Would give full marks but they do the service charge AND gratuity thing which annoys me. Food was so good that it left a greater impression than the incredible view. Maybe take a torch to read the menu in the very subdued lighting!

My wife and I went to the Oblix (west) on Tuesday 14th January 6 - 8pm. From entering the building to leaving, all the staff were excellent and friendly. We should particularly mention the waiter who served us who was outstanding. I am sorry that I did not get his name. The food was excellent. We had booked a window table which was well worth the small additional cost. The views were mesmerising. The only issue was that the 2 hours went so quickly, perhaps because we were enjoying the experience so much. Thank you all for making us so happy, it was absolutely perfect!!!

very romantic setting with a beautiful atmosphere. good food, right portions. the service is a little lacking. wine not always poured, and when it is poured it is shaken (not very good for a €150 champagne)

Afternoon tea delicious, location superb! Perfect birthday experience. Couple of negatives. Pot of tea arrived before sandwiches and cocktails. Beware: Service charge of 14% goes to company not staff. Tip for staff minimum 5% is extra.

My experience was the most horrible at the Oblix restaurant ever again. In this restaurant we reserved myself and my husband for New Years 2025 for December 31st. It was just horrible. horrible. Terrible service, we were promised that there would be a show with music Nothing at all, it didn't happen at the end of the dinner. I asked the manager if he was going to see music or a show, he went to find out. He never came back It's a tourist trap never ever in my life I will return to a place like this oblix for me, I delete it from my memory, advice never went to this restaurant. There we paid 1200€ and we never got what we wanted. he makes fun of the customer for them the customer, it's just the jackpot nothing else I never thought it would look like McDonald's to avoid

We had a good time at Oblix West and we were happy we went there. Views are just amazing. Service was superb, food was beautifully presented and the wine list absolutely impressive. Yet, some options were a bit salty and at the end after paying a big bill was utterly disgusted to visit the toilet that were worse than after a football match. With the prices and service charged management should ensure toilets are cleaned after 11pm.

Definitely will be back for more.

Despite the view being breathtaking the food and service were outstanding. We had a sharing style appetizers and main course and the food quality is worth the price. Among our favorites we have the beef tartare, tuna tartare and black code. We also ordered the wagyu beef and it was delicious the meat was soft and melted in your mouth. The environment is nice and the live music in the bar side is the perfect ambience to end your evening on a good note. The service was friendly and everyone was kind. The only disadvantage is the location but the food and view make the trip worth!

Thank goodness for the view! Arrived for a 3.45 afternoon tea booking. Disorganised. We were not able to be seated as our table wasn’t ready and were led to wait at the bar (as were the people in front of us for a booking at the same time), The table we were eventually sat at, had been empty since we walked in. We weren’t seated until 4.10 and then rushed through to make sure our food arrived before the kitchen closed. The food was good and the view is a showstopper. However there was a large group of people on a nearby table that were clearly quite drunk and were very loud. Spoiled the ambience. Note to staff, if you are enforcing time limits, enforce them - not just on the last afternoon sitting.

Great experience in Oblix in the Shard, we were celebrating my birthday and had a spectacular brunch experience with a great view over central London. The food and drinks and the dessert were delicious. The service was good, but it was a bit rushed since they were busy on a Saturday afternoon. You have to pay extra to get a table by the window with the view during reservation. Would love to go back there some day.

For someone who has experienced ultimate fine dining at many of Dubai’s 5* restaurants the Oblix would never receive 5* from any one who has traveled the world. The service staff are pleasant but lacked flair. The male servers could certainly do with some charm training and better grooming. The furnishing upholstery has seen better days. The food was good but deserving of only 4 out of 5 stars. A window seat charge of 20 pounds should have been waived considering the foggy weather which did not allow the vaunted views the Oblix boasts of and charged for. I was amused by the 14% “discretionary” service charge especially when the staff had the temerity to suggest we offer an additional “personal” gratuity as a “voluntary “ gesture of appreciation !

