"The first course arrived promptly, but it was a significant disappointment. We ordered half a duck and pancakes, expecting a reasonable portion, but what we received was the tiniest serving imaginable. It bore no resemblance to the half duck we usually enjoy at other restaurants. What we had was dry, bland, and not worth the £30 price tag. To make matters worse, our main courses were served before they had cleared away the plates from our first course, leaving us with no space on the table for the entrees. We had to literally request that they clean the table so we could fit the main dishes. The restaurant was quite empty, and it felt like they wanted us to leave as quickly as possible so they could close up. When we voiced our concerns about the food and service, the staff laughed at us, which was incredibly unprofessional. It's no wonder the restaurant was so empty. Located in the Dorsett Hotel in a busy area of London, none of the six of us plan to return. Although we had considered staying at the hotel on our next trip due to its affordability, this experience has ensured that we will not be returning, as it poorly reflects on the hotel’s overall reputation."

"Group of 5, lovely table by the window so the view was nice. As it was a catch up with friends we were pleased we weren't hurried and the service was good. Food was good, but not outstanding, there was enough of it and it was all served together with no issues. Saks is perfect for a social meal with friends."

"Make sure when booking you specify if you do not want to sit at bar high chairs. We didn't for accessibility reasons and although they seated us we were rushed out in hours. The staff did their best, just not equipped to flex."

"Service was very poor so we were disappointed as we wanted to try out the place for a long time. We were basically ignored in comparison to the larger groups that were there. I also requested something special for my partners birthday and we saw that the other table got something for a person of their groups birthday but we didn’t get anything clearly no communication between the booking notes and service… The ambience was very good the DJ was fab The food was good value for money but the drinks could’ve been better."

"One Sunday evening I had a glass of wine in the Bonds a good glass of wine and just a small one. I left my purse probably at the bar where I paid. It was only Monday morning that I realised what happened and I knew it could only have been there. So I called and there it was, waiting for me to be picked. Next day I had dinner there with my kids. Thanking the lady who was the day before, she simply said that this was the pub’s policy and they just followed it. Thank you who made that policy and a thousand thanks to those who followed it! Btw I had a wonderful Cesar’s salad. It looked unusual, nothing like the common ones, but the taste was special and all incrediences fresh and tasty. I also loved the french white cuvee! Looking forward to come back!"

"I made a reservation thinking this restaurant was affiliated with Richard Rawlings' Gas Monkey group, but it turns out it isn't. According to Gas Monkey Dallas, they have no connection to it. I was really disappointed as it became clear the moment we arrived. We felt obligated to stay for lunch, but the food was just average, with some unusual ingredients in the burger (goat cheese?). At least the food was served hot. The staff were friendly, but it wasn't at all what we expected based on our booking. I felt misled and wouldn't choose to come back or recommend it to others."

"I was given some Groupon Vouchers for my Birthday so we decided to go on 11th Jan 2020. I 'm always dubious about vouchers as some restaurants look after you as 2nd class citizens if you know what I mean. Yes I know the menu isn 't the a la Carte and you get what you pay for and all that !! The voucher menu had things we liked and you can 't go wrong with a sirloin steak and fries : My other half is vegetarian and they only had one choice for a main. However we paid a £3 supplement which I was happy to do so she got a very tasty veggie burger. The staff were very friendly and attentive, cocktails were nice as was the house red which was part of the deal. We ate early at 18.00 which was quiet, there were a few people in there but throughout the night it got busier. I would hope the service would 've been the same if we had reserved for 20.00 !! I have no doubt it still would 've been good. I would recommend this restaurant and the full menu prices and drinks weren 't extortionate. We 'll definitely try the place again."

"I didn't realize this restaurant was in a hotel, but we figured out our direction and made it in time for our reservation all the same. Laurel on the Roof is a cozy restaurant with panoramic views of London. We went for brunch and I had the full English breakfast and my husband had the French Toast, both of which were fabulous. We paired the meals with mimosas and other breakfast cocktails, which were well balanced. The wait staff were attentive but not overly enough to bother you. We felt free to enjoy our meal at a leisurely place. It was a great meal to end our trip to the UK."

