John's Reviews

Went more for an early evening snack than full meal, so we tried some of their dim sum options and cocktails. Both were excellent, both in design and taste (pumpkin dim sum came in a crispy shell shaped like a pumpkin with a cucumber stalk! very clever). Cocktails were also very impressive, so will have to go back to try some more at some point.

Service was great, both when we got there (and it was practically empty) until we left (when the place was practically heaving) so definitely rate the staff on that one.

Overall would recommend to others and definitely return to at some point.

While searching for a Sushi place south of High Street Ken, I managed to stumble across this gem. Restaurant looks really decent which is a good start. It's not busy early in the eve (7ish) but gets busier nearer 9 (apparently with regulars). Note they do a 2 hour table turn (which they advise when booking by phone), but to be fair it wasn't busy enough for them to actually commit to it on the eve we went.

The staff were really down to earth and friendly, which is certainly a bonus. The menu is not the largest but certainly has a range of flavours. Note that the SquareMeal suggestion of their Tuna is no longer an option – there's a note on the menu saying they no longer serve tuna due to it's endangered status.

We ordered two of the sushi platters plus a tempura set. One thing to note – other than one or two items, the rest of the platters all contain identical fish nigiri, so if we return we will probably select individual items rather than more than one platter options. As a party of 3, it was impressive to see that despite the menu suggesting there would be 2 of each item, some items on the platters came in 3's, which I always take to be a sign of a good restaurant.

And their cocktail menu is certainly worth a gander – I only managed 2 items from it but would certainly go back again (I recommend the Venison and dark chocolate martini – no it doesn't contain any animals but it tasted lovely and had dark chocolate chunk in the bottom instead of an olive)

Overall I was really impressed with the place and would definitely go back – need to try more of the chefs specials (spicy salmon roll is also recommended), and some of there actual plate options. Thumbs up!

Went here partly for the view, partly because I fancied somewhere different. Staff were friendly and non intrusive, though avoid asking for a recommendation on the menu as you won't get one. Food was lovely, sea bass cooked stunningly and the lamb had amazing flavour. Presentation was excellent. Cocktails were also lovely and worth sampling.

The view speaks for itself, covering all the way from the gherkin across passed battersea power station, then another view along the south side. The terrace also overlooks their 6th floor garden which is cool. I suspect in warmer weather the terrace seats are fairly popular. It is clear that you pay a slight premium for the view but then that's partly why you'd come here.

Overall a really nice experience, would definitely go back, and would recommend to others.

We've eaten here a couple of times now, once on mother's day and once for a birthday. The food is lovely, the menu is always quite interesting – they appear to cater for all tastes, and their vegetarian option always looks tempting. The venue looks great and is well spaced out – not cramped like some places. It's a small venue, probably sitting 60 people max I think. And it's worth having a dessert, haven't been disappointed so far.

Worth noting is there's no steps to get into the main restaurant, in case disabled access etc is a requirement. Only downside for me is out of the two times we've been when I booked the latest time the attendant on the phone was a bit too patronising and assumed too much for my liking, which is a shame because the place itself is worth a visit if you ignore that. The service at the restaurant is impeccable and friendly though.