If you want a place to impress a person without caring about the price and also eat with quality Oblix is the best decision in London. It is important to guarantee the reservation at the window by paying a supplement but it is worth it. The service is EXCEPTIONAL. Generally nice places tend to have very low quality food but this is not the case with Oblix. The quality is very high although you pay here. Average price €200 per person.

Perfect date night!!! We went for Oblix West and booked in advance to secure a window table. Views were absolutely beautiful and made the experience even more special. Food was amazing! Highlights were our mains which were the dry aged sirloin and black cod. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned beautifully, and the black cod was buttery soft with a tangy tomato relish, and presentation was stunning! Our starter seared salmon and side potato gratin were also perfect. Staff were attentive and made sure everything was good. Special thanks to Man for his friendly hospitality. Definitely recommend!

The second time to public east and it was a disappointed. Started well with a good welcome , no queue at security and the reception was smooth . The service went down from the start or ordering cocktails, first round ok but then I think our serve went on break so our drinks sat there on the counter getting watered down and no one seemed to be able to help. When I raised the issue it was shrugged off but the price of cocktails I expect them to be served as they are made due to the nature. The entertainment was fab, so for that it’s worth it but wouldn’t bring friends here again

Update ;it’s been almost a year and I’m still waiting for someone to respond to my email!!! I visited the West oblix today with my husband to celebrate our wedding Anniversary. the atmosphere and service wasn’t good . The burger I ordered was seriously lacking in flavor, and I was so hungry that I had to eat half of it. What really upset me was that some of the staff seemed pretty rude. Things got even weirder when I went to the ladies' room. Two staff members actually asked me where I’m going !!one staff even made a comment why I’m carrying my bag and said ladies usually leave their bag and go to toilet.like seriously!!???( my husband was still at the table. )and we already asked for the bill. And it didn't end there – a staff member I had complained to earlier about the food (followed me within few minutes)into the restroom. I was shocked when he open the door!I still can’t understand it! what should have been a great day turned into a pretty bad experience.

We almost skipped Oblix for Thanksgiving dinner, thinking it might feel too contemporary for our hopes of a vintage London experience. But since it was Thanksgiving, we decided to give it a try — and we couldn't have been more delighted. From the moment we stepped onto the 32nd floor, the stunning views of London set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The atmosphere, with its west-facing vantage point, perfectly complemented the luxurious spread ahead. The meal began with a selection of shareable starters, each more impressive than the last. Every dish was an amazing blend of flavors, showing an impressive attention to detail. The caramelized pecan pie with bourbon ice cream was the grand finale, paired beautifully with the thoughtfully curated American-inspired wine selections. The wine pairings truly elevated the entire experience. The service was also impeccable. If you're looking for a destination for a special occasion — or simply want to treat yourself to an extraordinary meal with unbelievable views — Oblix at The Shard is an absolute must. We can't recommend it enough.

Average -Dirty plates were kept on carrying trays in the dining hall and next to our table for the entire dinner.

Complete waste of time. Why on earth would I pay these ridiculous prices if I can't even sit near a window. Can't go to the viewing platform. It was an absolute waste of time and money. Tables sit empty for ages and they refuse to reseat you. Don't bother coming here unless you are guaranteed a window seat because you can't see anything and pay a fortune for the privilege...I dont hold out much hope for the food being any good either. I was looking at bringing my employees here and booking the venue out but figured it was best to check it out first. certainly won't bother bringing them now. UPDATE: Further to your response, we did try the food and spent £178 for basically nothing. It was at best...average, the portion size was awful, we had to go to another restaurant afterwards because we were still hungry. We did book the table in advance, and the empty tables we saw there were still empty over an hour after we arrived.

If I could give the service a zero I would... Understand that if you are booking a table here the premium you are paying is for the view alone. The food typical of what you would find in a good gastro pub at an absolute michelin star price. Our waiter was strange, lurched around the table and did not offer us another drink for the whole meal. You would think that a name like The Shard would train there staff as the name would imply but, we got better service in a greasy spoon for breakfast that same day. Jack, I think it's time to brush up on your service skills, of course if we were even asked how our meal was, we would have given this feedback but, the impression is that once you pay they couldn't care less. Save your money and go up the observation deck.

