Food was great but service was a bit of a letdown. The waiter was friendly but was a little too relaxed, had earphones in, and seemed to be eating half the time he came over to us.
Half the items we asked about on the menu were no longer available so an updated menu might be helpful.
The mushroom linguine we ordered was fantastic, as were the Dorset prawns. The pork belly was a little dry but still a good dish.
The food was so damn good, that it brought tears to my eyes! You could taste the attention to detail and appreciate the care taken. Everything was so well balanced and flavourful. I tried as many plates as I could and I'm so glad I went for their deserts...just brilliant! In addition to the food, the decor is lovely with decent views. The service was genuine, provided with care and pride. Prices are amazing too, you get a lot for your money. I am definitely going back and I recommend you to try.
This is a tiny place on the Thames river side. We went to have lunch with some colleagues. The place is located alongside some other center and they share the entrance.
The staff is quite friendly and try to help you. The food is tasty but the portions are small even though they recommend you to share. The Meze platter was amazing and the Free Range crispy chicken thighs were really tender and tasty. We also had some prawns which was quite tasty. We finished off with the Dark Chocolate and Tonka Mousse - it was good but not great.
Overall it was a decent food but with small portions. However you had keep asking for bread at the table and they were quite slow with getting it.
I went there on a Saturday and loved it so much, I ended up going again later on that week!
Food is just lovely - sharing plates but each one is decent size.
I'm personally obsessed with the meatballs (that umami in the tomato sauce is perfect), the goats cheese and courgette linguini and the heritage beetroot salad. The crispy chicken is also very good though, as are their salads.
Nice selection of wines and my favourite by the glass was a vino verde.
Customer service is excellent - from the chefs to the waiter (Milan - he's hilarious!). On Saturday, we were there with a friend who doesn't eat garlic or goats cheese and the chef was just lovely at accommodating her madness.
I had a lovely experience at solstice for a friends birthday dinner. The food was great. Simple food, but tastes amazing. The servers were attentive and helpful. They presented the birthday cake in such a fun way. I definitely recommend. Great experience !
Oh my boy, the food is super tasty, and very fresh and healthy. The bill doesn't break your bank, either. We paid £60 for two people, and we are so full. The most recommended dishes are beetroot salad and crispy chicken thigh. The linguini is ok, still good, but not as good as the other ones.
Great restaurant and great service. Vegetarian option available, I appreciated that!!! The Courgette Linguini was delicious and so the dessert: the Chocolate and Tonka. The area is near the St Paul Cathedral and on the side of St Paul’s walk. You can see the Millenium Bridge from the window too. Cozy and chick restaurant too. I will definitely come back next time when visiting London. Also, the two young waiters: Matthew and Humo were very professional, and I want to thank them for their service on the table. We need people like them. Thank you, guys!
The restaurant is such a little hidden gem in London. Being a native, I was impressed with their prompt service and choice of offerings. The wine menu is extensive and has wide spread variants. The vegetarian mezze platter is a sure hit and well presented. The entire atmosphere is very chilled and relaxed. Mr Rares, Nacho and the entire team were so kind and we had an excellent time dining there. Fabulous view overlooking millennium bridge and sure a cosy setting. Thank you for the generosity.
One of my new favourites and we are sure to return multiple times!
Wow this place is such a hidden gem with great value for money. Definitely need to get the hake, linguine and arancini! The chicken thighs were quite dry so wouldn't recommend them! But will try the prawns next time! Also fantastic waiter! He was on his own serving all the tables but did a fantastic job. Very attentive!
Love this coffee shop / lounge area at Shamans! Very nice location right next to the river, friendly staff. Has a very comfy, chill vibe - kind of like a low-key co-working space. It can get quite popular with students but there’s always space. Open every day 8-5.
Edit: one of the cafes that have iced coffee menus all throughout the year! The seating area remains open even after 5pm which is great. Super friendly staff!
Top notch foods given the very affordable price level. A rather simple selection of menu - we ordered two pan fried hake and one butternut squash pasta between two people. To be fair a server told us that the place does tapas style dishes that are meant to share however portion of each dish was just as large as full dish. All in all pleasantly surprised by quality of food and the location (lovely view of Tate Modern) - Surprisingly not busy for Saturday brunch time which was actually a bonus point!
We found this place on a whim and what a gem it is! Firstly the food, we ordered two small plates and a platter to share and everything was delicious. (Shoutout to the prawns!) This was a good size portion of food for two, if you’re hungry, maybe order 1 more small plate. For desert we ordered the chocolate mouse and pana cotta, there was a mix up and we received the incorrect pudding. The host was so great, he apologised and we got our correct desert but he also gave us the spare desert on the house! Again all were delicious, special shout-out to the best pana cotta we have ever eaten! A note on the price. We thought this was extremely reasonably priced, especially for a river front restaurant and for a large amount of food. The host was welcoming and really friendly and a special mention to our waiter on his first day who was doing a great job.
We couldn’t recommend this place enough, the food, vibe and friendliness were 10/10!
This is such a lovely new restaurant right by the river, just a few minutes walk from Blackfriars Station. All the food was amazing - especially loved the linguine, the arancini balls and also the mezze platter (we shared a few dishes). Cocktails were also great and the staff were so friendly and helpful, giving us recommendations and telling us about the restaurant and their suppliers (all local farms). Such a nice vibe and excellent food, will definitely be back here soon.
Surprisingly empty for a Saturday and a place with good food, reasonable prices, and a nice atmosphere. Service was great, food was interesting, and the starters especially were really good. Perhaps a newer place as it has few reviews on here at the time of this visit and it was empty when we couldn’t find a place to walk in anywhere in the surrounding areas - overall a really good experience
Had heard about this hotel, as stayed in the sister hotels quite a few times.... And was passing, so had a coffee in the coffee shop.
Was lovely to sit in the lounge area and enjoy it, was V. Chilled vibe,really relaxing pit stop by the river. As an interiors lover... This place was a treat for the senses.
Was first trip to London, first food ate. Salad and the chicken was so lovely! Also the hot sun outside and chilled beer indoor was a perfect match!!
The food I had was all very good, interesting looking and tasting and well presented. I had the courgette linguini, which was really delicious, I was surprised at how much flavor there was. then I had the grilled prawns. again, very full of flavor and I got some bread in order not to waste any of the juices/sauce. even the bread was good as it had clearly been put onto the charcoal grill so was warm with some grill flavor, but not actually toasted. I also had a mocktail of framboise and lemon, again really lovely.
the restaurant is light and airy, overlooking the Thames path and the Thames with some tables outside. The kitchen is open and you can sit up at the counter if you want. The staff are friendly and laid-back but on top of the job.
I'll definitely be going back and taking others.
Nice experience!
Tasty food with a sharing plates concept. We had multiple plates all of them tasty and fresh, specially Rhubarb Sable Breton and Catch of the day! Diversity in cocktails menu, they start from spritzers and ends with fresh lemonades, service attentive and friendly.
Will be back soon
