"Steaks were delicious, service was good only not friendly. When the waitress explained the various steaks, she spoke quickly and with her accent made it difficult to understand. Had a voucher for a free cocktail for all four of us and was told that I could only have one. The waitress brought the manager who said the same thing until I showed her the little print of the voucher and then she gave us two. But unlike that enjoyed the meal."

"Food was amazing and worth every penny! service was great until they had a shift change and we were left unattended as we had eaten by then, we had to chase for the bill and when asked it wasn't met with any words just a grunt. the original lady serving was great, she was lovely and chatty and was super. they had a good selection of drinks however this was a Saturday evening and they has run out of all sparkling wine that was served by the glass. One change i would make is to have more wine options by the glass rather than having to purchase a whole bottle. i was the only one of my party which was drinking wine and wouldn't have wanted a whole bottle to myself. overall great experience and food was amazing just a shame about the last part of our service and the lack of drink available considering it was a Saturday evening"

"I often come to gaucho and to say I was disappointed last night would be an understatement. My fiancé and I both ordered fillet steak, well I have never seen a cut of fillet steak as flat as the ones we had and the taste wasn’t great either. The chips were over cooked and we couldn’t eat them, the peppercorn sauce was so watery and didn’t taste anything like peppercorn, I couldn’t finish my meal. I wanted to make a complaint on the night as I wasn’t prepared to pay for my main meal but my fiancé told me to rather write a review afterwards as he finds things like that a little embarrassing. The starter was lovely but you can’t really go wrong with bread butter and the dessert was also ok. Very disappointing as we love gaucho but we won’t be going back there in a hurry. I’m not sure if you have changed management, but a friend of mine said they went to to the one in Tower Hill not long ago and they were also very disappointed. Seems like a lot has changed which is a real shame."

"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."

"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."

"Terrible. Service was atrocious, when there was any. Lots of very self important men strutting around doing little and a couple of very harried waitresses trying to do everything. Had to flag someone down to order, after 15 minutes waiting. One coffee didn't arrive so had to order again. When food did arrive it was barely warm and the scrambled eggs tasted grainy and unpleasant. Not going back here and I do a fair amount of business breakfasts. I was shocked at how bad this was."

"I received a voucher as a Father’s Day gift and had the choice of this venue or their Glasgow restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was very tasty. I chose a traditionally Scottish meal on this visit, while my wife opted for a more traditional Italian dish. Both meals were great, as were the sticky toffee pudding desserts. Despite skipping starters due to our smaller appetites, the portion sizes were just right - we felt satisfied without feeling overly full. It had been many years since my last visit to the restaurant, but it was just as good as I remembered. We will definitely be returning in the future."

"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."

"nice eating, however, somewhat disappointed by the service. ordered an English breakfast tea, brought it to the table, then when we asked for milk, they ran out. return the tee, and wonderfully managed to find milk. not enough waiting staff and had to wait long for any service."

"Head staff were very rude and service terrible .. the main food took forever , sides didn’t come with the main dishes when they did finally arrive . Only one desert came we reminded them two times we was still waiting then the head waiter rudely told us we had to go asap because the table was needed . He still insisted while we politely explained the food had taken forever and we was still waiting on a desert . We ended up rushing and even had our drinks cancelled no finding us somewhere else to finish deserts and drinks absolutely appalling . On a plus the young girl serving was embarrassed and couldn’t understand the behaviour of her superiors , it’s a shame she wasn’t in charge . The only good thing about this place is convenience but there are plenty of better options as it certainly wasn’t a cheap night maybe we should have kept complaining instead of being patient . Avoid ."

"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."

"We had a great experience at The Ivy Clifton Brasserie. Despite making last-minute changes to our reservation, we were seated early, and the service was patient and attentive to our group’s needs. The menu had excellent vegetarian and vegan options, along with a dedicated children’s menu. I particularly enjoyed the onion soup and truffle arancini. The décor was beautiful, and we took many wonderful photos during our time together. Fresh ingredients, great flavors, and a lovely atmosphere made for an enjoyable meal. Highly recommend for families and those seeking quality vegetarian or vegan dishes."

"The first course arrived promptly, but it was a significant disappointment. We ordered half a duck and pancakes, expecting a reasonable portion, but what we received was the tiniest serving imaginable. It bore no resemblance to the half duck we usually enjoy at other restaurants. What we had was dry, bland, and not worth the £30 price tag. To make matters worse, our main courses were served before they had cleared away the plates from our first course, leaving us with no space on the table for the entrees. We had to literally request that they clean the table so we could fit the main dishes. The restaurant was quite empty, and it felt like they wanted us to leave as quickly as possible so they could close up. When we voiced our concerns about the food and service, the staff laughed at us, which was incredibly unprofessional. It's no wonder the restaurant was so empty. Located in the Dorsett Hotel in a busy area of London, none of the six of us plan to return. Although we had considered staying at the hotel on our next trip due to its affordability, this experience has ensured that we will not be returning, as it poorly reflects on the hotel’s overall reputation."

"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!!!"

"We waited an hour for our food to come. When it came it was cold. I sent mine back which then took a further 30 minutes to come out with a fresh one. My partner said his full English was not good quality and was also cold. There is no allergen information on the menu next to the dishes. Was very busy but seemed very understaffed and as though they were not prepared for a busy service. It was very clean and the manager was good. The bill was altered. Personally I wouldn’t go back for breakfast. We wanted to try something new but were disappointed."

"Sunday lunch was underwhelming the veggie stack resembled a sad vegetarian burger patty with overcooked vegetables and the chocolate fondant was more like a dry sponge. Wouldn 't be surprised if it was all defrosted in the microwave. Service was a well intentioned but calamitous performance by uninterested and under trained staff. The ambience was raucous. It was, however, cheap; you get what you pay for, I guess. Would not return nor recommend."
