Skylon in Lambeth

We enjoyed a lovely late afternoon visit. Great views of the Thames and the London Skyline. Very clean and great service. We loved the fish and chips. The linguine was delicious, too. The deserts were surprisingly delicious.

Was put off the food by sub-par reviews and the fact the restaurant smells like a canteen. However wanted the view of father Thames, so opted for drinks. An extremely average mescal margarita and Prosecco cost £36. For that eye watering price point, you get no bar nibbles or service. Nobody came to table after the order and a member of staff I spoke to couldn’t have seemed less bothered. Very poor.

Called in here on VE bank holiday Monday to have a drink and enjoy the flypast for VE Day, and it was great! Obviously a pretty high end place, the staff were extremely polite and professional and it was a lovely setting on the South Bank, with great views over the river. I had an Old Fashioned and it was excellent. Didn't eat (beyond the almonds in the pic!) but will be back to do that next time!

Ok but not special. Underwhelming for such a great location, can't fault the staff good service. Not quite 5 stars but no complaints. Food wasn't special, we were on canapes so can't judge main means but really quite boring, not bad but really just fuel nothing more. Venue was disappointing if you had a window seat expect it's lovely otherwise like being in a big conference hall

Great place to eat, excellent food and service. Book in advance as it is a popular venue but will accommodate walk-ins if they can. Would highly recommend a visit

I had a lovely lunch!! Staff ,food and ambience was excellent !!!!

Definitely bottomless! Great food, views and service.

Excellent food, service and views of the Thames. A very enjoyable experience

The atmosphere and food was really nice. For a vegetarian we had the beetroot salad and masala curry which was well seasoned. The orange posset was a light finish to the meal

Have been multiple times here for business lunch or dinners. Great location, fantastic views, good modern menu and has been through some recent refurbishment as well. Only one gripe would be that on last occasion, found the staff ‘too’ attentive - far too many interruptions that could have certainly been avoided or reduced. Guess it’s hard to land a balance between trying to deliver a great service and perhaps over doing it in the process. Won’t put me off visiting again though.

Attentive staff. Lovely food and great atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Drinks on a Saturday afternoon - nice views and a subtle but warm atmosphere. Drinks are pricey but expected at this venue. Service at the bar was great, and this espresso martini was one of the best I’ve tasted. Recommend a side of the truffle fries!

Visité el restaurante Skylon el sábado 5 de abril con una amiga que había estado aquí muchas veces antes y toda la experiencia sin duda estuvo a la altura de su recomendación. Recibimos un cálido saludo en la recepción y mencionamos que habíamos solicitado una mesa de ventana, estábamos muy contentos de que había una disponible, ya que las vistas del Támesis y el horizonte de Londres son muy impresionantes. Nuestra camarera Mary llegó rápidamente con sonrisas amables y era servicial y conocedor del menú y la carta de vinos. Elegimos el filete y las patatas fritas del menú del brunch con verduras extra y una copa de vino cada uno. Disfrutamos de las vistas mientras esperaba nuestra comida que no tardó en llegar. Nuestros filetes fueron cocinados perfectamente, servidos con salsa de pimienta en grano, patatas fritas crujientes y un plato de verduras verdes mixtas para compartir. No teníamos espacio para postres, así que solo pedí cafés y Mary nos trajo un plato de deliciosos petit fours, que fue una sorpresa encantadora. Mi amiga tuvo un desafortunado accidente que dejó una marca en su jersey blanco y Mary rápidamente trajo una servilleta limpia que fue muy apreciada. Cuando estábamos terminando nuestros cafés, el gerente Antonio vino a comprobar que habíamos disfrutado de nuestra comida y pudimos aprovechar la oportunidad para decirle lo impresionados que estábamos con la decoración encantadora y el ambiente, excelente comida y un servicio encantador. Disfruté mucho de toda la experiencia y al igual que mi amigo, esperamos nuestra próxima visita, espero que muy pronto!

