"The dining room at Berners Tavern is stunning with dripping chandeliers, sculptures and floor to ceiling paintings. To match, the food is outstanding. We came in for the Sunday menu and weren't disappointed. I had the Mac and cheese with beef short rib and it was rich, cheesy, creamy and the addition of the beef was oh so satisfying and full of burnt end flavour. So bad but so good. The roast was standard, however the roast pork didn't come with crackling as any good old pork roast would, but instead there was crackling dust which just wasn't the same. The Yorkshire pudding was a little bit soggy and comes stuffed with buttery greens. On the other hand, drinks took a while to arrive and we had to wait a very long time for our table to be cleared and order dessert. Overall, great for food but we felt a little neglected in terms of service."

"Aubaine is by far the best place for you to catch up over good food, nice service and enjoyable ambience, especially the branch located at High str Kensington. We were welcomed warmly and directed to a seat next to the window paving to the street view. I ordered a croque monsieur which was divine (could've gone for a second one..but calories!! and some tea. The service was impeccable, the clientele posh and the ambience enjoyable. I would recommend this french restaurant for anyone in the neighborhood (even Aubaine in any other part of London . Can't wait to try out some of the other yummy dishes on their menu. Very much recommended!"

"The best part obviously was the singer. Primo Bar’s area is very cozy and nice. Comfy seats, olive that we ordered we’re not good. The asian waitress that served us seemed annoyed, unwelcoming and cold. Sometimes she would ignore guests by walking past them. At one point 6-7 irish men joined the bar by ruining the atmosphere (we felt like in a pub). We weren’t the only ones who felt annoyed by them. Shame that nothing was done about it since obviously they ruined one hour of pleasure listening to the singer. Overall, would come back for the music and ambience, but some improvements can be easily implemented."

"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."

"At the arrival we had to wait as they couldn't find the booking. When ordering one of my guest asked to have the chicken breast without sweetcorn and after the waiter came back saying the chef explained the sweetcorn is the main ingredient in the menu as it's cooked 3 ways and not having sweetcorn would alter the original taste of the recipes, my guest asked if something else could be added instead. When the food was delivered the staff didn't ensure we had everything we needed, salt and pepper were missing and a check back wasn't given throughout the dinner. The chips were dry and far overcooked, the RibEye was uneatable, the duck breast was tough, chewy and overcooked, the haddock dish was oversalted. Everything was a complete disappointment and not worthy all that money!"

"Insufficient vegetables. Booked a table in advance and arrived just after opening to find the only other customers had been placed on the table next to ours. Felt odd being in a large space with the only customers sat at adjoining tables. Standards are slipping food wise and your very good reputation will disappear quickly if not arrested."

"Food was reasonable although a bit overpriced. Although that is almost always the case in Chelsea you expect a bit more for a ribeye that costs £39 (at least hand cut fries iso average McDonald’s ones). The service was also mediocre although the Manager was attentive and friendly. Lastly: the continuous delivery people picking up orders is also a bit annoying …"

"usually difficult to get a table short time, but we had practically the whole restaurant to ourselves around 19 clock on Thursday. this was due to the fact that the local hotel occupancy rates were strongly depressed and the people of home working due to covid 19. this empty, there was atmosphere missing but service excellent. good choice of all courses and I especially enjoyed the Oktopus starter. grilled cod main course cooked to perfection with large damp flocks of fish. criminality brûlée with rhabarb and coffee finish. a good choice of crying, but the brandup is exaggerated."

"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"

"This was our first time visiting this restaurant . We booked for lunch being midweek it was quiet so we can’t fairly comment on what the ambience would be in evening. But….. fantastic food we sampled six tapas dishes and each of them had superb taste. And the service was excellent. We will certainly be back with the rest of our friends and family in tow !"

"The first time we went as a family and we were really impressed! Not least by our waiter, Robert, who was absolutely fantastic. He made space for us indoors (as it was quite chilly outside) by cleverly rearranging some tables without us having to ask. He was so kind and attentive. He’s a real asset to Valentina’s. Thanks Robert. Also Valentina’s made our dog very welcome too. We will definitely be back."

"We returned having had a great time the first time and it didn't disappoint. Our waitress was first class she even remembered us from months ago. Always willing to recommend dishes. The chef even let us try something before we made a decision as was worried it was going to be too spicy. It wasn't it was delicious. As was all the food we had. We ate too much but it was worth feeling full. Have recommended to friends will certainly be back for the Goat curry ...and everything else."

"What a lovely experience. The food was excellent. The service was efficient and timely but not rushed. We had a table for 6 and had a 6 year old with us. We arrived early but our table was ready and we were made to feel very welcome. The restaurant was clearly child friendly and we were very well catered for in this respect. There was plenty of space for us at our table and we were very comfortable. This was an excellent restaurant for a family gathering right in the heart of Covent Garden and so convenient to theatreland."

"I returned again recently for a wine tasting session. It was really well run, very enjoyable and the nibbles were great. I will definitely be looking out for more wine tastings. ‐ Good quality food and a nice selection of wines. Lively atmosphere. Friendly staff. Definitely worth trying."

"Apparently they were very busy (only as a next note I booked in advance) so that we in the first floor breakfast room instead of in the lobby level afternoon tea room (the room advertised with the beautiful tea sets and cute sofas is a quirky tea room interior.) that was already very disappointing. the room was in the lower ground floor, it had a few breakfast tables, but otherwise felt empty and additionally the doors closed. fortunately another family arrived and sat in the same room as we felt a little less isolated and left after. eating was not even average in terms of quality, the sandwiches and scenes were ok, but the cakes (although there was a selection of them) were not good at all. they were dry and a little tasteless. do not reflect the price! the friendliness and friendliness of the waitress was the best part of the experience. She was very nice to us and to our dog. overall the afternoon was disappointing and overpriced (we paid £184 for two including a glass champagne and the dog menu.) the only advantage of this experience (or say the only experience) is that they can bring their dog. but is it worth it? the answer is definitiw no!"

"We 'd been meaning to go to Crafthouse for a while and finally managed it for a Sunday lunch on a blustery Sunday the offer was very reasonable compared to some prices £25 for 2 courses. We came up in the private elevator from the road a nice touch; but then were left waiting in a corridor for 5 minutes whilst staff rushed around a half full dining room, then taken straight to our seats in the bar side of the restaurant we would have had a view of Boar lane and South Leeds if the blinds across the windows hadn 't;t all been fully down I can appreciate there would have been some glare earlier in the day, but the sun had already set when we arrived and so half our view was of greige. Service was a bit 'by the numbers ' there was a set order they worked in and we wouldn 't be allowed to order food at the same time as a drink even though we were ready. Starters were OK cured salmon was tasty and well presented, though the accompanying slice of brioche looked a little mean and unevenly toasted; the prawn cocktail was very salty prawns with a limp and tired salad and not enough Marie Rose. Mains were where it all fell apart we were offered beef or lamb either well done or pink and both settled on well, as medium was not allowed; Both meats arrived rare, and though tasty were very tough and gristly cuts, with a lot of visible fat around and through the meat. Veg were OK, though didn 't;t feel particularly freshly cooked. With a (very good) rum old fashioned at £18 the total came to £76 including a 12.5% service charge. Ambiance was noisy, with some dance ish music a bit too loud for my tastes perhaps closing the door on the very noisy group in the glassed off 'private ' dining room would have helped. I 'm glad we went, but there are much better options for the price, or less don;t think we 'll return."