We went out as 2 couples for a joint anniversary celebration Saturday night and thought we would go somewhere special with spectacular views. The views were fantastic on the west side. Our reservation was at 8-00pm we were there spot on to be told our table was not ready as yet, really not a problem and were taken over to a lovely spot at the bar. Around 30mins later, we’re taken to our table… WOW what incredible views right by the window. We went on to order more drinks and starters, which we’re delicious, mains we went for the wagyu tomahawk steak , black cod all were amazing and just melted in your mouth.I would highly recommend the steak. After finishing our meal we asked for the dessert menu to be told that we would not be able to have our dessert at our table and to be moved to the lounge. We asked why, to be told the next dinners have arrived and yet it wasn’t even 10pm. We had only been seated for 1-30mins … this is really unsatisfactory for a restaurant of this calibre. Considering we were kept waiting 30mins for our table in the first place. Put a real anti climax to a great night and no dessert. Dinner’s beware and management think about your loyal customers it’s not nice to feel rushed for no fault of ours.

Our meal: We were impressed by the great views over London. It's worth reserving a table by the window early. The menu is varied and offers something for everyone. We had, among other things, the lobster and steaks. Very good quality food, good service and check-in and very pleasant atmosphere. All of this also justifies the prices. I would love to eat at Oblix again. Other: Oblix at The Shard was founded in September 2012 on the 32nd floor of the Shard skyscraper in St. Thomas St., London, by restaurateur Rainer Becker. Located in Europe's tallest building, The Shard, Oblix offers urban dining with views of London. Oblix offers dishes from the open kitchen. Oblix at The Shard was designed by Claudio Silvestrin. Oblix offers customers a dual dining experience with a general dining room and a lounge serving cocktails, gourmet lunches and a la carte menus.

Last Wednesday was my wife’s birthday. Upon arrival, I asked if they had a table for two near the window, and I didn’t mind waiting, but they said no right away. Then they told me it would cost extra. I didn’t mind paying extra, but they said I should have reserved it in advance. I don’t understand why a table near the window cost extra, especially since it wasn’t mentioned on their website when I made the reservation. We felt very sad about it, though the food was amazing, no doubt.

The food was quite good, but unfortunately, the service let the experience down. The waiter seemed to have an attitude at the start, and the service was slower than expected. One of the starters arrived before our drinks, with the second starter coming about 10 minutes later. Additionally, our main courses were placed on a nearby table for around five minutes before being served to us. Despite requesting a water jug, we never received one. Given these service issues, the 14% service charge felt unjustified.

Das Oblix befindet sich im 32. Stock des Wolkenkratzers "The Shard". Die Aussicht über das nächtliche London ist beeindruckend. Auch hier lohnt es allerdings wieder, gegen Aufpreis, einen Tisch am Fenster zu reservieren. Ich vermute, dass man von den hinteren Plätzen kaum etwas von der Aussicht wahrnimmt. Die Gerichte waren allesamt sehr gut. Besonders das Tatar und das halbe Huhn. Der Koch versteht sein Handwerk. Was allerdings erwähnt werden muss: - Die Geräuschkulisse ist im gesamten Restaurant sehr hoch. - Der Service hätte etwas öfter kommen können. Bzw. sehen müssen, dass die Gläser leer sind. Trotz dessen hatten wir einen sehr netten Abend mit ausgesprochen gutem Essen. Was allerdings für die Bewertung mit lediglich 3 Punkten gesorgt hat, ist Folgendes. Während meiner Abwesenheit fragte der Kellner meine Begleitung, ob er ein zusätzliches Trinkgeld, neben der auf der Rechnung bereits inkludierten Servicepauschale (bereits 15%), haben könne!? Das halte ich für ein Restaurant auf dem Niveau leider für ein absolutes Unding.