I visited the Skylon restaurant on Sat 5 April with a friend who had been here many times before and the whole experience certainly lived up to her recommendation. We received a warm greeting at the reception desk and mentioned that we had requested a window table, we were very pleased there was one available as the views of the Thames and London skyline are very impressive. Our waitress Mary arrived quickly with friendly smiles and was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. We chose the steak and fries from the brunch menu with extra vegetables and a glass of wine each. We enjoyed the views whilst waiting for our food which did not take long to arrive. Our steaks were cooked perfectly, served with peppercorn sauce, crispy fries and a dish of mixed green vegetables to share. We did not have room for desserts so just ordered coffees and Mary brought us a plate of delicious petit fours which was a lovely surprise. My friend had an unfortunate accident which left a mark on her white jumper and Mary quickly brought a clean napkin which was much appreciated. As we were finishing our coffees the manager Antonio came over to check that we had enjoyed our meal and we were able to take the opportunity to tell him how impressed we were with the lovely decor and ambience, excellent food and delightful service. I enjoyed the whole experience very much indeed and like my friend, will look forward to our next visit, hopefully very soon!

Como siempre, una comida muy agradable y un servicio bastante fabuloso. Teníamos la pasta en salsa de naranja y chile. Suena un poco extraño pero resultó ser absolutamente delicioso. Además, Olga y Mary hicieron COMPLETAMENTE nuestra noche. Eran muy atentos y ambos tenían el más fabuloso sentido del humor. Dos profesionales del servicio que saben absolutamente cómo proporcionar un servicio amable y discreto con calidez y buen humor. Nos divertimos mucho ‘’susurrando’’ mis órdenes - ¡Mary sabrá lo que eso significa! 😂😂Gracias a los dos por una excelente velada en su compañía. Nicholas y compañero. X

We had a lovely evening, the food was delicious, there was a great view from the window overlooking the Thames. The service was exceptional with special thanks to the two members of the waiting staff, Mary and Antonio. We had a great time in the heart of London.

Amazing location, amazing food, amazing staff - Mary and Antonio were fabulous!

Tried to book a table just for drinks but this was unavailable so we decided to eat as well. Quite surprised then to see it so empty on a Friday night in the sunshine. Staff were nice and service was good but there was zero ambiance or atmosphere. My food was ok, crab and cockle linguini but prob 3 cockles and tiny bits of crab. The position of the restaurant is lovely but I’m not sure I’d rush back

We come for bottomless brunch, for a special occasion and we had an amazing time. With great service and Mary made sure our glass was never empty and she was amazing. We can’t wait to come back!

My mum took me here for a birthday lunch, we had such a lovely time. We had the set menu for lunch and everything was delicious with a fantastic view of the river. Mary was our server and the service was fantastic, I got a lovely chocolate pud as a birthday treat and the manager Anson came over to specially wish me a happy birthday! I am also on crutches at the moment and everyone was incredibly helpful with this. All round a great trip and would recommend!

Exceptional evening with the most beautiful view, great food and wine, attentively executed service by Mary, Chetan and Ansen, highly recommend Skylon, can’t wait to get back excellence.

Team lunch, an opportunity to catch up over a lovely lunch. Great location with view over the Thames, friendly service and great food.

Waited 45 mins for our first course to come out, food came out at a relatively normal pace afterwards. Food was a bit mediocre - not the worst but not outstanding. Food was also not hot when it came out. Asked for the bill at the end and also waited about 20 mins for someone to follow up with a cash machine to pay. Very slow service, quality of food didn’t feel like it was worth £25 per person for a booking confirmation as well

Group of 4 for Saturday brunch . Great menu & lovely attentive service . Fab that you can be flexible with menu & bottomless option meaning 3 of us had Prosecco & 1 didn’t . Lovely big delicious fish cake was the main … others had steak . We had a birthday guest & she was given a lovely cake . Beautiful venue . And it was sunny 🌞! So the views were amazing . There was music . Missed the Saxy player though bring her back ! Lovely staff . Def re booking again !!!

