"Starting with the table it’s not cleaning properly felt sticky when we sat. The service is bad and unprofessional, we stayed over 25 minutes no one even approached us to ask. Later when the food started arriving the waiter would just place the order and disappear not ask if we need anything or how was the food. Sushi arrived and we had to ask for soy sauce 4 times to get it. Fried chicken was terrible there was barley any chicken inside the batter and if there was it would be dry and over cooked. The Beef to Abaya was very dry and tasted more like lamb. The menu California had crab meat but it had a poot quality crab stick. I wouldn’t recommend the restaurant."

"As usual the food was of a very high standard but due to the fact that no manager was available and our regular waitress was also not there, service was not as good as it usually is. There were two comi waiters who tried very hard, were most polite and did their utmost to serve in a proper way. It was just a pity that they had not received the training that the regular staff seem to have. We and our friends will, of course, go again and hope that by next time there will be some more experienced waiting staff available to serve."

"my first visit here today, for Sunday dinner. a very pleasant experience overall. beautiful eating, wonderful ambiente and first-class staff. very recommended, but early booking, as it is very busy! olivia, the superior, is in her job with a fantastic feeling of humor, but not intrusive. her weight in gold, my opinion will return."

"I absolutely love this restaurant. It's easy to miss as it is located across from the car park entrance to the Beacon Hotel, above the Subway. This place is fantastic for vegetarians."

"I visited as part of a private party and we had booked the private dining room in the cellar. this is a beautiful, intimate room with a full view of all the wee in the storage. we were even able to play our own music, and there is a summer to call on their waiter after need. there was a three course set menu that contained some really interesting dishes. eating was incredibly tasty, but was drained by sloppy mistakes. my starter of a crab and shrimp-open raviolio was lukewarm, on cold beaten and contained hard mush. my main course of stuffed rabbit was undercooked. such a scandal, because here is a talented cook. as expected was the weeping epic and the service was excellent. I come back to work through a few bottles!"

"Myself and my fiancé went for a Valentines meal together, we have been to the Arbor many times and we always find it amazing, the food is delicious, fresh, homely yet modern, the menu is brilliant, well put together with lots of different wine options to choose from. The staff are attentive and make sure that you get your food and drinks in a timely manner, the price is incredible too, we are always surprised at how small the bill is. One particular member of staff, Aga, is absolutely fantastic, she always ensures that you are truly looked after. Each visit has been 5 star. Highly recommended."

"Limited lunch menu as it’s mainly pizzas which are just too much for me at lunchtime. Opted for the open sandwich which was fine but needed salt. No one came to check back I didn’t want to leave my belongings by going up to the counter to ask for any. Portion size of open sandwich was small for £7. Too much balsamic vinegar on it too when you rested your cutlery on the plate it got covered in sticky balsamic. Service was a bit hit miss due to it being busy maybe not enough staff working. Wouldn’t rush back."

"I have booked a table with flame and fire for a Valentine's Day dinner. eating was excellent steak tender, juicy and of very high quality. the wee was also very good (without breaking the bank) and the waiters were attentive, without being intrusive. the back of the restaurant is a little phoenix nights, but that has only added to the fun and laugh of the evening! overall, a beautiful foundation and one I will definitely come back."

"This is our 3rd visit to the Bull. This time we were disappointed. The food was just OK rather than the usual excellent. Some dishes were only warm. It was Valentines so maybe too many meals required quickly? Service also not is normal. This will not stop us coming again, but hopefully we will have an improved experience next time."

"This restaurant in Colchester is definitely the best we have tried. We had an amazing meal there last night. This was our first visit since the refurbishment and we were impressed with the new dishes on the menu. The staff and atmosphere were fantastic. There are plenty of vegetarian options available and we highly recommend trying them. The service, food, and atmosphere all receive a top score of 5. Some recommended dishes include Tempura Asparagus, Roast Duck, and North Hill Noodles. Vegetarian dishes are clearly labeled on the menu. Overall, this restaurant is well worth a visit for a delicious dinner costing around £30-40 per person."

"Firstly, the venue is fantastic. We often visit for brunch, but this was our first time dining in the evening. The setting next to the boating lake is lovely, and we were seated right by the window. The food was outstanding, showing a clear influence from Skye. The grilled bread with garlic, balsamic, and olive oil was exceptional, along with the deep-fried sage leaves. The hollandaise sauce on my asparagus was buttery, creamy, and truly fantastic. The pork chop was cooked to perfection. Although the wine list was short, it covered most options well. With the set price and an Aperol spritz enjoyed outside in the sun before dinner, it was great value for money. We will definitely be returning."

