"Went to Steak on stones with pals tonight to take on the 22 quid for 3 course menu they've ran in January. Starter was soup of the day (Cauliflower) then Sirloin with chips and choice of sauce (peppercorn) and then donut and dipping sauce to finish. There was not even a glimmer of hope to switch the soup for a real' starter. I always find soup a waste of a first course...the only other option was a piece of bread for 1.50. Eh?! Steak was good, chups good, sauce...cold. donuts were quite tough and the jam was the saviour. Chocolate dipper was like burnt chocolate. Cocktails weren't up to much either. Service wasn't great and overall not overly impressed. Would rather stay home and cook my...read more"

"they have the feeling that they have time and time that they earn their time and money when they are bathing service that they can do this. the first time today and omg the waitress was so racist and also she is so rude. what do they recommend? she likes that I don't know. All I asked her doesn't know her. she even brings me the dry **** tails and no sharp ones. I asked her why it's so dry that she looked at me like she's killing me with eyes. what's going on? this place looks good from outside, but inside? nearhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't think there's any manager or supervisor they can complain about. the same eat they find in other Chinese or Asian shops for cheaper. also I have eaten Nepalese food for age groups, but in this restaurant you will not find a taste of Nepalese cuisine and everything you can find is a normal Indian or Chinese mix as they eat in an Indian restaurant. they have an indian restaurant where they can freeze and food plus yummy not like this saturation. the idner of this restaurant needs to destroy someone who is beneficial and more careful. not a racist and unprofessional corporate law."

"My boyfriend and I popped in last night (a Saturday for the first time, we didn’t have a reservation but were warmly greeted and immediately seated at a nice table. The restaurant has lovely homey decor and we both instantly felt comfortable there. There was a lady and a gentleman working who were friendly, professional and had a lovely manner which felt un rushed in the best way, i.e they give you plenty of time to look at the menu (which has a surprisingly large amount of choice! without feeling pressured into panic ordering which is what normally happens for me at other restaurants We ordered the Thai platter for 2 to share to start, then the beef massaman curry, the red duck curry and a sticky rice to share for mains along with a Singha and a glass of Sauvignon it was lovely to see the wines were from Tanners too, a good quality Shrewsbury wine merchant. The starter platter came with barely a wait and was absolutely delicious, chicken skewers with a satay dipping sauce, fish cakes with a sweet chilli dipping sauce, some prawn toast (which was extra specially delicious! , spring rolls and chicken wings. Thoroughly recommended, and I especially enjoyed the little pot of grapes and sliced apple that was a really nice touch! The mains came at the perfect time and were presented on top of a pot with a tealight in to keep the food warm as we ate which is thoughtful, they were both tasty mains and we ate every last bite. Perfect portion sizes too as we left feeling full without being too stuffed. Our bill came to £50 which for two really great courses as well as alcoholic drinks is very reasonable indeed. I’d happily pop back here any time and would recommend it for anyone who likes Thai food"

"My husband and I have stayed at Dukes for many years. It’s in the perfect spot, right on the sea front and we always treat ourselves to a room with a view! The food and service has always been good until our most recent visit in February. We booked a table on our first night for our anniversary and the second night we ate in the Conservatory. The first night was fab, good food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. However, on the second night we were left extremely disappointed. We’d checked with a member of staff what was the latest time to order food and were told 8:30pm. This gave us time to have a drink in the bar beforehand and unwind. At 8:00pm a different member of staff approached us for our food order. When we asked if we could wait until 8:30pm he was very disgruntled and rude. He wanted to know there and then if we were having starters and dessert. As we hadn’t even looked at a menu yet how were we supposed to know what we fancied and how full we’d be? So, declined a starter and dessert and literally went with the mains missed a sale there! Food was lovely as always but just as we finished eating the same guy came over and told us the bar was closing. This was approx 10:00pm. No one informed us that it was a reduced service, that they were closing early and that you won’t be able to relax and enjoy your evening because they all want to go home. The room rate doesn’t change throughout the year so why should the service. We were left feeling that we were nothing but an inconvenience and that our business wasn’t important. I would have thought given the current climate and the effect it’s having especially on hospitality that there would have been a bit more interest in your customer experience. Such a shame Dukes Team very disappointing experience."

"I have just been to the Dog House Kitchen for the first time and I cannot rave about it enough. The hospitality is second to none with every detail thought of and a constant top up of wine! Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. I am gluten free and loved that for once my food was the same quality as everyone else’s. The food was beautifully cooked, generous portions, with wonderful flavours put together. The setting is really pretty, and the hosts have managed to create a warm and homely atmosphere. The place is perfect for a special occasion or private function. I will definitely be going back. What a wonderful find!"

