The Banana Store, Restaurant, bar and Gallery Reviews

It's OK. Drinks weren't special and the view is also not much better than in other places along the Southbank. After 7 years in London we gave it a try and clearly haven't missed anything.

Friendly food and tasty service - seriously recommended

Great meal and service with my family. Any dish is a good surprise. Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely views, great food and cocktails. Very classy

1st time to this restaurant and loved it! Great service too

A good location for a solid event with a great view from the 8th floor over London.

We have visited a few times. Great food, service and atmosphere. A good balance between feeling sophisticated but still an element of casualness.
When we went there were live music. Casual jazz, made the evening feel special. The views from there are wonderful.
The menu a good variety.

Excellent meal and the house champagne is fantastic!

Wow... From the beginning to the end. A surprise Birthday treat from my husband. We had a not afternoon tea ~theatre experience. Amazing deserts and accompying cocktails. The staff were very attentive and I loved the feel of the place. They made me feel very special.

Food tastes fantastic, and service was superb. The star comes off for the value of the meal. Little details, like the temperature difference between items on the dish were a bit strange. Great experience, just a bit too expensive.

wonderful service wonderful food lovely atmosphere best restaurant in london.

Very impressive!
We went to the 8th floor to have a drink in a fine restaurant....

Very good food and service in a relaxed, convivial atmosphere with super views over the city.

Good (if overpriced) food, but as a customer, one can feel a bit 'processed'.

Delicious food, friendly and attentive staff. Helpful, and willing to adapt the menu for customers with food intolerances/allergies.

It's very high quality food. Nice view onto the river. Erm, but when I went we weren't allowed on the terrace. Good food but very pricey - they also made me feel special on my birthday. Very good service basically.

Really nice view by the river Thames. outside seating. Nice and friendly staff.

Had a birthday meal. Romantic atmosphere with live piano performance and such a lovely view. It was in winter although it d be nice seating outside in summer.

We did enjoy the Oxo Tower, But I do have some criticisms. We had booked in September for a birthday meal for my daughter, who has a cows milk allergy. The waiting staff did not fully explained that the allergy menu could be made without More

Delicious summer set menu, great service, amazing views, highly recommend!

Fantastic 5 star food with excellent service. The views over the Thames are amazing.

I had dinner in the brasserie, enough good food but not enough compared to the prices, very helpful and kind staff, but up to be stressful. Very nice the possibility of having a personalized dessert for your birthday. Spectacular view, slightly noisy environment. I do not think I would go back.

Beautiful view and delicious food & drinks, restaurant services are spot on too

View: Great.
Food: Not so great.
Cocktails: Good.
Service: Great.

Verdict: If you can sit on the balcony on a nice day then it's worth going. Otherwise I wouldn't go for the food alone.

This place serves great cocktails, sit outside on the terrace any enjoy a sunset with one

We were meant to have a code discount for hospitality, but they scammed us and forced us to pay full price! Won't be returning! Also they lost our booking. Extremely poor. Would not recommend. Food was also mediocre at best!

A lovely venue beautiful views, great live music. The prices are surprisingly reasonable despite the venue.

Great view of London from the rooftop bar, drinks are a bit pricy but worth it for the view.

Excellent dinning experience. The food was excellent and for once as a vegetarian I didnt feel short changed. Service was attentive but not stuffy. Overall the best meal I've had out on London for a long time.

Excellent food and service and food. Love this place

Cute place for drinks and a great place to rest on our afternoon tour of London

Fairly good experience - although slightly pretentious atmosphere

Tuesday 16 May - lunch at The OXO Brasserie - three old and dear friends getting together and we so enjoyed our lunch sitting at a table looking out at great views of The Thames, St Pauls etc. I had booked our table on line asking if we could have a window table and it was with such surprise and delight that we found ourselves sitting outside on the terrace. The weather was warm, the food and wine were absolutely wonderful and we were well looked after by our waiter and staff. Big thank you to The OXO Tower for an amazing experience. We will be back!

Nice lunch & evening meals. great shops, by the lovely river Thames

Superb food, atmospheric and service. Highly recommended.

We were having dinner one night and the truth is that I cannot say that there was any detail that I did not like, the delicious food, the impeccable attention, the very warm atmosphere, the prices are a little high but really worth it, the location, the view of the Thames and the city and only that pays the bill.

