"It was ok over all. The starters were superb, really good. The main courses were amazingly ordinary and disappointing. My steak was a medium rare fillet. It was accurately medium rare but strangely dry , almost as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp and it had very little flavour. I had a lemon meringue pie where meringue was wet and sloppy and the pastry was as if ready cooked from a supermarket. My companion had a slow cooked lamb shank which is usually an easy winner but again it was dry with a sauce which had been poured over it and then congealed. . A slow cooked lamb shank usually has the wonderful juices in which it has slowly come to fruition. The food came with minimal vegetables . Side dishes were ostentatiously expensive. As is the whole menu. We paid £180 for three people including the tip. Enough for a bargain weekend away somewhere. As a family we have dined in some amazing restaurants and understand the costs involved at times and pay willingly when the experience is special. But the whole way through this meal it was short of great. The waiters were friendly and attentive but far too eager to top up your wine glass. It became a nuisance and a pressure. Half a glass does not need topping up to the brim. To top things off for me I went to the ladies at 10.35 at the end of our meal . There is only one toilet for the whole restaurant. There was a cleaning person in the loo. spraying the most toxic and pungent fumes. Having entered this airless cubicle, two lungs full of Izal or what ever chemical obliterated all memory of the meal and the wine. At 10.35? The inference also being that I was not required on the premises any longer. The Maitr d' was charming and as friendly and helpful as he could be. 5 stars for him! The situation was lovely and we had a table by the window. However the experience did not in any measure add up to the lush advertisement online and was very very expensive at the price."

"I like the shopping center broadway, although there are not very many shops, but I can come in the rule with something. on the top floor there is a cinema, a gym and restaurants (I recommend the Chinese, everything you can eat) you will find some really nice trinkets and African themed clothing in a beautiful shop near the rear entrance / exit next to a lot of items that are quite unique. also shepherds bush market is a 2min to walk away and the lively uxbridge road with its sortiment at shops, salons and restaurants make a pleasant day shopping and eating and if they are boring, they can always go to westfields, I do not recommend this!"

"I went here with a friend for an evening meal. We were there for 7pm and it was very quiet, only about 5 other customers, so had extremely quick service. I had to ask which items on the menu were vegan, and the waitor was very helpful. Turns out almost everything is vegan, or can be made vegan, so there was plenty of choice. We started with poppadoms and pickles (only the raita isn't vegan), and the food came so quickly, we hadn't even finished these! For mains, we shared a dosa (large with good flavour) and a vegetable curry (it was top of the menu, but can't remember the name!)which was nicely spiced, although mostly carrot rather than the advertised exotic' veg! There were a lot of waitors around, so the service was really good. They were continually topping up our water and were quick to bring the desserts menu and bill. A really nice little restaurant, with a convenient location in London, plenty of choice and good value for money. I'll definitely be returning to try some more items on the menu!"

"Booked last minute for 3 of us but early in the evening, so getting a table was no problem. The staff are friendly and the food was all really lovely. Just lost one star as there seemed to be a slight communication issue between waitress and kitchen. There was an issue with our starter that needed to go back to the kitchen, and the table in front had a similar issue with their main, that had to go back. So once that minor issue is resolved, it would be full stars, as the food was very yummy and everyone was very nice."

"positiw: good food, nice atmosphere negatiw: fees for water, very slow and inattentive service. arrived when the place was completely empty, except one person. it was not sure if they were open, as there were no employees, waited about 5 minutes in the door and then someone finally appeared. I asked if we had a reservation, I said no. he has swung his computer for a bit and then directed us to a table, given us some menus and disappeared. a little strange, as it was empty in the round. the table and the chairs were extremely tacky, so we caught a few tissue from the bar to stay under one of the tables. the menu looks fantastic. the kerl comes back and takes our drink order. we order coffee and lead water he brings. it turns out that they are £1 for conductive water (oh but it is unlimited! more people arrive until half full. we waited half an hour before he picked up our order, and we wondered if they had to go into the bar to order finally he takes our order. fry up, pancakes, two milkshakes. the food takes about 20 minutes. milkshakes come 5 minutes after eating, in sticky milk bottles, because it drops on the side very delicious! would come back, but hope next time a better service"

