Every vacation, we have one family meal where we splurge. Lunch at Fenchurch SkyGarden was it during our holiday in London. We had made reservations a couple of months in advance, and were seated at an excellent table with panoramic views of London. The drinks were flowing, and we ordered appetizers, entrées and desserts to our hearts' content. To keep this review from becoming overly long, I will focus on the standouts: Appetizers: -- Wild truffle and mushroom Arancini (£9): we ordered a few, they were so good! -- Yellowtail Ceviche, with avocado, green mango, Oscietra caviar and sesame vinaigrette (£24.50): dainty but exquisite! Entrées: -- Five cheese stuffed gnocchi (£32): an all around favorite, so we re-ordered this a couple of times! -- Grilled Lumina Lamb (£45): pricey for the tiny portion size, but perfectly cooked. Desserts: -- Soufflé (£18): this is a must-order dish! -- Petit Fours (£9.50): something for everyone! Total bill was almost £400 (after tax and tip), and service was exceptional. Highly recommended! read more

Salmon ceviche - Impressive. The dressing was extraordinary. Flavor is very sophisticated. Sweet, sour and a bit spicy. Very rich flavor. It's a Japanese fusion dish. Lamb skewers - flavor was excellent. Nicely grilled, sauce was good. Not gamey but part of the lamb was a bit chewy. Indian Sea bass - Nice and crisp. The dressing was well matched. The avocado and bitter lettuce was an interesting combo. The truffle and parmesan cheese potatoes was flavorful. Good truffle flavor. I wonder if it's real truffle shavings or just truffle oil. You be the judge seeing the picture attached. Souffle - It was very well done. Smooth and perfectly baked souffle. The goat milk caught me off guard but the yuzu made up for it. Or citrus if not yuzu. The ice cream cake that came with the souflee was excellent as well. Service was excellent. And you can beat the view and the ambiance read more

This restaurant probably has some of the best views of the city of London. We went around 4 pm, not crowded at all, so had amazing views of the sky garden. Food was great, mix of Caribbean and British flavors . read more

My first experience here was nothing short of amazing. The excellent service started at the security check (yes, you have to go through airport style security first). The guards and ground floor reception were friendly, professional, and made me feel welcomed. Then you take the express elevator to 35, where you exit onto the Sky Garden... and the view is breathtaking!!! I recommend taking a few minutes to take it all in before dinner. Then one more set of elevators takes you to 37, where you arrive at restaurant reception. Once you are seated you are presented with a wine and cocktail menu as well as the meal menu. I highly recommend the Wild Mushroom and Truffle Arancini, definitely the Saffron Risotto, and the Sea Bass. The presentation was amazing and the food itself was just... words can't describe how good it was. Yes, the restaurant is a little on the pricer side, but for the service, the food, and the view, you can't beat it. I also want to thank the restaurant for recognizing my birthday and presenting a little small dessert mini plate after dinner. That small touch really blew me away. read more

Fenchurch is a delightful and unique experience. There is airport-like security at the ground floor, and several elevators to get to the top of SkyGarden. We had a lovely table in the corner with a view of the city and the people enjoying SkyGarden. We tried the tasting menu, which was inventive and tasty. read more

Found this restaurant through a written recommendation on a blog. Decided to give it a try considering it was in the Sky Garden. We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed it for our anniversary dinner. Drinks, food, and dessert; all were exceptional! Small gourmet plates very well presented and delicious. Jessica attended us. She was very professional and courteous. We would definitely visit again if we go back to London. read more

In advance of our trip to London, my wife and I made reservations here after hearing wonderful things about the restaurant and the view. Two floors down from the restaurant is a very popular bar that is difficult to get into unless you have reservations there or at the restaurant. Some of the reasons for my 3 star review pertain to events that were out of the restaurant's hands but still contributed to the overall experience. Upon walking up to the building, a guard asked if we had reservations and then made me pull out my phone to prove it. Inside the door, security guards shouted "take off your jackets" and directed us to put them through the x-ray machine as we walked through a metal detector. He then shouted "take the elevator up." First thought: rather rude. To go to the restaurant you must get off at the bar, which was a little confusing until another security guard pointed to our left and said "take that elevator". After going up two flights, we arrived at the restaurant. The lady who checked us in and took our coats greeted us with "Happy anniversary!" since we made that notation when making the reservation. The ambiance is very nice, not noisy at all, and we were seated at a very nice table. We had selected to order a la carte and the menu was extensive and appealing. We ordered seasonal cocktails and then dinner. I told our waiter what wine we wanted and enjoyed the cocktails. Soon the sommelier came over with the wine list and confirmed our wine order, then brought over the wine and poured it. I only bring this up because when the bill came and I reviewed it, we were being charged for a different bottle that was about $30 more than what we ordered. So I called over our waiter and pointed this out. He came back quickly with a new bill and said that the sommelier had made a mistake. OK, no big deal but I thought the sommelier would have had the style to come over himself and apologize instead of putting it off on the waiter. As we were leaving, I asked our waiter "why does the reservation system ask if it is a special occasion?" He said "so we can make a fuss over the customer." So I said "Then why did I bother pointing out it was our anniversary?" He apologized profusely and offered to get us a glass of champagne and desert but it would have been nice if it had happened at our table. read more

