"Booked for my husbands birthday. We have got engaged at this place 3 years ago so it was a lovely evening for us. The staff were very polite and helpful. We will definitely visit again. We also enjoyed the surprise birthday cake at the end. Delicious and elegant ambiance. Would recommend to anyone. Well done team!"

"The place was nice and we was seated at our table, we had to ask for a Drinks Menu. We ordered our meals, starters and mains, the starters were nice apart from the scotch egg which had no runny egg( but was told beforehand that this was down to the bird flu) we ordered the OX cheek, 2 Wagu burgers and a fillet steak.. the ox cheek was very nice.. however the 2 wagu burgers, we wasn't even asked how we would like these before ordering and to come out and they were both burnt!.. The fillet steak was ok, but the meat had been cut in half to see if they had cooked it correct..the only reason we didn't complain is that we were receiving the food at 50%... the service wasnt the best.. TBH I dont normally write reveiws but Felt I had to on this occasion"

"After being first shown a table away from everyone else in another empty room and then another table that was for 8 people in the main restaurant the staff found the three of us a nice table in the restaurant. There were only three other tables occupied!! A strange experience!!! The food was good and the service attentive although I didn’t like the very long thumbnail on the waiter!!! A little off putting. My three haddock croquettes (starter) were produced in a tiny bowl with no lettuce leaves or any trimmings. They tasted good though. The tiny bowl wasn't even sitting on a plate. It just seemed a strange way to present a starter. We ate on a Thursday lunchtime so perhaps the chef that day needed a little training in presentation! My haddock in batter was tasty and the other two people had steak slicers in sourdough. They said that it was good. I would recommend this restaurant but perhaps insist on a decent table."

"Food was amazing as usual. Service really let it down this visit. There was not one thing we didn’t have to ask for. Had to ask for kids menu, sat for about 15 minutes with no one coming over, had to ask for them to take our order, baring in mind there was multiple staff stood around. Kids meal meant to come with tortilla chips that never came, they ordered ice cream each for dessert and it came in the same bowl? Not ideal for a 2 year old and a 7 year old, so ended up putting one on a plate. There was nothing major wrong, just very reactive staff rather than proactive. When 10% of the bill is service charge you expect at least average service"

"Came especially for the vegan menu (I’m vegetarian as I heard good things about it. Drove from Lisburn all the way to Parkgate and had 2 very enjoyable nights. First night I had the cauliflower popcorn (bit too salty for my liking and the sweet potato roulade (amazing! . My husband had the soup of the day (very nice and the risotto (little bit stodgy, looked as if cooked too quick . For dessert I had the apple/berry crumble which was very nice and husband had sticky toffee (also gorgeous! . Decaf oat latte’s at the end sealed the deal. Just delighted to be able to order a good decaf coffee! Next evening returned with a friend. I had the salted chilli stir fry (verrry salty, but that’s what it says on the tin and the cauliflower pie. The pie was a bit of a let down. The gravy was overbearing, essentially, the whole dish tasted of gravy. I would have preferred to get it in a dish on the side (like with the roulade to add the amount I prefer myself. Same desserts again this evening, both again very nice. Service was ok, young girls mainly and you could tell some were a bit inexperienced but that really didn’t impact us. Food came out super quick! I will def be back, altho I won’t be ordering the pie again and I hope next time I will be able to try the “scallops” as they were sold out both nights (sat 6pm and sun 7.30pm and they just sounded amazing! If your hesitating to go for the vegan menu, don’t!! It’s the best vegan offering I have encountered to date. I really hope they keep it up."

"We had an absolutely magical evening. It was my friend's birthday and Veronica and Rhiannon took care of us so well! Veronica was excellent with her suggestions and recommendations, not to mention her humor and hospitality as a whole! We smiled and laughed all the time. Rhiannon was so beautiful and friendly to us, so patient with all the small inquiries and made the night so smooth for us. She even helped us make some amazing pictures to perpetuate the experience. The food was brilliant; absolutely delicious, came in good time, and very well prepared. Compliments to the bosses! Special word for the Lychee Sorbet and Yuzu ice, for dying. Also the beautiful birthday desert they gave us was fantastic! Overall a brilliant experience 20/10"

"I've visited this restaurant several times before and decided to choose it again because we had an overseas guest who arrived first. Unfortunately, she was greeted by a rather unfriendly lady who informed her that the table wasn't ready, even though she arrived on time. I arrived shortly after and encountered the same staff member, who brusquely instructed me to wait at the bar since the table was still unavailable. This was quite different from my previous experiences here, as the rest of the staff has always been wonderful. It was disappointing to face such a gruff welcome, which was not at all in line with my past visits."

