Tate modern restaurant

Website: http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/eatanddrink/restaurant.htm

Last Saturday ABJ and I ate lunch at the restaurant at the top of the Tate modern.

I'd heard that there were wonderful views from the top and I'd even heard rumours that there was a restaurant at the very top of the Tate modern tower. In reality the restaurant is on Level 7 of the art gallery. This was high enough to get good views as well as make it a lengthy procedure to get there in the lifts:We arrived and asked for a table for two near a window. This we promptly received although not on the river-side but on the opposite side with views over the modern architecture at the rear of the gallery. Unforunately the bright summer sun was reflecting off a glass roof outside and blinded anyone sitting at our table. We tried moving but the problem followed us as the sun moved in the sky. At last the waitress lowered the blinds to save our eyes...The food we ordered was very tasty and we were enjoying it so much we ordered dessert.Summary: Good views, tasty food.
