Skylon Grill (Royal Festival Hall, Belvedere Road, London, London, SE1 8XX) Do not bother. Aside from great atmosphere and view over the river I wouldn't rate this place at all. The service was abysmal. Clearly not enough staff for the no of busy tables they had. We waited 40 mins before our drink order was taken. The food was rubbish. My foie gras was so warm it was almost swimming on the plate and the quince chutney still had most of the stones in it. A mouth of hard stones is not palatable and very bad show. I guess the only upside to that was the manager taking it very graciously and removing it from the bill. All in all below average (except for the wine) particularly for the price of food. I defintely won't be back.
