3 /5 ross davey: I recently visited SkyLon for a Saturday afternoon brunch and overall had a good experience. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, which made the visit feel relaxed from the start. A real highlight was the roaming band singing throughout the restaurant — they created a fun, lively atmosphere — and the view over the river was beautiful and definitely one of the main draws.
That said, there are a few areas that could be improved. The restaurant and building fabric feel quite dated and would benefit from a refurbishment, especially given that prices are comparable with newer, more modern venues. While the food was good and perfectly pleasant, it lacked the wow factor you might expect at this price point. The layout also feels more like a function room than a stylish brunch spot, which slightly detracts from the overall experience.
Overall, it was a good one-off brunch with great service and entertainment, but probably not somewhere I would rush back to.
