"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"

"usually difficult to get a table short time, but we had practically the whole restaurant to ourselves around 19 clock on Thursday. this was due to the fact that the local hotel occupancy rates were strongly depressed and the people of home working due to covid 19. this empty, there was atmosphere missing but service excellent. good choice of all courses and I especially enjoyed the Oktopus starter. grilled cod main course cooked to perfection with large damp flocks of fish. criminality brûlée with rhabarb and coffee finish. a good choice of crying, but the brandup is exaggerated."

"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 good but not many options for vegetarians... The rest of the family really enjoyed their meat dishes... My only problem was that the hygiene aspect in terms of staff and washing hands was a concern. On two occasions staff blew their nose but did not wash hands afterwards. One member of staff observe to drop a couple of coffee beans but then these were put on the cocktail.. Maybe I have very high hygiene standard and this is quite acceptable.."

"We had diner at Corner Room restaurant and we chose 5 courses tasting menu which was very disappointing.. Portions are very small not worth at all even for £39.. Croquettes were a pub style two small bites with no garnish.. Prawns risotto was a joke imagine table spoon of risotto and 4 extra small srimp on a top... Lamb came as a two small chops with aubergine puree and raw radish.. taste was bitter and flavourless... Almond gazpacho soup was fabulous and portion size was good. Custard with poached plums and crumbs was okay but not my cup of tea.."

"Ate here on Saturday evening as a treat with a friend. Beautiful room, lovely ambience, warm and professional welcome. But after that it went downhill. The service was awkward and strange. I assumed it was our waiter’s first week as he was intrusive, a bit clumsy and tentative but in fact he was the person in charge. I don’t like a rushed meal but the first course took 30 mins to arrive which was a little long to wait. Starters when they arrived were delicious. My main course was very odd though. I ordered baked cheese with salami and potatoes costing £26. When it arrived it was a large ‘sharing’ type cheese with Parma ham and a small amount of sautéed potatoes plus lots of good bread. Obviously I chose it and you could say that was my bad but I assumed as it was a main course option it would have been prepared in a different way suitable for one person. It was delicious but I thought it was an ill judged and peculiar dish to be offered as a main course- it would have been a substantial and lovely sharing dish for 4 people as a starter. I was also surprised to find Parma ham rather than the salami. I adore cheese and have a good appetite but even I was defeated and only managed to eat about 1/3 of it. I mentioned this pleasantly to the waiter when he came to collect our plates and also mentioned about the substituted Parma ham. He said he would mention it to the manager. The first waiter came over saying ‘you’ve got a complaint I hear?’. I said ‘no it’s just an observation’. He told me that the Parma ham WAS salami. I was a bit perplexed as the two meats are not similar at all and we entered into a faintly Trumpian discussion which I quickly gave up on as he was not to be moved on this ‘black is white’ issue. He then proceeded to take my carafe of white wine away although there was still some wine left in it. I had had two glasses anyway so didn’t bother calling him back but again I thought this was very peculiar and bad service. My friend had pheasant macaroni which she said was tasty but definitely not pheasant but after the salami/ham saga we didn’t bother saying anything about that. I ordered an Americano coffee which came quickly with sugar but no milk. When I asked him for milk he raised his eyebrows said ‘milk?’ incredulously as though I’d asked for something really outlandish and reluctantly supplied it. We had one dessert which was a ridiculously huge portion but delicious. The bill came with a 12.5% tip added. We declined to pay this, the waiter queried it, had to go off to the manager again and give us a new amended bill after a bit of faffing around- an awful palaver over a so called discretionary service charge. My friend gently explained that we had not had a great experience and why and this was noted with not so much as a grudging acknowledgement; let alone an apology. I have never had such crack handed and odd service and we both left feeling very let down. It really spoiled what would have been a lovely evening otherwise. I wouldn’t have minded about the weird main course if they had handled it with a little more grace. A simple acknowledgement and comment about ‘sorry it wasn’t what you were expecting... will feedback etc’ would have gone a long way. I am not a high maintenance customer. I respect and admire restaurant staff who generally do a tough job with great professionalism. But this was not a cheap restaurant and we felt overall it was not good value and we did not have the relaxed and lovely evening we were expecting."

"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."

"The Crooked Billet had a good selection of drinks (both alcoholic non- alcoholic) a variety of foods on the menu (a shame the sharing platters both contain meat though). However, the food itself was disappointing for the prices charged. I ordered the Wagu Beef Burger for £18.95, it came with no salad, no coleslaw, stale bun no sauce in the burger. Similarly, we ordered the Nachos and the tortilla were extremely soggy, and missing jalapeño but delicious dips (salsa, soured cream, guacamole). OK were the waiting staff, felt as if they hadn't received full training, and weren't particularly friendly nor polite. It felt as if they'd rather have a conversation between themselves, than serve us as the customer. To summarise, not my most pleasurable dining experience. Definitely drink here again but unlikely to eat here again, for the prices of the menu quality of the food."

"We were a party of four and were dining prior to attending a concert at the Castle. The pub was packed to the rafters, inside and out, with lots of diners. Despite this we were quickly seated on the quieter upper floor, drinks ordered and speedily delivered. Food was excellent, really high quality and again delivered far quicker than I was expecting given how busy the pub was. All staff were very welcoming and chatty which greatly enhanced our enjoyment of a very pleasant meal. The upstairs area where we were sat was simply and tastefully furnished as well as being spotlessly clean (as were the toilets). All in all a real find, we will return and highly recommend."
