    My husband, my 3 year old son and I stopped here for a birthday cocktail but ended up having dinner too. Overall a great experience from very attentive staff to food quality and atmosphere. I had the prawn curry with saffron rice which was fragrant and delicious. My husband was happy with his steak and my son enjoyed his penne pasta from the kids menu. Cocktails were also good.

    We had a reservation for Saturday, February 3rd, for a bottomless brunch, and despite some initial skepticism due to mixed reviews, I am delighted to share that it was an outstanding experience. We were seated by the window, enjoyed superb service from attentive staff who ensured our glasses were never empty. The food exceeded expectations, and the added touch of a saxophone player in the background elevated the ambiance. Kudos to the staff – a solid 5-star experience!

    We had a lovely team lunch today with 11 people at this nice restaurant. Grand, beautiful and with an amazing view of South Bank. Soft music and light atmosphere, suitable for conversations. The food is a tad pricey a la carte depending on options (£17-36 for mains), but they have a lovely lunch set menu of £30 for 2 course and £35 for 3 course. I personally had the smoke salmon for starter and cod for main, and they were very well executed. Nicely presented, good sized portions and tasty. I would recommend the pear and beetroot salad though, unexpectedly super refreshing and tasty! Also had a cocktail called This is not a tiramisu and was very delicious! Note the restaurant does not have their own toilet but uses the South Bank Centre ones which is a small walk away. Nappy changing area available in those too. Overall it was a good experience, would recommend.
