Boasting an unparalleled view of the River Thames, this restaurant occupies a chic location within the expansive Southbank Center. The interior offers an airy and modern atmosphere, drawing diners into a sophisticated space adorned with elegant table settings and large windows that frame picturesque vistas. The culinary offerings span from a tantalizing set menu to à la carte selections, featuring dishes such as the Royal Benedict, lemon and thyme grilled chicken, and a renowned sirloin steak. For those seeking lighter fare, the menu also includes options like a prawn cocktail and a faithful rendition of a classic chicken Caesar salad. The establishment caters to varied dietary preferences with a commendable assortment of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Guests are treated to attentive service, from servers adept at recalling large orders to thoughtful surprises for special occasions. Enhancing the dining experience is the weekend brunch, where bottomless Prosecco and live saxophone music add a festive touch. Regulars might notice slight mismatches in food quality or over-the-top ambiance during peak brunch hours, yet frequent visitors return for the consistent flavors and inviting service. The proximity to cultural landmarks ensures it remains a popular choice for pre-theater dinners and celebratory gatherings alike.
