My girlfriend and I are planning to go for our 1st anniversary, the restaurant is beautifully located, but is it as good as it is rumoured to be?

No. I really don't like it and the last time I was there I got food poisoning. I think it's over-priced and the food is distinctly average. The only good thing about it is the views.
If you want somewhere special with good views try Rhodes 24 -

Or the Belvedere, which has the most fantastic location overlooking Holland Park:

Its good. If its nonetheless marvelous climate attempt to get a table on the terrace. The foodstuff isn't too overpriced. For a night of London perspectives i might propose getting some beverages at Vertigo 40 two and then getting a cab over to OXO for dinner.

Yes, it's lovely. You should have a great time on your 1st anniversary, enjoy the fantastic views! I went a few years ago for my birthday and my husband was surprising me with a theatre show afterwards, unfortunately the staff ask you if you are seeing a show before seating you so they know whether to get you served straight away or let you have a relaxing meal and it ruined the surprise as I was standing right next to him when they asked. So if you have a surprised planned be a little careful they don't spoil it for you, otherwise enjoy the food and the views and have a great time.

Went a couple of years ago with work. The Views are amazing and the food is pretty good too. Not cheap but the whole package works well. Hope you have a great time.

I visited there a few months ago and the food was fantastic... Good impressive wine list and great river views over London and on the whole an enjoyable experience.

Yes, beautiful views over London. Probably to take your mind off the small portions you are paying an extortionate price for. Take your girl somewhere you already know and like and use the left over money for an extra special present.

great location, fantastic view, very romantic setting
- but one guide of restaurants reckons it is "severely overpriced" & disappointing food, with poor service & standards
i think if you go for the view & don't expect too much from the food etc., you will be fine and will enjoy it - and hopefully the food will be fine too (as it may depend on the night), so you will have a great time
and congratulations!

location amazing, ambience good as it's pretty lively, but food average and pricey. maybe go for a drink to admire the view and eat somewhere else.
