Had my partners 40th birthday party here on Saturday evening. All the staff are lovely and always smiling and happy to help. The food and drink was spot on and the views by the canal are wonderful. Highly recommend!

We are from Florida, I took my wife here for her birthday. Food was absolutely amazing, we split the chateaubriand steak, which was over 30oz. Try the garlic corn on the cobb as a good side to a main dish. For desert we had chocolate cake and apple pie. Staff was very helpful and attentive. Menu is modern with a great selection of small plates. Location is convenient to Kings Cross station. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good steak and casual atmosphere.

I have had a wonderful experience at Rotunda Bar and Restaurant. Reem our waitress was so welcoming and amenable. She made this experience utterly memorable. I hope to return again in the near future. Well done Rotunda!

Had a great meal here. Honestly one of the best steaks I’ve had in the UK. Excellent wine selection too. Any cellar with a South African red from Swaartland means business. Loved it!

Rotunda was fantastic! My wife and I attended a “Meet the Maker” Wine Dinner with Vieira de Sousa, and it was an incredible experience. The dinner was held in a private room and the food was excellent—generous portions and perfectly paired with the wine, bringing out the best in each dish. The wine itself was exceptional, and the winemaker’s passion truly came across, adding to the enjoyment. The hosts were warm and welcoming, creating a comfortable atmosphere. We had plenty of opportunities to ask questions about the wine, and the explanations were both informative and engaging. Overall, it was a wonderful night, and we’re hoping they hold more events like this in the future.

I was actually very surprised by the quality of the steak given the price! We chose to go for bottomless and while they were a little slow to begin with when it came to top ups, they more than made up for it later. Service was great and it was a beautiful setting sitting out by the canal. It was also dog friendly! Shout out to Rem who made our visit extra wonderful.

Honestly absolutely amazing. We arrived at 11am for a bottomless brunch for my friends hen do and our server, Reem, was brilliant! Attentive, personable, respectful, professional... Just 10/10 service. I would 100% recommend anyone to come here, the atmosphere is lovely, absolutely beautiful right by the riverside. Food was stunning, most of us ordered steaks which were beautifully cooked and the attentiveness to topping up with drinks was second to none. We were all so happy with how our experience was and would come back anytime we're in London!

Always a magical experience! Sitting in the sunshine by the canal, watching the passing cabaret of pleasure craft and barges heading by. A glass of champagne, the nibble of a canape, sharing some hummus before ta da, the grand reveal... a succulent rack of herb encrusted Texel rack of lamb! Stephen the chef kindly introduced himself, he’s certainly nailed perfection when it comes to his craft. Such a warm friendly team, we enjoyed the perfect Sunday lunch at the most perfect of venues.