"this place was so disappointing. great looking menu, but bad quality, lazily-made food to freky preisen. the broth for the soups was clear stick cubes, with this artificial, oversalted taste. if they want to have a pho restaurant, they should at least disturb to make their own act. we were a big group and tried such a series of foods, each of which was tasteless. the ping of the microwave from the kitchen was a bell of short cuts in the kitchen. the early rolls were lump grated carrots in the wound baked, without the light aromas should they have - no single, no idea of flavor or taste. the same applies both to bark and vegetarian pho and to fried rice. I would have felt a short change at half the price, but at over a tens per court it was laughing. we'll never be back, they'll stay away and save money and disappointment."

"I got takeout from Fat Panda tonight and it was incredibly disappointing. The Egg Fried Rice had no egg, the Sze Chuan Chicken was greasy, and the salt and pepper spare ribs were unappetizing. Save yourself the trouble and choose a different restaurant. It would have been a better decision to simply throw £45 down the drain."

"we are great cooks and never go in the rule for a roast, as there is always such a disappointment in comparison to homemade, but my goodness, that is an exception!...and not washing! we were very impressed. I had fryed, my partner had the fag. The...beef came with a triumphant of a yorkshire puddings and the pork with cracking. the brat potatoes were crispy and golden on the outside and fluffy in the middle, the carrot and wild boar was perfectly seasoned, roasted carrot and papasnip perfectly cooked and tasty caramelized. they get a generous amount of accompanying veg that is great for us. delicious shredded spring green, courgette and cauliflower and broccoli cheese. Once again, I must highlight the cauliflower and the broccoli cheese, as it was fabulously frescoy and was well spiced with this beautiful piece browned cheese on the top! you can say that the cook is cooked with passion and can be proud of it. the personal is fantastic. so welcoming, friendly and simple in general fun to be insubstantial. you feel the love. the only feedback that I could possibly give is that we like more salted cracks and pink bark, but that is personal preference, no criticism. we can't wait to go back!"

"We are big fans of Thai cuisine we have been in Thailand numerous times, and experienced the real authentic Thai food. Despite reading a few poor reviews, we wanted to go and experience this place ourselves. We ordered Massaman Lamb curry and Vegetable Penang curry coconut rice. We asked for jasmine tea, but got Chinese green tea, that was incredibly weak (and arrived without the leaves/or perhaps tea bags already removed). Then arrived two bowls of rice the bowls were incredibly hot just like taken from the microwave, and the flavour didn’t have a coconut flavour at all. Rice was followed by Vegetable Penang curry (see picture), which was quite all right. Then we have been told that our Lamb Massaman curry has been made with chicken. So we politely said we will wait for the lamb one. This dish arrived within 5 minutes, and it was truly horrible the presentation, as well as the taste. The meat was tough and absolutely tasteless. It was far from the taste of Massaman curry. Just 5 days prior to this experience we visited our favourite award winning restaurant Yum yum in Stoke Newington (London) and had the Massaman curry over there. Perfectly presented, delicious and cooked to precision, and cheaper than the tasteless dish at Fluffy Rice. Overall Fluffy Rice is a disappointment we have been recommended this place for it’s authenticity, but this is far from it. At the end it’s important to note, that you can’t pay by card. You are presented with an option to pay by cash or Paypal transfer. Which is a bit ridiculous. Overpriced, low quality food, far from authentic Thai, and not worth it at all."

"Amazing and delicious food, served in a unique and cosy environment with a great host. We all tried a mixed starter (chefs platter) which everyone seemed to enjoy and was really varied. The mains were equally brilliant, but make sure you read the menu properly (hot really does mean hot). The presentation of all of the food was equally impressive. All in all, a great night. Would highly recommend, we will definitely be going back. (party of seven, all adults, preordered food, waited less than 5 min per course, all food can be seen being cooked fresh, great value)"
"This is an absolutely awesome Thai restaurant that you should try when you are in this area. In fact I actually made a trip to try one of the best Thai food I could find! We asked for extra spicy for the dishes and the dishes did indeed were spicy and flavourful! Loving this to the max! Would recommend people to come."

"it is now only three years ago (I think), since the historical year old chelsea pub, the cross keys closed its doors. there was a huge petition in the opposite to keep this pub at life, as local developers some great ideas for the website (usually natural). a little more than a year later, everything went quite calmly – until the “professional” squatter had taken the place to be later condemned by the judicial order. then in the januar were spread by its millions of sale and refurbishment plans. as chelsea native I could not have been happier."

