High Timber

This restaurant was new to me, and if you are offered or book the right table, you get a river view, if you don't mind being stared at by passing pedestrians. The space is airy, and overall the food was tasty and well presented. The City is not an ideal hunting ground for decent restaurants, so this was a welcome find.

However, we suffered from being served by a member of staff who, frankly, gave us the creeps; he was also neither pleasant nor efficient. Eventually, I had to tell the manager, who acted promptly in replacing him from serving our table. She told us that he had worked there for a number of years, so perhaps we had an unfortunate experience. Certainly the rest of the staff were fine - efficient yet friendly. However, I did not expect the manageress to be so insensitive as add a service charge to our bill, but it was deducted when drawn to her attention.

Would I eat there again? Probably, but I would try the other restaurants in the vicinity first.
