"Our evening was completely ruined when we arrived at the restaurant to find it closed for a private party, despite having made a reservation months in advance and receiving a reminder from Open Table the day before. Open Table, a restaurant booking service, was not very helpful in this situation. The restaurant eventually accommodated us in the hotel lounge, where we were told that drinks were complimentary. However, after our meal (which was decent but not exceptional), we were shocked to discover that we had been charged £220 for the "free" drinks. To make matters worse, the restaurant had trouble finding a working card machine, resulting in a lengthy and frustrating payment process. In the end, we had to rush to catch a train, leaving our daughter to settle the bill for the disastrous meal she and her sister had planned to celebrate their birthdays. Upon reviewing the bill on the train, we also noticed that a 12.5% service charge had been included. Overall, it was a complete catastrophe from start to finish."

"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!"

"This is the ideal spot to commemorate a special birthday. My daughter turned 21, and Wildfire's menu and atmosphere were perfect for both young and old guests! The service was outstanding as well. I highly recommend it."

"My friend arrived early , was shown to the table and not asked if she wanted a drink ..left oar hed until we arrived some mins later. The head waitress seemed very stressed and short with us on our arrival .I understand they were busy but to be just told we are busy and have her run off in the other direction while we waited was a but rude. We then had to ask if we had to order drinks at bar or was waitress service to which we were again told no waitress well be with you in a minute we are really busy abrupt.When we did get to give our order is was rushed and abrupt. My friend got given a gin and tonic when she asked for vodka and tonic..it was replaced which was good. We asked for a bottle of sparkling water and a jug of tap water. The drinks were brought over sporadically and they forgot our tap water. We chose cocktails instead of dessert and asked for the bill when ordering them. We had to ask for the bill twice. Despite the bad service , we had nice time and just got on with the meal celebrating my Birthday. We wont be returning anytime soon."

"The food at this restaurant is excellent, and the service is timely. There is a great selection of dishes, ranging from tapas to mains. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant is conveniently located within walking distance of the main bus station. However, please note that a 10% service charge will be added to your food bill."

"This is the first time that I have been to Quilon in many months because of Covid but I was delighted to be back. The food is as good as ever and the service charming and unobtrusive and I was pleased to see that they had added some really creative cocktails to their list. All in all, we had a lovely evening and I hope to return soon."

"I recently visited this restaurant for an express lunch for the second time. The service was quick and the staff were attentive, as the restaurant wasn't busy. I ordered a starter and chicken pad Thai, which arrived promptly. However, I found a piece of chicken that was completely raw inside when I cut into it. Despite already eating most of the food, I showed it to the waitress who apologized and removed it from my plate. They kindly took £5 off the bill, although I didn't bother arguing as I was with a client. Unfortunately, I experienced discomfort in my stomach afterwards, which I consider a serious issue. I recommend checking the meat carefully if you choose to dine there."

"The food was awful, we most definitely have had better authentic thai food at food stalls. Lamb shank panag curry was totally flavourless. Duck with cashew nut was mostly soggy duck skin the mixed started was ok because of variety but also quite bland. The service was awful, they tried to charge us separately for each item on the set menu and would t apologise for their mistake. Atmosphere wasn’t quite empty for a Saturday night and it’s become very apparent why. Would not recommend. I also feel quite unwell now."

"Food was good and tasty but the service failed 1- didn’t take my drinks order left me out 2- again I had to call her back to take my order for my main meal, I was sat in the middle on a table of 6 people but that’s no excuse to forget about me. 3- took the plates with food still on them without asking if we had finished with them or not."

"loved our experience at k2! great eating, really nice restaurant too. they were very busy for some great celebrity bookings! So I recommend it for group booking. at a point it was a little difficult to get service when they have a lot waiter, but it is understandable if there were big bookings! was also happy for them that they were so busy. really great ambiente and would come back definitiw."

"Very disappointing experience. Took 3 hours to get through our meal. It went wrong when the starter arrived an hour in it was cold as if it had been sitting out for a long while. We did get this changed but I had to go to the concierge as there was no one to call back to the table. We then waited another 1.5 hours to get our main, they brought warm plates about 45 minutes before the food turned up so plates were cold by the time the food arrived, Food was ok, had much better in other branches of this chain and in other Thai restaurants. We will not be returning,"

"The restaurant didn't have my reservation even though I made it through open table so there was waiting around. The waiters were not attentive. The service was very slow and the food wasn't that great. I found the waiters quite standoffish because we were Asian and could understand their language but they tried to make it like they couldn't understand. I went with my parents who are in their 60's as they wanted to try out something different from home cooking. I would not go there again."

