"The experience was good overall. Unfortunately there was a few downfalls. The starters came out extremely quick and the sausage was overcooked (burnt). No one checked to see if the food was ok and the plates were taken away with addressing us. The mains were nice but WELL over seasoned, half way through the steak had to stop to take on water. We also had an additional dish put on our table that we hadn't ordered. I did say we would keep it (as it looked nice) but the waiter just took it away. the desserts were really nice and the non alcoholic cocktails were fantastic."

"I've personally never had a bad experience at Gaucho. The quality of the food is great personal preference, I also enjoy the ambience and style of Gaucho restaurants. Yes, it is expensive but I think that the whole package is worth the price.Big shout out to the guy at reception that pretty much ran to bring me my card that I've left on the table"

"Visited with my daughter before the Celine Dion concert on 29th July. First impressions were good but things went downhill fairly quickly. We arrived about 5.30 and were seated upstairs. Despite being fairly quiet staff still seemed a bit flustered. We ordered drinks and received the wrong order, when asking for it to be changed the waitress didn't totally understand the problem but eventually returned with that we ordered. We only had soft drinks but just tasted like cheap juice. The food looked lovely, with a good selection, but sadly not as tasty as it appeared. By 6.15 it was getting quite busy and as you would expect the food that was available soon disappeared. Unfortunately they just couldn't keep up with demand at this point and took ages to replenish food, plates and cutlery. People were waiting to be served with drinks and queuing for food for an unacceptable length of time. A few were complaining but weren't getting much response. An apology goes a long way to appeasing people but it wasn't forthcoming. When they finally started to top up the food it was going quickly again so no doubt it would've ran out again all too soon. We didn't hang around to find out once we saw the dirty, wet dishes that were brought out for desserts. That was a bit off-putting so we gave up and left.Probably nice when they don't have as many people to look after but wouldn't go back to find out!"

"Being immediately after New Year and early in the week, the restaurant was only moderately busy and comfortably accommodated our party of 8. The service was attentive and the food was good, albeit expensive especially when one adds in side dishes [chips, vegetables etc] each circa £4 to accompany the main courses. My main gripe is that the wine list is expensive, with the cheapest wines at £35 and rapidly rising thereafter for wines that aren't particularly special, which in turn bumps up the service charge."

"New Years Day the restaurant was busy but didn't feel crowded, Groucho position the tables with respectful space. Our waiter was outstanding, he gave us so much attention from helping us with off menu cocktails and wine selection, to patiently talking us through the meat cuts. We opted for steaks, which came cooked to perfection (not easy to get medium rare perfect but the chef nailed it) with all the sauces which where equally incredible. Advice leave some room for dessert, Sticky toffee, cheesecake and cookie dough are all highly recommended."

"Went for the 30 year Legacy menu , had starter of Argentine sausage, main of marinated steak, mash and fried onions (the chef kindly done them) really tasty. Had dessert of pancakes with dulche de leche sauce and ice cream really enjoyed it. Service first class as always"

"Not very busy for a Friday night, which was great as we booked last minute Asked for a bottle of wine, which took people to ask again and again what I wanted, finally arrived and not quite cold enough. Ordered scallops that were small and over cooked, these were quickly replaced and came back a much better size and tasted great Not offered a second bottle of wine, had to grab a wine list myself. Steaks were very good, blue cheese sauce was a bit too thick However our server was lovely and very good."

"We went as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children. I must admit the experience was pretty disappointing. The steak was a little over cooked, the chips were soggy (they must have been sitting under the heater for a long time) and the ribeye could have been a lot more tender. Burger was good value, chicken Milanese was over cooked. Service was great and ambience enjoyable. It’s a nice looking restaurant and a seat near the window is recommended, there is always something to look at. Probably won’t rush back."

"The service at this restaurant is consistently chaotic, and unfortunately, the food is very average and overpriced. To make matters worse, the food is served in the lounge area rather than in the main restaurant."

