"My review is solely based on the most recent visit. I have been gaucho various times and it has always been on point. Never a request turnt down, always respectfully attentive whilst not invasive which is perfect for a dinner with a loved one. My only fault was the steak on this occasion was not enjoyable and quite bland and dry. The fries were cold and the max cheese was a tad burnt, dry and crispy. Apart from that, everything else was perfect. Staff were brilliant and catered to our requests."

"Initially the greeter would not give us our tables that we had a booking for. She was actually quite rude saying that they were fully booked and that we couldn't dine there. I have never had that before at all the other cotes I've been to. The restaurant was not busy. When I came back to challenge this and to ask her to check my booking, the manager was very nice and showed us to a table. The food was nice, but this was not great service to start with. Also the loos were particularly dirty. I'm not sure if anyone has ever mopped the floor."

"The bar is beautiful, with stylish furniture and nicely laid out. The drinks were great and the chairs comfortable. The only slight negative is that despite booking a space for 5pm, no one came to take our orders once seated, despite been told we’d have a waiter. In the end, we waited 20mins and then asked to be served, which was a bit of a let down. Overall though, staff were friendly, and it’s a cool venue."

"The food was excellent however we felt the service let them down . We tried on numerous occasions to get the attention of a waiter or waitress- not one made eye contact or acknowledged us. One waiter was on his mobile phone in the restaurant which I have never seen before. Even paying after getting the bill took time."

"pj’s is my neighboring cheek. I love eating and the ambiente. the waiter they had for us floats over us like a helicopter. we hardly sat down when he took our order. I asked him to bring us the drinks menu. he brought them and stood there and waited. I asked him to give us five minutes to see what we want to order. he finally got the buddies and left us. throughout the evening he always came to us every five minutes, interrupts our conversation that I had not seen for 6 months and we had much to pick up) to ask us if everything was in order. when it came to ask for the bill, he either acts a vanishing act or would not even look at our table. I had to stand up practically from my table and wave my white serviette to get his attention. I would have given my neighborhood cahangout and gemstone 5 stars if not on the superior and excessive behavior of the waiter. are more relaxed and treat people like guests in their facility."

"Somewhat attentive staff however food was served cold and basically the lamb chops were mostly fat. I asked for truffled Mac and cheese however it never arrived or from the bill was put down. Also got my drinks order wrong. All small things however a number of small things all add up and made my experience not so great."

"Le Caprice is tucked away in Arlington Street in a surprisingly quiet spot behind the Ritz. If it sounds glam, it’s because it is. In a restaurant like that, the little details in service are what really set a place apart. We walked in with a booking and the maître d’ managed very discreetly and without me realising, to confirm a special little something that the s.o. had requested. Now that, is class. From our seats at the bar (we love the counter if you recall from my Bocca Di Lupo post I could see the maître greeting the regulars like a pro (handshake for the men, sometimes a hug for the ladies or a peck on the cheek). Even before we had a single bite to eat, we knew this...read more"

"Harry's Bar at Ironmonger lane is possibly one of the best high end pubs in City. The pub has a dining space on the first floor and drinking area downstairs. It even has designated private smoking area if you wish to try one of its fine cigars, which as the pub claims, if enjoyed with the heating and music, makes you feel as if you are in Cuba! They have a good selection of rum to go with the cigars. Food is tastefully decorated and taste is top notch. Service is also good but what may pinch is the price. You may find price to be higher than average but it is certainly compensated by the quality service, ambiance and cigars which you can get here."

"I requested a spot at the counter bar since I was alone and heading to the theatre . No sooner was I seated than the bar man abruptly asked me what I wanted to drink no “welcome, how are you tonight” . He seemed a bit miffed when I asked to see the cocktail list, as though I should know instantly what I wanted. And, although a prix-fixe, pre-theatre menu is advertised online, only the regular a la carte menu was handed to me. So I had to ask for that, as well! As it turned out, I ordered an expensive a la carte main dish, since it appealed to me. During my meal, no one ever topped up my sparkling water the bottle stood in plain sight and the barman/waiter watched me refill my glass. And, when I’d finished my cocktail, no one asked if I’d like a glass of wine although I sat there looking at the page of wines by the glass . By then, although I did want wine, I was too fed up with the rudeness to order one. It was only after I asked for my bill that a waiter asked if I’d like dessert or coffee! Obviously, I didn’t. But I just smiled politely and said I had to go. No one thanked me for coming or wished me a pleasant evening. Yes, the place is packed being right by the Ritz Hotel is very beneficial . And the ambiance is suave and clubby. But the waitstaff is basically disaffected although they do act unctuously polite to regulars . I’ve actually been coming to Le Caprice for many years, but usually sit with friends at a table. Hmm— what a difference!"

"The food at this restaurant is excellent and reasonably priced. The staff is efficient and friendly. My only complaint is that the music is too loud for comfortable conversation. Lowering the volume would not detract from the atmosphere, I promise!"

