Restaurants that offer Bloody Shame

"The experience was good overall. Unfortunately there was a few downfalls. The starters came out extremely quick and the sausage was overcooked (burnt). No one checked to see if the food was ok and the plates were taken away with addressing us. The mains were nice but WELL over seasoned, half way through the steak had to stop to take on water. We also had an additional dish put on our table that we hadn't ordered. I did say we would keep it (as it looked nice) but the waiter just took it away. the desserts were really nice and the non alcoholic cocktails were fantastic."

"The staff is always very friendly and friendly. Unfortunately, the steaks we received, both Sirloin, but one was very poor quality and fat throughout the whole piece, like a ribeye. Waiters tried to sort it our and new, but extremely boiled, I would say Rare best. We traded steaks because it doesn't make me too much. They removed this steak from the bill, which had slightly improved the evening. I hope it's a one-off."

"I often come to gaucho and to say I was disappointed last night would be an understatement. My fiancé and I both ordered fillet steak, well I have never seen a cut of fillet steak as flat as the ones we had and the taste wasn’t great either. The chips were over cooked and we couldn’t eat them, the peppercorn sauce was so watery and didn’t taste anything like peppercorn, I couldn’t finish my meal. I wanted to make a complaint on the night as I wasn’t prepared to pay for my main meal but my fiancé told me to rather write a review afterwards as he finds things like that a little embarrassing. The starter was lovely but you can’t really go wrong with bread butter and the dessert was also ok. Very disappointing as we love gaucho but we won’t be going back there in a hurry. I’m not sure if you have changed management, but a friend of mine said they went to to the one in Tower Hill not long ago and they were also very disappointed. Seems like a lot has changed which is a real shame."

Gaucho Richmond

➤ The Towpath, Richmond, United Kingdom

Full • Wine • Steak • Pasta

"Being immediately after New Year and early in the week, the restaurant was only moderately busy and comfortably accommodated our party of 8. The service was attentive and the food was good, albeit expensive especially when one adds in side dishes [chips, vegetables etc] each circa £4 to accompany the main courses. My main gripe is that the wine list is expensive, with the cheapest wines at £35 and rapidly rising thereafter for wines that aren't particularly special, which in turn bumps up the service charge."

Gaucho Sloane

➤ 89 Sloane Avenue, London, United Kingdom

Full • Wine • Steak • Dessert

"New Years Day the restaurant was busy but didn't feel crowded, Groucho position the tables with respectful space. Our waiter was outstanding, he gave us so much attention from helping us with off menu cocktails and wine selection, to patiently talking us through the meat cuts. We opted for steaks, which came cooked to perfection (not easy to get medium rare perfect but the chef nailed it) with all the sauces which where equally incredible. Advice leave some room for dessert, Sticky toffee, cheesecake and cookie dough are all highly recommended."

Gaucho Manchester

"We visited Gaucho as part of an overnight stay to Manchester. We have heard amazing things about this restaurant and we were not at all disappointed. From the service, to the menu to the food and wine, everything was beautiful. It was a special occasion for us so we were there for the experience rather than thinking about a budget as it is a little more expensive than other restaurants but it was so worth it we would certainly visit again. Thank you for such a lovely visit x"

"I spent a wonderful afternoon in Gaucho with friends. We had a long relaxing lunch and we were not rushed in any way. I have been to several other London restaurants recently where the atmosphere has felt too clinical. I know it’s difficult in Covid times however we are still human beings and a warm friendly environment helps us feel special as well as being assured a “safe” visit. The service, the food and the atmosphere were all excellent. Well done Gaucho"

Gaucho Tower Bridge

"We went as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children. I must admit the experience was pretty disappointing. The steak was a little over cooked, the chips were soggy (they must have been sitting under the heater for a long time) and the ribeye could have been a lot more tender. Burger was good value, chicken Milanese was over cooked. Service was great and ambience enjoyable. It’s a nice looking restaurant and a seat near the window is recommended, there is always something to look at. Probably won’t rush back."

