Sanderson

➤ 50 Berners Street London, W1T 3NG, United Kingdom

Asian • Cuban • Hotels • British

"Very disappointing. We’ve been to the Sanderson many times in the past, but won’t be going again. Staff seem poorly trained and little knowledge with poor attitude. Refused to make a classic champagne cocktail (a very common cocktail) because it wasn’t on their (very short) cocktail list. The girl behind the bar had evidently never even heard of it (how can a mixologist never have heard of such a basic classic cocktail) and said that she couldn’t make it as it wasn’t on the list and she couldn’t have put it through the till !! Didn’t even make any attempt at an apology either, instead made us feel like we were being stupid for ordering something not on their list! Been to many cocktail bars in London and never had service this bad. AVOID …"

Halal • Drinks • Turkish • Breakfast

"first we came in and it was really ugly. there were quiet music and the furniture was really nice. next we ordered, but our waitress was a bit grumpy. but our food came in 14 minutes. it is like almost food restaurant. the Canadian breakfast was really good and the pancakes were huge and delicious. it is a really good restaurant and some of the waiters are really polite. this is a definite 4-star restaurant I just turned 12"

The Bull

➤ 98 Dock Road, RM17 6EY, Thurrock, United Kingdom

Pub • Steak • Vegan • British

"Me and my husband took our 2 children down The Bull for lunch a few Saturdays ago. Excellent for the kids as have play area, children's booths and had a bouncy castle that particular weekend. Love how accommodating they are for children.... slush puppies, popcorn, mocktails, icecream, fab kids menu etc. We had a nice bit of food too, love the summer grill menu. Place was well maintained and clean. Staff were very friendly. Bit of a wait at the outdoor bar but what do you expect on a Saturday when the weather is lovely! Will be returning soon, thank you for a great afternoon!!!"

The Talbot Inn

➤ Ripley House High Street Woking, Surrey GU23 6BB, United Kingdom

Tea • Fish • Hotels • British

"We were the only guests (4) in the whole restaurant on a very quiet Sunday afternoon. We had booked in advance for afternoon tea. Our dietary requirements had been acknowledged and the tea was reflective of this so this was good. There were 3 members of staff working at this time, however, every time we were running low on tea, milk, cream etc, we had to get up from our table and go to find a member of staff and ask them to replenish. They weren’t busy or very attentive. Two weeks from Christmas and the conservatory we were eating in had no festive feel to it, no background music and was cool in temperature. We noticed the adjoining dining room was laid ready for breakfast the next morning and had a lovely Christmas tree so it was a shame we couldn’t have been in there. The food itself was standard although a nod to the festive season was included with a mini mince pie."

Lantana Cafe London Bridge

➤ London Iron House 44-46 Southwark Street, London I-SE1 1UN, United Kingdom

Vegan • Fusion • Coffee • Australian

"I went out with a friend, and we shared several dishes, which was perfect. The staff was attentive, and the restaurant had a spacious atmosphere. It's one of the few places in London where you can actually hear each other without having to deal with loud music! My only complaint is that the lighting felt a bit too bright. I'm not sure if it’s because the space is quite large, airy, and predominantly white."

Knidos Café

➤ 4-5 Cheapside Fortis Green, London, London, N29HP, United Kingdom

Sushi • Salad • Japanese • Mediterranean

"early on Saturday morning. the outdoor menu disappeared and aimed at the choice Avocado/Egg. then wandered in and looked perfectly fresh on spatialities made croissants, and knew that I have a croissant with a side of speck. superb with a kapuziner. I ate very comfortable outside. there is a lot of space inside and since this is very popular, they need the space. a few very happy small groups of diners collected in and seemed to have a great time. if I had lived in the opposite, I would certainly be a strain."

Gables

➤ 14-16 Newgate Street Village Hertford, Hertfordshire SG13 8RA, United Kingdom

Steak • Pasta • Italian • Seafood

"I thought the service was first class and you were made to feel comfortable from the moment you sat down. The food was delicious and perfectly presented. Value is good considering the ambiance and restaurant. I would recommend it and I will definitely be going again. Also just a heads up if you decide to go on a Friday make sure it’s with a group of friends or like a bit of loud music. Singer was great but not if you want a quiet one."

