    Rotunda is a lovely location by the canal and quiet enough to have good conversations. Food is very high quality and delicious!

    Really cool venue by the water and a little bit pulled back from the busy hub of King’s Cross/ Coal Drop Yards which is actually quite nice.

    I had a reservation for 4 pm and when we arrived at 4:05pm they didn't let us in! The front man with the Mae tag "Willie" was extremely rude! He let us wait for one minute while he was cleaning his face and then he rudely said we are closed! DISGUSTING COSTUMER SERVICE 🤢 I drove 45 minutes to get here! Such a waste of time!

    As long time patrons of Rotunda we were really disappointed with our most recent visit. I can only hope this review acts as a wake up call to the owners. There were plenty of staff, but no service. We were advised that the manager had gone home early (our table was 7:30pm on a Saturday) and this may have been why the service did not exist. We watched as staff stood in corners chatting away, until I went in to question what on earth was happening. Other tables near us seemed perplexed as to why they could get no service too. The steaks were fantastic - nothing else was. Burgers were totally overcooked and the fries were poor with one serving being completely stuck together. Lots of apologies and lots of stuff taken off our bill, but I would rather have paid in full for good food and service. Here's hoping things change...

    Not the best for vegetarian food. Disinterested and overworked staff. All the ambience of an airport lounge.

    I wasn’t sure I wanted to stay when I realised (but hadn’t been told in advance) that there was a Burns Night on- so glad I stayed the service was charming warm and friendly and the salad was completely delicious, beautifully dressed and the steak my husband had was fantastically seasoned and perfectly executed- I believe charging extra for Sauces on already expensive steaks is is a bit outrageous- I get it with chips and sides (ish) but come on , an extra £4.50 for 50 ml of peppercorn sauce is taking the proverbial… that would be about the only reason I wouldn’t go back because it just feels “mean”. But otherwise really very nice food and service
