"We arrived for a family birthday and were seated and had a drinks order taken. Myself and another one of the party ordered a blackberry gin with lemonade, the waitress then came back to inform us that they had no blackberry gin left so offered us black cherry which we were happy to have, they were then brought to us for us to discover they had used tonic as the mixer instead of lemonade, annoying but not worth making a fuss. We then ordered food, with one of the party being vegan, she opted for the vegan nachos to start and the vegan Cajun burger. The waitress then came back to inform us that there was no vegan cheese so would she want it without which she accepted. Our starters came after a wait but were enjoyable, we then had our mains which were a completely different story. Our veggie Cajun burgers were black and burnt, had dry buns and had very hard chunks throughout inedible. There was also no vegan slaw as listed and the portion size of the chips was poor. We didn’t get a table check and had to grab the attention of a waiter to inform him that we weren’t able to eat them, he was polite and apologetic and took them back to the kitchen but we weren’t offered anything else to eat. Another member of the party had the breakfast burger with the most rubbery fried egg, definitely left and reheated. As he made it to the kitchen we overheard the waitresses asking him if we wanted desserts repeatedly, feeling very much like they wanted us gone ASAP as they were all focused on cleaning up instead of attending to tables. When they brought us the desert menu we all found something we’d like, but again no one checked on us for a good 15 20 minutes, by which point we just wanted to go. Strange considering how eager they sounded to get us out of the door. We asked for the bill, with the Cajun burgers thankfully taken off, but still an expensive meal considering the poor experience. Incredibly dissatisfied with both the food and the service and we will definitely not be returning."

"Have not been to the Chop House for years but really enjoyed my last visit. All members of staff we came across with were very friendly and efficient. The food was delicious as usual. We opted in for a set menu and I had a mackerel salad which reminded me of Niçoise salad, with an egg, plenty of mackerel and French beans, my friend enjoyed Haggis fritters. For the main I had a ham hock which came with thick cut chips, they were crispy from the outside and fluffy inside and runny yolk duck egg, absolute perfection. Dessert was a classic Sticky toffee, I have had it many times in the past and was pleasantly surprised that the recipe hasn't changed, it is absolutely delicious, generous portion swerved with vanilla ice cream and toffee sauce. We really enjoyed our meal and service from the moment we arrived and left. Thank you"

"bookable for 3, which a child, turned to find over 20 people outside waiting for entry. from others waiting in wait, a mistake was found in the booking system so that all table bookings were accepted, but they did not honor any of them. it had come first, served first. over 20 minutes asked, and the feedback from customers who go, it was 2 hours to eat dinner dinner, since service was slow. even if we have made it inside, that a handwritten statement on the wall said that the card machine was broken, so that only cash would be accepted. was there with a child and had booked before the concert later in the evening. decided after 45 minutes waiting time that we had to go to another place to make sure we had a dinner before the concert. at no time has anyone from the restaurant talked to the people in the waiting queue while we were there. a great experience. will not be able to reserve table again if this is how they treat people."

"Having a coffee at this café was reminiscent of being in Tel Aviv. Noisy traffic, people speaking on their phones in Ivrit, orthodox Jews strolling by and a laid back atmosphere. Even the plumbing was very Israeli. The toilets were very clean but the taps were coming away from the sink. It was a cold day in August, which is definitely not typical of Israel and we were seated outside as a Covid precaution. The friendly staff did offer at least twice to turn on the external heaters which would have been nice, but when we left some 20 minutes later the heaters had still not come on. Well it's the thought that counts ....."

"I had the pleasure of being served breakfast by Faith during my stay at the Dakota Hotel, and I must say that her service was exceptional. Faith was not only attentive but also incredibly helpful throughout my stay. She went above and beyond to ensure that I had a wonderful dining experience each morning. Her warm and friendly demeanor added a special touch to my stay, making it truly memorable. I greatly appreciate her dedication to providing outstanding service, and I highly recommend Faith to anyone visiting the Dakota Hotel. Thank you, Faith, for making my stay so enjoyable!"

"One of our favorites in Edinburgh. We always start off our week at the Fringe here and every time we're impressed by the menu, ingredients, service and wine selection. This place is a hidden gem which many locals don't know about, don't miss out if you're in Edinburgh!!!"

"We used to frequent this pub often in the past, but heard that it had changed ownership, so we decided to meet our friends here. We were excited to catch up with friends we hadn't seen in a while. However, when we arrived, my husband inquired about their ale selection and was informed they only had Harveys with no other options. The server who brought our drinks had dirty fingernails, which was off-putting. When it came time to order food, one of our friends asked about a Christmas menu and was told it needed to be pre-ordered, as stated on their website. Despite our frequent visits in the past, we had not checked the website. The food was tasty, but the service was lacking. We had to request drinks and were not asked about our meals once they arrived. At 9:40, a lady approached us with the bill and informed us they were closing soon. When we asked for another drink, we were denied. My husband requested to remove the service charge, which caused some tension with the lady taking payment. She questioned why he wouldn't pay it, stating that everyone charges it, which we found rude. Overall, the poor service has discouraged us from returning or recommending the pub to others, despite the delicious food. It's disappointing, as we had hoped the new management would focus on attracting and retaining customers."

