “ small but varied menu with some tasty food being presented. Very good wines and some delicious cocktails. We were blessed with great weather so sat outside overlooking Tower Bridge. Staff were pleasant and very helpful. A second visit during Sumer 24, the standard of both food,wine and service was excellent. An excellent lunch with lovely views of the Thames and Tower Bridge.

Service and staff were very good food was first class will definately return probrably best restaurant ive been to

We love this restaurant and chose it for a special celebration when three of our grandchildren completed their studies. The restaurant picked up on the reason for our visit and acknowledged it, making the meal feel extra special. I was very pleased we had decided on le pont de la tour for this occasion. Excellent food and service as usual, sat in the sunshine with a perfect view of Tower bridge. What more could you want?

Disappointing! It started with the menus, whichever even on the website are blurry and impossible to read! The main course we both wanted was unavailable and waiter did not mention it at the start. Oysters were opened by a blind man and awfully presented, I ordered a medium rare steak and got a medium/well done one, which meant everyone had to wait for it to be recooked. It came back overdone again and lacked seasoning. It was a nice piece of meat so tasted OK but for £40 I expected it to be better cooked. This place will always draw crowds due to location and waiters did their best but for over £100 per head, I will not be coming back.

Lovely setting, outdoor table,amazing food. Service not quite as on point as previous visits.

I came here almost 12 months ago and was delighted with the service and food but this visit was the exact opposite and it’s pretty clear that there has been a change of staff/management Service was slow, inattentive and barely any interaction. We ordered a seafood platter for two and at £90 I expected more. But everything was terribly salty including a ‘side’ of moules mariniere The table opposite is sent their steak back twice- how hard can it be to cook a steak medium rare! Poor. Won’t be going there again.

Not the cheapest but the service was amazing and we had a lovely group meal

It was a long wait for food even though they weren't busy. Staff were friendly but slow never came to check if food was good. Didn't enjoy my main at all but no one around to complain to. I had guinea fowl which was dry only they veg weren't dry, may have been better with more of the sauce but no one to ask. Will not be going back.

Amazing support and care for some tricky dietary needs. Food was great. We had a glorious time - thank you.

Look elsewhere for a fun evening with friends or family..... After 32 years in the city, I can say that Le Pont de la Tour used to without a doubt the best restaurant in the city. World famous for its impeccable service and food ..... times have changed..... On Tuesday evening we were unfortunate enough to witness first hand some truly appalling management at the Le Pont de la Tour. Whilst considering the menu and enjoying some pre dinner cocktails in the warm summer sun, we were approached by who we later discovered was the Restaurant Manager, but instead of the nice warm welcome you would expect, my guests received a dressing down being told to keep the noise down as we were "laughing" too loudly. An experience that made us all feel so unwelcome and uncomfortable that we decided to take our leave. If you are looking for stuffy out of date dinning in near silence, then this may be for you, but if you want to have a lovely evening with fun and laughter, I would suggest going elsewhere (the Chop House next door is great, it certainly where we ended up having a wonderful evening)

Very nice view. Eating on the terrace with a view of Tower Bridge is a very good plan. The food is good .

Perfect service, food and location for a birthday dinner. Merci!

Tasty food and nice restaurant but drink service wasn’t great, was brought the wrong one a few times, we were some of my friends. Can’t fault the food though!

The food and decor here was great and you get a nice view of tower bridge. However, the service was not what you’d expect for the type of establishment. Everyone who served us seemed a bit confused / disorganised although it wasn’t particularly busy - maybe new staff. Anyway, would return for the ambience and food anyway.

Bonsoir Londres 🇬🇧 Weekend is the time for a luxurious riverside dining experience with iconic views, Le Pont de la Tour combines traditional yet innovative French cuisine, knowledgeable and friendly staff, thoughtful design that evokes the Parisian chic of the 1930s and stunning views of the City and Tower Bridge. As a part of the revitalised Butler’s Wharf, Le Pont de la Tour carries on the legacy of Sir Terence Conran, whose transformative vision shaped this stretch of the River Thames. From 1985 through 1997, Conran and Partners master-planned Butler’s Wharf, turning rundown docks into a vibrant mix of lofts, offices, and iconic restaurants – including Le Pont de la Tour within the Design Museum he founded.

