The Banana Store, Restaurant, bar and Gallery Review

Fantastic location with stunning views over the Thames.
Great service, beautiful food.
A long term favourite in London and I would highly recommend.

Wonderful experience for a birthday! We arranged a cake beforehand and asked for a window table, duly supplied. The food was delicious and served in a timely manner. The service was welcoming and friendly, timing was great with serving chilled wine. A great treat and good value considering food quality, service and view!

we had some very mediocre food with some pretty bad service too

Great place for special occasions. Good selections od beverages and food. Got our dessert with a message written in chocolate sauce for my partner. Nice setup for a night to remember.

I was here at a corporate event. The food and service was well above average for this kind of event. I loved it!

Great food, great wine, reasonably priced for the type of venue.

Great views of London. Ok food. Average customer service.

Visited many times and doesn t disappoint. Last night food was amazing. Service is brilliant too. And the view is wonderful. Excellent for any special occasion.

Great food and service at a fair price. Perfect location and views

Pricy buy worth it. The cocktails menu is very unique and the panoramic view over Thames is marvellous. Will definitely come back in summer for the terrace outside.

Amazing experience,Amazing views and THE BEST FOOD I've ever had! It's pork belly was amazing and the bread was as Well, they walked around refilling our drinks for no charge and the menu was perfect! Expensive but Definately go there, you won't regret it.

Everything ok but would be nice if staff could informed us about the deal menu card so we wouldn't overpay.

The food, atmospheric surroundings and service were great. Food was good too. Will go again.

An amazing experience. Delicious food, fantastic cocktails and the views over the Thames are spectacular

Great restaurant. Took my mother for her birthday. Food was amazing, service a delight. Mum was super happy.

A bit overrated and expensive for the food you are served. But location is superb.

Lovely place to have tea and snacks. Service was amazing.

Improved since last visit. Great service - attentive & helpful. Only downside was being given great window table right next to jazz band. Moved to less good table but at least we could talk.

A very pleasant place of you wish to treat someone but very expensive for what you get. Not all tables have a view!

amazing experience, food was out of this world and we had a great view of the london sky line

The website of oxo tower makes you understand you will eat in the top of a tower with a raffinate food for a good price! None of them was real!

The restaurant is at the side of the tower so the view is very bad. The offer menu for35 p was supercheap food served with a drink that taste water.

Really good view and good service at the bar but service for food was okay and food wasn t great very poor really a shame was better last time I visited!

Absolutely great! Excellent food, fast and friendly service but most importantly, tremendous view of London. All these things put together make the exprience ten times better.

I went to Oxo restaurant on my birthday few weeks ago. I wasn t a big fan of the food there but the asmosphere was great and we asked if we could change the table to the window table and we was granted with window seat. Customer service was amazing. I would recommend this place

Great view over to st Paul's. Food and service excellent.

Very good food, great service and reasonable prices.

Amazing view and food was pretty good as well. Came for a friend's bday dinner and was incredible.

Very popular restaurant not sure why there are a lot better very near. Food was over cooked and tough had to send it back lucky Monica came to our rescue .

Great view of the Thames river, although the restaurant claims to be of higher standing than it is.

Nice view, but disappointing dishes at undeserved prices. Noisy atmosphere. Kind staff.

I have tried many Michelin restaurants, I was disappointed, with the food at the oxo, the portions were extremely poor,
service was average, food lacked taste and was over priced. Basically your paying for the view. There are many better value Michelin restaurants in London, wouldn't go here again.

A perfect moment in a perfect place with a wonderful view ! Everything was perfect !

Went here for a few drinks after work, the view is one of the few truly stunning views by the river. If you do want to head out onto the balcony to admire it in full, just remember, to get outside the doors slide sideways.

Very nice afternoon tea, we thought that the highlight in the menu were the savoury bites which clearly stole the show and were VERY tasty. Good service, though you do not leave feeling lavished (which you do in some of the top afternoon tea experiences in London)

Chef Jeremy Bloor prepares an organic menu, with his feet on the ground, the sky .... the city views put it

Incredible food and some great views over London! Service was good but we did feel like we were forgotten about a little bit when the restaurant started getting busier

Great view of the City without the "queue" while enjoying an adult refreshment, great appetizers or a meal.

Great views and super staff. Dishes were either a complete hit and miss.

Great service, food was excellent. Birthday celebration, they went the extra mile to make it special. We will be back.

Great venue, with panoramic views over the Thames river. You can enjoy a drink on the balcony before having a nice, but not cheap, dinner at the restaurant. We had live jazz when we were there.

"Not An Afternoon Tea" is a brilliant alternative to the traditional sandwich and scone affair. Four desserts, interesting cocktails and views of the city over the Thames. Best to book, and if it's a nice day ask for a table outside.

