Food was tasty, although felt slightly overpriced for what it was and unfortunately the ibérico pork chop was very well cooked and under seasoned. The rest was a shambles… Kept waiting 30 minutes for our table at the bar - where we had to send back drinks because they were so bad. The bartender told us he agreed with us and that you don’t come here for the cocktails, as they are “sh*t” - his own words. Then the service, abysmal. We didn’t get our starters until 8.30 - considering our reservation was for 7.30. Then I watched the manager stop the runner bringing the food to our table because we still hadn’t received the aperitifs we ordered 20 mins previously. Our waiter brought over the bottle of wine (which we ordered with the aperitifs as we knew this wasn’t going too well) and then she disappeared with the bottle for a good 10 minutes and came back with the bottle open. You NEVER open a bottle of wine away from the table. The meal continued but we had to ask for our wont to be topped up as it was being kept in a communal ice bucket down some stairs, completely out of our sight. We never received a check back on our mains. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and they brought a candle I which was embedded in a ramekin of sea salt as a celebratory touch - a birthday candle in sea salt for a wedding anniversary??? We took the service charge off and then the manager came over asking if everything was okay. I felt sorry for her, but she knew early on that she had lost us. I also was quite shocked that my £17.50 Paloma- which I didn’t drink and left at the bar was still on my bill. The paloma which I asked the host not to carry to our table and when she asked why and I told her because it wasn’t very good, she just laughed and said “okay”. Go if you wanted overpriced, above average food. Don’t go if you want a dining experience that lives up t any sort of positive expectations.

The moment we arrived the person who greeted us and the servers were really attentive and helpful. The setting is really lovely and had amazing views but the best bit was definitely the food, it was absolutely delicious! It was a fairly expensive bill at the end even though we didn’t have many drinks but for a treat it was worth it

Great food & service was very friendly. Great location too as the views were stunning… Maybe that’s what you pay for - views as well as food. A little pricey for the amount you get so not a place to frequent. Cute time was had all over.

What a wonderful restaurant everything was perfect. Was another restaurant ticked off my daughter's list and for her Birthday too. All the staff were great and very informative and advised us on our choice of food. The food and drinks were out of this world, great flavours and expertly cooked. Certainly will visit again.

Great to hear you were well looked after that you enjoyed our food/drinks- I'll be sure to pass this on to the team! We look forward to welcoming you back!

Awful service. Took 20 mins to get served after having to go to front desk to ask for service. Waiter then came 10 mins later and forgot his pen and paper so had to go back and get it. When he came, he spilled a cocktail on my girlfriend. He then told us that they were out of a dish, 30 mins after ordering it. Service was similarly horrible after. When we paid, we got given the wrong bill. Then the right bill came, but they had two incorrect items on it. The food is decent (though not value for money) and the kitchen is let down massively by the bad service.

Decimo is a stunning space with breathtaking views and a vibrant ambience—though the music was a bit too loud for a dinner setting. We really enjoyed the food overall, but were quite disappointed to find that the restaurant had run out of all the meat mains, including steak, pork, and lamb—especially since these were the dishes we had been most looking forward to. Given that we had made a reservation in advance and were expecting a premium dining experience, this was surprising and frustrating. The fish mains we ended up ordering were decent but quite small in portion. While I truly loved the atmosphere, the overall experience didn’t quite live up to expectations.

Decimo is a gorgeous, intimate restaurant with lovely decor and the perfect views of the city. The staff are all lovely and the food was delicious. We did spend £96 PP (two of us), so it’s quite expensive, but I would still recommend going - especially for a special occasion.

Food is overpriced for the amount served, £40 for 6 small slices of beef. When it came to service when the waiter was around it was great, then he just disappeared off and you had to try and grab another waiter.
