"Booked a table in the attic for dinner. We were promptly surrounded by half cut punters shouting and swearing who had been diverted up from the bar downstairs. This is unacceptable and disrespectful to customers who have come specially for dinner. It should either be...a restaurant space or a pub, not both. It didn 't get much better... I 'm bring generous to say the servers were poor at their job. The were disinterested to the point of being arrogant. Very much gave the impression of being students who had no interest in doing their job. Put down soup and dessert without noticing we had no spoons!! The table next to us had to repeatedly go to the bar to ask for missing cutlery too. After having to go to the sering station to ask for condiments we were given an empty salt shaker! Food was literally dumped down and slid along the table, canteen style. The mussels starter was the only good part of the meal but spoiled a bit by the fact the clueless servers didn 't bring a dish for used shells, meaning I couldn 't really get into the sauce beneath (leaving aside the fact they didn 't bring a spoon! and there was no hot water brought to clean my fingers. Fish and chips was passable but overpriced at £14. Worth a tenner at best. The 'mountain burger ' was an absolute joke. It looked like a kids meal from Wetherspoons; similar to the picture below by another reviewer. The burger and chips were straight from the frozen catering catalogue. The night was summed up by the horrible sight of the boss publicly dressing down one of the servers in the middle of the restaurant. He was almost face to face with her, puffing his feathers out and finger pointing. At one point a customer who was walking past to the toilet tried to intervene because it was getting so uncomfortable. He was responded to with : it 's OK, I 'm the owner. I don 't care how poorly somebody is at doing their job, nobody has the right to take liberties like that. The irony is that he was obviously pulling her up for something to do with the tables of drinkers as he clearly hadn 't noticed the standard of restaurant food and service. On that note; it 's not a good look for an owner to be boozing in his own establishment and rise to his feet to play the boss card just to look like a big shot."

"Absolutely delighted to share my experience at this remarkable Italian restaurant. Over the past decade, it has consistently been my go-to for authentic and mouthwatering Italian cuisine. The commitment to tradition is evident in every dish, showcasing a mastery of culinary expertise. The fresh fish, a personal favorite, never fails to impress with its quality and flavor. Impeccable service and a warm ambiance add to the overall exceptional dining experience. Here's to another decade of savoring the exquisite tastes crafted by the talented team at this culinary gem."

"We got there at 12.30 and after 30 mins we managed to get a drink. We managed to get a bench outside to sit at as I am disabled. My daughter went to queue up for chips and burgers for the children as we thought it would be the quickest and how wrong were we . 45 mins later and only 2 people serving we decided to call it a day. Everything looked dirty, the bouncy castle/train was unusable because it was full of water , moss and leaves. They advertised it and didn’t even clean it, it was disgusting.The so called farm was just a few dirty enclosures with not much grass and a few chicken , and sheep in. We left after not being able to get food for ages and went into Maidstone to get something. Never will we go back there as there was just a lack of staff. 2 cooking food and taking money and 2 people serving in the bar. I was in the trade for 25 years and you always get extra staff when you have some kind of function on."

"Sadly, after many years of visiting this establishment, our visit on 11th November 2023 was shocking. This was our first visit since the Coronavirus Pandemic, we arrived at 9.41pm after travelling a long distance for what has always been a monthly treat (pre Pandemic). The people serving were not at all pleased to see us, we placed our order including a fishcake on it 's own (I have a receipt to prove it) the lady who took our order was asked to confirm our order by the chef, he shout angrily and aggressively at her No Fishcake . She then came to us and said, sorry no fishcakes but you can have anything else , we reluctantly ordered a portion of Calamari. The woman who appeared to be in charge was hostile and rude to the lady that was serving us and demanded that she go down stairs to get Tartare sauce. She was not at all pleasant to us neither, it was very clear they wanted to close up, all be it there was a good 15 mins before closing at 10pm. Unfortunately, to add to this hostile reception, the food was awful, the fish and calamari was tasteless despite being freshly fried for us, the mushy peas and tartare sauce were equally as tasteless, the chips, although freshly fried were a little undercooked. All in all our £40.50 meal we travelled miles across London to enjoy after several years of not being here was truly disappointing. As a resident of Maida Vale in the 80 's and 90 's, we have been patrons of Seashell since the days when Princess Diana and her children frequented this establishment. I 'm without a doubt this establishment is no longer run by the previous owners, as the level of service and the quality of food is no comparison. Needless to say I will no be recommending Seashell or visiting again."

