Brief business description

The Hispaniola Bar and Restaurant, a ship permanently moored on the Embankment, offers good quality modern European cuisine with a Mediterranean twist in the restaurant and tapas at the bar.

The Hispaniola�s upper deck is the perfect place to enjoy the fantastic views of the Thames, from St Paul�s to the Houses of Parliament on a summer�s evening, whilst sampling the great cuisine on offer. The ship is also a great venue for a spot of lunch, afternoon tea or for romantic dinners. Its central location means it is ideal for meeting friends for a drink and a bite to eat after a spot of shopping and for pre-theatre meals. Diners in the restaurant can choose from the extensive a-la-carte menu or opt for one of the set menus on offer.
Every Sunday, the restaurant serves a special three course lunch for just £18.50.

Dirty food & dodgy scam (tourist trap)

I found a little black line that looks like an eyelash / insect leg on the calamaries at R.S. Hispaniola today at lunch time. I reported it to the barman, he called a chef - they both saw it and the chef excused that it's a piece of cotton from his blue apron. He asked the barman to give me a discount, but the food had already been fully paid for in 'bar-style'. Second later, the chef left and the barman acted like nothing had happened. I demanded a refund for at least that dirty plate of food. The barman asked me to wait and took the "evidence" downstair. After at least 2-3 mins, another chef, a waiter and the barman came back with my plate of food - apparently, they had used all those time to REMOVE that eyelash/insect leg like object and shamelessly asked me what's wrong with the food as they couldn't see anything! I was speechless - how dishonest and disgraceful! Being a tiny girl on my own literally cornered by three big guys who are clearly dodgy; and there is hardly any other customer on the upper deck of R.S. Hispaniola at Victoria Embankment - I prioritised my safety and just left the restaurant. Since I was misled by a 7.5 rating on a popular london restaurant review website, I felt obligated to tell the world about this 'tourist trap' - R.S. Hispaniola that serves dirty food and plays dodgy trick. What a shame on them - a gorgeous spot of a restaurant ship on the Thames in London is spoiled by a bunch of dodgy people that serves dirty food and unbelievably horrible customer service.