We enjoyed a lovely pre concert dinner at the Skylon restaurant. Luckily, we had a window table and loved the views of the Thames and London as the sun set. The team helped us have a tasty and comfortable experience. One team member really stood out. Mary was attentive, polite and an all round nice human being. She really did look after us and elevated a good experience to a great experience. Thank you team!

Back after a few years from Austria, good to see the place is much cooler, the new bar has super nice cocktails. A very special thanx to our fabulous girl Mary who looked after us and made us smile. What a charmer!!! We love you girl and Croatia! The only improvement I would suggest is a better aircon control as at some point it was a bit too cold. Also thank you to manager Antonio a true gentleman.

Really lovely food, and the STP was sublime. Marie was lovely, thanks Mary!

I have been to Skylon on several occasions before concerts. However, we left on Sunday as there was no fixed price menu. A portion of Sheherds Pie and veg comes to £29.50 plus 13% service. This is an outrageous rip off. So although I like Skylon and the food is good and the views nice (assuming you’re by the window!) do not eat a la carte as it is a rip off. Also owing to the terrible accoustics, if any of your party is hard of hearing they will find the background noise too much. They need acoustic tiles to absorb the sound. So yes, mixed really . By the window with fixed price menu, it’s a yes.

Loved our roast at Skylon - super relaxing atmosphere and lovely service - Special shout out to Antonio and Mary who took care of us during our meal

Relaxing ambience…wonderful view of the river… ;)

Loved Skylon restaurant. Lovely views over the Thames. Excellent food and excellent service. Thanks to all the staff especially Mary and Olga for making our anniversary extra special.

Thanks to Mary for great service!

Mary was the best! Had an amazing time!

Great view, good food, decent prices and excellent service from Mary/Maria and others!

Skylon was the perfect rendezvous spot for dining with an old friend based to the east of London, with me travelling in from the SW. I had not been for some years. The standout experience for me was the service: special mention for Mary, who made me feel so welcome from the moment I sat down to the moment we left. I knew she was always there to help and she was had a wonderful energy. We were also helped by by Anson and Antonio. The time flew by! A wonderful evening.

Great food and service, Also are waitress Mary was amazing!

We came for dinner before going to see Brad Kella. Amazingly, he was sat at the next table! Our waitress Mary was great and we had an excellent evening.

Absolutely gorgeous experience. The view was beautiful. This is my first time here and I would definitely come back the next time I’m in London. The service was friendly and in particular the server “Merima” was chatty and so helpful. I would recommend this restaurant and it is so refreshing to receive excellent service.

We visited Skylon from Colorado USA on a recent London trip. Wonderful restaurant with great food, cool water front view of the Thames and amazing staff. Merima & Renata were so nice and wonderful to help us. We will be back….

Visited as a group. Very good service and ambience, restaurant not too noisy but it was difficult to hear beyond the person sitting immediately next to me. Food was unremarkable, would not return.

A last minute meal out and decided on Skylon as hadn't been for quite a number of years. The dining room is large and very comfortable with a nice feature bar. Tables along the river side are in high demand and for good reason. They provide a wonderful view out to the river and north side. The staff were all excellent and a pleasure to deal with. The cocktails were great and the food was pretty good too. It's a little on the pricier side but that's worth it if you have a good table with a view and can enjoy it while you relax and chat!

Great experience, breathtaking view of the Thames, careful service, good food.

This place used to be great. Visiting last night after some time away was a disappointment. Great space/view/lighting - but awful sound system; mediocre food and weak cocktails I am sad to say. Not the staff's fault but what the heck happened here?

Came to skylon for bottomless brunch. Food was amazing, and our Prosecco was continuously topped up. We had a great afternoon, and our Croatian waitress (didn’t get her name) was fun and attentive.

