Beautiful romantic restaurant and stunning decor. Food delicious although slightly small portion sizes, and I felt that the pork (main course on the set lunch menu) should have come with at least some vegetables, without needing to order an extra side. However, the service was great, staff lovely, and overall a memorable experience for our anniversary. We will definitely go back for special occasions!

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.
