"We were staying at the Dorchester and Open Table found this restaurant near us. The reviews were mixed but seemed to be somewhat okay and so we booked a table. An unfortunate choice. The food here is mediocre at best. I had the steak frites and my husband had the burger. Both were edible but neither was outstanding in any way. We ordered a £30 bottle of wine but were told they were out of that particular wine, so we just ordered wine by the glass. When we went to pay the bill we saw they didn’t take the £30 wine off the bill. When we brought it to their attention, they removed it but no apologies were given. Overall, the food was okay but not great or even good. Our server was inconsistent. She was quick to take our orders and was personable but kind of a basket case. She immediately assumed we were staying in the attached hotel (a Marriott) and assured us we could bring any leftover wine to our room. She failed to bring water while we choked on our bread, never gave us salt and pepper (we had to get it from another table) and didn’t remove the £30 wine charge on our bill until we asked. If we could go back to Podium, with a better server and at no cost, we would pass. There are so many excellent restaurants in London, there is no reason to go to such a below average place."

"Amazing food! They had a good range of options on the menu. I think there'd be something to suit everyone. The prices were pretty good. The only downside was that it didn't seem as clean as I would like. The table was a little sticky and the knives and forks weren't clean but I am very picky about cleanliness. We went around 1 and it didn't seem too busy but the food took around half an hour to come. It was definitely worth waiting for! Service: Dine in"

"After attending a comedy show at Kindred, we were pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The entertainment was fantastic, the atmosphere was perfect, and we were impressed by the quality of the food and drinks. The wait staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, earning a perfect 10 out of 10 for their service."

"The staff at this restaurant are not only lovely, but the food is also fresh and delicious at a reasonable price. The atmosphere is pleasant, with delightful decor and generously sized portions for the savory dishes. The desserts, on the other hand, are not just generous, but absolutely massive. The options and sauces for the giant waffle, huge crepes, and gargantuan pancakes are incredibly delicious. I can't think of any criticisms to share, as my experience was thoroughly satisfying. I highly recommend visiting this establishment."

"Fantastic bagels !! Both my husband and I had one, mine was gluten free and he had a regular one and they were both amazing!! Also, If you have coeliac this place is just a dream. The server was extremely thorough in avoiding any cross contamination what so ever , changed all the chopping boards for fresh ones and layered several sheets of new paper on anything my gluten free bagel might touch. All fillings were fresh and had not touched any of the regular bagels or surfaces. As someone with Coeliac you get used to having little to no GF options so to have the variety of fillings available here without the anxiety of being glutoned is just fantastic. The fact the bagels actually taste so good too makes it a win win win for me. My husband who ordered a regular bagel was also super impressed and happy. Thank you."

"One specific Staff member was rude from the get go, and continued to be rude at the till, and we were refused to speak with the manager about a complaint we had, when querying the drastic inflation of price the girl in the till said ‘no that’s not been the price’ then she reviewed the previous price and said ‘oh that’s right’ but never apologised for the telling off my mum received and convinced her she was wrong, was never offered a receipt And don’t bother to reply with a snarky reply as to why that behaviour is appropriate, we can see from your replies that you don’t give a toss for reviews when really you should take it on board and fix the attitudes"

"We used to frequent this pub often in the past, but heard that it had changed ownership, so we decided to meet our friends here. We were excited to catch up with friends we hadn't seen in a while. However, when we arrived, my husband inquired about their ale selection and was informed they only had Harveys with no other options. The server who brought our drinks had dirty fingernails, which was off-putting. When it came time to order food, one of our friends asked about a Christmas menu and was told it needed to be pre-ordered, as stated on their website. Despite our frequent visits in the past, we had not checked the website. The food was tasty, but the service was lacking. We had to request drinks and were not asked about our meals once they arrived. At 9:40, a lady approached us with the bill and informed us they were closing soon. When we asked for another drink, we were denied. My husband requested to remove the service charge, which caused some tension with the lady taking payment. She questioned why he wouldn't pay it, stating that everyone charges it, which we found rude. Overall, the poor service has discouraged us from returning or recommending the pub to others, despite the delicious food. It's disappointing, as we had hoped the new management would focus on attracting and retaining customers."