"We've drank and eaten in this pub since moving to the area 8 years ago. It's always had potential, with a seperate dining room, bar and outside area but nobody has ever put the effort in... Until Now! Visiting today, the dining area has been re-decorated, pool table re-surfaced, new TVs, outside area going through a refit etc. New beer lines being added.. This should soon be a contender to the popular locals Red Lion and Markeaton. Bar staff always friendly and approachable, great family pub. Speaking to the new manager, it's clear he cares about the pub doing well, and is already putting in the hard work. It's a Stonegate pub, so you get the great food and prices and regular updates to the menu. I mean who can go wrong with a alcoholic drink and burger for less than £10! Weely quiz every Thursday which you can do on your smartphone and play for big prizes nationally. Keep up the good work and we wish you every success for the future"

"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."

"What a delicious dover sole I had. The salad was really fresh and the king prawns in olive oil and garlic sauce was impressively tasty. Toilets are immaculately clean, the owner is polite and attentive. Really fancy set up and service. Dont you love fine dining? Proper Napkins and crisp white table cloth chateu neufe red was also a delight for my taste buds. It was a business dinner but will go back I think."

"Mildreds is a staple of the London Vegan Scene. I can't believe I’m only writing a review of it now We went to the branch in Soho before watching Les Mis and decided to just share a few of the small plates instead of having a big plate and some starters, as we would normally do. You get to try a lot more things this way, and their small plates are delicious! Honestly, there wasn't anything we ate that I wouldn't order again, but there were definitely a couple of standouts that I hope they never take off the menu. Topping the list is their Sweet Potato Leek Tortelloni, which comes with a lovely leek cream that is somehow both rich and smooth. Also amazing is their Whipped F'ta topped with roasted cherry tomatoes and oregano which is just perfect to dip their grilled pita on. There's still so much on their menu that I haven't tried. I absolutely must go again soon! Overall: 9.5/10 Fully Vegan What we ate: "

"we came here for a quiet drink and stayed for dinner. the pizzas had to die. I had my dog with me and asked if they had something for them. they rusted a nice little food for them, and went over one beyond that we were happy. Actually, the service was impeccable. I will go back to any event when I visit London/Twickenham."

"I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The lunch menu had limited choices and the prices were high considering the quality and portion sizes for my three young children. The adult meal I ordered, which consisted of tasteless soup and a cheese sandwich on stale white bread with a small amount of lettuce, cost £11, which I found outrageous. The total bill came to £60.50, and when I complained to the staff about the disappointing meals, I was only offered a £5 discount, the price of the soup. The manageress did not seem interested in addressing my concerns. I usually don't complain when dining out, but in this case, I felt that the lunch options and prices at this otherwise beautiful hotel were a letdown."

"I'll start with the positives Large portions Friendly staff . . . That's about it really. Food tastes average, not authentic despite their claims. The wait is too long even if it served with a smile. Menu itself is not extensive. Not so comfortable seating, almost feels like they want you to eat and get out. Not spend quality time with your mates. Price doesn't justify the taste, even though the quantity does. Some names are a bit misleading. Not planning on going back."

"When we arrived at The Village Hotel Aberdeen we were put in a lovely room with a super king size bed, lovely decor and it was lovely and clean. We stayed the first night in this room, the bed was extremely comfortable and a very good size. The problem was I have mobility difficulties and there was a bath in the bathroom. I went to reception to see if they could do anything, the staff were very friendly and helpful and changed our room to an accessible room. I really wish we hadn't changed room! The accessible room was awful! The bed was a small double and the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept on, I woke every hour through the night with back pain, as did my partner. The room decor was dingy and the carpet was stained, there were marks on the sheets and the TV was much smaller than the TV in the original room. Why does the accessible room not have the same standards as a normal room? I was appauled. They really should improve the standard of the accessible room, it is unfair that people that need to use these rooms have to compromise on comfort and luxury. On a positive note, the staff were wonderful, helpful and friendly, the breakfast and evening meal were very delicious, although quite expensive. The breakfast is a buffet style with lots of choice. The evening meals have a good size portion and are very yummy. There is limited room service available between 5pm and 9:30pm. The bar was well stocked, although some of the drinks on tap were not available because the pumps were broken. The bar prices are quite expensive... £10.60 for a pint of larger and a Jack Daniels with diet Coke. My overall opinion is that if you are staying in a standard king size room then I would recommend, but if you are staying in an accessible room avoid unless you want a bad back!"

"Had the most delicious meal on Saturday night. We arrived to a warm welcome by the barman which makes all the difference, then seated into the restaurant by him. Our order was taken politely by the waitress and our food was served shortly after. We started with the pea arancini and the cauliflower and cheese veloute. We both had the pan seared salmon for main which was absolutely delicious, with a crispy skin to die for! Finishing with the rhubarb creme brulee and ice cream. It was such a treat to have fresh food served on hot plates. We can highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you."

"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) ."

"The food was above average, I had cod with chorizo which was beautifully cooked although the chorizo looked like it had been boiled rather than pan fried. Service was very good, capable and attentive staff. The thing that spoiled the evening was the noise level, you shouldn't have to shout to participate in a conversation but within a group of six of us, this is what we had to do as the background noise was so loud. It tended to make the evening rather waring and it was a relief to leave for somewhere quieter. Overall I thought the prices were high for the general ambience and quality."
