Garden Rooftop Reviews Summary

Atmosphere & Decor

Pros:

• "The interior and atmosphere is very warm and inviting, I could stay there for hours."
• "The decor was lovely with flowers everywhere and we were warmly greeted."
• "Lovely views out over London, with nicely done interior."
• "The restaurant was nice and decorative, but there seemed to be quite a few stained seat cushions and walls which ruined the aesthetic."

Cons:

• "No vibe to speak of really. Because it was so quiet, the staff spent their time joking and laughing with each other."
• "Beautiful views, but that's about all this place has going for it. Don't be fooled by the lovely photos, this place is worn and tired, in need of a major face lift."
• "The furniture is stained and dirty along with the walls."
• "Don't be fooled by the view. Not much variety of food, the food we wanted to order ended up not being available."

Service

Pros:

• "Very attentive waiter, great food, and excellent evening views."
• "The service was very good, the staff were very attentive, always checking up on us."
• "Service was quick and super friendly - the cocktails were VERY good."
• "Luigi was a fantastic server, he made us feel very welcome from entering to waving goodbye."

Cons:

• "Service was friendly but slow."
• "Half the bar is reserved as a restaurant, so we sat at the large tables in front of the bar - which although totally empty still seemed to confuse the staff somewhat."
• "The waiter said that there wasn't a vegan menu and offer hummus and bruschetta only!"
• "When I asked for the check and had to wait 20 min (I was the last customer) because the manager was casually speaking and laughing with the chef."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was great and the menu offers a wide variety of options for all tastes."
• "Food and drinks were great, I literally cannot fault this place."
• "The food was absolutely delicious!!! We had 3 starters (too many) lol: Artichokes with feta, Burrata caprese, Calamari with aioli."
• "Everything came out with perfect timing and everyone was very happy with their meals. Desserts and drinks were excellent also."

Cons:

• "The reviews were mixed from our group, my pasta was delicious (steaks not the best I was told)."
• "The food and drinks are way overpriced. 18 pounds for a cocktail. The food options are very limited."
• "The food was lovely, a little underwhelming for the price but it was nice if you like wholesome Italian food."
• "I ordered the steak and you would get a better steak from Wetherspoons. It was poor quality meat that tasted like rubber."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "As a group of 6 we had starters and mains, some had desserts, we all had drinks and cocktails too - I thought £100 a head, including our tip, a head was a good price for London."
• "Wouldn’t have expected such a great find in such a touristy central area. Food was tasty and special without being super expensive."
• "Fabulous views over London, better than some of the high end restaurants I've previously eaten in. Amazing Italian food and very reasonable price."
• "This rooftop restaurant is a wonderful experience. Pricey, yes. However, it's fine dining and it's London so you can expect it."

Cons:

• "Drinks were plain and on the pricey side - and they were out of a lot of things when we were there."
• "The view is very nice but that’s about it. The food and drinks are way overpriced."
• "The prices charged are for a very elite restaurant but the food is pub quality. Complete waste of money."
• "We ordered a glass of wine (£9) and a white wine spritzer which we were charged £16 for."
