Description: The delightful ASK restaurant found in the Spice Quay area of London's Southbank is the perfect spot for some Italian dining by the river. Housed in the trendy Butler's Wharf development, this riverside branch of the ever popular ASK restaurant franchise is based in a stunning converted warehouse and mixes urban industrial with contemporary chic to perfection. The quayside al fresco seating is a big hit in the summertime and the views are simply stunning. Tuck into delicious Italian dishes such as the Capra Grill (ciabatta with melted goat's cheese, beef tomatoes and caramelised onions) or the seafood risotto with clams, mussels, prawns, squid and a tomato, spring onion, garlic and white wine sauce.

“Nothing special”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2012

I went to ASK a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately found the service lacking. Our waiter was un-atentive and the food was OK. It wasn't anything special. It does have a great view though. More

“Arrived hungry and left hungry...we will not return!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2012

As the weather was cold, we chose to sit inside the restaurant which was a shame as the tables and chairs outside were so stylish with such a wonderful view of London Bridge. On entering ASK we thought we had strayed into a pre-school nursery with brightly coloured formica tables and chairs with childrens' paintings on the wall. We were... More

“Outstanding service & excellent food/location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

We had been to this ASK a few years ago but had thought it average however we visited again today & had an entirely different experience. The most outstanding feature has to be the service from all the staff. They were friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Our 10 year old son was even introduced to the chef... More

“Excellent food, service one of the best views of the river.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

We travel 70 miles to eat here with friends and family on a bi-monthly basis. The food and service have always been excellent and the waiting staff always friendly. You have to take pot luck to sit outside with it's views of the Thames and Tower Bridge, but you can always pre-book a table inside. This is a part of... More

We stayed at Novotel Tower Bridge hotel in London. One night we were too tired to go downtown for a dinner. We asked our hotel staff, and they recommended several restaurants just across the river from the Tower of London, in Butler's Wharf. We didn't go to the recommended restaurants because we were dressed a lot more casual than people... More
