"excellent evening, we sat in the air mens bar, which checked the menu and the wine list about an excellent gin and tonic as we were early. a 3-course menu was presented as the festive season. basic choices of meat, fish and vegetarian, but not an extensive menu, in contrast to the wine list that has a very good choice. eating was tastefully presented with appropriate portion size, some can say small, but it did not let them blossom. we were served hot nuts and warm brot with 3 types of spread, also the blue cheese was declared delicious and we are not fans of blue cheese. we had tomato gazpacho with sun-dried tomatoes and the darkened healed. cod as net and also venison, both cooked to perfection. soufflé on the desert menu and it is always our choice. also cooked for perfection. with rose from proven e and a pint noir from the Loire Valley, our choice. restaurant is very beautiful, tables are not close, piano game from the gallery, attentive service, but not over camp. restaurant was very busy, but they never felt rushed. tee and coffee afterwards with some beautiful petit four and a nightcap. a really nice evening. highly recommended"

"We had an excellent evening at the restaurant. We were seated in the airy bar area and enjoyed reviewing the menu and wine list while sipping on a delicious gin and tonic. We were presented with a three-course menu as it was the festive season. The menu offered a good selection of meat, fish, and vegetarian options, although it was not extensive like the impressive wine list. The food was tastefully presented with reasonable portion sizes, some may find them small but they didn't leave us feeling bloated. We were pleasantly surprised by the warm nuts and bread with different spreads, including a delicious blue cheese spread which we enjoyed despite not being fans of blue cheese. We ordered tomato gazpacho with sun-dried tomatoes and blackened halibut for starters, followed by cod and venison for mains, all of which were cooked to perfection. For dessert, we chose the soufflé, which was also perfectly cooked. We paired our meal with a rose from Provence and a pinot noir from the Loire Valley. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere with well-spaced tables and live piano music. The service was attentive but not overbearing, even though the restaurant was busy. We ended the evening with tea, coffee, petit fours, and a nightcap. Overall, it was a lovely evening and we highly recommend this restaurant."

"Made plans to come here for lunch after a morning visit to Camera Obscura which is just a little way up the mile. Been here before years ago loved it…love it still! Great ambience, fantastic service and amazing food all hot, fresh and tasty. Large portions too! I can definitely recommend the haggis bites they’re delicious. Shout out to our sever Sophie who was lovely; welcoming, friendly efficient. Love this place will return."

"Quilon has a lot going for it a Michelin star, great service, excellent food that allows its patrons to explore novel dishes that draw inspiration from coastal south Indian cuisine. However, the only reason I'm docking a star is that this place needs a bit of an overhaul. The ambience feels dated and is unimpressive, the attention to detail is lacking (our drab white dining table cloth had stains from a previous meal, there were fingerprint stains on the wall). Overall, it feels like the place is in serious need of renovations. Nonetheless, the team is doing an excellent job with the food and the service, and that is something I greatly appreciated. Would recommend visiting for the food!"

"Food very nice but not particularly memorable. The curry portions are very large so I prefer to share number of them with a group. It’s a shame they only serve Thali at lunch so I couldn’t order for dinner. Ambience it’s one big room with the tables spaced out nicely so not too cramped. We had a nice table in the corner. Staff they were pleasant but it was hard to get their attention. It’s one of those places where specific staff are looking after your area of the restaurant so you can’t just ask anyone for something. Overall, it was a nice choice to go there with a group of friends and some good food."

"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."

"The Filling Station, also known as the Recharge Station, is a chain of restaurants that some people refer to as American style, located throughout the United Kingdom but mainly in Scotland. Each location offers a mix of local and British dishes, making it a bit of a hybrid between a traditional American restaurant and something more unique. The prices are reasonable and the food is of good quality. The menu includes Scottish specialties like haggis, pasta, and burgers, along with a selection of wines and decent beers (served from 10:00 am to midnight). The modern atmosphere and decor make it a great spot for a casual meal or a quick bite, living up to its name as a place to refuel with good food."

"Just not a convincing or special, enough! Service hap hazard. Not enough staff, main course served twice. Some of the staff clearly untrained. Hugely over priced for standard Indian fare that you could get on brick lane or East London. The menu just looked as if it was through together, apart from the desserts which were good. Meat and fish was cooked perfectly, to be fair, but just not that good overall! Nothing special at all! At a price of for two! If your going to charge these prices even on Valentineâs Day! Everything should be slick and the menu impressive. It wasnât The most annoying thing was the awful standard sitar music, reminiscent of your local high street curry house! Disappointing overall. Itâs a shame because visited this restaurant years ago and it was much better, than it was on this occasion."

"We live in Devon and visited some years. When we were near Amesbury again, we had to come again. The food is fantastic, the service was good and the staff were attentive and wonderful. I had the Mixed platter feast house special and my wife had the Balti Lamb shank house special. Both were wonderful and good portions. Fully recommended. We will be back. My last photo post had over 100,000 views. Hope this feedback helps your decision to visit."

"Novikov is one of the well known fine dining Russian restaurants in London .. where all famous people meet together, The restaurant has two sections: The Asian section is kind of a dark place that serve noodles or sushi but and a lot of people prefer it over the other section. The Italian section is well lighted and decorated.. we had our dinner here started by the restaurant appetizer with some locally baked bread served with something similar like aubergine sauce and we ordered the truffle pizza and was delicious with a crab pasta but it’s looked like Tuna Pasta Also for drinks they have a variety of fresh juices alongside with soft drinks and we ordered a fresh pineapple juice and it has a refreshing taste "

"this is a new-ish curry house that was taken over by the mehak. it is worth visiting, as both eating and personal are hard to impress. more and more Indian restruanten go for the super-Blande and brown gravy angle than when they buy their food wholesale from 'iceland' this eat tastes authentic and in-house but on the 3 insass I was, they have managed to repeat the meal (I know boring! on the same standard over and over again. I recommend it."

Adnams ghost ship was lush and service was with a helpful smile. As and when in Holt, defo worth a visit we’ll be back! Service: 5 Location: 5"

"Couples visit for a birthday on a quiet Wednesday evening. Was hoping for a great meal as it 's the first time we 've managed to get out since having a baby 3 weeks ago and organising childcare etc is always tough. 10mins after ordering we were told the starter that was labelled 'Gluten Free ' isn 't actually gluten free and was mislabelled on the menu so my partner had to change her order which of course is disappointment. Concerning as this was only caught as our waitress double checked with the chef. I had ordered bread and olives for starter however only the the bread was brought out until the manager noticed I was missing the olives, oil, vinegar and side plates. They had also brought my 'half starter ' out without my partner having anything brought out. The mains were prompt and tasty albeit very expensive for the steak. The wait staff were uncommunicative and apart from the manager seemed oblivious to our issues. Disappointed that nothing was taken off the bill and there was even the default 10% service charge added! Not one to kick up a fuss but won 't be returning."

"This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I was impressed by their diverse menu that catered to a range of tastes. The staff were extremely friendly and personable, and really added to the overall experience of dining here. I would rate the service, food, and atmosphere all a 5 out of 5. The price per person for lunch was between £20-30."

"We had to change our reservation from pre-theatre to after theatre, which was accomodated without any issues. We did not realise just how long we had spent dining but were not rushed at all by the staff either who stayed after closing time. Our gluten free vegetarian dietary requirements were catered for not only from the menu but also on recommendation from the chef preparing a special dish of stuffed pepper. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will return if ever in the Colchester area again. They are also part of the Meerkat system which is the only reason that we found this restaurant and only goes to show that you can choose to go somewhere in a different town based on that network of choices as well. Excellent"
