This place is great. They've done a considerable amount of renovations in the recent months and the…read morerestaurant is now found on the first floor in the front of the building. The bar at the top floor was closed when I went last but it seems like they'll keep the bar there for night events. For this visit, I went to the restaurant and the service was exceptional. The dining room was also very nice and very new (you can even make out the faint smell of fresh paint). The food, though a little pricey for lunch, was delicious. I started off with the salmon and eggs and that was some of the best I've had. I then went on to the steak and chips and that was really good too. Parts of the steak were a little chewy but I guess every cut it different. They cooked my steak just the way I like it, medium-rear. I will update my review once I come back and see what the night scene looks like.

Once inside you feel better instantly, even though you have to walk up a flight of stairs before being greeted. Being used to the hyper-professional and over-friendly service at The Hospital Club, I was a bit taken aback by two staff members who shared the lift and completely ignored me when I got lost. Oh well, perhaps it was too obvious I didn't belong Well, lunch more than made up for the rocky start. The famous roof terrace was covered up as it wasn't quite warm enough to brave the elements. Food was lovely, and so was the wine.

Drinks are good prices and you can take them upstairs to watch the show, they transfer drinks to a plastic cup so glasses aren't broken because you end up giggling so much you're on the floor! And what a laugh we had - the Slap, Tickle and Squeak group is beginning to perform there on a regular basis - 3 Kiwis who put on an hour long show that leaves you in stitches every time. Give the pub a call and ask when they're performing there next - you really oughta! After the show everyone converges in the pub downstairs and has a merry old time!

The price fees for the acts are quite reasonable around £10. I would definitely go along again. Unique

Where the Bank location is underground and therefore a warm, dark atmosphere, Moorgate is on the 5th floor with beautiful wrapping terraces which makes everything light, bright and refreshing. On a warm, sunny day this is one of the best places to be. The staff are friendly and the drinks cold. They give discounted corporate memberships and there are rooms that can be reserved for entertaining your corporate guests. They also have lots of themed events. If I had the money I would definitely get a membership.

Having enjoyed a superb lunch here previously after bringing my friend here for her birthday treat,…read moreI decided to book my company's Christmas dinner party here and it was an excellent choice. What I particularly liked is the round table seating arrangements. I wish more restaurants used this configuration instead of square tables, so much better for groups to chat, round a table, makes the dining experience much more sociable and enjoyable. The main dining area in the restaurant is relaxed and bright, and our tables overlooked the terrace area, with a long settee seating used as a divider to the other part of the restaurant, so a really great use of space, giving exclusivity to your party. The food portions were on the small side, except the mains which were a decent size, but the quality of the food was sublime, so more than makes up for the smaller quantity. We went for the Prestige Set Menu which had pigeon, pumpkin soup, salmon or goat's cheese as starters, and for the mains either the turkey, sea bream, game pie or risotto, with sides all served to the table of tiny roast potatoes, brussels sprouts and market salad. With choc brownies, cheesecake or Christmas pud for desserts, followed by coffee and mince pies. Three and a half hours of a very enjoyable Christmas dinner party. Then after the dinner was over, you felt very welcome to stay as long as you liked, and never pressurised or feel you have overstayed, even into the wee hours of the morning. The service was efficient and prompt, except on arrival, our area, tables and welcome drinks were not ready, but understandable when the previous customers had left later than anticipated after their lunch party. However, after that slight delay, the service cannot be faulted, very friendly, calm and unobstrusive. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.
