    The view is the best thing about this place, that’s why we went to try it, right overlooking the Thames and O2, perfect spot. Sadly that’s where it ends, zero ambience in this place barely anyone in sight including staff. We booked a table but waited and when someone came they appeared to be housekeeping/support staff in t-shirts and dirty trousers, no knowing the menu or anything. Asked for sparkling water, was warm and put on the table (serve yourself) so that’s the level of service. We ordered cocktails and dinner. Long wait nothing came and then the food came and we had to ask where our cocktails were. They then went to find them. So overall view is lovely but service is not really existent or professional in any way and although it’s a great spot they are totally missing a beat as just no ambience. Shame

    The service here was appallingly slow despite the fact that there was no one else here. I ordered a medium rare steak that first came so overcooked that even the steak knife struggled to saw through it. The steak was then replaced with one that had not even seen the oven as it was cold on the inside and still purple. Would not recommend.

    Ate at Scoff & Banter in Canary Wharf at lunch time. The restaurant was very quiet but suspect that at night when the hotel is busy it would be very different. The food was good but my steak may have been a little overdone at medium rare for most tastes. Service was very good, sufficiently attentive but not overbearing and Meghana met our every need and was very pleasant and efficient. Nice view from covered terrace overlooking the river and the O2.

    Beautiful restaurant with lovely view Food was a bit disappointing Charcuterie board was very limited with about 4 slices of meat Which definitely didn’t reflect on the price

    We had dinner on a Saturday, drinks in the evening and then breakfast in the morning and all staff were very welcoming and friendly. The views were lovely (it was a very sunny weekend!) and the food was really tasty. Will definitely be staying at the hotel and eating here again.

    The restaurant is in a beautiful setting. There were only 3 tables in use. We ordered some drinks and olives which were fine. After waiting nearly 2 HOURS we had to find someone to come and take our food order. The fish and chips were very greasy and not nice. Nobody came to check on us. We had to go and get the salt a pepper as no staff were in the restaurant. When the bill arrived service charge had been added!! What service?

    The food was excellent however the service was very poor. We were made to feel as though we were an inconvenience by the waitress. When we queried something we were met with a ‘What’ response and an air of rudeness which was disappointing. We weren’t asked how the meal was. We had to ask for salt and pepper and when we queried something on the final bill for clarity, it was clear the waitress was annoyed and simply couldn’t be bothered - we weren’t complaining at all as we were only asking a question about two drinks. We had to ask to see the dessert menu also and don’t know if the waitress had heard us ask for it as she just walked off before putting them all down in the table instead of handing us to them. The service really let the restaurant down.
