"Welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, excellent value, and friendly service. Impressive wine selection by the glass and a wide variety of gins. Started with chicken liver pate and wild mushroom risotto, both of which were fantastic. The risotto had a perfect balance of flavors and texture, while the pate had a strong taste, although it could have used a bit more dressing on the side salad. The steak and Carbonara were both well-prepared, with the steak and chips being particularly outstanding. The Carbonara was creamy and had a nice egg flavor, but the addition of chicken pieces was not necessary. For dessert, we enjoyed a delicious crumble with pecan topping and homemade vanilla ice cream, as well as a Cheesecake made with Merlyn liquer which was well executed but not a dish we would order again. The only downside was the table we chose near the door to the toilets, which caused a loud bang with each use. Despite this, we will definitely be returning for the fantastic food, service, and ambiance."

"Found this little restaurant close to our hotel while visiting London, and so glad we did. The food and service were excellent. The restaurant itself is really small and the tables are close together resulting in a loud environment. However, if you want some really good Italian food, this is a great spot."

"We have ordered in an easy and relaxed manner, no rush from the staff at all , Iliyan the manager and Saima our waiter were very helpful with my allergy , she is an amazing waiter making our stay very pleasant, answered my friend’s questions about the food ! The manager is an amazing person , ensuring we were well looked after . I have been asking him the name of the person who sitted us , he informed me that her name is Daday , the kindest person ever , although very busy she asked us how we are and had a chat until seated . Thank you for a memorable experience with you ! We will definitely be back !"

"y husband and I had lunch today at The Oak. We realise in these trying times restaurants and pubs etc are having a hard time but that does not excuse serving poor quality food. I had the stuffed mushroom to start with my husband had the scotch egg. The starters turned up on a small plate with no garnish to make them even look appetizing the scotch egg was really small although it had a runny yolk with it was an attempt at a bloody mary drink in a small glass) I felt sorry for my mushroom it looked really lonely on the plate I didnt particularly want to eat it but we had waited a while so I took the plunge and I will leave it at that. Next course we both had the lemon chicken burgers with chips chips were cooked in the oven) and that is precisely what we got no garnish presentation of food for me is important as you do eat with your eyes. If I had been lunching at a local cafe or service station I wouldnt have expected anything else but we were not...this is suppose to be a reasonably good restaurant. I did mention this to the waitress when she cleared our plates and she said she would inform the kitchen. We then asked for the bill my husband didnt look to happy then he showed me the bill when we got outside £39.40p which included 2 drinks of lime and soda. The starters themselves came to £13.45 which is why I am writing this review because no way they were worth it I wish I had taken a photo for people to have seen. I am not trying to wangle any freebies of this I am saying to the owners please please realise I know in these times you are struggling but so I am and my husband to do not have money to throw away on a lunch that was equal to local cafe."

"We have been to this restaurant many times over the last 5+ years and no problems,and always have a jacket potato, food reasonable prices and ample. Unfortunately this visit we were very dissatisfied we both opted for jacket potato , which was an average but small potatoe, filling given was small too, and salad small infact for £8 each it was terrible. My husband didn't want salad and was not offered a bit more filling instead which would of been nice the prices have gone up considerably but the portions have gone down. The lady serving was not friendly and we just felt really let down by the customer service. We didn't eat until gone 2 so we thought a bigger portion would of been the case to get rid of the food fresh! Also stopped doing the coffee refills, big mistake as this was a good way of getting people in. The only positive was the young girl serving drinks was very pleasant, the older lady should take a leaf out of her book so to speak. We will no be going back. Annoyed I didn't photo food I usually do"

"We both realy enjoyed the mealat the restrant. It was also a nice peaceful environment, with the water feature and staff adding to the overall ambiance. The foot was of good quality and set out nicely. The beer did add to the overall cost. (very tasty mind! I would definately like to eat there again but might have to avoid the beverages to keep the cost affordable."

"very limited menu with too many fish dishes. some things that are not available, but that seems for the cursor with a series of restaurants due to the circumstances that are beyond their control. However, this was more than by free sweets from the manager. service was very attentive, but not over intrusive. the restaurant was clean and welcoming. prices and portion size were very good. not complaining."

