Charlotte's W5

➤ Dickens Yard, The Old Stable Block London, W5 2UQ, United Kingdom

Fish • Pizza • Coffee • British

"Charlottes W5 used to be one of our favourite places to eat and to entertain friends but recently things seem to have gone a bit wrong here. When we arrived we were told that most of the fresh fish dishes were not available because the supplier had not delivered possibly a worrying sign?The sweet potato gnocchi were not good, the other mains were ok. The service however was very patchy and not up to standard for the prices they charge, in my opinion. it wasn't busy but we had to attract attention to order and ask for the drinks menu twice. Chips were forgotten, coffee was forgotten, the staff looked harassed. On the plus side, the starters arrived promptly and were good (although for some reason the Caesar salad was not available? Odd) and the waitress offered a free pudding in exchange for one plate of uneaten gnocchi. We may return ourselves but regrettably I don't think we'll be taking the chance of inviting friends there again."

The Rose

➤ 138 Chelmsford Road, CM15 8RN, Brentwood, United Kingdom

Pubs • Steak • British • Cocktail

"Posting on behalf of Wife. Humiliated in front of other diners purely for coming in with a double pram. One female member of staff pointed at newborns babies saying they can’t accommodate that ‘thing’. It’s small enough to fit through a single door so doesn’t take up much more space than a single pram! Even offered to put pram away and place chairs at the table to create more space which received huffs from staff around the inconvenience of having two sleeping babies in their chairs! Made to feel unwelcome and anxious for the duration of lunch so left swiftly within an hour. Fortunately other diners were lovely but staff are in serious need of training on how to treat customers. Numerous new mothers struggle with anxiety going out with babies and that kind of treatment of an individual struggling could have a serious impact on their mental health. Disgusting behaviour."

Del Villaggio

➤ Broad Street, Birmingham, B151DT, B15 1DA, United Kingdom

Italian • Meal Deals • Appetizers • Pane E Olive

"We visited during the Birmingham Jazz Festival, and both the food and service were outstanding. The music was delightful and really enhanced the atmosphere of the evening. "

Retreat Adlington

➤ 19 Church Street, Chorley PR7 4EX, United Kingdom

Tea • Pub • Drinks • British

"After visiting another restaurant on Chorley New Road, we decided to check out this new addition to their collection. We found the quirky two-level layout of the restaurant to be much more appealing. We used to go there when it was called Shadus, an Indian restaurant. Retreat has clearly invested a lot in the decor and ambiance, creating a very comfortable interior. For anyone who may have difficulty with stairs, I recommend requesting a table on the ground floor, as dining is available on both levels."

Angus Ale

➤ 28 Adelphi, Aberdeen I-AB11 5BL, United Kingdom

Vegan • British • European • Scottish

"I absolutely love this place! I've been there twice when it was at Old School Mountain and once at Adelphi. Out of all the burger spots in Aberdeen, this one is my favorite. The burger is juicy, and the truffle and rosemary salted fries are fantastic. We also enjoyed a lovely bottle of Pinot Noir, which was a great way to kick off our evening! The service that night was exceptional as well, though I didn't catch the name of our server (a woman with dark hair). I highly recommend a visit!"

Fire & Stone Covent Garden

➤ 31-32 Maiden Lane London, WC2E7JS, WC2B 5HA, United Kingdom

Pizza • Pasta • British • Pizzeria

"Don’t bother here ! We travelled here after trying the Franco manca pizza at Tesco and loving it so much and expected the restaurant to be even better. The waiter wasn’t that friendly upon arrival. We asked for garlic bread once seated, which was lovely, but waiter left without asking us for our drinks order , and then waited ages to be asked what we would like to drink. Once our drinks arrived , beer arrived in a bottle even though we asked for on tap , no glass given with the beer , and the red wine was served in a beaker too. Then we had our food order taken and asked for a jug of water. Food came , wasn’t great at all , didn’t eat much of it and had to ask AGAIN for water to come as we didn’t want to continue eating without a glass of water. By the time the water arrived we didn’t want to eat anymore. Not a single check back on the food from the waiters. We stacked our plates up to make it obvious we had finished eating and waited over 20 minutes for someone to come over to collect plates. Someone I believe the manager came over to collect plates and asked how the food was. I said we didn’t enjoy it. No comment from manager. We asked for the bill , waited another 20 minutes. Ridiculous, left £20 on the table and walked out. Will never be returning. Very dissapointed ."

Metropolitan

➤ 2 Lapwing Lane West Didsbury Manchester, M20 2WS, United Kingdom

Bars • Pizza • Steak • British

"We’ve always enjoyed dining here, especially for the fresh, made-to-order pizzas and the fantastic atmosphere. The outdoor seating is one of the best around—it’s a lovely, picturesque spot to enjoy a meal. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall experience. However, our recent visit for the Sunday roast was a major disappointment. The roast was incredibly bland, with the only noticeable flavor coming from the gravy. The pork option came with just a sliver of crackling, and the roast potatoes were barely roasted at all. While the lamb shank was cooked perfectly, it was still lacking in flavour. At £16-18 per person, the roast just isn’t worth it. We’ll stick to the pizza next time."

