Amazing experience from the arrival to the departure. We were looked very well by the team and even offered a table by the window. Great selection of signature cocktails with good use of ingredients, presentation and choice of glassware. We liked the classics too- especially the Negroni. Beautiful atmosphere and sleek service. Keeps up the good work. We will be back there.

Obviously the bar is wonderful with an amazing view of London. Our server was terrible. No personality, kept getting the order wrong or forgetting items and then told us we had a time limit left. Food was not good, supermarket sushi at best.

Thank you to the Italian and Greek waiters, very professionale standing and a pleasure to talk with. My suggestion: I’ve already visited location similar to gong bar, and when I’ve Reserved with Birthday date, I expexted basically a small cake ad a gift. Like sushi samba do…for free. Also, as I work in the hospitality in Italy, Milan, it is not good to see at the entrance the staff at the security checks, Angry with the guys at the reception desk. I entered without going to them but , Probably ad my mistake, I went directory to the security staff. The reception staff at the entrambe, (The Chinese girl) was amazing! Overall everything good.

The Ambience was ok, But the service was very poor. Staffs weere not attentive and were not on top of guests, its 2 hours of reservation and the server forget to post our drinks so we have to stay long for our drinks and on top of that they were rushing us, for sure the management is not good. I suggest them to be more and more organize.

My husband got the tuna sushi roll and liked it so much he asked for another. The view is spectacular and our waiter (from Spain) was also really great and gave us great drinks recommendations. It was expensive, but was still a cool experience and I'm glad we did it.

We arrived early so the hostess offered us a free dribk in Bar 31. The drinks were NOT free and the smell from the toiets next to where we were asked to sit were very unpleasant. We didn't finish our drinks and then stood waiting in the lobby until we were able to go upstairs. Do not arrive more than 15 minutes early. Once up on the 35th floor it was lovely. Gong was not what we expected foodwise as we booked a while ago and the menu has changed but the staff wored hard to accomodate us as vegetarians. The view and atmosphere are loevly - the staff were brilliant. Great for a few drinks but avoid the bar on the ground floor - they are NASTY!
