Sea Containers Restaurant

We were staying at the hotel and didn't have a reservation for the restaurant. Hostess was accommodating and was able to squeeze us in for dinner as walk ins. Food was good. Ambiance was nice. If you're staying at the hotel, not a bad idea to give it a try.

Long story short, I was craving an actual Thanksgiving meal because I'm from CA, and so we tried to find a last minute Thanksgiving lunch and found Sea Containers! I had never really hard of this restaurant before so I wasn't sure what to expect -- but the meal was delicious! The turkey, especially, was great. We also agreed that the portion size was generous given the cost!

Good food. Nice service. Ambiance is beautiful. Will try again. Good for a hotel restaurant

Overall the food quality and taste was good.
The service though took a bit of time and it wasn't even that busy, we kept having to chase for drinks and water.
Interior decor was really cool.

This place wasn't nothing special . Food was very plain and need more flavor . Service was just ok not great . I wasn't to impressed specially because the other places in this hotel are amazing . We had potato soup , some crab toast , salmon appetizer ( wasn't to bad ) and side macaroni ( which for me was the best thing and did had flavor ) . Music was kind of boring and it kind of took our energy ..
This food needs more flavor for sure ! Hopefully it gets better since their location is so nice !

I was a guest of the Mondrian and decided to have dinner at Sea Containers. We came in for our 10:30pm reservation on a night that wasn't very busy. Unfortunately, our server appeared completely uninterested and the food left much to be desired. The presentation was absolutely lacking, from the cocktails to the way each dish was plated. How could any self-respecting chef send out food that looked that plain or messy?

The fried chicken was overcooked, to the point that it was tough, chewy and inedible. There was no sign of any avocado in the crab toast, the porchetta was overpowered by the anchovy, making it also inedible, there was almost no dressing on the salad. The skirt steak was well prepared, but definitely lacked in flavor, especially for something that is supposed to have Cajun seasoning.

I haven't the faintest idea why this place has four stars. The atmosphere is stunning, but the service and the the food just do not measure up. I would not recommend this restaurant for food. For drinks, it's a great spot. For dinner...no. We were gravely disappointed.

Came to Sea Containers for a refreshing adult beverage. Got sorta lost looking for Lyaness and ended up here. So, what did I do... Pulled up a seat and ordered a glass of prosecco.

I didnt have any food, so my experience here is very limited (which is why the rating is 3 stars). The service was OK. One thing I found interesting is if you start a tab they lock your CC in a box. Pretty neat way to show some level of security with your info.

OK hotel bar. If I were in the area id come back again, but I wouldnt go out of my way.

Great food and service. I recommend stay at the hotel as well. It's well situated in the middle of London.

I am so happy we decided to have dinner at Sea Containers today, it's downstairs in our hotel at the Mondrian. Everything was just so darn good!

You must try this restaurant you will not be disappointed

We decided to have a late brunch at Sea Containers following our quick check-in at the hotel.

Service was disorganized from the start. We were seated outside where service went from bad to worse. Our table was wobbly, and our server took his sweet time trying to fix it after we pointed it out to him. Instead of adjusting the wobble with a folded up piece of cardboard or paper, he decided that it was best to adjust the table itself, then once that failed, used a bottle cap that still did not quite level the surface and he thought it was good enough. No, dude. It wasn't.

Back to the server - he was rather unfriendly and gave a general air of ineptitude. His tone was unpleasant and flippant - clearly did not want to work today.

Our cocktails were served to us an eternity later, and our server realized we were without the requested water at this time. Whilst pouring our water, he also proceeded to pour it all over the table. Half-mopped it up while saying it wasn't his fault.

The food eventually arrived - steak and eggs were satisfactory but the tomato flatbread was anemic at best. How do you cook dough through to the point where you need a steak knife to cut it and yet still have it taste of raw flour? The tomatoes on the flatbread were violently under seasoned, and there was no evidence of cheese whatsoever.

I had higher expectations. Lots of brunch-type chicks post photos of this place and I had pleasant experiences with the hotel in the past. Deeply disappointed. When we expressed less than glowing impressions of the food, our server had no interest in fixing this, and disappeared yet again.

2/5 because 1/5 would mean an actual flaming car crash.
