"Genuinely one of my favourite high end restaurants! AMAZING food…great entertainment and very good atmosphere. Food is not halal but they have vegetarian and fish options available and they do serve mocktail as well as cocktails and alcohol here. Be aware that food arrives as it is cooked so there is no order as to how the food comes out. There is limited parking around the area so please bare that in mind if you plan to drive, otherwise Uber is a good alternative. The interior is so elegantly designed and the staff are welcoming (most of the time), there is a cloak room for your coats and items, just ask a waiter! The speedy wait time on food is definitely a plus! I highly recommend this restaurant, although please be advised it does get much louder in the evening after 10.30 so not very ideal after this point if you want to have serious conversations. Also note they have a reduced menu after 11.30pm. Fridays and Saturdays are very busy so I have noticed the quality of service drops a bit in comparison to the other days and I have encountered unfriendly stuff at the door especially during my last visit hence the rating. I found this upsetting because as I mentioned previously it is one of my favourite food places and appreciate the quality of food served. They have a live band/DJ in the evenings."

"I used to really like Skylon it was somewhere you took someone for a special treat a real destination. But times have changed, there is so much more competition around I can’t help feeling that Skylon has faded a little. It still has potential; it still could be great, but on this occasion, it fell short of the mark. Maybe it was just the January blues, or maybe because most people were probably dining on the ES offer menu, but the staff seemed tired and lacking in energy, food service was very slow, and little touches were missing (for example, water wasn’t topped up, and even when we asked, it took over 10 minutes). Our starters were nice almost worth waiting for! and it felt like the mains could have been nice they were well cooked, and generous with ingredients, but all incredibly salty especially the risotto. Such a shame, because this really let it down I managed to eat around half (alongside some bread to offset the saltiness), but then gave up. I hate food waste, so asked if I could take away the rest (a small spoonful with some salad would have done us for lunch the next day). But apparently this is not possible at Skylon... this also shocked me... I’ve not encountered anywhere for a long time which wouldn’t accommodate a “doggy bag” (occasionally places have charged for a box, or occasionally the packaging has been a little makeshift, but people have always been happy to help). As a venue, it’s still nice has a great view, so with a bit of a shake up could be great again, but I won’t go back unless I hear that things have changed."

"Took my friend out for her birthday, we arrived 10 minutes early and were told to wait by the bar. Our table was booked for 3.15 and we didn’t get seated until 3.20. Once seated we were left for 25 minutes before I had to call someone over to take our order. No one even came to ask for drinks. I’d understand if there was a lack of staff but the management were stood around chatting and the guy who was serving our section was busy. The food came which was great but again no one came back to check on us, we had an afternoon tea and the tea ran out after one cup each. Again I had to call someone over after trying to get someone’s attention. At this point I was embarrassed as I wanted a nice experience for my friend and it wasn’t, it was slow, messy and the staff were inattentive. My local Ivy in Cardiff has never ever given me an experience like this so I was upset that I didn’t just take my friend there. On a side note, I was told previously that the Ivy is a dog free zone they let a dog into the restaurant in someone’s pram so is this not a country wide rule? Overall I wouldn’t visit again, I’ll stick to my local Ivy. The staff were slow and nothing about the trip was worth the money or special."

"Langan 's Brasserie is something of a London restaurant legend. Now coming up on its 36th year, it opened as a partnership between Irish entrepreneur Peter Langan and the actor Michael Caine which was enough in itself to draw in the celebrity crowd and Langan 's was one of the places to eat in the eighties. Langan is now dead and Michael Caine sold up, but Langan 's continues on unabashed, its website still claiming that it 'remains one of London 's top eateries to be seen in for Celebrities, business people and Joe public alike '. An almost stubborn unwillingness on the part of Langan 's to change will either endear this restaurant to your heart or ensure a hasty retreat in the other...read more"

"Excellent service, very careful re Covid, good spacing even in the comfortable bar area, excellent food. The piano player was an added bonus.Something else will make me go back on top of all that though. That is learning how this employer, whilst other big hotels nearby use Covid to squeeze employees, has worked hard to not only keep all employees even while hotel bookings have been down dramatically, but has also called them all each week to check they are ok. I think there should be We Care for Our Staff awards for employers and we customers should select based on that. Ask your providers if they have cared for their staff and pick accordingly.."