Overall: Food is rather average but the view is unbeatable! Location: Fenchurch's location is unbeatable. The biggest draw for us is that you don't have to wait in line (and the line was quite long, going out the door and wrapping around the block) once you have a dinner reservation. We were able to go straight to the front desk to check in. Everybody arrives on the same floor. Since we had some extra time, we explored the Sky Garden and enjoyed the outdoor balcony view prior to having dinner. We were hoping for a nice sunset however it was a cloudy day. Still, the view was stunning! Food: We ordered two appetizers and two entrees. The presentation was delightful. Portion size is small. The arancini was delicious, everything else was not exactly memorable, unfortunately. - wild mushroom and truffle arancini: crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside! Delicious! - glazed chicken wings in whiskey BBQ: very average. Small wings. Would not order again - pan seared seabass and another seafood entree that I don't quite remember Ambiance & Service: This is the interesting part. We were seated next to a larger table of family with a toddler, and they were playing cartoons on the iPad, LOUDLY! Don't get me wrong. I love kids, but usually parents are pretty cognizant about keeping the volume down or having their kids wear headphones, but this family was not trying to be polite to other diners at all! Sadly, the restaurant staff also didn't do anything about it, and it definitely diminished, if not ruined the dining experience for us. read more

I'm always a bit hesitant with restaurants like this where people come for the view and it's a captive audience, so we opted to order a la carte instead of doing a tasting menu and I'm happy we did. The food was good, but I wasn't blown away. We've eaten at our fair share of high end restaurants all over the world and while Sky Garden's location and view are top notch, the food could have been much better. The presentation was gorgeous (see pics) but unfortunately the presentation exceeded the taste. The steak tartare with the gelatinous egg layer, for example - incredible idea, but poor execution; it made it difficult to eat without a knife and the flavors were very bland for a tartare. The parmesan risotto (which I believe they're known for) was really disappointing - I have no idea how they managed to do it, but it somehow needed salt and the texture was too mushy for a good risotto. The steak was probably my biggest annoyance - it was super rare (which I generally LOVE) but the meat was so tough that it wasn't enjoyable. So what was great at Sky Garden? The fish dish with caviar on top was excellent and the drinks were fantastic. We had several cocktails (Champagne-based and gin-based) and these were worth every penny. The best part about Sky Garden is that if you make reservations, you don't have to wait in the massive line outside to go check out the views. read more

The price for the £75 lunch tasting menu of five dishes seemed more cost efficient than the à la carte, where a single entrée averaged out to be £40. Dishes were aesthetically appealing. However, portions were tiny and taste-wise had nothing particularly memorable. We had the following dishes with prices listed from the à la carte menu: - Snack & Bread - Mosaic of sashimi tuna with yogurt, lime and red pepper sauce (£19.50) - 38-month aged parmesan risotto, Iberico ham hock, burnt kale dressing (£18.50) - North Sea monkfish, BBQ cabbage, Thai green mussel sauce (£37) - Lake District sirloin, baba ghanoush, watercress, dukkah spice (£47) - Fenchurch chocolate bar, salted almond and buttermilk ice cream (£13) For a drink, I tried the Fenchurch Café Cocktail: coffee filtered Hennessy VS Cognac, cocoa liquer, Amaro Montenegro and Tonka bean (£15). It was too strong for my liking and I stopped after a couple sips. The restaurant is located on the 37th floor of the 20 Fenchurch Street building, which is the highest floor of the Sky Garden. A reservation grants unlimited access to the garden before and after the meal. It is advised to show up a minimum of fifteen minutes prior to the reservation to pass the security check and access the lifts to go up to the 35th floor. A 12.5% service charge is added onto the bill. We had reserved 1:15 PM on a Sunday and were seated at an inner table rather than next to a window with a view of the garden. Service was lacking, and the servers forgot to take our drink orders. A dress code is only required for evenings. read more

Amazing, amazing experience. From start to finish, this really was an EXPERIENCE.

