"First and foremost, some have mentioned that locating the restaurant can be a bit challenging. I experienced the same issue, so head to St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel by walking up the slope, veer to the far right of the building's facade, pass through the arch, and then turn left along the Upper Concourse until you arrive at the Brasserie. The service was exceptional and unhurried, the setting was pristine, and each course was presented with a relaxed interval between servings. The dishes were plated beautifully, although the portion of pork belly was small and overshadowed by the charred hispi cabbage. The Searcys gin-cured salmon gravadlax was superb, but my favorite was the Rhubarb Eton Mess dessert. There was a great variety of Champagnes to choose from, which is not surprising considering Searcys renowned Champagne Bar is located just opposite the restaurant's entrance."

"Great pub with nice food. Was there for a birthday party and we were able to reserve the snug area. It's a big place with plenty of room and a huge smoking area at the back. They have board games there which is a novel idea and there was plenty of competition between my Niece and Nephew playing chess which was fun to watch! Sounds funny playing chess on a night out but it was good fun especially as they become more under the influence I think there was a large number of craft beers available but I don't drink so can't comment on how good they were or what selection there was.. All in all I would go back. Good atmosphere, great bar food (served up to 10pm which is great) and plenty of space."

"We tried the early tasting menu (great value, book online beforehand). The food was beautifully presented and the portions were generous. They substituted all the meat dishes on the menu with vegetarian options, which were all incredibly delicious. The service was outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff, especially a charming French waiter. The atmosphere was lively and the outdoor seating was lovely. We would definitely return."

"The order was placed well within the delivery time frame as advertised on the Just Eat app. Two hours later and over forty minutes past the notification of estimated delivery, we rang the establishment. The staff member was rude and unhelpful stating that the delivery times stated by Just Eat were inaccurate. The staff member alleged that the order was complete and ready to be delivered but they were waiting on a delivery driver. Another thirty minutes later and still no delivery. We sought clarification via the app and it advised us that the delivery was changed to 8pm. At 8pm, and still no sign of the delivery, we asked for some money back via the app with the assurance that the order would still be honoured and not cancelled. We subsequently received the notification that our entire order was cancelled. At 8.12 pm I have to make dinner for my 8 month pregnant wife when I was ordering her dinner for 6 as a surprise. The whole thing is an absolute disgrace"

"I used to go here a lot when I lived here about a year ago and loved their food. Was back today and it has drastically changed. The service is so poor and they were so rude. The food is not cooked properly. I had the man made bowl with roasted tofu. The tofu was heated in the microwave. Barely warm and the vegetables (butternut squash&beetroot) still had the skin on and was rock hard. I do not recommend to anyone to go here. Very disappointed."

"What a nice experience tonight! Unfortunately I am away for work during valentines day. Oblivious until I realised that would mean me dining alone on a celebrated night for couples. AWKWARD! Put on my big girl pants and headed to the closest Pizza express (club app is awesome- lots of discounts if you are a fan) because its a easy favourite. Had a laugh with the staff regarding my table for 1 situation. Food perfect- classic pizza express quality. Service was great and attentive and everything as needed, with all requests met with happiness. Asked for a takeaway dessert as Its nice to have a sneaky treat before bed.... but mid snack I realised this was the note the server gave me..... how lovely. We had a giggle on my awkward dining experience, we talked about how being women it's always difficult being out dining alone. But this blew me away! So Niesa (hope this is the right name) thank you for supporting the lady on table 27 at approx 8pm. You are wonderful, thoughtful and a great champion of the pizza express brand! Hope they reward you well for the exceptional service. Happy valentines day!"

"There is one vegan pizza option available on the menu at this restaurant. It costs £12.50 for a 12-inch pizza, but other sizes are also available. The toppings include mushrooms, red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, green peppers, and vegan mozzarella. Customers can choose the thickness of the pizza base, and we opted for a medium thickness. There are some meal deals on offer, but it's unclear if the side orders are vegan, so I stuck with just the pizza. The pizza was excellent. The restaurant has several locations around greater Belfast. I placed my order online for collection, but they also offer delivery and in-person ordering. The operation runs smoothly, with pizzas prepared in front of you and cooked in a conveyor oven. There is no seating available, so it's strictly takeaway only."

"At the arrival we had to wait as they couldn't find the booking. When ordering one of my guest asked to have the chicken breast without sweetcorn and after the waiter came back saying the chef explained the sweetcorn is the main ingredient in the menu as it's cooked 3 ways and not having sweetcorn would alter the original taste of the recipes, my guest asked if something else could be added instead. When the food was delivered the staff didn't ensure we had everything we needed, salt and pepper were missing and a check back wasn't given throughout the dinner. The chips were dry and far overcooked, the RibEye was uneatable, the duck breast was tough, chewy and overcooked, the haddock dish was oversalted. Everything was a complete disappointment and not worthy all that money!"

"Vegetarian Options (Vegan upon request) WHAT WE HAD (3 Pax): 5 A Day £4.75] – Mint, Blackberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, Greek Yoghurt and Apple Juice; Radiant Roots £5.95] – Apple, Carrot, Ginger, Celery and Fennel; Golden Mango £4.50] – Mango, Tumeric, Yoghurt and Almond Milk; Full Veggie (Specially Made Vegan) £8.95] – Beans, Spinach, Mushrooms, Avocado, Grilled Tomato and Toast; Buttermilk Chicken and Waffle £8.95] – Avocado, Sour Cream, Jalapenos and Chilli Maple Syrup I came here for breakfast with my friends as they wanted to try the Buttermilk Chicken and Waffle. I did know that they have vegetarian options from the menu we saw the day before, but wasn’t sure if they had anything vegan. It turns out that they did not have any specifically vegan items on the menu. However, the waitress and kitchen was very accommodating and made modifications to the full veggie breakfast for me. It was your typical full breakfast made vegan that was simple and cooked well with fresh produce. I really appreciate how helpful and accommodating the staff were, especially in answering my questions in assuring me it was vegan. Really made me feel at ease. My friends enjoyed their Buttermilk Chicken and Waffle too which was a good portion too. We all loved the juice and smoothies we ordered as well! We also had a look at their cocktail menu which intrigued us. Excellent customer service, good vibes with the bright and fun décor that is still classy, good food at reasonable prices, I do see myself coming back here for dinner/to try their cocktails if I find myself in Edinburgh again."

