Looked amazing on the website, but the food portions were so small (even for high dining) and very over priced. There wasn’t much of a vibe. Service was good.

This was our first time dining at Hithe and Seek and we loved it. The menu comprises a selection of small plates designed for sharing and the food was beautifully presented and tasted absolutely delicious. And the interior design of the venue is beautiful and provides stunning views of the river Thames which makes for a complete dining experience.

Beautiful bar, amazing atmosphere and fantastic food! The waiters couldn’t be more attentive, we have a couple of small plates and cocktails while watching the sunset and the river boats go by. A hidden gem.

Drinks were made with high-value ingredients. Food menu did not indicate it was bar snacks (the booking did not make clear this was a bar rather than a restaurant), and price was not commensurate to the food ordered. Service was adequate, improving after issues were raised.

Their cocktail-making lessons are a highlight—fun, informative, and hands-on, leaving you with both skills and stories to share. On forgetting a relaxed atmosphere with fabulous views of the river. Complementing the drinks is their exquisite food menu, filled with beautifully prepared dishes that perfectly pair with the cocktails.

We visited your establishment for the very first time, and it worked out to be exactly what we wanted. Amazing views, great service, our waiter Christian was very informative, he explained the menu and was super welcoming and friendly. This is what you expect from a waiter but Christian was a cut above. My colleague and I totally applaud you on what you have created at Hithe & Seek. Thank you for a great evening, and please do pass on our thanks to Christian..

This was my second experience at the wine bar. I was attracted to the spot as it is located in the westin hotel where I was staying. The portions are small and the quality is just ok. For the price, I would expect slightly larger portions or higher quality. The ambiance is also just ok it was very noisy so I couldn’t feel relaxed and enjoy the views. Overall if you are looking for a convenient spot and are interested in pairing wine with a few small plates this is the spot for you