"We escaped the main body of the flare itself, only the tail end of the energy wafted across our planet, like the smoke from next door’s bonfire drifting into your garden on a Saturday afternoon. It made for a spectacular lightshow, the midnight sky illuminated as beams of super-heated gas shot across the heavens, streaks of light, sunset orange at first then a brighter yellow then finally bright white, the intensity of the energy increased and blended with our atmosphere. No sound, not at first at least. The bright streaks overhead moved in silence, from what seemed like directly overhead then off into the distance, they looked to disappear over the horizon as they shot off into space. Then came the noise, it sounded like distant thunder to begin with, a low rumble that grew and swirled around the busy sky. The streaks overhead increased in size, until the whole sky flashed white with intermittent blinding explosions within the magnetic field around our Earth. We stood and watched open mouthed, as the universe gave us a stark reminder of our place within it. It acted as a global EMP, frying solenoids like bacon all over the world, we lost almost all electricity overnight. Weeks passed before the power started to come back on, clean became available and the world was settling back down to a variation of normal. It took years to properly rebuild, decades of struggle, but now some forty years later we have new technology borne out of the flare, electromagnetic propulsion was fast becoming a reality. New discoveries were being made decades after the event, only last week a chap in Germany had learned how to ignite a fire underwater, a remarkable, if somewhat pointless endeavour. All of this leads us to here, where the next great discovery happens, today, to a man called Jack."

"We have visited Zara three times over the past decade. The first time, we were served a lamb dish that did not actually contain any lamb. On a recent visit, we arrived at 11:45am only to be told they don't open until 12 and refused to serve us a drink or take our order. Today, we arrived at 4:45pm to find the restaurant only lightly occupied, but were told the kitchen was closed due to being busy. The waitress did not even offer us a drink and said the kitchen would not reopen until five, yet still did not take our order. The requirement of a minimum of two people to order the mixed mezze at £13.50 per person is unfair, as it should be available for any number of customers. Additionally, selling a kebab for £19 is excessive. As locals, we find Zara's service and pricing to be disgraceful. We do not recommend dining here."

"I had a chicken sandwich that was very small for the price they pay has not tasted bad, but not tasted amazing. my friend had the cod sandwich she enjoyed a lot, just said she needed more sauce (which I am sure they would have done if she had asked) not a bad little pub"

"italian'? Not really... Good food? Only if you have the lowest of the standards... Friendly staff? Only if you are a hardcore masochist... We ended up by accident to Fanelli's and to say we were not impressed would be an understatement! I cannot recall one...menu item which was actually tasty or worth its money. The pizza was soogy and the mushroom risoto so full of huge pieces of garlic that I was so disgusted I had to send it back. Dreadful quality of pasta and overall ingredients with little reference to real Italian receipes. I am not sure if the food or the staff was the worst part of the experince... So rude, inpolite and slow. Truth to be told, the place was understaffed but that is not an excuse to be rude to a group of ten people who will leave you a substantial amount of money. Any positive review about this place makes me loose faith in humanity."

"We visited as a table of 6 this past Sunday and all agreed it had to be the best sunday lunch we have all ever had! Everything tasted amazing and there was nothing to fault. The service from the two girls was faultless and also the guy who I imagine was the owner, was so friendly and welcoming. They where very accommodating, especially considering we had a couple of awkward requests. My husband and I are considering a return trip just to enjoy the food again! The pub itself is very quant, with live music as you dine, the perfect place to spend a sunday afternoon."

"We absolutely loved everything about The Cottage Restaurant. After we found it! It’s down a little alley across from the George Hotel. It’s a small and understated family owned gem. We had friendly service and the food was delicious. You have to try the Loch Fyne salmon and everything else is homemade, including the unbelievable assortment of desserts. The lemon cheesecake was one the best I’ve ever tasted!! There were a number of locals eating when we arrived- enough said!

