"Just woeful service. We had to physically get up and ask to place our order. We had to physically get up and find a jug of water ourselves. Our server was glum and unwilling. Slow and unfriendly service ruined the experience."

"I went for pre show dinner and found it very convenient nearby the Lowry. There are roadworks just outside the hotel at present so it didn’t look great from the outside, but the interior is fresh and modern. Very comfortable dining and really lovely staff. The tapas was tasty and beautifully served. It made a nice change from the eateries close by to the theatre and was only a 12 minute walk along the canals- which was also very pleasant! I would go again."

"Today we went for lunch and were extremely pleased with our meal and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. It was also a special birthday lunch for my wife, which I mentioned in my booking but didn't expect anything from it. The staff greeted us and wished my wife a happy birthday. At the end of our meal, when we ordered coffee, they surprised us with a brownie with cream and a candle, and even sang happy birthday to my wife. It was a lovely touch."

"We had a wonderful evening at B&V last night. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, and the drinks were excellent, all of which are typical for a high-class restaurant. The staff were also friendly and attentive. It appears that the bar area is now more for decoration, as there was no dedicated bartender that I could see, unlike in previous years. In the past, the staff would also take our coats, and while it may seem trivial, these small gestures added a special touch that set the restaurant apart from its competition. Despite this, I still believe that B&V is the best restaurant in the area, but paying attention to these details could elevate it even further and compete with Cockfosters as well."

"My wife and I went for a meal here near end July 2024. The place was nearly empty. Little atmosphere or ambience. We both had Sea Bass for main coarse....and duly our meal arrived. Nice sea bass...but very small and served on a ton of risotto (to fill out the meal , I presume). All tasty enough. But the meal was expensive for what we got and poor value for money. Service was good and the girl dealing with us was very pleasant. But it was not an experience I will bother repeating. John Murnaghan"

"Breakfast served beautifully, presentation on the pancakes was amazing, they were lovely and fluffy and fruit zingy. The traditional breakfast was great, I wasn’t a fan of the tomatoes and mushrooms it came with on the menu so the staff member happily suggested substituting for more sausage for no extra cost. Great choice as well because the cumberland sausage is to die for, egg yolks cooked to perfection along side the bacon and the sourdough bread was on another level. The fresh juices they offer are a steal for the quality, complete burst of flavour in your mouth and the same goes for the coffee which is served in a cute glass! Perfect breakfast before our little one’s arrival! Will definitely be returning!"

"Great lunch, great atmosphere, great people. Came in for lunch on our way to Oxford for the day and was pleasantly surprised at the tasty offering for lunch. This place is down the street from where my aunt lives and when we are back to visit, we will definitely stop here again. I had the curry with chicken which was tasty, but not that spicy (I think the UK tongue is milder than most so I imagine they don't really do spicy food a lot). However, it was a good size and was quite satisfying. My beau had the crispy duck wrap and thought it was tasty. The side salad was a bit small and slightly unappealing (iceberg lettuce), but worked well as a palate cleanser. The price was very reasonable for the flavor, amount, and variety of food."

"I have recommended this place for what feels like a million times to people as I have had many fantastic meals here However... On Wednesday it was unfortunately the last time we go. It had nothing to do with the wait, as the burgers are cooked from fresh and it's always worth the wait. The problem was the fact we got completely ripped off with the toppings. I paid for just one single thin slice of chorizo, it was rather embarrassing really. Same again with the bacon, we had one tiny piece of bacon each and then the halloumi was also a bit of joke too, it was shocking. Back in previous visits, the burgers were loaded with toppings but honestly, it was pathetic It's a shame because I had only last week organised the team in work to all go out for a meal there because i told them it's the best burger around Now I have to find somewhere else because I don't want them wasting money on what seemed like a child's portion of a burger."

"What have they done??? Ruined! They’ve tried to turn this wonderful street food restaurant into ‘fine dining’. Over 20 years we’ve been going to Bugis Street, Gloucester Road service was always attentive, portions sizes good, food authentic and tasty BUT NO MORE. The waiters and waitresses were struggling, was promised our drinks a few times but they took an age to arrive. The food took quite a while too. The menu has been drastically reduced and the price hiked up to an astronomical amount. The food was all wrong, the taste has gone the laksa had no flavour, was too creamy and the portion size halved, there was hardly any soup in my tiny bowl. The Chicken Rice the presentation was ridiculous the whole point of having the rice on the same plate as the chicken is that the juice soaks into the rice the rice was dry and had no flavour, the chicken was bland. So in summary huge price hike, smaller portions and tasteless food. However, you do get fancy table cloths, beautiful cutlery and crockery and comfy seats!!! Bring back the old chef and old menu keep to your roots Bugis Street. We definitely won’t be back until you do. Such shame. Gutted!"

