"St. John's restaurant was possibly the worst restaurant meal I have ever had in England. And it was on the last night of my visit. I had hoped to have a good meal to celebrate my trip, but this ended my trip on a sour note. For dinner I ordered Potteed Shrimp, braised lamb shank and a class of Merlot. The potted shrimp consisted of tiny canned shrimp that looked as though they were cooked three days before and were in a greasy butter souplike fluid. They were disgusting. The lamb shanks also we're obviously cooked several days before, they were totally dried out and flavorless and served in a thick gravy that tasted instant and very salty. The shanks were served with mashed potatoes that were gluey. They tasted as though they may have been instant potatoes. And for some reason there were raw branches of Rosemary stuck in them. I barely ate any of the shrimp or the lamb, or the potatoes… And yet the server, who looked as though he was 18 years old, never asked if there was anything wrong. Even the class of wine was horrible. It tasted like it came from a bottle of €2 wine from the ASDA. The ambience was very 1960s… And not in a good way.I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone for any reason. The only positive remark I have to say is that I did not become ill after eating the food. The sad note is that after I left I walked passed what looked like a fabulous restaurant where I could have gone to actually have a great last night dinner."

"This is a hidden gem in London. I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights with my daughter and from my first breakfast I was greeted with a very warm welcome from Albino who knows the names of every single guest and always smiling and friendly with everyone. Asrar is another great team member who is making amazing coffee and so friendly as well. And their manager Cesar who is taking care of every single detail 24/7. I wish I got all the names of the staff as all of them deserve a big recognition. The breakfast buffet is very good and offers a nice variety . The dinner menu offers a delicious Italian selection. Simply this is a must try restaurant. Grazie squadra"

"I was pleasantly impressed with the interior, even though it was a mix of american dinner with the odd thai statue about it seemed to work and was comfortable. I ordered a couple of things that when they came out where not as the menu, the martini came with lemon not olives as described and the burgers came out with ciabatta rolls that tasted like they had not been heated, instead of foccacia as described. The food was quite nice, but why on a bamboo type tray? and the chips in a bowl, so you have no room to cut your food and the bamboo thing moves every time you try to slice something, and not as hygienic as a normal ceramic plate. Masterchef has a lot to answer for! All in all just ok, wouldn't rush back."

"I was looking to have something to eat whilst looking around Leeds about 9pm, when I unmistakenly got the whiff of a chip shop. Having visited Leeds quite a few times and stayed in Vicar Lane Travelodge a number of times, was unaware of a nearby fish shop. The smell led me to Nash,s. No customers in, so ordered fish, chips, curry sauce and cup of coffee.Bit of a wait, but presumed it was the cooking of my order of fish. Sat at a table and a tv with country music videos was playing on the wall. Supper came on crockery plate, with metal cutlery and a mug of coffee with seperate jug of milk and the curry sauce came in a seperate dish too. All hot, clean and no complaints about the meal whatsoever. Total price was £8.50. whilst having my meal some customers for a takeaway called in and a steady stream of orders seem to have gone out the door, maybe from justeat. Will call again. Really nice, thank you."

"Asked for window seat as it was empty told busy tonight so no window seats available. Fair enough. 2 customers walk not booked and given window seat???? Sea bass ordered, fish when arrived it was buried under olives and tomato sauce, laid on top of a pile of Mediterranean veg, Luke warm and reheated looked more like a chunky stew. Not impressed. Will not be returning. Husband had risotto, claggy and Luke warm. Waiting staff were good."

"This restaurant is not local to us, but well worth the travelling as it has never disappointed yet. Being a fan of balkan food, it is great to be able to find authentic dishes of this kind in London. The Cevapi is a 10/10, also the Sarma. There is a good wine selection that includes a very nice serbian red that goes down very well! Fulham Kitchen is definitely a place to put on your list for a visit!"

"The venue is very nice, good atmosphere. When I ordered I was told my food and drink would be brought over to me. After a while a waitress came over to ask if we wanted to order, I said we had already. So she went to check and the person who took the order had forgotten about our drinks, so she had to take our order again and bring the drinks over. She then asked if we'd ordered food and I said we had. My pulled pork burger arrived in a puddle of juices it must have been left to sit and expire for a while. The burger itself was not great. The chips however were very good. Although I had asked for vinegar which was not brought over, so I went to get it myself. My husband's fish and chips were OK, the tartar sauce being the highlight. He also got the baked Camembert to start which was not good either. Overall, I would not bother eating again here. The only reason we did (after I'd read the over so so reviews) was because we were doing the tour and had no other option but to eat there. The beer is fantastic, so I would return for that but as for food I'd go for the bags of crisps instead."

"Food is lovely and generous portions. Highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding. It’s a lovely place to sit with a lovely garden where we sat afterwards for a coffee. Really pleasant feel. The service is a little slap dash and aggressive. Asking to pass plates across and leaning over guesses is not on, when they should be going round the table to clear, the waitress even asked us to take our glasses off her fingers. no one checked back our meals were ok. And the waitresses constantly walked off while we were ordering drinks or asking questions. But ignoring these minor points we had a wonderful time and will definitely be recommending and returning to the farmers boy."

"Good atmosphere and food. We went for mothers day lunch. I expected more of the thai curry personally it was a little bit bland for my taste but my lemon tart was very sweet but good everyone else's food was also quite good and the cocktails were very good. Would definitely go back."

"I love it when a good new restaurant opens in west london. Although there are some great places, we are not so saturated with good restaurants like soho or further east. And if the new restaurant (although it is not as new as I write a little slow with my) is from one of my favourites, then it is even better. theo randall’s latest venture is theo’s simple italian, a casual restaurant in the boutique hotel, hotel indigo, which is a few minutes to foot from earl’s court tube station. the restaurant is relaxed, but chic, and has a delicate that sells all the products that are used in their kitchens, plus homemade pastries on the morning and cakes, sausages and cheese on the afternoon, so they can go home and (try to) the delicious dinner that she had 've there. theo 's new book 'my simple italian' could also help! eating in theo 's simple italian focuses on the use of seasonal ingredients to create dishes that are lively and full of taste. everything is simply boiled, there are no Zwiddly bits or buffalo of foam just good, tasty teller of eating that they want back forever. there is a nice selection of Italian weeping and many different crafts bee with as much or as little eating as they enjoy. the menu is divided into sections of the plate size so that they can dip for a quick snack, or go out all and try them a bit of everything we did! we started small (cicchetti) then our way through the largest part of the rest of the menu. cicchetti plates we tried contain the totally addictive polnta chips with injuring dressing; calf meat and pork; kalamari fritti; and olive oil focaccia, which is ridiculously good, and naturally made before ort."

"This wine shop features a small kitchen/restaurant that typically offers vegetarian options on its regular menu. The daily specials usually include dishes like meat lasagna and bratwurst (which were available when we left). We found it difficult to get the attention of the waitstaff, despite there being three of them on duty. The portion sizes were quite small, especially the spinach and ricotta ravioli, but the food itself was delicious. I wouldn’t recommend visiting on busy days, as it seems to impact the quality of service. On a positive note, the wine selection is impressive, featuring choices from around the world; however, the corkage fee is quite steep at £35, while a bottle purchased at the shop costs £62 to enjoy in the restaurant. That said, the wine was of very high quality and was decanted to avoid sediment."

"I booked a table at Obia through Opentable for last Sunday even got a reminder the day before. Got to the restaurant to find it was closed no explanation or a phone call to let me know they had a problem. To say I was angry would be an understatement especially as this was meant to be a birthday celebration and my friends had traveled down from far. This experience has put me off going to this restaurant as the customer service is appalling."