They assigned a Brazilian waiter to serve us to make things easier in the language. He clearly gave the wrong information - we asked him twice if the price was for 2 people or 1. He clearly said it was for 1 person. When it came time to settle the bill, he wasn't in the restaurant and the waiter who only spoke English was extremely stupid, saying that we hadn't understood, that the price was for 2 people, and we had to bear the burden since the mistake was on the part of the Brazilian waiter. . We had a scare! I don't recommend it.

My friend and I came for drinks to Oblix, and everything was good. However, one thing was a bit strange. There were free tables with a view, but the host seated us near the entrance in dark corner, while another host seated people who also came for drinks by the window. Strange logic, and a small detail that made the experience of the place NOT very enjoyable.

Needless to say the view is stunning! The service is excellent. We would love to thank Man (sorry I spell your name wrong) for the amazing services for our dinner - attentive and caring. I am surprised he is quite new in this restaurant but keep up with the good work! We had a lovely time there!

It was a fantastic experience at Oblix in the Shard! The food was incredible, with every dish beautifully presented and full of flavour. The service was top-notch—special shoutout to Alvie and Man, who were both absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to make our visit memorable with their attentiveness and kindness. The atmosphere is unbeatable, with a stunning view of London that truly adds to the experience. Whether it's for a special occasion or just to treat yourself, I would highly recommend Oblix. I can't wait to return!

We went for afternoon tea... 2 days prior to our reservation, they called to change it from east side to west side. Our waiter was very attentive upon sitting down..but disappeared...we had to ask another waiter for more tea and another plate of sandwiches. Waiter returned partly through our tea to say it was last call as kitchen was closing ...we were a bit surprised by that at a restaurant of this level. And during last 30 minutes of our tea, staff begun arranging tables for dinner service, moving tables and making quite a bit of noise. Lastly, staff started to gather and have their supper break ...which I understand but in front of clients is not profesional in my opinion. Wasn't quite the afternoon tea experience I had expected for that price. Positive side was views were amazing!

Edit: Whilst I can’t change my review I have updated service slightly why? Oblix contacted me about my review and showed genuine concern that my experience was not as they would have wanted or expected. Based on my conversation I am sure that my experience is not reflective of the norm. As such I look forward to returning in the future. Original: Slightly harsh review here but let’s face it pay £100+ a head you got to provide an exceptional meal with service. Location Let’s face it does not get better! Amazing views and just a special location (in our case a special graduation meal) Meal Cocktails were really great and server was able to give help (they were not the normal run of the meal cocktails) - very tasty Starters were exceptional, interestingly all sharing platters but we had 3 between 5 people and it was enough, so good portion sizes. Mains - honestly I was a little disappointed I had steak and it was nice but not great, the sides were awesome, and everyone else in the party enjoyed (or said they did) so maybe just me! Portions were very generous Service Extremely disappointed, our server started out really well, seemed attentive and engaging. However he lost focus around the main course - failed to clear the table in a timely manner (started then kinda forgot). When he did clear it felt like it was only because one of our party was overheard saying - think he forgot us! At no time did he check on drinks offer to refresh or get more drinks etc. very absent. In the end it took so long to clear the table, get a desert menu and for him to come check what we wanted, we decided to not have desert. The plus was they recognised my daughter’s graduation, giving her a congrats ice cream, which was sweet. Over all I left the restaurant frustrated that I had paid so much, and received such poor service.

My sister and mum took me here for my 40th birthday lunch- what a let down by service! Food was amazing, but no one asked if we wanted drinks etc, after 40mins we had to get attention of someone, who said he couldnt help us🤣 then when we finally got attention- it took forever to get food and drinks! After all the delays, we wont be coming back and will not be recommending to family and friends

Service was good. Very attentive. Food came out quickly Highlight for me was the dessert. The truffle and parmesan fries were good as well. Nice view of london so try and negotiate a table on the sides.

Great food, views, and company. Couldn’t really ask for much for. The service was what would expect from an establishment of this calibre: stellar. The starter, main course, and dessert were all equally exquisite. Wonderful experience.

