Afternoon Tea Swan, Shakespeare’s Globe

➤ 21 New Globe Walk, London, United Kingdom

Wine • Full • British • High Tea

"This was the fourth time me and my mom went for Afternoon Tea at the Swan. As always it was amazing. You get an wonderful view on the Thames while enjoying the lovely bites. We are vegetarian so they made special sandwiches for us. To make everything complete my mother got a special plate with extra macarons with on it Happy Birthday, because they knew it was her birthday. I already know that when we go next year to London we will enjoy another Afternoon tea at the Swan."

Roly's Bistro

➤ 7 Ballsbridge Terrace Dublin, Co. Dublin D04 DT78, D04 C7K6, Dublin 9, United Kingdom

Wine • Irish • Steak • French

"Grand…..just ok. Wine menu was falling apart despite cello tape. We considered leaving because the vegetarian option was limited to pasta, I enquired if anything else could be provided an entire vegetarian menu was presented. Offering a veg menu earlier would have prevented our near leaving. Food when it came was ok very dry, left under a heat lamp kinda dry. Great wine list lovey decor. All just ok wouldn’t be rushing back…."

The Vintry

➤ Abchurch Yard Sherborne Lane London, EC4N 5AX, EC4N 7BB, United Kingdom

Pubs • Beer • Steak • Drinks

"A large crowd of us went to the Vintry for drinks last night. It was really busy so had a great atmosphere! They had some staff doing drink service outside. We wanted to thank Claudio and Betty for doing such a great job. They worked really hard and we never waited long for our drinks. They were both so friendly and even though they were rushing around they were super happy to help!"

The Ewe and Lamb

➤ 68 Hanbury Road Bromsgrove, Worcestershire B60 4DN, B60 4FP, United Kingdom

Pizza • Steak • Coffee • British

"Food was fantastic…. Service appalling, to begin with they forgot my potatoes, fine it happens. Ordered a dessert to share chocolate torte however we were served with Eton Mess told the waitress it was not what we ordered so she walked away only to reappear with the same dessert saying this is what I ordered…no way I don’t even like Eton mess … I then witnessed a congregation of staff showing their support disapproval of what had to happened to their colleague at this stage I was quietly feeling awkward embarrassed. Eventually receiving the dessert we ordered I couldn’t enjoy it went to the bar to complain to the ….who appeared to be the manager, she straight away jumped to her staffs defence saying that they apologised for what had happened that there were 2 sides of the story to be heard !! I asked for the bill after looking at the bill noticed I had been charged for 2 items that I hadn’t ordered, again on approaching the apparent manager was again made to feel it was my fault that I hadn’t checked the bill !! I am absolutely fuming , not even about the errors but how I was made to feel. This was a treat for myself my husband who has Parkinson’s Parkinson’s related dementia so these outings are few far between a rare treat turned into frustration of very, very bad contrived customer service"

The Natural Kitchen Aldersgate

➤ 176 Aldersgate StreetEC1A 4HU, London, United Kingdom

Asian • Vegan • Indian • Breakfast

"We booked a table for 7 people and this was no problem as the restaurant was almost empty when we arrived, albeit at 6pm on a Tuesday evening. This was just as well because any busier and the background noise and the load music would have made discussions very difficult. We had a few issues understanding the waiter as he had a rather impenetrable accent but despite a few mix-ups over side dishes, overall the service was good. Many of us availed of the discounted steak and it was OK, nothing special. Happy to go again but only because it is near the office."

Old Chain Pier

➤ 32 Trinity Crescent, EH5 3ED, Edinburgh, City of, United Kingdom

Pub • Food • Steak • Seafood

"During my trip to Edinburgh, we made a reservation at this restaurant with a nice view from our window seat, despite the bad weather outside. The atmosphere was relaxed with only a few tables occupied. For starters, we ordered the clam chowder which was full of delicious ingredients, creamy, and served with crunchy sourdough bread. My mother had the mushroom and tarragon soup from the specials menu, which warmed us up on a cold autumn day. Our main course was mussels, which was enjoyable but could have been a larger portion for the price. The fish and chips were crispy and of premium quality, although we felt it could have used some mushy peas or garnish. Some of the chips seemed like scraps from the bottom of the fryer and lacked substance. We also tried the lemon posset from the specials, which was delightful and smelled amazing. The service was friendly and attentive, with my allergies taken into consideration. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch and would love to visit again in the future."

