"We popped in on a Sunday after some shopping. Coffee shops in the area were packed, no tables busy but we needed a respite after some shopping with our 11 month old baby. We stood at the door waiting to be seated which felt like an eternity. When we got in with our baby who was sleeping in the pram we were told that there was nowhere to pop the pram while he was sleeping but he could be popped in a highchair no problem at all. No checking how old he was etc (he was under his rain over not visible) what if I needed to breastfeed once he woke up? Or if he was a newborn the parents just wanted a bite to eat? There was adequate space for a pushchair, fancy turning away a family with a sleeping child. While I completely understand that you don’t wish to place a child next to friends couples dining out it’s a little unfair to turn away people on the basis of what are your restaurant regulations or whatever you want to call it do what’s morally right surely? Anyway the host was lucky our child decided to wake up at that moment because we were about to walk away considering the rather unwelcome greeting. We were hungry. Once we were seated it was all great from there. They managed to get a £50 lunch out of us! Myself my partner had black blue burgers which were cooked lovely came out within 10 mins of ordering. Our waitress was really lovely very friendly toward us smiley at our baby. Our baby had fish goujons with veggies fruit chocolate pot for dessert. He thoroughly enjoyed it. The highchair was a bit low for such a small baby so would be better if they got some with trays to avoid mess help out baby eat be more supported but he was excited either way. The high hairs were definitely more suitable to toddlers as opposed to infants. Generally a friendly service once we were there felt full satisfied so thank you to the lovely waitress for changing our experience. Just a quick fyi to the restaurant in general not all babies are loud cry. If your younger clientele aren’t happy with children in the middle of the day then maybe they shouldn’t be popping into a family restaurant?"

"Great little Indian restaurant, if a little out of the way! The meals are good, very authentic. The set dinners are very good value as well under for more than enough for people. Chicken dishes are the most impressive – big, tender chunks of chicken breast … delicious! The sauces are mouth watering, and very more-ish not ‘heavy’ like you’ll find in some other Indian restaurants. The only downside to this little place is delivery time we often wait more than an hour for our meal to be delivered, although this could be a glowing testament to how popular Mirage is!"

"In case you’re a little behind with the news, the famous St John Hotel off Leicester Square is out and in its places is a new French-Vietnamese restaurant (their words not mine), Leicester House. The site seems to have been doomed from the day it first came to life and changed through more hands than it should have in the past few years. Location can’t be blamed either, because after all – it’s slap bang in the middle of central London. There is a light at the end of this dark and gloomy tunnel however, with the arrival of the new Leicester House restaurant. This transformed Georgian townhouse is looking stunning right now décor wise, I can’t get enough of its sumptuous décor, plush leather chairs and shades of crisp Farrow Ball colours splashed across the walls. The food is just as good too – but its origins need a little homing in to help this place go further on the culinary scene."

"was exited to go to frankie and benny’s after a long day in cardiff, and was soon very disappointed when we ordered our food and it then took over an hour for our food to actually arrive. bare in mind there was only two other people in the whole restaurant and was not busy in the slightest. we had all ordered off the kids menu which we had thought would take a quicker time to arrive. we waited over an hour for the food to arrive and when we asked the server how long our food will take she said 5 minutes, this was wrong as it then came 10 minutes later at which this time we were all very upset and very hungry. when the food finally came the wait was not worth it!! i ordered pasta and mashed potato, the mash potatoes was dry and chewy and the pasta had no flavour and was just bland. Because of the awful service we decided that it would be better to takeaway our desserts instead of wait longer to eat them in the restaurant. the chef had told us the desserts will be two seconds and we had to wait another 10 minutes and on top of that they didn’t give us any cutlery and so we had to eat our ice cream with our hands. very upset and disappointed and this disgusting behaviour. not visiting ever again."

"Interesting visit. Firstly, we experienced no problems due to Coronavirus or the Eat out to help out . No difficulties with their safety processes, or having to wait for food. All the front of house staff were great, attentive and friendly. The food...it was VERY hit miss...the ribs, the chicken (breast, wings Southern Fried) was lovely. The fries were gross, like little splinters of balsa wood. We always have a side of fries with any meal, and the side of fries tonight was untouched, along with most of the fries with our respective meals. The steak that came with my 'Ultimate Grill ' was the most God-awful piece of meat I 've ever had put before me!!! They gave me a steak knife that struggled to cut the meat!!! In the main i dont really fully blame the kitchen, obviously they dont source the food, they just cook what they are sent, whether that be cheap and nasty frozen chips, or cheap nasty cuts of rump steak...but...I 'd still like to think that someone in the kitchen should be attempting some kind of quality control over what goes out... Not a completely ruined night, but for £80 spent, i expect better."

"We got to the door of SHE, the bouncer saw what she assumed was a female and a male, and refused entry. Absolutely shocking behaviour, in all places where one should feel safe and accepted, the bouncer was not accepting of us. We were two white people, who knows if it were different if we were not. Shocking, humiliating, and actually rather disgusting. I only hope this bar hires more accepting people without stigma’s, it completely ruined the experience of Soho, and an iconic bar like that should know better. Not fair, not right, absolute prejudice. The surrounding bars were far more accepting, and that pains me writing that, as I had high hopes. I’ve seen men inside SHE before, having a great time, but this was an absolute abuse of power from a unjust door person."

"Every visit here starts with a warm welcome! The front-of-house staff are incredibly attentive, creating a comforting atmosphere that feels like being wrapped in a cozy blanket the moment you step into this stunning bar. Each time I visit, I’m consistently impressed by the exceptional service. In London, it’s refreshing to experience a place where rudeness isn’t the norm. This restaurant is a perfect example of great service combined with a warm and inviting atmosphere."