"Me and my friends have been coming to Desco lounge for a while now but I can truthfully say this will be the last time that we visit. We ordered 2 lounge breakfast, whilst the drinks arrived promptly we had to wait a fair while for our food. When it arrived the bacon was burnt and the beans were cold. I went to the bar to speak to one of the servers as none had bothered to come and check back our food and were clearly far too busy on a Monday afternoon to accommodate us. The portion size difference was crazy aswell considering we had the same meal! We wanted to order some extra beans and toast so we asked one of the ‘waitresses’ if we could order with her, she answered very abruptly we don’t do table service. And were told we have to go to the bar or order online. It was as if we were being a pain asking her these questions. As we were waiting for our fresh beans our food was getting cold so once it had been 10 minutes since we had ordered the beans I asked the same server how long they would be she replied ‘you haven’t been waiting 10 minutes’ so I showed her the proof on my order. She walked away as I was still speaking with her and a few minutes later returned with my food. I wouldn’t even understand this behaviour if she was new as she was so rude to us, as if she forgot we were the guests. The worst thing is when you order online it asks if you would like to tip! The cheek of it!"

"I visited kcal kitchen today later in the afternoon and was the only person in, but I guess that in office lunches or post-work before gym time this place will be pretty busy. I love the fresh decor with wooden, white walls and green color splashes, it is really bright and spacious, although it is in a cellar area. I wish they had more powerpoints, because there are only two I could see and both are closely connected to each other, although they have free Wi-Fi, it is not really ideal for sitting when they have to plug in. Just remember and take some 'out of the screen' time and get their personal wellness charge instead! I don't think they're necessarily going to go to a fitness studio to enjoy a kcal kitchen, but if they try to watch what they eat, or just love fresh colorful food kcal is ideal. all the elements on the menu have macro details, so they can choose food that best suits their nutritional needs - this makes it easy to count calories when that is more their ding. Do you want additional protein or maybe looking for lower carbohydrate options? try the side menu where you can get simple things like cooked eggs, extra chicken or fish or maybe even a superfood salad. Do you love tasty hot eating? Why not try a healthier pizza or burger; they also do gluten-free pizzas. there is a refrigerator where they go quickly to eat, but I wanted to sit in and was treated very pleasant and cheerful table service. I had a noodle dish with tofu instead of huh, this came with a sperling of roasted cashews and many silk tofu. the zoodles/courgetti spaghetti with this was so good, tender, but not overcooked. I liked the gentle aromes, with ingwer and garlic and a hauch of chili makes it very refreshing and zingy, especially with a nourishing smoothie with cocos water. the suppe of the day was roasted garlic and tomaten (vegan,) with optional cream freche (veggie version,) and the person that was served was asked if I had a dessert tied, but I was nicely full of my main and smoothie, to decide that pfan cake should be saved for another day. I will soon be back, such a great caffe and nice to have a healthy place to hang, especially since they are open til 7pm."

"This restaurant review is a disaster. The coffee cups were only half full and when we requested hot milk, we were served cold milk. The toast was lukewarm/cold and the bacon sandwich had only 2 small pieces of fatty bacon. We complained to the waitress but received no action or feedback. We used to visit two or three times a week, but lately the standards have fallen, especially with the appearance of the serving staff. There are a few exceptions, such as the young lady who has been there since it opened. I think this will be our last visit as there is now plenty of competition."

"Wow! Think they may have a new chef since we last came in 2022 but absolutely sensational food… we popped in for lunch then came back for dinner it was so delicious and also amazing value?? They have a three “small plates” for £25 but the plates are a full meal! Small it’s not part of them the quality of the meat and the flavour of the dishes are fabulous. The menu is also massive and it Dosent need to be because it’s all so delicious "

"I like it here, but I prefer her new sister restaurant in partick. this place will not take any reservations, so they have to try their luck if they get a table, and they never play K-Pop despite a Korean restaurant. who does in partick, and they take reservations. they also have two different types of pancakes on their vegan menu. Otherwise, if they are in the city center and looking for kitchen a bit different than burger and pizza, I would recommend checking this place. in portions are good."

"Went here a while ago. The staff are friendly and if you come when they open at 5 they usually don’t have a queue. If you have a larger group, it may be best to call up to reserve a table. Food here is amazing, I really couldn’t fault anything. If there is one thing to get I would say their glazed ribs as it just fell off the bones. Even the potatoes had flavour, I would definitely need to come back to try the rest of the menu. It is also halal, but ask beforehand to double check. Personally, I feel like the price is reflected in the quality of the food."

