"Le Caprice is tucked away in Arlington Street in a surprisingly quiet spot behind the Ritz. If it sounds glam, it’s because it is. In a restaurant like that, the little details in service are what really set a place apart. We walked in with a booking and the maître d’ managed very discreetly and without me realising, to confirm a special little something that the s.o. had requested. Now that, is class. From our seats at the bar (we love the counter if you recall from my Bocca Di Lupo post I could see the maître greeting the regulars like a pro (handshake for the men, sometimes a hug for the ladies or a peck on the cheek). Even before we had a single bite to eat, we knew this...read more"

"Lovely. From start to end. This restaurant and the team of professionals running it were just tip top and executed at a high level. But! Without one really noticing them. Not fussy or overdone-just extremely competent and attentive to our entire visit. A welcoming Maitre d, hostess and coat check greeted us. A lovely pianist was gently playing-great background but could still hold a conversation and led to a table just perfect for our party. I don’t believe one could complain about any table choice-it’s a just right sized establishment. The menu selections are enough variety but not so many one needs to overthink order. If wine of particular importance? Guidance was offered but not pushed and their reserve visually looked well stocked and well curated. The two in our party who ordered were quite pleased to try something new based off suggestion by server and they both were surprised it met/exceeded what they had planned on ordering a familiar label. We had the tuna, yellow belly sashimi(2) beet salad as starters. The Dover Sole, Salmon w/poached eggs and the lamb as entree’s. Desserts we splurged and each ordered a choice: chocolate mousse dipped in /chocolate ganache, apple pie compote, cheese cake and creme brûlée. There was not a misstep in the entire dinner service. It was delicious, visually beautiful and we were delighted. The reason I gave 4 stars for value is I would not want to misdirect anyone who might be using my review to make a decision and misunderstand my intention. We felt it was a huge value. In this respect-to get all the elements written in review? Easily our tab could have been almost doubled at a few other dining choices we were contemplating for that night’s reservation. But this establishment is in Central London and 1 block behind Ritz Carlton. Dining in most restaurants of the caliber of Le Caprice in this area is a higher tab commitment. We felt worth every bit and then some. We each left vowing to return to Le Caprice."

"The waiter was very rude and seemed uninterested in serving us. Every time we asked for another drink, it seemed to bother him. He even blew on our water glasses before filling them up. Despite the poor service, the starters of oysters and grilled lobster were superb. However, the main dish was disappointing and bland. Overall, the experience was lacking in flavor and quality."

"The food was mediocre. The ambiance of the restaurant was unusual, with a very dark setting. The manager was seen shouting at the staff even though they had nothing to do as there were no customers to serve. The staff members appeared to be in a rush and were quite pushy, making us feel unwelcome. There seemed to be a lack of communication among the wait staff as multiple servers asked us the same questions. Overall, I would not return to this restaurant."

"Sadly we didn't have a good experience. We were seated by the door so it was draughty and disruptive with people in and out and waiting to be seated,. We ordered olives, taramasalata and bread sticks and then a main course and we had only just received the olives etc when a young waiter plonked down our main courses leaving us with little option but to abandon the other food and eat that. Nobody came to ask if we enjoyed our main course either. So we paid the bill and left."

"the radisson hotel in leeds is located in the interior of the radisson hotel. very pleasant environment, although not on the tables and chairs, but this is my personal opinion. the cabins are more comfortable. came to the afternoon for the second time. You don't have to say that one as good as last time. sandwiches very good and fresh. the sweet ones are not so good. mostly sponge with different aromas and the skorn seems in size, although very tasty. the waitresses were beautiful and happy to serve fresh tee on request."

"We were in Leeds celebrating our Son 's Graduation. His girlfriend had also Graduated that same week so we wanted to take them somewhere to celebrate. I chose the Fire Lake as we hadn 't been there before and it appeared to have some good reviews. I sent a message with the booking asking if it was possible to do something special celebrating two graduations. I did not receive a response prior to arriving so my husband discreetly mentioned it to the waitress. We had also purchased a Groupon deal 2 courses for 4 people including a glass of wine each. The waitress asked us if we wanted white or red wine, we asked if we could have a couple of glasses of rose instead, she disappeared and came back saying that they only have white or red with this deal! The white wine was almost yellow and did not taste good. The menu was somewhat limited and over priced. £12 for 3 scallops, £7.95 for bread with basil spread, tomatoes and mozzarella (which I assumed would be warm but was just an open sandwich). My Son ordered the crochets which were ok and his girlfriend ordered the potted pig pate which tasted like cinnamon! I was beginning to regret booking this restaurant but thankful for buying a Groupon deal. For main course I ordered rainbow trout with pea creme fraiche broth, half a gem lettuce and the handcut chips, everyone else ordered chicken or steak with an upgrade to dirty chips with jalapeños. When they arrived with a different waitress, I mentioned that we were missing the portion of handcut chips I had ordered, I was told that the chips only came with the steak and chicken not the fish dishes which wasn 't mentioned at the time of ordering. She apologised and promptly brought over the chips which were the best part of the meal. We then had a bottle of prosecco and ordered desserts and still hadn 't had a response regarding the 'something special ' to mark the occasion. Eventually we were offered a cocktail each which we didn 't all have due to being full. Disappointing"

"Fabulous staff, the reception lady did her best to find us a window seat overlooking the city which she didn’t have to, we were then greeted by a very attentive and pleasant waitress who made the experience comfortable, we were expecting the usual , slight snobbery one tends to find at these expensive establishments but she was very kind a patient. My only regret was not bringing physical cash to tip the servers and reception lady as they won’t allow tipping via the card. 5/5."

"On a lovely autumn day, we arrived at South Lodge and were greeted with stunning views of the hotel grounds. We were welcomed and escorted to the Camellia restaurant, but first stopped by the nearby bar for a pre-lunch drink. The service was exceptional and very friendly. Despite it being a busy Sunday lunch, the service remained top-notch. I savored a delicious three-course Sunday roast beef lunch and finished off with coffee and shortbread biscuits on the terrace. Overall, it was a special dining experience."

"The service at this restaurant was extremely slow. It took a while to place our order and even longer to receive our food. The burgers were mediocre at best and the salads were drenched in dressing. I would not recommend dining here."

"We had good experiences with the Crooked Billet, though many years ago. This time it was depressingly terrible, service was slow and erratic and the food, especially the burnt sausages, chicken, leek and potato cake with three pieces of Bland chicken and much congealed maize flour was terrible. The crispy chicken starter had beautiful chicken, but dry and cellar salad leaves, and £8 for two small chickens goujon size pieces meat was exaggerated. To be fair, one or two of the other dishes were at least edible, but everything was seriously overpriced. Since this is for the 86. A friend's birthday was, we didn't bother by complaining and being honest, I'm not sure it was worth the effort, but the waitress, whose service itself was slow and cursory, was clearly embarrassed and a little wary when we pointed out the bad quality of food. We'll be back many years before we could consider going back."

"Food we had was lovely and staff were great. The only thing that surprised me was lack of vegetarian options. Just 1 starter and 2 mains (both of which were curried curry or pie). Menu said to ask for vegan options so we did thinking there would be more choices, but vegan options were the same dishes pointed out on menu curry and pie just the same. As I’m veggie I doubt I’d book here again until options for non meat eaters have been improved."

"We had a great dining experience at Fig. The food and wine pairing were exceptional, as was the service. Unfortunately, some bookings were moved to the bistro, so there were only a few tables in the restaurant, resulting in a lack of atmosphere. Nevertheless, the delicious food made up for it."
