Review of Oxo Tower Restaurant:
Write your review
Readers may be divided over the success of the eclectic dishes at this rooftop venue owned by Harvey Nichols, but most agree that there is ‘just something so special’ about the place, making it an ideal destination for celebratory bashes. Service is ‘impeccable’ & amiable staff ensure that the atmosphere is ‘smart but not too stuffy’. There are ‘spectacular’ views from the terrace as the sun sets over the river, but make sure you ask for a table overlooking the embankment – in the other direction tower blocks at dusk are a far less picturesque prospect. Food is very elaborate, prompting criticisms of ‘style over substance’, but signature dishes such as fresh & crispy lobster tempura with daikon & wasabi or rich fillet of beef with cep purée, oxtail & truffle cream bon-bon show off the talents of the kitchen.
Wine List: This is a big, hefty list that has evolved over the years into one of London’s best. There is a great range by the glass, including six Champagnes. The classics of Bordeaux, Burgundy & the Rhône all catch the eye, as does the range of big bottles. A welcome innovation is the capping of service charge at £150 a bottle. Best Buy White 2004 Soave ‘La Rocca’, Pieropan, Veneto, Italy, £40. Best Buy Red 2005 Rully Premier Cru ‘Clos du Chapitre’, Vincent Dureuil-Janthial, Burgundy, France, £40.
