Rotunda Bar and Restaurant - London

I returned to this restaurant for a second time and, once again, the lamb was amazing and cooked perfectly. I recommend ordering a snack or appetizer, as the freshly prepared food may take some time to arrive. The service was pleasant and the seating was comfortable. I appreciated the generous portions of food.

The restaurant was great, but there was some confusion when booking a table for Sunday roasts. I was initially told there would be a delay and had to go back and forth before being seated, which was frustrating. The food was good overall, although my daughter's salmon had to be sent back as it was undercooked. However, other than that, everything else was enjoyable.

The restaurant offers excellent food and is very attentive to special dietary needs. Although they were a little slow taking our order, the service was good overall. The ambiance would be better once they finish the exterior renovations, as the terrace area we had a view of was a bit messy. However, we did enjoy the nice view of the canal. We were initially hesitant to book due to some mediocre reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised by how impressed we were with the food.

Rotunda has the look and feel of one of the larger American or Australian style foods. The beverage menu has many cocktails inspired by Mexican flavors, and the wine list is decent and good. The Easter menu was very substantially, but somewhat inspiring. The meatball starter looked like he had been left under heat too long, and the (Easter) lamb roast was not cooked for perfection. The other appetizers (Ham hock terrine and smoked salmon) seemed to have been a better bet. We also had to ask for additional hardship to go with our Yorkshires who would otherwise have been quite dry. The dessert options were the best part of the meal (cheese board was a little inspiring), with the cheese cake with ginger and Rhabarb being the winner. The service was very good, even if a bit haphazard at times. There is an outdoor area that must be very popular in warmer weather, especially given the location. A TV with football means it could also attract sports fans. Would go back when in the area for drinks and cots, but there is so much to choose from there!

Very good meal and service, as lat time. A must do again!
