"I have actually now been to the Crown and Shuttle twice in recent weeks both times as precursors to the 'main event ' elsewhere. Obviously, as I 've been twice I liked it enough to go back. This pub sort of sprung up out of nowhere. I 've walked along that stretch of road and not noticed a publike venue or even anyone working on renovating a building and then one day there was a fully formed, nice looking pub sitting between the kinda sketchy Light Bar and Drunken Monkey. It stood out like a breath of air does in the winter. I must have gone past it when it was only just opened as it took me quite a while to discover its origins on the Net. Finally I found out that it had been refurbed from the remnants of a pub (which was possibly a strip club at one point), taken over by the people who own the Water Poet. They seem to have a penchant for beer gardens the one at the Water Poet is sprawling and they have done the same here. There are basically three sections to the pub the first third is what must have been the original pub building, then they have built on to this an extension making the outside wall of the old pub a feature wall within the new pub, and then the massive beer garden so big it holds a street van with pizza oven within it. The first time I went was on a Saturday (before Electro Swing) and had no idea it was so vast so it was a rather lovely surprise, especially as there were so many of us. The weather was too chilly to enjoy the garden but we did appreciate the faux woodstove that was in the corner near our group. I instantly liked the place. It felt both spacious yet cosy. It 's decor is woody but a light sort of pine wood, not heavy and dense. Everyone who came along said how much they liked the place and it was barely busy there weren 't really any seats that could accommodate my large group but there was plenty of space at the second bar to congregate around. My last visit was on a Friday and markedly different. It was heaving. Yet somehow me and my friend still managed to get a seat on a comfy love seat. Getting to the bar was a chore and a half clearly all the local workers in the area had caught wind of the place and were all there, ordering pints to take outside. Fair dos to the bar staff they were in no way slacking, but it still meant for a slow wait due to the volume of people crowding the bar. Intentions to have one medium glass of wine for each of us soon went by the wayside and I opted for a bottle in order to avoid having to pay another visit to the bar. I 've never before been so conscious of how long it takes to pour pints compared to serving my favourite tipple wine. Anyway, maybe not one for a Friday night if all you want is a quick drink but definitely a welcome addition to the area. I look forward to going back on a sunny day to enjoy the garden and maybe a pizza from their outside oven."

"Mezzorama offers a delightful dining experience. The restaurant was almost full when we visited, filled with couples and small families, without any rowdy groups. The food and wine were both excellent, and the service was top-notch. The only suggestion I have is for them to add more dessert options that are not ice cream-based. Although my partner's steak was cooked rare instead of medium as requested, I'm sure they would have gladly fixed it if we had asked. Overall, Mezzorama offers great value for the price."

"Attended a work event here. The space we were allocated on the first floor was so loud that somebody's Apple watch was giving a hearing loss warning. Bar staff were pretty rude, even shoving customers aside to get by. The outside balcony is quite nice but honestly I don't want to go back here."

"We ordered the set menu and food was nice but had to repeatedly remind the staff about the dessert and coffee, which was included to it. We also needed to repeatedly ask for extra cutlery and plates, in order to avoid sharing food from salads, meat platter etc. given the 'new normal ' situation. Nice atmosphere, although the place was a bit too noisy upstairs, mainly from the kitchen area."

"The service was disappointing. The waitstaff were not friendly or welcoming, and they seemed indifferent and eager to leave early. We received the bill 45 minutes before we finished our meal. While the food was decent, the lack of enthusiasm made the experience feel unappetizing."

"We waited 1 hour for our drinks. 2 hours for our meal. This was my 25th birthday dinner and we were served after 2 hours and were then rushed to eat within half an hour since the restaurants close at 11. We had to take away our steak and drink in foil. We were rushed to cook and eat our steak. We didn’t get any desert to the fact we had no time left to eat and we were waiting to have desert at the restaurant for my birthday. We paid just under £170 and the service was absolutely awful. 2 and a half hours booking should be enough time to enjoy your meal. At no point did anyone apologise for the wait. If I knew this is the experience we would get I would never have booked this for my birthday. Me and my siblings were so disappointed. Spending £170 I should not have had to take my steak home in foil, my drink home in foil after waiting an hour for the first round and not even get a chance to have desert. What a disappointing experience, this was the worst part of the day."

