Enzo MartinelliMay 20, 2018I got a very enjoyable birthday dinner there and a little surprise from the kitchen
Chris EasonMay 25, 2014The breakfast menu at the weekend (and Bank Holidays) is extremely limited. The full breakfast menu is only available on working days.
WinstonSeptember 22, 2013Had a great time, service was good and we had a round of free cocktails, thanks
Chris R (thechristophe)September 9, 2017Great (free) view. Grab a drink at the bar, you don't have to have dinner.
Simone MaccaferriAugust 15, 2016Pricey for dinner, but very high quality meal matched by a gorgeous view
James GillAugust 13, 2014Incredible view and amazing food. A truly special spot for the most important, significant occasions.
Cihan AvciJuly 12, 2015The view and the coctails are spectacular! Service was a bit slow. They probably need more waiters especially for weekends.
Inna KovaljovaJanuary 11, 2015Bar is overcrowded with tourists crashing the place straight after their shopping sessions (read: carrying 10 Primark bags in one hand while trying to sip a cocktail with another). Superslow service.
Sera KoçFebruary 22, 2015it makes you feel like you are really in London! amazing view and atmosphere..
OnwahNovember 24, 2013Went for lunch. Atmosphere was great, view is amazing. Food was rich and left me satisfyingly full.
Stella NadrugilovAugust 28, 2013It was marvellous!! The food, view and service. I will definitely come back
Clara EloyAugust 26, 2022For a drink it’s nice, even though the cocktails are basic and quite pricey.
Elena SMay 12, 2016Great views, go on a weeknight if you want a window seat. Do not wear trainers, there's a dress code
Mike BroscheApril 5, 2019Great views even from the male toilets, fixed menu is a bit restrictive but food is good
YesimAugust 2, 2015We had asked for a table by the window when we made the reservation weeks ago. They did not care to take into consideration. The table is in the third row. Menu is very very limited.
Richard ParkesDecember 28, 2013Was going to say over priced and poor service. Then I has the Battenburg martini and all was forgiven. And the wine can be under £30 a bottle which is pretty good!
Gozde AcarJanuary 31, 2016One of the best views that I have seen. City lights are being good accompanier while drinking your scotch and soda.
Abdulrahman AlazemAugust 20, 2014The grilled halibut was very good & you cannot beat the amazing views
Latifa AZDISeptember 3, 2014Make sure to meet your friends outside. It's a maze inside this place + dark!
Arguably the best bar-restaurant in Europe, view- and cocktail-wise.
Lambros AravanisFebruary 11, 2019Brought me a different drink (19eur) from what I originally ordered(9eur), and I just paid the full prize. Nothing to this restaurant other than the view.
Steve KAugust 26, 2013Tables by the windows are great but they all have good views in any case. Service is average.
Alex BrooksAugust 31, 2015I love a cocktail as much as any man but these are pretentious, unnecessary, and crazy expensive. The cocktails are so ornate that getting served takes forever. Too busy, service bad.
Megan LuffAugust 6, 2017Went for Xmas eve lunch - absolutely lovely. Check out their crazy bathrooms too!!!
Alix De GrezMarch 12, 2014Arrived early for breakfast and enjoy the silence and the view. Really relaxing before a big day!
Manca ŠaleharDecember 28, 2014Do not try shrimps from starters menu. Its disgusting. Duck for main course was great. But they were out of suffle. Amazing view but overall experience was such a disappointment!
Lins DrabwellAugust 14, 2013Make a reservation for a table by the window. And a tea-based cocktail is a must!
Josephine Vanda TirtayaniSeptember 23, 2014You can ask for extra sandwiches for free when having afternoon tea
food is amazballz, drinks are good and staff is super cool... Especially John...
Gurmukh PanesarSeptember 4, 2013The only selling point about this bar is the view. Cocktails are average, overpriced. Staff need better training as at times they were unprofessional. Good to visit once. Reservations not needed.
Nick WoodAugust 29, 2015Slowest service - slow to take an order, asked for the bill 3 times - hardly impressive
Michael AnthonyApril 21, 2018Come for the view. Stay for the drinks (but order fast bc service is slow
Sadie YJuly 22, 2014Lovely views. Good service. A shame the chicken was undercooked. They handled it well though.
Vasco ViciniJanuary 18, 2017Stunning place.Unfortunately the service is poor and disorganised. On two separate occasions, they brought wrong orders after long waits, e.g. Yesterday 45-minute wait for the wrong bottle of wine.