Good food and great service from Chetan 👌

Skylon is back again … !! I visited Skylon for lunch recently and what a makeover … stunning ambience, great vibe and not to miss a brand new menu to choose from. A big shout out for the Triple cheese soufflé … it was sublime. Every dish that came to the table had a surprise element. It not only looked pretty but it was packed with flavours that leaves you wanting for more. The cocktails were great too . A special mention about the waiter who was so attentive that it was a pleasure to be served by her . It is worth the visit to enjoy a scrumptious meal and watch the stunning sunset by the river on South Banks !

Steak tartare was the best menu that we tried here. Ingredients didn’t taste very fresh and the crab/cockles linguine was unfortunately overcooked, oily and garlicky. Quiet on a Thursday lunchtime, and they sat us by the windows which gave us a really lovely view of course!

Booked three weeks in advance, confirmed a week beforehand and then 5 days before they cancelled our reservation because they had a private party! Who books a private party less than a week beforehand.

Had a fantastic dining experience at Skylon! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and paired perfectly with an excellent selection of wines. A special shout-out to Britanny, our waitress, who went above and beyond to make our evening extra special—her warm and attentive service truly made a difference. Will definitely be returning soon! Highly recommend.

food not worth the price (tough meat, low quality ingredients) and untrained service staff which is not suited to this price point. The view of the Thames is great however.

Wine came after I’ve finished the starter. Had to ask where the drink was

Generally excellent service, bar wines for main course arriving mid course and with the wrong order. Our waitress was very helpful in ensuring food came quickly given we were going to a concert after. The food was only ‘ok’, though nicely presented. Mutton curry was pleasant but bland without a hint of spice despite the (h) in the menu, which we took to mean hot. Rhubarb trifle was unusually textured with very firm (crunchy) rhubarb and had precisely zero taste of rhubarb. It’s a nice airy space with great views though the live music made talking difficult.

Awesome fun evening Freat service and special shout out to our waitress (Merima?)

Loved Skylon! They've had a refurb since I last came, it's so stylish. Stand out was the Crab Linguine, the Paloma and Bar Manager Ari.

Beautiful views. Modern and delicious menu and what really makes it are the staff Truly professional and make you feel very special

Amazing views over the Thames. Great food and great service, very friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend if you are visiting london. close to london eye and they also have a bar.

Awful service, waiting staff not trained… didn’t know what flavour the soup was, one asked us for a calculator to split out bill. had to tell one waiter to please shush as he kept going on and on (his mistake for not speaking to manager) we had a choice for our mains of fish, fish and pasta, they didn’t have chicken but had chicken Ceasar salad on menu. But replaced the chicken option with Salmon ? No atmosphere, handful of customers in restaurant. Nice view of the Thames. Only one waitress was really good (black girl with glasses and blond plaits). Food average, hard brioche bun on burger the bottom was hard. We order from the set menu, had to change choices because of no chicken, because of order mess up the manager who didn’t speak to us at the table said we could order from al a carte menu through the waiter. After our friend complained. Croutons on Ceasar salad stale and hard just dry old bread. This was a birthday celebration, will not be going again Food was not A La Carte… Maybe if the waiting staff didn’t stand around chatting in clumps and learn the menu and what’s available, bad management. Not discreet when discussing tables and customers they stare at you while talking about you.

I had the pleasure of attending a private party at Skylone, given by The Old Vic Theatre last night, I had never been to Skylone, and to be honest, I'd never heard of the venue before, I was so excited to discover what a beautiful place it is, the views onto the river Thames are spectacular, but what really impressed me more, besides the constant flow, of a delicious variety of canapés, and impressive cocktails which were on offer, was the impeccable service given by the serving staff, especially from a Skylone staff member called Merima, who was incredibly kind and attentive, she has a great personality, and set the tone for us to have a special evening, she went above and beyond to make sure we were well looked after. Thank you Merima & all the staff at Skylone for a delight night out!! x

We were here for a Diamond Wedding pre concert lunch. The view was amazing but considering the restaurant has just reopened following re furbishment, we were surprised the tables were packed so close together as to make difficulties for the waiting / serving staff. the attention was slow in the extreme from the moment we arrived = slow to bring the menu, slow to take the orders and even slower to actually bring the food - 40 minutes wait between starters and main course and two hours altogether which did not allow time for a dessert. The food was delicious but the staff need to up their game, from the manager, who seemed disinterested and out of his depth downwards. We were no offered bread or nibbles and not once were we asked if everything was okay. The food and view saved this review!!