"my friend and I went to capitulate for dinner to celebrate his birthday, as was capitula, we thought the only decent restaurant in blackheath. all the others seem to be pushing down quickly. we have been in the past often in the capitulas, and the food and services were good we had no appetizers and ordered only one main meal (black foam and black bell), because we were not huge hungry because we were eating a lot of birthday cakes earlier! we had a glass of wine and were offered a piece of bread. 35 minutes later we waited for our food. in this time no one came to ask if we were in order or offer us more drinks. I asked the manager if our food was ready. he said it would be 5 minutes without a statement of delay then disappeared 10 minutes later there was no sign of food or manager. That is why we decided to go because we lost interest in eating. we have to go and the manager came by. he told us the delay was due to a big party in the ground floor. this was not the case, there was a group of 8 people who had finished their meal for a long time. we were there earlier when it was much more business and the service was not so bad. while we waited, we saw a customer who had finished their meal, slipped £20 into the manager hand when he left. Perhaps the workers need bribe to provide good services? it is such a scandal, but another blackheath restaurant has become complicit and believes that it with the treatment of its customers without respect. I will vote for one with my feet and will not eat again in this restaurant. I will also leave everyone I don't know to go there"

"GIVE IT A GO!!! Chupitos is such a lovely welcoming restaurant me and my family have been frequent visitors for quite a few years. We have previously been for Sunday dinners, birthdays, mothers day, fathers day, new years eve, and the odd Friday and Saturday night. The food is amazing and always plenty of options all freshly cooked and well portioned. The cocktails are also just as good as any London cocktail bar. Yes sometimes when it is busy or we have come with a very large table we have had to wait a bit but you would get that in most reasonable priced restaurants as they limit their staff to keep costs down. Also their food is cooked fresh and it is soo tasty it is worth the wait. While you browse the menu order a basket of bread with their in house aioli it is amazing. You have to try the cheese and chorizo or the scallops to start followed by the fillet steak with Padron peppers or a roast beef dinner with their glazed veg and roast pots is soo good. If you have room for dessert then all the options are delicious so maybe share and try them all! I have not given a review before as this is not something I generally do, but on our visit this weekend when we inquired how business was doing Katie expressed concern about how a bad review with false allegations could effect her business and she was upset at being called a racist I felt bad for not giving a them a review before so thought I would make sure to do it this time.

"Lovely restaurant and decor to compliment the service given. A little pricy. Food was lovely and service was pretty efficient by our waitress(did not get her name). What I wasn't extremely happy with was the fact that our waitress offered popadoms and water said it was complementary, I decided to specifically ask if they both were and then the waitress told me only the water was complimentary; absolutely fine if popadoms aren't complimentary but don't make out as though it is. I decided to take off the service charge as I love to individually tip my waiter/waitress but staff decided to tell manager and he decided to make a big deal."

"Having been here many times over the years, I am disappointed to be writing this review. We booked midday lunch as a group of 4, arriving early to await opening, as we were going to theatre matinee show. The manager? opened the door then let it go nearly in my face.. no welcoming hello or greeting. We then waited ages for drinks and then had to ask for food order to be taken. Meanwhile everyone who arrived after us had been attended to. Then a 45 minute wait for meals (again we had to ask) which left us with no time for pudding, coffee etc. My beef bourguignon was very fatty and unpleasant.. the other 3 meals looked much nicer. Sadly I won’t be returning."

"my partner and I only spend a magical weekend in edinburgh, but unfortunately whigham’s was certainly not the highlight. Although it seems very promising, with beautiful decoration, a good atmosphere and welcoming and efficient employees, it really lets us eat down. I ordered the cullen skink, which was warming but not aromatized. the starter of my partner was the best we ordered. our main dishes of fishcake and chili huh were missing taste again. my fish cake tasted almost inconspicuously from my suppenstarter and the chili huhn was extremely mild. we ordered a pinotgrigio, which was expensive for a low quality bottle, and we did not hang around after eating. it is a...read more"

"On Mother's Day, we went for afternoon tea at Egerton House Hotel and wow it did not disappoint. Of course, this is a high end hotel, so high end prices accompanied. But it was worth every penny. The staff were lovely, friendly and couldn't have been more hospitable. We were constantly offered tea refills, and the range of tea was amazing! The vegan afternoon tea was amazing. As a vegan, you don't have to miss out on anything! It is amazing that even something as traditional as afternoon tea is now veganised. The sandwiches were inventive and flavourful, not just lettuce and tomato they featured a creative mixture of delicious ingredients. And the cakes! Wow...they were creamy, delicious and superbly elegant. We could not have asked for a better afternoon. I 100% recommend."

"My first course had 3 slices of bread with a selection of toppings. 1 was OK (mushrooms in cream) the other 2 were diced tomato and something which was tasteless and both were pointless and uninteresting. With my main course the sauce around the dome of pasta and meatballs was cold, and even after it was bought back to me it was barely warm. The dessert panettone bread pudding was a triumph."

"Terrible Experience Unkind Staff and Poor Service I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at this bar and restaurant was so frustrating that I feel compelled to share. From the moment we walked in, the staff were unwelcoming and seemed irritated by our presence. It felt like we were an inconvenience to them rather than valued customers. Our server was rude and dismissive, barely paying attention to our requests and acting like we were wasting their time. When we asked simple questions about the menu, they responded with a condescending attitude, as if we were bothering them. The entire atmosphere was uncomfortable, with no warmth or friendliness from any of the staff. To make matters worse, the food took forever to arrive, and when it finally did, it was mediocre at best. Combine that with the rude service, and it was easily one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I definitely won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant night out. There are plenty of other places where the staff actually care about their customers. Avoid this place if you want to enjoy your evening!"
