We enjoyed the cocktails, the beans, the spinach, the vegetarian platter but not the Sashimi platter. We were charged £46 for the Sashimi platter. I asked the waiter for how many people is this platter for 2 or 4 . He would not answer. We asked him how many pieces were there. He would not answer. I cannot believe that for £46 we only got 3 pieces of salmon, 3 pieces of tuna and 3 pieces of something else. I think I was extremely short changed on this!

Not worth the price. Was waiting for our window seat for an hour and by the time we got our window seat they told us we only had 30 minutes left. Staff was quite rude. Atmosphere was good. Drinks are decent but nothing special. Wouldn’t come here again as there are so many better places at the same price.

Amazing experience from the arrival to the departure. We were looked very well by the team and even offered a table by the window. Great selection of signature cocktails with good use of ingredients, presentation and choice of glassware. We liked the classics too- especially the Negroni. Beautiful atmosphere and sleek service. Keeps up the good work. We will be back there.

Obviously the bar is wonderful with an amazing view of London. Our server was terrible. No personality, kept getting the order wrong or forgetting items and then told us we had a time limit left. Food was not good, supermarket sushi at best.
