"I was disappointed with my experience. The food was much better during our last visit. My poached egg was almost cold, and the mushrooms and poached egg were served on some heavy, soggy bread that was meant to be toast. It’s a pity because everything was delicious before. For dessert, there was no rice pudding, which was one of the main reasons we chose to come here. However, the chocolate fondant was delightful. On the positive side, the service was excellent."

"There aren't plenty of suitable options for vegans so hopefully you’re not too hungry as quantities are quite small. We ordered a few tapas (bang bang cauliflower, vegan red dragon roll, chunky chips) and some cocktails. It's a nice place for a date for example or if you're more thirsty than hungry, although it won't be cheap. Food was okay but not amazing, it's not the type of place I would go regularly if I have other options nearby."

"This used to be our favorite place. Was told it had gone down since changing management but wanted to see for ourselves. We went last night and it was terrible. Food overcooked. Too much pepper. Was too much sodium. We had to send dishes back due to them being inedible. It was also empty which was sad to see as it used to be a scene and busy"

"We went as a group of 6 to celebrate special birthday. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and the place was clean but the noise level was awful . We couldn’t really talk to each other and as we were seated near the door , it got very cold as people kept going out to smoke and back in leaving the door open . It was awful as every 5 minutes a group would go out for smoke . I would definitely recommend the food"

"We have been seated at the coldest table next to the Window , close to the kitchen. It was my mums birthday and we did make staff aware of it. Nobody have done check back when we had our starters which were not the greatest....We have waited for mains over an hour, nobody gave us cutlery after we had our starters , we were have to request. When we did that , the girl with dark blonde hair rolled her eyes on us. My mums majito was most of it ice , she couldn’t drink it , we asked for another one instead with no ice and in a smaller glass. The manager ignored our request and bought a drink to the table in the same long glass with full of soda that my mum couldn’t taste alcohol. The noice level was way to high the chefs were shouting and constantly complaining that none of the staff taking food. The entire our service was spoiled. Additionally, nobody asked us if we have any allergies. My brother had a burger with a spicy mustard which is not specified in a menu, myself I am allergic to spicy. Theoretically I could of been the one who tried the burger to check if child’s food is warm. They lucky that I didn’t. over , neither the waitress or the manager haven’t introduced themselves to us and it makes sense now. Overall , we wouldn’t recommend the place. Too pricy for a horrible service."

"Our experience at this restaurant was not great. We received the wrong food order, which was bland and we didn't finish it. Despite our request for an apology gesture, we received none. The lack of a notepad for taking orders accurately likely led to the mistake. Additionally, there is a sit-down fee of £5 per person on top of the shisha price, and customers are required to share tables with others, which we found to be absurd. As a result, we decided to leave the shisha place and go to another lounge after dinner. Overall, our experience was disappointing and we have no plans to return. We do not recommend going out of your way to dine at this restaurant."

"first. ice cold with other customers was also complaining about eating with their moms how we visited for our Christmas party! our ancestors came and were average, had to develop our own garnel and send out what is not really acceptable for a £6.50 starter to find that they were actually quite tasteless. after a very long waiting period came the main course. what a catastrophe! a steak demanded rare, came on the outside burned and raw on the inside so that it hard and indefinable, two more steaks asked medium, came chew and done well. accompanied by limp lettuce from a description. the accompanying sauces were also disappointing. chips were ok. No one came during our meal to ask if it was okay. so that a member of our party must go and find someone who tells them how disappointing our food was. at this point everyone else was cold and hungry and had made a decision we wanted to go. we got 50% discounted from our food bill, but since this was our Christmas meal, it put a damper on our evening. we will not recommend oaks or return!"