Bistro Franc

➤ 1 Hanover Street Liverpool, Merseyside L1 3DW, L1 4AA, United Kingdom

Steak • Pasta • French • Italian

"Our waitress Alexandra was lovely, and couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. Our food was delicious it was our 2nd visit to the restaurant and..."

Manhattan Bar & Grill

Bars • Seafood • Italian • American

"Delicious grub, the Monday 30 percent off is an absolute steal for a main. Walked out well fed and very happy with this Gem. Ended up having the Spicy chicken strips and rice but I will be back for a burger. Very good and great for groups of 4-6 people"

Clydes And Grill

➤ River Drive, B79 7ND, Tamworth, United Kingdom

Cafés • Pizza • Grill • Mexican

"We visited for a family meal on bank holiday. We were greeted tv a female member of staff who said they could not accept ‘walk ins’ and we had to book on line. Despite the restraints not being very empty. She told us we could stand outside and book on like and come back. We stood in the carpark (with 2 toddlers) and booked a table on line and walked back in. We showed to our table and told there was 45 min wait for food which we kindly agreed to wait. We watched the staff chatted and pointing to us. Then someone came back over and said the wait for food was now 60 mins. This was shortly followed by being told that the kitchen was actually closing. We were told that they closed the on line booking system and would not accept our booking!! Despite their staff telling us to book a table outside and we would be served. We were gobsmacked. The staff clearly did not want to service us. I’m not sure if they wanted to close early, but the whole thing was highly unprofessional and rude. We had 2 children under the age of 4. We have contacted trading standards and reported the venue. The food looked really rubbish anyway. Luckily we found another pub which was super friendly and served lovely home cooked food. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS VENUE"

The Ambrette Canterbury

➤ 14-15 Beer Cart Lane, Canterbury, CT12NY, CT1 2NY, United Kingdom

Cafés • Kebab • Mexican • Fast Food

"No idea what happened on Monday, and still zero communication apart from the restaurant apart from the money spent being silently refunded yesterday. Completely bizarre experience. We pre-ordered a home delivery Valentine's Day meal a day early to make sure they weren't sold out on...the day. After the food hadn't arrived, we called the restaurant and after minutes of confusion on the other end was eventually told our food was out for delivery. minutes later and still nothing, we called again and a similar amount of confusion came from the other end, except this time ending with it's minutes away from you Another minutes pass and we call, the time being about and the phone just rings through. Again and again. They are literally not picking up the phone at this point. Occasionally it goes through to voicemail as presumably some other confused customer attempts to contact them only for the phone to keep ringing. Now, it's a busy day for restaurants, so of course some problems are to be expected. But why was there absolutely zero communication? What happened to the food? Why was nobody answering the phone for the rest of the evening? Was it a desperate order from management in the chaos of an over-booked restaurant? Why did we not even get a text or email to explain that our food was never going to arrive? Again, a simple we're sorry, we were really busy and your food got lost stolen eaten, here's your money back and we hope you'll give us another chance some day would've been frustrating but at least we could have moved on and found something else to eat. The food IS good, and we have enjoyed it many times over the years. But instead, absolutely no explanation was given, no apology, no way to even contact them to find out what was going on. Just us having to guess that it's never going to arrive so it's time to make other plans, at going on on Valentine's Day. Oh, they did send out a marketing e-mail today advertising Great Value Mid Week Meal Deals For Two No thanks."

Chez Moi Bognor Regis

Cafés • Seafood • Mexican • Fast Food

"We had been looking forward to visiting for a while and we were not disappointed, the food was as gorgeous as we had heard and more!! Our waiter was very polite and informative about the menu. The fillet of beef was the best my husband has tasted and my vegetarian option was full of seasonal flavours and textures. Will definitely be going back. Thank you Chez Moi x"

Tummies

➤ 5 Station Road CippenhamBerkshire SL1 6JJ, Slough, United Kingdom

Soup • French • Fusion • Coffee

"I had to go up twice to ask to order and call a waiter as we hadn't been asked if we wanted drinks after being sat in the restaurant for minutes. The bill was wrong too, I don't think this one server is reflective of all wait staff but service was appalling on this particular day. When I went up to ask for someone to take our order, I was ignored for a while too... Atmosphere was great, and food was really nice."

Siam Thai

➤ 44 Moulsham Street, Chelmsford, CM20HY, CM2 0HY, United Kingdom

Sushi • Pizza • Seafood • Asiatic

"I do not recommend this restaurant at all. The service was poor and the food was terrible. The mixed starter, which included ribs that tasted like a gammon joint, and Thai fish cakes that were like soggy omelette dumplings, was not enjoyable. The massaman curry with chicken had poor quality meat, such as thighs, which was disappointing considering the high cost of £14 for the curry alone. When we tried to remove the service charge, the waiter pretended not to understand, despite clearly knowing what we were asking. I will not be returning to this restaurant. I am perplexed as to how it is rated as one of the best Thai restaurants in Chelmsford on TripAdvisor."

