"We stopped at this pretty terrace along The Thames, whilst walking our dog. Shared a delicious club sandwich with my husband and they even put it on two plates for us. Baileys iced lattes were lovely. We were served by Magda who was very friendly and she even offered to get us some water for our dog."

"Lovely riverside restaurant inside a hotel; a tad difficult to see from the street. Had excellent burgers and steak frites along with some starters. desserts and drinks. The food was tasty and delivered quickly, and the service was excellent and cordial. The open air terrace overlooking the Thames on a sunny Sunday afternoon was fantastic. Would definitely dine here again."

"Lovely staff and a stunning view of the river. Staff were amazing, I particularly remember a lady with an accent being really kind as well as a younger lady. The man who served me on the bar was also really kind and helpful. Food was great and above average for portion sizes so definitely did not feel hungry after dinner. Lovely wine selection. Only negative was the chunky chips ordered with the fish were slightly undercooked however this was only a small portion of them. Fish was cooked and battered to perfection. I ordered the beyond meat burger and chips meal and got a veggie patty instead of beyond meat, it was disappointing but the patty was okay. Just a shame they didn’t update their menu or inform customers before hand."