"I went for lunch at the restaurant on recommendation from one of our group who is Chinese. As two of us are learning Chinese, we wanted to have a taste of authentic Chinese food and also attempt to speak some Mandarin.... The manager was very patient with us : Despite past experiences of a few Chinese takeaways and mediocre Chinese buffets in Leicester, I went with an open mind. The restaurant looks so unassuming from the outside and if you live in the city, you may have as I have passed it several times totally unaware of it 's brilliance. In the restaurant most no, all bar two of us dining there were Chinese, many of whom were students. Do not let that put you off! It was certainly a positive thing as the food was so good. We didn 't feel out of place at all and had good service. The interior is small, maybe 9 or so tables but it didn 't feel cramped even though tables are quite close. The menu has both Chinese and English descriptions so do not fear! Make a note of the numbers beside each dish so you can remember you favourite dishes for next time. It was overwhelming to see so many dishes on the menu and we struggled to decide what to choose as we wanted much more than we could eat! There were some unusual options like frog and offal but hey, it 's good to be open minded and appreciate other cultures. Once we (finally! chose our food, it came out in about 10 or so minutes! Some dishes we had included: *Sliced lamb with green spring onion in a sauce (super succulent and tasty! *Shanghai style pork cutlets (think German schnitzel/Japanese tonkatsu. Basically breaded pork chops cut into strips. This was a ma zing. Crispy, not at all greasy and the sweet dipping sauce?! So so good! *couple of small bowls rice one veg and one mixed meat and seafood one with the juiciest prawns. We shared the food between us. They will give cutlery but have a go at the chopsticks first! I am no expert but we all insisted on trying and it was great fun even though rice was a bit tricky to handle! Tips: *If you ask for water it will be tap water at room temperature so remember to ask for ice if you want it. *rice goes un the small bowl and if you choose plain rice it is refillable! Think of it as a bottomless bowl (ask the staff which one on it is on the menu *scan the QR code on the menu for any discounts available via the WeChat app *don 't get caught out, take enough cash or it 's a trek to the nearest ATM! *be adventurous and try something different on the menu beyond chow mein and special fried rice. *share your dishes with friends it makes it so much more fun *take a copy of the FULL list menu from the counter, not just the short list of British favourites you will be coming back or ordering takeaway from here."

"One of my favourite places to go to it used to be owned by Heston Bluemental but recently taken over by another partner completely that he did business with. No big changes but the menus have changed and there are some new items and desserts. I was there for the Christmas holiday offerings and opted for the yummy prawn cocktail the accompanying bread and butter was so good! My main course was Windsor Estate partridge, a small bird that doesn’t taste “gamely” at all, in fact it tastes a little like chicken and this was cooked to perfection and wrapped in bacon with the most delicious roast potatoes! To finish, I opted for the mince pie and coffee, with a small piece of the homemade macadamia nut brittle. Overall the food was yummy and Molly, our waitress was absolutely wonderful and made us feel welcome and appreciated the perfect mix of service and personality! I would recommend they look for a new coffee offering, it was nice but not strong enough for me but overall, I would always give this venue a 10/10 for everything."

"LOVE Damescena. All vegan options are clearly marked and there's such a big selection from all parts of the menu. Fresh falafel and meze is unbeatable but they also have many other savoury meals plus several vegan cakes and even vegan baklava! They also have 3 or 4 different plant milks for hot drinks. Recommend to anyone in the city centre, there are other branches too, elsewhere in the city."

"I had high hopes for this restaurant based on the reviews but Unfortunately I can’t say I very much enjoyed my first and potentially last trip to Sabroso. Firstly let me say that we got the food as a takeaway. Now, I’m not a big fan of writing bad reviews. I would rather write a review praising the establishment to allow others to try as we have. However, we were mislead by the reviews and feel that maybe we caught them on a bad day. Nevertheless we had a bad experience. We started with some soft chicken tacos which *spoiler alert* were the best thing that we tried. The flavour was great. The meat quantity was perfect. A great little starter if you’re willing to share. I was getting really excited at this point. However, it’s a slow decline from here. The fried jalapeños were not great. Felt and tasted manufactured if I’m quite honest and with the chilli dip to go with it, which was most certainly ‘crucials extra hot chilli sauce’ that you get in most takeaways these days, I was feeling slightly let down. You would think a Mexican/ tex mex restaurant would at least make a good chilli sauce. For the main, I had a Beef Chilli burrito, which I asked to be made a little spicier, and it Was flavourless. Mainly tasted like cheese and was packed with rice, which I understand that’s what a burrito should be But there was barely any meat/ chilli. I was thinking if my chicken tacos were that tasty I can’t wait for the burrito but it was bland. No flavour to the Mexican rice and there wasn’t any spice to be found. I was very disappointed to say the least. The missus had chicken enchiladas and had this to say: large portion with a substantial amount of chicken but could only really taste tomatoes. Too saucy and rather flavourless. The onion rings and sweet potato fries tasted like they came from a packet. Overall a solid 2 out of 5. I had high hopes from the reviews but it really wasn’t much to shout about. Nothing really Mexican in sight except the tacos. Do not let our review stop you from trying the food for yourselves and maybe you’ll have a better experience If you eat in the restaurant rather than a takeaway. Enjoy yourselves. Nick and Becky."

