"Been trying to get a booking here since our reservation in December was cancelled due to COVID and quite frankly we were utterly disappointed. Front of house werent very friendly. The ambience was nice very chic and lively however music volume was so loud so quite hard to hold a conversation. The waiter we had was outrageously rude. He put his hand up to me to slow down my ordering which I was going at at the pace of a snail anyway! It took 10minutes to order because apparently the system was slow and I had to repeat myself several times. We couldn't decide on garlic sauce or peppercorn and we were told abruptly and rudely which one is it guys . He also was speaking to the table behind us while taking our order and didn't apologise. He just overall had a slight attitude. Starter turned up before our drinks! Calamari batter was underseasoned but sauces and squid itself were nice. Steaks turned up and mine looked anaemic (no griddle lines looked almost poached) but somehow it was overcooked as I asked for medium rare but a medium steak turned up. My partner asked for medium well and his was pink! Again steaks were underseasoned. My chips were warmish but not piping hot. Steak knives were only brought over once the steaks were already present on the table. The loo had no loo roll I went in to 3 cubicles and absolutely nothing. Our reservation was for 2 hrs and we were out of there in an hour. Honestly I can't articulate how disappointed we were with the meal. The bill came to almost 200£ and I could get better service and delicious food at a high street restaurant for a 1/4 of the price. Clearly a place that focuses on ambience as opposed to quality of food. May give the Strand outlet one last chance but I will be sticking with Gaucho or Hawksmoor in the future."

"Very nice setting and lovely food. The seafood linguine was one of the best I’ve ever had. Not so sure about including a service charge to the bill (12.5% . All be it optional, I would prefer to leave this at discretion of the customer. Overall would definitely go back there."

"The restaurant was quite full at 7:30pm with large parties and noisy children. In fairness it was Valentine's Day. Whilst it is always nice to see families with children dining together the somewhat intimate ambience the brasserie seems to target does not seem best suited to young diners. Possibly the problem is that hotel does not offer a more suitable restaurant option for those with youngsters. The bar area serves food but is rather large and not exactly cosy. The food was OK. The onion soup was extremely tasty but the cheese in it was surprisingly over generous making it a struggle to eat. The wine list is as you would expect in a London hotel, was quite expensive but with some excellent options. I made the mistake of asking for a brief pause between starters and main which as it always inevitably does, turned into an unacceptably long delay."

"Usually a really good meal an experience. On this occasion the food came out just about warm enough to eat. I felt like I needed to eat in a hurry. To be fair I was offered the option of having the food reheated, but previous experience made me say No as you often end up waiting a long time, whilst your dining companions eat alone. Also a bit disappointed that every other table around us received a sealed envelope with a voucher at the end of their meal. We didn’t. Perhaps they didn’t like my feedback?"

"I had my lunch which was Indonesian Satay with beef and Oolong tea. The food was excellent, exactly original Indonesian taste brought in a big portion together with a bowl of steam rice and a very fresh and tasty salad. Prices rather small according to the quality and quantityof food and great service 10+for the Chef. The server , Julia was extremely kind, helpful, professional, smiling all the time. 10+ Inside is a nice music , not very loud, but exactly how it should be in a small cozy Asian food place. Very peaceful and relaxing. However, it was the first time when I came to eat in this place. I walked inside, but I walked outside immediately to check the Korean pub on the opposite side of the road. Why? Because Pan Pan it doesn't look so great decorated from outside and I didn't trust it so much. I ve lived in Thailand and traveled in whole indochina for 20 years. I wanted an authentic taste of Asian food. So, I came back 3 min later because the other Korean pub was closed, so I didn't have a choice. And I didn't regret any second ! I felt absolutely great in Pan Pan! I recommend from whole my heart I ll come back at Pan Pan for sure. Pan Pan is not only a fake advertising, but for sure The real taste of Asian Far East . Thank you, Chef, Julita and all Pan Pan staff for your brilliant work"

