  • Sunday Roast

    £65.00 per person

    We ate on Easter Sunday. Unfortunately our food had to be returned numerous times. Initially for being luke warm. Then twice more for overcooked fish. When the main course is over £50 you would expect a better culinary experience. However, surprisingly we still had a lovely experience as the supervisor Jacopo handled the situation with professionalism his expertise in this difficult situation was exceptional. Turning the experience around. Thank you Jacopo !

    Wirklich ein rundum tolles Erlebnis! Natürlich besticht das Restaurant mit einem unvergleichlichen Panoramablick über London, aber auch Essen und Service überzeugen hier auf ganzer Linie! Besonders ist unser Kellner Alex hier hervorzuheben, der wirklich einen hervorragenden Service gemacht hat!

    Not great experience. Place is crowded and from the minute you seat, they state your table is only available to you for 90 minutes. Service is rushed, you barely finish your course and they are removing your plate. Nice views but not worth £150+ for 2 persons.
