Oxo Tower Restaurant

I booked this restaurant to mark my friend's 60th birthday and I needed somewhere near The Globe Theatre so that we could have a special lunch and then get to the play on time.

It scored 10 out of 10 on all fronts!

The menu was comprehensive with something for everyone's palate. The service was attentive without being overbearing. The food was delicious and the presentation superb: they even thought to deliver the dessert for my friend with a candle and Happy Birthday message- a lovely touch.

I actually wrote to the restaurant to thank them- we all spend so much time being critical that it is just nice, when you can, to say thank you!

The set three course menu was excellent value and I would certainly go there again!

Well done to all the staff at The Oxo Tower Restaurant.

My wife and I had lunch today with dear friends from Scotland. We had a wonderful meal with delicious, interesting food, lovely wines and helpful friendly staff. We have eaten here on 3 previous occasions and have always enjoyed our meal but this was specially good.

We dined at the OXO tower last Friday evening as two couples. Firstly I would like to say the food was excellent and so was the wine (although our choice was expensive). However the service was appalling. On three occasions during he evening, one of us had something spilt on us.

The last spillage occurred when a waiter clearing the table knocked a glass of port over and most of its contents went onto my friend's designer handbag. The waiter didn't notice what he had done and when it was pointed out to him he simply shrugged and said he was 'clearing the table'. There was no apology for his actions.

As a result of the poor service we requested 25% off the bill, which was met with an offer of a free glass of wine each, which we refused. Eventually we did obtain the reduction from the meal, but only after being made to wait over 1/2 hour.

After the disappointing attitude of those serving us, we will not be dining at this restaurant again I'm afraid.

I had been wanting to visit the Oxo Restaurant for some time, it was by far one of the best dining experiences I have had. My husband took me for my birthday, and the restaurant were aware and made me feel very special, and I had the most amazing birthday cake!

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, the service was amazing, the staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect!!

My family and I dined at the Oxo Restaurant, one week before Christmas and it was one of the best evenings, we have had in along time!

The Restaurant was busy with Christmas parties but was not overbearing and gave a lovely atmosphere to the Restaurant.

The food was excellent and I would recommend the Beef dish for main course.

The whole family had a lovely experience and we would definately return.

We also enjoyed the Brasserie Bar after our dinner - which was also very lovely.

Five of us went to this delightful restaurant for our daughter's birthday. It was an OUTSTANDING experience. The setting on the 8th floor of the tower provides stunning views across the river to St Pauls and other landmarks. Go early and get a table beside the window. The food is highly creative and beautifully presented. The service is immaculate. This is a high end restaurant and you pay accordingly, but it is not over priced for what you get. Allowing for wine and service, it will cost £70-90 per head.

I took my wife to the OXO tower for her 40th birthday for lunch. From walking in to walking out we were made to feel welcome and special.

The service was superb -attentive without being intrusive.

The food was excellent, the ingredients well thought through and presented very well.

Whilst we stuck to house wine, it too did the job very nicely - a Pinot Noir with the beef starter and a Sancerre with fish main course. We skipped the Champagne at £11.75 per glass (yes, glass!).

Otto and his team should be congratulated. In terms of service, food and atmosphere, the word 'stylish' fits perfectly
