   Lovely place for lunch around Southwark. Nice view rooftop and a little Mediterranean garden ambience would be perfect for quick brunch with friends in the summer time. While lobster rice was delicious!

   Certainly! Here's a more formal version of your feedback: --- I have dined at Seabird on more than six occasions, and each visit has always been exceptional in both food quality and service. However, during my recent visit on Sunday, I encountered several issues that I felt were important to bring to your attention. The food that was served to us was unfortunately cold, and the level of service was notably below the standard I have come to expect from your establishment. In addition, there was a discrepancy regarding the closing time. One of the waitresses informed us that Seabird closes at 00:00, which we confirmed prior to ordering. However, after placing an order for two cocktails for the terrace at 23:10, we were informed just five minutes later that we had to leave because the restaurant was closing at 23:00. We were then asked to pay for the cocktails, which we were unable to enjoy, as we had to leave shortly after they were served. Given my prior positive experiences, this was a disappointing visit, and I wanted to share this feedback with you in the hope that it may help improve service in the future.

   Negative experience. The quality has dropped significantly compared to the previous years.

   Lovely food & ambiance. Hostess was very friendly. Our server was kind and polite but lack in wine/champagne etiquette. Other than that. Everything else was amazing

   My fiance chose this place because of the scenery and of the food. The food was between decent and discrete ( as an Italian foodie, I quite difficult when I have to taste Italian like dishes). For example, in the Lobster Rice, the tomato sauce and the other ingredients were covering the lobster so you could not really taste it. Past with scallop was more than decent. Cousteau was really great. Now let's talk about tables and waiters... We made a reservation but it was not possible to book a table outside ( we specified this in the reservation as well). When we arrived, we asked to stay outside, it was such a lovely day but they told us it was already full and eventually they could move us out later. However, later we saw a few tables outside that were empty but when we asked to be moved, they told us they could not that first they need to talk with someone.

    Did not disappoint! I discovered Seabird on a list of great oyster spots in London. It was all that and more. Service and food were exceptional. Oh the baked scallops! Swoon. My first experience with oysters in the UK and will be a repeat. The server mapped out the best oyster options for me. Loved every minute of our anniversary dinner here!