This restaurant located in the financial district of London on the 37th floor of the Sky Garden building was absolutely amazing! The food, the service,the attention to detail was fantastic! The views of London were the best I have ever seen and if you were feeling inclined to dance after your meal you can dance the night away on the 35th floor of the Sky Garden building. On the 35th floor there is a full bar, amazing views of London and a dance floor and a DJ who plays great music until 2 am. My family had a great time dining at this amazing restaurant and dancing the night away after we ate was the perfect end to our night. read more

Update:Sat Jun 17, 2023 1:23 AM My 12 year old son just threw up the entire contents of his stomach. We had lunch reservation at 12:45 pm. By 2:30 pm we finished lunch. He skipped breakfast this morning. Lunch was his main meal. We went to Westminster Abby after lunch and after 1.5 hours, he felt ill. He asked to return to the hotel and rest. He came back to hotel and rested for ours, and kept saying he felt ill. Even up to this point in the afternoon/evening, I didn't attribute it to his lunch. At dinner time - he pecked at the food we gave him, although normally he eats several servings as a growing tween. He continued to say he was feeling ill but I had no idea how bad until around midnight he got up on his own.. went to bathroom several times (potty) and then suddenly he threw up the entire contents of his stomach (from lunch) into the hotel bathroom sink, retching several times and dry heaving even after the contents of his stomach were empty. It took my husband and I several 20 or 30 minutes unplugging the bathroom sink (because of the chunky nature of the contents). I didn't feel it was fair to ask the hotel to clean up the throw up. Went through 1.5 rolls of toilet paper and 2 boxes of kleenex to wipe down the contents (after trying to unplug the sink by stirring the contents to make water go down)... Now have called the hotel to ask for more toilet paper, kleenex, and carbonated clear drink (they don't have ginger ale and the closest they have is 7-up). My son is still gargling and feeling ill and took a hot shower to remove the bile, throw-up. It was projectile vomiting and it literally came out both his nose and mouth. If I can give a NEGATIVE 100, I would. This is now no longer about just bad service and serving food poorly. I am wondering if the lobster was bad. My son ate most of it. Did they microwave the lobster? What would make the lobster so difficult to cut and be like tire rubber? Did a cook not wash their hands after going to the bathroom? My 12 year old had projectile vomiting and it's beyond unacceptable. We have a full day of itinerary sightseeing to be done tomorrow, but now the whole family is up at 1:30 am. _______ I would say for spending $326.25 USD for 2 teens and 1 adult today at the Fenchurch Restaurant, the experience was a bit subpar given expectations. We went there to celebrate daughter's birthday. Got seated next to the toilets in a corner. Son ordered to start: 1. Pea and asparagus risotto, wild garlic, crumbled cheese + lobster supplement. Son and daughter shared the risotto dish and lobster starter. They had trouble cutting the lobster - it was like rubber. I had to try to cut it for them and it was incredibly difficult to cut through the lobster. Risotto was not creamy as so much salty. Both children said they had never had lobster so chewy and rubbery. 2. 12 yr old son ordered the aged fillet of beef. As you can see in the photo, the plating was subpar. They kind of threw on the sauce at the end, and was not carefully plated with sauce. 3. 15 yr old daughter ordered Pan seared sea bass. She said it was fine. I didn't taste it. But given rubbery lobster... I have my doubts. 4. I ordered spiced halibut. Again sauce was not carefully done, but taste of the dish was okay. 5. we each ordered dessert. Son ordered the souffle - which looked beautiful but was overly sweet. Daughter ordered Fenchurch Bar, which seemed somewhat average. I ordered the Rhubarb and that was the one item I thought tasted lovely with varying contrasting flavors. 6. Daughter received for her birthday, 2 little morsels but on the bill,but it stated on the bill "spec Petit FOURS" (uhm - I counted 2. Please use "deux" in French if you want to hide the fact you should have given four). Overall the feeling was not super special. Perhaps they didn't appreciate the fact that I didn't order drinks with my meal? Perhaps it's because we looked Asian? Perhaps it was because there was one adult and 2 children, the service was a bit average and we felt overlooked. I don't recall being asked how the dishes or meals were. If I had been asked, I would have stated the lobster was chewy and rubbery and incredibly hard to cut. Perhaps they assumed we wouldn't know thoughtfully cooked delicate dishes, or understand what thoughtful and beautiful presentation would be like? Even the sauces added to the main dishes were done as an afterthought. They brought out 3 dishes... and usually when sauces come out, they are plated immediately with the placing of the dish on the table. Instead there was perhaps a beat of rest... long enough we all assumed there were no sauces and took photos of the dish... before someone returned with sauces and hastily put them on the plates. Not impressed. Save your $$ for afternoon tea at the Oblix Shard. That is much more worth it. Thoughtfully presented. Thoughtfully served. Graciously hosted. It is the type of foodie experience more worth it's money. read more