Aix

➤ 54 Topsfield ParadeTottenham Lane London, N8 8PT, United Kingdom

Fish • Soup • French • Cheese

"We have eaten here many times but last night the food was definitely not up to its usual standard. My husband had duck, potatoes and green beans but there were no potatoes. The ice cream that came with the dessert had a bug piece of ice in it. We both don’t feel well after the meal. Starter was excellent and the ambience really lovely. Service wasn’t great, I asked fir some ice and lemon 3 times before it came and they forgot my husbands expresó that he ordered"

The Lampery, Copthall Avenue

➤ Copthall Avenue, City Of London EC2R 7HP, United Kingdom, City of London

Cafe • Wine • Full • British

"Service was faultless and staff were really pleasant, friendly and helpful. Lovely attractive clean restaurant. However food was really ordinary the bread tasted like a toasted sliced loaf and the meats were poor quality. Vegetarian dish was fine but totally unremarkable. We dined on a 50% discount offer but had we paid full price would have felt really hard done by."

Salty Dog Bistro

➤ Le Boulevard, St Aubin I-JE3 8AB, United Kingdom

Kebab • Seafood • Mexican • European

"Dinner for two. Our experience started off a bit rocky when we requested a specific bottle of Chilean wine, but they only had options from New Zealand, so we had to adjust. On the bright side, we were charged for the Chilean wine, which was £5 cheaper. The food was fantastic—delicious with generous portion sizes. We never felt rushed, as the staff allowed us plenty of time between courses. Although the restaurant was busy, the staff managed everything smoothly."

Pavilion Lounge

➤ 18 Lodge Road, NW8 7JT, City of London,Westminster, United Kingdom

Tea • British • Breakfast • Finger Food

"I had some time to spare in the area so decided to bring some friends for a drink and a small snack here. The Waitress on duty seemed to be grossly overworked and had little clue what to do. It took a long time for her to come and take an order, we had to ask several times. It then took even longer for some of the drinks to arrive, one of the Drinks was missing, the Waitress did not say a word and walked away. Only after several further reminders did she bring the remaining drink. We then had to ask several times about the food, which she eventually did bring. As I did not have the time nor the patience to wait for her to bring the bill, I went to the Bar and paid somebody else behind the Bar counter. I then went to retrieve the car key from the Concierge, not entirely sure what happened, but the person there muttered something along the line that the usual Concierge was not there and that he did not know exactly what to do. He then could not give me any change and also no receipt of the money paid for the car parking, when asked for a receipt he said that the usual Concierge would normally deal with this and that he could not issue a receipt. Altogether a very disappointing experience, and quite embarrassing in front of my guests. I certainly won't bring any of my guests there again so soon."