"Bit of a hidden gem in Mallaig, I reckon. I even came here twice for dinner on my travels. The atmosphere is very easy-going and calm. Perfect for me, as opposed to the often crowded and loud restaurants. The fish and chips were nice, not super outstanding, but definitely solid. The pizza, however, is a great choice; crunchy crust that's not too thick and delicious cheese. Friendly service with a smile to top it off. Service: Dine in"

"We visited the Commodore several times last week during a family visit to Helensburgh. My first visit was on my own and it was such a great experience, I returned with family again twice last week. A big thank you to my waitress Heather on that first occasion. I'm Coeliac and she was most helpful in adapting dishes to suit my needs. There were plenty of GF options including a blackberry and apple crumble for pudding, a rare treat for coeliacs. Subsequent visits with family (and dog) didn't disappoint. Staff were welcoming and helpful, leaving a very positive impression. We sampled several dishes during our visits, all of which were delicious. My favourites were the scallops and king prawn starter and the sea bass for main. Excellent!"

Dietary restrictions: Loads of choices for coeliac gluten free diets. Service: Dine in"

"Visited this place after accidentally leaving it too late to go to any other restaurants as they had all closed, but very glad to have come! We both enjoyed the Scotsman burgers, which was very, very tasty. The chili jam gave it such a great flavour, and the chips were also very good. Also shared a raspberry mojito, which absolutely hit the spot. The atmosphere was that of a beer hall with the bench-tables, which I loved but may not be for everyone. We didn't stay long enough but I can imagine it would be a lovely place to hang and have drinks with friends after a long week. Definitely would visit again!"

"I only highlighted two dishes that I have grown tired of ordering, and my replacement dessert (pavlova) only had one piece of fruit. However, we dined quite late (8pm) and the restaurant was very busy, so it seemed like food was running short. The staff was very friendly and despite the lack of fruit in the pavlova, the meal was delicious and overall very enjoyable."

"The food at this restaurant was fantastic! I highly recommend trying the garlic bread with cheese, it was absolutely delicious. However, the service was a bit slow as we had to wait about 15/20 minutes to place our order. There was also a slight confusion with payment, as we had already paid when another person asked us if we were paying with cash or card. Despite this, the staff were very polite. Overall, I would rate the food a 5, the service a 3, and the atmosphere a 5. I would consider this place for a dine-in dinner option, with prices ranging from £10-20 per person."

"Booked for lunch with friends. Looked after really well by staff. My fish pie came with a personal recommendation and was delicious. Others in our group were equally satisfied with their choices and we were left too full for pudding. Lovely atmosphere in the bar. Food drinks: Excellent food for our lunch. Steak Pie, fish and chips, and an excellent fish pie. Prompt service with friendly staff. Service: 5"

"I love this place, I frequently visit during my lunch breaks at work. The service is exceptional, very attentive. They go above and beyond, offering to reheat my hot drink if I didn't finish it during my meal and paying attention to small details. The staff is really friendly and welcoming. The owners have cultivated a pleasant atmosphere, and even though I may not know anyone there, I enjoy listening to the owners and customers chatting away. It is a charming experience."

"came this week to dinner with 5 friends and had a nice meal. the restaurant itself is well furnished, clean and has an attractive facility. the menu offers a good selection of directed to reasonable trips – although the lighting was so dark that I needed the torch on my handy to actually read it! the service was courteous, attentive and friendly. everything we had was excellent. we shared a selection of appetizers (taramasalata, hummus, cacik, falafel, courgette flower, halloumi and pitta brot) – must say that the falafel was one of the best I ever had, moist, light and full taste and the cowardly jam that came with the halloumi was delicious. for my head I had the moussaka, which was very tasty and came with a small dish of byhalat. the desert was the only part I was not sure of – I had the Panna-Citta, which was quite good in itself, but from some reason it was dressed with ground black pfeffer and dressed with discs of red pfeffer, which did not really work for me. but all in all a very tasty meal. will be coming back here"