"I was in a party of 8. 5 adults a 4 children, 1 needing a highchair. We had 2 booths booked for us so that we would not be squashed which was very thoughtful. the children went on one table and were given a white paper table cloth and crayons. Kept them quiet!!!!. We had a lovely relaxing meal with excellent service. Food was well priced and very generous potions. I just wish the drinks could be fairly priced too. Its the same problem everywhere."

"I visited this restaurant and later booked and paid a deposit for a 21st birthday party. However, three weeks before the event, we received a call informing us that our booking had been 'mistakenly' double booked, apparently for a better offer (the other booking wanted the whole bar instead of just a section). The person handling the situation did not return my calls. They offered us an unsuitable venue nearby and a free lunch, neither of which were helpful as we only had three weeks to find another venue and had already sent out invitations. Overall, a disappointing experience."

"A good casual, relaxed Americana restaurant. A focus on a young, modern, vibrant vibe with a retro feel. Good comfort eating options with more selective fish and meat higher priced food. A satisfying meal as long as you don't expect to be wowed by the cuisine. Service was good. There was a mix up over our main which was sorted out fast and efficiently. A little pricey for burgers in a bun as you order all sides separate including chips. Overall met expectations."

"Côte in Cambridge is one of my top dining spots. It's not only a Coeliac UK accredited restaurant, ensuring clear labeling and knowledgeable staff, but the food is absolutely delicious! I particularly enjoy the seasonal menus and hope to see the Tartiflette back on the après menu next winter. It's a great spot for a casual lunch or a special dinner. The limited outdoor seating is perfect for sunny afternoons. I give Côte a perfect ten out of ten!"

"overall a good experience. we were happy with everything, but we had to wait for 30 minutes. it was very busy, but a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. the food was good and we didn't have to wait long as we had our order. some problems with the bill at the end of the experience. we were not aware that the prices of 11 o'clock change as they were not notified to us. but the manager gave us 20% for the inconvenience."

"I walked past Chilango this morning and decided to try it for the first time for lunch. I got the pork belly box how utterly disappointing! Rice, with the merest handful of meat, some lettuce with black bean and chilli sauce slopped across the top, and a sprinkling of cheese. The box wasn't even filled as shown in their in store pictures (although that could be because most of the stuff being splattered across the rice never quite made it into the box). While it was tasty enough, for the princely sum of £7.95 (a tablespoon of guacamole would have been £1.50 more), it was certainly not at all worth it. Needless to say, I wont be returning... there are so many other good food places that this one can quite happily be struck off the list."

"No record of booking on turning up, therefore no allergy on record. Staff inattentive and largely absent. We were shoved in a corner next to a wall. Forgot my half of the drink order; I asked for coffee and they brought out a cafetiere with just water in it. Food came out well into booking time, items removed (not substituted) because of my allergy even though I flagged it on my booking. Toni was great in checking in after and boxed up what we felt we couldn't eat because we had run out of time. Wasn't sure what to expect price wise because it's not clear on the website but have had much better teas for that cost. It's a shame because we hadn't been before. Is the missed booking because you take from multiple booking sources? A bit disappointing, we probably won't do it again."

"As an inveterate food blogger I go out a lot. It’s easy to feel blasé about some invitations, another pizza place, a hotel restaurant focussing on seasonality and locality… but when you get the call to an event at Theo Randall’s refurbished eponymous restaurant in the Intercontinental Hotel in Park Lane you sit up and take notice. Quite simply he is the best chef serving Italian food in London today and a decent chap to boot. He was known for running the kitchen at The legendary River Café and then ten years ago took the opportunity to open his own space within the Intercontinental Hotel. Theo told me he felt that the previous look had been a bit too corporate (although I loved...read more"