A good French Cuisine Dining experience. The spot by the river and Tower Bridge is nice. The atmosphere is cozy and al a cart menu, nice with variety. The wine list has many choices from different countries, the staff were happy to help, describing the flavour and what is best for your menu choices.

We decided to order a deluxe seafood platter along with some drinks. However, I was deeply disappointed with both the service and the quality of the seafood. To begin with, when the seafood platter was brought to our table, the waiter accidentally dropped a prawn on my bag. Despite this mishap, the waiter did not offer to replace the prawn or take any corrective action. This lack of attentiveness was disheartening. Furthermore, as I started eating, I noticed that one of the mussels had an extremely unpleasant odor, reminiscent of a dead fish. Concerned about the quality of the seafood, I brought this issue to the attention of the manager. Astonishingly, the manager insisted that the mussel was fresh, dismissing my concern entirely. This response struck me as ridiculous, especially considering the amount of money I had paid for the meal, which amounted to $200. Having traveled extensively and dined in various establishments worldwide, I have never encountered such poor service and low-quality food. It is regrettable that I am left with the impression that the discrimination against my Chinese background influenced the treatment I received. But i would like to stated that i came from Hong Kong.

View was amazing, our waitress was great, but our croque monsieur was only 1/2 a sandwich (so a whole sandwich between 2 of us at £18), it was dry and hard. I can make better croque monsieur myself.

Exquisite French restaurant on the Thames. I let the staff order for me and suggest wines. It was terrific to let go, slow down and enjoy life at the Le Point de la Tour. Thanks to the ace Suzanne Moore for meeting me there and showing me the best of London!

Fantastic location for a romantic dinner with beautiful views. Great service and very tasty selection on the menu. We will definitely be back.

Food was ok- nothing particularly amazing. Pre paid for the 4 course lunch menu with 4 tasting wines, we paid £240 for the food and we left feeling hungry and unsatisfied. My daughter had also prepaid for this birthday lunch and now they are arguing on whether they have received payment when one staff member confirmed via a phone call that they could see the amount of £240 had been prepaid and settled.

Perfect View, amazing moment, and a spécial mention for andrea an amazing professional

Thank youuuuu so much Monsieur Andrea for this moment ! The food was Magic. Thank you for this incredible service. I spent a Great moment !!! MERCIIIII BEAUCOUP !

The food was great overall, though the potatoes could've been better. The place had a stunning view and the wine was delicious. But, there was a major issue with the attitude of the short French waiter. He assumed we couldn't pay our bill and treated us condescendingly. It made the whole vibe uncomfortable, like we weren't welcome. Plus, we got served food we didn't order, which was taken back but still ended up on our bill. I paid without double-checking, but my partner noticed later. When we pointed it out, the waiter said we couldn't get an immediate refund, which wasn't true. His attitude totally ruined what should've been a lovely meal by the river. I felt judged, looked down on, and robbed. I will add that all the other waiting staff were very professional and nice. It was only the short French man who had a better than attitude. It's almost a week on and I still have not received my refund. This place is a joke. Even McDonalds can mange that. Don't waste your money here

The view is magnificent (of course) but the service is what really made the night! I had forgotten how much that attention to detail I would expect in the US elevates the dining experience. Just great!

Disappointing. We sat outside, and the setting over looking Tower Bridge is fantastic. However the service was slow and really patchy. My father had the roast beef which was okay, but the Cod that my mother and I had was on the plain side. All the food came on cold plates so was already luke-warm when it got to the table and got cold fast. To be fair, after we complained and took the service charge off the bill, the Maître d' was profuse in his apologies.

The view is lovely, food was good and the venue was quiet during lunch on a Wednesday, yet the wait staff gave us the wrong bill twice before we received our correct bill. It felt like it was an effort for them to deal with us.

My husband booked outdoor seating (which is the main draw of this restaurant) weeks in advance. This is so we could enjoy views of the Tower Bridge specifically. On the day, we were escorted to a cramped corner of the indoor restaurant near overlooking a tinted mirror and concrete plateau. We were informed the weather was too bad to serve food outside, yet there was also a party outdoors for drinks that same evening. Fair enough, but it’s in good practice to notify guests in advance of big changes to their reservation to avoid disappointment. Staff were polite and apologetic, but there were no attempts at resolving the problem. It put a damper on our Friday evening and we ended up leaving.

