- MManilYorkshire •2 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoHad a lovely meal with my parents. Great selection of tapas and super generous portions of food..good value for money. Nice ambience, on the louder side, with options to sit outside too. Was popular and busy which meant service was a little bit slow but worth waiting for then the food. Definitely recommend!More infoMeson Don FelipePrice: Moderate• Spanish• Waterloo•4.4
- PPattiNew York City •44 reviews4.0Dined on May 1, 2025This place was recommended to use for the view. We had 7pm reservations and arrived at 6:45 and were sat on the terrace for a drink. We were sat at 7:45 inside. It would have been better had we asked if we could have stayed outside, but had to be somewhere at 9:30 so took the inside seats. Food, and Service was great. They paid extra attention to food allergies. Overall, a nice meal and would go again.More infoOXO Tower RestaurantPrice: Very Expensive• British• Waterloo•4.5
- MManiVIPLondon •24 reviews5.0Dined on May 1, 2025The best rooftop in London, with the perfect location and the sea food is amazing, not like the other cliche rooftops, worth the value and experience. Sea bass and steak mains are the best on the menu in my opinion. Best views on a hot summer day!More infoSeabird at The HoxtonPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Southwark•4.5