"I was really disappointed with the service. It felt like no one knew what they were doing. Although we received a warm welcome and our orders were taken promptly, that was the extent of the service we experienced. The restaurant wasn't busy, and there were plenty of staff around, but we barely received any attention. We didn't get offered any additional drinks, and since we were there to celebrate a 30th birthday, we were hoping to enjoy plenty of cocktails. Eventually, we had to flag someone down to request more drinks ourselves. As for the food, it was just average—edible but nothing special. The ambiance of the place was nice, but the subpar service really ruined the overall experience for us. I don't think I'll be returning."

"We had to queue for a while to get in but we had prebooked online on Gotham’s website using a Virgin Gift Experience voucher (and we put the details of this voucher in during booking). We had a booking confirmation from Gotham but the receptionist then said that we needed to bring email confirmation from Virgin on top of the hotel’s booking confirmation (we hadn’t actually been sent one from Virgin so had nothing to show her). The receptionist was dismissive and made us feel really embarrassed in front of all the other people who were queuing. She said there was nothing she could do and suggested we either leave or pay for the afternoon tea ourselves, despite the fact that it had already been paid for. Whilst we tried to find the voucher details online other people in the queue were having similar issues with their vouchers. Eventually we managed to log into the Virgin website to find a code and were allowed in. But by that time the receptionist was visibly p ed off with us and what was meant to be a birthday treat was really stressful and uncomfortable for both of us. We laughed about it during the afternoon tea but it was a pretty horrible afternoon. If your tech and booking systems don’t work very well then just be kind and helpful about it. It was supposed to be a special day that we had been looking forward to and you kind of ruined it."

"The food was nice, though I didn't think it was huge value for money given the portion sizes. I ordered the chicken thali dish and it came with a small amount of chicken, portion of aloo saag, and small portion of dhal. The remaining parts of the thali were just salad (which looked brown) and yogurt. This isn't a lot for the price. In addition we were sat at the window seat. Not a good idea on a hot day as they have no shade and the ac is poor so we ended up being very hot. Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £20–30"

"The restaurant is very good decorated and it’s staffs are friendly. Regarding the food, I visited the restaurant on the morning to have my breakfast there. I ordered pancake and black coffee. The coffee arrived before the pancake and it got cold waiting for the pancake. When pancake arrived was very good looking and nice taste but I think it was not freshly baked. Table was not cleaned very well and it was sticky !!"

"The star rating would be zero if I was able to award. Booked Liverpool Bougee months ago for a 50th birthday, had a 4 hr round trip, tried to call them to discuss allergies for one of the party with no one answering the phone. Saturday arrived and managed to get through to another branch only to find out Liverpool branch was closed. Bougee once again demonstrates contempt for its customers. Absolutely disgusted with this restaurant and will not be booking it again. Would have only taken a phonecall to tell prebooked customers of the closure. Zero stars from me."

"We booked to go here for my sister's birthday. They called an hour before the booking to let us know that their bar tenders hadn't come into work and therefore they couldn't do the cocktails. I asked about their bottled drinks and mixers and they said they will still be served, just not the cocktails. When we arrived we were waiting for a minute or two before a host arrived to seat us. When we were seated we waited about 5 10 minutes before a waitress came to take our order we hadn't even been given the menu yet. Afterwards we asked if we could have the bottomless bubbles and we were told we couldn't have that option because of the shortage of bar staff but we were welcome to buy prosecco. I didn't really understand why, and also why we hadn't been told that before, even though I had asked about the drinks. Anyway, the food came, some of the order was wrong, and the food was okay but not worth the price. It was really quiet so no atmosphere at all. Just all round disappointing. Quite nice for some pictures, but that's about it. I doubt we'll return."

"we really enjoyed our meal here. came to celebrate our 9th anniversary. Unfortunately, we were not told during our booking that we would only have 90 minutes of the table, as we felt in a hurry and on cursing a bad decision from the office hardly jumped fair on the staff. my main meal was pork belly it was divine 10/10 my man had the rib and he was very happy with him cooked to his lust. I decided for the mont blanc from the festive menu for dessert it was such a disappointment 1/10 bought in meringue very small chestnut and saw chocolate drops that were more like what they melted down for tempting. cote should improve or take it from the menu. I have let the server know of my unmut, unfortunately I have paid the full price for it. our drinks were well made and the wee was excellent, the employees were very friendly and efficient, especially the cookies served. so close to getting 5 stars."

