MBER Reviews Summary

Food Quality and Menu Options

Pros:

• "Enjoyable seating, reasonable price for City of London and that quality of food."
• "The seared scallops and broccoli were delicious too."
• "The food and drink is fantastic. Really high quality."
• "The soft shell crb tempura though was amazing and so was the peanut brittle dessert."
• "Sushi platter £34 but to be fair came with 5/6 decent size slices of salmon, tuna, and yellow fin tuna, i.e. 18 pieces in total, plus yuzu and shoyu dips."
• "Amazing place, brilliant food, kind and fast service, good atmosphere."
• "The food was excellent and very unusual. MBER is famous for its amazing seafood dishes."
• "This place is only good for work dinners and parties where it's paid with corporate cards and not for normal people."

Cons:

• "The duck bun was too dry."
• "The Wagyu Beef & Foie Gras Burger was a bit meh… I expected better and I found it to be quite dry."
• "The pickled lotus root was meh… the steak was not worth it at all…"
• "The massaman curry with jackfruit was incorrect, though. It lacked the characteristic nutty element of a massaman curry."
• "Half the menu was not available the day we visited. We were surprised to hear that dish after dish was not available…"
• "Terrible service. Gave us a terrible table despite other better seating available."
• "The black cod lacked the caramelised crust that would have really made it sing, and the beetroot salad was overwhelmingly acidic."
• "Mediocre food was served in a rush without no planning or explanation."

Service and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Service was 10/10. Our waiter was attentive, polite and extremely attractive."
• "We had great service and lovely food."
• "Service and staff were wonderful throughout and a massive thank you to Michal, Stefan and Georgi for making our visit extra special."
• "Had a fantastic evening at MBER, the food, drinks and service were of a high standard."
• "Great service and food generally good."
• "Absolutely divine dining experience. The pigs cheeks were a delicacy that elevates my childhood offal to meat."
• "Organised a business dinner for 11 people and everything was perfect. The service, the food, the cocktails - all 5 star!"
• "The staff were absolutely delightful - I accidentally smashed a cocktail (oops!) and they were so attentive, checking if I was okay."

Cons:

• "Mber do need to do some work on their bathroom though. There’s limescale around the taps and soap dispenser; & looks like it needs a bit of an updo."
• "Unfortunately, the food was below average. The Massamam vegetable curry sauce had a nice flavour, but the jackfruit used is tinned (it had a wet, slimey texture)."
• "The staff where lovely especially the front of house lady (spanish), it was nice having lunch in the city yet feeling totally secluded from the world due to the beautiful ambience of the restaurant."
• "Terrible service. Gave us a terrible table despite other better seating available. Was our anniversary dinner and told them in advance but they didn’t care."
