Quarter Lounge - London

After a very busy day, we arrived back to the London Bridge hotel to enjoy a drink before heading out for dinner. We took a menu from the table to browse, as we had previously enjoyed lovely meals in the hotel's Londinium Restaurant, which is now closed. After looking at the menu, we decided not to go out and to try the food at the Quarter bar and we were so glad we did!! The food was fresh, well cooked and tasty, and the dishes were well composed. We had seabass and duck main courses portions weren't huge but they were adequate and well priced, especially considering the location. We were so glad we decided to stay in, and plan to eat there again next time we stay!

We were staying at the London bridge hotel which was great, and visited the quarter bar every day. Had some lovely snacks there and Szlivia looked after us most days, lovely friendly girl and we have a new friend. I enjoyed the Tim Collins cocktail very refreshing. We liked it and all the staff in the bar and hotel super friendly, we would go back. Alastair and Tui.

Please do not waste your time on this place and their incredibly incompetent staff. I made a reservation for afternoon tea for 3. We arrived early and I told the server we were there for afternoon tea. He acknowledged we were there for tea because he made a comment about our table being booked on a 2 top. After 45 mins of waiting (I gave some leeway because we were early) I asked if there was a problem. I was informed that our reservation was canceled. I said not possible as I confirmed the day before and had an email to prove it. After another 20 minutes, the story changed and I was told that I only booked a table, and not tea service. BUT that they could have it ready in 20 mins. I said OK, but reminded him I said that we were here for tea so why A) did you first say it was canceled and 2) not just start preparing the tea service when we walked in. He told me next time I should really just call because the internet booking is not great. I replied that if it is not great then they shouldn 't have online booking as an option then (not to mention the difficulty in placing an international call) . At that point I said we were no longer interested. The final insult was them still charging us for the 2 ginger ales we had while sitting at the table.

We stopped by to have drinks with close friends. The cocktails were lovely, the service EXCELLENT. Himalaya was absolutely lovely, as was the other server whose name I didn't catch (young man with a close beard): both SUPERB. HIGHLY recommend for a classic cocktail and consummate service. We will be back. A1. Thank you and a Happy New Year! Steve (table for 4).

We had a bottle of wine here one night as we were staying at the hotel. Service was excellent and the prices weren’t too bad for central london. We would come back again.
