Oblix Reviews

Had the Sunday roast , Ribeye for two, expensive but great service and the views of London are to die for

Fantastic&Romantic view of London! Especially in The night! Amazing!

Great view. Sommelier very helpful. Service really friendly and food was fantastic. Overall a great experience, thank you!

Considering the cost
View is great
Staff are ok
Food is ok
The drinks are good
All in all it was worth the visit but for food there are other places that are better to go. It's just about the view.

The view is amazing, the food is good but not extraordinary. Still I recommend the place for a good lunch or dinner with a city view...

A hammer outlook u a great atmosphere. You have to know without reservation you hardly get a table that you can only have for 2 hours.

Booked a table for my husband's 40th Birthday. Received a confirmation informing me that if I didn't arrive within 20 mins if my booking the table would be released, and that the booking was from 13:30 until 15:00. Received the same email a few days later, then the day before the booking I got a text asking me to confirm I'd read the conditions. Turned up on time only to be told the table wasn't ready and told we could go to the bar or hang around the foyer. We went to the bar. 20 minutes later we still hadn't been seated so we asked what was happening, we were told the people were taking a long time with their desserts, we were finally seated 25 mins after our booking. We then waited nearly 1 hour for our main courses and so asked where they were, were told it was because we'd asked for well done beef. The food arrived and it was lovely. We then ordered dessert and whilst my husband was finishing his dessert he was asked to hurry up as other people had booked the table. He asked to speak to the manager as we were only still there due to the rediculously long time it took to serve us. They took off the price of the desserts and the 13.5% service charge without us having to ask. The food was nice but the service was appalling

Such a pleasure eating at Oblix. Have eaten here before but visited on this occasion for my nephews birthday. The food didn't disappoint, the staff are very attentive and the views are amazing. All in all a beautiful, surreal experince...Will be going back soon for afternoon tea, can't wait.

Luxurious bar with stunning views of London at night! The cocktails are incredibly delicious! In sports shoes are not allowed. Keep in mind.

Amazing views, good service, regular drinks - very expensive and they don't exactly make an effort on the presentation, you pay for the location with the view...

Having first been told that my deck shoes were not allowed (hello Hitler, f@!k off Jesus no sandals) by the security staff that run the building we were permitted to enter the shard(still wearing the deck shoes) and get in the remarkable lift that takes you to the 32 floor in not a very long time.

Having increased our potential energy we bounded into oblix (no mention of the deck shoes) with Dickensian expectations.. The views of London are breath taking. It is a beautiful place to eat. Which makes it even more disappointing that there is nothing beautiful to eat in the place.

The staff were very attentive, and though they had no ricard in the building, we tucked into a glass of champers. The sommeiler helped us to choose a beautiful German riesling to go with our food.

Just quickly on the drinks, I prefer to see my wine and my water. I also prefer to pour it myself. I accept that not everybody does.

The menu seems a little disjointed. As if the dishes on the menu were pulled out of a tombola hat. I struggled to find two dishes that I felt could work together.

We started with the wood fire roasted beets with goats curd and the soft shell crab. Frankly the beats could have come from a Waitrose essential tub of cooked beetroot. The goats curd was quite tasty. This was all covered in a ghastly rosemary granola. An inauspicious start to the meal. The soft shell crab was okay, the spicy marinated vegetables saving it.

Then, the Piece de resistance. Dover Sole, on the bone, in brown butter. awful. as were the side dishes. cauliflower in some sort of buttery water. broccoli covered in chilli, and big fat pub chips.

Then a coffee.

And that cost 210 pounds

Then we lost all of the aforementioned potential energy and went home.

Beautiful and delicious food, imaginative cocktails, attentive staff, and an incredible atmosphere created by the endless view. Should be on everyone's 'Bucket List'

Incredible view and great drinks but very expensive

We dined on 20th Sep 2017 and had a food poisoning - most likely bad seafood batch, as we ordered a seafood platter as a starter. 3 out of 4 guests who had the platter had symptoms of food poisoning; My partner emailed them directly to inform them but they didn't reply, not sure what actions they will be taking to prevent this in the future. I would not want anyone to go through this experience.

Magnificent restaurant for location, food, atmosphere. Obviously it has a very high cost but it is normal given the exclusive place.

Got food poisoning here and so did my family. We had the seafood pasta. Service is strange. Avoid.

In a word, exceptional - the professionalism of the staff, the quality of the food and the views. All things combined to make an unforgettable experience!

The place is fancy but honesty the service is quite bad, we waited 15 minutes at the bar to be seated although we had a confirmed reservation at 9pm and the food took more than an hour to come so it s worth a visit for the view and the place but not to repeat.. music was very bad as well

Excellent food! Slightly overpriced! Amazing squid and octopus as starters! Highly recommended if you are going! And great views!!

Got engaged here on the 1st feb 2020 could not change a thing

Rrally cool views on top of the shard, especially great to go during sunset. Food is also very good and impressed by the service. Very good experience overall.

Food is ok not great! Staff very friendly and welcoming. Good experience overall

We went for the brunch and omg! A lot of food and my glass was never empty!

