Lofty ambitions but not quite there
Much hyped recently, Skylon has a superb setting right on the river at the Royal Festival Hall. Panormic views of London, high ceilings and airy atmosphere. The food though, whilst fair is not worth any hype at all.
The fish soup was average and the lamb was tasty but not any more exceptional than a good gastro pub.
I would rate the service but then with a ratio that seemed like it was 10 staff to every diner, you'd expect good service.
I would go again, at lunchtime on a sunny day but only if I got a really special deal.