Really unprofessional people. Booked well in advanced a table for two outdoor for a date night which was very special for me. I confirmed my booking 24 hours before again to make sure everything is lined up. However, when I turned up I found out that my table is not reserved outdoor any more. There was a big group instead who took all the tables outside. The silly excuse they gave me is that the weather is not right. However for the other party weather was alright to drink outside. They wasted so much of my time. It ruined my Friday date night and they didn’t even offer any alternate solution. The question is if as a customer you cancel the booking they charge you a fee but when they do it they don’t give a damn. Never ever again! They are unprofessional and unreliable.

Come here to celebrate 25th Birthday. The service is so perfect. Staff is very detailed and attentive. This restaurant gives fine dining vibes. Portion might be small. But I highly recommend for special occasions. You must order Crepes Suzette. I was awed with how cool it is. Shout out to Salar and chef Kiran who made our night so special. Thank you 😊.

Lovely food if a little parsimonious. Attentive staff. Sadly it was so cold that 4 of our party couldn't stay until dessert. Drinks very expensive

Gave this restaurant five stars on previous occasion but return visit today and it sadly seems to have gone downhill a bit. Food very average - chicken salad bland and uninspiring steak tough chewy and small. Slow service. Disappointing.

Very good experience and perfect service and attention from the staff (Salar in particular), will definitely come back!

Everything is extraordinary here - from food to view. Would definitely visit it again and again.

We had a fabulous meal. There were four of us. We first went to the bar to have a cocktail and oysters. Bartender Vanessa was delightful and made great cocktails. Then we went to the dining room. Had a great meal. One of my sons described his duck as the best he had tasted. My Dover Sole was exceptional. For desert we had Crepe Suzette, which was perfect. We left happy after a great meal. One word of caution: you get what you pay for and this fabulous meal was incredibly expensive.

Excellent service Brilliant food Outstanding view Unique Location

I had the pleasure of experiencing the amazing service at Le Pont de la Tour recently, and I must say it was truly exceptional. Vanessa, the Bar Supervisor, went above and beyond to ensure our experience was nothing short of perfect. The food was exquisite, and the atmosphere added an extra layer of charm to the evening. A heartfelt thank you to Vanessa for creating such a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!

The service was 100% amazing loved the restaurant however our food tended to get cold very quickly and had to ask to re-heat our food. However the staff were very polite and had no issues with heating our food up again. The atmosphere was very pleasant and warm. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. We were offered some warm bread 🥖 and butter to start us off with. All the food was very delicious and scrumptious. The food portion may look small but very filling.

Attentive waiters and good priced set meal. Small portions though and no vegetables.

Excellent restaurant for lunch with stunning views along the Thames. Fine food and superb service.

Had a lovely meal here on Sunday, looking out onto the Thames for our anniversay. The views were amazing! All the staff who served us were lovely, and Salar, who was our waiter, did a fantastic job - he was attentive without being intrusive. The food was absolutely delicious and looked amazing - would recommend the cheeseboard with port! It was quite quiet when we visited, but can imagine it could get very busy - we'd definitely visit again!

We were a table of 10 celebrating a 50th. Was an early February, Monday lunchtime and only 2 other tables were occupied. Food and drinks were great, when they turned up. Honestly ylthe worst service I've had in FOREVER. Asked for it to be removed from the bill, think I've only ever done that twice in my whole life, it was that bad. Such a shame, its a great spot, but most of us said we wouldn't return on the back of that experience. Especially considering how much money we spent.

The restaurant is well located although food was merely adequate. The waiter was exceptionally good and we had a great time. Well worth a visit.

Very friendly staff , Salar was taking care of our table and he was kind and helpful. We loved the view on Tower Bridge and the style inside the restaurant. We were celebrating friends birthday and she received a complimentary cake with candle. We were also a bit late but the staff was kind enough to hold our table. The food was very good , wine tasty but a bit expensive.

Visited on a very quiet Saturday lunchtime. Food excellent, prix fixe menu great value.