"It has been great watching this place go for strength to strength since it first arrived in Angel. I’d first heard about it from a friend who raved about the one in Covent Garden and I’ve enjoyed seeing more and more of them pop up in London. Even though Bill’s is starting to have franchise status it sticks to its roots by maintaining the lovely home grown feel that made it so successful. Bottles and jars of its specially sourced produce still line the walls, next to blackboards which exclaim the specials in a charmingly slap dash fashion. Bill’s is great for any time of day; I particularly like their lighter snacks at lunch time, having once had a beautifully fresh crab salad from the specials menu. But a real treat for me is to come here for brunch. The portion sizes are refreshingly large; go for a full English if you are feeling particularly hungry, a highlight of which are the Cumberland sausages which are thick and tasty. Even the buttered toast is a gorgeous salty delight, and is one of the best aspects of the huge serving of salmon and scrambled eggs on toast which is on offer. The one criticism I have is for the cream tea which didn’t quite live up to my expectations; it was nice but not up to the standard I have come to expect from Bill’s as the cakes were slightly dry and the sandwiches boring. But all in all Bill’s is fast becoming one of my favourite restaurants, for the colourful, pretty interior, friendly service and delicious indulgent food."

"Great service and environment, the interior is really spacious and escapes the traditional dim atmosphere. I had breakfast on my own and felt really welcome. The breakfast menu does not offer anything overly impressive but it has all the classics to accommodate different tastes; the food was well cooked and brought out almost immediately. The day was overly cold (big snow day) and the waiter didn't mind I was holding onto my Starbucks take-out-hand-warmer of a tea, which was nice. The place is decent and I am looking forward to a chance to visit again, hopefully to try the dinner service"

"While the food was hot and tasty, we debated on whether to risk waiting for dessert. Unfortunately, that decision was made for us as we were left unattended after the plates were cleared for the main course. No one came back to check if we wanted dessert, so we eventually had to flag someone down to ask for the bill instead. It's a shame because the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and the food was reasonably priced—especially the festive menu. Unfortunately, the service was poor enough that we decided to remove the service charge (a first for us), and we likely won't be returning anytime soon."

"We ate here as we were staying at the hotel. After being seated it was a good 15 minutes before we were offered any drinks and at this point the restaurant was not even that busy. We eventually ordered and the starter was only a selection of bread and it took what felt like ages to be served. The bread was nice but the butter was very hard. When the main dishes came I had ordered a mushroom risotto with a rocket dressing. When it arrived there were no mushrooms to be seen, it was a grey colour and didn’t look appealing at all. Unfortunately it was tasteless and even when I added salt, pepper and Parmesan it still did not taste good so I didn’t eat it. The waitress took it off the bill and was very apologetic. Thankfully the truffle chips were good and the pasta the children ate was good. Overall I think for the price per main course of up to £20, the food should have been better."

"Good food, good ambience, and clean overall. We came on a Friday night, it's a quiet one. Me my friend were served very well by two gentlemen. I would like to compliment the kitchen staff, as the foods are very tasty, good enough for a Thai food in London. Price is reasonable for Central London as the portion is also quite generous. We had Drunken noodle, Penang curry, and takeaway a pad si ew"

"tapas dinner was quite impressive. faster service also. the cheapest red was an affordable £23 and quite pleasant and light. the three of us ordered 6 tapas, which was enough when none of us were ravenous. the waiter recommends 2 to 3 tapas per person. the salt-chid brand was the first plate to arrive, and was rich and thrown with some tart tomaten as well as a sous vide runny eigelb. accompanying crostina were delicately thin and brittle, which was a beautiful contrast in the texture. trüffelmac and cheese had arrived next door. very tasty, but the sauce was somewhat too liquid for my taste. pasta could also have been firmer. again a good idea to texture in this plate, as it contained crispy brothcrumbs, which actually contained truffles, not only truffle oil. the bark tars had arrived next door. quite fresh and even aggressive sour with picked enoki mushrooms and microcutters. after the rich mac and cheese, the sharp aromes gave a welcome contrast. I could've noticed the bad ones less. bavette steak was one of the star orders. brussel tops, sweet roast cauliflower and a opaque sauce as well as thin slices of seldom grilled steak, which is a good strategy for a cut that can be a bit hard. grilled chicken leg with salsify, sage and apricot was another excellent dish. I love greetings, but can not be harassed to cook it home because the cleaning is such a choir. very delicate grilled chicken. texture was added by the apricoses, which were added as thin dewatered shaves, chewiness. the jafit of the black bell was another satisfying court. fat, salty, with crispy skin and sitting on a stew of cockerbsen and pancetta. in general, eating was well done and well thought out. service was efficient. they were totally unfazed when we told them we had to pay with the card right now because our over arrived in a minute. in March 2019, all the restaurants of the salt yard group offer a 50% discount on the lunch and dinner on Sunday. check out the section offers of the hot dinner website to book instructions for the special deal."
