"Let me tell you about my experience here so I turn up with no booking and get turned away which was fair however, I then go into their app (had a 45 minute wait but I didn’t mind since I am pregnant and was craving it) and made a booking only for one server to call me a liar because he said he stopped new bookings online. He also said that the kitchen was closed only for a lady (assuming the manager) to confirm that I indeed did make a booking and invited me and my party to sit. We were given menus and after literally 1 minute the rude server came to us asking us what we wanted. When we stated we hardly had a chance to look at the menu he sarcastically said take your time the kitchen is closing in 10 minutes. After browsing the menu the manager came to take our order. When the starter (dough balls) arrived they were not cooked correctly, remained the size of tiny pebbles and were blatantly burnt from the outside. I took one look and asked the server if they were being serious with the starter. He didn’t even say anything and took it back to correct the mistake. The second batch came and although it was not up to the normal standards of pizza express I accepted it as it was an improvement and I was hungry. We later received our mains and much later into the meal another table turns up. I was confused as when we first sat down we were told the kitchen would close in 10 minutes so why is it after almost an hour the kitchen is still open for other tables ? I understand that it might have been a long day for the servers however to be called a liar and to be lied to is so unprofessional. So disappointed at the way I was treated"

"I’ve visited Issho many times before and it’s always somewhere I take friends who are visiting from out of town. We have always really enjoyed the food and ambience there. It was a special occasion tonight so my fiancé and I attended just the two of us. Being tapas style dining we are used to them bringing things out as and when it’s ready- but the wait time between all the dishes was so so so long and it was literally one dish coming at a time so we never ate a single one together. We waited a while for all the food and our drinks came even after the food did. I’m also 9 months pregnant at the moment and asked for some water while we waited which never came- we had to ask again for it. This happened with one or two things we had asked for for the table as well. I was still hungry after everything we had ordered had come as by this point we had been seated 2 hours and the food (just 3 small tapas dishes) had all been so spaced out I didn’t feel like I’d really eaten, we decided to stick at it and try and order some more and a dessert atleast- but honestly so long went by without a single person paying attention to our table or even seeing us try to make eye contact that we decided to just go. Even asking for the bill took forever and it honestly seemed like an inconvenience to the server that we needed service/help. Over 2 hours and £100 later for a few small dishes and mocktails. Just a really disappointing experience from a restaurant I have recommended to so many people in the past. The food is always wonderful but it’s hard to enjoy with service so poor like that. I’m never one to complain either, I’ve worked in restaurants myself and always have empathy and understanding during busy periods, but it was very very poor tonight."
