"I had a wonderful evening at Carluccio's—my first time dining there. I initially booked a table for 12 three days before my 50th birthday, but after being surprised with a party, I adjusted it down to 6 and then 3. Despite the changes, the meal was delightful; I ordered the chicken with white wine sauce and requested a small amount just in case I didn’t like it, but it turned out to be delicious. There were no complaints about my last-minute changes to the reservation; the staff, especially the manager, were incredibly nice and friendly. I will definitely return soon and highly recommend this restaurant!"

"Having a coffee at this café was reminiscent of being in Tel Aviv. Noisy traffic, people speaking on their phones in Ivrit, orthodox Jews strolling by and a laid back atmosphere. Even the plumbing was very Israeli. The toilets were very clean but the taps were coming away from the sink. It was a cold day in August, which is definitely not typical of Israel and we were seated outside as a Covid precaution. The friendly staff did offer at least twice to turn on the external heaters which would have been nice, but when we left some 20 minutes later the heaters had still not come on. Well it's the thought that counts ....."

"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."

"Very average maybe even below average by today’s standards. We were sat in the restaurant area and asked if we could move into the “pub area” but sadly the tables were all reserved (I’m sure they could have moved us around). The restaurant area had...no vibe to it, the lighting is bad and didn’t have the atmosphere like in the pub area. The lager on tap was Coors light, which I have never seen at a pub, doesn’t even taste like beer in my opinion, so we went for a Cornish lager which was ok. I had a burger and my partner had tuna steak, all I can say is the meal was very very bland with no taste at all. The waiter came over after we started to check on the meal, we said not great at all, he didn’t really know what to say and walked off and said “enjoy your meal” well we just said we aren’t so…… The tuna steak was a good size, but sadly it was cold in the middle and didn’t have any seasoning on it. This was the same with the triple cooked chips, there was no salt on it at all, the chips were soggy with no crunch to them. Then onto the burger, again so bland and no seasoning, I wouldn’t tell the difference between the burger and the chips (chips again with no salt). We finished the meal and the waiter came over, he asked again how was the meal, we said it’s not good. He then offered to take the tip off the bill which is quite embarrassing for us, they shouldn’t have to take the tip off the bill as the service wasn’t bad, it’s the food that was bad. I booked the table online and it asked for any special requests, it was my partners birthday so I said if they could sing happy birthday that would great, but they didn’t do anything. We finished our food as quickly as possible and moved into the bar area for a drink, this was nice and had a great vibe to it. Over all we were VERY disappointed, we would have spoke to the manager but we thought it wouldn’t get anywhere. We thought we would write a review, so the restaurant can take this as some constructive criticism. We certainly won’t come back if nothing changes, which is a shame as it’s a nice pub."

"came to pret to do my writing work. because of the government campaign eat out, all invaders were 50% off. this worked well and the sale was reduced by my bill without request. good, spacious seating area for people who want to do something work. seats were slightly creepy and scattered in a way that made the place look less stylish than it could have been. otherwise the cappuccino and baguette I had were excellent."

"We went there for brunch on a nice sunny day. They let us sit in for because we didn’t have any reservations, which was nice. I guess. However, the food was a disappointment. Our waiter was not approachable, and every time he came he banged everything on the table. The food was mediocre served cold."

"Was the second time I had eaten here but had a lovely Sunday meal here last Sunday courtesy of Flatmate. Butcher and Grill (situated on the formersite of Cafe Rouge) occupies a great, imposing site. The Butchers shop welcomes you as you walk in- to the right a lovely array of meat and to the left a delicatessen/grocers selling a selection of organic produce. The split-level open plan restaurant is to the back. A heavily stocked bar located to the left, high ceilings and exposed brick work give the place a sophisticated yet homely feel. Flatmate and I, starving as ever, eyed the menu and decided to forgo the starters (pretty unexciting) and dive into the mains to stop ourselves drooling onto the table. We excitedly ordered plates of the rib eye steak. Sides as do the sauces, come separately so we ordered some green beans, mash, dauphinoise potatoes, mushrooms and green peppercorn and red wine sauces.Before I was about to chew Flatmates arm off it all came thick and fast and we were very excited. Meat looked good, potatoes looked good. Veg looked ok but mushrooms a side does not make. HmmmmAmyway, it was great. We loved the organic rib eye fantastic and flavoursome though a touch overdone. Nevermind we said, we were too hungry to care and i was upset when the last mouthful had gone. Flatmate pushed the boat out and ordered us puddings cheesecake and an apple thingy. In preparation, we had to unbutton the top of our jeans to make room. Can't remember but i think they were nice the steak just keeps coming back to me steak cheesecake? steak apple thingy? Not sure how much it all came up to as lovely Flatmate paid (thanks Nic). But it was a great hearty, winters meal perfect for a cold Sunday afternoon. P.S. The first time I came here I came with my Dad who wanted to order off the menu so we wandered down to the Butchers and he got the Butcher to cut him a hefty slab of rib eye must have weighed about a pound! Seriously my dad was eating long after mum and I had finished but he eventually did I was so proud and he was happily full!"

