"I had been planning to return to this restaurant for a few years. I finally went back today and was pleased to find it empty on a bank holiday Monday for brunch. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was just average and our order was not quite correct, although we were slightly overcharged on the bill. There was no butter with the toast and no offer of condiments. The coffee was good and the staff were pleasant, but the service was only average. The prices were already high, but considering the location, they could have been acceptable with better quality food. What I found unacceptable was the 12% gratuity added to the bill. In summary, it was an overpriced, average cafe brunch in a great location. In my opinion, it could have been packed on a sunny bank holiday morning if the food had been better."

"It's a very nice restaurant with a casual gastro pub vibe. The food was delicious and good portion sizes. The service was quite slow and it was a little confusing who was supposed to be looking after our table. We had queries that seemed to bounce around the staff. A real shame as I think with better service this would have been a much higher rating. Despite this, the restaurant was clean, the food was good and the staff were friendly but a little distant."

Tea • Hotels • British • High Tea

"I had a good time with a friend on my birthday there. However, there are several points to criticise about the afternoon tea we had: it took 45 minutes to arrive when we had a booking specifically for afternoon tea and other people had long been served already and it really wasn’t busy with new arrivals. The service was friendly and welcoming but seemed very busy and often it took a long time until we were noticed to get some more drinks. The scones were good, the sandwiches rated from not good and we didn’t eat it to very good. We only tried some of the cute looking pastries as felt quite full already at that time. It was very hot and noisy in the restaurant, the bar area however was too cold. Not possible to have a window opened in that area. They need some noise cancelling materials in that large room. It was fine for the day but wouldn’t go again nor recommend."

"eating was average, casual afternoon tee but service was pretty good, friendly and looked us well. we asked them to fill the hot water several times in teapots, but they weren't hesitant to do (really, many waiters/waxes are when I ask or even they often (I mean exactly right timings! asked us if everything was in order to rush it very quickly, changed tee leaves as well as if this price class. I was at almost all high-end afternoon places in london, not only once, at least a few times in every hotel, sometimes (minor? I have to wait long to just order / ask and get even longer what I want especially to popular luxury places. and some of them are pushing us to have tables with bills before we ask if we usually pay more than twice than here. To be honest, the atmosphere was very casual, but really quiet and comfortable to talk to my friend what I liked. not this elegant or high-end style afternoon tea, but as a casual one-time place with close or female friends with tea and cake for long time to chat comfortably, this place would be very nice!"

"Was recommended here and shown photos of their meal which was nothing compared to ours it was a cross between a meal in a nursing home or school dinners. We ordered the sirloin, alarm bells should have struck when we weren’t asked how we would like it cooked. Chef was in a tracksuit. Were recommended by the waiter the “feather beef” (never heard of this before) but it was rancid and burnt. It was £96 for two adults and a child and I feel absolutely robbed. The view was ruined by the windows covered in bird poo this could be easily rectified by having the windows cleaned. I actually feel quite angry about the whole meal we made them aware and the waiter was attentive in asking if there was anything he could do or if we had made him aware during the meal he could have rectified it. Not possible. None of it was a La carte or home made the cauliflower cheese was definitely shop bought and microwaved. Would not recommend started to wonder if we’d booked the wrong place the smell alone of the older generation as you go up in the lift is enough to put you off. Bizarre place wouldn’t return."

L'Absinthe

➤ 40 Chalcot Rd, Primrose Hill NW1 8LS, London, United Kingdom

Wine • French • Desserts

"We went to L'Absinthe last Saturday with friends. We really enjoyed the restaurant. The only issue was a large table with people that should be in a pub and not in a restaurant. Not the restaurant fault, but I would still expect that management would address this as we and the other tables close to us could definitely not enjoy the dinner."

"FELDOS is an amazing restaurant with superb ambiance and top-notch quality. It is a must-visit! The menu is delicious and the wine collection is impressive. The service is impeccable and the attention to detail is always evident. It is truly a high-quality experience with exceptional food from a talented chef. I have dined there three times since it opened and can't wait to go back. My favorite dishes so far are the French onion soup, minestrone soup, and sweet potato salad. The tuna tartare is also outstanding. Be sure to check out their website and see for yourself how great it is! Highly recommended. AHarris"

"The entire meal was an exceptional experience, started with sitting at the bar and enjoying one of their great selection of in house cocktails I’ve never been to a restaurant where staff have gone through the menu step by step even coming out with a board of cuts to show the quality of their produce we really appreciated it Lewis (sorry if I’ve butchered that). We went here for an anniversary meal so when getting to our table we’re greeted with a lovely card congratulating us which again was a first. The food was excellent, great selection of steaks and sides, I would say that if you’re going as a pair then 3 sides is likely enough to share between you. At the end of our meal we were brought complementary ice cream cones which was a welcome surprise. Service couldn’t have been improved, all staff were friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend this to anyone, many thanks to the staff for a great night, looking forward to our next visit!"

Socialite Restaurant And Bar – The Lanes Brighton

➤ 31a 32 East Street, Brighton I-BN1 1HL, United Kingdom

Meat • Wine • Drinks • British

"It is something of a triumph of style over substance. Great location, and all looks very hip and stylish. Others have commented on the inexperienced and somewhat chaotic waiting staff; we had to wait 35 minutes for our initial aperitif drinks to arrive (one cocktail and a diet coke). Later we had the same glass of wine, which he hadn’t ordered, brought to our table on three occasions by two different servers. Not blaming individual servers who were all very charming, but evident lack of competent leadership. The food was good enough, but like the drinks, about 25% over-priced. And the glass of wine we hadn’t ordered and sent back three times, still appeared on our bill. Not a restaurant we will be re-visiting."
