We booked our table very early at 11:45 and we're the first ones in so could see the interiors and how they are laid out. Service was excellent, we had the festive tasting menu for 2, there was so much food, we struggled to get through it and left some. We took our puddings away in a box. Be prepared excludig alcohol to pay £75 - £100 per head for an epic experience. Would definitely go back. I took my daughter for her birthday as she wanted to go and it was fantastic.

Food with a view, yes please. Having amazing food and drink high above the city skyline is not something most people get to do, so if you are looking for breathtaking views and fantastic food this is the place for you.

Really delicious, interesting Thai fusion food, with excellent views of Tower Bridge if you sit outside. Service was friendly, though we had to wait too long to order. Only real complaint is the loud, trashy nightclub music they play, totally inappropriate to the venue. Do the staff pick this to entertain themselves? Surely customers don’t want it, unless this is what tourists expect to hear everywhere these days? Or are they hoping to attract a young, downmarket clientele?