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at LE Pont De La Tour near London Bridge and it was an exceptional experience. The warm blini with London cured smoked salmon and fromage blanc was a delightful start to the meal, setting the tone for what was to come. The Roast loin of Cornish cod bourguignon with trompette mushrooms, garlic pommes puree, and sauce lie de vin was simply exquisite, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The meal reached its peak with the hot chocolate fondant paired with coconut ice cream, a heavenly combination that left a lasting impression. The attentive service and the stunning views of the Thames only added to the overall delightful ambiance. I would highly recommend LE Pont De La Tour for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in London." The staff at LE Pont De La Tour exuded a remarkable level of professionalism, from the warm welcome to the attentive service throughout the evening. Their knowledge of the menu and their ability to make recommendations added to the overall dining experience. The restaurant itself was a sight to behold, exuding elegance and charm in its decor and layout. The view of the London Bridge was simply breathtaking, providing a stunning backdrop that enhanced the entire dining experience, making it a truly memorable evening.

Beautiful views on terrace. Sommelier is awesome - team was helpful and kind. Sole Gnocchi Tuna

Good restaurant but very expensive for the service and food. My wife and I visited London and Scotland and we went to several restaurants, this was the least impressive and the one that had X service. It was not surprising and when I go to a restaurant with these prices I expect to be surprised.

Terrible service for a business dinner. Informed there was an issue with the kitchen so we expected slow service but it was embarrassing to be sat there for 5 hours and every time we tried to flag down the staff they blatantly ignored us and turned their heads. We were nothing but polite and spent a fortune and it made for a funny story but it was shocking how they went out of their way to ignore us trying to order our food and pay the bill, when we where the only ones in there and there was a lot of staff. Amusing to say the least but sadly what was once a venue we used regularly is now on the "do not use" list due to the bizarre service.

I have been eating here for years and it always delivers a special experience. It is curious to eat in the Gherkin as a contrast, then compare locations as you make each other out.

Wonderful view & the service and food were amazing.

Overall a great experience with incredible food but some of the senior waiting staff were extremely stuck up and borderline rude. Would go back regardless.

One of your waiters has a serious attitude problem, shouting at customers and colleagues and generally being unprofessional. Good drinks though, even if they took 20 minutes to arrive, not quite the Christmas vibe I was expecting.

My daughter booked this as part of my Birthday celebrations. This is an absolute gem of a restaurant. The food and service was a throughly enjoyable experience. We asked for a table to look over the bridge, we couldn’t have been better placed to see this. They even presented me with a small slice of birthday cake as well. Lovely place- will definitely be back

Despite a number of dishes being unavailable, what we had was delicious, and the attentive service was great.

Took a table here for eight yesterday evening. Food across the board was pretty average as was the service with the exception of one or two dishes and one waiter. We ordered desserts and nothing turned up other than a message to say “sorry the pastry chef has left for the night” so no deserts materialised. Never heard of this before, apparently she just walked out. That’s a first for me!. I can understand I a small out of town restaurant, but that was poor for London by any accounts. Wouldn’t rush back as not good value. Venue is great as is location

Beautiful setting. Wonderful food. Excellent presentation. Second time guest. I wish the demeanor of the staff matched the quality of the food/drinks. I felt I was annoying them the two times I requested something. More often than not, I felt like a burden being there. I did manage to conjure a smile out of one of them, so that was a plus!

Just avoid this place. Choose somewhere else. Food was, at best, bland and small portioned, at worst undercooked and inedible. The drinks menu looked good, although in practice, due to unavailability, the selection was smaller and sub-standard. Service was poor, being a bit sparse, and with mixed options from waiting staff. When we did get staff, we'd get different answers from different staff, which was very confusing. Atmosphere was ok, although seats were low with no cushioning; we just sank into them. The guests were herded in like sardines.

Pleasant very quiet…bread tasty potions very small ;((

Tasty food, served in a beautiful setting, with friendly, helpful staff... However I cant give 5 stars to a restaurant with a mouse running around the floor, which we saw on two occasions, and when reported, we were told there was nothing they could do. That may be the case but not what you expect from a high class restaurant paying £130 a head

Great place to visit right next to the Thames and opposite the Tower of London, very good food, excellent service, also the pre theatre menu is very good value

Great food & excellent staff ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Went there to celebrate a final date night before getting married. The restaurant is a real gem right by the Tower Bridge and the views are simply stunning! The food is exceptionally well done and the service is at par with the food. The chef must really love what he does since it shows up in your plates.

Wonderful place with excellent staff with great views & food!!!!!!!

