Skylon - London United Kingdom

Where can you take your oldest friend to celebrate their 60th birthday and retirement? I was on the hunt for a truly iconic and special place, and I found...

Maryam at the front desk was fantastic and gave a warm welcome. However, I was disappointed with the food and service. They felt rather ordinary considering the prices.

The food is only average, the service leaves much to be desired, and the views are non-existent—just trees and pavement. While it seems like a nice restaurant, it ultimately...

Most exquisite food in all three courses ! The steak tartare was beautifully marinated and well balanced with a soft and scrumptious soft boiled egg melting into the beef, the beetroot and the spring onion. My companion's scallops was also cooked and sauced in perfect balance. Then the mains of the duck breast was a knockout, skin still crispy and a deep thick juicy tender meat under. The hazelnut ice cream was a delight. The service was charming but a bit on the slow side all the time. The atmosphere in this bright delightful room facing the river was always airy and relaxing. You can hear yourself and your companion speak and no irritating thoughtless background music. A bit over pricey. Recommended.

I cannot believe we paid almost £1000 for such tasteless food. The food I had was below average. No exaggeration. I took a bite off all my friend's foods and everything was bland. It wasn't value for money. I'd give a 1* but the only reason I've said 2* is because of the friendly staff and nice ambiance. I requested for halal chicken and they didn't even have it on the day. Overall NOT happy so don't waste your money here : The ambiance of this place is just wow and the service of some of the staff member is outstanding however everything was so bland and tasteless.. other than the chocolate bomb, I didn't like the taste of a single thing and would not suggest anyone to waste their money buying anything from here.. but overall I had a good experience because my friends made my evening so special and it was their company that made it up for the tasteless menu.
