Decided to take a friend out for a meal and was out to impress, so selected Top Floor at SOS on the basis of strong recommendations from friends and colleagues.
The service was excellent. I cannot stress enough how good the staff were; Friendly, attentive, polite, helpful… these people went out of their way to make us feel comfortable.
The food was superb. I had the halibut with lobster mash, which was beautifully presented and very tasty. I had the pastel de nata with raspberries for dessert which, as someone who has consumed a lot of egg custard tarts in their life, was *perfect*.
Everyone remembers this place for the view, and even with a seat from the back of the room it's quite something.
Wine on the top floor is expensive, but like everything else on the top floor – you get what you pay for.
The total was just over £100 for two of us (two courses, dessert, bottle of wine and coffee), which, for a premiere resteraunt in central London, was pretty much expected.
****Highly recommended****
(A warning – the bread comes with no bread plate. It's ‘rustic’ apparently. The uptight might find the prospect of holding a bit of crusty bread frightening. It's OK to drop crumbs. Really. Your mum isn't watching.)
