    We went to Skylon last night to celebrate our son's 21st Birthday. Table for 4 and we had the best time. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The food, alcohol and ambience were all amazing. We were given a beautiful bar table to begin with and then moved to a lovely table overlooking The Thames. Can honestly say this was a wonderful evening and can definitely recommend this restaurant. Special shout out to our lovely waiter Felix, who was smily, attentive, fun and generally just looked after us really well. Well done Skylon. This was our second visit and we will be back for sure.

    A daytime visit. The restaurant is behind the RFH on Belvedere Road, this is a helpful alternative to the midmarket chains that dominate the SouthBank. Inventive seasonal menu and imaginative sides. We had pheasant, soufflé and hispi cabbage side. Generous portions and very friendly service. I wanted to see slightly more variety offered for the desserts. The dessert menu felt quite standard, streamlined and a couple of options short, but having said that, the chocolate delice tasted amazing and was beautifully presented.