Frenchurch is one of those restaurants that are as much about the food as about the experience. We made a reservation weeks in advance and could not find space for dinner so we settled for brunch on a Saturday. Upon arriving, you need to check in at the base of the observation tower but upon checking your reservation you get to skip the line and go up the elevator to the Sky London tower. They recommend that you arrive early to enjoy the gardens and the views which is a great idea. The views are unbeatable and the garden is really pleasurable for a stroll. Upon checking into the restaurant we were sat promptly and the staff was really nice and attentive. They offer a tasting menu of 5 courses but you also get the option to order a la carte. We decided to order a la carte and share two appetizers and two mains. We started with the goat cheese tart which truffle sauce which was decorated really nicely and came out of the pages of a museum. It also tasted amazing with some grilled asparagus on the side. The other appetizer was a Burrata salad with Anchovies which was an eclectic mix of flavors that just worked in so many levels. For the main course we had the Risotto and the grilled fish, they both had impecable presentations and the dishes were just extraordinary. For Dessert we shared the strawberry tart thing which was recommended by our server and it was an incredible combination and textures mixed into an unforgettable dessert. Our Server Tom was delightful and took amazing care of us. Everyone visiting London should make plans to check this place out, you will not regret it. read more

This restaurant was the higher end of the two options inside the walkie talkie. It was phenomenal and great views of course. The menu is limited but definitely worth the experience. The cocktails were great as well. Greta was our server and she was fantastic. She checked up on us to make sure everything was great and definitely made our night perfect. I ordered the crab appetizer and the gnocchi main. My friend got the risotto appetizer and the Kobe for her main. My friend got the chocolate bar for dessert as Greta recommended it and I got the cheese plate. Everything was great and we will definitely be visiting again the next time we are in London. read more

You are paying for the dining experience with the beautiful view. Yes, the food was mediocre but it was a lovey experience for us. Skipping the line to Sky Garden was a bonus too! We were seated in the corner facing out the building. We had the beautiful view of the River Thames during our meal. Our waiter was friendly and professional. They also had a sommelier who helped us pick a wine. We will definitely come back when we visit London. read more

We had a most excellent dinner experience here. Service, food quality and the world-class view were all unprecedented! We had a deliciously smooth, dry Pinot noir from Chile as recommended by the sommelier. The scallop, lobster and tuna sashimi starters were divine as were the stuffed turbot, sirloin and guinea fowl we had for our mains. Desserts were beautiful to look at and delightful to eat. We are here on holiday and will definitely come back in the future! read more

Avoid this restaurant. You can go to the sky garden and get the views with a cocktail and go to a restaurant with better food. Mandatory tasting menu full of seafood which was not available when we booked ahead of time. Way overpriced for incredibly small portions, service was slow even for European standards. read more

I had very high expectations of the restaurant, unfortunately I was quite underwhelmed. The location obviously is amazing, the setup and service are excellent, but the food was not up to par. The dishes look unbelievably extravagant, so the aesthetic presentation is great but I cannot say the same about the taste. For that amount of money you would expect much better tasting dishes. Risotto was not creamy and tasted more like grits. Lamb chop was so fatty and undercooked that we left it untouched. Gnocchi literally came with 4 pieces of fried gnocchi with no sauce, tasting more like French fries. I can keep going on and on. Apple desert was basically cooked apples, not even sweet. I would probably give it a 1 star if it wasn't for wonderful presentation and great staff. read more

We couldn't get tickets to the sky garden and heard if you have reservations at one of the restaurants you can get into the sky garden. This was a wonderful choice. Get reservations and go an hour early so you can walk around on the sky terrace to see all the wonderful views of London. Then have a delightful meal - with wonderful food, excellent service and great ambiance. The oysters and the beef tartare were super. Sea bass and turbot were nice fish dishes. And have one of each dessert - it's worth it. read more

