    Early evening dinner for 4. Some good service but a few poor impressions. Our waiter was excellent, the food was good but seeing a manager carrying out side dishes over to hand to our waiter mid restaurant and not on a tray (thumbs in both dishes) looked amateur and rushed. Better to serve the sides from a tray all together- only 3 items.

    Good lunch menu with wine pairings, although still likely to cost you over £130 for lunch for two.

    The food is nice and the view is absolutely stunning, but the service is disappointing. This is a top-tier restaurant, and this level of service does not meet the bar at all. The staff were not friendly that they ignored my table, and I wasn’t attended to until I had to ask for service. I ordered the basic lunch set, but my bill was mistakenly charged twice with two errors. I’m not the only one affected; two other tables near me had similar disappointing experiences. This level of service is unacceptable and really overshadows what could have been an enjoyable dining experience.

    Booked the sunset menu and when we got there we had a server that was quite rude. Asked about the welcome drink to which he flat out said no we don’t get one with that menu. Spoke to hostesses and they also said apparently the menu had changed but they would talk to a manager etc. Meanwhile the table next to us who had the exact same menu had the welcome drinks. They then gave my friend the wrong dish as a main - this was rectified and she was offered an apology. We were the only POC there and our treatment throughout reflected that. It’s a nice place, cute views but I wouldn’t go there again.
