The Banana Store, Restaurant, bar and Gallery Reviews

Fantastic Food & Wine, You WIll Not Be Disappointed.

By far my favourite bar and restaurant in London. The viewing gallery with a cocktail is a must for everyone going to the 8th floor.

A lovely building, wonderful views of the river, attentive staff and a nice, varied menu.

Food was outstanding but it took forever. Ambiance was nice and the staff was friendly

10 of us went for my birthday to the Brasserie. Spectacular location. Views are breathtaking. Food was delicious and portions sizes were very generous. I felt it was very good value. Decor is nothing special, but the view at night makes up for that.

Good food, good views, fair price. Nothing impressive, but good enough to spend some time

Nice place, excellent view of the Thames and the city. Honest quality of food, price in the high range. Service is not aligned with the price range, but is of good quality.

Wonderful sitting outside with a drink watching London

Probably the best view in London. Great place for a romantic dinner or special business dinner. I've had both there with great results. Food is excellent, great wine list. The decor however is from a bad Dr Who episode, blue lighting and white furniture. The bar is always hopping, though I've always gone to the restaurant instead. Despite the odd decor, the place has a lot going for it and definitely a must-visit when in London.

I went to OXO Tower to #celebrate #NYE which was one of the best ways to say #bye2018 and #hello2018. The venue was decorated to add to the #party atmosphere and there was a #liveband playing #music while we dined as part of the #entertainment.
One area of improvement would be for the venue to have alternative menus for those people who have #allergies or contacting us in advance to cater for us instead of us only having a few choices from the standard menu.
But on a whole the venue is great for any occasion.

A highly recommended place for lunch or dinner with stunning views ... the bad thing is that you notice a lot of noise from people talking. It will be because of the situation of the restaurant. Perfect live music and superb attention.

The rooftop has a nice view for Thames and a good list of tasty cooktails.

Good views of London. Would like to return on a warmer day to sit outside.

Was a nice experience, for a birthday had a little suprise!!!

Good cocktails and lovely views. A little pricey but as expected for location and quality

Food was great ... best lamb ever, but very loud, service at rush hour pretty slow ... but otherwise good.
I didn't have to pay, so this factor is not included in my rating

Amazing place !! Would recommend to anyone and will deffineteley be back. Food, service and views breathtaking....

It may be pricey but well worth it for a special occasion. The service is some of the best I have encountered in London. Views over the Thames are amazing. A must book venue in the summer. Can often easily get tables for lunch but evening need to book way in advance

Pricey but good if you want to be a bit flashy for a special occasion.

Great fun! Cocktails are delicious, staff are attentive and make you feel very welcome. Would recommend if looking for a fun and informal place with fabulous views of London.

Great atmosphere for both business meetings and private events

Have enjoyed every visit, meal and martini here for 20 years now...and the views are one of the best in London...the staff and management are simply professional to the nth degree...always accommodating...

One of the best steaks I've ever had in the Brassiere. Lovely music and a great waiter. Food was wonderful and so was the setting.

- Excellent service
- excellent food
- Great view of the London skyline

Great view, good tapas, excellent spot for an aperitif!

Great views from Terrace Bar over looking the Thames

The decor of this restaurant is beautiful (if a little austere) and the view is spectacular. The staff might try smiling. It's hard to choose from the menu as it all sounds wonderful and for the most part the dishes served up were good. One of the vegetarian options - artichoke and aubergine - was bland, undersesoned. I had scallops for my starter (2 only), this plate was delicious. For my main I had duck which consisted of a piece of roasted breast - tasty but a bit tough and a kind of croquet of confit of duck - the star of the show. Don't bother with the cheese plate. Desserts are are very good. Wine is expensive.

A great place for dinner. Very enjoyable atmosphere, the food is top-notch and the service is five stars. This would be perfect for a date if you want to impress a beautiful lady. I got a T-bone steak and it is hard to find quality beef in London but thet have it, and it was perfectly cooked. They have a large wine selection, we picked a Malbec and it was ravishing. Highly recommended.

Average food for what the cost is, stayed for ages due to super comfy chairs

Incredible views and a brilliant location.

Excellent craft beer selection.

We went for the bar rather than the restaurant, and it had a really relaxed atmosphere, even for a Saturday afternoon.

The bar has a brilliant terrace, and the blankets are a nice touch, although it was warm enough to not need the.

The wagyu burger was amazing!

Food was great, views are impressive be mindful of the staff trying to upsell, we were offer a glass of champagne as it was a special occasion but it wasn't a kind gesture as we were expected to pay for it, we were offered bread while we decided what to eat again this was at a cost, the staff will only tell you it's not free you ask them directly.

