I'm sitting in Tompkins right now and writing this in my iPhone. To tell the truth the atmosphere is really cool, music is great, but the food is awful. First I have ordered a dish named "Osso Bucco & saffron ravioli" for £15. I was expecting on big steak with a bone in the center and suddenly I've got five or six raviolis with Osso Bucco meat inside! The name of the dish is "Osso Bucco & saffron ravioli", not "Saffron ravioli with Osso Bucco meat"! I'm still totally hungry even that I also have ordered burger for £12. It was 5/10 burger for this price. The only thing that I can say about Tompkins is nice interior - expensive bad food.

good food at good prices! the service was good and unobrtusive. the ambience was buzzing and the food is good.
it wasnt the best steak i have had, but all in all it was a good experience overall

I think Tompkins is a real find in an otherwise restaurant wasteland. Service is outstanding, the atmosphere was great and the food was perfectly fine. I had one of the best steaks I had in a very long time. After dinner, we went up to the bar5 on the 48th floor and - wow! Unbelievable. The views are the best anywhere. Great cocktails, really cool music and again - a really good atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Went to Tompkins for breakfast with 7 colleagues. I paid £11.50 for coffee (£2.50), toast (£2.00 per slice), poached eggs (£3.00) and one single mushroom (£2.00) and tip of £2.00. Totally extortionate and misrepresented on the menu. The additions (mushrooms/tomatoes/hash browns etc.) are not referred to in the singular and so you expect to actually receive a portion but this is not the case. A colleague of mine paid £2.00 for half a tomato! Pleasant surroundings but would never eat here again - have just got back and I'm still hungry! Portions are miniscule. I cannot imagine this place surviving unless they make their prices realistic - even by London prices this is way too high.

The decor is good, like a modernist hotel bar, and the staff friendly when you finally get to meet them. We waited half an hour for our order to be taken and an hour for the food to arrive, even though the restaurant was less than half full. The salad was advertised as including lardons, but the four salads that arrived included a total of just one. We decided not to divide it between us.

The portions are small and the sirloin steak was medium to well done, despite being ordered as rare. It was pretty tough and was roughly the same colour as the salmon, only paler, with the only flavour coming from the pepper sauce ladled on top, which I didn’t ask for. I told them I’d have to take their word for it that it came from a cow. It was certainly the worst steak I have had anywhere, and I told them so. The only accompaniment was stringy French fries, rather like I get in my local kebab shop and no better in quality. Did they take anything off the bill? No, but I was in too much of a hurry to get back to work after being left waiting so long. I left a £20 note on the table and told my colleagues to get change and not leave a tip.

The wine list is extensive (from £14 for a Cabernet Sauvignon to £628 for a Margeaux) and the house red very palatable. If I go there again, I’ll just have wine.

Excellent food, good service. A new restaurant with a lot of potential. A little on the high side (cost-wise) but the food is wonderful.

Lovely place!
