"excellent evening, we sat in the air mens bar, which checked the menu and the wine list about an excellent gin and tonic as we were early. a 3-course menu was presented as the festive season. basic choices of meat, fish and vegetarian, but not an extensive menu, in contrast to the wine list that has a very good choice. eating was tastefully presented with appropriate portion size, some can say small, but it did not let them blossom. we were served hot nuts and warm brot with 3 types of spread, also the blue cheese was declared delicious and we are not fans of blue cheese. we had tomato gazpacho with sun-dried tomatoes and the darkened healed. cod as net and also venison, both cooked to perfection. soufflé on the desert menu and it is always our choice. also cooked for perfection. with rose from proven e and a pint noir from the Loire Valley, our choice. restaurant is very beautiful, tables are not close, piano game from the gallery, attentive service, but not over camp. restaurant was very busy, but they never felt rushed. tee and coffee afterwards with some beautiful petit four and a nightcap. a really nice evening. highly recommended"

"We had an excellent evening at the restaurant. We were seated in the airy bar area and enjoyed reviewing the menu and wine list while sipping on a delicious gin and tonic. We were presented with a three-course menu as it was the festive season. The menu offered a good selection of meat, fish, and vegetarian options, although it was not extensive like the impressive wine list. The food was tastefully presented with reasonable portion sizes, some may find them small but they didn't leave us feeling bloated. We were pleasantly surprised by the warm nuts and bread with different spreads, including a delicious blue cheese spread which we enjoyed despite not being fans of blue cheese. We ordered tomato gazpacho with sun-dried tomatoes and blackened halibut for starters, followed by cod and venison for mains, all of which were cooked to perfection. For dessert, we chose the soufflé, which was also perfectly cooked. We paired our meal with a rose from Provence and a pinot noir from the Loire Valley. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere with well-spaced tables and live piano music. The service was attentive but not overbearing, even though the restaurant was busy. We ended the evening with tea, coffee, petit fours, and a nightcap. Overall, it was a lovely evening and we highly recommend this restaurant."

"SHOCKING TREATMENT Booked table for 6.45, arrived and Bistro empty. Ordered our drinks from the bar and told a man behind the bar that we had booked a table for 6.45. He said that we had not booked as not on the list. And even if we had there was a coach party in the restaurant and there was a 60 minute wait before we could order any food as tge kitchen was very busy. He went to the office to check if we had booked and in the meantime I showed him the email confirmation. When eventually he found our booking he said we should have been told there was a wait for food. We found the staff to be rude and not abit helpful so we left and went elsewhere. When we booked there were many time slots available to us. Obviously they give priority to coach parties over the Bistro and can not cope with catering for both. I did email the hotel and they basically said they do cater for coach parties before other people in their restaurant and bistro. Would never go there again."

"Just not a convincing or special, enough! Service hap hazard. Not enough staff, main course served twice. Some of the staff clearly untrained. Hugely over priced for standard Indian fare that you could get on brick lane or East London. The menu just looked as if it was through together, apart from the desserts which were good. Meat and fish was cooked perfectly, to be fair, but just not that good overall! Nothing special at all! At a price of for two! If your going to charge these prices even on Valentine’s Day! Everything should be slick and the menu impressive. It wasn’t The most annoying thing was the awful standard sitar music, reminiscent of your local high street curry house! Disappointing overall. It’s a shame because visited this restaurant years ago and it was much better, than it was on this occasion."

"This restaurant has no right at serving such eloquent dishes at this price range, so masterfully executed, punching so well above their weight just blew us away with the complexity of flavours and combinations a week later we were still talking about the meal. Vegetarian options: The entirely separate vegan options but would be nice to have vegetarian options as vegan options are very restrictive Service: Dine in"

"Since the change in ownership, the restaurant has been undergoing a slow transformation. However, Alex, the young chef, remains and ensures that the quality of the food is still top-notch. I started with the gruyere tart and would definitely order it again. The confit de canard was delicious, though I believe it could have been cooked a bit longer for a more tender result. My wife experienced some toughness with her octopus, but still enjoyed the flavors. The service was friendly and we have been loyal customers for a while now, and will continue to be in the future."