"Booked fairly last minute and got a table for 4. We ordered 2 x chicken burgers, 1 x steak and carbonara with garlic bread. Food was really nice to be fair! No option for peppercorn sauce BUT it’s an Italian so can’t be expected. Dessert we had brownies and fondant, really nice can’t be faulted. Didn’t catch our waitresses name, but she was blonde and pregnant so nice, really kind and welcoming to us. Good value for money, for a drink each; meal each (including steak) two sides and 4 desserts £150. Can’t fault it."

"Having been out for a long walk in the rain popped in here as we like to try independent coffee shops around Chelmsford instead of the usual Costa and Cafe Nero . Plenty of choice and a lovely greeting . I had a cappuccino with hazelnut, my husband Americano . Regular size in a great big mug and it was perfect . Decided to have a croissant as well and this was warmed up for me. Drinks were bought to the table . A lovely coffee shop and I’ll certainly return , not too pricey either . If you happen to be catching a train from the station there is also a screen giving the times of the trains."

"First of all check your juice. Those are not pips, they are simply worms. Happy, drunk of juice and dead but still worms : when we sent it back we were told it's because they keep oranges for two days before they juice them... Hm. Well we have never seen black larva worms in oranges but who knows? Food is okay, nothing special. We have a comparison to haggis from different restaurants and this one was just ok. Staff are friendly but they didn't do anything to compensate we had three worms swimming in our orange juice. We had poached eggs with haggis and breakfast hash skillet meal. It was all ok but that's it. We won't be coming back."

"slow service and amateur. my man got his coffee long before mine, after which I had to hunt. the eggs of my man came ice-cold and overcooked and waiting for a long time. was not just us - all very slow and coworkers of 3 seemed overwhelmed in a restaurant that was no more than 1/3 full"

"although the restaurant was not overcrowded, eating was delivered in the wrong order, our cots come at the same time as our main courses. the main course was very poor cod with Thai curry was cold and tasteless (an achievement to make a curry so bland! I ordered as a page, described as 'old grains', which turned out to be quinoa, why not say so on the menu? again it was cold and tasteless. the restaurant confirms itself as open to 10 o'clock, but until 9.15 the staff began to turn the air conditioning so that it was so cold we had to wake up our hunting, even if we had not finished our meal, turn off the lights and begin to clean adjacent tables and clean the floor of the kitchen area we sat near. overall the attitude was involuntary, and eating (compared to what I bought in the deli in the past was very bad. I wouldn't eat there again or recommend to others to do this."

"had a cup of tea from here gave me a lot of energy, but was a bit too sweet for my pleasure. admittedly I put ten sugars in myself, but that was not meant. when I went down the road and went out on the curb. tee on the floor, cup on the floor, strange laugh about me if I had a wet it had been a stubborn experience, but I like to think about me as a dazzling chappy. as my one once said: “No point crying over the Spilt tea,” my nan was autistic. but yes, I'm sorry to whisper on my nann, said: "I could speak for English" uh there I am jabbering again, apologise. I will continue my assessment. beautiful tee, beautiful service, great location. the load isn't the bordstein. would come back here, maybe I'll stay next time to drink my tee. Yes, I will. I'll stay here. I look forward to a cuppa soon. a lot of love."
"we have arrived between breakfast and lunch and can take a place in the lounge area next to the trough. I had soup in the garden and my wife had the cheese box. the food and service was very good throughout, we visited on Saturday and all the restaurants were packed so I would recommend before booking is advisable. the menu is on the expensive side, but it was worth it and we enjoyed it very much."

"Slow service , water not brought for table when requested , the pate was runny and very unappetising, table next to me had to send food back as cold and they had waited for over 45 mins for it to arrive, the place was not busy and there was plenty of staff so no idea why the service and quality of food was so bad , would not go again"

"that's my favorite café in bournemouth, all right. no other location has such a perfect balance of great eating and coffee, a versatile environment to work or relax, and wonderful employees. in the last three years I have spent many happy hours with friends here and countless more working on my undergraduate and master projects. I think it's nowhere better."

"the pret in nottingham has been here for many years. I have always worked in the city and have always found the food and drinks here to be very good. the personal is excellent and always friendly. I recently subscribed to the monthly Barista Decal at £25 a month, which is exceptionally worth. the only reason I don't give 5 stars it really needs a overhaul, as the place looks a little tired and the tables need to be cleaned better and more frequently in my opinion."

"I have dined many paintings in L’Eto in the last five years and always enjoyed the well presented, delicious eating, excellent coffee and good customer service. my visit today was extremely disappointing. I ordered the crab eggs benedict and expected a decent brunch. what arrived...was a little frit on a ova with a piece of pak choi. it covered about a quarter of the plate, had no bread and was the size of a starter. I complained to the waiter and manager, who could both see that I was not happy, but very little helped. they said they could give me a broth, but they would have to charge me extra for it. I refused to do this because the meal costs £15, represented bad value for money and I felt that this was an insult for customers, so I returned the court. I am very disappointed that a caffe that I regularly visited has changed its menu and has changed to one that is clearly developed to win, but that does not care about its customers and does not offer any value for money. I do not think that a caffe can afford to treat its customers on this way, especially now when the cost of living rises and customers will be more selective about where they are going to come."
