Tower Bridge was Fabulous but The Shakedown not so fabulous

No I do not recommend this product.
Our visit to the Tower Bridge was great, very interesting and lovely to see from a different perspective. However, our experience of the meal at The Shakedown afterwards was very disappointing. We located the restaurant earlier in the day, and returned just before our table was booked at 6pm only to find it shut, with a message at the door saying to go to the 'Courtroom Bar'. I waved my paper voucher at the two staff members sitting in the restaurant and they pointed for us to go around the corner, which we did, but we could not locate any Courtroom Bar. We returned to the Restaurant and again made hand signals and waved our voucher to say that we had a voucher for a meal and could not locate any Courtroom Bar, when a lady member of staff again pointed to around the corner from where we were standing. Around the corner was a Hotel called The Dixon, so I went inside and said I was looking for the Courtroom Bar only to be told it was within the Hotel!! We were shown to our table, and given a menu. However, the menu was very basic, with three choices for starter, main or dessert, one was a salad, one fish and chips and the other a chicken dish - it certainly was not deluxe dining. However, the win was good (though nearly as expensive as the meal voucher!!) and the service from the staff within the Hotel was excellent. We did have a lovely day, but were very disappointed at the meal and would not return to The Shakedown for the set meal - whether or not the Courtroom Bar offers better food if you are not limited to The Shakedown's set menu may be a different matter. We were not aware that we would be limited to a set menu when the voucher was purchased alongside The Tower Bridge voucher.
