Somerset House Terrace Bar with San Miguel - London

I had to organise last minute work drinks and as I wasn’t able to book in advance Eveline was amazing, scoping out a table as soon as it freed up to get us comfortable.

Olivia took care of us for the rest of the evening and made sure we all had a great night out and no one had an empty glass 🙂

Thank you Evie & Olivia. I’m sure we’ll be back to see you again soon. Cheers!!

Went here on a date last night and it was great (the restaurant was great, the date was okay). Evie is an incredible host - personable, smiley, warm, engaging, offers personal favourites, she’s great. Food was incredible (essential: the morcilla, walnut & honey flatbread, not to be missed!!). Pineapple Marg 10/10. I’ll be back for sure. Solo, or with a new date

A wonderful time and great atmosphere.
What really made it special was Kleo, he was an amazing host, was so welcoming and kind! He pointed me towards and ordered me all the drinks and food that I can have given my dietary requirements and it was like he knew what you wanted before you even realised it yourself!

Yesterday, we observed at least three mice running back and forth between the flatbread preparation area and the kitchen. Our table was very close to these areas, which made us quite uncomfortable. When we attempted to bring this to a waiter's attention, he was very kind and assured us he would inform his manager, asking us to wait for a moment.

The manager came over, and we explained the situation. Unfortunately, he responded with an angry stare and said, 'I can't do anything; it's an open area—you'd see this in the tube too.' I pointed out that we don't use the tube to eat and drink, to which he replied with something along the lines of 'no, you'll do,' which was rather odd. His demeanour was very rude.

We simply wanted to make him aware of this health hazard and expected at least an apology for the unpleasant experience, along with a commitment to take appropriate precautions. Instead, he was dismissive and implied that this situation was acceptable and that we should tolerate it.

Additionally, we noticed that the waiters appeared overworked and exhausted, though they were clearly doing their best. It would be beneficial for the team to have better working conditions, especially given that the manager seemed indifferent to these concerns. As King's College London often hosts summer events at this venue, I will be sure to share this negative experience with the university's organising team to ensure they consider other options in the future.

Very enjoyable place to sit and have a drink with friends. Not a huge selection of drinks but should be something for most people. If the restaurant is booked they'll serve you in plastic and you can go sit further down the terrace in the public space. I suggest booking in advance if you are thinking of going, I've not had great luck as a walk in. Pizzas look great, haven't had the opportunity to try them yet, but definitely keen to give them a go!

The food was very good, which I’m pleased about as unfortunately the service was dire. I’ve don’t think I’ve ever left a negative review before, but this does need some improvement. Firstly, although they were helpful in seating us a little earlier than our booking it took 3 people to organise this. It later turned out they had three tables free with reservations not until 7pm, and although we were asking to sit down at around 4pm they didn’t initially want us to have one of those tables. Very odd as we had to leave by 6.10 anyway, and you’d think they’d want more table covers than one for the whole afternoon and evening. We ordered lemonade mocktail without the spice around the edge but it arrived with the spice. Mistakes happen and waitress was apologetic and said she’d send one without, but after we waited around 20 minutes and the replacement hadn’t turned up we asked again. She seemed annoyed and said she’d put the order through again, but the drink never turned up so my friend sat through the meal without a drink. Service was extremely slow (not all tables were full), and we felt as though we were being annoying if we asked for anything (ie: food and drink that should have arrived). The staff didn’t have note pads so the first server said he couldn’t take our order as he wouldn’t remember it, so he got someone else. A lady then took our order (didn’t write it down), then came back 5 minutes later to check she’d got it right before putting our order through! We also had to chase up our flatbread as ours was taken to another table. All in all the location is nice, the atmosphere is nice and the food is good, but the service really needs a boost. Having staff who carry notebooks would help, and ensuring your guests receive what they’d ordered would be good.

It was a lovely venue with friendly staff.
