A busy friday evening but we were made to feel as if we were the only customers in the restaurant - great service and very nice atmosphere.

Bubba 14 May 2012 From London

Serving sumptuous Mediterranean cuisine, Smollensky’s Canary Wharf sits within the city’s most prolific commercial district. Both the outdoor terrace and glass-fronted dining room look out onto the magnificent architecture of Reuters Plaza.

Serving a refined selection of Mediterranean and international flavours, the Smollensky’s menu offers hearty steaks and burgers, as well as carefully crafted signature main courses. Lighter bites include pate of the day with spiced plum chutney, and flame-grilled lemon chicken skewers, whilst richer flavours include roast pork shank with rustic mash and mushroom jus.

Twinned with a lively bar, Smollensky’s London serves a stellar selection of drinks, including premium cocktails and fine wines. Family friendly Smollensky’s restaurant also serves a fun kids’ menu, and at weekends, kids eat for free.

Cosmopolitan yet relaxed, Smollensky’s Docklands showcases expansive windows and sleek furnishings for a trendy, clean-cut ambience. Canary Wharf Tube Station is 8 minutes’ walk away.

                                Spent Valentines evening at Smollenskys. Slow service to start - it took 10 minutes to get the attention of a waiter. But then they were very attentive. The food was good and the atmosphere was lively as the restaurant was very busy (normally, there are only 6 or 7 tables taken on a Saturday evening)

                                      We absolutely loved it. Our 6.30pm table was ready and in fact they were able to accommodate an extra person there and then-always handy on such a beautiful evening. We were seated out on the terrace-delightful. The menu cated for all palletes and we all felt it was very good value for money which included starters, main and one round of drinks, not all alcoholic. The service was great as the waiter was happy to answer questions about the menu and allowed us to order in our time. The food was nicely presented and arrived in good time. Any complaints........absolutely none.

                                                        Mid evening on a Friday night - great service, waiting staff attentive but not in your face. Food good. Atmosphere lively but we were there as a couple and that fitted too. Would go back happily if in the area.

                                                              Our waitress has no knowledge of wine. She said she does not like wine therefore can't recommend a good wine but did not bother to call someone who knows. Also, pls don't serve calamari ever. So rubbery.
