The Banana Store, Restaurant, bar and Gallery Review

Great service, great views and great food. The house red was excellent as well and the live music topped it off. I am looking forward to going back in the summer and getting out on the terrace.

Great view over the Thames. Very good food and very courteous staff.

everything abt this is just awesome but a bit pricy

We showed up at 8 o'clock at night without a reservation. They found us a beautiful seat on the balcony with the most wonderful views in the world. The food was outstanding. Have not a badd word to say about our experience at Oxo Tower Restaurant.

Food okay, nothing too special, slightly disappointing as I expected better.

Views are very good although terrace was closed when we were there.
Live music was good but a tad loud so bear that in mind.

We was surprised from the good service still on the welcome reception!
Our waiter and junior waiter were on the table as soon as some look at them or the glass of wine needed top up. Soon as the first dish from our 4 meal course arrived I was sure the food will be amazing and yes the lam
starter was absolutely perfect cooked following from cod dish that was festive for the mouth with the delicious chestnut mushrooms.
We will back again. Thank you.

Well want can I say great views reasonably priced for the area .
A must if in the area!

Food is incredible, I've eaten here twice and absolutely loved the food both times. The view and live music makes for a great atmosphere, guaranteed good evening out!

Great views but will have to remortgage your house if you plan on spending an evening here

Love, live, love it here. Lunch time is the best, service food, vino just out if this world. Views are pretty special too x

Exceptional environment. Food is very good and so is service. The view and the position are outstanding.

Love the food and desserts, would have been more satisfying if the portions were bigger :-)

The restaurant is top notch but expensive. The bar is a great place, superb cocktails, great fish and chips and views. But it's smart and stylish so please dress up!!

Busy, slow service and over-priced ...but great views.

Very good excellent food, unmatched service, beautiful place

Delicious food and cocktails if not a little pricey. Excellent service.

We just had drinks here but the waiter was fantastic. Could not be more helpful & the cocktails are lovely. Plus the view is amazing

Great view, great service, excellent food and a really good wine list! Even though we booked at peak time in July, we were seated out on the balcony within minutes of the booked time and the waiters really looked after us well. Can t wait to go back again!!

The food is good but nothing to write home about. The service was so so.... and the view is overrated

Dined at the Oxo Tower Brasserie to celebrate my birthday with my friends and it was an amazing experience. From the front desk to the food, service and personal service from the waiter (Mark) and Manager (Armi) you couldn't fault it. Everyone went out of their way to make our dining experience extra special. Thank you so much. We will be back soon!

A bit pricey but you paid for the excellent river view. Food is acceptable! And excellent service!

!

Very good food, atmosphere, and service.
Except from the head waitress who came across rude and who didn't care about pur experience.

One of the best restaurants I ve been to!
Stylish, superb food, lovely staff, beautiful views of the city, wonderful atmosphere and live music... I can go on and on.
Keep up the good work!

Great Afternoon Tea - including a Vegan option- with wonderful view across Thames

Great view, delicious food, good hospitality. So I would always come back.

Wagyu beef burger is the best burger I have ever had. Staff are great, helpful. Place is clean, tidy and view is perfect

Great work pit stop. The view is always breathtaking and staff really looked after me. Highly reccomend if you're on the south bank.

Came here while visiting London, what can I say,,, the building isn't nothing special outside, Inside has a lovely calm feel from the hustle of London. Good view from the top. It does have a restaurant in the upper floor but only for those that can afford it lol,

The staff kept interrupting the conversation. Otherwise food is very good.

Been here a few times for "not afternoon tea" and for dinner. The views of London are amazing and the service is always spot on.

Good food & service! Loved this restaurant with views of the Thames & central London.

Expensive but the location is perfect , good food, great service

Great restaurant, great location, great food/wine.. recommend it.

Business casual lunch vibe with a great view. Very professional and friendly service staff all dressed in black. Had the salmon 'salad' and mushroom on toast with soft boiled hen egg. Both were delicious, but the mushroom dish was the clear winner.

Very run-down place, needs a refurb. Bad service with rude staff. Sunday roast was not good.

Great place. I didn't go there for drinks and food, but they have a great visitor platform on the 8th floor, where you have a beautiful view over the city. Especially at night its a stunning view. Definitely worth to visit. Best of all you don't have to pay for it. Just take the elevator up to 8th floor and turn right.

I can't comment on the rest of the establishment but the restaurant was really good. Modern and spacious with a good menu and excellent food. The balcony seating with a view of the river would be lovely on a summers' day.