"Today we went for lunch and were extremely pleased with our meal and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. It was also a special birthday lunch for my wife, which I mentioned in my booking but didn't expect anything from it. The staff greeted us and wished my wife a happy birthday. At the end of our meal, when we ordered coffee, they surprised us with a brownie with cream and a candle, and even sang happy birthday to my wife. It was a lovely touch."

"We got a voucher from Itison for a day out with a friend and were pleased with the theatrical cookery and the value for money. There was a choice of starter and then fried potatoes, stir fried veg, egg fried rice with a choice of main course. We had delicate chicken gyoza with dips followed by delicious teriyaki chicken salmon (not a single bone). We couldn’t finish the portions and loved the atmosphere. The Grateful dead I e tea cocktails were amazing. Will return."

"We went here for a business lunch. It may be bad luck with the dishes that the three of us ordered, but we all went for the lamb as a main course, which was frankly very disappointing. The lamb came in small pieces (say was thoroughly overcooked (totally brown). We were all looking forward to a nicely cooked piece of lamb that was pink, but this looked like it was just diced up and fried. Not good cookery. Our starters and desserts were not terrible, but certainly not great either (probably lower quality to most supermarket desserts). Perhaps the chef was having a bad day, but otherwise I cannot fathom why anyone is rating this restaurant highly (although the location is lovely, and the decor also is nice and festive). Service was good too. Overall I am glad I was not paying!"

"Really was torn over wether to give this 2 or 3 stars. Gave this 3 stars because the food we had was VERY tasty but the service was terrible. We had originally booked for a larger number of people however we had to cut the numbers down. At the very last minute we were able to increase our numbers by 2 so we asked if this would be possible. They refused... (We understand the table might have been small and couldn 't accommodate it etc) We were in fairness offered to move if a bigger table came later in the night but for now our 2 additional friends would have to sit outside. When we went to our table it was clear that 1 extra person could easily fit and 1 more could fit (although admittedly it would be tight)... We asked the waitress again and was refused... We were told it wasn 't possible but clearly 2 more could join. Eventually having begged 4 times they agreed to us to sit on one table and we enjoyed a delicious meal... Except one set of sides arriving practically at the very end (which they did take off the bill (once reminded) Service 2 star... Food 4 star (For the price) Average 3 star..."

"Fabulous staff, the reception lady did her best to find us a window seat overlooking the city which she didn’t have to, we were then greeted by a very attentive and pleasant waitress who made the experience comfortable, we were expecting the usual , slight snobbery one tends to find at these expensive establishments but she was very kind a patient. My only regret was not bringing physical cash to tip the servers and reception lady as they won’t allow tipping via the card. 5/5."

"it is a very pretty restaurant, they just need to ask to sit in the flowering room. it was very busy. eating was in order, some of the little tellers like sushi, crab, huh and truffled frries were nice. squid was very smokey. I think the best dessert was the chocolate strawberry, ananas dessert was a bit basic, and alaska was very sweet. the selection of mocktails was in order, even if not alcoholic splash was a bit mad. overall, it is no cheaper place and it makes typical posher type of Asian food. service was hit and miss, no one offers their dumbbells to take on the door was a bit slow to time. other than that, house music was good and loud, the good choice to drink, but perhaps too loud to eat. overall we had a great time. I think I'd go back."

"What an awesome place to eat with amazing food and excellent service ! First ever visit but certainly not the last for me and other half. As a big sushi fan, I was always weary of the idea of fusion and I truly got schooled on the beauty of fusing cuisines. The food was truly outstanding and the flavours out of this world . Looking forward to our next visit already ! Thanks to the team at Tropical Sushi who is awesome, friendly, welcoming and smiley."

"Had a very fun dinner here with one of my best friends and we absolutely loved it the food was delicious and I can highly recommend the miso carrots, Peruvian fried chicken and the yummy crispy lamb belly. If you love interesting cocktails, delicious food and a very cool vibe then you have to try Pachamama (just so you know the music can be very loud so if you don't like not being able to hear yourself speak then maybe think twice)"