The Vanbrugh

➤ 91 Colomb Street Greenwich London, SE10 9EZ, United Kingdom

Pubs • Meat • Beer • Cheese

"they enter the pub and so we stood at the bar and waited to be recognized. employees get drinks for customers at the bar and not even a simple “Hello” or reinsurance that they knew we were waiting. after almost minutes I asked. the barmann when we waited at the right place for the restaurant. he suddenly said, “Have you booked?” I confirmed that I and the time. we went to us and then went away. Paper menus on the table, no drinks menu at all. menus were left on the table, maybe this is a Kovid measure and they intend to throw away the paper menu, seemed just strange and no explanation given. kellnerin appeared a short time later asked what we wanted to order. I've seen it in a hurry to ask to shoot. drinks arrived, a drink was wrong, no big thing, it changed without problems. we all had the chicken roast and the meat was really delicious, no problems there. the veg consisted of less than one tablespoon of cauliflower, a single carrot strip and two small discs of papageiens. very small bratkartoffels and were tante bessies ofen ready to sort or similar certainly not a cooking quality or homemade frying. the gravure was well flavored and delicious. after the meal was laid on the table, the waitress disappeared permanently. the water that had been demanded for the table did not arrive. the waitress was not near enough to ask at any point. halfway through the meal, from us our drinks had ended and looked around again and again to order another, but no incident. No one came and asked how the meal was or whether we needed anything. who I think was the manager or owner was very attentive for two ladies sitting a few tables away and seemed to impress them. they did not seem to be aware of any other guests in the opposite and had their flashers fixed. the table next to us was a group of people, the limited space made it very loud (not really someone to blame), but it was difficult for us to talk to each other on the table when we were in the competition to hear. we finished our meals and sat for about minutes waiting for the staff to notice. the waitress catches the place of my boring expression over the room and came by and asked if we were done. at this point more drinks were offered, which we rejected. we had also removed the idea of dessert and so ordered only a child with us. ordered a cappuccino, that came and the barman asked who ordered it. when the person laid his hand, the barman leaned over the table, whereby a second person had to move her chair back, on the one hand, because it was so rude to lean so tightly and on the other hand over someone because there was the danger of having a hot drink over the head. to move the table to the person that is served, seems not to have been taught to the staff. two packs of white sugar were sat casually on the table. the drink was lukewarm and badly made. brown sugar was demanded when the dessert of the child arrived and that was given. the dessert was brought to the child (alter with the instruction “not touching the plate it is really hot” I moved the plate for him and it was tasty hot after having been whipped around in the microwave to warm the brownie I suspect. fortunately, he is a child who is not impulsive and has no special needs and therefore would not attack a plate, but much more thoughts should be given to safety, in particular safety of children. change the plate would have taken seconds before serving a child. the waitress then disappeared again and we looked at how he had to stand up and go on looking for waiting staff. we were finally asked if we wanted something else and politely said that the bill would be enough. a service fee has been added to the bill. after the discussion, we decided (for the first time in my case) to draw the complaint from the bill. I said the waitress that politely and said that unfortunately this evening did not go well. her answer was: “OK, thank you” took the payment and went away. there was no attempt to apologize or ask what made us feel like that. then we put on our hands and made us to the door. ignored by the waitress who either do not check whether we go or not interested. the manager/owner was right at the exit and did not try to say goodbye or even thank her for her need. really is a scandal and in the right hands could visit and enjoy a wonderful place."

Crab Tavern

➤ Unit 7 Broadgate Circle London, EC2M 2QS, United Kingdom

Bars • Beer • Seafood • Burgers

"I suppose there are 5 stars in all. with good design and decorations, very nice personal and beautiful menus! Unfortunately, it was an annoying mosquito of lemon slices on the table dressed, and some unacceptable short-haired things that float on my wein. the dame gave me a new wee, as she might think I was using by telling her there is something in the weinglas. Finally it was a nice lunch next to the train station!"

Camino Blackfriars

➤ 33 Blackfriars Lane London, EC4V 6EP, United Kingdom

Bars • Wine • Coffee • Spanish

"great restaurant really enjoyed it we were adult. I tried the tomato cheese salad, chorizo, ham croquetas, patras brava as stater than had more ham croquetas they were really nice some funky kartoffels with a fried egg, some chorizo, type of bark boiled medium rare, black pudding and chickenskewers. I can't really blame the place where the food or service is. I loved the Spanish music in the background was surprised that it was not very busy. when entering the bar area has a safety ball and they have some decks on the side, which makes me think that Friday night the place is packed"

Asia de Cuba

➤ 45 St Martins Lane, London, WC2N 4HX, London, WC2N4HX, United Kingdom

Bars • Cuban • Steak • Asian

"Another weekend, another bottomless brunch. I wasn’t sure what to make of the name except that Asia de Cuba sounded suitably exotic, which seemed appropriate for a brunch double date with our good friends Mr and Mrs P who love to travel. Your first challenge is finding the restaurant – also your first clue that it’s too trendy for its own good. It waits in the unmarked St Martin’s Lane Hotel, in the far left hand corner of the painfully minimalist lobby. The hotel receptionist gestured us towards it with a sigh that said, ‘I have to do this 20 times a day just put a **** sign up’."

