"This drink varies Day to Day. On this occasion it tastes no more than soda water, even after stirring. This venue is normally very good, but this today has really let them down. Hopefully this was just a one off."

"I've been searching for freak shakes in Aberdeen and found this small but cute cafe!! Because it was so small there weren't any seats left for us and so we had to take away. The staff were super nice and friendly. They said they could give our freak shakes in take away cups and will make sure it's instaworthy. Lovely people! I couldn't imagine how it would look like as a take away. I was blown away by how cute they were! They were a masterpiece. Not only did they look good, they taste amazing! We ordered the matcha honey, aero mint, and choco fudge. We also ordered a kinder hot chocolate. All were amazing! Of course they were super sweet but that's what you'd expect from ordering a freak shake. Will definitely go back. Hopefully there will be seats and this time, I'll have it in a mug!"

"Amazing little place I stumbled across when I was in London this weekend when my niece wanted pasta. The most authentic Italian food, that was delicious and a lovely server with amazing service. Would definitely recommend reserving a table first because it was very busy and lucky to get in ourselves. Even when super busy and was informed, the food came out still at the perfect times. Will definitely try and go again if I'm in London again"

"had an extremely disappointing visit recently. me and my partner used to love this place! the food is great and the atmosphere is wonderful. however, our server completely ignored my partner when trying to order. they took my order then walked off, completely disregarding my partner. i had to awkwardly call them back over to finish ordering. they then proceeded to not put my partners order in, leaving my partner without food. i had to ask where the dish went then they rudely responded oh . we then had to wait a ridiculous amount of time for my partners food. we were in the restaurant for nearly 2 hours. wish we could have been compensated for our time as the staff offered no apology for this awful experience. its truly a shame as the food here is very tasty but i will not be returning after this."

"My children were devastated when the waitress forgot their desserts completely. We had ordered pancakes just before 5pm, their deadline, and I ended up ordering a coffee and a small dessert while we waited. Both came quickly, but we still waited for the kids' desserts. After half an hour passed, I asked for help and was told that nothing had been put through for my children. It was obvious that they were waiting, and I was truly shocked and disappointed. This experience really soured our visit. The manager's only concern seemed to be swapping out the deal so we paid for the kids' meals but received free pancakes. This was frustrating, especially since my 3-year-old was upset and I was trying to comfort her while being interrupted repeatedly and having menus pushed in my face. I don't think we will be returning to this restaurant in the future."

"The meals were acceptable but nothing extraordinary and definitely not worth the price. This restaurant charges separately for vegetables and doesn't provide extras like bread or items such as olives and balsamic olive oil without an additional cost. We also ordered dessert, all of which were ice creams. After waiting 20 minutes, we decided to cancel the dessert, not wanting to waste any more time. Oddly enough, the desserts then arrived, but the ice cream scoops were melting. To be fair, they did remove the dessert charges from the bill, but this experience has turned us off from this particular Ivy branch. I should mention that the vegetables consisted of untrimmed green beans and lukewarm broccoli. Overall, the entire meal took just under three hours. Despite there being plenty of waiting staff, it seemed like the kitchen struggled with mixing up or delaying orders, even at our table. I was not impressed."

"We had booked a table for 7.30 pm dinner and after waiting in line we’re shown to a table. The table next to us was very very loud and discussing business on a Saturday night. We could not hear each other above their din. After 30 minutes a waiter came to take our order and we asked for a quieter table. We were told to walk outside to the terrace. Essentially this is an area in the thoroughfare of the hotel (inside) behind a wooden low fence. After another 20 minutes I went to find a waiter who said he would come out to take our order. After another 10 minutes I went and found another server. The waiter I had seen before recognised me and hit his hand on his head and came out to us. The starter was delicious but we had to chase up the bottle of wine and never got our glasses of water. When the main course was delivered by a lady she said “Bon appetit” but we said we couldn’t eat without cutlery. She promised us some but we never saw her again. After 5 minutes my husband went and found cutlery because his fish and chips were getting cold. My shepherds pie was tasteless, lots of potato and a thin layer of lamb in a watery tasteless gravy. Nobody ever came back to check on us. They add a discretionary 12.5% tip for a service charge which I didn’t think they deserved so we took the bill to the desk and told the manager of our experience. He blames the management for trying to reduce staff and told us it was our own fault because we voted for Brexit. I pointed out to him I didn’t. He said it is like that every night. He removed the service charge and 20% off the food which was fair but next time I stay at the Sofitel I will bring a picnic and save a pot of money and disappointment."