Is a really nice space now renovated more modern without the white tablecloths…. River views are lovely Service was good but could have been a little more attentive- checkin early to order nibbles whilst waiting for whole group etc.. bring desserts menu without being asked, bring more than 1 drinks menu for group of 10 etc.. Food was all very good just a bit small portions… Desserts were average Music is no longer live saxophone on Sat brunch .. All in all I liked it but would probably pick somewhere else for a bottomless brunch celebration next time.. everyone generally had a good time though which was great and our server was very friendly.

We had booked for Bottomless Brunch wish on arrival got told they had changed the menu. Wish they had not notified us. We asked to speak to the manager he was so rude basically told us this is the menu now take or leave it. which was double the price where he spoke to us so badly we ended up leaving. Would never recommend to go here.

We had a wonderful waiter, Luca, who made a lovely experience into a great one

This place always reminds me of the middle 2000s when everyone seemed to go. It does feel a tad dated. The service and the food was perfect though. Great as a preshow spot for a meal or lunch if you're site seeing on the Southbank side

Food is tasty service is nice Bit expensive 🤣

lovely staff and management were able to assist with our problems and keep our time positive

Found the service slow and were seated for 30 minutes before order for drinks or food taken. Also several times had to remind of forgotton items. Although had allowed 2.30hr for food before performance, in the end, we had to rush to our seats. Although the view was good, I feel this was not a good visit although we have been before many times and enjoyed it.

This once grand restaurant has lost a lot of its sparkle. The food is average to poor. The presentation is fair, but the quality of cooking needs a lot of improvement to bring the standards back up.

On my recent visit , to celebrate a friends birthday it was low-key and ideal. The service was perfect not too intrusive, the food was great from the main menu to a set menu section with choices for every palate . The even surprised with a small birthday dessert for the birthday girl a very nice touch :) The chicken from the set menu was perfect, and the salmon tefreshing . Places by the window we were able to view the activity along the southbank Worth a visit ... Will be back

Absolutely appalling experience with Skylon. They profit off medical emergencies without an ounce of compassion. I tried contacting them several times via phone and email regarding a cancellation due to my fiancée undergoing emergency surgery, which forced us to cancel our entire London trip. When I called the restaurant, they promised someone would get back to me, but instead, I received a short, cold reply stating, “We can’t do anything, can’t return the money, we have a policy where you have to cancel one week in advance.” How on earth were we supposed to know my fiancée would end up hospitalized in a serious condition? They ignored our situation entirely. To make matters worse, they probably sold our spots immediately to profit even more. Disgusting and heartless behavior. I would never step foot in this place again, and I strongly urge others to reconsider supporting a business that treats people like thIs.

The food was forgettable at best, and the service was absolutely terrible. We came here for a date night and specifically requested a river-view table. However, we were told those tables were only for larger groups, even though we saw many couples seated at them. They promised us we’d be moved when one became available, but despite several tables freeing up, we were never moved. The service was incredibly slow. One waitress seemed to be handling too many tables, which led to delays in getting our drinks. When the wine we ordered finally arrived, it was kept behind the bar, and they were awful at keeping our glasses topped up. The location is great, and I can see how having a good table with a river view could make a difference, but if you’re not lucky enough to get one, I would suggest saving your money. It’s a second-rate restaurant. Maybe good for one drink.

Had a pre Xmas bottomless lunch with friends. Food was great & great view over the River Thames. Recommend a visit.

