"Dear [Restaurant Manager's Name], I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share my experience at your establishment, The Allegory, located at 1a Principal Place, Worship Street, London, EC2A 2FA. Unfortunately, my partner and I found our meals to be quite disappointing. My partner's chicken skewers arrived lukewarm and seemed stale, as though they had been sitting out for a while or were reheated. I ordered the vegan taco as a starter, but it was unbearably spicy, making it difficult for me to enjoy the meal afterwards. I question whether it should have been that spicy. For my main course, I chose the vegan curry, which was also lukewarm and unappetizing. I managed to take a few bites but felt embarrassed to leave most of it uneaten, so I requested to take it with me. However, when I exited the restaurant, I was still hungry. Given the total of £42.75, I felt the price was quite steep for a meal that we did not enjoy. I have heard wonderful things about your restaurant and wonder if our experience was just an off day. We were genuinely disappointed in our culinary experience and I felt it was important to provide this feedback. Additionally, I would like to inquire if there might be a possibility of a reimbursement. I attempted to fill out the feedback form on your website, but encountered an error stating, "failed to send your message." Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards, Carmel Farquhar Phone: 07817 620 414"

"PJ’s is my neighbourhood gem. I love the food and the ambience. However, the waiter they had for us kept hovering above us like a helicopter. We had barely sat down when he came to take our order. I asked him to bring us the drinks menu. He brought them and stood there waiting. I asked him to give us five minutes to see what we would like to order. He finally got the message and left us. Throughout the dinner, he kept coming to us every five minutes, interrupting our conversation I hadn’t seen my friend for 6 months and we had a lot to catch up on) to ask us if everything was alright. Then when it came to asking for the bill, he either did a disappearing act or would not even look towards our table. I practically had to get up from my table and wave my white napkin to get his attention. I would have given my neighbourhood hangout and gem 5 stars if not for the waiter’s overbearing and overzealous behaviour. Be a bit more relaxed and treat people like guests in your establishment."

"It was another wonderful experience! We were in the restaurant to celebrate a friend's birthday and she loved the place, the food and especially the service. Carlos, Alex and of course Vincenccio were amazing! Thank you so much for being as many people as great people and treating us so well."

"This restaurant is really wonderful, located right next to the Prince Edward Theatre. While the bar area is great, we had made a reservation for the restaurant. I had requested a quiet table and we were accommodated. From the moment we were greeted to when we left, all the staff were friendly, helpful, and polite. Even the bartender said hello as we passed by on the way to our table. The food and drinks were exceptional. I had mentioned it was a big birthday celebration for my friend when booking. I had completely forgotten about this, but we were surprised with a delicious piece of cake and sorbet at the end, with birthday wishes. I definitely recommend this restaurant and bar. A big thank you to Tamara, our lovely waitress."

"The experience was marred from the start by the service. We were left standing at the wait here to be seated position. At least four members of staff stared straight at us and ignored us. No one came over to advise that a hostess would be along shortly. When a hostess did arrive, she told us we would have the table for one and half hours, which directly contradicts the booking terms on Open Table, which state two hours for a party of four.On being seated, when we asked what the composition was of the cocktail of the month Pornstar Spritz, we were told: is Champagne and some juice. Ignoring that the Champagne reference is incorrect, why can't waiters simply say that they don't know and fetch someone who does?After we replaced that waiter, the service improved, although a request to have roast beef cut from the rarer part of the joint was met with a look of complete confusion. Eventually, having been given a choice of medium or well done, I went with something else. The food was for the most part good, although my baked eggs were added to the dish too early and were consequently hard and the roast beef ordered by another member of the party was so well done that a cobbler would have rejected it. Ambience is good, in that the space is reasonably tasteful, but it is a cavernous hotel lobby space, so if you're looking for something intimate, look elsewhere. Prices are fine.The Riedel glassware is wasted this is never going to feel like a tasteful outing in the West End.The house Champagne is Perrier Jouet, which is better than most"

"errrrmmm having been here a couple of times, must say i enjoyed my previous visit better! the restaurant is what it sets out to be a quick fast, casual diner for a simple lunch and the food was good, but the service could have been a lot better...firstly the maitre d (and waiter sits at a table that is NOT in sightline of the guests! so whenever you want smtg you have go find him. the music was dire (jazz so has to ask him to change that...no atmosphere at all, which is difficult with too few guests and the area is a bit of a building site right now (local tube Lancaster Gate is shut...would have been nice if the restaurant or OT had told us that when we booked! we need good restaurants in this area devoid of anything decent"

"I don't go more than once a year to the island grill, but visit my daughter at very special locations. this was the first visit since the pandemic began and while I was a little disturbed by the inflated prices, I was confident. the much outdated cook would be worth it. I was wrong. overall the service was slow and inattentive, which could perhaps be apologised as the place was packed. the squealing waiting and kitchen staff was however unacceptable, strengthened by our position directly under the servierluke. the roasted cod was bland and tasteless and the tomato could also come from a dose. £6 extra for the side would have been acceptable, but the kartoffels were a scandal. credit where credits were due, the carrots were good. my daughter enjoyed the lamb curry and burger, but they were not better than averaged and the same could be said for the deserts. £34 for a nasty bottle of sauvignon blanc was insulting to say the least. the Gents toilet was like a war zone, with fabrics and other objects discarded on the floor, a broken toilet roll holder and nowhere to dry my hands. the whole experience came with a 12.5% service fee. keep your heads in shame."

"I love the refinery! went for her all day breakfast, which was wonderful, friendly staff, fast service, really great atmosphere. they decorate very contemporary and industrial. we liked it so much that we went to dinner tonight. platz was full, we had no reservation, but they said they would fit us what they did! again another wonderful meal between us we had the Thai prawn curry, Thai chicken curry, salmon and burger. each of our meals was fabulous, waiting with the staff so friendly. in any case visit a place! a real jewel in some!"

