"I found this on TripAdvisor since I wanted something near the Tower of London for lunch on our last day. We arrived without a reservation but were promptly seated. I found the place a little stuffy with lots of business people all dressed up having their working lunches-some more liquid than solid, if you know what I mean! My other half had Tomato Basil Soup plus a Chix Bacon sandwich. I had the Chicken Schnitzel. I had 2 beers-a London Pride and an Italian Birra Moretti draught. My other half had a glass of D 'hill Chenin Blanc. I had hope for more choices of local ale, beer, but they kept pushing the Amstel? Food was ok, but I was hungry a few hours later! I think I 'll pass on this and similar type places next time and just find a local, everyday type pub where Onslow from Keeping Up Appearances would hang out! Two additional comments: 1) I did like the Gin Bear It ' sign 2) Be careful because they add on a 10% service charge regardless of the quality of service-our was average so 10% was ok"

Sonyas Sandwich Bar is the reason I like to come here. She makes delightful sandwiches! Fully filled with fresh ingredients and well presented. Perfect for any occasion.

The expectation is met just a bite and something nice to wash it down with. The fact that they got our order wrong and we profited from free extra sandwiches that we hadn't ordered was a plus. An accessible semi basement bar which did all it needed to.

First time for my friends and I . The welcome and on going service was exceptional . The Vegetarian sharing board was divine As the two bottle of Vidal. Price wise was good. I don't mind to pay a bit more for a good quality and great atmosphere . I will definitely book again with Gabriele as my company have 25% discaunt in January :

Recently had our work Christmas party here. It's a nicely decorated venue, located close to a number of central stations, however the food was not amazing. Most of the vegetables accompanying our Christmas dinners were on the raw side of al dente (carrots and sprouts). The food also came out in batches, meaning that some colleagues had finished before others had started. That said, the DJ was ok and the dance floor had some good vibes.

We went here for lunch and ordered two hot sandwiches off of the menu. The sausage ciabatta was burnt and the toastie was ridiculously small and wasn 't worth £8. We then at the end asked to split the bill and that was apparently a problem. I asked to pay by cash and the waitress rolled her eyes and said 'just put it on the table ' no manners at all. Avoid at all cost. If you 're wanting to go to a Balls Brothers go to the one at The Gherkin.

1st time here, very busy, waited a while to be shown to a table ordered prosecco which was very nice and we both ordered sandwiches my rare beef sandwich was delicious! The bread was very fresh and plenty of filling, we shared a portion of chips! Not offered any condiments for the chips so had to go up to the kitchen/bar area ourselves to find some! No one asked how our lunch was and no one refilled our glasses! The bill had 10 percent service charge which I did not feel should be charged as the service was very poor!

I came here for dinner on a Monday night with three of my work colleagues; besides us, there was only one other table being served which should have been a warning sign. Despite the lack of guests, the wait staff was pretty bad: after delivery of most of our drinks we had to call the waitress back over after ten minutes to deliver the rest of our order, we ordered still water – and specifically requested no gas – and received a bottle of sparkling water. The food was not memorable and just average. I’m not real sure how this place stays open with the lack of customers and the lack of service, etc., would rate it as just “ok” and I would give this place a pass in the future.
