Best Date Night Restaurants in Herne Hill

Excellent ambiance and the pre theatre menu is very good value for money. We were celebrating a birthday and i had hand-painted something as a gift which i has presented to my friend until seconds later the waitress slammed the bill on the table (which we hadn’t asked for) and said she’s leaving the bill because the next guest had arrived. By then we had overstayed our assigned time slot by exactly 1 minute and my friend was unwrapping the parcel. The gift presenting moment was special and emotional one for us but ruined it all for being rushed out the way we had been. Very inappropriate and not in line with what Clos Maggiore purports to be.

Very nice Food and Tea, the ambient is great and the service is top class, it's just a very expensive one time experience for not-as-rich-people like me and my husband ;) but we loved it!

While food was ok, IMO not befitting of a 5 star hotel in an exclusive location like The Shard. Service was also not supreme with long waits for drinks and no return visits to ask if we wanted refills when drinks were empty. Restaurant furniture, floors and tableware also a bit shabby. The view makes up for it but will unlikely be returning.

We went for a late Saturday lunch and it was fantastic. We had steamed mussels in the white wine sauce which were amazing. The four of us polished off a whole kilo. We all had the classic fish n chips- a mix of cod and haddock. The fish was fresh, not greasy and crispy. The chips were classic thick cut chip shop chips. The atmosphere was lovely and cheerful. I’m in London for 5 days and may try to visit again. Definitely worth a visit.

We dined here on Christmas Eve and it was lovely. Delicious food and great service. I highly recommend this restaurant!