"Bottomless Brunch. Beware! Something is always amiss when they don 't show you pics of all that is supposedly 'bottomless '. Aside from your main, drinks are bottomless, and the only other food are salads and 1 type of bread. There 's no pastas, rice, or oysters as you see in the pics. Don 't be fooled. Service was amazing, but it was our first and last time there. We will go stick with the Oxbo Restaurant brunch, which includes SO much food AND desserts for the same price!!!"

"great place and excellent eating. Cheesecake light and creamy, never tasted better and not the full of pasta version, but creamy cheesy, excellent. service was a great polite and thoughtful, flexible booking before location to provide for pop in the guests. clean and tidy, maybe the floor covering should be improved as waiter, which by felt under my chair near."

"Once seated, we were quickly offered water, receiving one bottle of still and one of sparkling as requested. We were also offered other drinks, but everyone in our group was content with water. It took us a few minutes to decide on our order, which was perfectly fine since we weren’t in a rush. However, after a while, we began to wonder about the status of our food. We were a group of four, and a table for two next to us, who had arrived after us, was already being served. They, like us, had only ordered main courses, with the enticing dessert menu in mind for later. Another party of two on the other side was served their starters, followed by their mains, while we were still waiting. In the end, I lost track of how long we had been waiting, but I started to feel a bit embarrassed since we had recommended this restaurant to our friends. I decided to look for our waitress, as it had been a while since I’d seen her at our table. I asked her how much longer we might have to wait. She went off to find out but wasn't particularly apologetic. She returned to inform us that our meals would be served shortly. After another 5-10 minutes, our food finally arrived. My monkfish was delicious, while the princess parmigiana was a bit disappointing to those who ordered it. The beef looked fantastic, though the last slice was a bit tough. Regardless, we enjoyed our time with our friends, and there was a pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. Ultimately, no one was in the mood for dessert. After a couple of hot drinks, we asked for the bill. Since we couldn’t get the attention of our waitress, we requested it from another waitress passing by. A manager also assisted us in getting our bill."

"Harrods is a must do experience if you are visiting London. It is an awesome shop to look around and its huge. It’s window displays change frequently and are spectacular. It will take a few hours to have a proper look around but even looking around the ground floor you can browse a huge range of designer high-end handbags, jewellery, make-up and at the back of the shop the amazing food hall. Even if you have no intention of buying you will be pleased you visited. Upstairs the furniture areas are spectacular, and the shop is full of small cafes and bars to take a rest stop. You won’t find any bargains here and certainly you will probably pay a small amount extra for the same item v elsewhere but Harrods is about the spectacular shopping and browsing experience. This visit I only visited on this visit was the ground floor (as per photos) but I love all the floors here and often stop near the toy department at the frozen yogurt counter for a chill (and that place is nearly always fairly quiet and you can get a seat)."

"My friend I booked a table here for dinner as we had been here previously and loved it. When we arrived we asked if we could sit outside however the waitress said this is fine but would require the table back for half 7 (we arrived just gone 6) and that if we sat inside there would be no rush for giving the table back. We sat inside and most of the staff were very attentive and friendly. The food drinks were great aswell. However when it got to about 10 past 8 we were told that our time had run out on the table and we had to leave now and that when you book it says you have 2 hours despite a dessert menu being offered to us 10 mins before this. There was no heads up or prior warning given, the waiter then came over with the bill before we could even finish our drinks asking how we’d like to pay before we’d even discussed it. Once the bill had been paid and taken we were finishing our drink when the waiter came over for the third time and said you need to leave now and give us the table back and stood by the table waiting for us to stand up and go. Having been told there would be no rush to give the table back and not given any sort of 15 min warning so we could Atleast finish the drinks and request the bill ourselves the way this was handled completely ruined the nice food and drinks we’d had and rather than going to the bar we chose to go elsewhere because we didn’t feel welcome. Quite honestly it felt like we’d done something wrong and were being ushered out of the building. Really disappointing end to what was a nice meal out."