Incredible view, impeccable food and service! Thank you

Came for a set menu for my birthday, felt welcomed an accommodated for the entire time. Food was DIVINE. View matches the food and service. Cannot reccomend any more.

Staff is really nice plus they give you jackets if you want to go outside really recommend this place for a romantic dinner!

good drinks here and a good place to go with friends or family over 18 years.

I was the guest of someone very special to me and they gave me a lovely day.

Vegan high tea overlooking the river Thames. Fabulous.

Had dinner here at 6pm, a great time to arrive as we got to watch the sunset with a superb view of the city. Food was delicious, we each ordered a different dish for each course. Service was impeccable all staff gave their all at great service.

Simply London at its best. Mostly chic and trendy local. Great food, fantastic service, and view that literally worth millions of bucks! I wanted to give four stars because the wine selection was not that great, almost like they are pushing a certain house brand...... But I gave 5 stars because this place is really worthy of that complement. Reservation required and get your London Taxi number handy as location is not very easy to stop a cab. OXO here we come again!

Local gastropub standard of food and service at big city restaurant prices. It's the view that makes the disparity forgivable.

The view is beautiful and the food is good, what more could you want?

Exceptional food, and magnificent views. Only marginally let down by the loudness and crammed together tables, which the staff do their best to negotiate.
Friendly staff though we never really felt fully attended to.

We went here for dinner the other night and very much enjoyed it. The service was attentive and the food was nice as well.



You also get very nice views of London and live music from 7pm, will 100% be back!

Went for lunch and the service and view where amazing

A nice place for dinner with a view.

There s no denying that the OXO Tower is an iconic place to eat. The setting is gorgeous and the views of London are lovely. Would have to say, for the price the food is only okay... overly described for gastropub-level food. Got the lamb and that was a little tough.

Staff were friendly but almost trying a little too hard. They also need to understand the first four times you say you don t want dessert, tea or coffee that you mean it (!!) The wine selection was wonderful, though it would be nice if you didn t HAVE to wait for the sommelier to order.

Overall, not terrible but for where they re pitching themselves the attention to detail could be better.

Terrible food, overpriced and gave me food poisoning. Service forgetful and impresonal. Only thing worthwhile here is the view. Will be my last visit.

I would definitely book ahead and request a seat outside (weather permitting) as the view is stunning. They have a wide variety of cocktails - even their Gin and Tonic is delicious. A bit pricey, but definitely worth it!

Good food, good service and the mesmerizing views from the 8th floot over the Thanes. The cathedral of St.Paul is also in the view.

Went here for our 30th anniversary, from the moment we were met at reception the staff were fantastic. We had asked for a river view table and they accommodate our request. But only after being seated for a few minutes we were offered a table nearer to the river again. Service was first class throughout, food was fantastic and the sunset was amazing. Oxo definitely went the extra mile to make it a really special evening for us.
Thanks to all that made it happen.

Top for service and ambience, would highly recommend.

It must be over a decade since I was last here. Food is what you expect it to be for a place like this, well presented and can't really be faulted, but not really my cup of tea. Staff were a bit too attentive, I almost felt pressured to order. Best thing was probably the views you get of London by the river.

Wheelchair access

Great food, great view and staff efficient and friendly.

Not that expensive but also not that tasty the food. A bit too phony for me

We chose the Oxo Tower Brasserie last night for my birthday dinner with our family. I had scallops, absolutely delicious, and the service we received was excellent. A lovely venue to choose to celebrate anything really. Thank you. Diane

Impeccable service and delicious food. We felt very well taken care of and it made for a really special evening.

Good river views but cranes are prominent at present. Fod and service both good. Went there after being locked in at Tate Modern after an incident there

Not bad, food and view if you can get a table by the window are good.

Fabulous food and views of London but it's not cheap

Really good views and well made cocktails. Slightly over priced but you are paying for the views. I recommend making a reservation as it can get busy and you may find yourself hovering for a table.

Last minute booking for a late lunch (4:30pm) and were informed before arriving that we would be expected to leave at 6:30pm which was fine. We booked for a Saturday so expected it to be busy, upon arriving we were shown to our table at the back, we asked if it was possible to get a spot near the front window as we wanted to see the view of the Thames, luckily they had a spare space for us. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was reasonably priced but very very good - one of the best lunches I've had in London. Atmosphere was great and I would definitely make another trip there in the future #ReviewItForward

Amazing location/views, good(Bamboo beer) cocktails and excellent overall dining experience. Superb waiting staff.

The OXO Tower Restaurant is really something quite special. The food is beautifully cooked, staff are friendly and helpful, and the views are iconic. Not cheap but not hugely expensive either. Perfect for a special occasion.