"I had never been to this restaurant before and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the salmon cream cheese bagel, while my friend ordered a breakfast bagel. We were both impressed by the quality of the bagels and will definitely return to this restaurant when we are in Wembley next. Thumbs up from us!"

"We took a group of 37 students from the United States to eat here. It was prearranged by our tour company; and it was one of the last meals we ate on our long vacation. We had grown accustomed to average to bland food on this trip. But this meal was very tasty, hot, and homemade (clearly not a boxed kit). The service was amazing (which isn’t always the case with large groups, additionally coming from the States where wait staff’s try hard because their tips are dependent on it). The animatronic Elephant in the courtyard was a big hit with teenagers and adults and chaperones equally. It was a great experience and good food served by good people."

"It's a beautiful place to enjoy an excellent evening, whether you're going to have a coffee, or if you're looking for a good meal or you want to have a cocktail or a beer. Much of its charm lies in the setting and theme of the establishment based on French art. Both the interior and the terrace will make you feel as if you were in the 1920s Paris. Even the bathrooms are eye-catching and styled. All employees are educated and helpful. Although we were surprised that the ticket included the tip, we cannot complain about the treatment received. As soon as the food, the menu is varied enough to choose between several options and find something that draws your attention. The dishes are abundant and are cooked and tastefully presented. The price of the dishes given their location and quality has seemed correct. It is above other establishments that are in the area, but without being exaggerated. As a detail and if you like music it is worth mentioning that there are jazz concerts some Sundays, something that is definitely worth it."

"My son and I visited this restaurant on Christmas day. The set menu included three courses and a glass of wine or champagne. Knowing we couldn't eat that much, we decided to skip the starter. Our waiter kindly spoke with the manager, who offered us an extra glass of wine instead. This exceeded our expectations. I ordered the turkey, which was perfectly portioned, tender, and delicious. My son got the steak and claimed it was the best he had ever eaten. The dessert was also excellent. The service was exceptional, and all the staff were very friendly. It was a great find for Christmas day. Congratulations to the team at this restaurant."

"Went in for breakfast after having a positive experience the day before. Pancakes were stale around the edges, rolls we’re starting to go hard, and the ‘American Melt’ is just a bacon roll with cheese we were expecting something a little more interesting. A thing to note, if you order food as a large group it doesn’t all come out at the same time, 2 people at our table were finished before the last 2 got their meal. Staff were not very welcoming and we didn’t even get a ‘thank you’ when leaving a tip in the jar, which they definitely saw. Overall very disappointing after having such a lovely breakfast the day before. Don’t think I’ll be back as clearly there is no consistency."

"These are the kindest people in cafes that I know, all Algerian(which is great) and all staff are fluent in French, Algerian Arabic and English. Amazing! Good for polyglots!The coffee is good and at a reasonable price, the cakes, panini, crepes and ice creams are all delicious! Always served with a smile! Good Covid 19 measures too.You can easily chat away with friends inside or sit near the open doors and watch the world go by! Sometimes you can stay awhile and work there. The guys never mind.I’ve gone there for years and it gets better all the time! Merci miles fois mes Amis! Maggie"