"This was our first time at this restaurant, but we decided to give it a try based on a recommendation from a family member. And we are glad we did! We absolutely enjoyed the delicious and abundant food offerings. The menu had a wide variety of options to choose from, making it difficult to decide. The service was excellent, with staff clearing our table promptly throughout the meal to ensure we had enough space. The prices on the menu were very reasonable, and we even got a surprise 50% discount on our meal, which was a nice bonus. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant when we are in Bristol again."

"We had a good dining experience. The food overall was good and the service friendly and efficient. The only downside part were the lamb skewers. It was made of pieces full of nerves and very difficoult to eat. We ordered another one but was the same. Definitely a point to which the management need to look into and improve."

"The staff did not bring the menu for at least 15 minutes and only brought it when we asked. We then ordered a set menu and a few extra items and some of the food never arrived despite reminding them that we were yet to receive it. We then asked for the bill (taking off the items which did not arrive) and was told by the waitress that this was not possible. We asked to speak to the manager who agreed to take a couple of items off the bill. He was apologetic and said the staff were new and needed more training. He gave us a 10 voucher. However, he decided to include the “optional service charge” in the card payment."

"The restaurant was closed despite having made a reservation through OpenTable, which was confirmed. We arrived only to find the doors locked, so we had to call them. When I first spoke to the man who answered, he didn't even realize they were closed. The place seemed entirely abandoned, so we decided to go elsewhere. I understand that they may have had their reasons for being closed, but they really need to cancel reservations or at least inform their customers!"

"I find it amusing that they sent an email asking for a review of a restaurant that is closed. They couldn’t even process our reservation, nor did they notify us beforehand. In fact, they even sent a reminder the day before our planned visit. I wouldn’t be so bothered if it weren’t for the fact that I specifically booked this restaurant through OpenTable on the Pasha website to celebrate a birthday. Thankfully, we were able to find another restaurant to eat at, but this experience has left me feeling hesitant about using OpenTable again. I will likely avoid this service in the future whenever I can."

"Great food and wine. Reasonable prices pleasant staff.Our only criticism would be that we were waiting for friends on an outside table. Meanwhile our friends arrived were shown an inside table so for 15 mins we didn't know each other were there! Misunderstanding of course...."

"Firstly, If I could give this no stars I would!! The man behind the counter was so friendly when we first approached but it was a bit too friendly, came across as quite desperate for customers (restaurant was empty) this should have been the first red flag! He kept pushing the bacon and avocado baguette and the garlic chips! We decided to stay to eat and my sister ordered the bacon and avocado baguette with garlic chips and I ordered the same baguette he was so pushy, do you want chips, “no” do you want coleslaw “no” I just want a baguette!! The tables were all sticky and clearly not wiped down for new customers. Inside was so dark and dingy so we moved tables to the outside area in the mall! The food arrived and it was an absolute disgrace! The baguette was as dry as a bone, no butter, the bacon was the pre packed already cooked nasty tasting stuff and we had 2 minuscule pieces of avocado inside not at all worth the nearly 10 quid we paid! I went inside to complain and ask for a refund and that’s when the very friendly guy turned really nasty, shouting and in our face, couldn’t believe it!! He was so rude telling me everything has gone up and that’s why he has to give so little inside the baguettes, he did refund us in the end but that is more because we were making a scene and quite frankly he was probably embarrassed of the food that came out of his restaurant (sorry cafe) if it is even worthy of calling itself that!! Honestly there are many other nice sandwich bars in Croydon you don’t need to put yourself through that!!"