"Have been in this branch half a dozen times and only ever 1 problem. Not so this time. Menu cut down in size. Burger bun burnt, burger drier than the sahara, chips all end bits and tasteless. Came on a tin foil plate with bit of coloured paper on top. Sea food linguine, had to look hard to see the seafood. Back to serving Bills Cider , which I would rate as bad as Strongbow, Magners. What happened to Aspalls. Now adding service charge. Definitely last visit ever to any of their branches. Such a pity as had so many good meals here and Reading/Westfield London"

"I booked Bill 's Covent Garden well in advance for my 50th birthday meal. There were 11 of us altogether. We left our unfinished cocktails at Tequila Mockingbird in order to get to Bill 's in time for our booking at 7.30pm. We arrived in time and were told that the table was not ready and to wait outside. We waited for 30 minutes during that time no one came out to update us on what was happening. When a member of our party asked when our table would be ready and explained that it was for a special occasion the manager said and I quote 'Everyone here is special '. We were not implying that we were more special than other diners, only that it was a special occasion and having to wait 30 minutes in the cold with no explanation was not a great start. When we were finally seated we were given no table water until we asked for some 15 minutes after sitting and it took a further 20 minutes for anyone to come over to take our drink order (after having to go and ask! A member of our party spoke to a senior member of staff (unsure if manager or deputy manager about the situation and that what was to be a special occasion was turning into a terrible night. Then the manageress (short blonde hair not sure of name came over and interrupted the conversation, was very rude and aggressive claiming we were being deliberately obtrusive. When we explained how long we had to wait, the lack of awareness and service at our table and that what was to be a special night was being ruined she seemed to calm down and two bottles of complimentary prosecco sent to our table. We then had a further extended wait before our order was taken. Between when we arrived at 7.30 and when we received our food was an hour and a half. The managers left before we asked for the bill and were not around to support the staff when we found discrepancies in the bill. The manageress of this Bill 's was terrible and had an absolute lack of any customer service whatsoever. She would not acknowledge that the long wait times were a problem and in fact implied that we were the problem. The wait staff however were lovely and understanding of our situation. This was a memorable birthday but not in a good way. Avoid."

"not really Thai food lovers. probably one of the least tasty Thai meal I had. I took my friend who was an Olympic visit in the country, in the epsom thai. it was a last night special meal and I was embarrassed in the low quality. the Tom-Yum soup we had was really salty and tasted nothing like tom yum tom yum, is characterized by its pronounced hot and acidic aromes and fragrant ceremonies like lemongras, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, limette juice, fish sauce and crushed chili pepper. we could just try fish sauce, nothing else. I have certainly missed the galangal and zitruskalk leaves, not cheap, but if they will serve Thai food they should be included. we had next, Pad...read more"

"Lovely decor, good service from our young waiter. The food was delicious, though there was one negative that took away a 5 star experience. We ordered from the record menu, 3 dishes each. We both received 2 dishes, with a wait of about 10 minutes for both souvlaki. On the plus side, my friend got a free Greek coffee as she hasn't had it before. Definitely worth a visit though"

"I’ve never had a bad experience at the quarter their decor is very cool and unique and their food and drinks are always made to a very high standard. They have an impressive amount of vegetarian and vegan options on both their daytime and evening menus (bagels, sandwiches, pasta, curry, salad, nachos, burgers etc) as well as dedicated vegetarian and vegan menus for their tapas nights on a Thursday and offer different plant-based milks for hot drinks. They genuinely have something for everybody only criticisms are that their portion sizes can be rather big so make sure you’re hungry !!"

"I never had a bad experience here. wow! I can not recommend this special bill enough . it has been incomparable to other bills I have been, the staff are so incredibly friendly and the service speed is amazing for the quality of the food. I had the set menu in general and dessert. all vegan beetroot steak with chips and estragon mayo- fantastic meal! the steak was the perfect texture, but if they don't like salt, it's not for them, the only thing I can criticize, how crazy salty the steak was. every other aspekt was there. the estragon mayo is a perfect sauce for everything if I am honest, my partner even took some and paired it with her fish finger sandwich. the caramel and chocolate tar came with a ball of cocosus sorbet and crushed oreo cookie and oh my goodness wow. such exquisite taste and texture (personally I don't like cocosnus, so I would preferably have lemon or celestial, because the cocosnus ended tasting like cocos oil.) the crispy basic was wonderful and it is a perfect dessert overall. very recommend this restaurant for all times of the day, vegan friendly and excellent quality. edit: will recommend once again with the addition of some more pictures - vegan watermelon and feta salat and huh with chalk."

