Sea Containers Restaurant

Stayed here for an anniversary evening. They gave us a glass of fizz to help us celebrate. It was appreciated. Attentive and friendly staff throughout the hotel, bar etc. Our room was clean and tasteful. Our requests were met with positive responses and we awoke to a lovely morning view of the Thames. A quick stroll to Borough market the next day capped off a pleasant weekend. Would stay again for sure.

Super cool and modern vibes with very attentive service. Amazing view of the Thames. Junior suite room was huge even by American standards. Bedding and curtains helped with the best sleep of our trip. Sounds weird to say but the water station was amazing and delish! We walked everywhere easily.

We visited Sea Containers London for the New Year’s Eve dinner. While the communication and all inquiries were handled quickly via email, the dinner itself was disappointing, especially the salmon served as a starter, which was clearly not fresh. When I informed the manager, he simply removed the dish from the table without offering any solution or apology. Aside from this, the place is beautiful, and the hotel’s architecture is impressive, but I would not recommend it, especially for a celebration like Christmas or New Year’s. The meat was fine, but the service and the fish left much to be desired. The salmon had an unpleasant smell, as if it had been sitting there for 2 or 3 days. This was not the level of quality expected for such an occasion.

Two friends and I dined here recently for a festive brunch out in London. The brunch was good value for money with the Prosecco option being £19 each for 1.5 hours of free flowing drink. On top of that you then choose which food dishes you would like. We had a couple of starters (recommend the 4 cheese croquettes) and then chose a main dish each, I would recommend the lobster roll which was tasty and filling, alongside the al crab crab Benedict which had plenty of crab. Service was great, the staff were attentive and made sure our drinks were filled at all times. Unlike some other brunches, it did not have a lively atmosphere but it made it a good venue to chat and enjoy company alongside the views of the river and St Paul’s.

Found this place by chance, first thing you need to know is, it is part of a hotel which will help you find it. As you enter the hotel itself is beautiful downstairs, with a ship/sea theme. When we arrived the staff were friendly and the restaurant is more on the high end. The menu isn’t huge but a good mix of meat, fish and veg. Sadly they had some issue with the order as their system went down, we waited a very long time and these things do happen but no one told us. Eventually we flagged someone down, and she explained the issue and offered us drinks and took care of us (the stunning lady who looks like Lucy Lu, I wish I knew your name), she was absolutely amazing with her service and hence why I have given it a 4 on service. She went out of her to make sure we were ok and just was wonderful. The starters here was amazing, can’t not recommend the ceviche tacos enough! I’d just come back for those! The main dish are actually quite big, the halibut was served beautifully but for me personally I wish the sauce had a bit more kick but recommend the Mac and cheese side. Definitely would come back if I fancy some fish, I’m coming back for the whole sea bass and next time I will try to come during summer as restaurant is sitting on the Thames. Great place for date night.

I really cannot recommend going here. I expected much better at a 5 star hotel’s restaurant, and I’m really sad that I spent one of the few nights I’ll ever be in London going here for dinner I went 2 times in total The first was for breakfast and things went ok. I wanted the lobster roll, but was told it isn’t available during breakfast. Fair enough. I got the full English breakfast instead, which they really did mean it when they say full. The eggs were made great too, super vibrant yolks, and the green onions on top were a really nice touch I came back for dinner and waited a few minutes at the front as there was nobody available. Once seated I tried to order the lobster roll but… that’s a brunch only item apparently? I asked for a few minutes, and once my waitress came back, I tried to order the mussels… not available today (a Saturday where dinner has yet to have picked up). I settled for the crab toast to get my seafood fix The crab was honestly disgusting. I took three or four bites, but it was pungently fishy, reeked of lemon, and extremely overly salty. I genuinely believe it was canned crab. My waitress asked if everything was ok, and I mentioned it didn’t taste great, and I was done. I asked if it was canned but she said no, it’s completely fresh. I had her take it away as I felt sick from eating it I asked for the dessert menu instead since many other things didn’t look appetizing. She took my order, and I kid you not I waited 30+ minutes before I could find any information about it. She did not check on me once during this time, and I tried to flag her multiple times. I had to bother another staff member, and apparently the order just never made it through. That staff member had to bring it out to me And this isn’t one of those time exaggerating situations, if you go back and watch the cameras I was sat in my seat with zero service waiting on dessert for 30+ minutes The toffee pudding was overly sweet, and the apple crumble starts spilling all over the sides when you try to put your spoon in it. It’s not a well thought out dessert To top it all off, there was a 13.5% service charge. The highest I’ve seen in London. Please do not support this establishment

Had the time out deal of £30 with three courses and a cocktail. The deal was above expectations as my initial understanding was you choose a dish from each course but in fact all three starters and main arrive. Cocktails was absolutely excellent. Service was ok- a large space to cover so was a bit slow due to the large table of 14 next to us. Ambience very nice. Food was excellent. The starters were light and tasteful such as the salad , the tomato and burrata and the salmon with crispy bread. Mains again very good: steak, fish and pasta with mushrooms. Huge portions. Highly recommended , excellent value for money.

Breakfast only - The food was not good. We both had to get our eggs redone (poached and over easy). It seems they grab most things for your plate off the buffet - even if you order a la carte. The cappuccinos were nice but not sure if they had any caffeine lol. Fresh juice was also great. The waitress we had was lovely and checked in on us. And it’s a beautiful spot.