"We’ve been to 10 Cases several times. This Tuesday evening we popped in for a quick meal before going to the Ballet. Dining room was empty with the exception of the two servers working that night. This was in the wine bar section. The welcome was lack lustre. And we ordered the Pork Collar. Server told us that it’ll take 20 minutes plus. Not a problem. Our wine arrived. Here are our issues… both servers were talking over our table and heads. One standing on the left. The other on the right. As if we were not there. Since order will take 20 minute plus… server should have asked if we wanted a bread basket. Instead… we had to ask. Their attitude was too casual to the point of being disinterested. I asked …” how is the Pork Collar?” He replied…” What do you mean?” Both servers didn’t bother to enquire about our meal or ask if we needed more wine. They clearly were not interested in the customers. Nor their jobs. A restaurant with this pricing should train staff better. Fortunately the Pork Collar was ok but platted in a rather small dish resembling a soup bowl! It’s pretty clear if we should visit again!"

"I have been frequenting the Grupo Lounge for many years, in fact I used to go there when it was a Blockbuster! What always appealed was the relaxed atmosphere and the quality staff that up until covid really were excellent! Sadly these days it seems to be a shadow of its former self! They have kept the same licensing hours but I can only assume they only pay staff till 11 these days because when it comes to closing they are (frankly) very rude! I 'm sorry to say but as a regular you can tell there are problems as you never see the same bar staff twice which frankly is very telling! Tonight for example I have ordered a drink when the bar shut at 11 'o clock then by 11:10 have had a member of staff tell me that I have to walk home with my pint in a plastic cup?! It wouldn 't be so bad but in doing so he told me it was because of 'their license ' clearly showing a complete lack of knowledge as all their license says is about when they can sell drinks until! Here 's an idea, if you want people to leave by 11:10 maybe don 't sell them a full pint right up until 11pm?! All I read about pubs online is woeful tails about how pubs are going out of business, well guess what this is why! Make a choice, either close early (10:45pm) and don 't make it about the money or accept that people need time to drink a pint of alcohol and serve till 11pm with kicking out being 11:30 (which it always had been for years before)! It wouldn 't have been so bad but some random new starter on the bar then said we were being rude for (calmly) pointing out their misunderstanding around licensing laws! As a local this was always one of my favourite bars but as a local I can safely say that if they don 't sort out their customer service they will no longer have any customers to rudely kick out!"

"I often make visits to this quirky little slice of heaven! This place has a great vibe with lovely staff, small but this does not cramp its style! You can eat in or out and there's great variety in what they produce, loads of different milkshakes and smoothies which I am trying to get through but I am confident enough in this place to recommend anything! They also do food such as paninis, waffles and crepes along side a selection of hot drinks! Prices are not extortionate either, very cheap in consideration for what you get! I'd say this is designed more for younger people due to the decor and menu itself but definitely something different and worth a try for anybody!"

"My family have been out here many times and always received great food. Today myself my sister and cousin came out and had a carvery which was the best ever! The food was piping hot and the service was brilliant. Love and clean, staff were cleaning after every table was done with, gel provided and we were not sat close to others. Very impressed! Will be back again soon."

"Very poor service. Staff did no take the order and after minutes of waiting walked to front of house and made the order at the bar Then waited a further minutes for food to arrive The place was freezing cold as they couldnât be bothered to turn the heating on The food was surprisingly ok though If you want to sit in a cold restaurant in a room that has not been decorated for over years whilst waiting over an hour for the good to arrive, then I would recommend this experience."

"It was my first time visiting Trader Vics for my birthday after COVID-19 and my first impression is the atmosphere was lovely and friendly. The staff who attended to us “Rene” was very knowledgeable and made positive recommendations. In a nutshell Rene truly cared about my experience and gave me efficient and outstanding service and he made my day very memorable!! The food was dynamite! We were happy with our meals! The lobster dish was stunning. I highly recommend Trader Vics!!"

"Had been looking forward to visiting the Brisley Bell for years and finally decided to book a celebration meal there. The setting is incredible the interior design is amazing. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. But sadly that was all let down by what we were there for the food. We were expecting something pretty special but found it pretty bland and uninspiring. The cod with new potatoes and broccoli in particular. It appeared to all be boiled with a packet mix sauce."
