Visited the Brasserie with my wife recently. Food was very good (tasty, hot, and fitted the description on the menu!), as was the friendly and efficient service. Tables are small, close together, ambiance noisy and when busy would certainly not suit those who prefer quiet dining. There was also the condition of a 2 hour dining slot which suited my wife and I this occasion as we had to pick up our children promptly from a London theatre, nearby.
However, my wife also went there recently for a lunch with a group of friends and on arrival were told they had a 2 hour lunch slot and would need to leave promptly! Apparently, this condition was not advised to the person who booked the lunch. Some of the party arrived late and despite the restaurant having plenty of free tables, they were all forced to leave at the appointed time. Frankly, I think their treatment was appalling and mean...for this reason, I would only give the place, 3/5 stars and warn anybody who books to ensure they understand and are comfortable with the conditions laid down by the management! Not sure I would go back out of principle unless my wife (who still loves the place!) twists my arm.

We went to the Oxo Tower restaurant for the first time last night and had a fantastic time.

The service was wonderful from start to finish. The staff were so attentive and unpretentious.

The ambiance was great and the views of London and the embankment were amazing

Although the menu could have been a little more extensive, the food we chose was sublime and certainly did not disappoint. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent service, absolutely top class. They explained the meals to us in a very thorough but non-patronising way which seemed more educational then snooty. They were also very efficient although the wait for the desert could have been quicker.

The ambience was very impressive nice view of London, really good buzz and the blue light ceiling was beautiful.

The white bottle of Australian Sauvignon Blanc that we had was also extremely impressive.

My only complaint was that my Quail starter was not boneless so it got really fiddly. However my fiancée Crab started was apparently very tasty!

Well recommended.

went here for a meal and it was great. had a great bean salad starter, with an amazing dressing and the main had truffles in it, which tasted so good.
can't go everyday because of the price, but was really great and would def. recommend it!

Went here on bank holiday Monday with family for nice meal and it really is brilliant. The venue is just fantastic, with views across London that even put a smile on a Londoners face. The food was brilliant to and I thought reasonably priced - expected it to be more from our settings. The staff were very friendly and attentive. There is basically nothing I can fault - I highly recommend it!

Great venue in London with views of Tower Bridge. Still feel that Altitude 360 has better views as you can see more of London.

Food at Oxo really delicious though!

Went to the Brasserie for my 4th anniversary with my Boyfriend, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Situated nice and high so views are stunning and showed London from a more birds eye view. Truly breath taking.

Was made to feel very special and welcome by staff at front desk and was taken to our seats (although I do feel like the space in not great especially if its a romantic meal you don't want people over hearing your conversation; if this was different it would of got a full 5 stars)

Table nicely set out clean and comfortable.

Service was great very attentive and kept and eye on everything.

Food was a bit crazy (by that very Avant Gard) however very delicious, nicely presented and was scrummy.

Drinks reasonable for a place like this and a wide selection to choose from, had a delicious Pinot Noir and sparkling water followed by Cocktails in the bar very relaxed and chilled in there.

Great job thanks for a lovely evening you made our night.

Enjoyed a very pleasant dining experience at the Oxo tower. Service was impeccable throughout although some of the non-English staff were a little difficult to understand sometimes. Food was excellent although pricey as you would expect due to view and location. Only moan was that the lighting on the tables was inadequate and we could not see the menus let alone what we were eating. More candles please!
