For a party of about 20; aged from 2 to nearly 70. You coped with us very well. And special mention goes out to Maria our waitress!
Lovely friendly staff, but a bit cold. Food was yummy
Good service and food but restaurant was cold due to a lack of heating
If I had to make a criticism, it would be that it was a bit cool in the restaurant - but it’s been unusually cold.
Food was good but the tables are crammed in, it felt like we were sitting in the middle of a corridor with people squeezing past our table (nothing like someone’s butt at the height of your plate whilst you’re eating!). Staff weren’t bad but not great either, apart from the lady welcoming they didn’t really smile or do anything over the bear minimum
Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.
Had a great time there on Wed, will come back again
it was efficient,prompt,friendly --really really a lovely experience thank you
Very nice food & excellent service. Perhaps the back ground music could be a bit quieter 👍
Food was excellent and service from our waitress also excellent despite the place being incredibly busy.
Was a great visit, food was good and come out very quick. Will definitely visit again and recommend to friends and family
Great food. Good location. Friendly staff. Would come here again.
Smiley reception. Great food and drinks. All delivered to table in acceptable timing. Lovely staff
Très sympa et calme l’endroit. La serveuse a été très sympathique avec nous. Nos enfants ont bien apprécié leurs plats, mais aussi les nôtres. On a dû reprendre encore du poulet avec curry.🤩
Good timely service and fresh products Good value for money Recommended
The food was tough and bland and tasteless and my toddler refused to eat it. We ended up paying for a completely new meal for him, spending on 4 dishes instead of 3. Very bad experience in terms of the food but the staff were good
Men’s toilet were not good. Leaking and needed cleaning. There was 10 minutes between getting the first persons main course and the last persons. We prefer to all eat together.
I wouldn't go back. - The kids pizza was poor, clearly from a packet. - The All Day breakfast was 50% mushrooms to fill up the plate. - The Katsu Noodles included 1 piece of pepper as the veg quota. Although the server did go and get more vegetables when we complained, it only made 2 out of the 4 meals okay. Sad really as Giraffe used to be quite good but the quality had gone based on this experience.
Comfortable restaurant and good service. Food was great with varied menu catering for all.
Just had coffees. Good location by the bankside and loads of seating. Self service via tablet or with the server. Unfortunately our coffee orders got messed up despite ordering via the tablet, but the team rectified it once we pointed it out.
The nachos were a bit soggy, a little overload on runny cheesy sauce, not much on salsa, not enough guacamole. The burger and chips were only like warm, but the spicy BBQ chicken drumsticks were fantastic.
We had a blast! The staff were very nice, warm and helpful. We went there today as part of our day out to see the London Eye and River Thames cruise. We enjoyed our food and we were even given a surprise when they found out we were celebrating my birthday. Thank you for making our day special, Giraffe staff!
Skate park next to restaurant so noisy which was off putting
Nice for home comfort food and a catch up with friends.
Really great time, food was lovely. And easy to order
Lovely food. Everyone at the restaurant was helpful and polite.
Enjoyed it good service good food choices pleasant lunch thank you
Flat beer and below average good and overpriced. Not great
Nice venue. Food good friendly staff will definitely come again.Thankyou !
Great food and enjoyed our time there. Great service thank you
We all enjoyed our meal and staff were very attentive. Thank you.
When we arrived the staff seemed in disarray. Even though we had booked a table nothing was ready. They finally sorted a table. Even though we had children their food was served last and one of the children’s meal was missed so we had to wait. With all the restaurants in the area we chose this for the children but would not recommend it sadly.
We booked and received reminders but on arrival were told we were not booked. There was a table but you need to investigate communications
Food was small portions and chips were dry and lukewarm.
I haven't been to Giraffe for some years & I have to say it was a big disappointment. You used to do excellent cocktails... last night we could only get very unpalatably sweet premixed cocktails. We only wanted pretty straight forward drinks dry martini etc The waiter was good enough to exchange the passionfruit puree martini for a glass of wine. The Ceasar Salad was pretty average.
WE were a big group - well looked after and the prices were great for the south bank!
On arrival (from the rain) I waited with my children to be seated (we had a reservation) and another couple joined the counter next to us. They were served first with no acknowledgement that we had been waiting, stating they didn’t have a booking etc and I said excuse me but we were here first. The server said he hadn’t noticed because he was busy. Our server was nice and adult food was nice. Kids pizza was not cooked well and my son didn’t eat it. My other child asked for meatballs and pasta which came without the meatballs!
Excellent service and very sweet with our kids. Thanks so much!
Great service. Lovely food. Nice surroundings. Had a great time.
Lovely burgers, and very pleasant sitting on the south bank
The floor manager was excellent. He looked after us and the kids properly.
Super lecker, sehr nett und sehr Kinderfreundlich. Wir waren mit 4 erwachsenen Leuten und 4 Kindern dort. Alle haben etwas leckeres gefunden und waren begeistert.
Great service by staff, and food was great, thank you
Ordered starter and they came out with one of the mains as well I asked them to take back the main then once finished the starters they brought out the mains came out except the previous one that came earlier we started ours and my friend had to wait for hers so rather disappointing really
Food wasn’t great for the price we paid ! Won’t be going there again with kids
Great location and delicious food and also truly amazing service
It’s the 1st time we have eaten at giraffe, we will definitely visit again the next time we come to London. The Staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was great.
Lovely atmosphere for a family lunch and worth it for the river views
Some of the waiting staff were a bit abrupt and intrusive - over keen to clear the table when we were still eating.
I have used Giraffe in the past and it is never disappointing. Good value for money. I booked a table in the terrace as one of my friends and all Was ready for our arrival. Thank you
Everything was great food, atmosphere, service, but the toilets were horrendous.
