"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."

"My husband and I visited Zizzi in Manchester Piccadilly last night. The food was beautiful and can't be faulted but the staff service was awful! The waitress that attended us didn't know how to use her POS system and walked away from the table several times to ask her manager for support. When our food came out, the servers placed the food on the table and rushed away, did not ask if we needed any condiments; salt, pepper, sauce etc. Did not offer parmesan on the pasta and did not notice that my drink was empty The speed they walked away I could ask for a drink. I spent most of my meal trying to catch the eye of someone to order another drink but didn't get one until after I'd finished. I did complain about this, and the server kindly gave me a free diet coke. The service did not improve beyond this though. When our desserts came, there was no cutlery on our table to eat with, the waiter disappeared for several minutes to get cutlery and we were given teaspoons to eat them with my husband ordered the brownie Pizzette, good luck eating that with a teaspoon. I support the service industry wholeheartedly and usually tip 25% but I did not tip last night. The food was great hence why giving three stars, maybe in future we'll just order through a delivery service instead."

"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"

"Late lunch on a very cold day in Winchester. So silly cold today that they had radiators to help customers. Asked for one to be moved closer... no problem! Anyway, as usual the food was excellent, the service nicely attentive, and the food... excellent! Friendly staff, and in the cold they were dressed in some nicely warm clothing. Honestly though, a nice place for a relaxed pizza and a couple of glasses of wine. Highly recommended!"

"Food was nice but overpriced for what it was. Not much service. Had to keep getting waiters attention for them to clear plates etc then when I asked to give a tip based on my experience rather than an added overpriced service charge I was told I could only pay the full service charge or nothing. When I said I wouldn’t pay one the manager was quick to come over and say I could pay a tip of my choice."

"not their traditional eier benny, but a welcome alternative. the court consists of short nativity served on a large homemade crumb, with a fried egg, hollandaise and crispy wobble. wise, the short nativity and crumble are generous, but I could do with another egg. the crumb was amazing and added an interesting fluffy and ventilated texture to the court. the hollandaise was satisfactorily rich and lemony to balance it. the egg, perfectly soft posing. the short rib was slightly underwhelming - it would have tasty and sticky or grilled to add some taste and texture, but alas, it tasted like pot roast instead of short rib."

"Staff were very attentive and checked on us regularly throughout the meal asking if we needed more drinks etc. the food is amazing, we ordered a variety of dishes to share between the 4 of us so that we could sample as much as possible. The squid portion was generous and tasted delicious and the bang bang shrimp were also really good. We had the bulgogi beef skewers and aubergine skewers both were tasty but the beef ones were very flavoursome and my favourite dish of all. The desserts are also really tasty passion fruit cheesecake was deconstructed and has a hidden layer of passion fruit sauce underneath to add extra zing. The only fault would be the cookie dough would have benefitted from more ice cream as it was a little sickly after a while."

"We came across this restaurant while searching for a place to have dinner before heading back to our hotel. We decided to have a bottle of red wine and two glasses, but had to wait 20 minutes before we could order our food. We ordered two classic burgers with fries, which were delicious. However, we felt that the portion size was a bit small for the price of £18. The service was not great, especially considering the 12.5% service charge added to the bill. I believe this charge should be based on the quality of service provided by the staff. Despite these issues, we will likely return because the food was wonderful, but the service could use improvement."

"The food is pretty good. We had the buttermilk chicken burger and the chicken and waffles. The chicken and waffles was two wedges of waffles and two chicken breasts. Not a massive amount of food, but it was tasty. The ranch sauce is not perfectly authentic, but comes close. The food is all a la carte. Fries don't come with anything. We did order the truffle fries. They were alright. The cheese seemed a bit cheap on top and there was no parmesan. So be prepared for that. Drinks seem pricey, so we just had a coke zero. Music was good. And the rooftop setting at Westgate is always nice. Parking will be expensive if you park there."

"Service is so bad here, on two occasions I had to get up from my table and go over to the huddle of waiters to ask for something. I asked for the bill 3 times then we sat at the bar after for drinks but eventually left after 15 mins as the bar tenders were to busy to take our order due to the backlog of drinks they were making. The food was not very good. I have attached photos of what we ordered and what we ate of it. The chicken was greasy and completely not in proportion with the waffles. The lamb fries where awful the toppings on it were just to much and didn't go together. The chicken was greasy. Do not go here"

"Worst value for money ever… It just seemed to be the right place for a special occasion dinner with my partner, after Prom 74 at The Royal Albert Hall. We went for the pre-set menu, 2 courses: starter main. Everything was pricey, but we were prepared to it, after all a brilliant location and a charming atmosphere come at a price… Yes, indeed, but not at that rip-off price! Pea soup, too green to be “traditional” and/or “natural” with a quenelle of white foam that I suppose is what they call “modern twist”. My partner ordered a so called “risotto” and let me say, as Italian, when I saw it, I had half a shock … My God what was that? Over-cooked/melted rice in a primordial soup… I couldn’t decide between laughing or crying. I was really pleased having ordered my 7 cm2 of pan-fried Haddock – served, again, with previously mentioned “twist”. What about the wine? Decent, indecently priced though: 30 pounds for 2 glasses… Definitely disappointing place. The worst value for money ever paid so far. And they even charge 15% for service… Never again."

