Best Date Night Restaurants in Bankside

The food was great, and the ambience was calm, with conversations and the usual restaurant noise, which was nice. The only down-fall was the service. It was slow and rather inattentive. We first ordered the drinks, and they send us the wrong drinks, once this was changed; We received the mains, however, the cutlery was not changed and we had to stand up and ask at the bar/staff section to change this for us (after trying to call the waiters to change this for us). After the mains, we also had to wait a long time before they would ask us if we wanted any desserts or coffees. We ordered lovely desserts! However, before we did, the waiter brought us one menu of the Bar Nibbles, instead of three dessert menus... Once we finished our desserts, we asked for the bill (which we also had to stand up to get as no waiters were looking around the tables)... and to our surprise, the bill was also wrong, which we flagged to the manager (also having to stand up, instead of the staff looking around the tables). I went back to the table hoping that they would bring the corrected bill... which never really came! We had to ask if we could pay before we left!! (some other people might not do this and it'd be a business losing money!) Instead of the waiter taking the payments, they simply left us with the card reader for us to sort out!! At that point we were truly considering not paying.... It was the cherry on top. It's a shame as the food is lovely and the atmosphere is great! But the service was truly poor and not up to a minimum standard.

Excellent selection of dishes. The hand carved iberico ham was my favourite. We sat at the counter and enjoyed seeing the chef and team working their magic. We were looked after by Sandra who was engaging and helpful - a great evening and highly recommended.

This place is so cute. Love the note sending thing and all the staff and so fun and friendly.

Really delicious, outstanding quality of food. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. A lovely evening.

The staff was extremely attentive and made the dinner enjoyable throughout. The food was fresh and delicious, and the chefs explained the ingredients and flavors to us. They brought our dessert with a candle for one of our birthdays :) It was a lovely dinner, and we will visit again.
