First Edition Wine Bar

I bring my family with me 3 teens and my wife, we spent a wonderful time, food is very good, try the duck rolls and seabass raviolini. Great pleace and service. My daughters were astonished contemplating the young mens gathered there afterwork.

I met a friend here last night (Tuesday evening) for a quick glass of wine. There was some sort of function going on downstairs, so we nipped upstairs to the little alcove at the back. We ordered two small (175ml) glasses of the Shiraz/​Cabernet and a bottle of fizzy water. (The bill was a bit steep at 19 quid, I thought).
The wine could have done with being poured from a great height into the glass. It just needed opening up a little, but was a little metallic and not worth whatever we paid for it.
The ambience was ok for a Tuesday night — about a third full of ‘Wharf’ workers (apparently there is no other wharf in London when you work near here…). There was only one other table occupied upstairs with us, which suited us fine as we were having the most interesting conversation that was probably best not overheard.
The service was friendly, but a little too insistent. We took an hour to drink a glass of wine and bottle of water, and we were asked around seven times if we wanted any more wine or to order some food. That’s a little under ten minutes between visits, which wasn’t too bad, but since we could clearly see the waitress, it wasn’t strictly necessary.
The décor is pretty cold and nothing about this place is very inviting. Still, it’s convenient for my friend’s work and perfectly easy to be in — just don’t expect stunning wine or for the other patrons to be all that interesting.

Amazing food, great wine!

I went for a business lunch — my tuna was overdone, but our food was ok. Nothing special tho.
I think they must have been training new staff as the waiting on girls were slow and inattentive.
Could be great and it should clean up, given its location.

This is a lovely quiet place. I can warmly recommend the chicken ceasar salad.

One of the better bars in Canary Wharf.
Staff are good and are happy either to provide table service or for you to go to the bar. Get’s busy on Thurs & Fri but still less rammed and slightly more civilized than most places in the wharf.
Only potential downside is the numbers of BarCap senior management that always seem to crop-​up here, but as long as you don’t mind making sure you don’t spill your beer on Bob & co it’s all good!