It is expensive, and portion is small. Don't expect Texas sized portion. Let's talk about the ambience - 36th floor and you can have a nice view of London. It is nice and comfortable, not overly fancy. Some place is overkilled with designer "touches" , this place is well balanced. Service was good, not super attentive but when you need anything, all we needed was an eye-contact with our server, and he comes right over. Once he warmed up, he keep topping off my wine. Nice touch!! Foods are fresh, none of the dish was over powered with spices and sauces. I like the fact the chef tastefully decorated the plates while highlighting the taste of each "main" ingredients, I think the chef did a great job. This restaurant is NOT for everyone. Come if you are prepare to experience the art of French cooking. read more

I had the pleasure of dining here last night and my overall experience was wonderful, mostly due to the truly amazing staff. As I was sitting at the bar waiting for my table, I commented about how delicious a drink they'd prepared for another guest looked. And, the bartender promptly poured a small glass for me to sample. And then during dinner, when they realized a table with a better view was available, they asked if we wanted to move. They did not have to do that! But, it was very much appreciated. Only downside is you can't see the Shard from the dining room (just from the bar two floors down). But, there is a nice view of St. Paul's Cathedral from part of the dining room. read more

Fenchurch Restaurant - a lunch with a great atmosphere - Modern European Near Me - London, XGL

Great views and the pigeon is amazing!!! Come early to scope out the views or time your visit with the sunset.

So this review is purely for the restaurant. The view from the SkyGarden generally is superb and I definitely recommend you go there for drinks. I'll definitely be going back to try and catch the sunset. So we had a a bit of trouble finding the restaurant as we had a drink in the bar/garden first. It's at the very very top and we climbed some stairs to the Fenchurch bar but the door is a little hidden (though maybe we were just being dim!). I think normally you'd come in via the lift so it would be fine. So we were seated quickly, atmosphere was lively (it was a saturday night) and everything was fairly slick. Mostly couples dining as you might expect. Service was efficient if a little cold and lacking in personality. I ordered the agnolotti but the chef wasn't happy with the quality of his pasta that night so that was unavailable. So I went for the Poached pavé of Peterhead cod broccoli, hazelnuts and Jersey Royals coming it at £27.50. So yes I know there's a premium for eating however many feet up in the air. But that seems quite a lot for a non-michelin starred restaurant. It was good, don't get me wrong, but just not amazing.Fiance paid for the meal so I have no idea how much the total bill was but certainly not cheap. My fiance didn't even like his lamb main. So I would say if you have a special night out planned, come to Skygarden for a drink but go elsewhere for a fancy dinner. read more

Fenchurch restaurant. On the 37th floor you can find this fab restaurant. My friend made sure we had the best table in the restaurant meaning that we could have dinner while watching the sunset was pretty amazing tbh, we were gonna have the tasting menu that looks quite good but having the testing menu in roka was too much, lots of food wasted as we were quite full.. So we decided to have a starter and a main each, octopus and oysters, turbot and rib eye. He was very impressed with the wine (white Rioja) I Totally recommend the roast rib eye and glaze cheek it was simply delicious one of the best dishes ive had in a while in a British European restaurant. Lovely food, amazing views, excellent service am definitely coming back soon very soon ;) read more

Went here with a friend and had a lovely time. You definitely do need to book in advance. I booked 2 weeks before and only managed to get a table on a Monday evening. There was a massive queue to get up the sky garden. Luckily because we had a reservation we managed to skip this and were ushered through security. Note, this is like an airport! You have to put bags through an x Ray and go through a body scanner. So leave a bit of time for this prior to your reservation. They haven't made the most of the area outside of the restaurant; it's a bit like an airport waiting lounge. Inside the restaurant however has great decor. I would advise to ask for a table by the window facing St Paul's. Not every table in the restaurant has a good view as the restaurant is elevated up away from the main structure/windows of the building. In terms of dress code, definitely shirts for a man and smart casual for women. Waitress was really attentive. Only slight criticism is I asked for a teaspoon with my dessert which she kindly arranged for me, but two other waiters then came and tried to take the spoon away from me because it was against their cutlery regulation and they thought a mistake had been made! Made me feel a bit silly! The food was absolutely terrific. We had oysters and Dover sole and prawns with a side of truffle Mac and cheese which was absolutely delicious! There is a private room that seats around 15 people. There is a bar inside the restaurant for before/after dinner and is ideal if you just want a drink: great date spot! Otherwise you can walk downstairs to the main sky garden bar for a drink there: the views here are EPIC! read more