"Mixed experience. Had a booking, restaurant still on a Monday afternoon, took 5 minutes for someone to come to us at the desk, and when she did she barely said hello, just looked at us with a scowl. After that sat at table for 15 minutes waiting for someone to eat over. Eventually got order in, waitress didn't even ask if we wanted anything to drink. We were there 30 minutes before we actually got a drink. Not really acceptable in a quiet restaurant, that was closing in less than an hour closes early on a Monday. Food was good when it came, and different waitress by now, who was so much better. So a mixed bag. I know staff difficulties at present, but 10 minutes training in fundamentals would help. As would have someone in charge on the floor to ensure paying customers are being looked after. Poor management from what I saw. Pity, as some of the staff were great, others very poor. (Translated by Google) Mixed experience. He had a reservation, the restaurant was quiet Monday afternoon, it took 5 minutes for someone to come and see us at the counter and, when he did, he barely greeted us, he only looked at us with the frown. After that, I sat at the table for 15 minutes waiting for someone to come. I finally got the order, the waitress didn't even ask if we wanted something to drink. We were there 30 minutes before we had a drink. It is really not acceptable in a quiet restaurant, which closed in less than an hour; it closes early on Mondays. The food was good when it came, and now the waitress was different, which was much better. Then a mix of things. I know the difficulties of the staff at present, but a 10-minute basic training would help. Just like having someone in charge on the floor to ensure that the paying customers are treated. Bad management for what I saw. Too bad, since some staff members were great, others very poor."

"I have eaten here a few years ago and it was nice however this mornings breakfast was really disappointing. There is one breakfast option which was good and alternative milk. There’s 1 main meal option and I think also a pizza. There was barely any food on the plate and took over 45 mins for the food (there were maybe 6 or 7 tables in and 3 waitresses). They had also not had their shipment hence the poor portion size, a few things were also missing off our plate. I think this would’ve been better IF we were told but we weren’t unfortunately. I don’t necessarily think this is an accurate representation of the pub but I was very disappointed. Updated from previous review on 2023-08-07"

"we visited pepper during a short holiday break between christmas and new year. it was a quiet night to be a Wednesday, although there were a few larger groups celebrated birthdays and, although we had booked online, there were many tables to choose from. the menu contained some dishes that we had not met before. we had small but beautifully cooked and presented seafood stars. for the main course my partner chose the tandoori lammings that were plentiful and excellent. I had a royal dish that was just as delicious. there was a light mix with our order that was taken on a digital device, which led to us getting a few dishes that we had not requested! However, this was quickly sorted out, with excuses and a free supplement. a very nice meal in a beautiful restaurant."

"We visited today, after previously visiting before, I have to say I was a little disappointed that the menu was majority fish especially with the starters Im not a big fish eater! There was very little option for non fish lovers as a starter except gazpacho soup. Before we even were seated we were kept waiting for 10 minutes to be sat down as a table was making 4 different payments in front of us. When we did eventually sit down the table was incredibly sticky, and despite being asked to be cleaned it needed a deeper clean than that. Food was fairly good, bit disappointed with the chicken burger and the roast the staff were helpful though. You could definitely tell they were short staffed."

"a nice stylish restaurant/bar. came with family to celebrate my son 18th birthday. the family loves the place as the decor was beautiful and it was very up market, stylish and modern. the menu was very simple and was not overly finished, which helped to eat during the choice. yes, the prices were high on some items, but when they visit a special place to special occasions like their son 18 pay their worth that little extra to quality at a beautiful place we did. eating and drinking was beautiful and beautifully presented, children enjoyed their eating and enjoyed his birthday desert. decor was very modern and the restaurant had a nightclub variety, although there was no dancing area. the customer service was great and the staff was friendly. the parking space was on the side of the restaurant so that free parking is available. a problem is the accounting system in which we wanted a table for 8 but the accounting system said that no tables were free, but actually there were areas that we could have accommodated instead of our table for 6. if my little one likes a place, it must be something special. I'm sure it'll be back."

The restaurant feels safe and follows COVID guidelines diligently. It's unfortunate that it's closed again due to lockdown, but it's understandable. We love everything about Granville."

