"Decided to go to Christophers for the brunch we had heard that the chocolate brioche French toast was worth trying. It was yummy ! I wasn't able to finish mine but I think most people would be able to. We had coffee and tea also. We did contemplate ordering the pancakes but we were too full! It wasn't too busy at all, considering it was half term.... it was a Wednesday though so perhaps that's why. We did call ahead as we were running 5 minutes late, the staff were understanding. The service was quick and the vibe inside was quite chilled. I do think they should have a better drinks menu and offer more savoury vegetarian options for breakfast as they only had avocado on toast. Another couple left in a huff as they wanted pancakes and they were only available on the weekend menu. Maybe this is something that could be adjusted? Other than that a good experience, I would visit again!"

"Arrived on a Saturday eve hoping for a lovely Indian meal. The waiter led us to our table where the chairs had lots of crumbs on them and the floor was covered in broken popadoms. Tried to ignore this but noticed a waiter clearing a table nearby by wiping all crumbs on the floor, hence why our area was a mess.Ordered a Balti but wanted it hot, like a madras or dansak. Unfortunately it arrived mild. My friend had a dansak and it was perfect, absolutely nothing like I had asked for heat wise, which was a disappointment. Flavour wise is was nice, but nothing like a typical balti. Sadly the evening was spoiled somewhat by guests squaring up which nearly came to blows, right behind where we was sitting. Not the restaurants fault, however the numerous waiters didn’t have a clue how to handle the situation and just stood there bemused at the situation. Not very reassuring for the other guests in the restaurant.All in all a disappointment to what I’d hoped to be a nice evening"

"It is all to easy to respond to feedback requests by giving 5 stars. In this case however there was no exaggeration. For the Tuesday steak night my wife had sirloin and I had rib-eye steak. Mine was the best I have had for many a year. Service was welcoming and attentive. The evident concern was that we should enjoy ourselves. This target was well met. Then came the dessert. Wow ... chocolate fondant. A real pleasure. Thank you all for making our short stay just what we wanted. We definitely plan to revisit in the not to distant future."

"We tried the vegan tacos with tofu and flower cabbage, as well as the fish tacos. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! We highly recommend them for a filling brunch option. Don't forget to order a margarita to go with your meal – it's a must! We can't wait to come back again."

"I have booked this place for Birthday celebration. The food was excellent! Could not fault it ....What I would expect for that high end price, so affordable on special occasions, unless you are loaded :). We have had a good quality NY steaks, which frankly could be prepared at home ( as I am a great cook), but wanted to go somewhere special as well as wanted my son for the first time to taste oysters .Service/attention to guests however needs to be shaken up a bit. The staff is bored from working years at the same place and loosing an attention to important details, which is essential for guests and completes an ambiance....and I have no idea how managers do not see this. So for that I would not go there again.I do not expect in place like this ( or as a matter of fact in any restaurant or even bistro), asking for napkins, spoon for sauce, dispersing bread plates at the table myself... and wine glasses were not sparkly clean...Have worked in hospitality about 20 years back and it is sad to see how standards of service are going down...."

"I was interested to try out Jackson Rye as I love American food. However I left feeling slightly empty. My market soup with pumpkin amd truffle was served innovatively in a little jug and separate bowl. However it was overly rich with truffle and overly seasoned too. A solid portion size however the main course chef 's salad with chicken was not good value- a pathetic piece of fried chicken (not as described on the menu) with some burnt 'crispy kale ' and soggy gem lettuce was not great for 12 pounds. Having said this about the food, the decor, music and service was top notch."

"Nearly every year on our anniversary me and my partner have come to Oswestry Prezzo for a meal to celebrate. We have also been here for my brother in laws 50th birthday meal. I find on a lunch time visit it is less busy and staff are super accommodating. The meals are amazing on the lunch menu and the wait for our food is short. We have also been on an evening which has which has been again great service and foot all be it quite busy. When we had the birthday meal for my brother in law the management was not as accommodating as we expected and also there were a few orders that came out wrong but we enjoyed ourself none the less, as we were a party of around 30 people. Both me and my partner have been back since to celebrate another anniversary during the lunch time period and the management didn't fail to be nothing short of amazing. In summary this prezzo is amazing during the lunch time and good on the evening just alot busier during evening times can lead to simple mistakes which the staff are happy to rectify easy enough."

"Set in the picturesque village of Blakeney where you can enjoy a walk before or after dinner, The Moorings has a simple yet pleasant decor where the team work hard to prepare fresh (mainly) fish dishes without a chip in sight. As with all fresh food restaurants the menu isn't over-long but provides plenty of choice. On the evening that we visited they were full and perhaps a little overworked as the wait was a tiny bit longer than you might expect but it was worth the wait. And they're busy for a reason. The desserts weren't quite up to the rest of the menu (sorry Angela) but our group throughly enjoyed our visit and would happily return."

