"we had a secret escape break after friends recommended us amberley castle and we were not disappointed. when we arrived, as many people with lunch or afternoon there were no places in the parking lot, this was soon solved as the reception told us where we left our car and we left the key with them and our car was moved as soon as a room was available. our room was amazing, all the staff are excellent and make sure that their stay is the best possible, and what can I say exceptionally. amberley castle is not cheap, but they will certainly get a good value for money when they have a special celebration, this is a place that I recommend and hope to return a day."

"Popped in to try the lunch specials. What can I say... Experienced staff who really know how to look after customers. The food was fantastic. Our veg was cooked to perfection, which isn't the case in many restaurants. The chicken was so good and again, cooked to perfection. I'm not usually a big coffee person however mine was lovely. There's also a really good gluten free menu. I can't recommend the Piccolo Mondo, Renfrew highly enough!"

"fantastic experience. I am pleased to share with you all my fantastic experience in the westcliff seafront. Today we are ready to enjoy a beautiful cocktail and so, we choose aurum restaurant terrace, we had visited it before a long time so why not try again. and yes, but they serve still wonderful cocktails with a fantastic service delivered! After we had greeted, we felt very comfortable and pleasant to be there, so we decided to try the food again and yes, it is quite expensive, but it is worth having the experience. excellent selection of quality drinks; vodka. rum. coffee available. it is ideal to enjoy a great chill out afternoon cocktails on the terrace or evening in the beautiful lounge bar. or if you want to enjoy an elegant dinner in your restaurant, this pleasant time can bring. refresh the touch with comfortable sitting and softer and beautiful lightness. the waitress is professional and participates with a beautiful smile. spotless clean yes, I would like to recommend it aurum restaurant!"

"A fabulous Italian restaurant great atmosphere, fabulous service and food, and lovely staff. A group of six of us had dinner there on Saturday night after seeing Abba Voyage and when the staff heard where we had been they put Abba music on! It was my birthday and although no one in our party had told the staff they overheard us talking and made my dessert extra special with a huge sparkler. We had a great night and will definitely go back."

"The tasting menu was well balanced and the food really extremely good. Whilst waiting staff are very keen to please, the service did seem to slow down as the evening went on. We had an 8pm booking and left at 11.45. It's nice to take time over a meal but after 11pm I admit to being impatient for the last 3 courses to show up and was too tired to really enjoy that last bit sadly. Would be great if it could be done in a 3 hour window especially as the food requirements are predictable. Would recommend albeit would tell friends to be prepared for a long wait. Thankyou Etch."

"Excellent! We spent around four hours here on a Tuesday afternoon sampling their food, savouring their coffee and scabbing their free wifi! I 'll start with the basics. The Refuge is conveniently located on Oxford Street just a two minute walk from the train station. The casual seating area is huge with plenty of places for different sized groups to sit, there 's even an Apprentice Style boardroom table. The vibe is very relaxed but when I entered I noticed a lot of business people (or people clearly working). The decor is fantastic, as mentioned its a huge open space but the dark wooden finish makes it feel close and comfortable. The lunch menu isn 't huge but they clearly want to keep things simple and do them right. I had the beef burger accompanied by skinny fries and it was delicious. Just the right consistency so you could pick it up without it falling apart. It was generously topped with salad and the 'posh big mac ' sauce finished it off nicely. If you want to eat you 'll have to head through to the dining area as they don 't serve food in the lounge beware this was very busy, even on a Tuesday, so you may need to book in advance. After lunch we headed back to the lounge area and had a coffees while we chatted. The coffee was great, I had a flat white which was just off on the good side of bitter. We also ordered snacks later in the day the Almonds cooked in bacon fat are a must try that might sound gross to some people but just wait until the bacon flavour hits your taste buds! To access the free wifi you 'll need to sign up wth your email address but then it 's all yours. I haven 't even received a spammy email a week later. It 's really hard to fault The Refuge the staff were attentive without being too in your face, which I suppose is important when people are using their premises for business meets! All in all a really great experience and a lovely place to spend the afternoon working."

"We had a pre-theatre booking and were made welcome even though we arrived early. We chose the chicken pie for two with one portion of buttered greens. Everything was very good and arrived piping hot and was plenty for the two of us. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We would certainly go again if in the area."

"Food was nice but terrible service, had to approach someone to serve us as tables coming in after were being served before us. Then when we finally got our food we was then ignored for ages after we had finished. Could understand if they was busy for it to take as long as it did but there was about 4/5 tables in there"

"I sat downstairs on a busy Friday night with two friends. The service was perfect. The receptionist was charming. Our waitress was attentive and skilful. We sat at a large communal table. She made helpful suggestions as we chose from the menu, kept our glasses topped up, produced all the dishes on time and was super efficient with our bill. I paid for a bottle of wine and we split the food bill. She gave us 4 separate bills without being asked to. The food was fine, the atmosphere civilised, exactly what you want on a relaxed night out"

"My experience here was terrible. The restaurant looked much nicer from the outside, but inside it was cheap and dirty. We didn't even stay long enough to try the food. When we walked in, we were not shown to our seats and were instead told to "just go sit over there." After sitting for fifteen minutes, we were finally asked for our drink order. One staff member asked another to bring our drinks, but she continued with her tasks and only brought my boyfriend's pint after ten more minutes, leaving me without my drink. When we tried to order, we had to speak loudly to get their attention, but they walked past us to deal with a delivery. After 30 minutes in the restaurant, I still hadn't received my drink or been able to order, so we left. I understand they may have been busy, but as a paying customer, I expect some level of service and professionalism. The terrible service was unexpected, with two particularly unfriendly and unprofessional women who really brought down the atmosphere of the place."

