Went here for dinner and it was amazing! The view was beautiful as well as the food. They got some pretty good gluten free bread. Service is great too. There's also a stool for your bag next to the table.

I came here for dinner with work friends and we had a great time - talk about a view from your seat at the restaurant - and the food was very good and the service was excellent. We had a variety of appetizers, and it is hard to say what was better the steak or the lobster ravioli: I'd also recommend having the bartender shake you up a vodka martini. If you walk out of here hungry, something is wrong!
Be the first to ReplyCome for the views, not the flavor.
Mediocre service and flashy food that lacked inspiration; not the dining experience we expected from a Michelin star. As you approach City Social, you're greeted with a metal detector and a coat check and then you head up the lift for what we hope would be a memorable London dining experience. We were early, so we were sat in front of the window at the bar area. The views are truly spectacular and definitely the highlight of the evening. After sometime, we were greeted by a server to take our drink order. We ordered two specialty cocktails and it was quite obvious the server knew very little about the menu. The drinks were fantastic. City Social's best people seem to be behind the bar. We also had a great experience with the sommelier that was as fun as they were knowledgable.We sat for an extended period of time before someone finally came over and took our order. We ordered the scallop, the prawn/lobster ravioli, and the lobster tail salad. The appetizers looked nice, but the flavors fell flat. The prawn/lobster ravioli was my personal favorite, but even that was underwhelming. When we come to restaurants like these we hope to taste something new, but the appetizers were just not that interesting. The main courses were more of the same. The duck was good, but pretty standard. Nothing to write home about. Dessert was good. I would actually say the drinks and dessert were the only shining moments of the evening. If I were to come back to City Social, it would likely be for drinks and a dessert and to enjoy the views. That being said, if you're coming for an inspiring Michelin star meal, I would look elsewhere.
Be the first to ReplyI was invited to this restaurant for an exclusive
I was invited to this restaurant for an exclusive networking event. It was a 5 course meal that did not disappoint! Everything was delicious. It is honestly the most beautiful meal I've ever had. Every dish was explained and there was plenty of wine to go around as well as cocktails on demand. I wish I had taken pictures of every dish, but I was too distracted being immersed in the experiences. The company putting on the event hired the Chef's table which has a beautiful view of St. Paul's cathedral and central London; as well as a window into the restaurant's kitchen where you can see the food being prepared. The room was just the right size. Even though there were about 14 of us, it felt intimate and everyone could talk with each other around the table. I was surprised as usually round tables of 10 are very awkward yet this one, which was for a bigger party felt cozy. I definitely recommend it.

We were excited to celebrate my wife's birthday at City Social which is decorated with one Michelin star. The view at the restaurant is impeccable! It's located in the heart of London with lots of high rise buildings. We were able to see the Shard and the Gherkin! We arrived early around 5 pm, so we were guided to their bar area for a few drinks. The cocktail, wine, and spirits selections were wonderful. My cocktail Honey Moon was great! They even have non alcoholic cocktail option that was good as well. It was a beautiful restaurant surrounded by all the city lights. When the dinner room is open, we were invited to the dinner table. Their sourdough bread with onion and chive butter was great! Very delicious. We started with their beef tartare and scallops. The beef tartare was different than the typical beef tartare. The beef was in bigger chunks and the sauce was more vinegar based. I felt the flavor was simple, almost too simple that I wasn't impressed. The scallops starter was wonderful! Layers of flavors and beautifully plated food. It was the highlight of the evening. My main entree was the sea bass with calm chowder based sauce. Beautiful plate, but the overall taste was too salty for me. The portion was solid, but I wasn't impressed by the flavors. It wasn't bad, but I was certainly expecting more from a one star Michelin restaurant. The rib eye steak wasn't impressive neither. We definitely had much better rib eye from a regular restaurant before. Overall, we enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate the birthday dinner at a beautiful restaurant; however, I was disappointed by the food. I was hoping to be blown away by their award winning flavors.

First experience at a Michelin restaurant, it did not disappoint. Was very luckily to get a reservation on short notice. Everything from drinks, food, dessert and service was beyond anything I've ever had. The view was pretty nice as well. Will definitely try and visit whenever in London.

