The Oxo Tower never disappoints! This has become a staple for us whenever we’re in London, and for good reason. The views from the terrace are simply breathtaking, offering a perfect backdrop for an unforgettable dining experience. The food and drinks are consistently excellent, with a menu that caters to all tastes. The service is always top-notch—attentive yet unobtrusive.

Had a birthday meal with my daughter, and my son with his girlfriend. It was a GREAT Meal. I had crab as the starter. My daughter had the duck and main course beef and she reckoned the beef was the best she has ever tasted. She is fussy, she likes her food. Son and his girlfriend had the bass. They enjoyed that. As it was their birthday I arranged a birthday cake to be ordered. Oxo dealt with the ordering of the cake and when it came it was lovely. Had couple of candles on top as well. The location is great. The restaurant was open. Didn’t feel enclosed. The view was great. Definitely one of the selling points along side the menu.

The food was not up to standard as you have high expectations for the venue and price. It should have been excellent and it was ok. Nothing terrible but all a bit bland and Luke warm and over salted. I was disappointed. The view is still good and servers were nice but it was all a bit declining in my opinion. I’m not sure if I usually have been with the work nights rather than a Friday/ sat night. It was a special occasion and I was taking out friends who were in town. I won’t choose that again and next time would probably just go to the bar for a drink and the view

I really liked the menu and the bistro feel that it gives off - my only criticism and it’s a small one was the seating . I felt far to close to other customers and was sat next to others when there was other covers available But the service was excellent and food delicious.

Desire at the reception greeted us well and assured that she has got our back, which she did right from helping with the table with a view to arranging the surprise birthday cake for my wife. The kids menu was fantastic which my 8 year old thoroughly enjoyed. We had the dinner with a view of St. Paul’s, we ordered duck for starters and lamb for mains, both delicious and appetizing. I recommend OXO tower for special occasion in addition to formal / casual dining, it is all worth it.

The food was was quite bland and one of our servers was very rude when we asked a question about a portion size of one of the sides. Won’t be returning.
