Reviews For City Social London EC2N 1HQ

Christopher Heelan

Service was fantastic and food was delicious. Scallops tartare, prawn and lobster raviolo, duck, and chocolate mousse with the Tokaji Dobogo. Servers were pleasant, accommodating, helpful, and the right amount of present. Very much appreciated the suggested wine pairings by the sommeliers. Views were beautiful. This dinner was the highlight of my trip.

First visited London in 2023, where I came to City Social and loved it, have been back each year since. Always such a wonderful meal, with exceptional service, atmosphere, and beautiful views of the city. I would suggest to anyone, it is a must try restaurant.

One of my favorite restaurants that I visited while in London. I traveled from the US and visited many places but this one was in my top 3. The staff was very kind and attentive and the food was well prepared and for a great price. The views from the restaurant were beautiful and the atmosphere was cozy and romantic.

The food here was impeccable. Every item was meticulously put together and it was delicious. The service was professional, polite and friendly. We were a small group of 4, and the atmosphere was relaxing and mood lighting was low so it felt very intimate. We had a booth overlooking the London skyline. Fortunately our dinner time was during sunset, so the transition from light to dark was a perfect dinner setting. It's a pricey fine dining place, so save this for a special occasion!

A great place to visit with stellar views over the city of London. We booked the bar. I've visited the bar before and knew what to expect, but tonight the service was a little slow. We ordered food, unfortunately we did not get to eat it as I had an emergency call and had to leave immediately, but we explained this to the staff and we only got charged for the drinks and the nibbles we had. Atmosphere is great, but the music was a bit too loud for my liking. Food here is great, the bar menu is small, but you will not be disappointed with your order. I'd recommend the fish and chips and the burger. Price-wise, about right for location and type of establishment, but portion sizes are generous and filling. Another visit for a lovely lunch at the bar. Again no issues with the food or service. I ordered the beef rib and it was delicious! Soft, rich and so flavorful!

I really loved the ambience of this place. The starters (scallops and crab) was divine. Also went for the chicken main, which was also tender and saturated with a lovely sauce. Main negative was the side dish of broccoli, which my Mum who likes to boil everything, and some, until there is no more colour, would have done a better job. Was very substandard. However, mash and chips excellent. Little choccy dessert at the end excellent. Also non-alcoholic drinks were excellent. Waiters/Waitress attentive. Value decent IMHO.

The food is melt in your mouth delicious. We both had three courses plus bread and left full, even though the portions are delicate, they are well balanced and filling. Service was consistently fab!

Place is high end, but the vibes are relaxed. Food and service are excellent, as one would expect from such an establishment. Good for a special occasion or if you want impressive views.
