"For a Sunday cocktail, lovely place to go. Be aware it closes at 6pm. Cocktails are over priced, but I guess you’re paying for the fun ambience and live singers, which are fantastic. Staff were friendly, but a little over attentive, this might have been because we were only 1 of 2 tables in. Overall would definitely recommend for a fancy drink or two."

"Skylon is a curate 's egg. The location with stunning wide river view is hard to beat, but you are literally paying for that. The staff are welcoming and attentive (apart from not taking coats, which are hard to accomodate at the tables . Skylon 's prices in particular on drinks are over the top for the fare on offer. Skylon is the 'brasserie ' end ' of the room, but two of us still paid £150 for 2 courses each and a £40 bottle of wine between us (one of few 'affordable ' options on the list . My halibut was delicious but inexcusably tepid it was cooked OK so must have sat around before despatch to table. Frankly if I have to spend that much to enjoy this venue I will stick to the Skylon Grill at the other end of the room in future at least there are tablecloths and comfy seats there ; (However, I was lucky not to book there this time there was a large and very noisy party taking place in the Grill . Heads up for the over 40 's the dim lighting makes a nice ambience but doesn 't work well with menus printed in grey, small font. Reading glasses and phone light recommended!"

"Mix reviews. First time I went had a great experience took the tartare which was delicious followed by the grilled fish with was also delicious. Would have given 5 stars. This time I ordered the bone marrow burger. It Was dry, very salty and served with a side salad without oil or vinaigrette wasn’t sure what the plan was with that. I definitely wouldn’t order again and service was on the cold side compared to first time. Would had given it a 3 stars at best. So averaging on the good side I’ll give it a 4 but based on this experience I don’t think I’ll return."

"Very good food, definitely a step above the standard gastro pub food in London. Friends had the shared steak (looked great) and we shared the pie and the duck. Very clearly this place is not just serving the classics and instead gives variety to its accompaniments, which coupled with well executed meats sets them apart from most. The venue was nice, if not quite similar to competitors in the area and Good crowd for a Saturday. If I was to find a flaw, the bar service could definitely be better. Not rude, just a bit slow and disinterested. Overall very good experience"

"visited with a group of 18 to the breakfast. the staff was very accommodating to put all of us together at a place, even bringing an additional table when the number of what was expected increased. I had a big frit that filled my plate. coffee and teapots were regularly refreshed without it having to be demanded. the breakfast lasted a few hours, which is normal for our group. the coffee was good as the frit. beautiful clean cozy furnishings. they give me how if they found it helpful."

"I sat downstairs on a busy Friday night with two friends. The service was perfect. The receptionist was charming. Our waitress was attentive and skilful. We sat at a large communal table. She made helpful suggestions as we chose from the menu, kept our glasses topped up, produced all the dishes on time and was super efficient with our bill. I paid for a bottle of wine and we split the food bill. She gave us 4 separate bills without being asked to. The food was fine, the atmosphere civilised, exactly what you want on a relaxed night out"

"Terrible: Very poor value for money, food was mediocre (some dishes were over salted, some were bland), wine was way overpriced and not very good. There were 5 adults and one child in our party, none of the meals or drinks were interesting or special. Food took a long time, the kids meal arrived 1.5hrs+ after we sat down, we had to ask two times for it since our 4yr old was getting hungry. In the end, it was a plate of sausage and mash and I could have cooked something more interesting and tasty myself, in a fraction of the time. Worst of all was the service. The waiters were pushy, arrogant and not very effective. They spilled the wine down the side of the glass every time they poured it (my wine glass was also dirty when I sat down). They pushed extras and sides, felt like we were getting ripped off all the time. Food took a long time. Over and above this, they were very rude to us and we left feeling that they were trying to create a special restaurant but failing badly at it because the food wasn't very special, the service was terrible and the price was way too high. Very disappointed, would advise you to go elsewhere."