Cocktails were great and food in the restaurant amazing! Not the biggest menu but nice

Excellent food and great view, especially off the rooftop patio.

We went here just for a drink. Great place with an anazing view and a great service

The OXO tower restaurant is located in a superb and unique location which deserves food of the highest quality. Unfortunately the restaurant does not deliver on this promise and frankly it would not have survived this long if it had not been for the view. On the plus side the service is faultless and did I mention the view?

Huge lunch portion of food and yummy. Although very oily !

Nice setting - 8th floor restaurant overlooking the Thames.
Food Okay not great, drinks good. Service a bit sketchy, standoffish with a lack of intetaction notwithstanding it was a birthday celebration.

I had a really time with the work fam. We celebrated a work event.
It was very organised, respectful to dietary needs and great customer services.
The view was amazing- I had the seats near the windows so I could see the river view.
This was a lunch that we a went for and the food was absolutely delicious.
The sea bass was good and dessert loved it. Thank you

I went to this restaurant with my wife during our holidays in the city. The service was perfect and very amiable. We had for starters pig and lagostins. And for main course the dried rib, amazing! Don't forget to try the OXO Chocolate Dessert.

Nice place, good food, great view and high prices. I had dinner with some colleagues, we had a table in the panoramic terrace. Lovely view on the Thames. Good meat and fish dishes, served very well - duck deserved. Very extensive wine list but with very high prices - get ready to spend from 50 pound up, most of the bottles were over 150. Very good experience but ... Not very accessible!

Pricey, okay food, good service and great view and location

Reassuringly expensive, but delivers bloody good quality food. The price is definitely worth it!!!

Noisy no more. The piano is too much noise. Expensive with desire. Mixed and varied drinks menu. People crazy about catching a table on the outside terrace. Possibly to escape the noise. The staff is efficient and friendly.

Wonderful service from a highly attentive and friendly team of staff. Manager was particularly attentive to the needs of my son with multiple allergies and bar staff mixed me a bespoke cocktail when nothing on menu tickled my fancy . And to top it off, some lovely live jazz in the background. A most lovely afternoon. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

This place is very busy all the time. We tried to book the table in the restaurant, but nothing was available until late. We "begged for food" in the bistro and got the table for 3. The food was good. The service - hectic. The atmosphere- very loud. Keep in mind that meaningful conversation is impossible here. Some tables are overlooking the river Themes but not many. Prices are high.

Food was great and service was punctual. However slight pricey side due to location

Excellent food, view of River Thames, and ambiance.

Would give it 5 stars...but a bit noisy in the Brasserie..food great!

Brasserie only - Good good & wine. Waiter was inexperienced, but trying his best and getting help from the floor manager. Okay views from our table away from the huge glass wall overlooking the Thames. French duo playing live music were excellent.

Amazing location and view. Staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. The menu was delicious!!

The OXO Tower Restaurant has stunning views, food, and service. It's also consistent - I've never had a bad meal here, and the standard of the service really stands out. You pay for what you get, so not good for a casual meal out, but perfect for any celebration or special occasion.

I booked the OXO Brasserie for a business meal (evening) for 8 people. We were very well looked after and the food was superb. Beautiful views of London over the river and some great live jazz playing in the background. Highly recommended. Great atmosphere. Excellent food. Very helpful and courteous staff.

Amazing afternoon tea, service and overall ambience! Would highly recommend for a special birthday or anniversary. Beautiful location and modern decor.

Really good value afternoon tea with great river views and informal yet white linen service.

Reall good food! Atmosphere was brilliant and the view over he Thames is

I was happy with my lunch at this restaurant.

Brithday cake plate writing and ice cream was fantastic.

I will be coming to this restaurant again.

food/experience was amazing :)

Excellent place with an amazing view above the river of Thames. It's enough to go there just for the breathtaking landscape of London that widens before your eyes. I come here two-three times a month and would not exchange the experience for anything. The service is high-level and the food definitely deserves my 'excellent' rating.

Excellent food and service. It's not cheap...but for s special occasion is worth it ! Great view also .

Great location and great views however decor looking a bit tired as of 2016.

We always make dinner plans at OXO when we are in London. The view would be enough of a reason to dine here, but the food is outstanding and freshly prepared. Service is attentive and the wine list includes a wide variety and is priced fairly.

Excellent views. I prefer the variety of menu in the Brasserie to that of the main restaurant.

Visited the restaurant rather than brasserie. Several levels up in terms of cuisine. Excellent dishes with a great complement of wines and attentive service

Not cheap., but a great venue, attentive staff and enough nice things to eat. One for taking friends to, when they are visiting London, perhaps.
