If you stay in the hotel, some rooms get the breakfast buffet included. They have custom omelettes and eggs. fruit, juices (squeezed from boxes into vats), cheeses, fruits, coffee machine, breads, lox, and great hash browns. Pretty standard fare, but nothing tastes very fresh or local. Service was friendly, but you pretty much serve yourself. Bacon is more like Canadian bacon (for the Americans who may expect something else). Ours was included so I can say if it was worth the cost. Perfectly acceptable breakfast. read more

Fairly good Marriott restaurant. Great service (5/5) and quality food (3/5) but not memorable. Convenient spot at canary wharf.

I don't ever go to the Canary Wharf area so it was a bit of a trek to get there, but a nice walk from the riverboat stop. The restaurant is actually in the Marriott hotel - I was dubious but willing to give it a go. We were seated quickly by a pleasant person (a theme that continued the whole time - the staff were all really lovely). I had made a reservation but it wasn't needed, and he didn't ask my name when I said I had a reservation. I had informed them through the reservation system that it was my partner's birthday but there was no mention of it, probably because no one checked the reservation. The menu is pretty straightforward, with about 8 starters, some steaks, a few main courses, and half a dozen desserts. Both of us ordered the nearly the same - scallops with pea puree and chorizo to start, a USDA New York Strip cooked medium with bernaise sauce. For a side, my partner got a loaded baked potato, and I had mac & cheese. Neither of us drink alcohol but I could see that they had a nice area for wine as well. Bread was brought to the table, but no butter - instead they give you a rather odd cream cheese. It was fine, but really, bring me some butter! Neither of us liked the scallops - they were a bit rubbery and stringy, and very small. Edible, but just not any better than I could do at home. Plus the chorizo was really just too strong for a delicate scallop. There was quite a long wait between the starter and main, especially as there was only one other table in the restaurant at this point. The kitchen is open to the restaurant, and they have a chef running the pass, so it's at least entertaining. We did hear them doing room service food as well, which might have accounted for the delay. Our steaks and sides came and looked very lovely. The meat tasted good, but mine was overdone - a shame as it made it a bit hard to cut. It wasn't tough when I ate it though, so I wonder if the trendy knives just aren't quite up to the job! The other steak had some pink so maybe I was just unlucky. The menu quite clearly says that medium rare has a slightly cool red centre, and that medium had a warm pink centre, so I was expecting it to be pink throughout. My partner's loaded baked potato came plain, with a side of sour cream topped with bacon. He said there was a lemony taste to the sour cream, but he liked it and the potato was fluffy and didn't taste microwaved. My mac & cheese was very, very cheesy. I would have preferred it a bit looser/wetter but there's no denying that it tasted nice. For dessert, I had key lime pie, and my other half had a warm pecan pie. The key lime pie was very, very tasty - a light lemon-yellow colour with slivers of lime zest, tart and delicious. It came served with a massive pile of clotted cream. I would have rather it had been ice cream! The pecan pie was tasty but could have used more of the squishy middle. He also would have preferred a scoop of ice cream instead of the clotted cream. To be fair, the menu did say clotted cream! The bill for 2 with no alcohol (just 2 glasses of pepsi) and a tip was about £60 per person, so not a cheap night out. The restaurant was getting a bit more atmosphere as we left around 8pm. To summarise, the steak was good quality, the service good and efficient, but the starter was a let down, and a bit more attention should be paid to the steaks - an overcooked steak can't really be saved and makes my carnivore self weep read more

Went here for afternoon tea. Very pleasant atmosphere. Please note that this review is for the G&Team part of the venue. I found this place by looking for afternoon tea in London in the posh Canary Wharf area. I made an online reservation, and arrived several hours early - planes don't seem to have their schedules set to afternoon tea. It's easy to find and even when so early there, the staff was very helpful. I sat down in the area after talking with the waiter and he promised me to setup a a table in a quiet corner later on. I've worked a while there, using the free wifi. The place is pretty busy - more visitors than I anticipated. Shortly before my appointment arrived, I moved to the prepared table. We were brought an afternoon tea menu and the waiter was knowledgeable about different teas. He was even able to make a tea mixture himself too. Tea was brought swiftly, and the sides or snacks that go with the tea followed a bit later. As this was a business meeting, I don't have photos of those, but it looked marvelous. Some sandwiches, some sweets and scones. Delicious. Didn't got the chance to sample everything, need to come back another time. The corner we were was perfect for the situation, the music was quiet there - they said, they disabled the speaker there - and the service was very friendly, keeping in the background and appearing at the right times. After the meeting, payment with credit card was done swiftly. Please know that gratuities are included in your bill per default. Later in the afternoon, many more guests show up and it gets a bit noisy, but I guess that's normal, certainly on Friday. I would go again there. Service was good. Price was OK for the location and the quality. Location is good too. 4 out of 5 stars because it's good, but not like "knocks my socks off" and that's what I keep my 5-star rating for :) read more

