   Unfortunately our Christmas dinner wasn’t pleasant. The service a good but the food wasn’t good. To think we paid $85pp for this very poorly cooked meal - I would not return! Our table was for 8 ppl and everyone’s meals were horrible. My butternut squash soup had a couple chunks of Brussel sprouts in it which were not supposed to be. The our turkey meals were soaked in this very strange sauce to try and disguise the dry turkey. Potatoes over cooked and dry too. Finally the desserts that came which were also a disappointment too. I would not recommend this restaurant

   Disappointing. Had high hopes for the Christmas Eve experience in the rooftop igloo with “views of the city”. First off they called us and told us to get there half an hour early as they wanted to get staff home. Totally understandable so we arrived early to almost empty restaurant. They led us to the igloo and seated us. We had zero views of the city as promised and the seating was odd for five people too big. We asked to be switched to the cabin closer to a having view of St Paul’s Cathedral etc. the cabin for us perfectly but views still limited. They came to take out quickly and we had to order everything including dessert at that moment as the kitchen would be closing soon. We were very rushed and it was awkward. Appetizers came out very quickly. The inside of the bread rolls were frozen. They forgot two of the apps and we had to ask for them. Food was good. Not great. But good. We were brought everything so fast including the check which was brought before we even got dessert. When we reminded them we had ordered dessert they seemed very surprised/annoyed and apologized for forgetting them even though they were on the check which we had already paid . Overall it was nothing special and awkward because of the rush and I mean rush service. Not how we imagined spending Christmas Eve dinner as a family. I totally appreciate them wanting to get staff home however they should not have offered that time slot to reserve the igloo. We came from the states and this was the only dinner reservation we made to make out visit special. So overall disappointing.

   Abbiamo cenato nella “cabina”, ambiente decisamente intimo e ben riscaldato. Servizio cortese e molto efficiente. Il cibo molto buono. Forse un po’ caro ma in linea con i prezzi dei ristoranti in centro a Londra. Consigliato.

   Just had a birthday party for my wife at the Pod on the roof at Mercer’s. Excellent service and a great ambiance.

   We ate here after our engagement and the team did everything they could to make sure we had a wonderful evening. Everyone looked after us perfectly and the food was great too.

   This is a very cute place with great views. Food was good and well prepared I had the fish and chips. Service was friendly and they were competent. My only feedback is that some of the tables inside were very close together.

    The steaks were extremely salty and inedible. Triple cooked chips were just standard chips. Salads were very sadly seasoned. Beetroot starter had so much vinegar, it was inedible. The cheese plate thankfully wasn’t salted - great achievement , hats off to the chef that didn’t touch that dish. The table was outside in a little tent - no air, very cold, no waiters coming in a regular basis. Absolutely appalling experience.