"I celebrated my mother's 60th birthday at this restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I was able to bring in a birthday cake and they were very attentive in assisting with it. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. As an added bonus, they even sang a birthday song when they brought out the cake. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for both adults and children."

"The ambience and room were lovely, the staff were also very good and attentive throughout. Service was not the issue. The food however was all a bit lacklustre. My friend had the fish pie that was a lot of potato and cheese but not much fish...it was in a word 'stodgy '. I had one of the special dishes which was the Frito Misto...for the price it was not good value or quality: small portions of actual fish and it was all over cooked to the point of being dry, there were about 12 whitebait, a few calamari, one prawn, and 1 piece of mullet about 4cm in length. The heritage tomato and red onion salad it was served with was good. The desserts were fine, nothing outstanding. I also had a single espresso, which tasted dirty...very poor quality. Overall disappointing and at £120 not good value considering we had 1 beer and just a bottle of water."

"Very disappointed with the lady in the cut off tracksuit bottoms and scuffed primark pumps. Upon ordering and walking due to no delivery drivers we were then given the incorrect order. Only realising once we were home it was too late and far to recollect. We called and the gentleman offered us our missing burger and one complimentary burger. The following day we collected our good will gesture food that was accompanied with a free drink each too. Once we had a warm welcome, we then waited for our burgers. A waitress then questioned if we had paid, and continued to joke and laugh about our 'free burgers ' that had been paid for the previous day. She bluntly asked if we had paid and loudly mocked in the kitchen how we were given free food. We then arrived at our next destination for our day, we bumped in to the same waitress at a local bar who shouted across for everyone to hear about how 'these girls are for free '. This was embarrassing and made us feel that we had asked for something we weren 't already owed. Very unprofessional and improper for a host. A bad representation for a business."

"We had to queue for a while to get in but we had prebooked online on Gotham’s website using a Virgin Gift Experience voucher (and we put the details of this voucher in during booking). We had a booking confirmation from Gotham but the receptionist then said that we needed to bring email confirmation from Virgin on top of the hotel’s booking confirmation (we hadn’t actually been sent one from Virgin so had nothing to show her). The receptionist was dismissive and made us feel really embarrassed in front of all the other people who were queuing. She said there was nothing she could do and suggested we either leave or pay for the afternoon tea ourselves, despite the fact that it had already been paid for. Whilst we tried to find the voucher details online other people in the queue were having similar issues with their vouchers. Eventually we managed to log into the Virgin website to find a code and were allowed in. But by that time the receptionist was visibly p ed off with us and what was meant to be a birthday treat was really stressful and uncomfortable for both of us. We laughed about it during the afternoon tea but it was a pretty horrible afternoon. If your tech and booking systems don’t work very well then just be kind and helpful about it. It was supposed to be a special day that we had been looking forward to and you kind of ruined it."

"This is a delightful fish and chip restaurant! A group of around 40 of us arrived at the same time (we had made a reservation), yet they managed to serve us all almost simultaneously. The fish and chips were the best I've ever had! The cod was fresh and flaky, accompanied by a perfect batter. The chips were generously sized, crisp on the outside, and fluffy on the inside—every single one was excellent. We also had the option of mushy peas and tartare sauce. They served us drinks, as well as cups of tea and coffee. There wasn't a single thing to complain about. It's a fantastic restaurant with excellent service. Please don’t change a thing!"

"we booked last minute and there was a lot of us. It was one of the busiest Christmas nights of the party season. Generous portions of food. Wine inexpensive. Great place to spend with a lot of friends that don't want to leave with a huge bill. Friendly staff went out their way to serve"

"I have attempted to place an order with this restaurant twice in the past two weeks. This used to be one of our favorite places to order from. However, on both occasions, the order was cancelled without any explanation after 15 minutes. Additionally, when trying to reach them by phone, there was no response. We have experienced issues with this restaurant in the past, which we initially thought were isolated incidents, but it seems to be a recurring problem. We will not be ordering from them again, which will result in a significant loss of business for them."
