AMAZING food and location but service is super slow (though very friendly) and not always v organised, had to ask for things twice a few times. Not terrible but not good enough given how expensive it is.

Fantastic ambience, good food but very expensive for what it is. The view was great. We had a fun meal and enjoyed our dinner but it wasn’t anything extraordinary. Portions are small but tasty. Prices are too high and are not reflective of the food quality. Good one off, special occasion but I wouldn’t go again.

Decimo at The Standard Hotel London has a real wow factor and and is one of London's hidden gems. A great spot for a drink, amazing views of St Pancras from the front and of the city and St Pauls from the back, but the food is also superb. Not cheap, but that's not what you're here for. The atmosphere is very vibey and the staff efficient, fun and attentive. The crowd is mixed, from young trendsetters to gastronomes. The 2.5 hour time limit can feel a little rushed but there's always the bar to go back to. Make sure you go.

I love decimo, and try to take everyone that visits me there But last night the food was ok, just ok, nothing special for the price we paid, the monkfish was tiny, the potatoes were huge and not crispy, the cauliflower tortilla wasnt that delicious. The bread and red pepper sauce were good

This place has exceptional service, which is genuinely friendly and not stuffy. The music and layout is fantastic. It feels like you are having a very special night out but you’re able to hear and have a conversation. You pay for the wonderful atmosphere and for you so whilst it’s very expensive, I do think you get what you pay for and I would return I would say the menu is quite limited having been a second time to go again there isn’t enough variety but maybe they change it seasonable ?. However, what I did have was beautiful but probably too much between two people. It works better if there’s more of you. The pork is amazing and so is the beetroot. I prefer the normal concept of the potato bravas if I’m honest and I didn’t like the monkfish at all, it was dry and chewy but it was overall wonderful . You do need to anticipate on average £100 per person if you want a bottle of wine as it’s extremely expensive for the wine and champagne. Unfortunately, we don’t know Spanish wine that well so paid a lot of money for something unknown is a rest, but I highly recommend the Spanish champagne. It was lovely. It’s great for a special night out and you’re willing to spend that kind of money or you want something romantic, but just going to the bar for drinks is also worth while, as you have a great ambience.

Love Decimo. From the guys on the door to those welcoming you into the restaurant and the waiting staff are just excellent Atmosphere is very cool Food is delicious and exciting. Pork belly tacos, the bread oozing in oil and the potatoes with aoli the best. (Not the biggest fan of the pepper or some of the veg dishes but others recommend them). Cocktails and wine also great. View from the loos are incredible

Great ambience and vibe. Service was lovely - they forgot to bring a birthday candle out (I had requested this as it was my husband's birthday) but they promptly made up for it with complimentary glass of bubbly. Only slight disappointment was that the food didn't live up to expectations - the tacos, the pigeon and the lamb - everything was seasoned a bit too much. Still a great evening and will definitely return for drinks.

What a fantastic place. This was recommended by a friend as I was looking for somewhere for my sisters graduation. The restaurant is on the 10th floor so you have amazing views of London, interior looks very upmarket with great features. Staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgable, and were always nearby so we were not waiting to ask for more drinks etc. The food and cocktails were very very nice, and overall made a fantastic evening with the family. This is a fantastic place, hats off to the staff and chefs for an amazing evening!

Decimo, within the unique standard hotel, was an unforgettable. My wife and I love exploring new restaurants and Decimo was a gastronomic delight with a great ambiance. We loved the quirky decor and the food was of a very high standard and, dare I say, not far off a mention in the michelin guide! We highly recommend the Decimo Tortilla topped with caviar. Will definitely visit again!

This was my first visit to Decimo. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was great and the food superb. I was a little disappointed by the portion size of the Monkfish (£30 for a piece the size of your thumb) bit overall we had a great night and will definitely be going back. The views from the loos and bar are stunning.

We loved our meal at Decimo - the food, service and atmosphere were all great. We had lovely wine too and the staff were very knowledgable about both the food and drinks and gave us great recommendations. The only thing I would point out is that it does end up being quite expensive but it is all great quality so it is not a negative, just worth people being aware before going. It is definitely a treat meal!

From the front of house staff at street level to the staff onthe top floor of The Standard, service is friendly and first class. And the Spanish/Mexican cuisine is even more stellar. The bonus is the views over London and the super cool 70’s decor.

This was our second visit..we loved it! The food was brilliant: stand-out dishes were the pork belly tacos and the lamb rump, but it was all pretty good. The place is a masterpiece of design. Spacious and stylish with wonderful views over St Pancras and central London: bustling, happy vibe. Service was attentive and friendly. Yes, it's eye-wateringly expensive, but we knew that and it was a special occasion - the cooking is original and highly expert. Wine list is great - much improved since Decimo first opened.

Nice decor, great ambience.. interesting lift and restrooms!! For a restaurant attached to a hotel it was VERY un-hotel-like which is good news of course...you wouldn't actually know it was part of the Standard. Pricing overall I would describe as on the high side of moderate, but pork ribs (fab) great value at £24 while pigeon at £49 (?really?) and both fish main options not such good value. Decent wine list but quite aggressively priced...not much there under £50. Loved all the food I had and there is some proper cooking going on here and some great views from the 10th Floor.

You arrive and the place is very nice and the elevator scenic….. and then arrive the service that considering the price was very very poor. Portions really really small!!! Wine expensive but cheap quality. But the best experience was when we left. I am a 60 years old lady and it was raining very much, so when we went out we were waiting the taxi and I run inside again to cover escorted by my son and his girlfriend. You know what? the big man at the door just stopped us and he didn’t allow us to enter again!!! I paid 600 pound (5 guests) for eating and I am supposed to wait outside under the rain???? And the best was that when my son complained this big man started verbally fighting with my son!!! It never ever happened to me! This restaurant need to change his policy I never was treated with such lack of respect by a big rude uneducated employee that think to be the boss of London!!! I will never go there in my life again and for sure I will advise all my connections not to go! And that is what I suggest to you reader!!! Go elsewhere there are thousands of place in London where you’re treated with respect and kindness!!! I am sorry for the other guy who arrived later to help us that was kind and respectful but if the owner of the restaurant hire people like the other one he can shut down the place!