"Nice place. Service disappointing; loads of staff but very slow to ask for a drink order. Insist upon holding wine (chilling) away and out of reach of the table hence coming to try to fill your glass at the wrong time. Why can't restaurants understand that people drink at very different rates and don't want their glasses filled to a vulgar level before they have emptied the glass they are drinking? It is not only annoying but doesn't allow you to pace and watch how much you drink. And the wine is then not accessible when you want it! Despite requesting a very soft egg, the poached egg accompanying my fishcake was hard. The waitress (who has assured me it wouldn't be) was quick to bring me a replacement. Nice restaurant but I'd expect far better service from a good name like Ivy."

"Looking for a fun, boozy brunch to start your weekend with a bang? Well, the Bunga Bunga Saturay Brunch in Battersea offers you the perfect option to enjoy great food and drinks in an upbeat ambience. We had booked the brunch way in advance, but reached late for our seating sadly and had much lesser time than we would've liked. Even so, you can't really go wrong with unlimited prosecco and make your own bellinis and a delicious 3 course meal to go with it. The first thing you notice when you enter is the quirky decor of this place, and as the afternoon progresses there are many more additions to make the experience better. We were immediately seated at our table in between an absolutely packed brunch seating, and were served bread which we had to send back since it was cold. They then seved us another basket with warm bread and spreads, and the afternoon started. The starters Cold cuts and pastries were brought to our table while we decided what pizzas we wanted to opt for as our mains. The pastries were highly ok, but the cold cuts were great. Our jug of prosecco and mixers kept us company till the main course arrived, and we digged in. We ordered half the Englishmen's breakfast pizza and half Italy's fun guy pizza. The latter was our favorite, an absolute delight with mushrooms and truffle oil. We ended on a high note with the delicious strawberry sorbet the pistachio one was a bit of a let down. The staff was very attentive and kept refreshing our prosecco jug, the live singer added great funk to the setting, and the face painting counter was a hit! Overall, priced at 38 pounds pp this may not be the cheapest option around, but offers a fun afternoon with music, good food and drinks in a lively and fun ambience."

"I went for a business lunch, and although I wouldn't say it was a bad experience, I would be hard pressed to say it was an excellent one the portion sizes were a little hit and miss (very large side orders, but the starters felt a little small), and the service was not top notch. Being an Italian restaurant, I would have expected the waitress to know what a Negroni was, but that aside, things like the water not being left on the table and them forgetting to bring sides with the main course and needing to be reminded let the service down. It was not overly busy on the day we went, so there is room for improvement. There was nothing wrong with the food when it did arrive. Still, we didn't order anything out of the ordinary and having been to a few Italian restaurants recently, Bella Cosa, unfortunately, didn't figure high up on the places visited, which is a shame. Maybe it was an off day but overall as I say, although not a bad experience I couldn't say it was a great one."

"I arrived and told the receptionist that I have a reservation and he told me to go upstairs to another restaurant without checking anything or my booking. Then I went back there and he was with an awful face, looks like he didn’t want to be there. The pizza was very good but the other dishes like beef carpaccio and swordfish carpaccio with 3 slices of beef/fish and a lot of leaves…don’t worth it. They served a beer disgusting with a lot of dirty on the glass, we asked to change it 2 times. That is a shame because the place is very near my house, and the menu look’s great. But the service is terrible."

"My booking was for 6:30 and for the restaurants fixed price menu. But when I arrived and ordered (at about 6:35-6:40) I was told it was not possible to have the fixed price menu because the kitchen stopped taking orders for it at 6:30! How can you possibly accept a booking for a fixed price menu for 6:30 if the menu finished exactly at 6:30. It’s ridiculous and was embarrassing."

"I was given a voucher for afternoon tea for a special birthday and this is why we went to the Ivy. We were made to feel welcome and ordered two glasses of wine to go with our sandwiches and cakes. We weren’t offered any selection of teas to have which we have had elsewhere only at the end after we had finished eating. This was a bit disappointing. The amount paid for the afternoon tea was very excessive for what we received. We have received better value elsewhere especially with the addition of service charge on the final bill. The setting in the Orangery however was very pleasant."
