"they offer a fully vegan 7-course tasting menu that has some of the best food we ever had. we have returned twice and bought vouchers for 4 family members. Amazing for a special occasion and cheap relatiw, considering that they hold a Michelin star. in any case recommend. Top tips do you sell a black Friday where you can buy gift vouchers for the vegan taste menu if you buy in advance, you can save some money! updated by previous review on 2022-04-03"

Fish • Soup • Irish • Steak

"Mix reviews. First time I went had a great experience took the tartare which was delicious followed by the grilled fish with was also delicious. Would have given 5 stars. This time I ordered the bone marrow burger. It Was dry, very salty and served with a side salad without oil or vinaigrette wasn’t sure what the plan was with that. I definitely wouldn’t order again and service was on the cold side compared to first time. Would had given it a 3 stars at best. So averaging on the good side I’ll give it a 4 but based on this experience I don’t think I’ll return."

Bank Westminster

Wine • Steak • English • European

"Business lunch for four, recommended by a colleague who loves the place.Location is great and the conservatory style dining area is really nice. Tables are well spaced out and the overall effect is really calm and peaceful.Only one other table being used, so the service was quick as you would expect. Bread and olives to share were delicious, really nice, mains ordered 2 tuna and 2 salads. The tuna steak was exceptional, beautifully cooked, delicious. Everyone in the group well satisfied with their food.They desserts were good, but not up to the standard of the starters. Decent priced bottle of wine, some coffees and everyone was happy.It’s a little lifeless, I’m sure some days it must be busier which would create more of a buzz. Prices aren’t bad, given it’s location, service and food are good. Would definitely go again, and just to make sure we do, the restaurant have a loyalty card scheme which we signed up to. Covers a few different restaurants (including Ginos and Piccolinos) and you get £20 for joining! Not bad"

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…."

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."

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!"

Podium

➤ 22 Park Lane London, W1K 1BE, W1K 1RA, 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."

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"

Black Blue Steakhouse

➤ 1-2 Rochester Walk Borough Market, Southwark, United Kingdom, SE1 9AF

Pizza • Cafés • Steak • Seafood

"For a steak restaurant to serve a rare steak that was hard to cut let alone chew is poor, but when you ordered medium rare it is unforgivable. Had I not been with important clients I would have sent it back. It's Christmas so it was very busy, the service was not urgent and it was very noisy. Not my best experience..."

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."

Balti Express

Balti • Curry • Indian • Cheese

"Bella Italia was included as part of a party package in Brighton for a group of 9 on a hen do! Our table wasn 't ready upon arrival and we had no idea how they were going to squeeze 9 of us into such a small restaurant. We all felt very self conscious and like we were intruding upon the other customers personal time, as it was such an intimate restaurant. Once our table was ready, we were seated at the rear of the restaurant and one of our friends was at the end of the table, which was in the way of the waiters 'service ' area (drinks, till etc . The food choices on the 'party ' menu were very limited (choice of 2 starters and 4 mains and the restaurant weren 't aware that one of our party required gluten free options. However, a gluten free menu was promptly supplied and the waiter was very efficient helpful throughout our visit. I don 't think the food was that good, is very basic (even looking a other customers choices! and quite bland. I have been to far superior Italian restaurants this is maybe somewhere I would go for a light lunch and not an evening meal. That said, on this occasion the food was adequate for our needs; we weren 't there for a special meal."

The 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."

Lussmanns

Fish • Steak • Cheese • British

"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!"

Café Rouge

➤ 43 Frederick St, Edinburgh, Edinburgh, EH21EP, EH2 1EP, United Kingdom

Cafés • French • Seafood • Mexican

"I was here on a Saturday evening around 8 o'clock. Perhaps not the best time to review a cafe/brasserie, however, it wasn't busy so there really wasn't any excuse to my mind as to the poor quality of the food. I had the cod filet, which as it turns out, wasn't a filet at all. My partner-in-crime had the lamb which I think was sufficiently satisfying. He didn't comment on the quality, so I'm guessing that it wasn't exceptional. My dish however was absolutely horrendous. To start the fish was floating in a layer of olive oil, something that I just don't find appealing. If the oil comes halfway up the fish, I'm not a happy camper. Then, the filet was not a filet. It was a full fish, with massive amounts of bones. I didn't expect bones, and they were everywhere. In the first bite, and I take small bites, I had three bones big enough that I had to remove them. To give some credit where credit is due, since I didn't eat the fish, just the grilled-to-mush vegetables that it came with (also schlumping around in oil) we didn't have to pay for the fish. But the waitress made such a big deal out of it that it was incredibly awkward. All-in-all? Poor service, poor food, and screaming babies on a Saturday. Lovely, enjoy."

Bay Horse

Pubs • Food • European • Restaurants

"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"

Lord's Tavern

➤ Lord's Cricket Ground St John's Wood Road London, NW8 8QN, FSA Food H, United Kingdom

Bars • Beer • Cheese • British

"We had an OK time. We paid for our meal as part of our Lords ticket so had a set one course choice. We had the curry which was not bad, not amazingly flavoursome but acceptable. There were plenty of staff to customers but service very casual and not over friendly. Plenty of screens to watch the cricket and am sure when key matches are on there is probably a great atmosphere, but at other times not a particular destination."

Fallon Byrne

➤ 11-17 Exchequer Street, Dublin, D02 VH59, Ireland, United Kingdom

Fish • Irish • Delis • Pasta

"The food was excellent, but the service left much to be desired. The staff were quite pushy about taking our order, which didn't allow us much time to peruse the menu. This may have been influenced by the current restrictions, but it felt a bit overwhelming. Additionally, they served all the food at once. While the quality of the food was impressive, the staff could have been more friendly and personable instead of coming across as robotic."

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."