Interesting shopping center, new designs. From the terrace of the restaurant you can contemplate the Tamesis,

Preference for casual dictated favour of the Brasserie as oppose the restaurant. Did Not regret especially as table by the window turned out to be a big hit. The food was excellent. the river views of London and St Pauls were immaculate. The live jazz was an added bonus. Overall very satisfied.
As the accompaniments charged and not part of the main and not indicated as such on the menu. Pity - missed that last star!

Overpriced for what it is but you're paying for the location and outdoor seating by the water.

At at the Brasserie. Service is excellent nothing is any trouble, food is great, had an issue with our meal. The waiter put this correct straight away. Also received complementary drinks. Cocktails are nice and the view of London is good.

Great views from the patio, if you can seat outside do it, that's the way to go. Food and service was great, I loved their poached salmon, very tasty.

I don't remember loving the food here (and I don't really remember what it was, period) so can't say much for that, but of course the views are amazing!! Just definitely request a window seat when you book because it's kind of not worth it if you don't have one!

Lively roof bar with great service. A bit expensive, but you have this great view !

Good place. It is nice to get drinks on the terrace and enjoy the view.

The OXO tower bar and brasserie are two very nice places. At the bar you can drink cocktails with products of the highest quality. The selection of wines, champagnes and beers is great. At the brasserie I ate excellent meat, cooked very well. As for the service it is impeccable, all the waiters are always very attentive and full of attention. The view over the Thames is very fascinating.

Great place to spend Christmas Eve. Food and drinks were great!

the food was excellent though cold and the waiter had forgotten to place my fathers order
all very sad when it was such a special occasion my 50th and my parent don't go out anymore
!

especially when the table had to be vacated in a 2 hour slot
I would try again if someone else was paying the bill

Its terrace has beautiful views of the city. A bit expensive, but the site is worth it!

A gastronomic staple for special occasions. Modern British done very well.

Food was delicious and the service was quick and helpful when choosing drinks

Great food, service and atmosphere. Quite overpriced with small portions for what you pay.

One of the best views in London! Love this place. Great service and fabulous vibe. A institution on the Southbank. Don't miss out.

Excellent service I felt like a superstar. At first when we walked in they told us to look at the menu to see if we like it but I reckon it was to see if we could afford it. After that we was showed to our table and was offered 5 star treatment. Cocktails were beautiful and the starter was excellent. The price was a lot as working class people the bill could feed us for a month. However it was worth every penny.

One of my favourite places in London to have dinner especially at night. Amazing views of London especially St. Pauls Cathedral and of course the river Thames. The staff as always are very attentive and the food just out of this world. Yes a little bit expensive but then you pay for what you get.

Absolutely brilliant bar with an extensive range of drinks - cocktails were ingenious and the views on a saturday night across the city were breath taking! I'm looking forward to sampling the menu!

Excellent quality & super service with eye catching views

First of all, the views are spectacular.

The meal was pretty good, just not amazing and the service was fine. It can get a little noisy here.

Always a pleasure to visit this place, the bar has such a lovely view and the staff are always very accommodating for seats outside, even when you have to wait they look after you until it's free. Drinks are lovely , a deffo great spot

Amazing view, great staff, and delicious food. I had the duck and it was incredible. A little expensive but it's clear what you're paying for.

Good views of Central London, in particular st Paul's cathedral. Went for afternoon tea. Sandwiches weren't too tasty as we had requested vegetarian options which was a shame. Desserts were good though

Loved it. Views. Company. Food. Wine. Very enjoyable.

Not afternoon tea - the experience was great but the cocktails were not of our taste.

Service and view are great, but the design and food is not very impressive unfortunetely!

Couple of small glitches over actual orders being right but superb food overall

An amazing experience. I recommend it thoroughly. The views are an added bonus.

It's a bit overpriced and staff is a bit pushy portion for Price are not adequate at all, food quality was not that great at all also but deserts been good that's why 3 stars

Spectacular views of London in a very swanky Restaurant. Drinks to start off with were slightly above 'average' price in London - However worth the money! The menu was actually a little disappointing and to be honest not worth the prices. Very minute potions meant that our whole party were hungry after we had eaten. Go for the view - not the food!!

The setting is stunning, the service is great, the food is , well, average and very overpriced.
I admit it's not the usual place I woul go to. We treated ourselves with the Eat out Help Out scheme. We were disappointed about the food. It looked great on the plate , like one of those fancy dishes they produce on master chef, but quite frankly I've had better home cooking.

The food were fab. Love the desserts.
Amazing river view.