"It is always difficult to find Thai restaurants in England that haven’t had the food overly ‘westernised’ ie. made too sweet and generally had the distinct flavours softened for the apparently fragile western palate. For those who want to experience genuine Thai cuisine this is bad news. Saying that, I enjoyed my meal here at the Pusanon Thai restaurant in Crowborough. The ambience is pretty standard but perfectly fine. We visited during a mid-week lunchtime so was not busy and the lady serving was pleasant and efficient. The classic Prik Nam Pla dipping sauce was the genuine article which is always an encouraging sign. The 2 course £10.50 set lunchtime menu seems very good value for nowadays. We did order a couple of extra dishes from the a la carte menu though and in my greedy opinion they were needed(we were a party of 3). It has a reasonable choice of some of the most popular dishes. Though it suffers from the point I make at the beginning of this review it is better than many I have experienced and the ingredients were fresh. I wouldn’t make a special journey to do so but I would happily eat here again."

"The Rose and Crown in Chorleywood (note the location on the common, not the pub of the same name on the Harefield side of Rickmansworth) has long been known for excellent food, a good selection of beer, and the hospitality of the landlord and landlady. After lockdown it opened again for drinks, operating under careful but pragmatic restrictions. The restaurant at the back of the pub has been converted into a drinks area (as it used to be many years ago). Food has not been available until last week and the return is a triumph. Gone are the excellent steaks, pies, fish etc. to be replaced by a thoughtful tapas menu. We have eaten there twice since the resumption, both occasions proving excellent. Highlights included salmon ceviche (very fresh and tangy), sweet and sour spare ribs, a delightful lamb rump with a garlic dipping sauce, and octopus. Also added to the full menu is the traditional backed camembert (with the addition of roast garlic and an onion chutney, sweet potatoes fries, and pork belly. All the dishes are tasty, filling and innovative. There is also a small selection of afters, but so far I have not ventured there. We were told that the sticky toffee pudding is superb. Another advantage is that the food is a good excuse to explore Jeff’s wine list. We had an excellent Portuguese red blend. Capacity is down during the Covid-madness, so booking as advised. This will become more of an issue as word of the food gets out and the weather turns less favourable (there is some outdoor seating). One traditional touch is that punters are trusted to add a tip as they see fit, not be subjected to the ‘discretionary but dare to complain’ service charge seen in other local establishments (see my other recent review). The staff are diligent in cleaning the tables between guests and all the regulations seem to be followed. Great to have this favourite back."

"The food was fantastic, as usual. However, what stood out the most was the warm welcome we received from our server, Kiana, when we walked in. She was genuinely kind and attentive throughout our evening, ensuring we had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Wagamama to anyone who enjoys flavorful cuisine. I visited on a weekday, so there was no wait at all, but be cautious—on weekends, you can typically expect a wait of 20 to 40 minutes. Overall, I would definitely return, as it's one of the best restaurants in Stevenage."

"I visited this restaurant yesterday with my family and was very impressed by him. it had a pub section next to the restaurant section. the restaurant area had crooked coasters and essmatten, which had a really nice note. the wood interior. for the appetizers almost all had the freche garlic bread. this was absolutely amazing and came with a side of cheese dipping sauce that was incredible (a must have for cheese lovers.) for my main I had served the festive burger (turkeyburger, filling burger, mozzarella and cranberry sauce with 2 pigs in crumbs and halloumi fries,) the very full and of good quality. everyone had clear tellers, except those who could not finish their meal due to the amount. for dessert we had two blondes (white chocolate breweries) who came with a selection of cream, ice or custard (a lot to my joy). we both enjoyed and recommend them. Moreover, the staff were all beautiful and pleasant and made the place very secret. I would recommend coming here."
