"This is the second time we have been to Crafthouse, the first time having been for an afternoon tea with our family visiting from Taiwan. The food was spectacular, rich deep flavours (porcini veloute, mmmmm... and amazingly tender beef. Even the children's menu was prepared beautifully and our little boy thoroughly enjoyed it. We had the pleasure of being waited on by one of the assistant managers. We were impressed by his prompt, attentive and discreet service style and his knowledge of the food and wine. We thought that the experience was excellent value for money and we had a delightful evening."

"This is our local Italian deli, with the restaurant to the rear of the shop. The food is never anything less than wonderful, We've eaten here a lot and never had anything but a great experience. The kids menu is small, but adequate with pasta and pizza on offer and it's possible to tweak the items. The calves liver is my personal favourite, but having eaten most things on the menu at some point, you really can't go wrong here."

"We have visited Thai Square several times before and have always had wonderful service and great food and drink . There used to be an amazing cocktail menu and the staff had always been so friendly and welcoming . On this occasion we were very disappointed to find that the drinks menu was very much reduced only cocktails and of those were not available) . The atmosphere in the restaurant was not at all The same as when we have visited before and the staff members seemed disinterested. The food , as always , was amazing ! Full of flavour and beautifully presented so we did enjoy our meal but the evening overall was not the one we had been Looking forward to . I would still recommend Thai square as I hope that our visit this time was a one off and that if we dine there again things will be back to how they always used to Be ."

"Hi, I would strongly advise people to avoid black pepper. Although the food is of a average quality the service is DREADFUL as are the prices. Four people dining a 3 course meal came to £195. Money aside I ordered a piña colada, the cocktail tasted AWFUL, watered down to the extent it had no flavour, when I asked to change this for another the waitress caused a big grievance arguing that there is nothing wrong with the cocktail. As I had only one sip I insisted on sending it back, after this the attitude and service further deteriorated with our table being ignored service and receiving stone cold looks from the bar staff. Funnily enough I was still charged for the drink I did not have....read more"

"Went to the theatre and wanted somewhere to eat beforehand. Saw the photos of the restaurant online along with a menu. Restaurant was in a hotel which was not clear from the pictures which affected the ambience a bit and the menu was different which was a little disappointing; the wine choice was also reduced. Ordered from the new menu and when my starter came realised that 3 ingredients had been omitted from the description of the starter all of which I am allergic too. Sent back 3 times and they still didn’t manage to get it right no apology and still charged even thought I couldn’t eat it for bruschetta read ‘bread’. Steak was £30 and not great ended up taking half home for the dog. Chicken overcooked and dry. Overall disappointing and will never return"

"The only downside to this restaurant was the noise level. We were seated at a small table in the middle of the room, which made conversation difficult. However, we loved the creative and tasty Brie bruschetta as an appetizer. The steak we shared was perfectly seasoned and cooked to our liking. Although it wasn't a traditional US cut of beef, we appreciated that it was not corn-fed for environmental reasons. The sticky toffee pudding for dessert was fantastic - warm, moist, but could have used more sauce. The service was attentive as well."

"We had booked a table on the upper terrace for lunch. The food was good and afterwards we stayed on for the afternoon. It's a lovely canalside location but we found the front of house staff excessively officious, inhospitable and unpleasant their rudeness spoiled...our afternoon. Some examples: 1. We were a table of 4 and one extra friend joined us after lunch. She'd barely even sat down when the front of house hostess came flying over and interrupted our conversation to tell us that no more than 4 people were allowed at our table and we'd have to move. The terrace was almost completely empty at that point and we were settled and happy where we were. In the end she grudgingly said we could stay where we were for a short while. 2. We got talking to some guys at a table nearby, one of whom was launching a new hot chocolate and kindly offered us some samples. Not only did the restaurant staff refuse to provide hot water so we could try this (even when we offered to buy a pot of tea he said we couldn't have one as he knew we'd use the hot water to make the hot chocolate within a few minutes they had come over and interrupted our discussion again to tell us we weren't allowed to have the samples (a couple of small cups) visible on the table and had to put them in our bags. So rude and totally ridiculous. I have since tried the hot chocolate at home and it's a lot better than what The Waterway served me last time I had hot chocolate there, so maybe they should have shown a bit of interest. 3. We were kicked off our table by the rude hostess at 6 p.m. even though the terrace was still almost empty, and sent to sit in a draughty lower area with no table service. After another hour I noticed the terrace was still mostly empty and asked staff why we had been moved. It turned out that they had moved us, existing customers, off our table in case of walk-ins for dinner At no point did anyone ask us if we would like to order dinner. Were it not for the unpleasantness of the staff, this would have been a four-star review, but I have never felt so unwelcome as I did at this restaurant. The staff need to sort out their miserable attitudes and learn the meaning of hospitality."