"SO disappointing! When we arrived and said we had a table booked, the table was just pointed out to us. We sat down, but no one brought menus or took a drinks order. After at least 20 minutes one of our party queued at the bar, and when it was his turn to be served was told to sit down and someone would come over. Another 15 minutes went past, then my husband stopped a waitress and asked if we could order drinks. He was told very brusquely that someone would come soon. At this point we would have had our drinks if he'd been allowed to order at the bar, but no, another 15 minute wait. Another waitress spotted that we didn't have menus, so finally brought us some. We had booked a table for 6pm as we had young children with us, but it took so long to order food and drinks, we were there much later than planned. I chose sea bream and saute potatoes, but received sea bream and boiled new potatoes, and when I questioned it, someone eventually came back and said they were saute potatoes (like none I've ever seen or would want I left them). I know it was the time of year, but the place was taken over by huge Christmas parties, which was never mentioned when we booked. Our table was in the bar, so we were surrounded by people standing and drinking, and the noise level was unbearable. When I booked, I said it was for a special birthday, and my son even brought a table decoration with us, so it was obvious what we were celebrating, but no one said a thing about it or tried to make our experience special. We felt like an inconvenience, as obviously they only cared about the Christmas parties. Sadly, this is not my first visit to the Falcon Hotel, but it will be my last, especially as having eaten at another restaurant in Bude the night before where the food was superb and we were treated very well. I know where I will eat in the future."

"Meal was late arriving, the chapatis looked like they were a week old and we just binned them (see photo), the poppadoms were smashed to pieces, there was a lake of ghee on the top of our lamb dish, the tarka dal was bland and...tasteless, the lettuce in the salad was brown and rotting. Very expensive and there’s much better value from restaurants in Tadworth and Banstead."

"The restaurant is a lovely lay out! The staff were lovely, though it felt as though a lot of new staff didn’t make it overly smooth. However they were trying hard, just needed a lot of support. The dinner service was slow, which isn’t easy with kids, but we managed to keep them entertained during the wait. Food itself was nice."

"My friend and I meet up and visit here for a chance to catch up, five or six times a year. We keep returning because we like the atmosphere, we can sit and chat and enjoy our meal in a very pleasant environment. The Menu is very appealing, it seems to vary a bit from season to season. We are yet to try the Steak Night. The Specials are always tempting and we always enjoy our meal. Stay are friendly and service is good. I would recommend this venue for a quiet meal out. We will certainly return."

"Worst things first: I think the service could have been a bit better as the waiters weren't so attentive. It was quite difficult to get their attention. Also I asked for lukewarm water as my wife was ill and we were still served chilled water. I asked for the bill to come with the card reader as we were in a rush and the bill still came alone and we had to ask for the card reader again. Other than this the ambience is really really nice. You get a nice view of Canary wharf and although the pillars block the view a bit, I guess those are required to hold the building up haha so it is what it is. Really nice view which every table can appreciate, beautiful interior design my wife referred to it as having a homely feel. I would definitely come back during the day as Im sure it would like marvellous with the sun coming through the full length windows how much better at sunset!! The food was exquisite too. I had eaten beforehand so didn't eat much: just squid rings and the bread selections. Its small but it goes a long way when restaurants heat up the butter so its soft and spreadable on nice warm and soft bread. The squid rings were good too, not too rubbery like many are these days. My wife had a bit more: the cod on mash with caviar (or just roe, not sure) and fries. The fries were so so nice, perfectly salted and fried. The cod and mash was DIVINEEE. Every bite that I stole from her was eye shut inducing. Perfectly cooked cod that tasted like it came from the sea that very morning, one of the creamiest mashed potatoes I've had in a while and then the caviar/roe to add a certain texture to the after taste. Superb. Excellent restaurant, would definitely recommend and not too bad a price as well considering the high class interior and prime location in Canary Wharf."

"I begrudge having to write this review, however I am appalled by the service (or lack of) from the red lion. I’ve tried to contact them several times and have been ignored, which is especially frustrating since the manger replied to a review a few days ago. We made a booking of 20+ for my partner’s birthday in June. Although the food was lovely, the service was not. Firstly, we were left waiting a while for the food even though it was preordered. Secondly, each person had to go to the bar to order drinks as staff did not take orders from the table even though it was on one tab. They were clearly understaffed on the night, considering the size of our party. Thirdly, there was an issue with the preorder of desserts and some people did not receive a dessert and were not informed until the rest of the group had theirs. The lady dealing with this was also quite rude and did not offer a resolution. Finally, there was a dispute about the bill and I’ve emailed the manager several times as some items cannot be attributed to anyone in the party but have not received a response. Emails were sent on 28/06, 03/07 and 15/07. It really is a shame as we’ve been here before and enjoyed the food, but it is safe to say that none of the party will be returning and the customer service received is unsatisfactory. Again, I would have been happy to resolve this but feel forced to write a review due to the lack of response."