"I’ve popped into this pub a few times and finally made time for a Sunday roast with my friends, and I’m so glad we did! The nut roast went down a treat, the chicken was very tender, the potatoes crispy (and the cauliflower cheese exceptional). Needless to say we’ll be back maybe for Burger Thursday. Staff were friendly and incredibly welcoming. And made sure the nut roast was gf for my partner. Thank you!"

"today my daughter and I first visited bonbon for a brunch. the waitress, larissa was so sweet and welcoming. I can be quite fussy and she knew the menu inside and outside and made some great recommendations that proved to be perfect for us. nothing was too much annoyed. eating was absolutely beautiful. I had this banana bread sandwich, slightly grilled with fresh berries and mascarpone and my daughter had a ei and speck bagle. it was an absolute joy. our dog was made very welcome and Covid rules were thoroughly present, but not intrusive in anyway. it all came on time, and small things like the order to take and let us pay, all were done in a time-efficient way that I appreciated. a perfect visit."

"Stumbled upon Belvedere walking in Holland Park and decided to check it out. What a beautiful restaurant! The staff were knowledgeable not only about the menu, but the whole story of the place. As it turns out, the building dates back to the 17th century and was once a ballroom. The restaurant’s been there for a while, but changed owners recently and has undergone full transformation. New dining rooms are absolutely stunning, an homage to the venue’s history, beautifully lit and full of greenery which creates an organic bond between the outside and inside. I’m interior design aficionado myself, visiting unique venues all over the world and I’m usually quite picky. Here I could not fault a single thing atmosphere-wise. The food looks a bit simple, but ingredients are top notch and the flavours were on point. Highly recommend for a romantic date or special occasion!"

"The food and portions were great hence why I picked it in the first place so I cant fault that..HOWEVER the service was extremely slow and lacked any urgency or awareness of the customers need They took down our food order and yet to ask what drink we wanted. I believe the hostess was bringing us the drink menu or even offer some water but that never came until I had to get someone elses attention. Finally managed to get some water but yet received the main drinks At the end of the 3 course meal I asked for the bill and again took a while. Overall food great but poor service"

"Excellent quality food. It will take a few visits to work out the optimum number to order 2 or 3 small plates or 1 and 1 large etc) Price will influence final combo. We had two small and one large. One small plate was ribeye with thrice cooked chips. Delicious. Great value. The other small plate was mackerel scampi which at £10.50 for 6 pieces was a bit on the pricey side and looked small even on a small plate! Needs salad or vegetable. My large plate was a burger absolutely delicious. Just one minor point: the prices on menu were not clear there was a ‘dot’ in the middle of the zero so the £10.50 scampi looked like it was costing me £18.50 ! Which wouldn’t have been good value and at a tenner it was top end for the portion size. Great food though definitely go again."

"The restaurant offers a spacious and friendly atmosphere and the food is generally good, except for the overpriced and bland Miso Caesar salad. Despite being acceptable on its own, it lacked flavor and ingredients for its high price of £15.70. Some diners suggested it would be better as a starter or side dish, rather than a main course. Overall, a great dining experience except for this dish."

"We were a little disappointed in the menu offered. Having looked on line at the sample menu the actual menu offerings were more limited and not quite in the same standard. There was nothing wrong with the food service, it was perfectly acceptable but not quite what the on line sample menu suggested. Having visited the restaurant before, albeit a while ago, it seemed that things had been down graded both in terms of food and surroundings."

"I dined at Bills in Holborn last night with two friends. The pros: the chicken dumplings were nice, a good portion size, and very tasty. Our waitress for most of the night was very friendly. However, the negative was that we didn't have the same waitress all night, we ended up with about 4 different servers and none of them seemed to know where we were in our meal. For dessert, I had the lemon balm sorbet, which was nice when it wasn't frozen in the middle. My friend ordered a cup of tea for £2.50, but what came was a huge porcelain pot that was only one third filled with hot water and a tea bag that was hardly filled. When my friend addressed this issue to the waitress, she didn't really understand the problem and although she offered to add more tea bags, it took so long that my friend no longer wanted it. It was a Tuesday evening and not very busy, yet sometimes we couldn't find any wait staff. Despite not drinking the weak tea and sending it back, it was still included on the bill and we had to ask for it to be removed, which I think should have been automatic. Overall, it was disappointing as I usually enjoy dining at Bills, but this experience at the Holborn branch was my first and last."