"Lovely range of good quality homemade food. Great butternut squash and carrot soup And toffee pudding was worth every calorie . Very attentive serving staff. Room was well spread out for Covid until a party of 10 arrived and all sat together. Very hard for staff to split them and adhere to rules. This made me feel quite uncomfortable. As we were just leaving it was fine. However overall we all had a delicious fresh meal and we will be back for sure Even got 30% off due to a promotion !"

"the limited vegan options at Pinkman’s are indisputably delicious. I had the avocado on toast and it was so delicious; with a sweet chili sauce it was amazing. the brot was so fresh and the avocado smash was so unusual, but delicious. I also had the vegan chocolate dripping cake, which was a decent vegan cake option. so much I have the items I have tried here, they have very limited vegan options. they have in the rule only 2 cake options and the avocado next to another dish is the only vegan option also. your menu, as I know, never changes; so I do not visit this place often because it can get boring. I would still recommend if they were looking for a decent brunch in bristol. also the vibes of the bakery are great."

"No customer service skills whatsoever. Had 2 Taco lunches which were ok. After we finished my friend ordered a second coffee. The waitress (who was more interested in looking at her phone for most of the time we were there) spilled a cup of coffee over my friend legs as she was putting it down in to the table. She apologised, brought a large toll of blue paper to the table and then left us to clear up the mess!! She made and delivered a new cup of coffee but there was no concern for my friend whose trousers and socks were soaking wet as the coffee had run down into her boots. After a while when they were not forthcoming, I suggested that she should receive the coffee as a complimentary one. They looked at me as if I had two heads. “ you want your money back?” I said it was the least they could do and they get her her £2.50 back. To top it all we overheard the waitress talking about us to a member of the kitchen staff whilst sitting behind us. The staff need some customer service training. Not very Optimistic that we’ll be going back."

"This was our first visit. I have to remind myself that this is a training environment for students but there should be someone in charge, who is identifiable to direct the students on how to present a menu and how to place a dish in front of customers. However, four courses for £35, amuse bouche counted for one course. Amouse bouche lacked any seasoning, orzo starter, well cooked but again lacked seasoning. My wife had fish, Coley, which was nice. I had chicken breast on a bed of curry sauce with hassleback potatoes. My whole dish was luke warm at best, the curry sauce was overpowering, and the hassleback potatoes were not crispy. The chicken was lovely and moist and I ordered a side of triple cooked chips which were super hot, expensive at £4, I only wish the rest of my dish was that hot. I had cheese and biscuits which consisted of Brie, blue cheese and cheddar together with chutney. My wife had Pain Perdue which was well presented and tasty. The restaurant is more like a cafe, not cosy, so don't choose it if you want a romantic evening. Overall would I go again? probably not. If you are ever near the Lake district try to book a table in the restaurant at Kendal College. On a final note; there is parking on an evening next to the college. Drive up to the barrier and press the call button, security will let you in. The barrier opens automatically on exit."