Great atmosphere, staff are friendly and polite, starter was amazing, lunch was great chicken however was a bit salty when it came to the thicker part of the meat, fries and sauce were great. Dessert blew me away amazing taste and display was creative. View is definitely worth checking out. Staff catered to our needs and gave us the window seat when requested
amazing lunch.

Fantastic bar with a beautiful view and beautiful cocktails.

The view on the evening is amazing: one of the best experiences I have never done. The food is good, well presented and in the right quantity. I am only little disappointed about the service: it is too much present. I'd like to have a conversation with my partner without interruptions every 15 minutes...

Amazing food! Can't go wrong with the crispy octopus and the suckling pig!

Every time you call to make a reservation the uneducated lady Anna who feels to lecture you rather than take the booking is extremely rude and condescending. She needs to go for training or go and work on a prison ward. Rude unfriendly and unprofessional.

What a nice and cosy place ;) Recommend for a fancy visit out and about with drinks and food!

This evening I took my boyfriend out for his birthday. We went for the tasting menu with wines, and we both agreed that we wouldn't have ordered a few of these dishes, but after trying them now we realise the mistake we would have made. Our waiter, Russel, has a strong knowledge on the dishes and was charming and accommodating. The final course came with a 'Happy Birthday' note which was a beautiful touch and down to him as he was the only know knowing we were celebrating. The sommelier, Sid, (I believe) was also brilliant and knew about the wines in depth, and educated us in wines which again we wouldn't have chosen but complimented the courses perfectly. The service was brilliant and we truly felt cared for and welcomed in the restaurant and I would highly recommend anyone coming here for special occasions. Although some might argue that the prices are dear I believe that it was truly a value meal with the quality of food and service we got. Typically I wouldn't write reviews but I'm so over the moon with the service that I feel it should be noted. Thanks so much, we will definitely be back soon!

This was a great restaurant and place to visit. Definitely plan your visit right before sunset The view is incredible of London. must go!

I took a group of employees for a summer treat but would not recommend or go back.
We spent thousands of pounds that evening but the seating plan we sent in advanced was wrong, the table wasn't ready when we arrived, staff were constantly filling our glasses up with over priced water to the point it was intrusive, long wait between courses and they didn't meet my requests for the wine resulting in additional and wasted costs.
Food was nice, but nothing special. For the money we spent I would have expected exceptional service. Also note that half the group had their back to the view which doesn't seem well thought out.

Good bar and not that busy late at night allowing to you get window tables close to closing time. The view is to the north and east. Cocktails are expensive. There is a sweet one in a coconut-style mug which was good. Aqua Shard is an alternative which has more expansive views and the infamous men's toilets looking out over London.

Great value for money when considering the surroundings, view and quality of food and service, made our Anniversary extra special, staff were brilliant, thanks

Maybe I had too high expectations, but I was slightly disappointed... My fish didn't have much taste but the side dishes were delicious! The staff was very attentive and helpful.

Still here and waiting for any kind of service. Amazing view of course:)

Fine food, fast service, great atmosphere but limited time for dining. Make us feel a bit rush dining. Still worth to dine here.

The food is ludicrously overpriced for what it is. I've had better steaks and lamb for more than half the price. I imagine you are paying for the view, which is spectacular. The service, while friendly, was a bit shoddy. I ordered the lamb roast and had to ask them for my Yorkshire pudding and potatoes. Other vegetables were extra. The allergy menu is basically just steaks and vegetables.

I would recommend just going to to bar section and ordering a light snack or coffee and enjoying the view. Go to Borough Market for your main meal!

Definitely worth a visit for the view and atmosphere, but for the price- the food and desserts were nothing to rave about, nor the service provided.

Great views and great service at the bar. An interesting selection of cocktails, all beautifully presented, though as you might expect very pricey. Unfortunately one thing you get with these sort of prices is your stereotypical city types with more money than manners, all keen to flash as much cash as possible to impress their materialistic dates. But you may be lucky and not bump into too many of them!

We came here for our anniversary dinner and it didn't disappoint. The best steak and chips I've ever had. Great cocktails, beautiful cheesecake and the warm bread to start with was lovely. Excellent service and an amazing setting. Could not fault a thing. Would definitely return and recommend.

Superb service, a view.to die for and wonderful food

Really good quality of food for a place that can easily win customers merely by the amazing view it offers of the city! Not too expensive all things considered. The suckling pig is so delicious (a little bit fatty sometimes but I still keep ordering it because it s amazing).

Nice to experience great food with a top view. Staff were very polite. Was a bit on the pricey side though that s expected for the location.

