"I booked this restaurant as a surprise for my daughter 's 18th birthday; had promised to take her for ages. This has to be one of the best Chinese restaurants I 've visited in a long time. And the best service in any restaurant; a lot of other places could learn from this place. We were greeted on arrival and shown to a table and I asked for a candle, as were on other tables, as it was her birthday. No problem! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with space between tables and the whole place feels comfortable and airy. As for food we had the traditional mixed platter to start followed by egg fried rice, sizzling lamb and from the 'traditional Chinese menu ' we had flat noodles with marinated beef. All delicious and the lamb and noodles are especially recommended. They serve Cantonese cuisine plus traditional Chinese dishes if you would like to try something more 'authentic ' and they are happy to explain any dishes you 're not sure about. If anything is left over it is boxed up for you to take home. The service is brilliant and I have to say a big thank you to the waiter who served us, sorry I didn 't get your name. As it was my daughter 's 18th they surprised her with banana fritters and chocolate ice cream as a surprise even sung happy birthday and gave her a gift. What a lovely restaurant! We will definitely be back. Thank you very much to the owner and your lovely staff."

"Just back from my lunch. I read some reviews and initially thought some people were very hard to please given the number of very good reviews written, the restaurant was established over 50 years ago, so clearly in my head, must have been doing something right!. However now fully understand where these dissatisfied customers are coming from. I eat often in restaurants -lunch and dinner, what can I say. This is probably the worst meal I've eaten, the worst service ever and given the restaurant has been here well over 50 years, quite shocked at the calibre of the food and service which was zero!. On entering the restaurant we bumped into a guy on the stairs, who we thought was a customer. . He mentioned he was going out for a cigarette, entering the restaurant we wondered if there was any staff at all, no welcome whatsoever . To our horror the guy on the stairs was the guy who served us, totally unprofessional, extremely casual and not smart at all to be a waiter. He never said a word or offered any service at all. No simple thank you or any word was uttered, basically the food was dumped on the table! The meal, absolutely awful and the not of the standard from many years ago, when I used to go to the Rendezvous. Totally disappointed as our lunch was for a special occasion. Do these restaurants learn anything from these reviews, I'm not so sure. The meal was overpriced and definitely not value for money at £14.99. We certainly won't be returning!"
