The best restaurants serving British food in Aldgate, Billingsgate, Bishopsgate, Bridge, Broad Street, Candlewick, Cornhill, Langbourn, Lime Street, Portsoken, Tower City of London, Westminster London

I was always a local to this bar and spent many happy evenings here - that was 10 years ago before I left the UK - my leaving do was held here - so it has many memories - what a joy to come back to tonight - the staff may have changed but the ambiance and warm welcoming remains the same - the music is updated but still in keeping - there are not many places in the world where you can find perfection - here you can - nothing falters and I am now just eating the best food - Thank you all dxx

The wine selection is very pleasing. Excellent atmosphere and the staff are always willing and attentive.

Never again 8 of us went for a meal I hah to ask for mine again as my friends had finished there meal

Vertigo 42 has appeared on Groupon a few times for discounted tickets. Ive visited twice. Nice cocktails and snacks, great views over London. You'll be seated at a window view but you were aloud to walk around, not sure if you'll still be able to after Covid.

Enjoyed the food, but didn't like the service. A woman at the door - blond long hair, I think - stared at us as if we were travelling salesmen, before letting out a reluctant greeting ("hmm, yeah... hi") and cursorily showing us towards empty tables. Perhaps we should have taken the cue and left there and then. But we were too tired to walk further away from our hotel upstairs so we sat down. The aforesaid woman must have communicated very poorly if at all to her colleagues about our arrival because we had to sit at our table for several minutes without even a menu with us, before we had to proactively ask for the menu. The waiter who received our orders was kind enough, although he never asked us if we meant tap water when we ordered water, and charged us for a bottle - upon leaving only did I notice there were lines of bottled up tap water ready to be served. If they want to call it some sort of an "upselling" technique, they should realise it is a very cheap trick and only leaves bad impressions. No one checked if we liked the food while we were eating either, although towards the end of the meal a waitress eventually noticed that my partner's beer glass was empty and asked if he wanted another one. He wasn't going to order a refill if nobody asked, so kudos for them for getting this one on the bill as well, ha! When we left none of the women at the door gave us any goodbyes which confirmed my uneasy feeling at entrance. The fish and chips and falafel salad were full of flavor and the ingredients seemed very fresh. The portions sizes are quite big and the prices are similar to the other restaurants in the area. However, if you want an overall pleasant experience, please go elsewhere. Edit) Since the response from the establishment found it "offensive" to read my remark about deterring Asian customers from visiting this place, I deleted the sentence. Although there are things such as organizational culture and doctrins, we as himan beings in a social setting do not always act and think according to them even when we are part of certain organization. Rather, we see that many people prefer (or unconsciously choose) to act according to personal beliefs and whims, which cannot be entirely controlled by the organization, nor it shoulf be. Aside from the differences in observations I will just say this in place of my deleted sentence: Regardless of the customers' races or nationalities, I wish the restaurant could show sympathy and good manners in its service, starting from the moment the customer enters and ending at the moment the restaurant checks the review a month after the visit.

definitely recommend — great cocktails, impeccable service and cozy atmosphere. our waiter was very attentive and the service was very fast and friendly. it’s so often that you get uninteresting watered-down cocktails in london but this place had so many options and every one we tried we loved!

I mistakenly thought breakfast was included as it wasn't offered during check-in. It wasn't a big deal, they said I could charge it to the room. We didn't have service, as it was a serve yourself buffet. We had some pastries, fruit, and tried some scrambled eggs. The fruit was good. Pastries were okay. The hot food was not our style. All in all, we were happy to have the fruit and coffee but not the $68 bill for food. We should have asked the price of the food before hand and that's on us. The restaurant itself was a nice location.

We booked this as we received a virgin experience, so had the 5 course set menu, the staff were great but should be as £20 service charge automatically added to bill!! The food was OK, starters fine, i asked for the steak medium rare but came out medium, desert did not blow my socks off either. All just OK, `Be warned everything is extra, eg water with the meal, chips with the steak!! We wanted it to be special so did have what we wanted. Expect a meal for 2 with 2 sides and a couple of drinks each £200

Enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast and a lovely view. The staff provided nice service as well.

Thomas is the best manager! Honestly a 5 star service all night with so much good energy and vibes. 100% recommended this place for anyone who’s interested in a fun time with great friendly service !

The OTW has a great atmosphere, sun trap in the court yard, darts, good menu, great choice of beers with friendly charming staff.

Great place, very cozy and delicious steak pie

We had tickets for the 2 course Saturday tickets at £69 each. I had visited 14 years ago when the food and show were incredible so expected the same. Food- we had to preorder our meals so when the choices came through I was shocked to see 1 choice with a veggie option and no choice appetiser. appetiser consisted of tomatoes chopped up in a bowl with a lump of mozzarella and mustard dressing on top. Main was chicken orcauliflower kebab Whick was bland and cold. We would of left entirely if we weren't so hungry. Show- 5 performers, host was funny and entertaining, thought himself a great singer, he was good, bit like a butlins redcoat. The girls were good dancers but no 'show' no burlesque, I was expecting champagne glasses, fan dances etc. They basically had Ann summers out fits on that they took off to reveal they had glittery stickers on their nipples and danced round a chair. and then got off the stage. Think they needed some more training. The more talented dancer did more vintage performing but one was literally squirting cream on some guy out the audience. Then the fire/ clown guy set a dancers crotch on fire and laid on some 'glass' it was a bit awkward when he couldn't get the dove out of his pocket. Bill- we paid £279 for tickets. We had 8 cocktails, 4 beers- not much for being there 3 hours. and 2 extra appetisers as the 'meal' was so bad. Our bill on the night was £250. So all in all we paid over £500 for a mediocre night. All in all pretty dissapointing.

Booked an afternoon tea for a friend’s special birthday. I filled out the form on the website and got an email response saying the Wine Lounge wasn’t available but the Eastway Brasserie was available. We had a wonderful visit on Sunday afternoon. Attentive service, lovely teapot and cups and great food. I had also pre specified dietary requirements as part of my email exchange (vegetarian, gluten free and lactose free) and they took all of that into account in the food served.

Lovely tasty food- fresh and seasonal Great location Lots of staff Clean toilets Unfortunately the staff were not as attentive as one would have hoped hence the request to remove the service charge. When places such as this appear to have a lot of staff milling around it’s really unfortunate that they were not attentive towards us and that reminders for drinks had to be requested. As such we moved onto another venue where we were able to continue our drinks and pay the full service charge in recognition of good service. @managers if bars and restaurants- If you’re short staff or for whatever reason are not able to show patrons who attend a level of recognition and attention which is expected in high end establishments then please do let us know when we arrive so we can make an informed choice as to whether to stay or not.
