"Yesterday, my family and I visited The Old Friar for Sunday dinner to celebrate Mother's and Father's Day. When we arrived, the young host who greeted us seemed unaware of our reservation for 7. We were seated next to a window covered with numerous flies, which made us uncomfortable. Despite politely asking to be moved, we were told there was nothing they could do about the flies. Our food took three attempts to get right, and my son's burger arrived without the cheese and speck we had ordered. When we mentioned this to the waiter, a red-haired lady came over and accused us of lying. This confrontation was embarrassing and upsetting, especially for my son. The service was incredibly poor, and we felt humiliated throughout our meal. We will not be returning to The Old Friar, as our experience was marred by rude and insulting service. The only positive aspect was that the food was decent, though overpriced. I urge others to avoid this restaurant due to the terrible service and lack of professionalism."

"Had a nice evening albeit food overall was disappointing. The interior also doesn’t match up now to the outside space, more can be made of things potentially lovely pub. You often find food quality is compromised with festive menus and it becomes more like mass catering so lacked a bit of the quality and finesse of when I have visited previously. Brie bites looked like they were out of a party food box and most of the cheese was already oozing out and therefore stuck to the plate. Mains were pretty good but desserts disappointing, watery custard and a slice of Yule log thinner than a slice of bread. However overall good value and friendly service."

"There were two of us for dinner. We ordered a main and a starter as the two mains, and had specified this to the waiter. Then the starter came 10 minutes later by itself. I told the waiter and he went off to check and didn’t come back. I then had to resay it to the waiter who just went silent as they didn’t know what to do. I asked them to take it back and bring it with the main course I ordered as part of the overall meal. The starter was cold when it came with the main; I had expected a new starter would be done given the issue. The bill had then overcharged for an item. I won’t be revisiting this restaurant given the service was very poor from the three different 3 I dealt with"

"Bad service the whole way through. I can see that the restaurant has told other reviewers that they have checked their CCTV . I would love for you to check the CCTV and see what we saw! I am only posting this as your restaurant contacted OpenTable to state we were no shows. Unfortunately we did show. How did you miss us in a practically empty restaurant? We had to chase for water, napkins, plates, condiments etc. Took a napkin from the empty table next to us eventually. 5 mins later a femal staff member walked over and dumped about 10 napkins on our table and walked away. Aggressive much! The quickest part was getting the bill. My partner was served a cocktail that was approximately 1 sip and it was gone as the Martini glass resembled something from a doll 's house play set. Staff openly talking about us in ear shot huff, puff, what do they want , WHAT 'S WRONG yelled from the bar when we requested another drink from a waitress. Food... Garlic bread? Covered in rosemary, couldn 't find/see/taste garlic. Burger bun a brick, chips cooked on the outside not the middle and my chicken was so dry it peeled and was like string. Checked the review site before we went and saw 4.3 so thought this will be great. As meal became worse and worse we read the comments in the reviews. Filter anything from the last 4-6 months and it 's ALL bad. I am assuming I am too going to be called malicious as a previous review was and I see they had a real similar experience to us. No wonder it was practically empty at 9pm on a sat night. We won 't be going back. Refused to pay service which they after a fashion fianlly broken hearted it seemed accepted but we 're so disappointed. The venue looks beautiful, menu looks great and there were 2 staff members out if the team of 6 or so who we saw, who when they appeared were not particulary helpful but the whole experience was shocking. £80+ for 2 people, 2 mains a sharer starter, 4 drinks and 2 sides for what we got in hindsight unacceptable I should have argued for most of the food to be removed from the bill. Food and anbienc should be renamed Food and Ambulace. The manager sists there watching his CCTV and the owner is raking it in from unsuspecting guests and no doubt pays his staff a pittance so thats why they and the unqualified chef act like this .They need to learn manners. Imagine this lot on a cookery show each week as they would all be evicted on the first eviction date or Lord Sugar would fire the whole lot and ask for a new set of customers.Why are people so dishonest as its theft of you hard earned cash.Dispicable."

"The restaurant offers a wide variety of beer and a selection of different burgers with various sides. The burgers are a bit expensive but are freshly made and of good quality. There is plenty of seating and space for enjoying a meal or just stopping in for a beer. Definitely worth a visit! They also have multiple locations in London if you're not in the area. Update: Enjoyed another delicious burger and there is an excellent selection of beers. The only downside was that the chips were a bit average."

"Very good food. The Best of Menue is really awesome. We enjoyed our last visit to the current rooms of the cleanse. Perfect service, best cuisine, interesting rare wines from the basement and very nice ambience. Hopefully there will be the cleanse or better the successor soon. At the next Berlin stay we will miss the cleanse very much."