"We had been booked on 14th February evening to celebrate Valentine’s Day, I don’t drink alcohol except some events, and not familiar to all drinks. When I asked them to explain about one of them which I hadn’t seen that brand before , two guys who were at the bar was starting to look each other and laughing. They keep laughing all the time when I was standing there. While we were surviving dinner I called waitress by fingers and one of guys who was at bar came to me and told me angrily don’t use your fingers when you need us. He said we do this to our dogs. Well I am from other culture and don’t know about other cultures. I came and apologized from that lady. As a customer my expectation is they should know the UK is full of ethnicities and they should have behaved calmly. So they didn’t make us our Valentine’s night"

"Upon arrival, we found ample parking and a beautifully set table by the window with stunning views. Starters were served promptly, with high praise for the quality and quantity of the dishes. The mains, including the Three Lakes Burger, were delicious and satisfying. The vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free members of our group were equally impressed with their meals. Desserts were a delightful end to the meal, with the option to take leftovers home in provided doggy boxes. The attentive staff checked in throughout the meal, offering great service and a friendly atmosphere. Afterward, we enjoyed drinks on the outdoor veranda, soaking in the lovely weather and views. Overall, our 4 1/2-hour meal was relaxed and enjoyable, thanks to the excellent service from Alex, Kerry, Jemma, and Charly. Many in our party, who had not been to the restaurant before, were pleasantly surprised by the hidden gem. Everyone agreed to return for future visits. The entire staff was helpful, friendly, and polite, making my son's birthday celebration truly unforgettable. Thank you to all at The Three Lakes for a fantastic experience."

"Out and about on a lunchtime constitutional along Portobello Road last week something interesting caught my eye. Set back from the road, hiding behind vintage clothes in the arcade, was an alluringly attractive Italian restaurant. On my own, without reading material and in a hurry to get back to work, I had no intention of sitting down to eat but I was compelled to go in and investigate. I glanced at the menu and clientele, was charmed by the decor of hanging dried meat and flowers, and decided I would return imminently.<br/ <br/ Thankfully an opportunity arose this week. I had taken it upon myself to arrange a lunch for myself and nine colleagues, and presented them with an option of four restaurants (secretly hoping that democracy would work in my favour). At first, take-up was slow as the more adventurous-sounding alternatives were far more popular, but risk aversion gradually set in and the simple Italian became the winner; a culinary hare and tortoise situation, if you will.<br/ <br/ “What if they don’t cater for big groups? What if it’s awful and I’m forever ridiculed for my restaurant choice?” Such questions were running through my mind, distracting me from my morning tasks.<br/ <br/ An amiable Italian gentleman saw the first sub-group and exclaimed “group of ten, this way please!” so we followed orders and went inside to our long table, immediately looking above us at the conservatory style ceiling and feeling as though we had walked into a Tuscan summer.<br/ <br/ Our charismatic waitress brought over an alternative to a complementary bread basket; a plate of amuse-bouche sized pieces of courgette frittata served on a forest of rocket. I was very impressed by this. They have foreseen that I’m going to be ravenous, having not eaten since my 11:00 AM apple; that I may not wish to bloat up on bread; that I enjoy being surprised, which I most certainly was. I had only been there ten short minutes and these people already knew how to please me more than some people who have known me for decades. If that isn’t customer service, I really don’t know what is. <br/ <br/ The menu is slightly unusual in that there isn’t the usual long list of pizzas and pastas to choose from, instead there were a couple of al forno dishes (baked in the oven), several paninis (with pizza bread), and a list of specials, a few of which were mains. I took from this that a decision had been made to offer a limited number of dishes, but to do them well.<br/ <br/ I had top-notch, considerably portioned gnocchi with bolognese sauce for £11.50, served whilst the tomato sauce was still bubbling from the oven, with fresh basil scattered on top.<br/ <br/ To make the experience even more superior, they should consider investing in a second credit card machine to take two payments simultaneously since this was a bit slow.<br/ <br/ I was really fond of this restaurant and highly recommend it. Now I just need to think up another reason to go back next week.."

"The first waitress was really stroppy and unhelpful. It's like anything was too much to ask for. Service was slow and we had to get up to get our own drinks from the bar when ready. She left the wine bottle on our table and walked off did not open an pour it for us. The second waitress we had later was very pleasant and the complete opposite she could not do more for us. We only went for drinks so cannot comment on the food, however food in the past has been great."

"As for the food and drinks, the scones were standard at best, though the cocktail was delicious and visually appealing. However, the tea was not to my liking; the chamomile flavor was heavily diluted, resulting in a poor tea-to-water ratio. The second waiter simply replaced my water glass with still water, and while he was apologetic, he admitted to forgetting our order. The cleanliness of the dining area also left much to be desired. Loud pop music from a nearby party and boisterous chatter from an adjacent table disrupted the atmosphere. On a positive note, the aesthetics of the main hall were festive and attractive, which was a nice contrast to the distracting noise."