"Thank you for the hospitality that I received when visiting your Media City restaurant last Friday for a pre-theatre meal. Food and Menu There is a simple menu that includes all the Italian and American classics that people love to eat. The choices are limited however it does cater for a range of diners from the Meat lover to the Vegetarian. In the Starters there is a Garlic Pizza Bread that is tasty with a great Garlic aroma. There is also American Style Nachos with Jalapeños and all the sauces to dip into. In addition, there is Calamari, Ribs and the Chicken Crunch too. In the Mains there is a great selection of Pizzas with good flavours. There are also additional toppings that you can add on for an extra charge. There is also a decent variety of Steak, Pasta, and Salad dishes for those that fancy them too. For the Burger fan there are some Beef Burgers and a Chicken Fillet one too. There is also a wide variety of sides that are a great addition to your meal from Chips, Sweet Potato Fries to Onion Rings and Garlic Bread too. For those with a sweet tooth then there is a selection of popular Desserts including the Warm Chocolate Brownie, Cheesecake and, Tiramisu that is creamy and indulgent to eat. If you like cold Desserts then there is Ice Cream and the Knicker Bocker Glory. For the Starters the Garlic Pizza Bread was tasty and moorish. It was soft in the middle with a bite on the edges. It was yummy. The Calamari was pleasant to eat but could have been cooked more as it was slightly rubbery to eat. For the Mains the Chicken Fillet Burger was perfectly cooked and it was beautifully presented. It was tasty and heart-warming to eat. The Salad and the Mayonnaise added more flavour. The Sweet Potato Fries were comforting to eat. They were crispy on the outside with soft fluffy Potato on the inside. I love how they are presented in a small pan dish. Cute. The Onion Rings were scrumptious. Their crispy batter was great on the outside with soft Onion pieces inside. It was a heart pleaser. For Dessert the Chocolate Brownie and Ice Cream was heavenly to eat. The Brownie was cooked superbly. It was not hard to eat but it was runny with gooey and indulgent Chocolate. Yum. The Ice Cream was great too as it cut through the richness of the Chocolate adding texture. It was also stunning in presentation in which the Chocolate Brownie is in the middle of the plate with a lovely scoop of Ice Cream on top. Drinks They have a good selection of soft drinks which include all the popular ones to have. There is also a small variety of juices on offer too. However they do not serve non-alcoholic Mocktails. Service The service was good. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and accommodating. She gave us the time to choose our dishes. Her suggestions for food were spot on. It was good that the food came out pretty quickly and it was beautifully presented. Lighting and Access The lighting at this restaurant was pretty bright which allows for an enjoyable meal for most people including those with visual impairments. Entry to this restaurant is at the Holiday Inn Hotel to which there is a small step to enter into the building. Once inside there are stairs and lifts to get to the Mezzazine floor. This is where you will find the restaurant. There are no stairs inside as it is on one level. Furniture The furniture here is brilliant. I love the big tables which are spacious. The chairs are big and are comfortable to sit on. This gives a relaxed ambiance so that you can dine in style. Parking Parking is available at the Quayside Media City UK multi-storey car park (formerly The Lowry). If you are a Blue Badge holder then you will get 4 free hours when stamping your ticket. This takes effect from the time of arrival. Alternatively you can park at the Media City multi-storey which is closer to the venue. Pricing The pricing of the dishes at this restaurant are mid- range. However it is worth visiting once a while especially if the waiters are good, the food is tasty and that it is beautifully presented. If you love to eat Italian and American food within a relaxed atmosphere then head down to your local Marco’s."

"So I recently visited FireJacks and it was a Monday night. It wasn’t very busy but it was the place we wanted to go to. Now it might also be the first place I’ve ever been where the food took less time than the drinks, and the drinks came in a very appropriate time. This did make me wonder as to how a K Jacket could be produced in under 5 minutes and therefore the freshness of the food is very debatable. The k jacker was a nice chicken burger however with a cold dry bun it let itself down. I also got cheesy fries which again were nice but knowing how cheap chips are to produce a few more would have been nice. Sadly firejacks didn’t light up our evening."