"fade street social had a few different dining rooms, one that on fade street, another that has a look at the kitchen and I also think others upstairs (I didn't eat at the tables above) I was a few times. the service is always excellent, eating amazing (more in a second) with a wine list that compliments what they want to eat, there are also many beer options and cocktails that are as beautiful as they are delicious! now eat that. if you go, you have the chateaubriand! while eating is great, the chateaubriand is phenomenal. don't even think about it. share one of their chateaubriand with whom they are with and try to be polite when they are down on the last disc or not be and take it for themselves! if they still have burst, the pavlowa is the way to dessert"

"The ‘big bagel’ was nice enough as were the chips. Sweet friendly waitress. Please do not order the nachos-they are flavourless and in my opinion the tortilla chips a little stale. Was a little hard work trying to get someone’s attention for the bill. I think they could do with one more member of staff to keep things running more smoothly eg clearing tables, wiping down seats and supplying the bill more promptly. I voiced my opinion at the time re the nachos but was met with a vacant stare and a ‘no ones ever complained about them before ‘. They bizarrely offered to take 10% off the cost of the nachos. A more commercially savvy response would have been ‘so sorry you didn’t like the nachos Ill take them off the bill as you’ve barely touched them. Hope to see you again next time’ There’s lots of competition in the area who in my opinion offer waaay better service. I believe the owner was behind the counter at the time who took no ownership of the situation-that was a shame but hey ho that’s why some businesses succeed and others don’t stand the test of time."

"The hotel bar area is a pleasant place to have a drink before your meal, with comfortable seating, suitable music at comfortable volume and interesting black and white photographs. The bar staff seemed busy and it was several minutes before anyone acknowledged us seated at the bar waiting to order drinks. The meal itself was very good, cooked well and well presented. The service was a little slow and we did wonder if they were understaffed on our Thursday night. We made several attempts to catch the eye of any member of staff fleeting by in order to ask about the menu, more water, more bread etc. No one came to 'see how we were getting on ' or if we required anything else. Topping up of glasses was done by staff on 1-2 occasions only. However, the staff were pleasant and smartly dressed. The toilet facilities were excellent. Overall, I would dine again."

"The food took a long time to arrive; we had to inquire about it after noticing that 15 plates were waiting to leave the kitchen. Some members of our party were close to leaving due to the long wait, but an employee informed us it would be just five more minutes. The only restroom available was a disabled toilet, and our original server promised to notify us when it was free, but that never happened. When our food finally arrived, it was decent, but the mac and cheese was nothing like what I had seen on Instagram—it might have suffered from sitting under a heat lamp for too long. I don't blame the kitchen for the delay, but it was disappointing that no one brought the food to our table in a timely manner. It's a shame that our visit did not meet our expectations, especially since we were looking forward to it. Overall, the service put a damper on our experience."

"We went for a family meal last Friday. Unfortunately there was a series of power cuts in the area which blacked out most of the nearby businesses, but somehow The Highland carried on! The food was lovely and served with good humour from the staff under very difficult conditions. We were even given a bottle of wine as we left! Highly recommended for food, service and value but slightly lacking in ambience."

"The staff were all extremely pleasant and attentive without being too intrusive. Due to the restaurant being fairly empty, we had multiple members of staff with which to deal, though this just ensured speedy service rather than errors being made. Whilst the menu choice was not the best, there were a sufficient number and type of dishes from which to choose, so that everyone in the group (4 of us) was happy with the options. The tapas portions were large enough that we all had a decent taste of each, and apart from the traditional Pide (which received no likes) the consensus was that the food was tasty All in all we had a very enjoyable meal, which, with a cocktail each and two bottles of wine came to a very reasonable £225 (with service charge) ."

"This place was a big let down i think all the five star reviews are from people who don't know how good vegan food tastes like. Also they seem not to know how to keep things stocked, over the course of the evening i've heard no less than five times they ran out of one thing or another. Even the beer i asked about, i was told they haven't had that in months?? This restaurant is what happens when trendiness is more important than food quality not to mention the small portions my partner and I had to order three mains and a starter and we still ended up leaving not full. Our first mains we shared, it was a mexican dish and they included FOUR WHOLE tortilla chips for the entire bowl. four... we went through all four in a minute or two and still had a bit left in the bowl, so we asked if we could perhaps get some more, but the waitress proceeded to lose the sense of urgency and by the time she had finished taking someone else's order, we had already finished the plate. one of the cocktails had a very peculiar aftertaste, the desert wasn't all that, tasted like a sponge (was supposed to be cheesecake) and the hot chocolate was rubbish too (seriously how can you screw that up? oh right, vegan cream).. this is what happens when you try to imitate non vegan dishes as vegan things, just why? and then we ended up getting the bill and it was a bit of a shock how much was spent for how little we received. someone's really trying to cashing in on the vegan crazy really just one disappointment after another, i won't consider coming back to this place nor recommending it to anyone else."
