"I was really looking forward going to this restaurant after the Canary Wharf light display. However I was left fairly underwelmed by the whole experience. I had booked the online £20 2 course menu plus a cocktail. When we arrived there none of the staff seemed to be the slightest bit aware that I had booked this offer. They seemed slightly unsure what to do and it felt a bit as if we were left to fend for ourselves. We had to ask several times what the cocktail was and also the set menu was very limited. (On the website it doesn't tell you what the set menu). We had to wait a long time for our food, and when it did arrive it was luke warm and not piping hot as you would expect. Also, my friend who ordered the fish was very disappointed with the tiny portion that she was given and had to order a side dish of chunky chips to go with it as it came with very little. The puddings however were really nice. And almost made up for the evening if I am honest. I think the biggest let down for me was the place. It just didn't have the wow factor for me. I was expecting Butlers Wharf Chop House or Plateau but it was very minimal and stark and didn't have a warm atmosphere at all. The staff were friendly, and tried their best, but something didn't quite add up with this place and the price of the meal. I don't think I would rush there when there are so many other restaurants to choose from."

"overall a bad experience and unfortunately not the first. Once we have been here and wait for an hour, between the end of our starter and waiting for our main decision we decided to give him another. I wish we hadn't! first, the restaurant was cold. there. no heating seemed to be and a person on our table even felt the need to hold their coat all over. when it came to order, we were very disappointed that the options from the menu were limited with hardly anything “left”, I would not expect that for a 7pm table and a practically empty restaurant. the fact that it was essentially only 2 appetizers to choose, with a specials option (which turned out to be open bland and tasteless) was terrible. there were no fish dishes to decide for the net were only the choice of two overpriced steaks or a burger! dessert choices were also very bad. we tried to make the best of the bad situation, but our bill came just under £200, which absolutely shocking for such bad food choices and quality of food when served. against the end of our booking the employees cleaned up, muted and corded down the sitting areas near us, as if they wanted us to go, as they wanted home! it is far away that we want to order additional drinks, so we ask for the bill. the only positive experience of our evening was the waitress, a young girl. although initially very nervous and chaotic she was a pleasant girl. After we have received the restaurant without reply or confirmation by e-mail, we will not return, nor will we recommend to others."