Townley's

➤ Albion Place Ramsgate, Kent CT11 8HQ, United Kingdom

Wine • Coffee • Mexican • British

"I booked this restaurant for my partners birthday. I read the reviews and thought it would be romantic to have a sea view while dining, this was acknowledged and we had a window seat. Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly waitress who seated us by the window, it was a bit breezy as its quite open, but luckily it was a very warm evening. For starters, my partner ordered the duck breast, while I opted for the cured salmon, both arrived nicely presented on the plate and tasted delicious. For mains I ordered the Miso Cauliflower Steak and my partner opted for the Cod Loin, both were delicious too. We were full so we didn't opt for a dessert, the one thing I was disappointed about was the fact that I did make it clear on the booking that it was my partners birthday that day, and a gentleman confirmed my name and booking when we sat down, but there was no small gesture for my partners birthday, even just wishing him happy birthday would of been nice. Overall we had a good experience, and spent just an hour for starters and mains, if I could suggest any improvements, then it would be to make the ambience a bit more appealing and a small gesture to anyone celebrating a special day. We will be back at some point to try the Sunday Roast as it has great reviews."

Albion House

➤ Albion House, Albion Place, Thanet, United Kingdom

Fish • Meat • Steak • Coffee

"We reserved a table for two at this restaurant. The ambience and location were beautiful. However, we found the prices to be too high. The Sunday roast menu promised a variety of meats, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, and other accompaniments, but we were disappointed to receive a small portion of meat, two undercooked potatoes, and one carrot. Additionally, we ordered bread and olives as a starter, but were only served six olives. We noticed that another table of two, who had also ordered olives, received a larger portion. The restaurant also adds a service charge to the bill. On a positive note, they were able to accommodate our request for a table that could fit a pram. Overall, I am unlikely to return to this restaurant due to the high prices, lack of flavor, inconsistent service, and poor food quality."

Vito's Italian

➤ 284 South Road, S6 2WY, Sheffield, United Kingdom

Pasta • Pizza • Italian • Ice Cream

"vito is simply the best. an extremely friendly reception, very clean cozy restaurant and the best eating of all time. my four cheese sauce gnocchi as starter was great and I could have the bigger part than my main course next time. I can't remember what my man had, but he was very quiet to eat it! we had both pizzas as pornstars, he had calzone and I had a white san daniele. both were amazing and we were very, very full of it. I made an affogato for dessert and he had 3 draws ice. the wee was good and the overall bill was very reasonable. we just wanted us to live closer together because it's worth a visit."

Reeves

"Wonderful atmosphere, we went on a cold evening between xmas and new year and it was snug and cosy. The food was amazing and the cocktails are highly recommended (especially the Dryad Gin based ones! . Great service and all round a fab meal in a brilliant setting. A perfect place for a special meal. Good vegetarian options as well,"

"We had lunch here recently with friends, seven of us in total, to celebrate one couple's golden wedding anniversary. We had a private room upstairs and everything was excellent, delicious food, nothing could be faulted on everyone's meal, very friendly and good service. We have been many times and will continue to return often"

Podium

➤ 22 Park Lane London, W1K 1BE, United Kingdom

Bars • Beer • Wine • British

"We were staying at the Dorchester and Open Table found this restaurant near us. The reviews were mixed but seemed to be somewhat okay and so we booked a table. An unfortunate choice. The food here is mediocre at best. I had the steak frites and my husband had the burger. Both were edible but neither was outstanding in any way. We ordered a £30 bottle of wine but were told they were out of that particular wine, so we just ordered wine by the glass. When we went to pay the bill we saw they didn’t take the £30 wine off the bill. When we brought it to their attention, they removed it but no apologies were given. Overall, the food was okay but not great or even good. Our server was inconsistent. She was quick to take our orders and was personable but kind of a basket case. She immediately assumed we were staying in the attached hotel (a Marriott) and assured us we could bring any leftover wine to our room. She failed to bring water while we choked on our bread, never gave us salt and pepper (we had to get it from another table) and didn’t remove the £30 wine charge on our bill until we asked. If we could go back to Podium, with a better server and at no cost, we would pass. There are so many excellent restaurants in London, there is no reason to go to such a below average place."

Thyme and Lemon

➤ 139 Upper street London, N1 1QP, United Kingdom

Tapas • Spanish • European • Vegetarian

"eating is good. the service was friendly and they were good to make 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 was not amused. the waitress then apparently had no warning about the deal and went to check. offer for 14.50 good, I notice that the deal was online in the choice anyway. we order, generally enjoy eating and get 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 to. there was only approx. 5.75 and had to choose 2 dishes from the sections. I have already recommended this restaurant on another page, but this experience has upset me. they need to change their website and educate their personal."

The Dining Rooms At Albion House

➤ Albion Place, Ramsgate, United Kingdom

Sushi • Asiatic • Seafood • European

"A treat for Christmas Eve that both enchanted and disappointed. The Christmas ambiance was wonderful with a magnificent decorated tree and crackers on the tables. The menu was baffling, being a kind of English tapas selection. Opting for a few dishes to share, we were struck by the variety of subtle flavours although very disappointed by the size of the servings in view of the prices. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, finally let down by the waitress not bringing the change, albeit small. Service was included in the bill, but this error cost her a tip. Overall a lovely experience, but be prepared for the high prices."