"We were really disappointed to be greeted and told they were short staffed and not a lot of food was available. I feel we should have been made aware of this before we attended. The things we wanted to eat were not available, there was no rice! A cheap and simple ingredient. We all had to have burgers as not much else to offer but they did taste very good. The staff were attentive but run ragged. I’m glad we had the app to order the food and drinks. The bar area was filled with dirty glasses and no time to keep on top of them to clean as they made drinks for all. It was a bit on the noisy side for us too."

"The service at this restaurant was very slow, as others have mentioned. It seemed like they had enough staff, but no one was approaching the tables. The clearing of tables could have been done more quickly, as it negatively affected the ambiance of the place. However, the food was delicious and the setting was beautiful. Despite the service issues, we still enjoyed our meal and just wish the staff were more attentive."

"The service was prompt, though the food arrived slightly cold. However, it tasted great (even my picky cats enjoyed my dish, as well as the beef and mushroom combo starter). The starter plate was a good deal and just the right portion size. If I had to suggest an improvement, it would be to add more vegetables to the baked rice dish, as it felt more like plain cooked rice. The restaurant also offered complimentary spring rolls and fortune cookies, making it a good value overall. I would certainly return for another meal."

"I had eaten here a few times before and the food was good, however last time, I had to chase our orders and the manager came over and started shouting at me and insisted I told him whether he should sack his chef. Really unprofessional. However, last night, I thought we would go back. We arrived and were shown to a table. We ordered drinks and the same manager came over and said Im not sure when you will get your food! We asked what he meant. He said (in a very obnoxious and confrontational tone) We are very busy, what do you want me to do? Go and kick the chef? He started shouting and I simply asked if he could give me a rough idea of how long food would be. He got more angry and was shouting to the point where other diners were looking over. I tried to reason with him and said that we would wait but if he could ask the chef just to give us an idea, that would be great. His tone got even louder and he snatched our menus back from us. He said You better leave and then started on me, bringing up how I complained last time which was over 6 months ago. We were embarrased, astounded and felt so awkward. He ushered us out of the restaurant with everybody watching. We then went to Paprika Club and explained we were in a huge rush. Whilst I am a regular there, the restaurant was packed and they ensured we had a wonderful meal within 20 minutes. Been, you are an awful place and your manager is a joke. We will never return and I would urge others to steer WELL CLEAR!"

"The food seems reasonable for the price. I enjoy the food and the jasmine tea is nice. They refill the pots at no extra cost. I have been over the years and it has changed a bit in style and quality of food. I think the staff are nice and considerate. They check if we want to wait between courses, or if we are resting etc. I never feel rushed on the busy nights and often they recommend on portion sizes. I often go on quiet nights compared to weekend busy nights so my experience may be different conpared to other reviews."

"Came here for lunch before children returned back to school. We were seated straight away and greeted by our server Rowan our drinks and food order were wanted promptly. Have to give a special shout out to Server Lily who remembered our daughter from our last visit always so happy and friendly. Our food did not take long to arrive and all our meals were hot and very tasty. Our daughter gave everyone a big goodbye farewell on leaving."

"Went for lunch with my husband on 28th sept at 1pm, we were the only people in there...we have been to Belgos about 10 times always loved it but this visit has put me off !!! The only waitress was the rudest person I have ever met, tutting at me giving me dirty looks, I was too nervous to ask for another drink or even black pepper for my main. The food was very average, calamari was soggy (not cooked with any attention) it Spoilt a lovely afternoon out. Then the bill came and the service charge of £7.38 was added to our bill, we reluctantly paid it because I didn’t want the confrontation with the rude waitress and we just wanted to get out of there !!! I would like to add we are big tippers and will always tip more than there service charge.... but to be treated like we were an inconvenience was so discusting. Half way through our meal we were rudely told Not to go fir a cigarette break coz the food was on its way, we waited another 15 mins without our food so we got up and went for a cigarette, then on our return also waited further for our main to be served. We love the Belgium beers and like the experience of the bar tender to advise on different tastes but this was not possible with this waitress she was impossible, lazy and so unprofessional."

"I’ve never been so disappointed at a restaurant, and I won’t be returning. We were one of only three tables on a Saturday night, and it was easy to see why. The idea of all-you-can-eat for a set price sounded appealing, but the execution was lacking. We ordered six starters, and the ribs were tough while the spring rolls were underwhelming. When the main course arrived, one of my friends struggled to eat his dish. My chicken with spring onions and ginger was overwhelming, leaving me sweating all night and worried about feeling ill. If I had paid for this meal, I would have expressed my dissatisfaction directly to the owners, but our friends who handled the bill were just too nice."

"Sisha is one of the best in London but not all flavours are good quality and it is also not always same standard, when it is good it is super good, when it is bad you can't smoke more than 20 minutes. Mayne it depends on preparation. They should more often ask how the sisha tastes and learn from feedback. Food is average. Service is good. Ambience is great."

"I’ve only ever walked through the Corn Exchange once. Many many years ago. It completely bored me. I remember it being sparse, unimaginative with not much in there apart from the occasional art exhibition (the exhibits were always pretty good though). From the moment we heard Pho Manchester was opening, this restaurant sparked controversy in our house. Mo and I battled it out on how to pronounce this restaurant’s name, our Fantastic Four whatsapp group even changed to ‘Foh’ or ‘Fuh’ whilst we both constantly pleaded cases to prove each other wrong. A quick tweet led to Pho showing this:"

"The restaurant was bustling, especially on a Saturday, so we anticipated a wait. However, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. The food was delicious and the service was quick. We will definitely be returning!"
