I recently booked the Sky Vie Aqua Shard 3-course dinner for my boyfriend’s birthday, hoping for a special and memorable evening. Unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing, especially given the high cost of £377 for the meal.

From the start, the food did not meet expectations. Our starter was a few burnt pieces of octopus swimming in a strong vinegar sauce that was supposed to be orange sauce, accompanied by some boiled egg bits—it was far from appetising. My boyfriend’s carpaccio was passable, but that was one of the few acceptable dishes we had. The main event, which I ordered as veal, turned out to be raw meat—likely venison—served with a bitter sauce and grainy mashed potatoes that were not blended properly.The accompanying ham or bacon was dry, and the vegetables were a hard leaf of romaine cabbage smothered in cheese.

My partner’s halibut was decent, but overall the dishes seemed like they were made by different chefs without any cohesion. The only positives were the bread which can’t make up for the poorly prepared food. I ended up hungry and had to rely on cocktails to mask the bad taste, and I couldn’t even bring myself to eat dessert after such an experience.

For what was billed as a Michelin-guide-worthy dinner, this was an overpriced and regrettable evening. I paid quietly to avoid embarrassing my boyfriend, but I truly feel this meal did not deliver on any level. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously, and I would not recommend this dinner to others looking for quality or value.

The organization on Valentine's Day was notably substandard. The table linens were of a thin, unironed quality, exhibiting significant creases. Table numbers were poorly presented with inadequately cut printed labels. Furthermore, expired cheese was served, and some of the grapes were on the verge of spoilage. We cannot recommend this establishment for special occasions.

I went there with my boss 2 weeks ago, the view was amazing, yet the chicken I ordered had been cooked long before I ordered it , and it was just heated up! I guess you guys deserve a better chef or policy!

Appalling service, the food was even worse. Cold meat inedible Yorkshire pudding.
Waiters arguing amongst themselves.Ruined a family lunch
The view was excellent though

Dreadful food and even worse service.

Waited forever to have our order taken.
Food took forever to be served
My wife was served an inedible steak which was more akin to a tractor tyre than food.
Could we find a waiter to help us? We could not.
The only good thing was the view. Even they couldn't mess that up.

Food is okay, but overpriced.

Uncomfortable atmosphere.

Would not recommend.

My partner booked us and his mum in for afternoon tea and we had the best time. While the food could be better, I think the view overtakes everything else. If you are in London, this place is worth visiting. My mum is coming to London this weekend, so we will be going again!
