Columbia Restaurant

Out of all the Hilton group hotels in London that I’ve stayed in this has the best selection of items. The buffet had everything you could want for an English breakfast (and also had potato scones for a bit of a Scottish touch) and there was also a decent sized cold buffet too. When the weather is nice it is possible to have breakfast outside overlooking the Thames

I got to attend the Columbia restaurant's pirate themed afternoon tea with a large group of friends yesterday, and it was fantastic. Service is great with friendly staff and prompt service. Sandwich selection as part of the afternoon tea was a bit of an elevated standard, with the typical smoked salmon on cream cheese, tomato and cheese, cucumber this time paired with chicken, and a sausage and piccadilly relish. The scones were fresh and absolutely delicious, super buttery and creamy, very delightful. Finally there was a very thorough cake selection presented, as well as smoothies and parfaits. The group unanimously decided the banana bread was the absolute winner, soft and rich and very well balanced. We had so many options to try and most of them were really fresh and scrumptious. I found a few cakes a little too on the sweet side, and the mocha I ordered was also way too sweet to drink for ky taste. Overall, a brilliant afternoon tea with so many items, lovingly presented in little pirate treasure chests. I enjoyed it a lot and would definitely recommend it.

Very friendly staff. Quick service and an amazing view! I was 30 minutes late and tried to phone but there was no answer. I was very worried my table would be cancelled but when I got there the staff seated me straight away without problems and let me wait even longer for my other friend to arrive. The food was tasty and the portions were bigger than expected. After, we were allowed to go outside by the riverfront and take some amazing pictures. I booked through Groupon and did not stay in the hotel but for me my experience was lovely. Would definitely recommend.
