The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in St Katharine's and Wapping Tower Hamlets London

A place where you have to go for lunch or dinner one day. The experience and the site are well worth it.

We visited today with our son, it advertised as a grill offering Sunday lunch. However on arrival we were immediately informed the Sunday lunch wasn’t available. We had one starter of prawns, two fish and chips main meals and one sea bass and salad. We eat out frequently and value good food and service. We should have followed our instincts on arrival since there were only two other tables occupied in the Grill part of the restaurant. The waitress was ok, but not the most hospitable or friendly. The starter which consisted of a few bland looking prawns scattered on a plate, together with three limp looking pieces of tender stem broccoli, cost just under £10 and hardly amounted to value for money. The two fish and chips were just about edible. Small, pale chips, ok fish and some nondescript stuff in a pot which we assumed was tartare sauce. The sea bass was again just about ok, but the salad was plain, no presentation and no thought involved. The best part of the meal was the white wine, very nice. The total bill amounted to £108 with a service charge. Another waitress asked our opinion to which I gave an honest answer and said we definitely wouldn’t be returning. The service charge was removed before we paid. Since we don’t see our son too often, complaining during the meal wasn’t something I was prepared to do. Needless to say we don’t recommend this venue.
