The Melody Whisky London

➤ 153 Hammersmith Road, London, United Kingdom

Pub • Meat • Wine • British

"The staff was excellent, and the wine and whiskey were quite good. However, the food was just average. I started with the pigeon; the menu mentioned breast and wing, so I expected one of each, but I received four wings that were tough and had so little meat that they wouldn’t have satisfied a pigeon, especially for £14. On the plus side, the black pudding was enjoyable. The main courses were alright, but nothing worth raving about."

Sofitel London Gatwick

➤ Gatwick Airport North Terminal Crawley, West Sussex RH6 0PH, United Kingdom

Wine • French • Hotels • Dining

"The food at the restaurant was delicious, but unfortunately, the service was lacking. Things started off well, but after we received our main meal, the service deteriorated. It seemed like no waiter was paying attention to our table, so we had to constantly ask for things like the dessert menu, order it, and then receive it. We also had to wait a long time for our coffee, which was made incorrectly (flat whites are not the same as americanos). Overall, the food was good once we finally got it, but it fell short of what you would expect from a fine dining establishment."

Bistrotheque

➤ 23-27 Wadeson Street London, E2 9DR, E2 9BU, United Kingdom

Beer • Wine • Steak • French

"Bartender 's drink making skills were lacking. Flavourless drinks with too much ice. As we reviewed the menu and discussed the menu, he lectured us that no one comes here for the burger. When my wife said the burger looked pretty good, he replie, you should order something else. We were seated soon there after and told the waitress we wanted a burger. Sorry, sold out was her response. I ordered the overpriced fillet mignon medium rare and it came out medium well. Nice looking restaurant. Seems they put a lot of thought into the design. Someone else should be running place and they could be more inventive with the menu. As a former bartender, I recommend that rethink their cocktails. And paper straws? What a way to run a mint julip."

"I always struggle to choose what to order at this restaurant because everything is incredibly tasty. I always end up ordering more than I planned! This is one of my favorite places to eat. The staff is friendly and fantastic, and the food and drinks are excellent quality and reasonably priced."

Boulevard Brasserie

➤ 40 Wellington Street London, WC2E 7BD, WC2E 7DB, United Kingdom

Tea • Steak • French • Chicken

"On arrival the restaurant had no record of my booking even though I had received an confirmation email from The Fork. When the first course arrived they had got my order wrong. I then had to wait 10m for them to bring the (cold) smoked salmon whilst my guest’s (warm) dish was allowed to grow cold."

La Roche Cafe

"a hidden gem in the heart of the covent garden, directly opposite st martin’s hotel. I can't recommend this place enough. it has a very relaxed but charming feeling, it with a spacious sitting area in the open. I'm so glad we stumbled over this place. The...menu is all with a variety and excellent food quality. I had a delicious burger with cheese, avocado and all the circumcisions. the bark tasted so fresh and juicy. my partner had the chicken taouk and really enjoyed it. I also loved their selection of fresh juices, smoothies, milkshakes. in particular I loved her Sicilian style limonade with a twist of honey and mint, it was so refreshing. this place has good quality eating and we will definitely be back. many thanks for a beautiful Thursday evening in the heart of the covent garden."

Rumpus Room

➤ 20 Upper Ground London, SE1 9PD, United Kingdom

Bars • Steak • Barbecue • Cocktail

"Our experience at 12th Knot was awful. We had made a reservation through OpenTable, but upon arrival, the restaurant claimed they couldn't find it. We were instructed to check with the concierge upstairs. Unfortunately, the security guard seemed to signal to the woman at the door not to let us in, possibly due to our casual attire. Despite showing our reservation on the app, we were still turned away. We left feeling embarrassed and our evening was ruined. We were extremely disappointed by the judgmental treatment we received and have no intention of returning."

La Raza Events

"Visited La Raza for a cocktail making class for a friends Hen Do and can not recommend them enough. We had an amazing cocktail maestro, called Billy who was absolutely amazing and taught us so much about what we were making. We were also served lovely snacks and a welcome drink, which was such a wonderful touch. Thank you to Billy and La Raza for an amazing class! Can not recommend them enough."

The Maven

➤ The Vermont Hotel Castle GarthTyne and Wear NE1 1RQ, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

Beer • Wine • Bars • Steak

"This restaurant should be so much busier! It is great value compared to the chain restaurants in town. The decor is stylish, the staff are very friendly, the menu is great. I had duck breast with duck scotch egg and fondant potato, with side dishes of red cabbage (deliciously sweet and tart at the same time) and carrots with savoy cabbage, beans and broccoli. The scotch egg was so good, perfectly seasoned, runny vivid yolk. The duck breast wasn’t too rare or over cooked, so good. Then chocolate fudge cake with black cherries and ice cream, good combination! The fudge cake could have been a bit richer, gooey-er, but the cherries, sauce and ice cream made it 9/10. Generous cheese board too, no stingy slithers of cheese. Good plum chutney. About £90 for 2 courses for 2 with 2 drinks each."

The Archduke

➤ United Kingdom, SE1 8RL, London

Arts • Jazz • Steak • Drinks

"I was here on a date. we asked if we could have drinks at the bar and the manager said yes, while we noticed a table in the restaurant area at the bar and asked a waiter if we were sitting there and. the menu. he said yes, we wanted to order dinner when the manager came and told us we had to go. the table was not reserved as we asked the waiter. After he refused to give an explanation why we could not sit there and order food, he took our drinks and returned them to the bar. not only was this humiliating, but completely unreliable. the manager insulted me when we went out after he refused to give a real explanation for his actions. Maybe he doesn't like black people or gay people or train his staff not right. or maybe all three? here's a photo, if you see him, can you find out?"