"My friend really enjoyed their burger, but the spicy chicken wings I ordered were quite disappointing. They had a kind of stale taste, as if they'd been fried once and then fried again. I'm not sure what the issue was, but they didn't meet my expectations, especially considering the price. The chips were decent, though. On a positive note, the staff was friendly, and there was a good selection of non-alcoholic beverages."

"Don’t get me wrong I like Daylesford a lot and I am a supporter since their opening in Notting Hill. Daylesford stands for quality food and is more on the expensive side…. However, recently they broke a new record by serving their specials lunch for £22 with 5 small shrimps (not joking very small) and a tasteless green salad without sauce that seem to come straight out of a grocery bag….ah and a bottom of the plate a loveless thrown portion of mayonnaise. I am used to Daylesford prices but this one was stretching it a bit too far I thought. Hence my overall 2 stars. Service great as always and general vibe great as usual as well. I hope their menu team is rethinking their specials strategy a bit more in the future…."

"It's okay. The service was friendly and they were good to take a photo. On the website, however, they advertise a 3 tapas deal for 12.50. We came to see a sign outside 3 tapas deal for 14.50. I wasn't amusing. The waitress then apparently had no idea about the deal and went to check. Deal for 14.50. Well, I notice that the deal was online anyway. We order, generally enjoy the food and receive the bill. The deal was not taken into account. The waiter says we should have let the waitress know. That upset me when I'm pretty sure she asked him. It was only approx. 5.75 saved and had to choose 2 dishes from the sections. I previously recommended this restaurant on another side, but this experience has upset me. They need to change their website and educate their staff."

"I received a call from the moniker 1 hour before our booking for 6 for christmas lunch informed me that they did not provide tables and would not confirm the booking of opentable. they mentioned that they had problems with opentable in the past, and while they were very repentant for the inconvenience - were completely able to do everything to make this right. it is obvious that the attempt to find a table for 6 during the holiday is near impossible, but I am pleased to report that the corn exchange on 1 minster court was friendly, courteous and able to create a place for us. I would highly recommend to take their business there and stay as far away from the moniker as possible."

"Located inside the Intercontinental Hotel on George Street, this restaurant serves as a breakfast lounge, bar, and dining room. The name of the restaurant is a nod to its history as a printing press. The decor has a slightly dated feel, with dark and dim lighting and retro light fixtures. The drinks menu features cocktails named after famous people and their preferred drinks. However, the food menu is average and uninspired, feeling like it belongs to another era. The dishes themselves fell short of expectations, with the cod appearing undercooked and the accompanying side dish being cold. The charcuterie board also failed to impress. With so many other excellent dining options in Edinburgh, I will not be returning to this restaurant."

"Last but not Bull. Restaurants are among those places which, for a couple of hours, can transport people out of this world. Be it during lunchtime or for dinner, time stops and the earth stands still. Once you walk through the doors of these realms where palates are king, nothing else can really matter anymore. Miles away from the craziness outside, a relaxing and comforting atmosphere welcomes you to this parenthesis of happiness and pleasure Beyond tickling one's palate, restaurants remind us of the pleasure of life. Every morning and every evening, we share the same tube, the same train, never saying a word to each other, getting ready for the chaotic humdrum of our jobs. But when...read more"

"I typically receive decent service at this restaurant, but unfortunately, it was not great this time. We waited an hour for our food, and when we spoke to the staff, it seemed like our order may have been forgotten because no one came to check on us or ask about our order. After we complained, our food did arrive promptly, and they made up for it by offering us some complimentary drinks, which was a nice gesture. Despite this experience, I will still continue to dine here as the overall experience is usually good."

"for the first time at bills and will definitely visit again. wide selection of menu options and wide selection of courses. we started starting from nachos and dips plus humus. super tasty without spicy surprises. main dish choice was buttermilk huh burger, which came with sweet potatoes, which again very tasty and crispy. the burger was very generous and the huh perfectly cooked and tasteful. this choice was £11.95 and worth every penny. we had a nice waiter who was very helpful and felt appreciated customers. highly recommended and buy a bottle bills elderflower presse. great."

"On arrival they didn’t have our reservation, which put me on guard. The dining area is part bar, part lounge and part restaurant. The bench seats are pretty grubby and are showing signs of age. As they didn’t have our reservation they didn’t have our pre notified dietary request either, not going well so far. This all changed because the two servers on duty were incredibly helpful, making sure that the dietary requirements were available. A little wait for the food considering there were very few people dining, but the food was worth the wait. Steak and vegetables cooked perfectly and very tasty. The staff remained attentive during our meal without being a nuisance. In summary great food, if a little pricey, good service, but let down by shabby seating and having a table adjacent to a smelly Saint Bernard. It struggles to have the area used for three different uses, bar for the man and his dog, lounge for people lounging on a couch and a restaurant. Yes we would visit again but hopefully without the dog, a restaurant really isn’t the place for anything but an assistant dog."

"hi, we loved our visit. my friend and I have been shown to a great table very privately situated. I forgot to mention when I sat that I needed a gluten-free menu. the menu was fantastic with all the allergens abbreviated on the main menu and dessert menu. we have given bread. I asked for gluten-free. the staff was very attentive and I got warm, very tasty gf brot. I felt the weeping list was overpriced at £7 for a 125ml prosecco. So I only drank Tunic water and overpriced 125ml at £4.95 for white wine. the food was presented very well. nice eating. great service. not rushed. was very busy, but it was well managed. felt desserts were good at £6-8 per price. but we left after a main course very satisfied and full."
