    It was our last night in London and so we were tired and not as hungry as would’ve been best to truly enjoy this menu. In fact, we did not have any dessert or after dinner drinks. Our food was delicious and our server was very attentive. The only disappointment was that this restaurant both beautiful views of the Tower bridge and surrounding area areas when in fact, it is a very low lying restaurant  and so the view is not nearly as nice as you would think from inside the restaurant. The view is really best from the boardwalk outside. Also, our uber had a very hard time finding where to drop us off and the restaurant should have that information in their profile as you cannot park or drop off at the restaurant you must walk quite a bit and people need to know that we were dropped off in an alleyway

    Dear Michelle, Thank you for dining with us on your final evening in London. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food and found our team attentive! Thank you as well for your honest feedback regarding the indoor view and drop-off instructions - we will update our online location details and driver directions to make arrival much easier for future guests. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back next time you visit London! Warm regards, Erica

    We were told it was 4 staff short. Staff were all attentive, helpful. No issues with the staff. However, the meal was underwhelming, certainly for the cost. Doubtful we'd recommend or go again which is a pity because it's all and now only about location.
    Le Pont de la TourResponded on October 21, 2026
    Dear Nick, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that our team were attentive and helpful. However, we’re sorry that the meal did not meet your expectations, especially in relation to the price. We always want our guests to feel that they’ve enjoyed both the food and the overall experience, so it’s disappointing to hear that we fell short on this occasion. Your comments are appreciated and will be shared with our team as we continue to look for ways to improve. We hope you might consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future. Kind regards, Mathieu

    We had an absolutely wonderful dinner with an incredible view of Tower Bridge. The food was outstanding, and the sommelier did a fantastic job helping us pair our dishes with a delicious French wine. The service was exceptional — everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and attentive, which made the whole experience even more special. We had such a lovely time and wanted to say a big thank you to the entire team for making our evening so memorable!

    Sunday, restaurant quiet, limited staff. Greeted on arriving, said had reservation, walked around the corner by staff member and then left standing, then another person arrived and I had to explain our attendance again. Staff friendly but service slow and piecemeal, food arrived at different times, good food but disjointed delivery - 6 guests in my party. There was a large party in a private area that may have been demanding on limited staff’s time. Ambience was poor as so quiet, felt slightly souless and grating lift music played slightly too loud given low number of people did not assist. Glasses filled too quickly and do you want another bottle keenly pushed. An expensive restaurant which is fine but not if above also the case. Not sure I would rush back, a shame as have had better experiences there in the past.

    Dear Huw, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that your recent visit fell short of expectations, particularly as you have enjoyed better experiences with us in the past.
