Review of Rhodes Twenty Four: ? Write your own review

Gorgeous, but vertigo-inducing views through floor-to-ceiling windows provide plenty of visual distraction at Gary Rhodes’ City eyrie on the 24th floor of the former NatWest Tower. The tasteful, contemporary interior is chic but deliberately low key, allowing the food to steal the show with its robust modern British flavours. Start perhaps with potted English rabbit, potato & smoked bacon salad, or the highly rated lobster omelette, ahead of poached saddle of venison with globe artichokes & summer truffle, or the much-publicised steamed mutton suet pudding. Vegetarians have only a single choice at each course. Desserts encompass the straightforward reassurance of bread & butter pudding as well as the sharp fruity invention of blood orange tart with sloe gin ice cream. Prestige French AOCs predictably dominate the wine list, which misses a trick by failing to showcase up-&-coming English growers. Staff sometimes need to pull their socks up. Simpson’s Tavern

Chef: Gary Rhodes

Rhodes Twenty Four’s Chef - Rhodes 24 chef Gary Rhodes

Regarded by some as the daddy of modern British cuisine, Gary Rhodes’s reinvention of British classics in the 1990s, coupled with his enthusiastic television work, refocused the spotlight on our culinary heritage. Since winning his first Michelin star at the Castle Hotel in Taunton in 1986, Rhodes has opened a succession of popular restaurants rooted in his classical technique. Today he oversees seven internationally, including London’s Michelin-starred sites Rhodes 24 and Rhodes W1, which gained its star in January 2008. He has written more than 20 cookbooks and starred in almost 20 television series. In 2006, he was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List. He has also appeared on Strictly Come Dancing.

I have eaten in some fine restaurants and the food at Twenty Four did not disappoint, it was one of the best meals I've had the pleasure to eat. A conical of delicious creamed potato complemented scallops cooked to perfection. The bread and butter pudding is to die for. It's an adventure just getting into the restaurant and the views are wonderful (even if you don't get a window seat). The staff were warm and friendly and the recommended wine was perfect. I have to admit I didn't see the bill but I'm sure it was worth every penny. There's also time for a kiss on the way down in the lift.

Went for our anniversary dinner. Strange decor. Lovely evening. Great views. Food beautifully presented – but miniscule portions especially considering price! Service courteous & attentive. Dessert sharing plate was delicious, 3 dishes of generous size compared to main course!

Amazing. Food was perfect – Foie Gras, followed by Skate Wings (OMG amazing!) and then the signature pudding selection. Would quite happily eat here everyday for the rest of my life. Service was so attentive but not annoyingly so. Views were fabulous. Atmosphere a little bit stuffy … but that was mainly because we were stuck next to a table of grump Americans. Absolutely wonderful evening had by all – make sure you have a few glasses of bubbly in Vertigo 42 before you come here for dinner!!

Stunning view as can be expected but a dissapointing menu and though the food is very well presented it's taste does not match it's appearance or price. One senses it's the view one is paying for and it is arguable it is worth it should you have cause to impress.
