What SLBJ19 doesn't like about 5th View And Food Waterstones:
Massively over-priced uninspiring cocktails, Bar/restaurant was fairly quiet yet tables left uncleared until we sat down and the staff were too busy chatting to each other instead of serving customers. Very disappointing visit and do not recommend, plenty of other nice places to go for a drink. View all feedback. What Noah Hughes likes about 5th View And Food Waterstones:
excellent service. I had the 2 for 1 cocktail promotion. unexpectedly, I decided to have a tee and finally I got the cocktail offer. more beautiful and quiet place to read or have a nice conversation. I suppose it would be gratifying as it was to end. for one. View all feedback.

Had a drink here because we would have a view here. There was a view, but that's all.

Sadly this lovely location is now very shabby, serving low quality food. The vibe is 80s cafeteria. It really needs modernising!!

Nestled atop Waterstones on Piccadilly, this restaurant offers stunning views of the London skyline and a welcomed respite from the bustling streets below. While the ambiance is charming and ideal for pre-theatre gatherings, experiences vary significantly. Some guests praise the attentive service and delicious cocktails, while others report slow service and a lack of warmth from staff. Despite mixed feedback on food quality and pricing, many appreciate the spacious setting and enjoyable atmosphere. With half-price cocktails and a cozy vibe, it's a potential gem for social outings, albeit with some areas needing improvement for a more consistent experience.
