Best Lunch Restaurants in Southbank

Delicious food and drink. Good service. Was given a free complimentary dessert with a candle for my birthday which was a lovely gesture. Exorbitant prices - but we knew that when we booked it.

Lovely restaurant in a great location. Plenty to choose from and enjoyed the variety. Food could have been hotter but still tasted nice. Service was ok but not very attentive. The manager appeared stressed out because of the staff issues. Was surprised that service charge was added to our bill which appeared more than 10% of total bill and also it was serve yourself but the manager was very helpful in amending the bill for us. We left happy and fully fed.

First time back at the Oxo Tower for 20+ years and wasn’t disappointed. Great atmosphere and friendly service with fab views across the Thames to St Pauls. Food was good rather than exceptional, and the bread and nibbles came out with the starters. Nonetheless, a lovely evening enjoyed by the whole family.

Enjoyed my food but did find the soup salty and the herb gnocchi a little unusual in flavour.. Not sure if would order again. Waitresses were interesting, one slightly stressed serving.. Who then forgot to bring me cutlery for my main course and the lady looking after us was a little too keen to get us out the door which is a shame as we were paying customers and no one said anything re a time limit on our table. Sad to say my experience overall was not great..

My 3 guests (family and friend) had a nice dinner starting fairly early 7pm on a weekday following afternoon theatre. We shared starters including fish tacos and smoked salmon which were all tasty. Diverse mains of pork chop, bone-in sole and mushroom pie were also appreciated and amply portioned. There was a bit of a lull between the starters and mains but our waiter took noticed and followed up. A good and convenient place to dine when you are out on the South Bank.
