From the moment we arrived we couldn't be made to feel more welcome; the views of St.Pauls catheadral as you walk into the restaurant are amazing. The choices on the menu were plentiful and exquisite in taste. The staff were so friendly and extremely helpful.

Had a lovely evening at Radio Rooftop. My first visit. The service was excellent and the staff were very attentive. We have some sushi and duck spring roles which tasted good. My only complaint is that considering the bar was only recently renovated the ladies toilets leave a lot to be desired. I won't go into details on here but they need some maintenance.