"The food was good but the service could definitely be improved. The waitress was nice, but she was confused about their own menu and she did not understand what we wanted to order nothing out of the ordinary, but she did not understood the English names of the dishes). In the end she said she understood but when the food came we realised she was clueless: I ordered a medium size tea, got a large one I had no idea what is the difference between a medium and large, but I understood that I got a large when we got the bill), I ordered chicken breast and got a full baby chicken. The food was nice, but I did not actual ate what I wanted. There is a 10% service charge added to the bill although is not clear when you calculate the total and you realise it's more than it should)... I was in a very good mood plus in a hurry so i did not say that I would like to pay less for the service charge considering all the mistakes."

"There is not an abundance of restaurants open on Christmas Day in London, so it was a pleasant surprise when we found out Brasserie Chavot would be serving a holiday set dinner, as we have wanted to try this restaurant for awhile. We couldn't have asked for a better meal ! 5 scrumptious courses up to Michelin standards. The White Bean soup with Foie Gras was outstanding as was the cured salmon served with the most surprisingly tasty cabbage slaw. The main course of roast turkey, though very traditional, was made special with a pistachio stuffing and delicious herbed potatoes. A couple of great desserts, a very good house red, and friendly service completed this great experience. Though this was a special holiday offering, I have to imagine that there everyday food and service would be just as memorable."

"I have visited Bill's a few times and it has been hit and miss, but I thought having breakfast with friends couldn't really go wrong. Firstly, our drinks took forever to arrive due to a lot of confusion, as it was quite busy. Our food finally arrived after 45 minutes, but one order of poached eggs on toast arrived with the toast half soaked in water and cold eggs. We sent it back, and the second order arrived in a similar condition, with the manager placing it back on the table without apology. Two other dishes also had cold eggs, and an extra dish was brought out towards the end because the water bath apparently was not turned on. It was disappointing to find out that eggs, which cost over £12 per plate, are not truly made to order. Only towards the end were coffees and juices offered, which felt a bit too late. When presented with the bill, it seemed like a gesture to take off the cost of my meal (that I did not receive), so I had to ask for the drinks to be removed as well. A service charge was added, which felt like an insult considering the slapdash service and poor quality of food. After this experience, I do not plan on returning to Bill's."

"I dont have heaps of money, but when my boyfriends family came over we suggested this place, to be super surprised with the view, the staff and food, we were shocked when leaving with the bill.... (i didnt pay but I wish i had suggested i would! AMAZING value, I also got the chicken which was mmmm! I love the view you get, if you get which you can also request views over the station, see the cathedral monument and north bridge! I would run back for another chicken plate and shandy! (I dont run...."

"We arrived just before and were the first diners in . The Covid precautions seemed to be comprehensive but not unnecessarily obtrusive , there were bottles of hand sanitiser on every table . We were immediately shown to our table and able to order drinks immediately. Shortly afterwards our food orders were taken by a friendly waiter. The food arrived in a reasonable time cooked to order and was excellent quality and reasonable sized portions.By the time we had finished the restaurant area was filling up but there was not too much noise. I popped outside for a vape and it did take me a while to get back to my table due to queing at the 'one way' covid system but this didn't impact adversely. The staff were , by now, quite busy and it did take a while to get our bill , but we were in no particular hurry so wasn't a big deal. Overall a very enjoyable meal in pleasant surroundings with friendly , if a little busy, staff"

"A real gem tucked on the corner in Shirley. I've lived in the area for a couple of years now and am always walking down the main road to get to the CoOp, but I hadn't noticed Romeo on the corner until last week. I had a look at the menu from outside and liked the look of it so decided to book a table on Friday night. It is a very small restaurant, with even less tables due to Covid, but the lighting was cozy and the music made it a really nice atmosphere.I ordered one of their pizzas after being recommended by a member of staff, and my girlfriend ordered the pumpkin ravioli. The food was amazing, especially for the price. The only thing I would say is that the portion size for the ravioli was maybe a little small, but would be fine if you ordered a starter as well.I would recommend to anyone thinking of coming here and will definitely be coming back.Thank you"

