Oxo Tower Restaurant, South Bank

For a restaurant with a view, this has much to offer. You can request a window seat like I did, but you might with the same response - shunted to the back of the restaurant. I may be cynical, but I got the sense that they did this deliberately - there were numberous tables near the window whic remained unoccupied throughout.

Overall, the food was OK, but overpriced for the quality / portion size. The attentiveness of the waiting staff was consistently poor to average throughout a 3 course meal. I won't be hurrying back.

Superb food. Wonderful service, and the location is magnificent. Loads of fun to be had people watching too. All in all a terrific place to eat.

My fiance took me to the Oxo Tower for a celebratory meal and i have to say i was impressed. We started with cocktails on the terrace with stunning views across London, before moving inside for dinner. Everything we tried was delicious - especially dessert! The maitre'd, waiter and sommalier could not have been more helpful. I would highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere with wow factor for a special occasion.