Wimsey's

➤ 177 New King's Road, Hammersmith and Fulham, United Kingdom

Cheese • Italian • European • Desserts

"We randomly picked this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised. The reviews were good and we were not let down. The cocktails were delicious, especially the Negroni which was better than the one I had in Italy last week. The strong Italian influence on the English cuisine resulted in tasty dishes. The food was complemented by a great Italian red wine at a reasonable price. Overall, it was a great value and I would recommend this conveniently located restaurant."

Lussmanns - St. Albans

➤ 14-16 Heritage Close St. Albans, Hertfordshire AL3 4EW, Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom

Fish • Steak • British • European

"Table was great, large glass area overlooking the walk down to the Cathedral. I loved what was on the menu, although I think it may have been a bit fish heavy for my friend. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Food was excellent and portions were good. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience. My only gripe was that none of my choices were on the menu of the day!"

The George Brasserie

"wow! I have booked the george to celebrate an 80th birthday and I cannot express how wonderful everything was. ryan and his personal were absolutely amazing, nothing was too much annoyed. eating was exquisite and beautifully served. I would recommend the george to anyone who needs somewhere with great and elegance. 5 service, personal, venue and eating."

Dylan's

➤ St George's Rd, Menai Bridge LL59 5DE, LL59 5DW, United Kingdom

Pizza • Mexican • Seafood • European

"I've been to Dylans in Menai Bridge and always enjoyed it not this time. For the first half of our visit there was a stinging blue haze hanging in the air; the kitchen extractors clearly weren't functioning properly. Fortunately this cleared for the second hour we were there. Now to the service; after taking our drinks orders we waited nearly 15 minutes for them. Later, after staff had passed our empty glasses 20 times, we managed to order some second drinks by catching their attention. The food was the main problem; minuscule starters of crab and Welsh rarebit. My pizza came as a real surprise (as others have mentioned in previous reviews); gone is the thin crusted, well filled pizza of the past. The pizza is now about 20% smaller and my daughter mentioned that it looked like a child's portion. However, the main problem was the total lack of filling; there was a huge gap for at least an inch all round the pizza which was just fluffy dough. There were five tiny mussels on it and when I picked the mussel shells up they were so overcooked the shells turned to carbonised dust. I counted three tiny slices of red chilli. As others have mentioned, I realise the industry is having a hard time the price of the pizzas haven't gone up but the quantity and quality has plummeted and I would rather pay more to enjoy my meal. The pudding order came and was wrong. When the hot cross bun pudding came out it was still only on the wrong side of lukewarm. Don't get me started on the price of a pint of Aspalls £7.25, a price I would expect to pay in London. And before Lisa R replies that they would have replaced a dish, it would have been replaced with a similar disappointing dish....and no one bothered to ask us if everything was OK either during or after the meal anyway."

Jekyll And Hyde Public House

➤ Hartley Wespall, Basingstoke and Deane, United Kingdom

Wine • Steak • Cheese • British

"Had a family gathering at this pub to celebrate my daughter’s recent birthday. We all ate and had drinks there. Service, politeness and helpfulness of staff was good. Being a party over a certain number we had to pre book our starters and main course which wasn’t a problem, but I found this establishments food and drinks way over priced, both food and drink. Large white wine £9.90, firstly ferret pint £5.90. You can view the price of the meals on their website. I just had a burger which came with chips. It was quite nice but quite average. Before I started eating it the bottom half of the bun was soaked in burger grease and was mush. The chips I wouldn’t be surprised if they were McCain’s straight frozen or possibly some other brand, but not fresh made. Holding the burger together was a wooden skewer and placed on top of the burger was two slightly cooked onion rings which I would say also come out of the freezer. I have eaten better burgers from McDonald’s or Burger King for half the price. My wife had Dover Sole and said the fish was nice, but over priced. For a sweet four of us had baklava. It’s was a fair portion of baklava, but rated about a 6.5 to 7 10. As we left the pub I only counted 4 people in the pub, perhaps there were more that I couldn’t see, this was at approx 18:30 on a Saturday evening. The inside of the pub is nice, shame about the prices. My wife asked me would I come here again, I replied I wouldn’t choose to come here, and she agreed. It wasn’t my choice to go there for this visit. The quality of the food doesn’t warrant such high prices."

The Old Chain Pier

Food • Fish • Burgers • British

"more amazing place and good eating, but I was recently with my son and, although I really think that the staff a table for us without reservation, I was a little disappointed about a waiter who was clearly excited when I was complaining about the burger of my sohne. I ordered a barkburger with hand cutting chips for me and exactly the same for my son, but smaller (after the suggestion of the waiter). the waiter also tries to sell the simple burger with charalat, perhaps because with the children not really satisfied with nice, but I was clear when I said that was not my sad case, so I was happy to take the grindburger without alteration....or I thought that I was clear because I had received what I ordered for me, but my I will definitely be kinder back or because it was an amazing job"
