    The view was amazing. I went to a black out dinner but it was quite sparsely lit - we were charged a premium for it so just don’t think it was good value. The service was fantastic

    Fabio was outstanding with his service and the food was truly delicious and a worthy of a 28 year wedding anniversary treat

    Wonderful location with great view of the power station. Staff were friendly but service was slow. We had to wait a long time to give our order and to get the bill. Tapas were good but main meals were disappointing. 15% service was added which in my opinion is too high for London especially given the level of service. Will go back for the bar and views but probably not to dine.

    Great location with stunning views. Very quiet on a Tuesday night and service was a bit slow. However the team was extremely attentionate and comp’d us desserts as a way of apologising. I would love to come back when busier!

    We were made to feel very unwelcome by the staff who took a dislike to us as soon as we arrived.

    Very terrible service culture among the managers, as they treat people very poorly. We booked our table at the bar area for drinks, as we went up the lift, but knew already there were availabilities as shown on Open Table. When we got upstairs the restaurant receptionist didn’t find our names in the system yet and told us they were full and sat us at the bar, even though we know there were spaces from the app. He eventually let us in after our we enquired again, and our name popped up on his system. We were seated on a high table that was rather wobbly and not as relaxed, so we asked from the onset to the bar manager to move us to a lower table when one becomes available. We watched, over 2+ hours, 5 low tables leave and be empty while they wait for new people to arrive. Each time we asked to be moved to one of those tables, and each time the manager lied about why she can’t in a way that was so apparent. It was very inconsiderate and disrespectful, as if she doesn’t really care whether you leave or stay. We used to come here every other week last year. With the new management style they have now, I think we will stop returning.

    I booked Joia for birthday drinks - it’s a beautiful bar but service was disappointing - our waiter spilled sparkling wine on three of my guests and removed drinks which weren’t finished from the table. At the end of the night we were given a bill that included someone else’s tapas. For the prices we paid for drinks, I’d expect much better service.

    I will start from the good points, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was overpriced and misleading. The octopus salad was ok tasty and decent portion but still 19 pounds for few pieces of octopus is a lot. Now to the mains, where I felt really ripped off, I had what was described as “Salted cod, potatoes, parsley, egg, black olives” mind that was 28 pounds and was in reality a nicely presented fried potato with 4 flakes of cod and a yolk of an egg on top. These must have been the most expensive nicely presented shredded potatoes with the cod nowhere to be found and a tiny smear or olives. To top it off while the restaurant is positioned as high end you had people coming from the spa with their bathrobes in the bar. Really if you want some nice pictures for instagram is the place for you sorry just pretentious and overpriced.
