"Not a great experience. Courtyard dining was nice given the weather and the food was reasonably priced if a little underwhelming. Service was a major let down. There were a handful of guests and the service team were slow to acknowledge us both upon arrival in the hotel and beyond. We were charged when placing the order, which is perfectly fine until we realised we were the only ones that had been charged upfront. Not sure of the rationale and probably wouldn't have been bothered until we were asked to pay again when leaving. For clarity, this was a business lunch and both of us were suited, not exactly looking the part to run off. Would have been happy for them to have approached and simply ask of we had paid rather than have someone ask from across the courtyard. Drinks arrived late, but to be fair food was served on time. Fortunately the company and conversation made up for a poor showing from the restaurant."

"The food was nice but portions were small and prices were high very high for the size of the portions we got. And several items on the menu weren't available which was a shame. There are a lot of different deals for different days which I found confusing. There didn't seem to be any deals on the day we went we were just given a menu with no mention of any deals. No ambience but that's probably because we were the only ones in there but we were eating between lunch and dinner time so that was probably why. I wouldn't go again unless we got a good deal too pricey for too little food."

"Took going to the front desk twice to get the tv fixed in the room. Initially they sent in housekeeping to try to fix it, then a gentleman around the front desk came in and reset the channels. Waited roughly 4-5 hours. Beds are a little hard, but I am used to memory foam, so may be good for people used to a conventional mattress. Shower is amazingly hot and perfect with a shower head that actually has pressure. Breakfast is great, lots of choices, and very good orange juice. Overall, perfect location for us and easy to get to from London via coach. Rooms: Little small, but efficient for needs. Walkability: Easy to get to from coach, restaurant/pub nearby, and convenient mart in walking distance. Food drinks: Room service available, breakfast with juices and coffee."

"Its two years since I last visited here for breakfast. It remains a cracking good place to eat. There is a full and varied breakfast menu. The coffee is good, better than one from the standard chains. Service is good, speedy and staff are very pleasant. Pleasant atmosphere. Staff are a bit distant, but good at what they do. Will call in again when I'm in Braintree next year"

"Lovey setting with high ceilings, sunshine through the large windows and greenery hanging from the ceilings. Staff friendly and a nice continental spread. Unfortunately the staff don’t seem to communicate and we had at least four different people dealing with us. We ordered hot food and, having seen others who arrived after us getting theres, enquired after ours. Half an hour after ordering we received our eggs Benedict and eggs with avocado but both of us had one solid, overcooked poached egg. I complained and they bought another set but both still over cooked. Very disappointing."

"I have been a longtime patron of Maggie May's. While it may not be a fancy restaurant, they serve delicious home-cooked meals. The restaurant used to be known for having one of the best and largest breakfasts in Belfast. However, recently I have noticed a decline in the quality and portion size of the food. I have had a few disappointing deliveries, so I now prefer to dine in. During my recent visit, I was disappointed to see that the veggie fry was nearly half the size it used to be and now costs £9.50. The quality of the ingredients also seems to have decreased. Despite this, Maggie May's still offers a good variety of dishes, including vegetarian and vegan options. While I recommend sticking to more traditional menu items, such as breakfasts, chips, and milkshakes, overall the food is still decent. It is important to note that the restaurant is not wheelchair accessible and has only one small toilet at the back without changing facilities."

"I edit Super-A, an online fitness magazine for people over 40. I like to talk about everything fitness. next to writing about fitness, I also travel the world teaching fitness and yoga (senior yoga teacher). I love smoothies, but not many people know how to make them good, even if you give certain instructions. my visit to the love fit cafe was an excellent experience, greeted by friendly staff. above all my waitress ambra, who carefully noticed my special ingredients requirements for my customized Super A smoothie. I found out later that she did it for me too. it was perfect. they have the recipe now, so they should try it for themselves. or choose something else from their excellent menu."

"I came with 2 friends and we were looking forward to a last lunch together before Christmas, But the food was very poor, I had Hunters chicken which should have come with bbq sauce but there was virtually none and the chicken was so dry and tasteless without the sauce and it was the first time I had ever had cold peas! The waitress asked if everything was ok and I said it was disappointing that it wasn’t as described, she just said she would pass that onto the chef! The manager came over after a few minutes and said he hoped we would return and the next time we came it would be better, well I’m sorry there probably won’t be a next time at least not for a meal, I don’t expect gourmet food but something edible and enjoyable would have been nice"

"The food quality was disappointing. While the fish and chips were decent (we had two servings), the torte was quite poor. The puff pastry resembled a burger bun, and the filling was nearly inedible. The entrecôte steak was also a letdown—thin and gristly. In terms of price and quality, I found it lacking, especially for London standards. For example, three small tempura prawns cost £9.50, and a simple Spanish wine was priced at £10 per glass. Given the overall experience, I wouldn't recommend this place for a meal, but it could be alright for a quick drink."

