The trout was a little different than we were used to, tasted more like salmon. But still very good. The pie had a flaky crust and lots of filling. Very good as well.

We had spotted The Refinery the night before while exploring and headed over. It is a large place with lots of indoor and outdoor seating, we sat inside. I ordered Eggs Benedict, a familiar item I saw on the menu. It was very good, the Hollandaise sauce seemed a bit sweeter than I usually find, and although small, the slices of ham were like real slices and not some preprocessed formed stuff. I could clearly identify the saltiness. An observation, my Benedict did not come with any sides, unlike in the US where you would expect a pile of potatoes and maybe slices of toast. No one topped off my American coffee either, another observation. Service was great, loved the place, and the meal did not take too long.

The location on the river was stunning and mysterious, with sexy, moody lighting that made the whole place feel like a chic scene out of a movie. Exactly the vibe we were going for as we like to give expensive, stylish, and fun feels. We started with three amazing appetizers: a beautifully fresh seafood starter, a creamy burrata, and a delicate carpaccio. Then came the flatbreads straight from the wood oven which was crispy, bold, and just what we needed for sharing. For mains, the burgers were juicy and really elevated, the trout was perfectly cooked and flaky, and every bite tasted just as good as it looked (kinda small though). The drinks were fabulous! Especially the martinis, which were smooth, cold, and exactly what we needed. 4 starts is because the service wasn't that great, like, seriously. So much so that I would rather not talk about it and just give the -1 star. Stylish atmosphere, gorgeous river views, and great food and drinks... The Lighterman absolutely delivered on every level for our celebration dinner. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a sexy, special night out in London.

Decent food, but service leaves much to be desired…read more We had a pretty large group here for a work dinner. Ended up ordering a bunch of food to share. Since it was a large group, it was understandably a little chaotic when it comes to ordering/ getting peoples attention. It also didnt help that the the restaurant was not exactly the quietest. Our server was not the most pleasant and at times bordering rude. We realized towards the end of our meal that we probably didnt order enough food, so we tried to order more food, but was somehow met with resistance. That was shocking to me. Overall a decent choice for dinner, but there's probably other better options around.

We asked upon arrival if we could have the heat lamps turned on to help with the cold outside, but that never happened. Service was very sporadic and we could never get the same person twice so you kept having to repeat your requests - the only time I got prompt service was as soon as they put down the food they immediately asked for payment. :) We ordered the fish & chips and the bangers & mash and a daily soup. Asking a question of what the daily soup was required the server to disappear to find the answer, and only returned with half an answer. Both of the main dishes were fiiiine, but given the fact that they gave us the food but no utensils or napkins and took a long while to get those to us the food had gone pretty cold by then. Honestly, this entire experience could have been a lot better with better service all around.

We originally headed over to the Anchor Tap pub to enjoy some pub food since we had just arrived in London earlier in the day and had built up quite the appetite. Unfortunately, they stopped serving food already, so while looking for a nearby place to grub we ran into this place. Wow. ...and not in a good way. The bald headed bartender that day could not have been much more rude and dismissive if he tried. I attempted to place an order at the bar (as this is apparently how it is done out here) and was told, "Wait at a table, I'm helping these people." He pointed at a table of 4 who were already eating. Ok. So we sat. and sat. and waited. and waited. He never made any attempt to make any kind of contact after that. We sat there for about 15 more minutes before deciding eff this. The only other employee there that we saw was a young lady who kept wiping down the same 2 tables over and over. (??) By the time we got up and walked out of the place, there were at least 2 other couples sitting at tables waiting to be acknowledged. That guy needs to find a new line of work. What a rude, miserable little man. We were there practically begging them to take our money and business and they simply weren't interested. Unless you enjoy hostile and rude service for no apparent reason, I would avoid this place like the plague. 1 star.

My wife ordered the Wagyu sliders and the portion was disappointing. She received 3 sliders and each was smaller than a macaroon. Considering the sliders cost only £3 less than the entire wagyu burger, we expected a similarly sized serving. I ordered onion rings as a side for my steak. Our food was brought out without the side of onion rings. I asked the server about the onion rings and was told she would check. She never came back, I finished my meal, and the table was cleared. I never received the onion rings despite asking multiple times. Our original waitress never returned to our table, so I couldn't even find out if she ever put in the order. I ordered my steak medium rare, but it was cooked closer to medium and even leaning towards medium well. Unfortunately, we won't be returning to Christopher's.

Cocktails: I've been here before just for hot cocktails in winter. It is a really pleasant, quiet place for a drink.

Some of the seating is weird (tables and ottomans... ottomen? at weird heights). Anyway, even with the crazy crowd, our waitress was attentive and made sure we were tended to. And anyway, the cocktail menu is so extensive that you'll need some time to decide. The drink descriptions are also... unique, to say the least. Not the most helpful, but something to read. I had two drinks - the Comfortably Numb (chili, lychee liquor, vodka, Szechuan pepper and Tabasco). It wasn't as spicy as the menu made it out to be, and the flavors mixed together well. Not too fruity either. It came in a weird conical glass. My second drink was the Precious Flavour, made with rum, cointreau, amaretto and bitters. Very well balanced, and you get a hint of everything. Most cocktails run £9-10, so it's pretty affordable to boot!
