Even though I had booked the incorrect experience; I thought I had booked a table outside for dinner but had booked a drinks thing instead! They put some table s together so I could still eat outside and enjoy the great view, weather and food. Thank you!!

Lovely anniversary meal by the river in a stunning setting with perfect weather. Waiters were friendly without being pushy - loved that one held my chair back for me to leave the table - and very helpful regarding my coeliac dietary requirements. Food was excellent and good value for London, particularly in such a unique setting. We enjoyed it so much we ordered extra drinks just to linger longer and enjoy the ambience and view. Definitely visit again. Only downside: the gluten free bread was truly horrible, dry and crumbling. There are so many more better alternative these days, it’s an easy fix!

Food only average. Really poor service as we had to request the pre dinner drinks order 3 times before it eventually arrived just as the starter was served and the wine was poured. Expensive for what it is. Nice setting though.
Le Pont de la TourResponded 7 days ago
Dear Philippa, Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we're glad to hear you enjoyed the setting, we're truly sorry that the service and overall dining experience did not meet your expectations. It’s disappointing to learn that your pre-dinner drinks were delayed and only arrived alongside your starters — this is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience. We’ve addressed this with the team to ensure better coordination and attentiveness moving forward. We also take note of your comments regarding the food and value, and we’ll be reviewing this internally with our kitchen and management teams. Warm regards, Team Le Pont de la Tour

I have been coming to Le Pont de la Tour for over twenty years - much more frequently before I retired from business but on every trip back to London. We had a great meal and a good time. Thank you. We look forward to coming again.

Food was below average. I had a steak and fries for my main course, but the fries arrived at the end of my meal. It's the first time I left steak unfinished on my plate; I don’t think the steak was good quality and aged properly.
Le Pont de la TourResponded on July 7, 2025
Dear Savas, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear that your meal didn’t meet expectations — especially that the steak wasn’t up to standard and that your fries arrived so late. That’s certainly not the level of quality or service we aim to deliver. We’d also appreciate any additional details you’re willing to share about your overall experience, especially regarding the service, as your review was rated 1 star. Understanding what went wrong helps us improve and ensure that future visits are much better for you and all our guests. We value your input and hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity to make things right. Warm regards, Team Le Pont de la Tour