Beautiful setting, great service, terrific food. We ate here for dinner and enjoyed the quiet restaurant— even with families with children and a party with a lot of happy noise and laughter, the room is appointed so that there is wonderful calm. We do enjoyed mussels, onion soup and steak frites— all beautifully seasoned. Our mistake was to eat lunch— we really wished to try the desserts. But we will be back— next time for lunch to look at the river view in daylight. It was lovely at night!

I recently stopped by this charming establishment for a cocktail, and I must say it was an exquisite experience. The peaceful atmosphere, combined with the incredible view, made it a truly memorable visit. Daniel, our server, was an absolute legend, ensuring that we had a wonderful time. I love this place and can't wait to return!

Lovely dinner in a nice comfortable setting. Formal, but just right. The food was excellent as was the wine. Riccardo, the sommelier, was very friendly and engaging. The staff always there at the right time but never intrusive.

This is a very good restaurant by the river which has a lot of seating outside as well as significant accommodation inside the restaurant.. the service was efficient without being intrusive and the pace of the meal was just right. Friendly staff who served delicious food.

Horrible place I was working for the company always I was needed to fight to have my money always they try to give less money at the people how working hard for them Is the most Horrible company in london.

We had the prix fixe lunch, it was totally amazing, mushroom veloute soup was wonderful. We then had the chicken for the main course, the chicken was so tender and the whole dish was perfection. We had a glass of the house wine which was also delicious, we finished with a chocolate fondant and crème caramel both we beautifully presented and tasted divine. The service and overall ambiance was perfect, we can’t wait to return. Thank you La Pont de La Tour for a wonderful experience.

Naar jaarlijkse gewoonte bij ons bezoek in London, nu met 2 ex-collega’s, terug genoten van het diner in de vertrouwde omgeving met zicht op Tower Bridge . Alles terug perfect ook genoten van de witte wijn Hugel Riquewir en de rode uit Turckheim…

Loved the food it was expensive but worth it. Just greet food and great service.

A fantastic meal in our favourite restaurant. So pleased that Lie Pont de la tour is back on track. It was quite busy enough for a Monday lunch time and everything was perfect. We tried bream - even the menu has had an update - although they still have all the old favourites. Staff were friendly and efficient, food and wine excellent - and of course the view of Tower Bridge doesn’t change Just walk a few hundred yards beyond Tower Bridge to escape the chaos and enjoy the peace

Visited with my friend prior to a theatre matinee. Amazing views of Tower Bridge in action. The food was excellent- particularly the chilled almond soup, which was fabulous. Professional, friendly service with good value for money (fixed menu). Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic restaurant, very friendly staff, our Plateau de Fruit de Mer Deluxe was amazing and the view over Tower Bridge is priceless. Probably the best lunch we had in London so far!!! And we live here….

Hermoso lugar con vista al Tower Bridge, muy buena la atención, la comida rica pero una estafa. Fuimos en familia y pedimos varios platos. El plato de ñoquis tenía 5 unidades... rico pero nada de otro mundo, el resto decoración. Un robo.

We booked a table for two for lunch and as the weather was lovely they offered us a table outside on the terrace. Great service from all the staff that we met. We had the set lunch and a bottle of Provence Rose. Food was perfect especially the chocolate fondant. Service was perfect. Toilets really clean and well maintained. We stayed for over three hours and were fortunate to see Tower Bridge being raised. Excellent location

What a disappointment! I’ve had drinks here many times and always enjoyed the experience but I went for dinner here last Saturday and will not be returning in a hurry. A gorgeous location, but the food was horrendous, seriously overpriced and the service was sloppy. What has happened to this gorgeous restaurant?!! I had lobster which was dry and over cooked - I would have sent it back if it had been my turn to pay! My partner had rabbit which was equally disappointing. I would say they are sadly trading solely on their name and location. I’d avoid for dinner.

The view was so nice. Our waiter was lovely and very attentive. Our table didn't have heaters but they did provide blankets. We didn't notice them through till we left lol. The food was really good. Getting seated and getting the bill was a bit difficult but they were busy, so understandable.

Beautiful food served by attentive staff set with gorgeous views across the Thames and of Tower Bridge. We celebrated my birthday here this past weekend and the whole meal was incredibly. The staff even prepared a little happy birthday plate for dessert. Would highly recommend. The fixed price menu is also incredibly good value for central London.

