Iâ¬"ve been to this restaurant three times now â¬ the first time with clients and the next two times with friends and family, which is quite a compliment! Iâ¬"ve never been one for TV chefs and Gary Rhodes himself was not in residence in the kitchen but this is one of the few expensive restaurants Iâ¬"ve been to where I felt the food and experience was worth the cash.

The restaurant is on the 24th floor of Tower 42 (the old Natwest Tower) in the City, and I recommend you arrive a few minutes early so you can take some time admiring the panoramic view of London from the windows.

Food was excellent â¬ in small portions but so rich I was full before dessert! We paid for three courses but got five including complimentary soup before our starter and plate of petits-fours presented with the coffee. I recommend the 'dessert plate' which includes three beautifully reimagined versions of traditional school-dinners puddings... I dreamed about the jam roly-poly afterwards!

Service was friendly and attentive without being obtrusive, and we didnâ¬"t feel rushed. I thought the price was reasonable for the high quality of the food â¬ as always alcohol can knock the bill up a bit but there are cheaper options on the wine list.Iâ¬"ve been to this restaurant three times now â¬ the first time with clients and the next two times with friends and family, which is quite a compliment!

Agenda is a nice place to either have lunch or to drink in the evenings. Add to it the fact that they have a DJ and a late license, the place is quite popular on thursday/ fridays

Located off Fenchurch Street, Agenda is a in the courtyard of Minster Court. The location makes it ideal for the city workers.

Seating: There's plenty of seating area. For lunch on friday's it is recommended to book in advance if you are a large group, as it gets quite full around 1 pm. For late night party crowd, there is a DJ and a small dancefloor. The only negative is the lack of smoking space. As the pub is within a covered courtyard, you have to go out to the main area to smoke.

Drinks: A good selection of wine is on offer. For beer drinkers, they have the usual brands in draught or in bottles. They do cocktails as well and if you like Pimms during the summer month, its worth a try.

Food: The food is where agenda scores well. Lunch menu is very nice and suitably priced. Fish & Chips is offered in traditional form with a newspaper wrapping.

Overall, I would recommend Agenda for lunches (due to the quality and the price) or for people who like to drink past midnight :)