"My missus wanted to go somewhere for brunch, so picked this spot. It did not let us down. Good parking availability on a bank holiday, and we all enjoyed our meals. My burger was cooked a perfect medium, and the gherkins were cut super thin (thick gherkins overpower/ruin any good burger), and the cheese was melted onto the burger Just how it should be. The Aioli the fries were served with was either freshly made, or very high quality pre bought. Fries were crispy, too. The full English wasn't the best, as the sausage was overcooked, and we received fried eggs instead of poached. That being said, mistakes can happen. The service staff (not one, but 4 of them) were phenomenal with the kids. They all said hello, offered the little ones high 5s, and we're very cheerful with the kids. I don't know if this is a rule from management, we just happened to see the right 4 service staff, or my kids happen to be cuter than most But I'm going to go with management expecting their staff to be friendly with kids. Prices were good for the area, but a little overpriced for the food, so no complaints there. Would I visit again? Yes."

"I suppose there are 5 stars in all. with good design and decorations, very nice personal and beautiful menus! Unfortunately, it was an annoying mosquito of lemon slices on the table dressed, and some unacceptable short-haired things that float on my wein. the dame gave me a new wee, as she might think I was using by telling her there is something in the weinglas. Finally it was a nice lunch next to the train station!"

"I was surprised to receive a text while en route to the restaurant stating that my table, reserved for 6:30 PM, would be needed again at 8 PM. Having to finish an expensive meal in just an hour and a half is quite disappointing! Fortunately, the restaurant was quiet on Wednesday evening, with only five tables occupied. However, given these conditions, we won't be returning. When I made the reservation, there was no indication of any time limit on our table."

"So I did Ping Pong twice in a week. Once with a friend because it was local (St Paul's) and second, because I was at Wembley for a concert and it was the one with the smallest queue. Ping Pong has never really been a draw for me in the past, its never been a case of I MUST GO THERE. I have passed it several times when in Westfield Stratford and settled on Bumpkin, Busaba Eathai, even TGI Friday's. I am starting to come around to dim sum. With recent visits to Hakkasan, Bintang and Mama Lan, these tasty Chinese style bite sized pockets of goodness are growing on me. Ping Pong spaces are always quite big. I love the dark wood and rich chocolately interior. I live for the island seating, watching the Chefs do their thing (not at all locations). For now, I will focus on Wembley, simply because I was impressed with the seamless service regardless of the fact that it was mad busy with concert goers everywhere. We queued for 45 minutes which is to be expected with 65,000 people in the area. This was made up of actually standing in the queue and then having a drink at the bar. The system they have is good, they take your mobile and call you when your table is ready. This is the only way for them to successfully navigate through the traffic of bar customers and queuing hungry people. At the bar, my only negative so far was that the wine was not chilled so we needed ice. Diluted wine is not a good thing. Once we were sat, our waitress was unaffected by the demanding clientele in her section, was chirpy and attentive. The sequence of service was flawless. Drinks arrived promptly, food arrived as it was ready. The food was good. All the staff floated around the room, appearing to be in control. If there was tension, I could not see it. This site is obviously built for volume on days like this and they have the right team to facilitate it. In terms of food, I will amalgamate both dining experiences as they were on par. We went all out ordering duck spring rolls, prawn on toast with mango salsa and soft shell crab. There was also prawn and chive dumplings, I had black prawn dumpling. Honeyed chicken and mushroom rice pot and vegetable sticky rice completed the banquet. I think that Ping Pong lends itself well to sharing. There is so much goodness, it would be rude not to share. I will continue my dim sum journey and if Ping Pong happens to be in the vicinity, it will certainly be considered for another visit."