"I met up with a friend for dinner and drinks at a restaurant she chose for its American food and theme. The entrance is located on the corner of Club Row and Bethnal Green Road. When you walk in past the curtained entrance, you are greeted by a reception desk and a DJ stand playing hip hop music, setting the mood. I was seated at my table while waiting for my friend to arrive. I ordered a mocktail strawberry Daiquiri and a lemonade, and the waitress was friendly. Once my friend arrived, she ordered a Gin and Tonic. The menu was simple, just one page. I ordered the cheeseburger dumplings, Cheesy Truffle fries, and The Mac Daddy burger, while my friend ordered the Mac balls and chicken and waffles. The food was flavorful and delicious. The Cheesy Truffle fries were unexpectedly delicious, earning a rating of 4/5. The Cheeseburger dumplings were rated 3.5/5 and The Mac Daddy burger got a 4/5. My friend rated her Mac balls at 3.5/5 and the chicken and waffles at 4/5. If you're looking for a taste of American NYC-style food and atmosphere in Shoreditch, I recommend stopping by this restaurant. It's worth a visit."

"Wow!! The food was AMAZING. This place would have gotten 5 stars if the service didn't take SO long. It took long to get seated then we had to sit with another party at the same table. Our food took FOREVER to come out but it was surely worth the wait. Best chicken waffles I've had by far!! I eat chicken waffles in each city I visit and I did not expect London to have the best out of all the places in the USA I've been to. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and the portion was good. I just wish that there we a full waffle instead of a half because then I was left with a whole chicken breast and nomore waffles since each chicken breast was so much larger than each waffle. The truffle cheese fries were BOMB I could eat them all day! Seasoned perfectly once again. My husband said this his chicken sandwich was perfect. The pricing wasn't bad either! I think it came up to almost $50 for 2. Overall, this restaurant is mouthwatering good! I can still remember all the flavors so vividly. I will definitely come back if I'm ever in London again!"

"One of the servers couldn't be bothered to work, big thank you for the others that were super nice. Bar staff is a joke, they made an Old Fashioned with coffee liqueur... Please, if you don't have the right ingredients or don't know how to make a cocktail just let the customer know. Food was good, restaurant was noisy as usual, Will visit again but will have a beer or tap water to make it simpler for bar staff."

"Ed was out waiter for the evening, and I would just like to say that this very kind and polite young man made our evening magical. Ed was faultless throughout our experience here at Zizzi’s, given our experience we received we will definitely be coming back to see Ed again in the future."

"We were in London for almost 2 weeks and got takeout or dine in several times because this restaurant was 1) super tasty; 2) had great service; and, most importantly, 3) a terrific allergy program with fantastic gluten free food. The first question you get when you walk in is do you have any allergies? If so, they send you their allergy manager, who explains how to filter their online menu and order appropriately. We went to several of this chain in the UK and they were all like this! Each time I did takeout, the food was ready either right when I showed up or shortly thereafter. It was always hot and good and I was helped right away. Highly recommend!"
"Some days ago, my mother and I dined at Zizzi’s to celebrate her recent career progression. We arrived without prior booking at 5:50pm on a Monday evening, at which point it was quiet and cavernous, with a choice of seating. We ordered the mozzarella garlic bread and fried calamari with aioli, drizzled with lemon for starters, to share. They both arrived promptly and were flavoursome without compromising quantity. Not only, was the mozzarella garlic bread simultaneously crisp yet fluffy, oily and salty, and heated to a pleasant degree. But also, the fried calamari was battered aptly, without sacrificing the quantity of the calamari. Soon after, we were met with our own generous dish of prawn linguini, topped with rocket. The linguini was twirled into a neat formation, with a mix of textures. While, the the tomato sauce was smooth and subtly rich, ample for the multiple hot linguini strips, the shaved courgette added a fine crunch, and the prawns constituted to a meaty density. However, within an hour, the restaurant was almost full, with the multitude of loudening conversations making it difficult to hear. Therefore, I would recommend eating early if you are someone who prefers a quieter experience. Also, although I was a student with a discount card, giving me access to 30% off on that particular instance. It is worthy to note that this is likely to be a somewhat costly evening, if you are someone who will order more than one course, or if you are a family, paying for multiple people."

"A few weeks ago, my husband and I decided to stop by the restaurant at the hotel before heading to the Royal Albert Hall. We arrived early for our reservation so we went to the bar across the restaurant for some pre-dinner drinks. The staff...there was lovely, very attentive and the cocktails were superb. We thought we were in for a great night, but when we moved to the restaurant, it was a disaster. First we didn't got our drinks served for ages, with the waiters not understanding or even being able to explain anything at all. On top of that, they were the total opposite from the bar staff, very rude and chatting with themselves instead of attending the tables, making not only us, but other clients irritated aswell. When the food finally arrived it was actually quite good, but we felt uncomfortable beacuse we felt rushed to finish and go, like they where desperate to finish the service. We tried to understand that maybe they were in a difficult situation or understaffed, so when my husband asked for the restaurant manager to explain the situation, he was very rude, not paying attention at all, like he didn't care. He brought us the check quickly and threw it on the table. It's a shame that we got that treatment. I remember going to this restaurants or years ago, and the services was extraordinary. I hope they can bring it back to what it was. For now I'll just get food at the cocktail back if I ever go back."