Food is great! The service and atmosphere are amazing too. I recommend the Smoked Black Cod, it was Michelin grade!

Insane view of London, this alone makes it a great place to have a special night with family, friends or couple. The food menu is varied, lots of options and all of the ones we ordered were super delicious. The bread and butter is all worth it. I also tried the spicy seafood pasta and was delicious. The desserts we tried was the sundae with little bits of brownie was exceptional.

My friend celebrated her birthday at Obilx, and we had a great time. The view was amazing, and the food was nicely presented. The staff were very calm and patient. We had a variety of meals, including the starter of seared beef carpaccio with mustard dressing, parmesan, and watercress, which I liked. The sour cream and horseradish burrata were also great. I enjoyed the starters more than the main meal, but overall, I loved the presentation of all the dishes. The Oblix dessert platter was beautiful and, being a dessert lover, it was my favorite part. It was a great experience, and I would definitely visit again.

The Oblix in London is a very beautiful and luxurious restaurant. We were there around 6 p.m. and had reserved a seat by the window. The place alone cost us £20. The view from the 32nd floor was breathtaking and we had a perfect view of the Tower Bridge while we ate. The time of year meant that at the beginning it was still light and we had a great view of London, and later it got dark and we could also see London from above at night. The staff were very attentive and polite. There was live music during the meal and the atmosphere was just right. For dinner we had the 3 course menu. It was tasty but unfortunately not quite perfect. There was about one vegetarian dish per course. There was nothing wrong with the cocktails. These not only looked very good but also tasted just as good. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay at the Oblix and can only recommend it.

No, I would not recommend. Food is highly overpriced for the quantity and quality. Lots of service staff, but service was poor; waited 20-minutes for them to clear our plates (after we asked). Views are blinded at sunset; which is why you are there. If you want a table by the window, that costs more. Supposed to be up-scale, but they allow under-dressed customers that degrade the experience.

We had the set menu dinner here. Every staff member was very friendly and attentive but a special shout out goes to Andrea (I believe that was his name). He was super attentive and friendly and even went the extra mile to bring out a birthday candle with our dessert. The crispy chicken was the amazing also.

UNBELIEVABLE. I recommend everyone to try the Oblix restaurant at least once. A unique experience accompanied by sublime food and impeccable service. My most sincere compliments go to all the kitchen staff and the waiters. Thanks to Francesco for suggesting the tasting menu and to the girl (blonde Hungarian) sorry but I don't remember the name for taking care of us and guiding us course after course. Thanks for everything and see you next time.

Great food and great views. While there are some things on the menu just for show (like smokey drinks, dry ice fog on oysters), the food is really good. Essentially it is worth going to the restaurant just for the food regardless of the amazing views of the location. Oysters were superb, drinks were showy but very inventive and delicious. Great place for steak but also lots of other options. For example a humble roast chicken was amazing. Great date place too. Wine selection is excellent and the suggestions and help from staff were actually insightful and useful. To be honest, we just went for the view expecting a regular meal and were surprised by the food itself.

Spectacular dinner above London, in this restaurant on the thirty-second floor. The service was fast and attentive to every detail. We were treated to some welcome dishes, the maître Andrea left nothing to chance and the sommelier was very thorough. Excellent wine and food, the view alone is worth a dinner there. Special thanks to manager Christos for making everything special.

I ordered a croissant at 8 am, but I didn't have breakfast I asked them to warm it up. I waited 7 minutes not only to be named Alex, but they didn't even warm my croissant

Manager and staff superb. We go here for drinks and usually sit by the window, the staff remember what drinks we have even though it is packed on a Sunday. The roasts look amazing and the puds. Nice to feel welcome when we just go for drinks. Everyone is well looked after and they ensure everyone leaves with a smile.

Friendly staff, a decent sized pub with plenty of standing and seating space. Gets busy with a post work crowd but not over full like the pubs nearer Southwark station. They don't serve food and the beer range is pretty standard but well served (excellent pint of Guinness!).