I would not eat at Oblix East. Your money is better spent at the viewing deck. Or just walk upstairs to the restaurants, take in view and walk out. The food is very very expensive and marginal. The service was awful. We ordered a glass of wine and they brought a whole bottle. Then gave attitude when we didn t want the bottle. You won t have one waiter, so no one knows what s going on. We had a table far back without a view and saw a table with window view empty for over 15 minutes. Waiters walk around aimlessly and knocked into my chair without apologizing all night. This restaurant tries to aim as high end. But if you sit at a high top there isn t a place for a nice handbag. Even Chipotle high tops have a hook for a handbag!

great restaurant with excellent service, fantastic view

A beautiful setting and delicious food, cooked to perfection. I played it safe and had a steak while my georgeous partner had the salmon. We was extremely lucky enough to land a window seat and enjoyed stunning views towards St Paul's More

The food was amazing, the view was amazing and staff were amazing, all so warm, welcoming and friendly. Had a problem with one waitress but Ash the manager made up for it tenfold. He is amazing at what he does, he knows how to talk to people and to put people at ease. Felt totally put out by this waitress (who is leaving) but Ash was so understanding that he made me feel soo much better. Thank goodness Ash was there or our night would have been ruined by this waitress!
Thank you Ash and the rest of the team who made our night memorable, we had a great time thanks to all of you!
Thank you again,

Wonderful experience for my kids 21st. The five of us had an incredible evening with excellent views, beautiful food and excellent service. Well done to the maitre de for sorting a problem with the food quicky and efficiently and without fuss.

It is a good place to visit and it one of the best fine dining experiences I have had. The food was delicious, and the staff was attentive, they never liked to see an empty glass put it this way. Would recommend to anyone wants to see a great view of London and have a decent fine dining experience.

Great views and excellent value up,market restaurant

Fairly rude staff who hover around, gaging for you to make another order so they can get another big buck, and made fairly rude sarcastic comments as we left about not spending enough time in there after 4 rounds of drinks.

Make sure to make a reservation way in advance if you're planning to go for dinner. We went to the bar first for drinks and then went to the restuarant for dinner (this gives you both views from Oblix).
For dinner, we ordered the Lobster Linguine, Crispy Shrimp, Free Range Chicken main course and Pork Ribs. All were delicious and recommended!

The view is breathtaking with amazing ambience and food.

Slave drivers - these people exploit their workforce really badly. Pay less than minimum wage and 'share' tips at 84p each a week. Utterly nasty.

The views are really amazing from the restaurant. You can choose from Oblix West or Oblix East, the east side is more casual. I'd recommend booking, especially on the weekends as they might not let you up without one. Also make sure you aren't dressed too casually (no sneakers). We had a few starters and the lobster as the main. Flavours were okay but weren't amazing. The starters were tasty (seared beef, king prawns, beef tartare). Worth it if you are after a meal and a view!

Well where do I start so we came down for food on Friday 29th March for my partner bday
Food is so over rated , considering your in the shard the waitress who was dealing with us didn t look presentable at all sorry to say she looked like she just rolled out of bed she had no make up on at all overall we wasn t happy at all gutted :(

I really couldn't have asked for a better b- day dinner at a better venue. I actually had reservations at the Shard but cancelled it after comparing menus. I was seated on the Eastside of the restaurant, I had a direct view of the London Pride. My waitress Robbi or Bobbi (Italian female) was really lovely, attentive and kind. The food, omfg the food. When I'm spending money, I don't like to be disappointed and I wasn't. My mocktail mint Mojito was EVERYTHING, my starter and my meal. AH MAY ZIN.....

I had a birthday dinner here two years ago organised by my partner.
The entire experience was brilliant starting with the superb views, customer service and ending with delicious food and wine.
I hope we could repeat the experience one day

I must say I was dissapointed. The greeting as we arrived was disorganized and lacked personal touch, too conveyor belt like. Food was nice but by far not the best I've ever had. Service was friendly but lacked attention to detail and in my opinion too many staff looking after different areas. Twice I had to ask for my wine to be refilled, which I wouldn't have an issue doing myself, however there were 4 tables wine in the wine bucket so could not reach or determine which was ours. I informed the waiter as arrived that it was my partners Birthday, to which he said to leave with him and he would arrange something at the end of the meal, this did not materialise. For the prices charged I feel you are only paying for the view as the service and food did not reflect the price by any stretch. Will not recommend or return.

Stunning food in a lovely high end setting and obviously incredible views

Service and view are good but food is borderline mediocre/awful. I guess if you have to pay for the view at shard, you might as well eat quality of food at Neighbouring Aqua or Hutong is slightly better though all have unjustifiable high price tag for what they are. If you just want the view, have a drink at the bar and eat elsewhere

Amazing location in London, the bar worth a try. Prices fair enough for the location, stunning view.

Best restaurant ever. Amazing outstanding views. Recommended to go for dinner. It is, as expected, expensive but durable if you save some money like my boyfriend and I did. Nice for anniversaries, dates, and especial occasions. Romantic and special.

Duck not well cooked.
Very slow service.
Friendly staff.
Nice view of London.

Really cool place especially with live jazz. Don't go to Aqua. This spot is way cooler. Must book in advance

Went with my family for a meal at the Shard. It was truly a fabulous tasting meal. Three of us had the lobster & husband had steak.
The staff are very attentive and the food is mouth watering and is beautifully presented.
Staff are very professional and you are made to feel special...it can be expensive but so worth it.
