"I made a reservation for a birthday dinner with my family of 5 before a theatre show. Although we received an email confirmation, when we arrived, they claimed they had no record of our booking. After some discussion, they were able to accommodate us at a table meant for 4. The food was decent and reasonably priced, especially considering its location near Leicester Square. I would consider returning, but I would definitely double check and confirm the booking beforehand."

"Great Italian Food on Harrogate Road If you're looking for an exceptional Italian dining experience, this restaurant on Harrogate Road comes highly recommended. Ambience and Service Arriving around 7 PM, we were promptly seated. The restaurant boasts exquisite decor and a welcoming ambience. From the moment we walked in until we left, the service was flawless. Starters We began with three starters: Tempura Prawns, Avocado Crab Tian, and Gamberoni Marechiaro. Each dish was perfect. The Gamberoni sauce was beautifully seasoned, the tempura batter was just right, and the Crab Tian was well balanced and seasoned. Main Courses: For the main course, we ordered the Fish Feast Platter for one (which could easily serve 1.5 people), Carbonara, and Linguine Pescatore. All three dishes were beautifully prepared and delicious. Value Although the restaurant is on the expensive side, the quality of food and overall dining experience make it well worth the price. Recommendation I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch Italian cuisine"

"Called in after a very busy day around the shops. Very warm welcome and they cleared a table for us within a couple of minutes as we hadn't booked in advance. We were just at the right time to order a cream tea which was delicious. Beautifully served in silver tea set. Fresh scones with jam and cream. If you are visiting it is definitely worth booking in advance as it was quite busy. Good toilets. Very welcoming and attentive staff . The lunch menu looked very good as did the ala carte menu."

"Absolutely beautiful Sunday lunch!Some great waiting team members as well, although one who welcomed us was incredibly moody and had her phone hanging out between her boobs which was very unprofessional and let it down about!! Great food and calm atmosphere when quiet/ fantastic atmosphere when busy. Really pretty lighting and cosy booths there too!!"

"Delightful pub just up the road from Crawley, Gatwick and Charlwood. Opposite a beautiful wooden church. There is a beautiful Inglenook fireplace with horse brasses and a post horn surrounded with fascinating artifacts and cozy seating. I had the pork and stuffing pie which was very tender and generously sized. My friend, Tony had salmon on Moroccan base which was beautifully prepared. Dessert was just as delightful with my Sticky Toffee Pudding of excellent quality with generous caramel sauce and a large dollop of chocolate ice cream. Tony loved his apple crumple and a coffee after. Jo is the landlord and was very chatty and catered for our every need with a smile and good knowledge of the history of the pub. All in all, a really good pub and a short drive from the a24, Gatwick, Crawley and Redhill. It is next to St Peters Church which is beautiful with its wooden spire. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4"

"I was there for lunch during the week and it was very quiet, only our table and one other. The service was good and the food delicious, good portions and very good value. We couldn’t understand why it was as quiet as it was. I will definitely be going back and am looking forward to seeing the restaurant in a night setting."

"Three girl friends meet up for each of their birthdays and we try to find a different venue each time. One of us is veggie so we always try to find a place where there is a good variety of veggie foods. The ambience in the Highgate Ostuni is great. Plenty of room between tables, continental farmhouse-like decor; all very pleasing. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the food was delicious."

"Upon arrival, there were only about six people in the bar area and nobody in the restaurant. The atmosphere was lacking, as it was a large and cold space. We were asked if we wanted water for the table, but it arrived to be split by the waiting staff. They mopped up without offering to take our drinks or food order. After waiting 10 minutes, we were finally asked what food we wanted and requested a drink order. After 5 minutes, they returned to check our drink order, but still did not take our food order. Two more couples were shown to their tables before our food order was finally taken. The food arrived quickly and was just okay. We paid the bill, which had already been entered by the waiting staff, so there was no option to deduct a service charge unless we asked the staff to do so. Overall, we will not be returning or recommending this restaurant."

"We approached the restaurant to see from the window that no one was inside which was worrying. I was put off and contemplated finding another restaurant. Called to ask if they was even open and turns out you have to enter and go downstairs. First impression wasn't great. Service was okay and the restaurant looked nice. I ordered the Fillet medium rare, what came was not medium rare but more medium well done, my wife ordered the chicken which was lovely. I was offered a replacement but I didn't want to wait whilst my wife had eaten her food."