"Bland food and very overpriced, ribs ok, squid was flubbery but fresh, the tacos with salmon mix and mayo were grim only eatable after adding chilli sauce too, and two for 11 quid was a joke. Sake OK and had a beer. , 65 quid for one, is not good, won't return. If you think One bottle 70cl of Sake for 18 x 4 is fair! Come on 72 quid... , indicative of food price... ! I went to you twice, as I was hungry..., re. the Chinese next door they may have been ok, but after finishing one pint and there not being internet, I asked them for your password, I needed to go. I also asked if they had started to cook my food at which point they said no. I paid them for beer and said, I would return. The fact, there did not seem to be much cooking going on was a red flag to me and I did not have time. Your concept is ok, but a bit of drift wood in comparison to London and it's my fault to draw comparisons, and I did give it a second chance but simply put it's not very good. Seems you have a bee in your bonnet, re. Chinese food and cutting and pasting recurring theme, Only just started reviewing items. Please don't make comparison between a Chinese directly next to your abode that may be ok, and fact you are trying the London street food tribe here in Blackpool, which I wish you luck with, but having seen it and spending money with you on separate occasions please have the grace to say thank you and good bye. Else to many perhaps you may look a bit tribal and bitter. Good luck."

"The food here is wonderful. Well cooked food with great flavours. The ambience is perfect and the smell of amazing food hits you when you walk through the door. The service was brilliant. Very friendly but not overly so with very prompt service. I had the peri-peri wings to start and they are lovely. Good sized wings and just spicy enough. I had a king prawn main which was also delicious. My friend had the mutton curry which was incredible and I have since had as a take away from them. Huge chunks of tender meat with no gristle with a thick sauce. My new favourite food to order in and one of the best curries I have had. The rice and peas were cooked perfectly. The dumplings are amazing, they are so like donuts as to feel like a real treat! I would recommend Bishops and will definitely go again, and hopefully often."

"I have been visiting Doughnotts since it first opened in the other location. It was fantastic then, and it has only gotten better. I have also bought donuts from the stand in Beeston and several Vegan Markets. Additionally, this year, I got a giant donut...and a donut decorating kit for my birthday cake/birthday party. My favourite is the Homer Donuts, followed by the Cute Avocado with the tiny doughnut as the stone, and the Jammy Dodger ones. The vegan selection is vast and incredibly impressive I actually can't taste the difference at all between the Vegan and Non-Vegan ones. Don't think I have tried one that I don't like. They also do doughnuts for dogs (dog treats not made of pastry) which mine really enjoy, and they serve degrees coffee (which is amazing). The staff are friendly, and although I can get very nervous ordering, they have always been very patient, and helpful."

"Had a nice business meeting, fantastic food, and good service as well. Had Campari for drinks, and and Bruschetta, Olives, Mushroom Crostini, for starters, and Veg Pesto Pasta for main meal, and Espresso Coffee to finish of a great lunch. Rest of our table ordered Gamberi pasta, and Pollo Funghi pasta and by mistake they gave one with ham by mistake, when pointed they’ve promptly changed with no qualms by one Alana, good on you, and people managing the place. Compliments to the chef. Ate at the same chain restaurant on last Saturday with family at Bluewater shopping Center and enjoyed a great Vegetarian pizza, and various other things. One of the best Italian chain restaurants, this is from someone who spent a year who travelled to Italy for work every other week and enjoyed real Italian grub in Milan and Florence. Keep it up."

"they are no longer open on the afternoon. darren was friendly enough to offer me a take-off, but only accepted cash and no card or bank transfer. He led me to an ATM at the BP station they didn't have. I had to run over 3 km around kwik save to the next cash machine. this delay caused the eating I had ordered to be so bad. I ordered the bada boom gluten-free and the chocolate caked (has gluten). it took a lot to walk to get here, the nearest bus stop is 1.5 km away and a slightly inclined road. I couldn't enjoy sitting outside. it also found carb overload full of kartoffel chips and a hash brown. the grinding time is very dry, since no sauces were provided. the donut looks and has the texture of a donuts, but did not taste like one and had a fake eating taste on it. the patty is also gluten-free, which is good to adapt to most meals in order to be gluten-free. updated by previous review on 2021-10-07"
