"The staff was excellent, and the wine and whiskey were quite good. However, the food was just average. I started with the pigeon; the menu mentioned breast and wing, so I expected one of each, but I received four wings that were tough and had so little meat that they wouldn’t have satisfied a pigeon, especially for £14. On the plus side, the black pudding was enjoyable. The main courses were alright, but nothing worth raving about."

"Visited for brunch for my Mums birthday this weekend. The food and wine was lovely, Caesar salad was outstanding. The views and decor in the hotel and restaurant are fantastic. What really made the trip was the service we received, all staff were so polite and even brought out a slice of cake for my Mum which we appreciated so much. Downstairs Derek, on the reception took lots of photos of us and gave us great information about London and how to get about. Will definitely be back the next time we visit!! Thank you so much for a memorable lunch for my Mums big birthday!"

"The experience is globally very qualitative. I am very pleased with the stay at Bistrot. All inexplicable. Perhaps lacks a little heat the service, which turns out attentive and discreet but a little detached and impersonal. I would like to find a warmer and relaxed style of welcome, a kind of Mandarin Touch that makes the difference and makes guests feel not in a trendy place but in a place of the heart."

"Met with a friend for a catch up. It was easy to hear each other talk, there was a nice atmosphere. Good selection on the menu. We had an issue where my friend wanting a small plate as a main and was told that he couldn’t. We asked for two small plates on one plate and were told we couldn’t do that which was strange. We eventually got to the point where they charged us for two small plates of the same thing and they put it on one big plate."

"So So disapointed. Only booked a few weeks ago and chose this on the basis of what cocktails were available for a bottomless brunch. Got there and they had changed the choices..to ones we did not like. The said it would have been on an email but the email I received the day before had none of this info. If it had, we would have cancelled as can have prosecco brunch locally!. Finally the manager agreed for us to have another choice but that was after were were going to walk. Service was always polite but so so slow. Had to call someone over more times than not and it wasnt even busy.The food was lovely I have to say but the other MASSIVE complaint was there was no live DJ as advertised, No vibe just piped music..why was it advertised as a kitchen disco brunch. Very very disappointed and DO NOT recommend."

"The dining experience was excellent, set in a beautiful environment, and surprisingly affordable. It might be a bit too quiet for those looking for a lively atmosphere, but we really enjoyed the restaurant and our meal. It's a shame that there weren't more diners, but that was the only downside!"

"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."

"Living locally allows us to visit this restaurant at a moment's notice and enjoy the beautiful views of the estuary on a late summer day. It is ideal for avoiding the tourist crowds. We chose to sit inside and order from the bar terrace menu. The service was exceptional, with water provided for our table. Despite our waitress admitting she was new to the venue, everything was very efficient. We had a variety of small plates to share, including fries, lamb kebabs, duck salad, and Thai balls with dipping sauce. Everything was delicious, except for the duck salad which lacked crispiness and quickly became soggy. It could benefit from added texture, such as small wraps. The prices were a bit higher than expected, but the food was tasty and well-presented. We, along with other guests, asked for the air conditioning to be turned off, and our request was promptly granted. We are excited to try their Indian tasting plates, which seem to be offered annually and are highly sought after. We will have to book quickly before they sell out."

"Took a while for staff to come over and serve us. However once we caught their attention, the waitress was helpful with our order. They have an offer on for starters and a cocktail pitcher. The space is cosy, warm and welcoming and ideal for a catch up with friends. Only table service is allowed and cannot order at the bar due to COVID restrictions. Staff wore masks and seating was socially distanced."

"I went for a business lunch, and although I wouldn't say it was a bad experience, I would be hard pressed to say it was an excellent one the portion sizes were a little hit and miss (very large side orders, but the starters felt a little small), and the service was not top notch. Being an Italian restaurant, I would have expected the waitress to know what a Negroni was, but that aside, things like the water not being left on the table and them forgetting to bring sides with the main course and needing to be reminded let the service down. It was not overly busy on the day we went, so there is room for improvement. There was nothing wrong with the food when it did arrive. Still, we didn't order anything out of the ordinary and having been to a few Italian restaurants recently, Bella Cosa, unfortunately, didn't figure high up on the places visited, which is a shame. Maybe it was an off day but overall as I say, although not a bad experience I couldn't say it was a great one."