Lovely place with brilliant views. The food was nice but overpriced for what you get and the quality, I would have expected better presentation of main dishes. Dessert was great, wine was lovely. Service was also good although the waiter forgot to come back to us when I asked for water. I'd say the atmosphere was a little stressful as it was extremely loud and noisy, there were 2 work parties along with regular guests which made it really hard to hold a conversation on our table. Maybe some sound proofing is needed in the room!

Service was good. A little slow with drink orders arriving. It's expensive but nice. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Food portions are quite small. I was disappointed the mushroom dish was described as a main but that could just be fine dining portion sizes. The food was very good but left me pretty hungry. A good visit.

The restaurant seems to be on the decline. The staff was friendly, but the whole place looked old and not in a good way. It also does not have a toilet and you have to exit the restaurant and use the communal one outside. The worst part unfortunately was the food that was way bellow average, but quite pricey.

Our Christmas dinner with colleagues at this restaurant was, unfortunately, a disappointing experience. With around 40 people in our group, we had high expectations, but it quickly became clear that the evening wasn’t going as planned. First, the main course food was served cold, some items missing which immediately set a negative tone. It was clear that the meals had not been properly reheated or prepared to the standard we were hoping for. To make matters worse, the menu we were originally promised had been changed, and we were given limited options that didn’t reflect what we’d been led to expect when first enquiring about this venue. On top of that, the meal didn’t justify the price at all. Given the lack of variety and quality, the cost felt far too high for what was offered. Many of us left the dinner feeling hungry and dissatisfied, which is a real letdown for this year Christmas office dinner. A few colleagues had eaten at this establishment in the past and stating that they had a very enjoyable meal every thing was perfect, hence why we chose this place for our firm’s Christmas dinner. All in all, the food quality, lack of choice, and overpricing left us all feeling disappointed. It’s unfortunate because we had hoped for a good festive, enjoyable meal, but instead, it was an experience we’d rather forget.

I booked skylon one month in advance for my son's birthday dinner, picked it for the view. We arrived 15 minutes early, restaurant was 2/3 empty. I asked if we could have a window seat as there was plenty, but the lady at the reception refused and said it's only 4 seat tables available there. And sat us further away in the restaurant. Even though there was seating closer to the view.. 20 minutes later middle aged couples were seated by the window tables, not filling all four seats obviously..the soup was not appetising at all and the risotto was so undercooked that it was crunchy... I was joking my 17 years old son could have cooked it better... Waited for our bill for half hour...The only good thing about the place is the view, which you don't get to enjoy if you're not middle aged , and a waitress who served us was very lovely too... Do not recommend sadly, very disappointing visit...

I always wanted to have some food at Skylon at the Royal Festival Hall, just located in one of the prime locations in London. Food was incredibly amazing and cooked to perfection. The staff is very friendly, warm and welcoming and treated us with such good care that made us feel special. I definitely recommend this restaurant for those that enjoy good food, a great, relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere and enjoying the lovely views by Southbank. Thank you for having us and taking such good care of all of us today!

Visited for a pre theatre meal . Pleasant meal from pre theatre menu , well cooked but not outstanding . Service was average.

Good food, I had the steak and friends had the haddock. lovely atmosphere and exceptional service. Next time will also have the 2 hour unlimited Prosecco. Will certainly return.

Fantastic views but the portion sizes were small and quite average. The service was a little slow and could have been warmer.

Booked a table for 2 near the bar for pre-performance bite & glass of wine … and not only benefitted from the stunning festive Thames views but also the excellent service of our bar tender & waiter Yssef (hope I’ve got that correct - a charming young man) and a delicious plate … prawn linguine 🥂

Absolute rip off, dont bother, its all a show. Rack of lamb for 2 came with 6 pieces...6! and 2 sides....absolute joke

Christmas menu, served lukewarm verging on cold. Venison overcooked and tough, with cold jus.

Fabulous dinner for a big group of us at Skylon last night. As always, the view, staff (very efficient and friendly) and food were top-notch. It is a favourite that never disappoints.

