"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."

"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."

"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!"