1 Lombard Street Brasserie

"Overall we were very disappointed with our experience. Seated at 13.00 and wine eventually brought at 14.20. No vegetarian option? How can this be in 2021! Our vegetarian guest had to ask what could be provided; the best they could do was a bowl of pasta with some broccoli on top (hardly acceptable for a City of London eatery in this modern era). When the food did arrive the order had been incorrectly taken and one of the group had to have the chicken instead of the fish that he had ordered. Some of the group were happy with their main courses but others complained that their dishes were quite bland. It is unlikely that we shall return."

"This restaurant is a hidden gem in a remote location. The decor and atmosphere are charming, and the menu is enticing. The only downside was that one of us ordered the chicken dish, which was small and not very satisfying despite being one of the most expensive items on the menu. On a positive note, the bread and butter pudding was absolutely delicious!"

"There were 12 of us, which is always a challenge for a restaurant but we gave 2 months notice. Bad impression on entry with a a greeter whose whole body language was negative offering us menu cards which were already on the table which the maitre d' loudly reminded her of. The restaurant was stifling hot and we had to ask for windows to be opened weird? Service was shambolic 90 minutes to get the first course 2 1/2 hours to have 2 courses we gave up after that. The Maitre d' looked harassed although well meaning, the greeter became unacceptably rude while the situation was saved by a young man who would be a credit to any restaurant. The food well many of us had the Frito Misto which turned out to comprise one type of fish after a little back and forth the maitre d' accepted that what was served wasn't as described and did not charge us generally the cooking was just so so (strangely tasteless scallops for example) although the whole bream was as one would expect in a Mark Hix restaurant the only thing sadly. Something currently just isn't right with this restaurant given its proud pedigree."

"Great place for a bite to eat, not greatly expensive but worth every penny for the quality of food put out! The blaggis bon-bons are highly recommend as a starter.Staff are great, friendly and approachable folks. No weird request is too much, very happy to help.Very open and clean decor with views right onto the esk, sitting in the main room a feature is made of a giant bookcase and open beams right to the ceiling giving the papermill a light and airy feeling. I'd be happy just to chill here with a book and some more of the lovely latte.In total less than 50 squid for a very pleasant afternoon of two starters, a main and a pudding plus drinks. Great value in these hard times.Th is is also a dig friendly place where pooches of all sizes can be accommodated and loved on by everyone!Thanks for lovely food and a great atmosphere!"

"For the love of god, if you like food, don't eat here. I never leave bad reviews, but this place pushed me over the edge. We went on a Monday for the £25 4 course special set menu. The server asked if we wanted it all at once. I said no, we are sharing the courses but want it course by course. It came all at once: the samphire and wakame salad which was just wakame and the only really good dish; the cauliflower poppers which were perfect, except the sickly sweet maybe barbecue sauce maybe ketsup; the dry chicken with lovely mushroom leeks covered by a wasabi peppercorn cream sauce so revolting we literally scraped it off despit our love of wasabi; and the pork belly which would have been delish if not burned. What didn't come was the rice or first course mushroom salad which were delivered after asking only three times. And the mushroom salad was some conction of baby greens and dried mushrooms with a tahini dressing that we could only describe as gross. The entire meal was accompanied by easy listening versions of 70s to 90s hits best belong in a bank elevator and indifferent wait staff. Desperate to leave, and not fond of sweets, I declined the dessert course only to have the (more senior? waiter (who noticed my desperation? pressure me into eating. Nope. I think this might be the first one star I've given... I try to only review what I love but was so amazed by how very terrible the food and service was here I wanted to let others know: not worth your time or money."

The Royal Oak Inn

"My evening at the Royal Oak Was pleasant but Service was very slow. Waiting quite a while to be served and when served orders were not out through properly which meant we was waiting for food which we thought had been ordered but it hadn’t. With no app to order off, it was quite hard to get the attention of the staff when the music was quite loud and we was tucked away in the corner so not in eye vision. On the other hand All the staff was lovely and the booking process was easy. Very accommodating."

