Very good tasting menus. I had Christmas special and a bit of warning don’t get this tasting menu if you are in a rush. The courses overall is about 3 hours. Great wine selection. Always a good few bars in southplace hotel after dinner too.

Had dinner there Friday the 16^th. 8^th floor rooftop restaurant. Very attentive staff. Well prepared food and tasty. The wait was a bit long for the courses. Price is modestly expensive but there is a less costly set menu I’ll have to try. Michelin Star? Reservations make sense. Terrace is very nice for afternoon coffee/​cocktails if the weather is good.

Excellent food — was a nice surprise to discover this in the area since good restaurants are somewhat lacking near Liverpool St. I had the set menu for lunch — crab, apple and celeriac salad starter with a pork loin main. Both were delicious. Great place for business lunches but would definitely go back on my own time.

One of the best Restaurants in the city. The food and service are fantastic!

Restaurant in the South Place hotel.
Good solid Conran food.
Nice fish, and good meat

The restaurant is in a great location on the top floor of the South Place Hotel, a short walk from Liverpool Street. It looks like a modern, crisp place. The outside deck looks like a cool spot for some drinks with friends.
We had a warm welcome from everyone — right from the ground floor until we were lead to our table. The surroundings raised our expectations: the white linen tablecloth and the comfortable booth.
We actually came here to have the 3 course set menu, but we changed our minds after browsing the a la carte menu.
They have a «Crustacea» section at the start. We ordered two Orkney Island langoustines and two Cherrystone clams. I don’t know what I had been expecting, but I was impressed with the display of fresh seafood when it was brought to our table with all of the accompaniments. The langoustines perched on the crushed ice, the lemon wrapped in gauze and the different condiments below. I had no idea how to properly attack my langoustine, but it was fun to try! I pretty much snapped it in half and isolated the tail. I carefully peeled off the shell segments and after a minute of this, I was holding a tasty morsel of langoustine. I squirted some lemon juice over the piece and devoured it. I still had the carnage of ripped-​apart crustacean on my plate. But I had reached a dead end for eating it, based on my limited skills.
We also ordered the shellfish ravioli with tomato & chive butter and ginger slaw to share for an entrée. It was delicious, but you only got one of them. Note to the restaurant: ravioli is the plural of raviolo, you need to update your menu.
We both had fish courses for mains as we expected this would be their strength. I had roast halibut with brown shrimps, capers, butter and parsley. The waiter warned me that there would be bones in mine, so I was getting prepared for the careful process I would need to follow with my cutlery. (I even quickly looked up a video online with my mobile!) When the dish came out, however, it was clear that there would be no such hassle. True, there was a big bone down the middle, but this was very easily negotiated. We had sides of chips and cabbage and the whole dish was delicious.
My wife had the roast fillet of turbot, which came with red wine braised squid, fennel purée and sea purslane. It was nicely cooked and also tasted good.
We each had a dessert: the apricot parfait and the hazelnut cake. They were well presented. Nothing special, but good solid desserts.
There was confusion over the bill. It was obvious that they had charged us £30 each for the set menu plus what we had ordered off the a la carte menu. There was no argument when we brought this to their attention and the bill was amended.
