"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!"

The restaurant staff was unaware of the services available at the Royal Festival Hall.

Great restaurant, only issue is that the kids menu is not that child friendly for younger kids

Our cocktail order got lost and we had to wait over 40min for a gin and tonic and a peach cobbler. Other than that is was a lovely meal and good service.

If you to a restaurant for location and atmosphere you won't go wrong. If you're going for the food avoid. The food is of poor quality, small portions and poorly cooked. I have been to both the restaurant and the grill. I would avoid both. Have a drink at the bar and eat elsewhere. It is vastly overpriced for the poor quality of the food. Trust me and avoid.
Gijs
The bad experience begins at the entrance with the smell of rotten fish. Subsequently, after sitting at the table there is a rude and rude waiter. The dishes are simply terrible and at an exorbitant price both for the quality and quantity of food. Dinner ended with the worst dessert I've ever eaten, a mousse that seemed prepared with the supermarket preparations. Horrible experience