"I can't stress how amazing this restaurant is. we came from birmingham and looked for a place to eat so, we went randomly on google to search for restaurants and came over this. the position of him perfect, I love how it is in the middle of a park. the man who served us was so sweet and friendly that is something that I will never forget, he made sure that we were good all our time there and even put a portable heating next to us to make sure we stay warm. the food was nice, thanks to the cook, the decor inside is beautiful, all about it makes it so welcome. I have never found such a place before me and will be visited again in summer. Thank you again."

"A absolute gem of a restaurant, had a beautiful evening in the restaurant to celebrate a birthday and our daughters confirmation. Chef is amazing the food perfect and the desserts are a beautiful indulgence and treat to end a evening with. The waitresses couldn’t do anymore to help and ensure you have a great evening. I look forward to my next visit and wish the staff and restaurant every success post Covid times."

"It can be the bad relationship of the most elegant restaurant Le Club Gascon next door. The menu can be a little limited and the service a little slow. But the waiters here also double as food preparers, not only giving the last touches to the food perhaps cooked in a shared kitchen, but in the case of the dessert of the day tightening through the nozzle of a gun the creamy fillers in the leafy cakes. The menu of the day appeared on an external board like 10 for a more dessert incoming and only 3 extra for a first glass of wine that I described slightly differently in the printed menu as 3 for an incoming, 8. 50 for a main dish and 3 for a dessert. The menu changes weekly. Today it started with a beautifully marmoleated ham teat with salad and crunchy bread. The main part of the steak of smoked eglefino was a bit disappointed by its slightly disappointing potato pieces, but completely redeemed by its mushroom sauce. The piece of resistance, however, was, possibly, the profiteroles both in terms of flavor and presentation. A double espresso coffee cane with a chocolate cake that complements the profiteroles very well. With the French cuisine of this quality, where could you find a better lunch offer anywhere in London?"

"Pizza good as usual but the side portions are laughable. Slaw £4.95 barely two tablespoons of grated carrot with pepper on top and tasted grim. £4.95 for miniscule side salad drenched in dressing (with two grapes of all things. Even dough balls massively marked up over £4 for 8 but teeny tiny. Didn't complain as my teen son was too embarrassed. Clearly how they're making their money. Shame really. Otherwise service good....pizza express is pizza express!"

"I last visited Books Beans a couple of years ago so I thought while passing I'd nip in for breakfast. At the time I did not know it'd changed hands. This became apparent when my food arrived. Scrambled eggs with a sausage and black pudding. The sausage was the same as I'd get offshore (just enough meat to be legally called a sausage) and the eggs were bland. I expected more quality, to be honest. The service was good though. Be aware of the 10% service charge, yes it can be removed if you ask but it's still a bit cheeky. Edit: going by their responses to honest reviews, the owner clearly thinks they are perfect? Take it as constructive criticism and use it to make your business better?!"

"During our third night in Torquay, I was extremely impressed with Las Iguanas! They had a separate section on their menu dedicated to vegan options, which did not disappoint. I found it charming that they included little vegan flags on the food to signify their pride in offering these choices. I ordered the vegan nachos for a starter and a vegan burrito for my main, but the starter was so filling that I couldn't finish my main! Everything was delicious, and the staff were attentive and friendly. We chose to sit outside and used a QR code to order our food. There were also some fantastic vegan cocktail options available on a 2 for 1 special. I would definitely recommend Las Iguanas over the other restaurants on the Riviera strip. (This review has been updated from a previous review dated July 13, 2022)"

"I 've used the takeaway service several times now since covid and the first couple of times was hit and miss. I was not impressed with the plain rather overpriced hot dog. But I persevered and I have now discovered the beef Piri burger which is delicious, their chips are genuinely the nicest I 've ever had! However, the 'home made ' desserts were really disappointing. They come in a carton with the manufacturer 's name on it. Clearly factory made and frozen, very small portion at £3.80 each I feel completely ripped off!"