"one of the best Japanese restaurants I was. what a tasty bite and must sit directly on the back of the restaurant. at the arrival were the staff super friendly and very helpful with the menu and drink choice, it was a smooth experience. I stayed until the end when the time passed. an excellent selection of dresses to choose from, sushi to grill meat and directly over the board. cocktails are so delicious, and a nice effort was made by them. transport, easy to park in and around the opposite and north dulwich station is just around the corner. overall, very nice and I hope they have the same experience or make them want to go. solid a ldt x"

"It's taken me a week or so to write this review as I've felt mixed about what to say. We stayed here for two nights because it was a convenient base to visit relatives who live nearby. Maybe it was initially a bit of shock as I hadn't seen the rooms beforehand (my husband booked) but they need some updating and needed a deeper clean as the grout in the shower was quite stained and the bedside tables were dusty. That being said I've still given 4 stars as the staff were perfectly pleasant in the bar and restaurant and the food was lovely. For the price in London it wasn't completely horrible and breakfast was included which had plenty of choice and was nice. We ate dinner one evening and the fish and chips were delicious and the bar has a great selection of drinks including some of my favourite beers on tap. To summarise I feel like as a hotel I wouldn't return but as a bar/restaurant I would."

"An excellent traditional restaurant that is a delight to visit. The tables are beautifully set with linen tablecloths and napkins, and even hand towels are provided in the restrooms. The service is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. However, the highlight of the visit is undoubtedly the food. We opted for the Friday night menu, where each dish offered a unique twist on the usual selections. All the appetizers we tried were outstanding. For the main course, I particularly enjoyed the mercer pie, which featured a flavorful combination of steak and mushrooms encased in a delicate pancake, served alongside roasted potatoes and baby carrots. Two of us chose hot desserts, while the two gentlemen at our table were too full and instead decided to go for ice cream. We shared a bottle of Prosecco and one of Malbec among the four of us, and our total came to £28, plus service."

"이 리뷰는 한국어와 영어로 쓰였습니다. This reciew is written in both Korean and English. 포트넘 앰 메이슨 차를 사려고 방문한 곳인데 피카딜리쪽보다 확실히 사람도 적고 조용한 분위기라 편하게 쇼핑할 수 있어요. 그리고 정말 정말 직원분이 친절함!!! 부담가지도 않으면서도 자세히 설명해주고 잘 응대해주셔서 쇼핑하는 내내 매우 기분이 좋았습니다 이름을 못 물어봐서 어떤 직원분인진 모르겠지만 ㅠ 지금까지 돌아다닌 유명한 기념품 쇼핑 플레이스 중에서 그 분 응대가 제일 좋았습니다. 피카딜리쪽보다는 아무래도 관광객이 덜 와서 그런 것 같긴 해요. 차 종류는 제 기억으로는 따로 패키지에 골라서 파는 것 말고 일반 틴케이스로 파는 건 다 있습니다. 특별한 건 여기에서만 파는 royal exchange blend가 있는데 전 royal blend보다 더 맘에 들어서 그걸로 삼 ㅎㅎ 그리고 이 매장이 포트넘 앤 메이슨 매장 중에 가장 최근에 생긴 지점이라네요. 깨끗한 곳에서 비교적 차분하게 쇼핑하실 분은 추천드립니다! I went this place to buy Fortnum Mason tea for presents and this place is definitely better place to buy teas than the one in piccadilly. The staffs here are super friendly which made the whole shopping experience extremly satisfying. It is much less crowded than the piccadilly store so you can take your time. If you are not up to buy the Rare teas which are only offered in individual packaging, you would be able to find everything you want. Also you can buy in individual packaging for normal teas if you want to. It has a special blend named Royal Exchange Blend only sold in this store. I prefer this one to the original royal blend. This store is the latest built one among the Fortnum Masons so it is super clean. I highly recommend this place!!!"