Amazing food and incredible views - plus the service wasn't to be matched. The staff was courteous and friendly, and even took us on a tour to see multiple views and a peek in the kitchen. Overall a great experience!
Be the first to ReplyAmazing dinner with views!!!! Probably my favorite in
Amazing dinner with views!!!! Probably my favorite in London so far. We went for my birthday and I would not have wanted it any other way! The scallops, sea bass, and rest all were amazing. Get the apple dessert. It was phenomenal and the perfect way to end our meal.
Be the first to ReplyBest view in the city of London.
The atmosphere is gorgeous and welcoming. I was a bit taken back when I had to go through a metal detector but now I know why...we are atop the building with the most beautiful view. The scallops appetizer is a must have. The sauce is absolutely fantastic. The wine selection is out of this world. Literally from all over the world. One will definitely find the right wine to accommodate the evening's entree. Hold your breath, I just tried the sea bass and rib eye. The steak was so juicy and leave a taste that makes you want more and the sea bass was so delicious that I was tempted to lick the plate. I have no idea how yelp has this restaurant with 4 stars when the food is this good and the staff simply incredible. If I lived here in London this would be my restaurant on a weekly basis. Bon appetite.
Be the first to ReplyOMG where do I start? The location and the view to die for.
Amazing views of the city. The restaurant has a great vibe modern Michelin start style. As soon as we arrived we were seated by the window with amazing views. As for the food, it took us a while to decide between the testing menu which look delicious and a la cáete menu. We opted for a la carte. Also we were deciding between a burgundy and Bordeaux and the French sommelier came and helped us with great suggestions. Good was very elegant and delicious. We had the scallops carpaccio and crab Devon for appetizers. We also ordered the pasta dish, lamb neck raviolo. All incredible. For main course we had: short rib dish and ribeye. And to top it off, we had the soufflé and the chocolate dessert. They were both amazing and the presentation impecable. We even had 2 little glasses of Graham's 20 Tawny Port, delicious. Can't wait to be in London again and come back to City Social! A
Be the first to ReplyFantastic views of London with food & service to match!
Fantastic views of London with food & service to match! Foodwise: The Devon Crab stole the show early on so that's a must try. We ended up splitting the Côte de Boeuf since it came with Truffle Mac & Cheese and some delicious green beans. Everything was fantastic, from the first drinks (Espresso Martini & Spritz'ish) to the dessert which was a passion fruit, white chocolate, & raspberry dream. Service was very very attentive, they were almost mind readers with each thought that came ti mind they were already on top of it. I've also never had the option to pick my steak knife before, that was a cool little touch. Kudos to this spot, you won't regret taking someone special here for an enchanting dinner experience.
Be the first to ReplyThe evening began with bubbles as all good evenings do.
The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful and attentive. As our table took in the splendid views this space has to offer with a view of the Gherkin directly ahead and the Shard to our right. We enjoyed fresh baked bread and whipped butter before the starters arrived. The staff made excellent wine recommendations as we made our dinner selections. My culinary experience began with the Devon Crab on brown crab toast which was amazing. The flavours of the bitter leaf salad and nashi pear complimented this perfectly light start to the meal. The main of Sea Bass with Jerusalem artichoke, confit chicken, spring cabbage in a truffle sauce was a dish I would definitely enjoy again. Albeit a celebration night we chose not to partake in a dessert but finish with espresso martinis. I was surprised by the staff with a small birthday treat which left this American Southern boy in London charmed and delighted, y'all - this is a great place to enjoy a special occasion.

My boyfriend booked city social weeks in advance for Valentine's Day which was also his birthday. We did not receive the requested table but instead they tried to seat us practically on top of two other tables. Meanwhile, the requested tables sat empty. However, the most offending part was that there was a large piece of plastic cooked into the chicken in the second course. Disgusting. The manager apologized and said that our bill would reflect the mistake on their part. Did it? No. They offered to comp two glasses of champagne. Our meal was over 500 pounds (640 US). Do not eat there.
Be the first to ReplyThe food was average at best and the atmosphere was loud
The food was average at best and the atmosphere was loud and confused. We ordered a very nice bottle of wine and the wine was brought out in a decanter with the empty bottle placed next to it. We never saw the bottled opened and was never shown the bottle at all. When I asked to see the cork the server came back 10 minutes later and said he could not find it. WTF!!! You can draw your own conclusion from that episode. The entire evening was underwhelming. i do not know how they retain a Michelin star. Avoid this place.
Be the first to ReplyThe first time we ate here was a great experience.
The food and service were both top notch. We did have a lot of trouble figuring out how to get in but soon forgot that frustration once we got to the restaurant. It was a truly memorable night. We were very excited to go back and repeat our first impression. Sadly that didn't happen. The only thing I can say was good about the evening was my cocktail. The waiter wanted our food order before our drinks even arrived at the table. He was snippy the entire meal. No one ever asked us if we like our food or if there was anything else we wanted. Our entrees were average at best. The appetizers were much more fluff than substance - tiny and expensive, and everyone involved in the dinner was disinterested or just perfunctory. I can't imagine how they are keeping that Michelin star.
Be the first to ReplySo the place was nice, little difficult to find.
Went into tower 42 and was told to exit, go left then left again and ill see a sign for it. Was greeted by a metal detector and told elevator on the right at the end. Elevator had only two buttons. One for 24th and 42nd. 24th was city social. Sat at the bar before out reservation and had a drink. The bartenders were nice had some small talk, even sampled a drink. We sat at our table and was greeted by a polite waiter and waitress. We were given bread with VERY delicious butter. We ordered a starter of scallops, £19 or like $24. It was small, very small. 3 Scallops the size of a £2 coin ($.50 piece) it was ok but not worth the price in my opinion. We order our mains. Wife had the lamb and i had the rib eye. Wife loved her lamb although it was a small portion for £37 or $50. My steak is where the stars drop. It was so thin. My iPhone in a case was as thick as the steak (not exaggerating) it was £32 or $45. Very flavorless, they brought to boats of sauce for it which were good but the ribeye seemed more like a Skirt steak than an actual ribeye (ima steak guy, had several tomahawks at restaurants) but being it had zero flavor was bad for me. The chips it came with were fried in duck fat. They were good but very small portion as well. Its a Michelin star restaurant so i see why its expensive but that steak was complete trash compared to ones I've had at mom and pop steak houses. So the bartenders i give 5 stars but over all i cant give more than four.
Be the first to ReplyGo through the ugly magnetometer side entry (they need to
Go through the ugly magnetometer side entry (they need to refresh) and up to the 24th floor where a dimly lit interior greets you finally. You notice the black low shiny ceiling with little spots of light over the white linen tables mostly but the semi circular booths and bar like atmosphere throughout exude a level of cool as well. Great city views through as well. Our Parisian server was quite nice and explained the dishes and gave us some recommendations. We had a seasonal fresh tomato salad as an appetizer..lots of pesto- very pretty with edible flowers and a wafer of goat cheese. I had rabbit and my husband chicken- I think I preferred the chicken but both were very good. Lots of interesting flavors and beautifully prepared.