"I had some time to spare in the area so decided to bring some friends for a drink and a small snack here. The Waitress on duty seemed to be grossly overworked and had little clue what to do. It took a long time for her to come and take an order, we had to ask several times. It then took even longer for some of the drinks to arrive, one of the Drinks was missing, the Waitress did not say a word and walked away. Only after several further reminders did she bring the remaining drink. We then had to ask several times about the food, which she eventually did bring. As I did not have the time nor the patience to wait for her to bring the bill, I went to the Bar and paid somebody else behind the Bar counter. I then went to retrieve the car key from the Concierge, not entirely sure what happened, but the person there muttered something along the line that the usual Concierge was not there and that he did not know exactly what to do. He then could not give me any change and also no receipt of the money paid for the car parking, when asked for a receipt he said that the usual Concierge would normally deal with this and that he could not issue a receipt. Altogether a very disappointing experience, and quite embarrassing in front of my guests. I certainly won't bring any of my guests there again so soon."

"Oh my gosh, these people are just absolutely perfect! I’ve been to hundreds of restaurants in my life (as you can see from my history of Google reviews) and I’ve never in all my life experienced such amazing customer service. The servers cannot do enough for you. They are there to cater to your every need. Me and my date went for a lowkey Valentine’s evening meal, and when we got there it was quite empty and then it started becoming quite busy so I thought maybe the servers would become more distracted at that point and wouldn’t be so attentive but they were still on call for us for every single thing. The food was lovely (not perfect but nice). Even up until the point when we were leaving, the security guard was just so amazing to us. I would literally come here for every single dinner date just for the customer service. Unbelievable! Thank you VQ, you smashed it "

"we came to dinner on 6/1/23 eating was a good quality, drinks were good and we were allowed to taste wine before we walk a bottle. cocktails were also great. both had the ripped eyes, cooked as we wanted and were happy to eat. came here for a jubilee and were pleasantly surprised with a small cake and "happy anniversary" written in chocolate on the plate. the service was punctual and every waiting period was completely fair. all staff were polite and friendly. would like to mention a special mention to times that was very friendly and took the time to chat with us a bit during our dinner. he recognized his time when it was calm and had a nice chat with him. overall a great experience highly recommended."

"The ‘big bagel’ was nice enough as were the chips. Sweet friendly waitress. Please do not order the nachos-they are flavourless and in my opinion the tortilla chips a little stale. Was a little hard work trying to get someone’s attention for the bill. I think they could do with one more member of staff to keep things running more smoothly eg clearing tables, wiping down seats and supplying the bill more promptly. I voiced my opinion at the time re the nachos but was met with a vacant stare and a ‘no ones ever complained about them before ‘. They bizarrely offered to take 10% off the cost of the nachos. A more commercially savvy response would have been ‘so sorry you didn’t like the nachos Ill take them off the bill as you’ve barely touched them. Hope to see you again next time’ There’s lots of competition in the area who in my opinion offer waaay better service. I believe the owner was behind the counter at the time who took no ownership of the situation-that was a shame but hey ho that’s why some businesses succeed and others don’t stand the test of time."

"Extortionately overpriced for basic pub grub, plus poor service and no allergen menu. First of all, my wife and I regularly frequent very high end establishments. This isn’t what you would expect at this price point. The location is beautiful, the staff are well dressed and courteous, however, the decor on the wild carrot is tired and the food is 50/50… read on… On arrival we were seated at a dark table with no view, when there were plenty of nicer tables it was quite quiet . We shortly asked to move which was a waste of of our time. My wife has an egg allergy and was horrified to discover they had no allergen menu they could share with us, plus the two waiters said they had no idea about allergens so had to check with the chefs each time, which made us nervous. I’m fairness the cocktails were good. The Wild Carrot starter, which was meant to have rainbow radishes and crudités was a £0.75p £1 bag of mixed leaf salad you’d get in a supermarket with some cherry tomatoes and sliced carrot, no radish. The fish and chips had thick undercooked doughy batter and they hadn’t removed the skin on the fish. The chips were supermarket chunky McCains type frozen chips and undercooked. For £28 I expect far, far better. This was more £18 pub grub at best. My mushroom toast was excellent and the mushroom pasta was also good but the side of fries for which I didn’t ask the cost was £8 !! they were limp and flavourless, essentially KFC/McDonalds level when not fresh, small portion too. My wife left about 30 40% of her food it was so bad, I ate mine as I’m more stubborn, but in hindsight, it really wasn’t worth the money as experiences of that price point should be equal, certainly not compatible to pubs and takeouts. The correct cutlery wasn’t laid out and our water wasn’t topped up once. To make matters worse, they added 15% to the bill but didn’t bring the itemised bill, just put the total on the card machine and brought that, at this point we just paid up and made for the exit. A totally embarrassing set up with incompetent staff and horrendous poor quality produce and cooking. Felt like daylight robbery and ruined our day. Read the other reviews, there’s a running theme for being overpriced and disappointing here and it’s letting what looks to be a very nice hotel down. Everything needs changing here except the cocktails and the mushroom toast starter. Also, other reviews are correct, wild kids everywhere, no wild carrots in sight. AVOID."

"I had a great experience at the Blue Legume. It was quite busy on Sundays for brunch, so even though we had a reservation, we had to wait a bit. However, the wait was not too long. The brunch was delicious and reasonably priced. We had 2 Mediterranean Brunches and 4 coffees, which came to £24. The decor and atmosphere were beautiful, and I would definitely recommend it for brunch or a nice weekend lunch. We were able to enjoy our meal for over 3 hours without feeling rushed or asked to leave, which was great for us, but may have contributed to the long queues."
