Terrace At Hilton London Docklands Riverside

Good food, good service. The menu could be a bit more creative, with some more healthier choices (especially for the kids)

Stopping off for a drink in the Columbia Bar after a walk along the Thames, we decided we needed food as well. Chose four of the starters: Korean pork belly, haloumi sticks, calamari and the cauliflower fritters. We were really surprised at the quality as all the dishes were excellent. The staff were polite and efficient and the view of Canary Wharf is quite literally unique. The only letdown was the weather, as it wasn’t warm enough to sit outside. As we only live across the Thames we will be back when it is warmer to enjoy three courses outside.

Below mediocre! Prices way too high for the quality of the food. I had a chicken burger and my friend had the vegetarian pie. Mine was fine, albeit not very hot. My friends was burnt and dry. Called the waiter over and not one apology. No doubt in my mind that the pie was a freezer reheat job. Gross. She asked to send it back and he was fine about it. She ordered a salad for speed as the replacement.... wow how long can it take in a fairly quite restaurant at to make a replacement! Salad was fine, super spicy but more heat than taste. Reality is, if you have to eat here it won’t be a memorable meal... at least not for the right reasons!

I got to attend the Columbia restaurant's pirate themed afternoon tea with a large group of friends yesterday, and it was fantastic. Service is great with friendly staff and prompt service. Sandwich selection as part of the afternoon tea was a bit of an elevated standard, with the typical smoked salmon on cream cheese, tomato and cheese, cucumber this time paired with chicken, and a sausage and piccadilly relish. The scones were fresh and absolutely delicious, super buttery and creamy, very delightful. Finally there was a very thorough cake selection presented, as well as smoothies and parfaits. The group unanimously decided the banana bread was the absolute winner, soft and rich and very well balanced. We had so many options to try and most of them were really fresh and scrumptious. I found a few cakes a little too on the sweet side, and the mocha I ordered was also way too sweet to drink for ky taste. Overall, a brilliant afternoon tea with so many items, lovingly presented in little pirate treasure chests. I enjoyed it a lot and would definitely recommend it.

Ate here during a visit to the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel near by. A good selection of food on the menu, but at London prices. Good service and fairly comfortable. I got the impression that the food was not necessarily made on the site, but was heated up and served. Convinient for the hotel but not somewhere I'd want to make a special trip too, I'm afraid.
