😐 Seriously amazing views for an evening night out. Definitely a beautiful place with a relaxed yet somewhat posh atmosphere. We went as a group but from some of the meals I can easily say that food is not necessarily their forte. I had ordered oysters as a starter and it tasted great but it ended u...

    Seriously amazing views for an evening night out. Definitely a beautiful place with a relaxed yet somewhat posh atmosphere. We went as a group but from some of the meals I can easily say that food is not necessarily their forte. I had ordered oysters as a starter and it tasted great but it ended up resembling mince meat because I was given the incorrect cutlery. According to the manager on duty, they had a function during the week and haven’t managed to bring the cutlery back from upstairs at that point. I had to use a regular fork for my dainty oysters hence it got ripped to shreds as I attempted to remove it from the shell. The mussels were tasty but the sauce that it was made in tasted as though it came from a packet and real cream hadn’t been used to make it. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it to others for that price. The penne drenched in canned tomato juice wasn’t a hit either. My sister had ordered rib eye steak which is a beautiful cut of meat which is meant to be sliced through like butter. The whole table had a go with different steak knives that were provided with their meal and it honestly was the joke of the evening. I even gave it a try thinking that everyone was exaggerating but I was unfortunately surprised that that was not the case. The manager did however remove it from the bill which was highly appreciated. Otherwise, the staff were friendly and helpful and the vibe is great. I’d rather think of this as a drinking spot rather than an actual restaurant.

    Service is below average. Waiters take too long to serve. Food takes forever to arrive. Save yourself on the Garlic snails but the sauce was good. Very LOUD!

    The food was ok, the structural layout of the restaurant was nice. I am not too sure about the presentation of the meals and the service of the waiters. This upmarket restaurant needs to reposition its offering and ensure quality waiting staffs to retain premium clients.

    A great place, and a must see for anyone in the area. Their prices aren't bad, and the drinks and food was absolutely divine. Although try to make a booking as they get very busy, and also request a seat inside, because people on the roof throw their cigarettes down. (A cigarette landed on our table) Although this might have been a one time accident, i will not sit outside again. This is a MUST VISIT - just sit inside 😉

    Jirrrr 😡 The worst!!! 🙈 It is actually unbelievable!!! Nothing short from daylight robbery. You took some plastic pizza dough, smeared it with tomato sauce, and called it a “pizza”. Well done! I am so offended, because it looks like you guys are getting away with this…

    Vibey place! The music, the atmosphere... Probably if I had come in the afternoon or at night, it would have been a more exciting view from the top. I went there during late lunch anyway, but still, it was an exciting experience to be there. I didn't know it was a half-price cocktail day 🍸🍷🍹; otherwise, I would have kept on drinking like a fish.🤣

    Summit Grill has a nice vibe. We sat on the upper deck bar. It wasn't as packed as usual so we were able to find a place to sit. The lighting by our table was so bad, we had to use our phone flashlights to see the menu. Our waiter, Michael, was an absolute gem. He really took good care of us. The food wasn't so great. The sauce in the penne arrabiata tasted like canned tomato paste warmed up, the penne was not al dente, it was basically raw and bland. The beef in the Mediterranean beef pasta was bland, but the sauce and pasta was delicious. In the ribs and wings combo, the ribs were done to perfection, divine; but the peri-peri wings were bland and hot. The steak with mushroom sauce was magnificent. The steak was a nice medium rare. The platter for 2 was ok. Overall, it wasn't a complete waste, I would go again for drinks and vibes. Side note: try their Summit Speedrail cocktail. It's top tier.

    Absolutely enjoyed our dinner date, we were at the main restaurant, the service was amazing and they made sure we enjoyed our time there. The food was absolutely delicious, the only letdown was the cocktails (Long island) we couldn’t taste the alcohol. The atmosphere was beautiful very intimate perfect for a date night. Andy our waitress was absolutely amazing and she took great care of us.

    Great place, Harry and Nick look after you, all the waiters / waitresses are very attentive. Food is great, Thursday - Sunday DJs playing with sports on plenty of TV's Monday-Wednesday are quieter on the evening. I've eaten most of the menu and haven't had a bad meal! Safe place to relax, enjoy, eat and drink

    Love the joint. Very nice to go with family or friends. It's a nice spot to hang, I also love that they have different floors for different crowds.

    Went there last night hoping to enjoy my birthday dinner, but I wasn't pleased with the reception. 1. The bouncer had a metal detector with him, I don't understand why I still got frisked. 2. There was no one to seat us down. For someone who hasn't bee to the establishment before, it was strange for the same guy who frisked me to say "go upstairs and someone will seat you". 3. I get upstairs, and I wasn't exactly up for that kind of an atmosphere, something someone should have warned me about at the entrance. 4. Went downstairs, waiters just looked by, and only after we proceeded to find a seat ourselves, that's when the guy approached us and sat us down. Despite the logistical nightmare, the food was amazing and the lady (who unfortunately didn't tell us her name) treated us well. I don't know if this is the usual reception or last night was a "special occasion", but I wasn't entirely chuffed.

    Beautiful and gorgeous place, the aesthetics are breathtaking. The food is mouthwatering, I appreciated how quick orders took and just seeing their staff teamwork throughout the day was magnificent. Music choice is accommodating to all, I enjoyed the playlist. definitely coming back :)
