We had a lovely view across the river and we ate really great food. The service was good as well. Good value for money. Highly recommend.

Dined at lunchtime. Nice place, not to big with plenty of attentive staff. Table was ready for us early so we had the choice to have some pre-lunch drinks at our table or on comfy sofas. Food excellent, very good and varied menu choices. Had a nice table overlooking river and great views but it appeared all tables offered a good outlook. Will definitely return but perhaps in the evening.

No Pizza, although on the menu - something about problem with the oven. As a vegetarian ordered the only veg main - macaroni cheese. Main came in a small bowl. Not even on a plate, no salad. Overall a terrible experience.

I visited The Pepys Riverside Bar & Restaurant for a colleague's leaving lunch. My company had used this restaurant previously for social functions and had recommended it. The food was good, staff very pleasant and view amazing. I would recommend this restaurant.

THe service is extremely slow, especially on a Friday, but the food is good. It's a good idea to just order as soon as possible and prompt staff if you don't receive food within 30 minutes.

Staff very friendly. Food good, maybe a little slow. Lovely setting on river, but very hot - no fans / air con and windows couldn't be opened. Reasonably priced.

Lovely bar. Really nice setting with a great view over the river. Very attentive staff. Bit of a wait when going to bar, but waitress service at table was excellent. I would definitely go back.

Atmosphere, staff and venue are great, unfortunately the chicken dish was undercooked and we were told it is chicken thighs so should look pink.......it was definitely under cooked.

The service at the table was a Very friendly service, there is an absolute great view over the Thames, the food was ok. Next time we would go for a drink and a snack but not for a diner, other guests were having a real good time but very loud. Which is a great atmosphere but not when you want to have diner conversations.

thought the food was below average, don't order the tomato salad, it barely had any buratta and so you basically pay £7 for a couple tomatoes. The calamari was over fried and rubbery and the steak bland. Also it was one of the staffs last evenings there and so the staff was all over the place, sprayed champagne in the bar area which was close to our table, was load and running around screaming. the restaurant was very hot. wont be back, unprofessional.

We spent a great evening catching up with family here. The food was good as was the service. We had booked a river view table and enjoyed watching all the passing river traffic. The only disappointment was that the outdoor area was blocked off for a party. Also be aware that the music is loud. We would return.

Decent food but the menu has changed and seem to have less options. Each time we go we are seated next to the balcony outside and the staff keep opening the doors bringing on the wind and making the food and atmosphere very cold.
