Come for the view and the atmosphere: a combination of a club (17th floor) and stylish restaurant. Mid-priced to expensive.

Reviews:
Catherine Hickley writes in Bloomberg.com: "

The clientele at the restaurant is noticeably older than the crowd upstairs. Most tables have a window view, though it's worth asking for one when booking to be absolutely sure. The food is competent -- less spectacular than that view.

Tuna carpaccio squares rolled in black and white sesame seeds were bland, though they were accompanied by delicious curried lentils that perked up the dish. A huge portion of beef tartare with quail egg was dauntingly rich, yet the blinis, cream cheese and caviar that went with it were a smooth, delicate delight.

The main courses are fish and meat standards. A salmon filet with mushrooms was wrapped in a fine, crispy pastry that helped concentrate the flavors and keep it succulent. A perfectly cooked lamb filet was rolled in mint leaves -- surprising to me, as Germans generally find it hilariously bizarre and typically eccentric that the British eat mint sauce with lamb. (They don't know what they are missing.)

[...]

On a previous visit, a main course of Iberico pork with chicory, rocket and a scallop disappointed because the meat was overcooked and dry. At 22 euros ($33), that shouldn't be the case. The desserts, though, are always a hit: this time we had an amaretto pavlova and a variety platter, all served with plenty of fresh fruit and lots of flavor."
