    We visited Gong bar on 27/11 at 16.00 - What a fabulous venue, with excellent service and a unique atmosphere. The whole experience was exceptional, and our Spanish waiter was brilliant with his recommendations and his service. We had a great time and would recommend anyone who is thinking of celebrating any occasion, special or not, going to this venue. One of the top venues in London with atmosphere, a great view and great service.

    Expensive and disappointing. I took my husband as a surprise for his 50th birthday. The views were great but that was all the Shard had. We were really disappointed with the drinks menu, the cocktails were limited and unfamiliar, nothing you would recognise. The one I chose was not very nice at all. The wine was good. The staff were not attentive and came across a curt and almost rude. Don’t waste your time, effort and money on the Shard, there are tons of wonderful places to go in London. The Shard is missing out on return custom for sure.

    We was waiting to order after our sitting more than 20 minutes . We were 4 of us and we were order a sharing plater and 4 drinks. The drinks came fine but the food never came. We had to ask the waiter after 45 minutes were is our dish and the even didn’t send the order to the kitchen. We were very disappointed from this visit and unfortunately we will not visit again this place. We had previous visit which was fine but this one was very disappointing.

    We booked the deluxe window experience. Definitely not worth it and we had to order extras. I also found a hair inside the tempura prawn but I didn't make a complaint as my partner didn't want to.

    The food and drinks were fine, but not great. The service was a bit slow. We had a to call the waiter several times since she would seem to forget to check in with us. The best part was the view. We had a nice table by the window.

    Amazing views, service impeccable, Negroni tip top, spenny but that should not be a surprise given the location.
