Mumβs 60th birthday drinks
Had an excellent experience for my Mumβs 60th birthday, the staff gave us an amazing table and come out with a birthday treat. Would highly recommend.
Spectacular views
Only ever visited for cocktails but the food menu does look good. Spectacular views, elegant surroundings and it's a place to dress up. Expensive cocktails but you have to expect that for the spectacular views. Complements to the staff for thei
Overprized
A good Wiew over London skyline but thats all ! It βs very noisy and the kitchen/sevice is very slow It took around 1.30 hour the get the food ,but not all some was missing The food was Ok no more
Disappointed food
It was my fourth visit to the restaurant.Unfortunately, on this occasion,I was left totally underwhelmed by the food! The whole experience was not for Michelin -stared restaurant. Itβs more a visiting London view point/ centre not a Michelin βοΈ
Hidden costs at Aqua Shard
Afternoon tea be aware the price is not what you think. There is a Β£50 surcharge and thatβs before you tip the waitress. So really they should be open about the cost upfront e.g. Β£70 works out to around Β£90 per person. Good food and service besi

Outstanding Location
Wow - must be one of the best views in London and one that should definitely not be missed. The cocktail menu is extensive and all the ones we tried were well presented and delicious. The staff were very professional.

Food was very good! Visited with friends and really enjoyed our experience. The service was top notch and the drinks excellent. We hit a clear day and could see miles. Make sure you plan enough time for the security line though!
Perfect for a Special Celebration
As a family of seven we booked the bar and restaurant for a retirement celebration meal on Sunday 26th Oct. Initially we were seated in an area away from the main bar (it was busy). However, after a short while we were moved to a table near to the

A amazing experience
We went to Aqua at The Shard for our wedding anniversary. It was a great experience with no issues. Came out of the tube and the Shard is next door. All the staff are so nice from the security guy outside to the people in the restaurant. The foo
Tasty food and drinks, great views, special thanks to Camila
We went in the evening for food and drinks. I cannot comment on regular portion size because we had a tasting menu at a hospitality event. We could eat a little bit of everything. The tuna was excellent, very tasty. Spring rolls were also tasty, v
Lunch Menu portion sizes are ridiculous. Think we got about four desert spoons of Risotto for our main.
Lunch was tiny β¦ beyond belief actually. We had Risotto and the portion was 3/4 desert spoons of food. Desert was also tiny three spoons at best. Vegetables are extra Β£12 for fries Β£8 for carrots. I get ita up market but really? Would never re
A wonderful reunion
Fantastic experience. A group of us met up for a reunion, to celebrate 40 years since first meeting to train and radiographers at Guys hospital. A lovely way to celebrate, and made to feel very special by David Kyle Boyd. A truly amazing host.
5* Romance 3.5* Service
The experience as a date was truly romantic β the view was divine, the setting beautiful, and it genuinely felt like a date on top of London. The food was delicious and the cocktails were perfectly crafted. Prices are on the higher side, but thatβ
Birthday for Five
Reservations required for a birthday dinner on a Wednesday night at 7:30. Availability of seating was minimal. The lighting gradually got darker as the dinner progressed. By the end of the dinner we could hardly see. Each person ordered a starter and

This was our first time at the Shard and it took us a minute to figure out where to enter to get to Aqua Shard. So note to others - you enter from the lower street level. Once you walk inside you go thru security and elevator takes you straight up

A Great themed High Tea especially for children - Peter Pan and Tinker bell motifs. Fabulous views over The Tower and London in general. Costly
Fabulous
The sunset menu and the matching real sunset was stunning. A very special place with great views and great food. It is expensive but it would be. Well worth it for a special occasion.
Amazing View
First class cocktails with a view. Attentive service and great ambiance. Highly recommend a visit but be prepared to pay for it!
A first date to remember. Wasn't cheap but still worth every penny IMHO!
We had a lovely evening. The panoramic views set a stunning backdrop that elevated the entire experience. Service was exceptional - They figured out how to be attentive without ever feeling intrusive or like they were rushing us in any way. Specia
Disappointing lunch

DO NOT BOOK Peter Pan afternoon tea
DO NOT BOOK The Peter Pan afternoon tea!!! I feel like I have been robbed of money. I thought it would be magical for my little boys 5th birthday - he loves Peter Pan. The food arrived on a tray. There were 2 finger sandwiches each. The egg mayo was
Fantastic views but overpriced food
Clearly you have to go here for the views! We booked for 7:30pm giving us the daytime and evening outlook β¦ fantastic sunset and night outlook. Friendly service. Main dishes were lovely. Dessert was very poor though and would recommend you skip tho
Excellent food and service as well as great views
From the start this was a fabulous experience. And made my sister-in-laws 50th birthday so special - she was blown away. A warm welcome from the front of house staff, champagne whilst enjoying the view, a window table (thank you for making that happe

I would not recommend for afternoon tea - unless you are taking children because of the Peter Pan theme. The view is great, but the service is subpar so it is distracting from the experience. We had to ask for water, plate change, utensils, tea, te

Great restaurant at the top of the tallest building in London! Great ambience, food, service and the best views of London. Wonderful experience.
Disappointing.
Lousy service. Took 45 min to get a drink. Then dinner came in 10 min. Every meal went to wrong person and not timed. Waiter inattentive with attitude. Food just ok. Never return.

Dinner Anniversary
The view is obviously excellent and thatβs the main reason being here :) Jorge that served us was very friendly and attended us really well! The timings of service was also good with no delays.
Average food with inflated prices and a compulsory tip!
My wife and I dined here last week and the view is obviously what many come for however, if thatβs the best they can do for food itβs not worth the time in the elevator. We did the set course sunset dinner which by most standards was ok but nothi
Absolutely perfect in every way.
Absolutely amazing Peter Pan Afternoon Tea. Everyone needs to go, all the food was SCRUMPTIOUS, in particular the Peter Pan hats. So tasty and unlimited tea and coffee. I had the oat milk latte, it was very nice. We had a great view at a window
Connect with users posting reservations for Aqua Shard London
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Aqua Shard London. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Aqua Shard London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Aqua Shard London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Aqua Shard London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Aqua Shard London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