"I’ve always loved the atmosphere and food at Blakes and the service has always been good. My experience was awful last Saturday though. Ambience and food were fantastic as always but the service was really bad. Extremely slow, we got served drinks about 40 mins after we sat having to ask for the drinks menu 3 times. The waitress was obviously a trainee with no idea about cocktails or wine. Not what you expect at a £100 per person restaurant. All else including the people at reception and cloakroom was flawless."

"I didn't settle the bill, so I can only guess about that. My employers take space in Nova north, and London based colleagues recommended you, so as a firm, I expect we are with you regularly. We were served by a slim young lady who was Greek. She was very very good indeed. My 2 clients are not fussy people, and are long since retired, but they too thought she was fantastic, and I suspect that a hefty tip was given. Don't let her leave!!"

"We had a wonderful lunch at B12! The staff greeted us warmly and the cozy interior made us feel comfortable. Some of us ordered the fish and chips, I had the chorizo hash, another had the pie, and someone else had the eggs Benedict. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals as they were delicious! Although there was a slight delay in receiving our food due to our party of 6, it was worth the wait. The only small issue was that the potatoes in my dish tasted a bit old, but everyone else had no complaints. Overall, we loved our experience and would definitely come back again."

"We visited here today for our wedding anniversary meal. We’ve been regulars for special occasions for around 10 years now so it was a no brainer to visit again as the food has always been amazing. Sadly this would be our last visit. On arrival we were greeted by new faces. Turns out there’s new ownership, we obviously weren’t aware of this. We cannot fault the staff at all because they were all lovely and welcoming. Good start. Sadly the menu has changed a lot and many of our fave items were no longer on the menu. We ordered chicken empanadas for starters. They tasted the same as before but instead of using chicken breast it was now chicken mince. Not as tasty or worth the price in our opinion. For our main we both ordered fillet steak at over £30 a piece. My husbands was cooked perfectly (well done . Mine was not. I ordered medium and it arrived medium rare. Maybe even more rare as I attempted to eat it. The meat wasn’t even red in colour, it was a purple tone and it was so rare and wobbled like jelly on my plate. I ended up not being able to stomach more than 50% of it. And to top it off it had 0% flavour. Maybe the chef needs to season the meat in future. The chimichurri was spot on but my husbands peppercorn sauce was rank. It was a strange sloppy grey substance. Never before in my life have I seen grey peppercorn sauce! My husband soon regretted pouring it over his steak which then made it inedible. Ordered the garlic and parsley roasted potato side at around £5. It arrived as 3 large roasted wedges with a small amount of green sauce dribbled on the top! Bland and awful. I’m actually offended by this side in particular. The roasted red pepper however was lovely. But how hard could that one be to get right. My husband did however enjoy one part of his meal and that was the prawn starter. So well done for that one I guess. Still not enough to justify the amount of money we’d just been robbed of. We only had soft drinks with our meal so didn’t spend much on those but the total bill came in at just over £150. I can honestly say it was the biggest waste of money ever. Shocking food to say the least. In my opinion and advice to any regulars out there please steer clear. Sad to say after so many visits over the past decade, we will never return here. Any recommendations for a new steak house would be welcomed! :"

"forest hill weinte for a new restaurant, since we moved there almost three years ago we are spoiled for choice with amazing coffee shops, and decent breakfast, brunettes and lunches are easy to find. but with so many of the dinner choices of pubs or places better known for takeaways, there is a selection dedicated to somewhere only for dinner. it was therefore not surprising to see the perry vale, which takes its name from the road on which it appeared, constantly rammed in the short time it opened. but do the diners go there to try it curious, or because 5heyve already belongs good things? we were on Thursday. the bookable tables were all gone, but...read more"

