Ambiente sowie Aussicht waren top! Preise sehr hoch für die Größe und Qualität der Speisen! Man zahlt eigentlich nur für die Aussicht so viel… Wir hatten 1 x Roasted Salmon (39 Pfund) mit Reis (extra 10 Pfund) und der Lachs war sehr klein! 1 x die Summer Roll with Prawns = leider ohne passende Soßen!!

Satay chicken and Wantons came to table cold. Considering the price, the least you'd expect is warm food. Cocktails were good. Christmas decor was good. Service was ok. £20 removed off bill for food being cold - didn't finish the food.

First and last experience, I called them 10 minutes prior to our table time to tell them that we would be 10-15' late, the lady on the phone ensured that there was no problem, after we arrived and we went to the reception to get checked in the lady said to us that we would have to wait as our table was released because we arrived late, I proceeded to explain that I had called and showed her the call, we were sent upstairs. At this point everything was a mess, the lady at the reception didn't know anything, I showed her the call and explained her the situation, their internal communication clearly didn't fail, we were told that there was a table available or if we would prefer to wait for a better table, we decided to wait. Shortly after the lady comes again to apologize and offer a table further back, she told us that we had a window table but it was released because we were late, at this point the situation felt ridiculous, the lady was constantly trying to blame on us the problem completely ignoring the fact that we called them. Once we got sited the manager showed up to try to speak to us, he basically proceeded to explain their rules and stuff after we explained the situation, he completely ignored that evidential facts that we were discussing, he started talking over my partner, his face was getting red as he was not liking what we were saying to him, we weren't happy but we weren't rude, in the end he left and not in a good way, this guy is not only absolutely unprepared to be a manager but he is also not suitable for customer service jobs, surprising being an Italian guy at a high end place. We ended up leaving without getting any food, the service was disgusting and we didn't feel like giving our money away to such place, it is hard to believe that Shangri-la accepts this kind of service blaming customers when they are proving to you the facts, definitely not going nor recommending this place. Been 10 years in London, not expecting this at a high end.

I booked the sky lounge for just a drink for my partners birthday and we actually ended up staying for food as well as more drinks. The whole evening was absolutely perfect, nothing was too much trouble and we were looked after very well by multiple members of staff. The drinks were perfect and the food well let’s just say that it was the nicest chicken burger we have ever had (as well as great value for money) We got moved to a window table about 10 minutes after arriving which made the evening even more perfect. The location is absolutely stunning and we will definitely be back.

Deapite having reservation in advance i asked for window seat. We were offered not window seat and for polite request to have window seat (even available ) we were denied and asked to wait. They approached us once our time was almost over to have a seat next to the window. It was not wort of 150£ stay with such a treatment.

Not worth the price, and there are obnoxious policies about minimums and "no guarantees" about getting to enjoy the view -- really the only reason to go there. The "systems" they have to make tables that actually do enjoy the view available for guests is opaque at best. They say there's a queue and folks can move to desirable tables in some sort of sequence. But really they just take new diners directly to the window seats so if you're unlucky to be seated at the wrong time you pay 30 GPB per person to sit in a dated hotel lobby. Unapologetic service.

Whilst the views from the Sky Lounge are breathtaking, so are the prices! £21 for a Gin & Tonic and £18 for a medium glass of wine are, by far, the most expensive I have ever seen. My wife and I both ordered a Burger (at £32 each), the quality of which was no different to what you would expect in any half-decent pub. The background music, although a good choice, was too loud and we found it difficult at times to make ourselves heard. The service was fair, although I was surprised to see that the chosen uniform for waiting staff was jeans and trainers. The evening (or at least the 90 minutes we were allowed) was certainly an experience, bus is not one I will be repeating in a hurry.

We had a fantastic evening, not something we do every day and the experience was brilliant. We had a fantastic table, in wonderful elegant surroundings, with possibly the best view, the service was polite and unobtrusive, and the food was delicious. The only caveat, is that we were left with our drinks for an hour and a quarter, and when we spoke to the staff and explained that we didn’t have much of our time left, they agreed we’d have more time. We ordered our food, but we were not aware that our starters and mains would come at the same time. They were delicious - but not piping hot, and we would have preferred a gap between courses. Nothing could take away from our experience though, it was wonderful.

Thought the cocktails were very very nice, although well overpriced really. Enjoyed the view but was disappointed that given the cost and exclusivity the waiting staff were in jeans and loooked like they were wearing what had been all day - for the price paid would like to think the owners could give them a smart uniform.

We booked a table for two people for dinner. We spent £275 and were asked to vacate our table after 90 minutes, despite wanting to continue consuming our expensive bottle of wine (£70). After expressing our dissatisfaction, we were assigned another table. The concept of 90 minutes reservations is applicable for customers who just want to have a drink and enjoy the view. However, this may not apply to customers who need a little more time to dine.

Loved our visit, the view is amazing, breath taking. We were seated at the window which was fabulous. Service was great, pleasant waitresses, and the cocktails and wine were excellent. Yes it is pricey, but worth paying a little extra for the experience. Just a shame we could only have our table for 1 hour 30 minutes as our time went far too quickly.

Having looked at the menu prior to booking we knew what to expect and what we wanted, hence why we choose here. Friendly and helpful service throughout the evening. Only issue was due to a staff shortage the starter and the mains had to be served together, which meant the small table was very full of plates and glasses and the mains went cold whilst we enjoyed the starters. Quality and taste of food was good and the portion size was large, just a shame we had to have it all in one serving.