Beautiful stunning views across the Thames. Excellent service and food.

te best restaurant view in london on a summer evening; the food and service do not disappoint. where to impress out-of-town guests

It was Okay - the price of the food and the taste of the food is not really worth it. I would say improve the food taste.

We went to the Oxo Restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday and we were not disappointed. The food and drink was fantastic but above all other things the service was truly 5 star. The waiters could not have been more attentive without being intrusive and they really made our evening special. If you have an occasion to celebrate go there!

Nice. Free public viewing form the top. Good food and drink.

Boyfriend surprised me with dinner at Oxo Tower and we had the most incredible time. We originally booked a table via OpenTable only to find out that our booking hadn't been made. Despite this, the staff still sat us and made us feel welcome, with our waitress Melinda taking really good care of us. The food was amazing, with Melinda reccommending the chateaubriand, which was the perfect meal for the both of us. At the end of our meal we were really surprised when Melinda brought us dessert especially, as we had told her it was our 5th Anniversary. She was an excellent waitress and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Would definitely visit again!

I usually go to have dinner. Nice nice vists2.decorated Christmas. Pleasent treatment. Good product .... in these dates very noisy..for dinners.de company and live music..piano.a little high ... but I like English cocina with bue product

Wonderful restaurant. Friendly staff and great view!

First address on the Thames. Great view with fantastic food. Modern ambiance not cheap but a visit that will be remembered.

The highlight of the Oxo Tower restaurant is always going to be the view. That's not to dismiss the food or the service, just that the view is that spectacular, with huge windows on both sides, overlooking the Thames and south London.

It's gorgeous and almost an event going there just for that. That said, the food is very nice-- definitely on the stylish side (starters included Devon crab with sweetcorn sorbet, for example), very pretty and very much rich-without-realising it, in that we were left looking at the petit fours and wondering if we could manage just one.

The service was good -polite, friendly- and the whole experience was plush, so the biggest downside, as ever, is the price.

Really disappointing meal. View good, starters good, potatoes excellent. There it stops. Chateaubriand and mushrooms, meat was 'just ok' and the mushrooms had SO much grit it was totally inedible. Waiter didn't care and they weren't More

Slightly overpriced and slightly close table settings, doesn't really detract for the views and the buzzing atmosphere

Beautiful location, lovely staff, and excellent food. I booked afternoon tea for my mom and I and we had so much fun. The cocktails were so incredible and the view was awesome! Great experience!

Lovely place and friendly staff and polite would recommend.

A cool place and a nice view. Usually it is quite busy, so reservation is needed. Food is also great, and meat outstanding.

Excellent views of London. You pay London prices, unless you dine when they have a deal.

Perfect location especially if you have dinner on the outside terrace.
Impeccable service. Excellent meat dinner. Prices related to the location. The only discordant note but customary in London clubs 12.5% service.

Good view, best sea bass in London ! Highly recommend!

I tried OXO IPA and it became one of my favourite IPA. Nice location with a free terrace where you can drink your beer.

Loved everything about our experience from the ambiance, food, wine and the service. Would recommend going there if you are in town.

A great place for dinner overlooking the Thames. I was in the braserie, everything we ordered was exquisite. It is expensive.

Really great atmosphere and views to die for over the Southbank. Good food and vibe, I would definitely visit again.

Wonderful views across the river and the afternoon tea was delightful. It's expensive but very much worth it

Fantastic food, Great Service and Views that are great too.

The food was nice but the price quantity didn't match. I was left hungry with the pork belly

Beautiful views. Lovely cocktails. Romantic location. Easy to find as has Big sign on building.
A little too pretentious though with the assumption from some waiters that because they working at an iconic restaurant/bar they can lord it over customers.

Very good food and view. We were lucky to get a window seat. It was my dad's birthday and we pre-ordered a little cake, which they forgot. But to make up for that we got a mixed plate of all their desserts, and a round of free cocktails! What a delight. Can definitely recommend. Only downside is that it's a bit loud.

Great service. Fantastic wine selection and a buzz in the restaurant.

No menu, although I put it in the reserve. Expensive luxury restaurant but with good food. 1 waiter who spoke SPANISH told us how the dishes were.

Great staff, honestly, super attentive and friendly.

Succulent haute cuisine dishes always served with grace and elegance, even when the place is full ... and the view ... well, it speaks for itself

The food was good, but definitely nothing ground breaking or mind blowing.

The view and the atmosphere was great. Staff were very nice, we had a great time with lovely wine and food