The Brasserie

➤ Corus Hotel Hyde Park Lancaster Gate London, W2 3LG, FSA Food H, United Kingdom

Beer • Tours • Casual • British

"We waited for our food for over an hour with very little updates. Finally, they offered us a complimentary drink. The music was too low, so the ambience was lacking. The temperature in the conservatory was too hot, then too cold. Despite these issues, we enjoyed the company and had a great time once the food arrived. It's best not to arrive too hungry and be prepared to wait. They accommodated special dietary requirements, but the options were not well-informed or very creative. The traditional and cheese lover afternoon tea had a very good selection and quality. It's recommended to book in advance if you want to use vouchers and get an excellent deal."

Afternoon Tea at The Printing Press

➤ 21-25 George Street Edinburgh, EH2 2PB, United Kingdom

Bars • Hotels • Scottish • Cocktail

"Heard that this was one of the better places in Edinburgh to visit if you wanted a good cocktail. So this is were we headed. On approach it looks very posh (well it is in George Street) and inside the decor is rather grand if a little open and cold. No doubt this works well on weekends with large groups. We ordered some bar nibbles roast nut mix and the marinated olives. Good sized bowls and rather tasty with the cocktails. I was pleasantly surprised with the cocktails, they are a decent size with a good whack of alcohol. For approx £8 a cocktail you would hope so, but I've paid more for a lot less. We started of with two Brambles and then slowly worked our way through the menu. The Bramble cocktail is gin, lemon juice and Creme du Mure served over crushed ice with a slice of lemon and a hint of blackberries. It was lovely! We managed to get a nice seat in the corner by the window and spent the night listening to the DJ, sipping cocktails and talking nonsense. A fabulous way to spend a Friday evening."

"we had a great evening in their restaurant! we came in without booking, and there were 8 of us at one of the evenings. the spicy margaret was just one of the best cocktails we need to order most. the cocktails taste fabulous! one of my friends has several allergens. it is not good to eat, and most of the food she cannot eat. a blonde lady took our job, and I told her I had several allergens. an Asian lady knows my allergens. she went beyond and beyond to make sure I had something to eat. she almost makes me cry because she cares about my allergens. thanks for a fabulous evening. the Asian dame and all the workers make our evening just as good as her. We will be back for more cocktails. we love this place and you are the best!"

The Landmark London

"Excellent… Sunday roast menu is simple, but effective and there is a vegan option on request. Service was excellent, including Michael who made everything possible when we diverted a little off plan. Comfortable and generally spacious. Not too noisy but they can be a few young children with families. Easy to recommend."

"This restaurant was absolutely worth 5 stars! The outstanding service, the fabulous food and the stunning location with views of Pulteney Bridge and the River Avon. The inside of the restaurant had beautiful beams and fairy lights too. I had the lamb ragu which was cooked to perfection, the lamb fell apart in my mouth and the pasta was al dente, the sauce and portion size was perfect! My husband loved the pork and my son also loved his pizza, we tried bits of eachothers and agreed this was definitely some of the best food we have eaten. We also had the selection of meats and cheese, olives and bread which was excellent. The calamari and monkfish was delicious and again portion size was spot on. The chocolate souffle was cooked perfectly too. The chefs did a fantastic job with the food and should be commended !"

Hyde Park

➤ Blakemore Hyde Park Hotel Bayswater London, W2 3AN, United Kingdom

Beer • Hotels • British • European

"The location of the hotel is comfortable and the tea room is comfortable, with a quiet ambience and with very friendly service. I would suggest that the sandwiches should be made with much thinner slices of bread. They were cut into 'Soldiers', without crusts, which is nice, but because the bread was so thick, the fillings in the bread were lost and the sandwiches too heavy, with the tendency to dry. For me, afternoon tea sandwiches should be much more sensitive. Apart from that, the food was good and liked the little cakes."

Zaragoza

Beer • Tacos • Spanish • Mexican

"Pretty disappointed My partner and I visited Zaragoza for our New Year’s Eve dinner. I made a reservation with the understanding that a set menu was in place, however when we arrived and seated at a tiny table far too close to other diners for comfort, we were told that as there were only two of we could only order fro. The everyday menu. The service was slow and our waiter did not seem to understand what he was doing. We waited far too long for our drinks to arrive and when they did our drinks menu was taken away. When our food finally arrived it was mediocre, the paella was bland and the potatoes were not fresh. Although the meatballs were good. Cocktails and food is very overpriced for what you are getting and the service was terrible. The only highlight of the evening was seeing another couple get engaged."

The Banc

➤ 261-263 West Green Road London, N15 3BH, United Kingdom

Steak • Seafood • Burgers • Fast Food

"The food at this restaurant was surprisingly good, especially considering the price compared to other places in London. While our server was friendly and efficient, the rest of the staff seemed a bit disorganized. Our reservation was not initially found, despite my repeated attempts to provide my name. Eventually, we were seated within a few minutes. The restaurant required a deposit for the reservation, which was not initially applied to our bill. However, after showing proof that the deposit had been taken from my account, the manager promptly removed it from the bill. Overall, the administrative side of the restaurant could use some improvement, but the quality of the food was enjoyable."