From start to finish, the service was extraordinary!! I have a soy allergy that they were very accommodating for. The quality of the dishes was incomparable; we opted to order individual appetizers, main course and dessert rather than the tasting menu simply because that seemed like too much food. The ambiance is amazing. We were not able to watch the sunset from our table, but when we were finished eating we went down two levels and took pictures. We highly recommend Fenchurch!! read more

Fenchurch Restaurant is located at the Sky Garden AKA the walkie Talkie building, on the 37th floor. I had emailed them prior to our visit as dinner there was for my birthday. The responses were quick and helpful. We were seated at a beautiful corner table with the views of London. Our server, Roberta, was friendly, professional, and helpful as we wanted to try the tasting menu. Each of the 6 courses and the Amuse bouche, were above and beyond our expectations. Each course was presented eloquently, tasteful, and full of flavor. We were impressed by the Lamb tartare, the North Sea cod, The Aylesbury duck breast-everything cooked to perfection and the portion size was just perfect of each. We were completely full by the time the dessert came around. The cereal milk ice cream was unique and paired well with the Manjaro chocolate. Besides the amazing presentation of the food, the view was mesmerizing. We never felt rushed through the courses and we were able to savor each and every course. The restaurant was very clean, the staff professional and courteous, and it felt the way a special night out should. After dining, the floor below was hopping with music and bars throughout. Being able to walk around and enjoy the views at our leisure was a great way to digest this incredible meal! Kuddos to the Chef and staff for this spectacular experience! read more

The Sea Food bar & grill is located at the top of the 2 floor building inside the atrium of the Sky Garden Ambiance: - more upscale than the brasserie, you definitely want to be on your smart side rather than casual side. They don't have a dress-code but I would recommend shirt for guys as a min, no t-shirt. Layout: Well here it gets tricky. The view is less striking on that level than the level bellow where you have the brasserie and there is why: 1. At the front of the restaurant, they have a terrace which doesn't give you that great sensation of space. I give you that, once they open it, it will be a great space for an outdoor/indoor experience. 2. The shape of the roof and the tinted roof windows. The roof has a curve shape going toward the front of the building which mean that your view is obstructed by the tinted windows and shape of the structure. TIP: you wants some view, ask to be sit on the left side of the restaurant (by the private dinning room), you will get great views of St-Paul. Private Dinning space: The only private dinning space available at the sky Garden (unless you want to get that black AMEX out and rent the downstairs bar or back area). They say it can sit 16 people, well, let's face it, it would be a cozy dinner for 16. I would count on 14 Max to have some room around you. It's a great space with view of the city at the back and St Paul on the left. Bar: Great bar where you have a seafood buffet, great for a date or with a friend if you don't want the fuss of table service Food: As the name suggest, if you don't like seafood or meat, you might want to rethink your choice. I had the Chateau Brilliant for 2 and it was delicious. Meat was tender, cooked as requested. Wine: As expected, fantastic selection of bottles Price: You looking at 30-45 for main in general Service: Attentive yet discreet, our waiter knew the menu and was able to guide you through it. Definitely more a biz or special occasion restaurant for me. I will go back bar read more

Like Tanya said, I'd go to the Sky Garden for the fantastic views, which I will definitely do again, but I will unfortunately not visit this restaurant again. We got welcomed by a very nice woman and seated quickly by the window like requested, which was really nice. Our waiter for the evening was ok, and overall the service was good. Everything looking swell so far! What is not good is the price compared to what you get. First of all, their website says 55 pounds for the tasting menu, 45 for the vegetarian. When we got to the restaurant this was now an 8 course menu for 85 pounds. I love a tasting menu so we chose to go for it after all, my friend got the vegetarian one. Pretty much the most boring tasting menu I've ever had, at one of the higher prices. Not one course except maybe the fish was memorable, and some of my courses were just a repetition of my friend's last vegetarian course with some meat with it, which made it especially disappointing for him as the price is now the same for both menus. Seemed uninspired and overall just very disappointing. Really sad as the location is amazing and the service level is really quite good. (Again, as Tanya perfectly pointed out, the service was a bit cold). I will mention though that the waiter asked us a few times if we were happy with everything, and we should have said something, but it is a bit difficult when they haven't really done anything wrong there and then, the food they present is just not worth the price. For 85 pounds I expect more of an experience food-wise, no matter how fab the view. read more