"After waiting 20 minutes to be seated at our table in the restaurant my husband went to the bar to ask if we could be shown to our table. Ten minutes later the restaurant manager seated us and explained that they had some big parties in and one of their chefs had called in sick so service was 'dragging a bit '. We chose our food from the menu and waited for a waitress to come and take our order, which didn 't happen for another half an hour. Just as we were considering leaving, the waitress came and took our order finally, an hour after our booking time. Our first course arrived around 20 mins later (nearly half past nine) and the soup was very nice. When we asked if it came with bread, we were told no as it had croutons in it. I asked if we could have some bread anyway and the waitress reluctantly got us some. However, eating a first course at 9.30pm just seemed too late so by the time our main course came out at 9.50pm we just wanted to quickly eat it and get home as it was late and we had babysitters to get back for. We therefore asked for the bill as soon as the main course was finished and left. I understand some nights are busy and it cannot be helped if the chef is unwell but what I do object to is the attitude of staff, who really didn 't seem too bothered about serving us or making the experience a positive one. If somebody had told us on arrival that there would probably be an hour 's wait to order our food, we would have understood and we would have had the choice to wait or go elsewhere but being told that service was slightly 'dragging ' was nowhere near the truth. It was very delayed indeed. A simple gesture such as a complimentary drink and some snacks to keep customers happy while they were kept waiting would have been all that was needed. Nothing was taken off of our bill as a good will gesture for all the time wasted and there was no apology when we paid. All in all it left a bad taste in our mouths and we will not be returning."

"Fantastic Indian food and my favourite Indian restaurant. Beautifully decorated rooms with good bar and the excellent dishes include the chicken thighs, Golden Fried Prawns, Butter Chicken Curry, Hyderabadi Lamb Shank and kebab platter. Good set lunch menu and quieter than in the evening so good for a business lunch. It is pricey but the quality and presentation is outstanding."

"Located on a quiet side street in the historic town of Sandwich, this charming old pub is a delightful spot to enjoy a meal or drinks with friends. The front bar area has a low ceiling supported by exposed wood timbers, giving it a cozy atmosphere. The walls are made of exposed flint concrete, adding to the rustic feel. The rear dining area is newer and offers views of the small outdoor patio. The menu features a small selection of game dishes, with the duck from the lunch menu receiving high praise. The food is well-prepared and presented, making it a great choice for a casual meal with friends or a business lunch. While Sandwich may not be a well-known destination, taking the time to visit this pub is definitely worth it if you find yourself in the area."

"my wife and I spend about 3 months in northumberland, visit a series of beauty spots, historical sites and equally important to look for great restaurants. our internet research and talks with locals led us to the old boat house in...Amble to lunch. the location of the restaurant (right on the coast) and near a series of interesting huts that houses a lot of objects was immediately attractive. this was given by entering into the restaurant and a very warm welcome by the staff and a table directly on the harbour. all very positiw, but this was just the prelude for some amazing food. we chose the common seafood plate – a huge wooden tablet with a whole lobster, perfectly cooked sea crumbs, lindisfarne oysters, roll mop herings, smoked makrele, hot cold smoked salmon, shetland mussels and delicious broken fish goujons roy pawns with delicious freshly baked freshly baked we would have stopped (should) after this amazing display of delicious food, but we ended the order of desserts – they were also delicious and glad that we did not leave. we can recommend a visit to the old boat house for a culinary extravaganza!"

"5 Stars??? Yes I do feel generous sometimes, unlike the teachers in high school who never wanted to shell out that extra half a mark for a spelling mistake. Let 's get back to Manhattan Grill and analyse (food reviewing is very serious business I tell ya! how and why they deserve full marks. I am more of a West London girl and I like the Victorian and Georgian buildings but the walk to Manhattan Grill, especially the pretty bridge you have to cross from Canary Wharf to reach your destination (Manhattan Grill is extremely romantic (that is the best word I could use, I promise . The external ambience of any restaurant does add to its charm. Oh did I mention that this steak house is a part of Mariott, these guys are ace when it comes to such things! I made a reservation before going and I was extremely delighted to see that the manager remembered my name without having to look at one of those black diaries. The service was a bit slow initially (it took them a while to get us water which we requested for but the overall service made up for that little jolt. I was generous to take a friend of mine along with me (nothing is worse than eating alone, I promise to try this place (did I mention that I won a voucher from this lovely site? Woohoo Zomato! and we decided to go for cocktails instead of wine, think we both had enough of wine over the weekend. While I was trying to carefully pick a cocktail from the menu and looking rather confused, the manager suggested that we had to the bar where an extremely experienced bar genius will talk us through all of them. We made our way to a very old fashioned (in a nice way looking bar called the G&T bar and as the name suggests they specialise in Gin. The bar genius, Sam made us try some lovely Gin from around the world Saffron infused Gin, Spice route Gin and a very London Gin. All of them had their own distinctive tastes I am not a neat spirit kind of girl but even I loved all of them especially the silk route or spice route gin (yeah yeah make those lame curry jokes, go on because I could taste the cinnamon, cardamom and other gorgeous spices. He made me a cocktail with that gin and added some more exciting things to it which included rosemary, chocolate and orange liquor BLISS. Before entering the restaurant I was starving but all this Gin excitement made me forget my hunger but by the time my cocktail was ready the waiter came and said : 'Madam your Steak is ready ' Perfect Timing! I went for the rib eye steak with creamy mash and red wine sauce keep it simple! My steak was perfectly cooked medium well (just the way I like and it was MASSIVE! A person with my appetite can never finish one of those, and needless to say I didn 't either! After being rather satisfied with my steak and cocktail, we ordered for a Manhattan Raspberry Cheesecake It was again simple but delicious. Perfect sweetness, I don 't like my cheesecakes to be extremely sugary and a generous crust nom nom nom. And... I am running out of stars! Verdict : Stunning location, Great service, Knowledgeable bar genius with a great moustache, Beautiful,well done meat and yummy desserts That m 'dear is a perfect dinner! I shall rest my case here.