"We visit Aqua in Bromley on a fairly regular basis. The staff are always extremely welcoming especially Dasos. We ordered three meze boards and one steak which were all delicious, followed by Irish and Baileys coffees accompanied by Baileys Creme brûlée’s and a poached pear, everything was superb as always and we left having thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Hand sanitiser was readily available, tables were as per government guidelines, we had a screen in between our table and the next and everybody wore masks to go to the facilities. Well done Dasos and your team, keep up the good work"

"Incredibly disappointed by this restaurant. Far from representing a fine culinary experience, the food was completely average. A fillet steak ordered medium rarely was boiled medium and shrimps were overdone. The service was bad to enter the kitchen with my husband at one point, where all the staff spoke to ask for another glass of wine. Despite these problems, the bill for four people came to over £200, on a 3 course set Father's Day menu, when we had 2 glasses of wine, soft drinks and actually, for the 2 children, asked for only 2 courses. I was surprised to see that on the bill a tiny part of the set price menu for the children had been knocked 2 instead of 3, courses. I certainly do not recommend this place, it is overpriced and represents bad value for money. You'd better go to one of the excellent Gastro pubs in the area."

"I sat outside in the courtyard. I was served pretty quickly and my food and drink arrived without much of a wait. I had the quinoa superfood salad withy chicken breast. The food was tasty and nicely presented, the only issue I had was the salad was nearly all leaves with a sprinkle of quinoa. Whilst I’m used to dining in London and therefore I’m aware of the prices, I did think that in excess of £40 for a G&T and some chicken and salad leaves, was a bit expensive. Also once I’d had my food the service dropped off and it took me a while waiting for the bill. Not sure if I would eat here again due to the price. I don’t mind paying London prices as long as I feel I’m getting value for money."

"This restaurant should be so much busier! It is great value compared to the chain restaurants in town. The decor is stylish, the staff are very friendly, the menu is great. I had duck breast with duck scotch egg and fondant potato, with side dishes of red cabbage (deliciously sweet and tart at the same time) and carrots with savoy cabbage, beans and broccoli. The scotch egg was so good, perfectly seasoned, runny vivid yolk. The duck breast wasn’t too rare or over cooked, so good. Then chocolate fudge cake with black cherries and ice cream, good combination! The fudge cake could have been a bit richer, gooey-er, but the cherries, sauce and ice cream made it 9/10. Generous cheese board too, no stingy slithers of cheese. Good plum chutney. About £90 for 2 courses for 2 with 2 drinks each."

"We entered the long rectangular room which was slightly separated by the kitchen entrance. We were seated by the window, near the plush bar. We ordered an aperitif of sparkling and a bottle of wine to go with the food. The waiter was professional and suggested the best wine for our taste buds. There were a couple of dishes on the specials board that we fancied but in the end we went for the squid with gremolata chilli and the Pimms cured salmon for starter. These came out swiftly and were well presented. The squid was well cooked and had a slight kick from the chilli. The Pimms salmon was fresh and tasty (I have to say I was not 100% convinced when I saw it on the menu but it was...read more"

"Few visiting canary wharf would not have walked past it but rarely would have sat to have a drink or coffee. What a pity because it surely is a hidden gem! And why? You will most likely always find a couch which in canary wharf is quiet an exception where people jostle for space in packed pubs. It has happy hours from 6 7 each day which is surely unheard of in canary wharf. It is nice and warm and indoors a deal breaker in winter months. Serving time for a drink is less than 5 min. And last but not the least it has a nice vantage point with view of the food court of jubilee place. I am sure it is the closest pub from jubilee line and would beat even all bar one. Where it fails is the limited starter/ snack menu. The only option is slices of pizza. The dining menu is good but I doubt you will be dinning here given the numerous options downstairs. I would highly recommend this place if you haven 't been here."

"I tried the afternoon tea, which was quite standard with four quarter sandwiches, a couple of cakes, and scones for two people. Unfortunately, the scones were a disappointment. The service was fantastic, though, and the atmosphere was lovely once we got used to it, especially after a few glasses of champagne!"

"the other half for his birthday dinner. we went for the 2 curs and three course set menu on £15 and £18. it is valid from Monday to Thursday. that are definitely good value for money. for the head I had laughter and my man had superior to that. both were good, but I think the huh ran it tastefully. had the favorite for dessert, but I was so full that I could not appreciate it so much after the starter of parma ham and melons and the head. my other half had the white bait. I tried a piece, but it's not just my ding. he seemed to enjoy it. the no set menu has many choices, but is also pricier. the waiters were attentive, although the payment of the bill took a little longer than necessary, as it was not so busy. I will probably be back in the near future, but as I am a bargain hunter, will probably stay at the set menu"

"The restaurant had no record of our reservation, which made our special occasion less enjoyable as we had to wait while they scrambled to find us a table. After some time, we were seated at very low tables, which were not comfortable for dining in the afternoon. Overall, it was a disappointing experience."

"The manager needs to do a refresher course on customer service. The restaurant is suppose to be a Lebanese cuisine but had only Indian food as mains? Me and my friends had ordered mocktail and the drinks were literally half a glass, the drinks were overpriced in terms of how much we got. We ordered a shared Tapas and unfortunately it wasn't really sharing Tapas the portion sizes were very small. When trying to discuss this he came across quite arrogant and had very little listening skills. We were extremely upset the way he dealt with things so cancelled our main, however we didn't let this dampen our mood and went to the Turkish restaurant down the road and they really went out of their way to serve us good food, big portion sizes and gave us dessert which was in the house."