We were lucky enough to have our 40th anniversary dinner at Le Pont de la Tour. They certainly went out of their way to make it a special night for us. The setting was perfect, dining Al fresco under the Tower Bridge, the food was outstanding, especially the Dover Sole, and roasted halibut. The service was incredible, very attentive, yet not overbearing. The sommelier (also front-end manager?) was such a nice person, giving us some tips on wine, excellent conversation, overall making us feel special on this special night. Thanks Le Pont de la Tour!

At the start of a four week ocean tour starting in London we decided to try Le Pont de La Tour again to see if it was as wonderful as it was our first time in March 2023. It was marvelous. It was a beautiful Sunday, we ate outside with a view of Tower Bridge and people strolling by. Service was excellent and the food was even better than we remembered. Very easy to get to from our ship and back. Lovely area of London.

Over priced and unimaginative food. We had two of the fish dishes that were both overcooked, the pickled courgette salad contained a few slices of courgette and overdominated by crème fraiche. We skipped dessert because the other dishes were so poor.

I came here for my Grandma's birthday and I have to recognise the exemplary service, the lovely location on the thames, and the great price for the pre theatre 5-7pm menu. However, the food was not up to the standard I expected. I had the courgette salad which was nicely vinegared but had too much cream cheese. My main dish of gnocchi with lemon. The gnocchi was fresh but a little tasteless and the lemon was very lemon curd like and didn't match the gnocchi. I did enjoy my chocolate fondant a lot for dessert, it was gooey and rich paired well with the hazelnut ice cream. Overall, this is a nice restaurant, but i feel food could be improved.

I wish I could give a zero, but I can’t as the platform doesn’t have such option. The restaurant is situated in a gorgeous setting, but that is all it has to offer. The service was disappointing. My partner had to ask for the wine menu about 5 times and no one brought it to us. The sommelier was non existent. One of the starters we had was undercooked (beef tartare). Don’t waste your money if you want an impeccable service and a pleasant experience. I am a fine dining lover and this was not great.

El lugar es espectacular, pero la comida no está a la altura. Tomamos un carpaccio muy rico, pero el pescado, un rodaballo, era muy soso, casi “de hospital”. Su precio, en cambio, sí era de restaurante de lujo. Como los vinos, a 17€ la copa. El servicio muy bien, aunque muy estirados, supongo que como exige el local

The restaurant is in great location. Good service, the food was a little skimpy in volume, but very tasty.

With stunning views and access to great ingredients this should have been an easy success. Sadly (especially with a bill of over £100) it did not meet expectations. Servers always managed to avoid our eyeline so glasses were frequently left empty. Despite asking food to come together it did not and when one of our groups main did arrive it lacked flavour and seasoning. The only reason that this score is not lower is because in the last 5 minutes of our stay they began to put in an effort and they kindly removed the main from the bill.

Halibut was drier than the desert, but fish and chips were pretty good. The three stars are for the absolute killer view and awesome service. I also still do not know how they managed to make a bitter apple tart and caramel.

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch last week, thank you. We will rerurn!

This is the second time I’ve been here and each time has been magical. This time we were sitting outside and had an incredible view of the Thames and Tower Bridge. The food was absolutely delicious and served quickly and the waiters were lovely. The entrees, main, sides and deserts were really good and the bread was warm. It’s on the more expensive side so I recommend it for an occasion in a heartbeat.

We have been coming to this restaurant for at least 25 years. It was our favourite place - always good and such a perfect spot. Even in the winter we sit outside - We arrived for lunch and the lady at the desk informed us it was raining and tried to persuade us inside - it wasn’t - having made it clear we were not going inside she then tried to make us sit where we didn’t want to sit - and then that we sat at a small table for two - when the whole place was empty. So we moved - and at last we were seated where we wanted to be. This all put me in a bad humour - but our waiter was good and we relaxed. The wine was excellent and the seafood cocktail ok, but the Dover sole was appalling. Thin, dry and tasteless. We had tired of complaining so we ate it and left. The price of the Dover sole was an extortionate £59 - we thought twice at that price but it is what we usually order at this restaurant. We will probably give it one more try - but this meal was a disgrace. I am giving it 2 as the waiter really tried his best and was charming - the lady on the desk was objectionable and the main course almost inedible - although the fries were good
