This is an especially great spot in the summer with lovely London views. Ratings * Taste: 6/10 * Service: 6/10 * Price: ££ * Presentation: 7/10

   At the beginning of October we had dinner in the outdoor area of ​​the Balcony restaurant overlooking Covent Garden. We had Seared halibut, Honey roast carrots and Chargrilled vegetables with cheese tard. Everything was wonderful, and I would particularly like to highlight the service, friendly, attentive, professional.

   Gorgeous venue. Convenient for the show but food is ok. Would recommend going early for a drink in the cafe vs a full meal. But nice to do once with a show for a special occasion. But paying most for the convenience. The Cornish hen was dry and could have been delicious with a bunch more gravy. Beef was nice and succulent but also would have been nice with more sauce. Most enjoyable was the lovely ceiling and view of the Royal.

   Astounding food, great service and atmosphere. Lovely building too. We booked ahead so food arrived very very promptly before our show, can't recommend this more. The meats were cooked to perfection and the sauces devine! They also had a fantastic selection of wines and the champagne they serve as standard is very very nice indeed. With drinks, worked out to about £100 a head, but I would say worth it!

   A fine dining experience to pair with a ballet performance at the Royal Opera House. Atmosphere is classically grand and one of a kind. Staff were outstanding and professional. The food was well prepared and seasoned. Beef was better than the fowl if you had to pick. The fish looked good too. Beef carpaccio starter was very good and so was the dessert cheese plate. Tasty house-made butter. Price reserved for special occasions but well worth it.

   I went to Balconies with my mom before we went to see the opera "Turandot". It was a great evening, the opera was fantastic and the location of the restaurant is wonderful. The scenery/setting of the hall is beautiful, with a quaint bar in the middle. The service was really great, and our server was very attentive and nice. The food was also very good - we started with the slow-cooked Clarence Court egg (superb!), and then had the guinea fowl. It all tasted really nice and was accompanied by good champagne. We had an amazing time at Balconies and at the Royal Opera House, and I would absolutely recommend visiting Balconies if you are going to the Opera. 5/5.

   Despite good reviews we were really disappointed. Booked for pre theatre drinks. The space overlooking Covent Garden is fantastic but service non to ordinary. Confusion over the table and where we could sit. No table service for drinks and for a beer had to go to a separate bar. Staff were confused as to what was going on? Needless to say, no one came to offer us a second drink so we went on to another place.