"This restaurant is absolutely incredible! I took my friend here for his birthday tonight and we were greeted by lovely servers who truly prioritize their customers. I cannot recommend this place enough. The food is delicious, as you can see just from the photos. Thank you Red's True Barbecue for a fantastic dining experience!"

"We waited for more than two hours for our food at the restaurant. We called three times and received different information each time. We were then informed over 25 minutes ago that the driver was on his way to deliver our food, even though the restaurant is only a 10-minute drive from our location."

"central location on the seventh floor of the renaissance, with terrace offering a wonderful view of the cathedral. of course in the evening on the terrace, despite the gas mushrooms .... It's really cold. pizzas are good but normal. service young and absolutely not professional. very high prices especially for drinks. calculated that for a pizza and a drink you will definitely spend over the €... we in have spent euro. once in a while you can go ... more for the location than for other. even if I personally think I don't come back. ah. I forgot ... to climb up to the top floor take the elevator off positioned on the right side. Those inside are very crowded and difficult to take at certain times."

"After booking this on the 18/8/2022 for 4 people you asked for special requests , I specifically asked for the table at the window as it was a special birthday , when I arrived we got put so from the window I was in shock ! I never mentioned anything on our arrival due to a couple already been seated after us ,I checked my emails as to look if I have been previously told that this request was not available but I did not , it completely ruined the expectations of our experience , this is only positive feedback as if you can’t make requests don’t ask"

"It was as if the owner googled Mexican stereotypes and decided to place it as a tex mex place. Sombreros everywhere, the mascots on the kids meals dressed in stereotypes. It’s pretty offensive. The kids meal says ‘learn Mexican’ as if Mexican is a language? That’s news to me. Also tex mex food shouldn’t be this dry. The soft shell taco was hard. A SOFT SHELL FLOUR TACO the Mexican rice was rice but not Tex Mex at all. Service was slow like super slow and I can’t begin to understand why. Also jambalaya isn’t Tex Mex. I can excuse bad food but not the blatant disregard for culture."

"Absolutely brilliant place! Had breakfast and got 2 for £10 a full English and 3 pancakes. I was destroyed afterwards but the food was delicious!! We were served by Kay who was lovely and even brought out free bacon milkshakes for us to try which were surprisingly delicious. We also got to have freshly squeezed orange juice from their new juicer. Would definitely come back."

"Upmarket Burgers! Not a bad thing, in fact a fantastic thing. Fancy a good burger but don't want to break the bank? Here's the place. You won't be looking at a £6 burger and chips but you'll hardly need three courses. My partner and I shared two burgers, a single large fries and a milkshake in order to not be skinned alive on apprentice wages however we were very surprised when we ended up with two full people and a couple chips spare! The food was fantastic and very reasonable portions even considering the price, the shakes may seem pricey however whem it turns up in a glass AND a mixer half full to top it up you can't be mad."

"The food at this restaurant is delicious and the portions of Sunday roast are huge, all at reasonable prices. The front parking was a bit cramped, but there are some easily accessible spaces in the additional parking area. There is a large children's play area that kept the kids entertained while waiting for their meal. The service was also excellent. The only downside is that the venue itself feels a bit worn and run down, especially the bar area. Overall, I would give the food a rating of 5 out of 5."

"Overall just a bit awkward. Taco starter lovely. The tattie scone nachos a tad overpriced for what it is but tasted alright. Service a tad slow to get going and not much of an ambiance. I feel the drinks and food here are a good few pounds more expensive than they should be and it’s probably down to location. Pork steak thing came in a bowl with a normal knife making it very difficult to get at and the fajitas were bits of bland, grilled chicken with no hint of seasoning or flavour. This dish too is a bit difficult to assemble given it was all served on one plate. The four slivers of pepper were far from enough. £17 for a cocktail and a 175ml glass of wine, whilst advertised and priced correctly on the menu, is kinda taking the mick in my opinion. We popped in on a different day for just a drink and £4.99 for a small can of cider also falls into that category. Doubt we’ll be rushing back when we inevitably return to Oban . They’ll likely not miss us given it’s usually busy, so they obviously are confident in what they offer and their prices."

"Our first visit to this restaurant was based on recommendations, as we were hoping to find a good alternative to Bodeans in London. We ordered the candy bacon and mac n cheese balls for our starter, but our mains arrived first. After waiting five minutes, we asked about our starters and they were brought out shortly after. Despite the mix-up, the food was very tasty. However, our mains were a bit hit and miss. My double bacon cheeseburger patties were dry and the bun was also dry, which was disappointing. My partner enjoyed his donut burger, although he did notice that something seemed burnt. The rest of the meal was alright and the variety of sauces was impressive. We plan on returning to try the meat trays and we were happy with the compensation offered by the staff, who were excellent. It's a shame that our first visit wasn't perfect, but we hope that our next visit will be better. We will update our review accordingly."