"Bad service the whole way through. I can see that the restaurant has told other reviewers that they have checked their CCTV . I would love for you to check the CCTV and see what we saw! I am only posting this as your restaurant contacted OpenTable to state we were no shows. Unfortunately we did show. How did you miss us in a practically empty restaurant? We had to chase for water, napkins, plates, condiments etc. Took a napkin from the empty table next to us eventually. 5 mins later a femal staff member walked over and dumped about 10 napkins on our table and walked away. Aggressive much! The quickest part was getting the bill. My partner was served a cocktail that was approximately 1 sip and it was gone as the Martini glass resembled something from a doll 's house play set. Staff openly talking about us in ear shot huff, puff, what do they want , WHAT 'S WRONG yelled from the bar when we requested another drink from a waitress. Food... Garlic bread? Covered in rosemary, couldn 't find/see/taste garlic. Burger bun a brick, chips cooked on the outside not the middle and my chicken was so dry it peeled and was like string. Checked the review site before we went and saw 4.3 so thought this will be great. As meal became worse and worse we read the comments in the reviews. Filter anything from the last 4-6 months and it 's ALL bad. I am assuming I am too going to be called malicious as a previous review was and I see they had a real similar experience to us. No wonder it was practically empty at 9pm on a sat night. We won 't be going back. Refused to pay service which they after a fashion fianlly broken hearted it seemed accepted but we 're so disappointed. The venue looks beautiful, menu looks great and there were 2 staff members out if the team of 6 or so who we saw, who when they appeared were not particulary helpful but the whole experience was shocking. £80+ for 2 people, 2 mains a sharer starter, 4 drinks and 2 sides for what we got in hindsight unacceptable I should have argued for most of the food to be removed from the bill. Food and anbienc should be renamed Food and Ambulace. The manager sists there watching his CCTV and the owner is raking it in from unsuspecting guests and no doubt pays his staff a pittance so thats why they and the unqualified chef act like this .They need to learn manners. Imagine this lot on a cookery show each week as they would all be evicted on the first eviction date or Lord Sugar would fire the whole lot and ask for a new set of customers.Why are people so dishonest as its theft of you hard earned cash.Dispicable."

"There were two of us for dinner. We ordered a main and a starter as the two mains, and had specified this to the waiter. Then the starter came 10 minutes later by itself. I told the waiter and he went off to check and didn’t come back. I then had to resay it to the waiter who just went silent as they didn’t know what to do. I asked them to take it back and bring it with the main course I ordered as part of the overall meal. The starter was cold when it came with the main; I had expected a new starter would be done given the issue. The bill had then overcharged for an item. I won’t be revisiting this restaurant given the service was very poor from the three different 3 I dealt with"

"We made a reservation for 7:30pm and were unaware that the restaurant closed at 9pm until we arrived. Despite not feeling rushed, we did not leave until 9:30pm. It would have been helpful to have been informed of the closing time beforehand, as we were the only customers and felt pressured not to overstay our welcome. Additionally, we were disappointed to find that at least 2 cocktails were unavailable due to ingredients running out."

"GOOD FOOD TERRIBLE SERVICE I was looking for somewhere local to Wembley stadium. I had an overseas guest visiting who had tickets to a Wembley event. There were only 4 tables seated when we arrived. I had to ask could we order after 20 minutes of waiting. Whilst we were waiting for our starters another table (6 guests) were seated, orders taken and served. I chased our order. It took a total hour for our starters to arrive. Thankfully they were worth waiting for. Fresh crisp calamari, although unfortunately I was also given lemon mayonnaise despite advising I could not have any citrus. The cheesy garlic bread was also delicious. Very large portion, but you can imagine we were pretty hungry by this point. Meanwhile 2 other tables (2 guests and 10 guests) arrived and were served. I again chased our order. The table of 6 that arrived after us were served, had eaten and left before our main course arrived. The table of 2 and 10 also had their mains before us. By now were were running short of time and asked that our main course be brought as soon as possible, and not wait until we had finished our starters. That didn't happen. We had to ask again. The spaghetti bolognese was delicious, and would have been perfect with a sprinkling of parmesan, which we weren't offered. The lamb shank was not the best that I have had. The potatoes with which it was served were a little too watery, not the soft peaks that I was expecting. Although I had not been to Gusto before, the review online was positive, whilst warning about the slow service, which is why I allowed 2 hours. It took 2 1/2 hours, and that was with my questioning. It would have been far worse had I not done so. I can't imagine how bad it would be on a busy night. Perhaps that is why it was quiet on a Saturday night. When we went in I was impressed and hoped that I had found a new restaurant to regularly visit. Sadly it was my first and will be my last visit."

"I dined at this restaurant twice recently: once with my husband, and then again with a friend who I had mentioned it to. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. The fajitas were particularly tasty, and the white wine complemented the meal perfectly. I was initially unsure about the type of cuisine offered at this restaurant, but I'm glad I decided to give it a try as it has become one of my favorite places to dine. Coventry doesn't have many restaurants like this one, aside from chain establishments, so it is a welcomed addition to the dining scene. While I would love to see dishes like Tlayudas and tamales on the menu, what we did have was fantastic, colorful, and filling. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, and the interior is charming. I enjoyed sitting in the back garden on a sunny day, but the upstairs area is also cozy and colorful. Keep up the great work!"

"We were not looked after at all, we had to ask for everything (order to be taken, drinks, water, bill every step of the way… . They took our order and 15 minutes later came back to retake our order with the waiter confirming the order hadn’t been put through, we had children with us too which caused more stress to the experience. I went to the bar to ask for water and the waiter handed me a jug over the bar for me to take back to the table! Really disappointing considering we go to Bills quite often in Farnham and has put us off."

"Slightly disappointed with the service, the first waiter who tried to serve was so rude as kept interrupting when we had told we will inform once we are ready to order. The 2nd one took the order; after waiting for 20 mins after 1 starter was server, we asked about bhel, was told that he forgot to place the order for that. The bhel when it came was so disappointing, didnt deserve the price tag. Food has deteriorated vs the past, I used to be quite regular and Manjal was one of my favourites. Overall disappointed."

"My first visit to LayaLina was on Valentine's Day and it was surprisingly quiet with only two other couples present during the two hours we were there. The food was excellent, although we were limited to the Valentine's set menu. The waitress did allow me to order one item from the a la carte menu, but unfortunately one of the dessert options was not available. This was disappointing considering the restaurant's quiet atmosphere and the fact that it was a set menu. The Valentine's set menu was priced at £85 per person, whereas on any other day the same choices would have cost £60 per person. I found the markup to be excessive and unnecessary."