Bistro Jacques

➤ 37-41 Hardman Street Liverpool, Merseyside L1 9AS, United Kingdom

Soup • Sushi • Steak • Pizza

"Six of us visited Bistro Jacques for a pre theatre meal. Good choice of food for each course and delicious as well. Tuesday offer is excellent value 2 courses and a bottle wine for £17.99. As 2 of us were driving we were able to take our wine home! Staff were friendly and efficient and at no time did we feel rushed or under pressure to leave our table. We were there for 2 hours! Bistro Jacques is always our choice when visiting the Everyman."

Cafe Zoot

Cafés • Pizza • Seafood • Fast Food

"Been here lots before always ok . However today , 11.30 am was empty. Asked for scrambled eggs on toast , 1 other had the same and 1 the American breakfast . Both eggs came with salmon , not ordered! Waitress seemed very put out that we didn't want it, hate anything fish , took them both back , obviously just took off salmon and brought them back . I said no sorry, if this tastes fishy , I can't eat it , you'll need to redo the eggs please waitress , big sigh, wasn't my fault she got the order wrong , I did apologise ! Brought them back, they were hot so thought maybe had been redone ,but upon eating , were drowned in pepper and green herbs , it was extremely obvious to me that they had not been redone . Waitress did come back to see if all was OK and at this time , I hadn't got the pepper burn on my tongue , so said all was ok . Didn't like the attitude of Waitress or the blatant disregard of food allergies . I don't have a fish allergy , it's a good job i dont . Won't go back"

Tummies Restaurant

Bars • Cafés • Steak • French

"A dreadful choice of restaurant for breakfast. Am local and have visited tummies for many years, and really rated their food highly, especially breakfast. However made a bad choice to visit Saturday morning for breakfast. Service very slow with rude unhelpful staff. Husband asked for a breakfast sandwich. It came with sausage, bacon and no egg. When he stated to waitress it should come with an egg, she decided arguing that a breakfast sandwich was just bacon and sausage, and was very reluctant to budge. We had to be very persistent that this was incorrect. She then offered to go to kitchen and ask. On her return, she simply said it had been forgotten and they would cook one if he likes !!! Wow !!! She then stated would you like me to get you one then !!! So took his plate back to kitchen, and had an egg put onto the now partially warm sausage and bacon. Bread was dry and all curled up. In all this time I still sat there with no spoon for my muesli and fruit. We had drank our coffee, before the food came to us. She then asked if everything was OK now, and I explained it wasn't and why it wasn't and I would like to see the manager, because it was all unacceptable. She never returned and we never had a visit from manager. Will never use tummies again. Don't make the same mistake as us. The restaurant has new management and it is definitely not for the better."

Charlotte's Bistro

➤ 6 Turnham Green Terrace Chiswick London, W4 1QP, W4 1PR, United Kingdom

Snacks • Coffee • British • European

"Totally agree with Wee Willy Winky. Thought this wasn't permitted especially if it's their PR Agency.However experience of restaurant Friday lunchtime was good. Food excellent and very good service.Wine list expensive. Couldn't find a House Wine.However front of House was poor. My co-eater was virtually asked to hang her own coat up and when we were ushered to a table, and were about to sit down, the manager (I presume) told us curtly we couldn't sit there as it was for and would be taken.By the time we finished our meal (we were in no hurry) the adjacent table was still vacant.So the food and service (waitress) experience was good.Brush on front of house etiquette and it will be a great place to go."

Beer • Pubs • English • American

"After waiting 20 minutes to be seated at our table in the restaurant my husband went to the bar to ask if we could be shown to our table. Ten minutes later the restaurant manager seated us and explained that they had some big parties in and one of their chefs had called in sick so service was 'dragging a bit '. We chose our food from the menu and waited for a waitress to come and take our order, which didn 't happen for another half an hour. Just as we were considering leaving, the waitress came and took our order finally, an hour after our booking time. Our first course arrived around 20 mins later (nearly half past nine) and the soup was very nice. When we asked if it came with bread, we were told no as it had croutons in it. I asked if we could have some bread anyway and the waitress reluctantly got us some. However, eating a first course at 9.30pm just seemed too late so by the time our main course came out at 9.50pm we just wanted to quickly eat it and get home as it was late and we had babysitters to get back for. We therefore asked for the bill as soon as the main course was finished and left. I understand some nights are busy and it cannot be helped if the chef is unwell but what I do object to is the attitude of staff, who really didn 't seem too bothered about serving us or making the experience a positive one. If somebody had told us on arrival that there would probably be an hour 's wait to order our food, we would have understood and we would have had the choice to wait or go elsewhere but being told that service was slightly 'dragging ' was nowhere near the truth. It was very delayed indeed. A simple gesture such as a complimentary drink and some snacks to keep customers happy while they were kept waiting would have been all that was needed. Nothing was taken off of our bill as a good will gesture for all the time wasted and there was no apology when we paid. All in all it left a bad taste in our mouths and we will not be returning."
