"despite our email reminding us of the booking, the restaurant does not have the reservation in its system. for happiness, or unhappy, as it turned out, there were tables available. we had to sit up from the first (very tiny) Ywo-person table we were given when the seats were held too bad, without them being moved every time they were in their seat. the waiter missed our order for a starter, so our main courses arrived first. After we sent them back, we finally got our joint Nachos plate. we joked when we came to the main course that we hoped that this was not the same burgers they had used until 30 minutes before. not really sure we got a response to this question, but it was a mumble...still for debate. the burgers were best moderate, only served with fries and an uninspiring koleslaw. it's a very long time since I've ever eaten here, the youngest visits are only drinks. I don't want to go back based on this experience. frankie and bennys are over the road and I would prefer there now."

"from beginning to end, this can only be described as one of my worst restaurants experiences. we were a little early on our table so we were invited to stand at the bar to wait for our table. we waited and waited and waited for twenty minutes to serve and there was only one person in front of us. We were totally ignored while the two people behind the bar took care of the table orders. eating ordered and when it came, it was wrong so that the food of my wife had to go back. another order was also wrong and they promised to bring the fritten asap. they came when we all finished our eating. the food of my wife came back right, but the plate was full of fat and pommes was microwave. eating all looked completely inconspicuous. the manager took the cost for the meal of my wife from the bill and the riders who never arrived but nothing for our experience or offered more drinks. unnecessary to say that we never go back. it felt as if they really did not deal with the volume of people."

"I opted for the healthiest thing on the menu! Not like me but I felt like my body needed it, it was immense, so many flavours on one plate with lovely grilled chicken Staff were super friendly and attentive especially to my elderly mum in her wheelchair My mum is a super complainer and she never moaned once, so that's a feat in itself, well done lol"

"We went for prior to attending a show, the food was good I had the chicken skewers and my husband had the burger who though it was average. The service was excellent could do enough and the food was very quick. Would recommend a visit."

"Had breakfast there on Sunday. Great choice of food and nice place inside. Coffee was a bit lacking in flavour though, and my full breakfast, although tasty, was all different teperatures. Sausages, pancake and potatoes were hot but eggs, tomato and bacon were pretty cold. Would expect all ingredients to be kept warm and plated together? Will go there again though and hope for better luck next time, as overall was still pleasant."

"The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere and pleasant ambiance. The menu was typical and offered comfort food options. The portions were large, but overall the food was somewhat disappointing, particularly the side of child chips (which were replaced fairly)."

"the French toast did not really please, found the sugary crust on the pear-comonate and zimtsirup waaaay too sweet. that the employees served us quite efficiently and make sure that we had everything we need (especially water a beautiful brunch place, but if they don't have a huge sweet tooth like me: they avoid the French toast."

"Had a nice time at Lantana Cafe, but not sure it’ll be my go to spot. The food was good every dish tasted fresh and the portions were generous enough; the coffee was also good. The fair is standard Australian brunch, i.e., corn fritters or a hip take on the full English. Service was somewhat lacking our table wasn’t ready when we arrived for our booking and we had to wait. The staff was not particularly enthusiastic, but at least didn’t hover. And we were given our check without asking for it well in advance closing time. In short, while the food was good and the place nicely designed, it lacks the hospitality I’d want to give it the full five stars. It is, however, a reliable brunch spot where we were able to get a table not too long in advance, and in London that counts for something."

"It was out first visit to Cocina. Didn't like the open front means that the restaurant is not warm inside and is exposed to outside noise. Although our food arrived quickly, it was luke warm and one of the main courses seemed to be 50% rice. The only good thing is that the ladies serving were pleasant and helpful. Won't be going back there. Only one other couple in the restaurant this place is not going to survive!"

"Location, service and food were good. Problem was that of the 7 of us that dined there on Saturday night, 6 were vomiting by the next morning. Not been this ill in 20 years, and just recovering 24hrs later. The common denominator was maybe the olives to start. Real shame as it’s a lovely place with good service and food. I’ve got to question the hygiene practices after such an experience as I’ve been fortunate to never have had gastroenteritis in the UK, as I’m usually very careful. The added irony is that I’m a Gastroenterologist."

