Barristers Rooftop Gardens

We arrived in good time for our reservation and were shown to our table and a drinks order was placed .This took some time to arrive as the waitress said she could not find one of the wines which we ordered, this took her some 15 minutes to fulfil our drinks order, when she returned with it she took the food order, returning some time later to inform us that an item was unavailable so she was immediately informed of a second choice, only to be told some minutes later that it to was unavailable so a further re order was made .One hour twenty minutes after our arrival we had our starters we paid for what we had had (drinks &starters)and left the restaurant without having our main course. further to this the music was far too loud and conversation was almost impossible. Overall we had a very disappointing experience.

Wouldnt recommend. Went in with couple of friends on a Saturday. Music was so loud that we could not talk to each other. Waitors were rude and could not be bothered to serve. We left without having dinner after spending 15min. I have been following up to get my deposit back and every time I call, I am promised a call back which hasnt yet happened. Also met others who were sat outside waiting for drinks for over 45min. Absolutely horrible service. Will not be going back.

Great ambience; love how they have transformed it into a restaurant/bar. Great food, reasonably priced too. Friendly and quick service.

We arrived for a birthday party afternoon tea which we had been organising with the venue for several weeks. We'd ring a head to confirm the booking we'd rung ahead and pre-ordered. In both cases we were told everything was fine. On arrival our booking wasn't on the system. We showed our booking reference email. We were told they could fit us in at 4pm; we'd arrived for our 2pm booking. The waiter tried his best to sort us out , though we (a party of 7) we're disappointed. They discounted our food to make up for the mess. Not a great first visit. Not sure we'll be back. I'd have been disappointed if we'd paid full price for the food as we've had better elsewhere. Hopefully this is just a one off for them.

Excellent and unique ambiance: it 's an old court room, with high ceilings, a glass dome in the middle, and walls covered with paintings, images and mirrors. Staff equally excellent, and the unexpected bonus of live music: two girls, an acoustic guitar and 60s songs. My wife and I thought we were in the TV show 'First Dates ' except that the Barristers is more charming and elegant. Absolutely lovely. I gave five stars only because you cannot give more.
