Having finished quite a long day at work I found myself enjoying the company of colleagues at Las Iguanas, opposite the Royal Festival Hall in Southbank London. I arrived a little after my colleagues around 6.30pm and there were already people queueing at the door to get in. Thankfully I was able to swish past the waiting list because we had booked a little area of our own inside the restaurant for a couple of pre-dinner drinks. The place is split across several levels under Waterloo bridge and has a very lively atmosphere. The staff were certainly kept busy and despite the hectic demands placed on them by thirsty customers, they managed to maintain their smiles throughout. One particular waiter caught my eye (being a people watcher) and he seemed genuinely proud of his biceps given he could not have rolled his sleeves up any higher. I wasn’t complaining though 
We moved to our table at around 8.15pm and placed our orders. By this point I was not able to remember what everyone had so will review to my own choice of Half Roast Chicken with Fries - Latin Style. It was pleasant enough given I hadn’t eaten all day, but the curly fries were a bit of a surprise and disappointment however this didn’t detract from the fun I was having. The party atmosphere continued and I could see that by now the restaurant was full with others diners all genuinely enjoying themselves.
In summary, a great place to spend a few hours with colleagues after work, unwinding, eating and having a little drink or two.
