What an interesting night. The fire alarm going off, being evaluated, then being let back in, when all clear. But everyone at the restaurant did a great job. Well done The LONDONER HOTEL. This did not distract from a fabulous meal. And we will be coming back to dine with you in the new year. Five Stars.

Dined on 12 Oct 2024
The overall experience was positive, however, despite booking, and the restaurant being nearly empty, things did not get off to a good start as my friend and I were placed at a table right next to a pillar when there were plenty of spaces, so we asked to be moved. This was done immediately. The service was fine and the servers were attentive and the food was good. I ordered a diet coke and was given a tiny bottle so had to order a second one half way through the meal. Usually a tall glass lasts me a whole meal. When the bill came I had been charged £5.50 PER BOTTLE! This is outrageous. I know that inner city rates are high but there is no justification for this. I did not make a fuss as the prices are not set by the waiting staff, but I won't be going back.