"We had to see some important clients in Canary Wharf earlier in the week. We booked this restaurant as they expressed a liking for indian food and the location was perfect. We arrived ten minutes early, and the waiter very kindly pointed us to a parking place very near. The restaurant was split into two, with the ground floor serving Italian food and the upstairs serving Indian food. It was modern and clean and was right on the wharf, with expensive yachts parked on the Quay. The menu was very, very extensive, with some dishes I had not heard of before. We ordered a cross-section of vegetarian and meat/chicken dishes. These dishes turned up almost immediately, and none of them were freshly prepared. We got the impression everything was just reheated. None of the food was hot, not even the nan breads or Roti. The service was very amateur, though friendly enough. There were a total of five of us eating. Three of the others shared a bottle of Rioja, one had a beer, and we used three bottles of water. No one wanted a dessert. The food was cheap for the area, but it would have been much better to increase the prices and also the quality. The menu should (in our opinion) be reduced to a manageable length size so that it could all be prepared properly. The total bill was just under £200 and 12.5% service charge was added, making it £222. There were not a lot of clients in either the Indian of Italian parts of the restaurant, though our booking qas early at 6.30pm (leaving at 9pm) When we left we thought what a shame, for such a nicely presented venue, in a unique setting."

"We had a lovely dining experience and thoroughly enjoyed all the appetizers. I ordered the burrata, which I could have easily shared. My partner went for the two large speck-wrapped little pigs, while our son had the garlic flatbread, which was fresh and delicious. My partner and I shared the Santa Stack burger, which was fantastic. Our son opted for the kinderburger. The service was excellent, provided by a charming gentleman with shoulder-length hair."

"We were celebrating my father’s 89th birthday. The staff on arrival were very attentive, the restaurant itself is elegantly and tastefully decorated, with a truly homely feel. We were shown to our table which was perfect for our large family group. The delicious food was served promptly. The staff were aware it was a birthday celebration and suggested for a bit of fun to serve a birthday brownie after our meal with sparklers and candles finishing off a lovely experience. We all agreed staff were faultless"

"Luckily we booked as this is a particularly busy place, however this means the staff are pretty rushed and therefore I didn’t feel there wasnt any personal touches, as in a chat with your clientele or a smile from the guy who showed us to our table, the waitress who served us was very nice. The food was ok, not really seasoned and quite bland, the tea was warm, not piping hot as it should be. This is a busy restaurant, mainly because of the name, I don’t live far away and would visit here again if everything had been really good, however I went to non branded restaurant later that day where the staff were happy to chat and be busy and the food was delicious and hot. Sorry Bills"

"One of the most disgusting place ever ! Behind the bar is really really disgusting, the place is a rathole, smell really bad in the afternoon, the kitchen is in a condition that you guys dont even know... Nothing is fresh, almost everything is frozen, they prepare the sauce they freeze it and they use it the next day, its actually disgusting, there's only 1 toilet when there's any festival or any rugby match it's a war to go in the toilet, the staff working there are straggling working there... AWFUL !!"

"It was raining in Reading last Saturday afternoon and i needed a place to wait whilst my husband had his Covid jab. I saw a sign outside Bills saying festive cocktail, £2.99. What? £2.99 for a cocktail, that can't be right!? I went in and found a lovely table by a fireplace. The cocktail soon came and it was amazing, beautifully decorated and tasted delicious. This tempted me to look at the food menu. It was approaching 5pm and they were changing menus. I text my husband and asked him to join me when he finished his jab, as we hadn't booked anywhere. SO glad we decided to stay and eat as the food was simply outstanding. We eat out ALOT and most of the time come away feeling dissatisfied or short-changed, but everything about Bills was perfect. We shared the mezze starter and my hubby had the festive burger which he said was the best he's ever had (he's a burger expert). We finished with the festive Xmas cheesecake served in a real plant pot! Everything about our experience was amazing, from the food, to the ambience and the service. So much so that I will be organising a festive group dinner there next year!"
