I used to go for breakfast fairly often as I worked in the building. It's nice, good food, good service - just what I would expect. Location is nice too - on a sunny day!

Cracking location/view, convenient, decent food, very reasonably priced. Don't expect Michelin-style cooking, as the food is a bit more rough and ready than that - but the place has a good sense of occasion nevertheless.

Is this like Burger & Lobster and you have to choose either a duck or a waffle?

Yeh I've been a few times, its good, the food is quite varied and there are some great dishes. Obviously the duck and waffle, but I really like the bacon wrapped dates and the pollock meatballs. Also the gruyere bread is lovely.

Beware,they make their cash on the drinks, properly pricey drinks but the food is pretty reasonable.

It's actually true to its name and you can get a duck and waffle dish.
Burger and Lobster should really change their name to Burger or Lobster... smile

I've eaten at most top London restaurants, and let me tell you, as an overall experience, Duck & Waffle is hands down the best evening out I've ever had for dinner. The location, the views, the food (oh the food!), the cocktails, the buzz of the place.

I now recommend it to everyone. Their signature dish (Duck & Waffle, with a duck's egg and maple syrup) is actually to die for. Nobody could talk whilst eating as it was just so amazing! Everything about the place is just perfect.

Only ever been once, off my tits at 6am, somehow we managed to blag the private dining room, probably because we were a dozen drunkards and wanted to hide us away.
Didn't eat, the tequila was good. Food looked interesting (in a good way).

Hahah, nothing like that sadly.

I just turn off most of my vital functions when I'm wasted beyond belief, I only retain the power of unassisted breathing and a modicum of slobbering and stumbling.
Having an appetite doesn't figure in the shortlist.

I wasn't too keen on the food. That might be because as I was not paying someone just ordered sharing platters of things that I would not have chosen.

We went there for a 4am breakfast after a charity ball.

Food's excellent and good value while the booze is expensive. The four of us paid just over £100 inc service for a dish and glass of fizz each. The operation is never going to be cheap to run.

Echo most of the others, very enjoyable experience - views are fantastic on a sunny day, signature dish just works and very well too, good vibe.

Have been back a few times so that says it all. Funnily enough only ever for breakfast/ brunch.

Only slight marker is the service has been average on a couple of visits.

We went today for A Father's day brunch. We shared a few plates between us (me, the OH and our 5 year old), pollock meatballs were probably the highlight for me, although the Ox cheek doughnuts and the signature duck and waffle were very bloody good. The views are pretty impressive too.

Would I go back.... Absobloodylutey
