10/10We love coming here before a show or after a matinee for the tea. — Full vegan option! Food always delicious… and beautiful view of The Thames & St. Paul’s. Also LOVE the “invisible chips” menu item — buy them to support artists in need.

10/10This was my third visit to The Swan and it did not disappoint. The location is excellent with lovely views over the Thames. The staff and service are very good and the food superb. It's not the cheapest but worth it for the location, ambience and good food.

5.5/10The room was too cold and a draft across our table. Even with a jumper, it was cold. ....................................................................................................................................................................

10/10We visited for lunch but decided to have afternoon tea when we arrived and saw it served to a nearby table. This should have been prebooked but our server said it would be no trouble at all. At the end she surprised us with a plate of chocolates including a candle having overheard us toasting my husband's birthday. Delicious tea and excellent service.

8.5/10The restaurant has a great appearance inside and in reliable views of the Thames outside. Husband's meal was lovely. Mine could have done with being a little hotter. Otherwise great.

6.5/10Staff were courteous and efficient but rather aloof as if they were doing us a favour. Food was ok but terrine was underseasoned and risotto could have been hotter

5.5/10Unfortunately the menu was disappointing the veg open ravioli was very bland tasted like unseasoned potato salad location is excellent but the food was not worth the distance I traveled for a roast dinner what I can get anywhere

7/10The restaurant, decor and ambience are nice which is what brought us back. Unfortunately the food didn’t match. We had the set menu and the main course turkey dish was poor. One slice of processed turkey, almost no gravy, one parsnip and a hard bit of over cooked, cold bacon. Thank goodness for the side dishes we paid extra for which were hot and filling. The tiramisu dessert was very runny too.. I was also brought the wrong wine, happily kept it but all in all not worth the £100+ we paid. A shame as it was a Christmas treat.

10/10Food, ambience and service were excellent could not fault anything here. The venue was so cosy and welcoming. I am so looking forward to my next visit now my new favourite.

9/10The restaurant is excellent and the view over the Thames to St. Paul’s adds to the special atmosphere there. The service was attentive and friendly. The food is good, modern Continental/British and my group didn’t feel hurried or pressured to leave the table before we were ready. An excellent and stylish venue.

10/10The food was delicious and the setting delightful. From the upstairs bar we had a wonderful view of the river. There was a buzz about the place and the service was excellent. Such a treat!