The Assembly House

➤ Theatre Street Norwich, Norfolk NR2 1RQ, NR2 1RG, United Kingdom

Pubs • Beer • Wine • Sushi

"Went for Beauty and The Beast afternoon tea yesterday. Utterly stunning building and the room we were sat in was decorated beautifully. The service from start to finish was lovely although we did have to flag someone down anytime we needed something as we were not approached at all for more drinks or if we wanted our scones. The sandwiches were lovely and cut perfectly if not a little bland. The chicken roll was lovely and the toastie was nice but would benefit from stronger cheese as it didn’t really taste of anything. The scones were perfect and some of the best I’ve ever eaten. The sausage rolls were amazing as were the little tart and salmon mousse. The cakes very much let it all down. The blueberry cake tasted of nothing and seemed greasy. The macaron again tasted of very little and the red food colouring stained everything it touched. The lemon cake was nice but the icing was awful and it seemed to be made from margarine rather than actual butter. The chocolate mousse was lovely if not a little strong for the children. Both the savoury and sweet biscuits were out of this world. Our biggest complaint is that 4 of us were squeezed into a small table. We really struggled for space. I couldn’t drink my tea and had to hand back my pot of tea as we simply didn’t have space for it. We felt incredibly cramped. It would of been nice to have some music in line with the themed afternoon tea playing too perhaps?"

Maison Mayci

➤ United Kingdom, B13 8PX, Birmingham

Lunch • French • Brunch • European

"I have walked passed this cafe several times and not noticed it, nestled next to the big Co-Op supermarket in Moseley. So, I was glad when a friend said let's meet there. It was surprisingly spacious, with a lovely ambience and a great range of goodies to eat. Freshly baked bread pastries baked onsite with a distinctively French vibe. They also offer a more extended lunch menu, plus the usual coffee variations and teas. I didn't venture out to their garden because it was drizzling with rain, but from what I could see, it looked like a nice space for warmer days. The young Black lady who served was very helpful we didn't feel pressured to leave when we were finished. I will be back! Recommended stop."

Mosaic

➤ 60 Upper Thames St 3AD, London, United Kingdom

Wine • Coffee • High Tea • Bar-lounge

"The crab in the canapés was the standout dish—I think we all agreed we could have happily eaten a tub of that instead of continuing with the rest of the meal! The food was delicious, and I have no complaints. My soup remained hot until we finished our bread, which was great. I wish I had reserved some extra gravy for my bratkartoffeln, which I enjoyed at the end of my main course, but it’s good to know I could have asked for more. The portion sizes were just right. Although I’m not a fan of mice cake, I was offered cookies for dessert. My mother couldn’t stop raving about how good the coffee was. I also appreciated the novelty decorations, crackers, and the small party popper boxes. Unfortunately, there was a diner at a nearby table who was overly loud and rude, constantly complaining to the staff, which did disrupt our experience a bit. The restaurant was quite full, providing a lively ambiance from other diners, but this person wanted to be the center of attention, which was rather embarrassing. Despite that distraction, I still enjoyed our meal and would happily return for Christmas 2023."

The Fig And The Olive

➤ 254 Shear Brow Blackburn, Blackburn, BB18DS, BB1 8DS, United Kingdom

Cafés • Seafood • Asiatic • Fast Food

"I was recommended this place by a good friend of mine. The food was excellent. For starters, we had Mozzarella sticks and Nachos, both fresh and delicious. They offered some unique flavored Mojitos, and since I love Irn Bru, I had to try the Irn Bru Mojito. It was tasty but a bit pricey for a soft drink (£5). However, I suppose you get what you pay for. For main courses, we had minted burgers, lamb burger, crispy chicken burger, and a Sunday roast. All were flavorful and satisfying, and the burgers came with skin-on fries. For dessert, we enjoyed Churros, Bakewell tart with custard, and a fried ice cream ball, which was surprisingly delicious. The food was all halal, and I would definitely return for another great experience. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but be sure to call ahead and make a reservation."

Blakes Restaurant

➤ 33 Roland Gardens London, SW7 3PF, SW7 3PL, United Kingdom

Beer • Wine • European • Restaurants

"I’ve always loved the atmosphere and food at Blakes and the service has always been good. My experience was awful last Saturday though. Ambience and food were fantastic as always but the service was really bad. Extremely slow, we got served drinks about 40 mins after we sat having to ask for the drinks menu 3 times. The waitress was obviously a trainee with no idea about cocktails or wine. Not what you expect at a £100 per person restaurant. All else including the people at reception and cloakroom was flawless."