"frankly, it's a bit embarrassing that it takes me so long to visit me bangkok caffe. this Thai restaurant in canton is a bit of a Cardiff institution, and I have only heard good things about it, during the years I wrote the blog. unsafe, there is substance behind the recommendations. among the most important positive themes include a relaxed and modern dining room; friendly and efficient service; a menu full of interesting dishes; liberal portions; and above all excellent Thai cuisine. a strut of singhas delivered during the meal chili relief. at the beginning I ordered yam ner £5.50), spicy beef salad – a mountain of delicate meerriff, spring onions, tomatoes...read more"

"I'm disappointed to share my experience at this restaurant. I had made a reservation for my partner and me, and upon our arrival, we entered and waited at the front for someone to seat us. Unfortunately, the staff seemed unprepared for their duties. We stood by the entrance while two employees chatted and laughed in the kitchen, seemingly oblivious to us. The restaurant was completely empty, which was not surprising given the service we received. We tried to get their attention, and while they glanced our way, they continued their conversation without acknowledging us. A member of the kitchen staff even came out to joke around, but we were ignored once again. Feeling quite frustrated and disheartened, we decided to leave. It’s unfortunate because I believe our dining experience could have been enjoyable if the staff had been attentive and professional."

"We had a great time at this restaurant! The food was quite delicious, with an interesting selection of pan-Asian dishes. The starters were especially tasty. While the service was a bit slow when it came to taking orders, once our order was in, the food arrived quickly. However, our drink orders seemed to take a long time to come out. The staff were friendly, and we had a pleasant evening overall. We would recommend this place."

"Fabulous time at Swift bar. I enjoyed the Sgroppino cocktail £8) which was Prosecco and a bit of elderflower liqueur, and a scoop of lemon sorbet. Brilliant. My friends all loved their cocktails too and we came during happy hour on a Friday) where the aperitivo cocktails are I think) £7. Staff were brilliant, very professional and efficient. We were promptly seated, and set up with glasses of water and menus. I asked our server many questions about the cocktails and she was extremely knowledgable about the ingredients and dominant flavours whether you could taste the elderflower in the Sgroppino, what the Solstice tasted like, if the Pearl was heavy on the almond, etc). She was great, very patient and gave very clear answers to help me make the best order of drink. The cocktails all look fantastic and the bar is very beautiful too."

"Came here for dinner and the customer service was horrendous. We were ignored for a while and stood around waiting, despite several staff members walking past and making eye contact with us (no one was standing at the concierge reception desk). Then we were sent to the bar area to wait DESPITE having a reservation. They then proceeded to keep us waiting for a further minutes they only came to get us when I asked for the manager himself (clearly they had forgotten about us The manager then proceeded to question our booking saying it didnât exist. I showed them proof of a confirmation email, which I received yesterday, to which the manager said âthe booking is for tomorrowâ he didnât even read the date which said it was for today. Bare in mind the restaurant was not that busy at all! There were several empty tables and despite this we were kept waiting. Iâve worked in customer service so I know when the staff do not care about their customers and that was evident right here. I am highly disappointed as what was meant to be a great night had an awful start thanks to Patara. Will never be coming back here. No food is worth the disrespect. Itâs always disappointing when youâre rushing to make your booking on time, so as to not delay the restaurant but the restaurant couldnât care less about seating you on time. And then they had the gall to add service charge to my bill! After the awful service!"

"very poor service, always needed to look for employees to order or request drinks. it was a challenge to get even water for the table. eating was slow to arrive, but tasty as it did. the chili-seater bass is highly recommended."

"patara is a beautiful little place in chelsea. I was so tempted to try the satay, but we went for another appetizer that was good, but not memorable and so I don't remember. the chicken greenery (has a fancier name in restaurant) and the duck red curry were good. hühner was better, tasty, not too spicy./ not a well-known Thai food really and can not really say the authentic from the riffraff, but this is nice, but a bit expensive. total good experience."

"I have eaten here on two previous occasions where it was very busy but the food was worth it. On this occasion I pre-booked a table for 4pm on a Sunday to ensure we had a table for my husband's birthday as we'd travelled from the East Midlands. On arrival there was a table reserved for us clearly stating 4pm and as we were early we ordered a drink. After deciding what to eat we were advised that the kitchen was not open until 5pm! As we had a 2 hour journey home we could not wait until then and had to leave extremely disappointed. At no point was it highlighted either on the OpenTable or FFC website that food would not be served until after 5pm. We had travelled specifically for a birthday treat which ended up ruining what was a great day. Please ensure if a restaurant is not open at the requested booking time slot it is clearly indicated that food will not be served."
