"Went on a Sunday early evening. Service good. Food was good too. Staff working hard. Restaurant probably trying to cater for too many types of group families alongside couples, lighting went from on to off while we were there hence the lower ambience score Still fair value with the discount though"

"my man and I had booked a table for 5.00 o'clock when we went to the theatre and the restaurant was too walking. this was our first visit and we were very impressed by the facility in the dining room and asked about the history behind the restaurant's facility. the maitre d was very knowledgeable and passionate and was proud to explain how the dishes were cooked etc. and explains the story regarding the beautiful picture hanging on the wall. fantastic start to the evening. eating was amazing."

"in a league of itself. when they arrived at night, they had just won the price for whisky bar of the year, so there were generous free widder flowing. if they enjoy whisky, this is the place to learn about Scotland through a warming amber lens. reckless."

"I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant that is advertised as a cocktail bar, but actually serves real ale accredited by CAMRA's WhatPub. It is currently located under a set of structures around the corner from Oxford Road Station. They offer a great selection of cask ales on hand pumps and other craft beers on draft or in bottles. CAMRA members receive a generous 25% discount, making the prices very affordable. The staff is friendly and there is plenty of space. The cask beer is in excellent condition."

"Taking a leisurely boat ride on the Avon, I asked the very informative Captain for lunch suggestions and he recommended Joya. Walked in with no real expectations but ended up having a nice meal in a very relaxed atmosphere. The 2 ladies holding the fort were polite and friendly. I ordered the soup of the day and grilled prawns. My son went for spaghetti bolognese. The Mediterranean soup was okay, tasted a bit like thickened pizza sauce. The grilled king prawns were fab as was the pasta. For dessert, ordered the lemon sorbet and creme brulee. The latter was ordered after confirming that it would not disappoint. True to her word, it did not and nor did the excellent 3 scoops of sorbet. At GBP 25pp walked out very satisfied."

"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) ."

"we had a nice Sunday dinner at the wheelwright arms. alasdair and the staff were excellent. we are getting to a busy Sunday. we were warmly welcomed and nothing was too much effort throughout the whole meal. the atmosphere was relaxed and yet very professional. the food was excellent and much of it and they will not be hungry after home! a great dog-friendly pub that is an additional bonus. we will be back and hopefully be classified as regular one day. thanks back to the team and we hope that they will go from strength to strength. oh and the choice of the background music was 10/10!"

"My husband and I had booked a table for 5.00 a.m. when we went to the theatre and the restaurant was within walking distance. This was our first visit, and we were very impressed by the facilities in the dining room and asked about the history behind the establishment of the restaurant. The Maitre D was very knowledgeable and passionate and was proud to explain how the dishes were cooked etc. and explains the story related to the beautiful picture hanging on the wall. Fantastic start to the evening. The food was amazing."

"Very pleasant Italian food.Quite small so very noisy when full plus very loud music. Why oh why do Italian restaurants never give you enough Parmesan and have condiments on the table. There was too much tomato sauce on the bolognese and a shame they could not make an affagato,as it is only a scoop of icecream with a shot of espresso added.Indeed all the deserts were not homemade. The pizzas were excellent. The waiter is charming and attentive."

"Waiting service asked the same questions, ordered roast pork loin but got belly of pork, confusion from the staff over the difference in coffees, and we were sat right in front of the singer who was very good but meant that we couldn’t talk as she was too loud"

"Food was excellent, as was the ambience. The service could have been better by explaining what vegetables came with the main dishes. In addition when buying a reasonable priced bottle of wine, you do not expect it to be plonked in front of you and not opened. However, overall a good experience and will be using it again in the near future."

"It’s a really lovely bar with great staff. It’s quiet and intimate. You can sit at the bar and chat with staff about gin. You can learn a lot about gin and the tasting experience is really good too. I wouldn’t call it a restaurant though limited bar snacks such as nuts available . However if you are looking for a quiet place to go for a drink in the city then this is great."

"The menu was misleading and the pizza was just okay. The restaurant was decent for pizza, but it didn't live up to its advertised hipster vibe."

"The menu was inaccurate and the pizza was just okay. While the restaurant was decent for a casual pizza spot, it didn't live up to the trendy image it was trying to project."

"Hugely disappointed at how much the Black Lion has gone downhill. We have been coming here for 2 years and have brought many friends and family for a Sunday Roast as in the past it has been the very best. It now seems that they are under new management and the service and quality of the food has dropped to a minimal standard. We brought our family for a roast expecting our usually lovely experience but were greeted with poor service, the wrong food being brought out, instructions ignored and a vodka and coke served in a pint of coke?! The food was disgusting...somewhat reminent of a school dinner, the meat thinly sliced and the gravy watery. The meal then ended with completely the wrong receipt being brought to the table with 5 extra items added. It's been a good run Black Lion but we will not be returning! Time to find a new roast!"

"the new restaurant was recommended by a friend. last week to lunch, a party of 5 and was not disappointed. the location is beautiful with a lot of history on the website and it is surrounding business and more from what I collect. the building has great character with some interesting original features that decorate it. a place for relaxed social dining I recommend. the staff was very pleasant and the service was good. the time between each curs was precise and didn't feel rushed in any way. the presentation of eating was great, beautifully presented portions of very good quality eating. I had de-starter, best that I had very delicate, and the lamb was only lambfantastic! my dessert, lemon zitruskuchen, just finished the entire eating experience there brilliant. they have a beautiful outdoor garden on the back with good sitting and sun umbrellas. will soon be back to try out the new menu! it changes regularly, which is great news."

"This restaurant is a definite one to miss, I had to write this review to let other diner's know how bad our experience was, Working in Highgate we decided to go for dinner and booked a table for 3 of us. First we ordered some starters which were worse than average at a high price and leaving one part of the starter off until we pointed it out. For our main course we ordered the special which was Seafood Pasta, when it came it was almost cold and smaller than a child's portion with the mussels also cold and have no taste, this dish was £14.95 I pointed all this out to the manager and he apologised without doing anything about it at all. The most annoying thing of all is when i asked for the bill, which was over £90 nothing was said so i paid under duress and felt that we were really badly ripped off. I have heard many bad reviews about Ostuni and now i know why. The whole meal was disgusting and cannot recommend anybody ever trying it there."
