Great view and unique menu! Our seat overlooks the River Thames, prefect for a nice weather and blue sky. We had the 3-course menu with smoked salmon, shepherd’s pie and sticky dates pudding, all tastes perfect. Perfect for a fine meal before a concert!

Service was very slow. Noticeably under-staffed for a Thursday evening. Guests were left waiting a long time to have their orders taken. Kitchen seemed slow, too. We sat down at 7:20, stuck to just one course, only got out at 8:40 and barely making it to our show. But the cooking was fine and the price point was quite reasonable for the location
