"I 've visited La Cave several times in the last 5 years and last night will be my last. About 6 months ago I ate dinner with a friend and the speed of service was painfully slow. I wrote that off as a bad experience, as the standard of food was really high for the price band. Last night however, with a full restaurant, we were made to wait 15 minutes to order, 30 minutes for starters and and hour for main course to arrive. Apparently disinterested staff, and not enough of them, is a fatal combination. Also, they are all French nationals which may be a nice touch for a French restaurant but I wasn 't convinced that their level of English was sufficient to take an order accruately. The quality of food also dropped a notch on this visit. Disappointing Crusty Egg starter and an average fillet steak- nothing special. Side dishes weren 't even suggested by the staff therefore we ended up with a pretty disappointing helping of food once it came. All in all, a really disappointing experience for a table of eight people. Won 't be going back, which is a real shame because it 's well located for my commute."

This Resteraunt is one of the best kept secrets in London. It is situated under London bridge just off Borough High Street. The food is absolutely amazing, reasonably priced and a must visit Resteraunt for a special occasion.

Visited La Cave on the spur of the moment after 5 years of meaning to and very glad that I did. Lovely relaxed atmosphere backed up with lovely food, good wine and good service. I will be going back...for dinner, wine and cheese!

Sitting outside on a hot summer evening, traffic noise diffused by trees, comfortable seating and friendly service. Good bistro menu, as well as fuller dinner menu plenty of choice, some unusual French dishes. Wine rather pricey, so opt for house carafe very acceptable!

I wish I had got to eating here. I booked a table for a romantic lunch here through Top Table. Having travelled 40 miles from Kent we arrived at the allotted time only to find the place closed with workmen refitting it. If a restaurant cannot change its online booking system to show its inavailability it's not worth going to.

Small courtyard respite below the London Bridge adjacent to the Southwark Cathedral and Borough Market. The outside wine bar menu was quite nice in pairing with the wine and ale list. Plenty of outside noise flows into this off the path courtyard but quiet in terms of bankside foot traffic. Try the charcuterie offerings. Next time we visit, we'll focus on dinner fare. I'm sure it will not disappoint. View menu

Booked for a lunch. Decor after the recent refurb was good BUT... standard glass of wine for £6 you get 125cl the smallest glass in London. Absolute rip off. I had the beef and ordered medium but came more well done. Wasn't able to digest this cow and most of my meal had to be swallowed in large chunks due to its toughness. All in all a shame as this could easily be better but for £64 for starter and main coffee and one drink each, better value at the Pizza Express next door.

We found this place by accident as we were looking for somewhere to have lunch before going up The Shard. The courtyard was a shady haven on a hot, sunny day.I ordered a Perrier and was a bit surprised when the waiter came back and said they'd run out. I asked for something else and twenty minutes later had to ask another waiter for the drink.There weren't many food choices on the menu which was a bit of shame. I went for a simple choice Croque Monsieur but couldn't have it as they'd got no cheese! Given that the place is next to Borough Market, how difficult would it have been to go and buy some more?We then ordered more drinks and after another long delay, our server came back and admitted...