"My partner and I were looking for a change of breakfast venue. We always go to The Antiquary in St Stephen Street as we love it. No one has a patch on it yet. So we headed to The Piece Box. On entering we were happy to see there were hand sanitizers and given a seat very quickly. We sat at the door, but there was a bit of a breeze everytime it opened, but this was to be expected. We just didn't want to take up a table for four.Orders were taken quickly. I ordered the full breakfast and my partner ordered pancakes and bacon with maple syrup. Tea and coffee also.The place started filling up very quickly mostly with people under 40 or maybe 30. So we got there in a good time.As we waited on our food I just sat back and observed. I noticed one of the waitresses take a clean teaspoon to accompany the coffee she was going to give out, and she dropped the spoon on the floor and without any hesitation she threw it in the sink in the kitchen and got a clean one. This was nice to see. Which wasn't nice to see was the cook running around like a demented chicken trying to probably juggle more than he can chew. This was stressful to watch and not feeling a relaxing atmosphere at all.Breakfast came. My partners was fine. Mines was disappointing. The plate didn't feel all that warm, my bacon was cold and chewy, like eating an old slipper. The chipolata sausages not to my liking, but the worst was the mushrooms! They were awful awful!! They were like eating earth, bad earth. I said to my partner you can have them as he loves mushrooms and would eat anything but he could not eat them. We were thinking they were either out a tin or boiled and as dark as a miners pit. Best bit of the breakfast was the poached egg. Only got one piece of toast with butter that was to my liking. I was also given a choice of black pudding or haggis...for £10.50 I'd expect both. My local pub does an amazing breakfast for £8.50, good quality ingredients and top up coffee. Really disappointed with the Piece Box effort. Service was good, waitresses polite, stuck to all the COVID rules, but I won't return. I like a nice hot breakfast."

"Used to be the best burgers in Bristol but in the past year the quality has drastically decreased along with prices getting higher. The jalapeno cheese fries were the attraction but although it's now £7.50 for a sharer portion (same size as the regular portion a year ago) the amount of jalapenos you get is pitiful. The biggest disappointment is the signature cheese sauce which is now like a split cheese flavoured roux, which tastes like it contains very little actual cheese and therefore lacks any melted gooiness and tastes terrible. Have complained about this before but no response so it must be that they've changed their recipes in response to rising costs but the quality of the product suffers."

"Ordered for delivery and let me tell you something: I don't think I've eaten such a good and original kebab in a long time. First thing you see it's branding on all packaging they provide, nice touch and stands out from other places, but what important food was so good. Hummus was great, quite oily with good texture and served with peanut pesto but really kebab was what stolen the show for me. So tasty, full of flavours, original taste, fresh ingredients and sauces, would like to know what they are. It's not very spicy but in this case I liked it even more. Give them a go if you are looking for a change from your normal boring kebab place."

"We drove through Haddington and stopped off to have a walk around. It’s a lovely market town. We asked for a recommendation for a pub lunch and were told to give The Green a try. We were not disappointed..so thanks again to the lady who gave us the tip! My partner had the fish and chips and said it was amazing. I had the Cajun chicken loaded fries. So delicious, good portions. They had a great selection of cocktails so I gave the Passion Fruit Martini a go. So good! Staff were so helpful and friendly, service was quick and all COVID precautions were taken. We even got some cake shakes to go as recommended by the bar staff to enjoy on our walk by the river. Total indulgence! Anytime we are back in East Lothian we will definitely stop by The Green!"

"I was completely shocked by the rude staff at this restaurant. They showed little respect to each other, let alone to me, a paying customer. Each staff member seemed overwhelmed and unfriendly. When I asked for a portion of fish balls (which was listed on the menu above the counter), I was told there were no portions and to just decide what I wanted. I was then directed to another staff member at the kiosk, who did not engage with me and instead asked her colleague, "Who's this for?" when referring to my order of fish balls. The lady next to me requested a selection of pastries, explaining that she was having friends over and would like a variety. The server responded rudely, demanding to know exactly how many pastries she wanted. The customer, clearly taken aback by the abrupt response, said that she only needed four. The server then remarked that four was not a selection. I was appalled by the lack of communication skills and customer service exhibited by the staff. It is unfortunate that the staff seem friendly to "regulars," as my family frequents this restaurant often, but as a first-time customer, I experienced their true attitude. Needless to say, neither I nor my family will be returning to a place with such unnecessarily rude staff."
