Sushisamba (bar)

Brilliant door staff at ground level, lift journey is amazing (and free - why do we pay for the London Eye when the view from here is gratis??). What a shame the bar staff (particularly her with the cool neck tattoo - I had plenty of time to study this...) are rubbish at identifying who was next in the queue. No eye contact, and then pre-occupied with serving the restaurant drinks, two different cocktail menus which meant that pointing to the bottom of one menu got you a completely different drink. We waited 30 minutes for someone to serve us and plenty of punters were served before us who arrived later. Perhaps we didn't fit with the decor??

Fabulous views, staff are approachable and friendly. Happy to make conversation and share a joke. Drinks are pricey but not OTT. Inside is comfortable but loud. OUtside is great on warm day.. too windy when cold. You need to find one of the fireplaces. Bar is very nice. Cocktails were spot on (4 out of 5 times). Overall, OK and good enough but not amazing.

breathtaking view!! sophisticated cocktails! very good and polite service! If u don't like this, u're only the classic pathetic type of a Saturday night out to get drunk!
