"Service was just terrible! Usually really good, but this time we were just ignored. I booked outside, but just automatically tried to put us inside. Cleared a table for us outside, no problem. However whenever we wanted to order we had to shout someone over, no one ever came to check on us/take orders. The ‘host’ even said she had no idea where our tables hostess was "

"The food was outstanding, and the cocktails were just as impressive. Our server who delivered our meals and drinks was friendly and charming, truly a great asset to the restaurant. However, the experience started on a sour note when the woman who initially seated us failed to provide the early bird menu or the 2-for-1 cocktail menu. She rudely pointed out that it was already 18:05 and that the deal was only available until 18:30. I'm not sure what her intention was, but it certainly left a bad impression at the beginning. Despite that, the food and drinks were excellent."

"Beautifull hotel, I guess one can call it trendy , but I just don 't understand how they can justify the price £130/night and that most of the time will go to £160 as they run out of entry level ones. So I guess the answer is there because people pay for it! But let 's just make some relevant comparisons Birmingham Grand literally in the heart of the city, brand new, 5* hotel, with all recently decorated rooms to the highest standard is £135 15 for breakfast. Needless to say rooms are air conditioned, fully equipped and genuinelly very posh. Hotel has lifts, has porters and the service is top notch. The Lion is barelly 4* just for trendiness alone, but the actual quality of furnishing is closer to 3*, has no lift and you will be lugging your bags up and down mutiple flights of stairs (and I mean multiple like 8 going up and down) trought narrow corridors to mediocre room (nothing wrong with it just mediocre) which isn 't even air conditioned. Sorry, I just don 't get it. That said restaurant is good fully fine dining if you are into it. Althought in my oppinion it doesn 't fit into the rest of the hotel. So it is ~3.5* hotel which is very youghtfull and trendy and then you get 5* fine dining with very tiny portions for the dinner (which is not criticism of restaurant, it is very good on it 's own). In conclussion I just don 't get what niche this hotel is filling, who stays there and why. The price for the rooms should be £75 95 tops. Shreesbury is not exactly prime tourists destination either (at least shouldn 't). But it seems it is working out for them, I just would not recommend it, I would not stay in it again and it is definatelly not worth the price. Neither in isolation, nor in comparison."

"Heard that this was one of the better places in Edinburgh to visit if you wanted a good cocktail. So this is were we headed. On approach it looks very posh (well it is in George Street) and inside the decor is rather grand if a little open and cold. No doubt this works well on weekends with large groups. We ordered some bar nibbles roast nut mix and the marinated olives. Good sized bowls and rather tasty with the cocktails. I was pleasantly surprised with the cocktails, they are a decent size with a good whack of alcohol. For approx £8 a cocktail you would hope so, but I've paid more for a lot less. We started of with two Brambles and then slowly worked our way through the menu. The Bramble cocktail is gin, lemon juice and Creme du Mure served over crushed ice with a slice of lemon and a hint of blackberries. It was lovely! We managed to get a nice seat in the corner by the window and spent the night listening to the DJ, sipping cocktails and talking nonsense. A fabulous way to spend a Friday evening."

"We booked The Hope for a family get together, it's really close to Central Station therefore it was convenient for everyone to meet there for lunch! When I was looking in to booking something for us I checked the website and it said the pub was family friendly, perfect as we were bringing our wee boy! Disappointed however when we were ordering food to discover that there was no children's menu! The staff serving our table were very nice and although a bit slow in getting the food orders they were on hand to take our drinks orders right away! The food was nice, nothing to write home about but a good meal none the less! One waitress in particular was very helpful with our wee boy, regularly checking to see if she could get him a drink and asking if we wanted his food kept warm while he had a nap! The Hope is a family favourite of ours for its location, it's welcoming staff and a beautiful building too! We will definitely be back, if a children's menu was introduced it would be perfect!"

"We only recently started going to the Piper as it's under new management. The new landlords are lovely. They made us feel very welcome and the atmosphere is great. The food was excellent value for money and plenty of it! We will now be going on a regular basis. I know it had a bad name in the past but I would encourage anyone to give it another try. It's amazing how new management can make such a difference in the space of 3 weeks!"

"The restaurant called to change our reservation time, mentioning that they were very busy. It was clear they weren’t prepared for the Father's Day rush. It took a long time for our food to be served, and several menu items were sold out. The waiter had to return multiple times to inform us that the dishes we chose were unavailable, including our dessert options. The food itself was quite disappointing, and the dining area is small and in dire need of an update. I usually like to support local businesses, but unfortunately, I won’t be returning to this restaurant."