Experience: The experience was good lovely views. Also as we were celebrating our anniversary we were given a complimentary dessert that was lovely. Food: was ok but nothing special. If you’re coming here for the food the best dish we tried was the venison however I’m not sure the price justifies it. Waitress: Britney was lovely as was with us all evening and made the evening service better than it would have been. Sometimes good staff makes an evening much better than expected

Hi We went for drinks last night birthday The cock tail was very good. Thank you to our waiter. If I can politely point out. The staff taking coats at the reception not so a lady with shaved dark hair. Needs to be given help dealing politely with customers. If it hadn’t been rain heavily we would have left straight away. Perhaps it’s a language issue on her part. But poor service to be spoken to in such a manner.

Great location with amazing views the River. Food was tasty and service was good.

I have been to the skylon restaurant many times. I’ve had some amazing lunches there today. It was a friend‘s birthday. That was 26 of us attended this amazing dinner Tom who is the waiter was amazing. We had the bottomlass Prosecco but the plates were very cold when our dinner arrived the Yorkshire pudding was crispy and the potatoes were very warm. It was not a very good lunch. I have had better. I understand is very difficult when there are so many people to serve also the lady who took her coat was very attentive and the whole staff was excellent but I do think you should look at warming the plates before you serve for lunch Apart from that it was an excellent lunch

Visited Skylon for my birthday to have the bottomless brunch. The food was really good, plenty of choice and delicious. Part of the reason we chose Skylon was because the menu choice looked so good as opposed to other venues offering a bottomless brunch and it didn’t disappoint. The staff were attentive and our glasses were never empty. The atmosphere was great, good music and a saxophonist (wearing the most fabulous outfit!). I would definitely recommend this venue and will definitely go back.

Good food and wine. Friendly efficient service. Nice atmosphere. Great place to while away the afternoon! We will be back...

The best experience was amazing Arianna was the best bartender the cocktails were delicious

This is awful the waiter waa a really nice guy and wanted to please but needed training. The food cold over salted with badly cooked pork and at one point a hamburger order failed to turn up. The starters were good but the mains were all difficult to eat. Cold tough meat with no or inedible crackling. When we complained the manager failed to come over. Finally i approached the manager. I feel he should have been on it within minutes. Instead he sent his waiter to offer some free desserts about 3. Since there were 8 of us it was so insulting. Then the manager always via the waiter and never direct. The way they calculated it made it more than the bill. It was so convoluted 😂. In the end I had to help them calculate a discount. Which now i sit here was not enough. Plus the view is marred by some awful lights outside. Needs a whole new team

A really nice place where we ate very well. The service was excellent and so was the welcome. I can't give excellence because the restaurant is very noisy. There is no soundproofing and it is almost impossible to speak without raising your voice. I hope they fix this aspect soon, which for me is essential to having a good evening.

Fantastic evening. Delicious food in a beautiful restaurant with a table overlooking the Thames. Our waiter Felix was very attentive. Overall a great experience. Will visit again.

Though the Restaurant is in a lovely location and the service was fast, our waitress, and all the other staff members quite frankly, were grumpy and rude.

The team made my Dad’s 60th so special- thanks so much

We were served by Britney and Chetan. They were both incredibly professional, kind, and personable waiters. They deserve a bonus!!!

Second visit and it was just as good as the first - the Saxy brunch is such great value and the bottomless prosecco is topped up often and well worth the extra £21 Beautiful food, a welcoming and lovely team and great music - just a super experience They do a perfect Eggs Royale - order it!!

Very disappointing. I was put off the moment I walked in - entrance is a side entrance of the building and is like walking up a run down multi storey car park. Restaurant looks a bit tired, the wooden floors badly marked and feels like it needs a major facelift. Food and atmosphere very average and doesn't justify the high price tag. Entertainment was a bit odd - a DJ with a constant dance track beat and a saxophonist. Toilets are outside of the restaurant in the foyer of the festival hall.

Mixed review - have been plenty of times, restaurant is looking dated, stains on seats and flaking paint. Needs investment and won’t be returning as a result