I recently ate here and had their Malbec Monday £15 for a steak and glass of wine sounded like a good deal. And to be fair the service was very friendly and high quality. However, when I received my glass of wine there was a small fly in it - not the best way to start a meal. I was offered a fresh glass from a new bottle. When the meal arrived, I started making my way through the sides, which were decent. Shortly after starting I was asked by the waiter if the steak was alright I cut in to it to see no pink at all defiantly an overcooked steak (I requested medium rare). The waiter offered to change my steak, I wouldn't usually have complained and just ate the steak but seen as the waiter had offered I took up the offer. Sadly the second steak was over cooked as well... and didn't taste like a good cut of meat. I won't be returning again in a hurry, shame that the food doesn't match the high quality of service on offer. read more

I was quite impressed with the attention we got as soon as we came through the door. The manager spotted us, quite far away from the occupied tables, and he strided over to give us a good welcome. We were taken to a nice table for two and given menus without fuss. We both ordered rib eyes: my wife had an 8oz rib eye cooked medium rare, while I had a 10oz one cooked medium. The steaks looked like they were cooked to the same level, but I was happy with mine. I have had nicer steaks, though, at some of the other chain restaurants for similar prices. My wife was a bit peckish, so she also got the clam chowder to start. It was quite chunky and more bacon than clam. We ordered fries and a macaroni cheese for sides. The fries were McDonald style, but a bit on the blond side. The macaroni cheese had a great cheese crust on top, but the rest of it was more subtle. It was £85 for the dinner (including a glass of sparkling wine for my wife). A bit on the high side, but this is a restaurant attached to a hotel in the Canary Wharf area. read more

We came here on a whim after the movie after nearby. We have been eyeing this place for some good American meal. At first we were enticed by the special deal of £15 for 2 course or £18 for three course meal. Unfortunately we arrived just before 9pm which is 1 hour after the special ends (8pm). Nevertheless, we still went in to satiate our craving. Upon entry, the ambiance as a result of dim lighting exudes an air of tranquility and romance. Its quite a nice place for impromtu dinner date me thinks. As for the service, the staff were attentive and quick. Our drinks and food came in no time. My husband and I each both had their burger and fries. I must say that it was very much American size and portioning. The sesame seed bun was humongous and the meat patty was thick and juicy while the fries were actually skinny. Our meal really filled us up to the rim. Although, I feel like the burger could be better with a little sauce in it but otherwise everything was all good in this hood. read more

#lategram * 2004 * was traveling solo for work & I can still recall this exquisite meal. Obviously I looked foreign to the locals (staff) so they greeted me with the utmost kindness & provided me with the most lovely experience. They prepare a delicious cosmopolitan for me & when I received the bill, it was complimentary! I asked why as there was nothing wrong with it. They said the manager thoroughly enjoyed my company & was hoping I'd return the next evening for dinner. I was flattered but unfortunately I was departing London the next morning. My recollection of this meal was truly five stars. Place was divine & inviting. If or when I return, I hope this venue is still open so I can enjoy another meal. read more

Manhattan Grill - Absolutely a lovely evening. Food & drinks were incredible. - Steakhouses Near Me - London, XGL

The waiters are really outstanding and fantastic, nonstop aiming at making your meal and venue as pleasant and convenient as humanly possible. you feel how much they love their jobs and know about their dishes. One waiter in particular made our stay really unforgettable and we're so grateful for that. Oh and about the food: you'll feel like you've never tasted steak before and probably won't be able to enjoy any other steak afterwards. It's got a really rich taste, is so tender and prepared just on-spot. The toppings, sauced and side dishes are so delicious too and perfectly fit the meat. As dessert we strongly recommend the double chocolates cake and the pudding with salted caramel ice cream. We cannot wait to return! read more

Great spot for an outdoor evening meal at Canary Wharf. The cider was great and the fish and chips were cooked to perfection. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They were also quite knowledgeable when it came to the different types of ciders. read more

Manhattan Grill - Fish and chips! - Steakhouses Near Me - London, XGL

Delicious Valentine's Day dinner! I enjoyed the Filet, which was cooked to perfection. As sides we enjoyed the mashed potatoes which were very flavorful as well as the chips - delicious! We ended the meal with a few deserts. The Double Chocolate Cake was my favorite. They brought it out and poured hot fudge on top! We also tried the Cheesecake and Sticky Toffee pudding, which was definitely savory. Would highly recommend! read more

Amazing staff, brilliant food. I had the king prawns and a 10oz fillet, and it was absolutely delicious. The G&Tea bar is excellent, with their extensive list of gins from all over the world and delicious selection of cocktails - it did not disappoint. The view is stunning, the food is great, the staff are attentive and the drinks are fabulous. They also do a really lovely wine tasting for guests before your meal - definitely do that if you go! Every bit as good as Hawksmoor. read more

The food was incredibly bland and poorly prepared. I ordered fries which had no seasoning and some weren't fully cooked. I asked what was in the salad before ordering and was told carrots and tomatoes and then it came with avocado which is a strange ingredient to forget to mention. It had a dressing of some kind on it, but you could only tell by the sheen of the lettuce and in no way by the flavor of the salad which was non existent. The filet had a vein of fat through the middle of it and was bloody when I asked for medium. It was strangely chewy for a $30 piece of meat. It was the least flavorful steak I can recall eating and the brandy peppercorn sauce was mystifyingly tasteless too. In summary, the flavor was nonexistent (perhaps they ran out of all seasoning?), the preparation was amateurish and the price was high. I would have rather eaten at McDonalds. read more