"We had room 25 and stayed for 2 nights. The room is very spacious with duel aspect windows overlooking the bar area. The power shower leaves a bit to be desired but overall was OK. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Our relation used the new steak restaurant and said it was amazing."

"I have been here before with my family to celebrate a birthday and we could not fault a thing. Decided to treat my friend to a meal out and again the food and service were excellent. The only down side to this visit was that we had a early booking and the restaurant was cold. By the time we left the room had started to fill up and was a bit warmer."

"Great service great food really happy here, social distancing wasn't a problem they have a great system for the toilets so there is never too many people in there, the food is some of the best pub grub I have had in aberdeen and highly recommend to anyone that hasn't been, the staff are great only pester you at the right time when you need another drink rather than every 5 minutes was great to be here over all. As Arnold Schwarzenegger once said I'll be back."

"We waited quite a while for our meal to arrive, it was a Friday evening, yet the restaurant was deserted and the ambiance a little subdued. When the meals finally arrived to say I was disappointed was an understatement, it was one of those meals, pretty, but tiny, more like a starter than a main, a medium plate with an island of two small lamb chops, two very small thin carrots, a tablespoon of pureed peas and a potato oblong with a couple of drizzles of black sauce dotted about. I tried to savour every mouthful, but it still only took a few minutes to eat, tasty, yes, but left me still very hungry, at £21,50 I didn’t feel it represented value for money and yes, I could have had a starter, sides, desert and a glass of wine, I’m sure would have left me more satiated. At quite a considerable cost?"

"Booked for New Year's Eve. per head. Service adequate but I have to say the food was not good. Pre prepared and not fresh. The amuse bouche was a piece of French bread with smoke salmon, more like a badly done canape. The Starters were accompanied by limp salad, the plates they were served on very cold evidencing they had just been sitting uncovered in a fridge. Very odd rock hard goat's cheese, and for others, tiny pieces of dry sardine. As for the main, beef wellington, the fillet of beef overcooked and resembled a piece of shoe leather, I doubted it was even fillet. The pastry was raw on the inside and undercooked, and soggy on the outside. Think had been pre cooked and microwaved. Worst beef wellington I have ever seen. We all sent back and chef offered rack of lamb.Sadly this was presented raw, not rare, with huge chunks of broccoli, soggy roast potatoes and carrots. Those who ate fish said was adequate, but the spinach and ricotta filo main had by one was also raw and underdone. As for the apple tart, again some received ice cold from the fridge, others luke warm although the flavour was good. Actually spoilt New Year's Eve and we left hungry. What was even more annoying is that I believe we were not charged for bottles of wine, but were expected to pay for the nasty food. I would rather have paid for the wine. I will be contacting the restaurant owner for a full refund, minus the wine. I can't believe we were actually charged a head for the meal, pretty disgraceful in my opinion. We actually doubted whether there was a chef in the kitchen."

"We booked to go to The Ship for a family get together. From the time we arrived, we were looked after by the whole team and nothing was too much trouble. From giving us extra portions for starters, so we could split them more easily, to giving us a dash of wine we we joked that some cream had been spilt in an empty glass (which it hadn’t! , the service was exemplary. We were able to stay on our table the whole evening and at no point felt rushed. The food was also amazing, and excellent quality. We will definitely be returning and will rave about this place to anyone who will listen!"

"We arrived on Mother's Day, having traveled from near Preston, only to find out that there was a mix-up with our reservation, and we didn’t have a table! It was disgraceful. We were directed to another venue where we were assured we would be accommodated. However, by the time we arrived, our lunch booking had been mistakenly changed to a dinner reservation. With three small children who were hungry and tired from the journey, it made for a very unpleasant experience. The staff at the alternative venue, Brook Meadow Hotel, did their best to make up for the chaos created by Sheldrakes, but there were several others in the same predicament as us. We will not be booking with Sheldrakes again. As a poor attempt to make amends, we were offered a free bottle of wine, which was shocking!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at the Ventana. Welcoming staff, lovely ambience, and nothing was too much trouble. We had scallops and a delicious salmon dish to begin, followed by a cod fillet for me , served with a potato rosti (that was a little too big! , and fillet steak, cooked just how he likes it, medium rare, for hubby. Good wine, too, and attentive service, so much so that we've re-booked to return in a few days. It's a short walk from our timeshare overlooking the sea. This was quality food and a memorable meal."