"We decided a night away was in order as we wanted to do Christmas shopping without fuss and it's been a long time since we've had a night away. So.. Checkin was fine. We received welcome pack detailing WiFi , checkout etc Then came time to go to our room, this is where the review starts. We were situated on the bottom floor, room or So we go through two security doors and to what feels like the hotels dirty secret as this was a small corridor tucked away at the rear next to a security door that made you jump from inside your room each time someone used it. So once inside the room we are greeted to a very pleasant, clean room with one major issue. Where is the view? Oh there isn't one. Instead we open the curtains to discover a red and black brick walled courtyard of sorts. Now I know a view isn't always a guarantee but I'll get to that So we drop in our bags and leave to do the last of our shopping and enjoy the time away from kids that we have we are back at hotel, back in the room and within mins we've heard security/fire door ft from ours slam shut multiple times. So I ask at reception and they are booked out, no other rooms available. OK Next morning after a not awful but not great night's sleep we leave early. I make a point if saying to front of house staff about door and heat of hotel as it was extremely warm but that's not a big deal. Only to be told that I should have asked for a different room. I did and was told you were booked solid So we paid nearly for a night in Glasgow, we had what my wife described as a dungeon bedroom, with no view and a near by door that would have woke the dead. Would we stay in this hotel again? Sadly no. The room we stayed in should not be used for guests paying ridiculous prices or anyone really I can't describe rest of hotel as we didn't go lurking I absolutely hate leaving a negative review on these things but we were just so disappointed. Hopefully this gets to the right people and it doesn't happen to anyone else Thank you Date of stay was"

"we enjoyed our first visit in the re vamped abode. eating (big French onion suppenstarter for both of us and shattered fish chips for me and roast chickens for my partner) was very delicious and beautiful presented. there were not many diners and the bar area was empty, so not too much ambiente, but the dinge did not spoil. the employees were very competent and delivered a large service. only that which was not too sharp was a bit cold, it seemed that there was an air cone unit on our table. it was not an important thing, but they could do with making the place something cosier."

"Buyer beware. I went to check out this place to potentially bring friends later on. Upon entering, I noticed that the restaurant was mostly empty, with only three people at one table. A staff member who seemed rude and possibly under the influence of drugs or just poorly trained in customer service, greeted me. When I tried to order a coffee, it was initially refused, then allowed, but then denied again. I decided to leave as there are plenty of other great dining options in Cookstown with well-trained staff and exceptional food. I cannot recommend a place that portrays itself as something it is not. Just having the name "Italian Restaurant" does not make it so. Arrogance and poor manners are not qualities of an authentic Italian restaurant. Buyer beware."

"our first stay in the village hotel was brilliant. we have a lot, so the stay was very cheap. room was very clean, could have been done with a mini fridge, but it is not a big thing. we really enjoyed it with the pool steam bath. brilliant with a star-corner in the space that was handy for a morning coffee. the only thing I would mention is the noise of the gym tomorrow is quite loud, we were in the 3rd floor, and we were awakened by loud music at 8 o'clock, so did not get the sleep we hoped we had. dining room service was nice, but only a little expensive. great hotel, anyway, and would certainly return."

"We only had a few hours in Bath and this was our first visit to the city and we feel that we chose an excellent venue for our wedding anniversary lunch! Although we had the place almost entirely to ourselves, it was still a really nice atmosphere and we enjoyed excellent food with excellent service. We thought the steaks were tremendous and the opportunity to finish them ourselves was too unique to pass by, and added to the enjoyment. We weren't sure we had room for dessert, but when we saw the options, we knew we had to find some...and when they arrived, it was easily achieved fantastic chocolate fudge cake and unbelievable torte al limone...so light, so delicious, so have some! A brilliant experience which only added to our wonderful first impressions of the city...we will be back for a longer stay."

"The Shell is an excellent choice for plentiful, fresh seafood. The portions are large and diverse. The service is friendly but somewhat lacking in efficiency, and the atmosphere is not particularly exciting. Overall, it offers great value for delicious seafood!"

"Had the most delicious meal on Saturday night. We arrived to a warm welcome by the barman which makes all the difference, then seated into the restaurant by him. Our order was taken politely by the waitress and our food was served shortly after. We started with the pea arancini and the cauliflower and cheese veloute. We both had the pan seared salmon for main which was absolutely delicious, with a crispy skin to die for! Finishing with the rhubarb creme brulee and ice cream. It was such a treat to have fresh food served on hot plates. We can highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you."

"beautiful steak, drinks are expensive, waiting workers appear new, half clearing table before everyone was finished. just hope that the service standard from our first visit does not slip because if you want to calculate their prices, then you would also like a good service."

"A group of 10 longtime friends recently dined at the Butler's Arms and had a fantastic evening. We started off with drinks and were impressed by the selection of wine and real ale. Our table was ready on time and there was no pressure to order quickly. The menu was extensive, with all main dishes at a standard price on certain weekdays. Everyone agreed that the food was delicious, generous portions, and well-prepared. The staff was friendly and efficient. Special thanks to Tom, Molly, and Dan for making our evening very enjoyable."

"I booked the 3-course set menu for three people using The Fork for a very special occasion and was very disappointed with service. While I was paying the waiter (a young boy with long hair) refused to include our discount on the set menu, making us loose around fifteen euros. He said that the restaurant did not have any promotion related to The Fork even after I proved to him that I have a booking code and showed him my booking confirmation. I was very humiliated and sad. Never again. If someone else is using the discount, be aware they might not accept it."

"The dining experience was pleasant, and the staff was friendly. However, there was a long wait for the champagne, and the water could have been refilled more regularly. I settled the bill at the front, but the waiter still brought it to me at the end, which might have been due to a lack of communication among the staff. Overall, it was a lovely afternoon."
