    first of all when someone requires a table whith a view because is a special occasion, why would u give them them most hidden table! did they do that in purpose?! then the waiting time for a waiter to bring a menu was more than 20 min each time , the atmosphere was dead as after a while they even stoped the music , all the stuff disappeared, it took me 20 min to ask for a desert menu, and then 20 min to find someone so i could ask for the bill. im completely disappointed, as we paid £330 for 2 people, and was absolutely not worthy!

    I have been going to this place since the 90s. There is now no atmosphere. The staff have that Eastern European stern approach to diners. For example I asked if they had Prosecco or Cava and the girl very sternly says “no we don’t”. She could say we have champagne with a smile. Anyway we ordered champagne but when you have Italian or Spanish guests it’s good to give them the attention by ordering their own national product. The food is very average and the prices are therefore expensive. The restaurant was empty. 3 tables at most. The bar was empty. And yet they do a big dog-and-pony show about reservations and 15 minute grace periods and so on. It’s sad to experience this with people visiting from another country. It’s time for this place to change. Times have moved on seriously since the 90s.

    Dear Fred, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your recent visit didn’t meet your expectations, especially as a long-time guest since the 90s. As a French restaurant, our focus is on delivering an authentic French dining experience, including our selection of French champagne. We understand that Prosecco or Cava might be preferred by some guests, and we’re sorry if our sommelier, who is Italian, didn’t offer a more personalized approach when discussing our selection. We will certainly make an effort to improve the way we communicate these options in the future. We appreciate your valuable input and hope you will give us another opportunity to show the quality and warmth that we’ve been known for over the years. Team Le Pont de la Tour

    We were a party of four and took a reservation at 9 pm. The waitresses were rushed and one of the waitresses kept arguing with the maitre in public, without minding the customers. Both filet Mignon ordered had to be sent back as they were overcooked and not as ordered. It took a long time for the services to be replaced and the flow of the dinner was interrupted. Apologies and complimentary wine were offered by a very professional maitre, Petric. We were surprised to see so many empty tables in a prime London restaurant on a Saturday evening, but although the food was eventually nice, after this level of service it became clear why there were so few customers.

It's disheartening to hear about the issues you faced with both the service and the quality of your meals. We take your concerns seriously and will address them with our team to ensure this does not happen again. We're glad to hear that Petrit was able to make things right with his professionalism and that the food was eventually enjoyable. We do appreciate your understanding, and we hope you'll consider giving us another chance to provide a better experience next time. Team Le Pont de la Tour

    Had lunch with friends to celebrate my birthday. Restaurant was cold, the service a bit hit and miss and the food average. The crispy duck leg starter was inedible and I could have done with instructions on how to eat it or perhaps an angle grinder to get into it. Did get a birthday treat which was a nice touch but it was too late by then. Not a place I will ever be revisiting.
    Le Pont de la TourResponded on January 25, 2025

Please know that we take your comments very seriously, and we will work hard to address these concerns to improve the experience for all our guests.

    Ristorante con vista sul Tamigi e difronte toner bridge, a cena il 31 dicembre 2024 cena di San Silvestro, il poco che si è mangiato ottimo e tutto perfetto, personale gentile sempre pronto e preparato. Credo che i prezzi del menù alla carta avendo dato una sbirciatina forse sono un po altini ma, l'ho consiglio per la location e la vista oltre che per la cucina ottima!