"in the front of the londoner restaurant festival (lrf), a group of eat and weinautoren and I were on a gastronomic tour of five etm group’s establishments. only for one day, the 5th October 2011, they can experience the same trip as part of the lrf for only £60 per person including five courses in five different venues plus fine wee, cocktails and transport. more information you will find on the website of the london restaurant festival . image courtesy of paul Winch-Furness whenever I visit the bars of Spain or Italy I feel a bittersweet admiration for their use to serve delicious small tellers with their drinks, and as any bar is known for their special offers. this is a habit...read more"

"The food was average to good and the tv ice was horrendous. We went here the last night before lockdown for my dads birthday and was utterly disappointed. We had to wait at least mins at the entrance to even be noticed. Once...noticed they were miserable and just strolled across to the table. We had minimal service if not any to be perfectly honest. They bought the main course over before taking the starter plates away. They never asked if our food was ok and my dads steak was blue when he had asked for it to be medium but decided to have it anyway on the basis he couldn’t get anyone’s attention. They didn’t have of the things on the menu and it’s quite a small menu to start with. The only thing they did right was bring a birthday plate over for pudding which I had phoned up about before but had to remind the waiter for it as they had forgotten. They then automatically add service charge into the bill which we did reduce due to the lack of service and the waitress asked why we were not paying the full service charge we explained and she didn’t even seem to care. WILL NOT BE RETURNING ANY TIME SOON."

"I have not been to Scilly for some years this restaurant as On the Quay, was new to me. Lovely ambiance, terrific staff excellent food., would highly recommend! I've read some of the recent reviews below cannot believe they have been to the same place. I feel very sorry for the owner staff who work so hard to try please everyone. Why would someone say they have waited for 1.5 hrs for a starter, when they didn't? My experience was very positive indeed. Watching the restaurant during service, the whole place ran like a well oiled machine. Totally efficient, very attentive service (without being overwhelming), each member of staff dovetailing in with their colleagues. I thought the portions were of a very good size (i had the seafood skewer a healthy appetite there was enough fish for me). So, thank you On the Quay, a very pleasant evening, I will definately be back another year!"

"It was ok but wouldn’t be in a rush to return. Firstly we wasn’t greeted that great was just told our table wasn’t ready so we then walked over to the bar area. Once seated we was asked about 5 times within the first ten minutes which drinks we would like to order even though we was told a drinks menu was being brought over after 15 mins we was then given a drinks menu then after ordering it took around 15 -20 mins for drinks to arrive we then ordered our starters and mains which took around 40 minutes for the starters to arrive then shortly after we were asked twice if our mains should be brought out after not even being half way through our starter dishes. Once our mains were severed shortly after we was told we had only ten mins left on the table which wasn’t correct as we still had 35 mins after speaking to 4 different waiters and proving my booking time they eventually agreed for us to have the table to the correct time which even then didn’t feel like they wanted us to because of all the rushing at this point we didnt even want to stay. I would say the food was lovely but the staff let the experience down majorly like I say it’s nice but I would be in no rush to return"

"nice venue, personal attentive and very friendly. very busy for a Thursday who gave a good atmosphere. I ordered the butter chicken, looked gr8 out, but the chicken was very hard, so was overboiled, unusual for an Indian restaurant. the aromen were beautiful. we have the set £25 menu that was a good value. not many options for diners who are ceoliac and need gluten-free food, which was very disappointing. they had no separate frit so that non-glue-containing menu items were excluded due to cross-contamination. I would expect a Michelin Star cook to take the time to ensure that diners with food allergies have the same choice."

"We had made a reservation at the brasserie for our New Year's dinner and received confirmation that everything was set for the big night. However, when we arrived, there was no one in sight! They had an event going on and had closed the restaurant without updating their booking system or the Opentable Register. It was a complete disappointment and ruined our plans for the evening. We had to return to our hotel room and order food instead. It was surprising that such a mistake could happen so easily and we were left feeling embarrassed and disappointed with our NYE experience. Hopefully, this won't happen to anyone else in the future!"

"We had made a reservation at the brasserie for our New Year's Eve dinner, and we received confirmation, so we were all set for a great evening. However, when we arrived, there was no one in sight! It appeared that they had an event and closed the restaurant without updating their booking system or OpenTable. The place was completely shut down, and our plans for the night were ruined. We ended up going back to our hotel room to order takeout. We are really shocked that such an establishment could make such an easily preventable mistake. It was quite embarrassing, and our New Year's Eve was definitely underwhelming. Please ensure this doesn't happen again!"