"Booked business lunch through open table, expecting a decent service. Is there any? NO. First I have been asked to provide a code, what code? I am having normal lunch on normal menu, I never need a code! Apparently a waitress thought I booked through group on! I was embarrassed in front of my clients. It is not a cheap skate! Seated right underneath a noisy TV in a corner, and there isn't many guests around. what do I supposed to do with my discussion? And it took half an hour for me To have my orange juice! Did you go to supermarket and my juices? There is barely any service and why do I need to pay service charge? When I raised my hand for anyone to notice, for few minutes nobody cared! I don't believe this is what's happening, and for this experience and the just normal average food they are serving, I hope my fellow customers just waved byebye to this place. Birmingham have so much to offer and 1565 is a place you won't need to remember."

"Great little restaurant. The menu is extensive and food is delicious. Cuisine is not Greek/Mediterranean as stated on this website, there are a wide range of tasty salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, main meals, desserts and breakfast options. They also serve great coffee, smoothies and their famous ice-blended freezacinos . The staff are friendly and helpful and the environment is child-friendly. I will definitely be returning!"

"A great restraunt. Great staff, good prices. We were staying at the Apex City of Edinburgh hotel whuch is where the restraunt is located. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and I could not find a fault with anything. The staff are very friendly, polite and helpful. Robert who we saw a lot of during our stay is a credit to the restraunt/hotel. The quality of the food was excellent with plenty of choice at Breakfast. I can't comment on the price of breakfast as this was part of our stay. The price for lunch/dinner and drinks was very reasonable."

"During my trip to Edinburgh, we made a reservation at this restaurant with a nice view from our window seat, despite the bad weather outside. The atmosphere was relaxed with only a few tables occupied. For starters, we ordered the clam chowder which was full of delicious ingredients, creamy, and served with crunchy sourdough bread. My mother had the mushroom and tarragon soup from the specials menu, which warmed us up on a cold autumn day. Our main course was mussels, which was enjoyable but could have been a larger portion for the price. The fish and chips were crispy and of premium quality, although we felt it could have used some mushy peas or garnish. Some of the chips seemed like scraps from the bottom of the fryer and lacked substance. We also tried the lemon posset from the specials, which was delightful and smelled amazing. The service was friendly and attentive, with my allergies taken into consideration. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch and would love to visit again in the future."

"Took my teenage daughter here for breakfast as a treat before shopping in the sales. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived with only two other tables occupied. We were seated promptly and the front of house girl was lovely, however, I then noticed the following three couples to enter after us were given the option of sitting “at the back with the wisteria” or “at the front”. Myself and my daughter were sat at the front, and were not offered the option of where to sit we would have sat at the back, as one of the reasons my daughter wanted to come here was the beautiful lilac wisteria and the scenery down the back end of the restaurant. It seemed very selective to certain guests! The food was average, my daughter enjoyed the French toast and my coffee was very good. The eggs Benedict were just ok, and the waitress left us physically holding our croissant plates, after the main breakfast dishes were served, as the table was so small. £60 for breakfast service. We won’t be back."

"If I could score 0 I would. I booked a table using the website service for 11am. Luckily we arrived early to sit outside for a coffee at 10:30 we told the server we had a table booked which he acknowledged. After serving our drinks he came back and said if you want food the kitchen closes at 11 so you need to order now. He then argued with me that I wouldn’t have been able to book a table via any app at all even though I had email proof. We moved inside and waited 20 mins for home to come back and take our orders. He forgot drinks and got some of our orders wrong as well. The saga continued with under cooked poached eggs which one server argued about with us. Saying chef says they are cooked. You don’t want poached you want hard boiled. No we wanted slightly longer cooked poached eggs that didn’t have slimy white in them. We also had egg shells in our omelette which put us off eating the rest of it. Pretty much all of the food arrived cold as well. All we wanted was a peaceful brunch and it turnt into a bit of a fiasco with really poor service and bad quality food. I choose this restaurant because it looked special but I would not recommend it after experiencing it and I will not be returning after being very disappointed as I had such high hopes for a lovely time. We were not rude but we’re treated like we were idiots for expecting a certain level of service that was sadly lacking."
