The menu shines with highlights like the monkfish and duck, while the cocktails, especially Fleming's Remedy, impress. Although prices can be high, the "stunning location" and "amazing atmosphere" make it "highly recommended" for special occasions.

    Aqua at The Shard truly exceeded my expectations! The food was exceptional, but the monkfish stole the show - it was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. The cocktails were also a highlight, with Fleming’s Remedy being a standout. But what really made the experience unforgettable were the breathtaking views of London, especially during sunset when the city lights began to twinkle. If you're looking for a dining experience that's both delicious and visually stunning, Aqua at The Shard is a must-visit. Book a table by the window for sunset and enjoy!

    Beautiful views of the city at sunset. Food was very good but not exceptional. Hostess was grumpy and unwelcoming Table server seemed nervous and tried to rush us out before offering coffee or dessert.

    My last visit in Sep was disappointing so was this one. If it’s not for the view the restaurant will lose his clientele. I only stayed because after the long talk with one of the hostess I was moved to a better table. But I honestly don’t think that I would visit again anytime soon.

    Stunning views and a great atmosphere at Aqua Shard! The mains—duck, lamb, and steak—were absolutely delicious, and the wine list had some fantastic options. Apps were just okay, and unfortunately, the service didn’t quite match the setting. Our server wasn’t very friendly or knowledgeable. Still, I’d return for the views and the mains. Worth checking out if you’re visiting London!
