Hoi Polloi

"Hoi Polloi is a cool retro/hipster place to eat with 70's retro design. So if your criteria for a good restaurant is a modern/updated flashing design, Hoi Polloi is not the place for you. We came for dinner and we were left with a big smile on our faces. The selection on the menu is nice, though it's definitely not one of these menus that take you hours to read, leaving you confused with endless options, and still there's enough selection for everyone. The food was great, nice portions, well made. Hospitality was great and the staff was handy in recommending drinks. We really enjoyed our dinner. Thanks for the experience."

"My friend and I had the Oysters, sadly later that evening we were both extremely sick. I was disappointed that the skin on my duck wasn't crispy either for the money you pay, I cannot say the food was memorable at all. It's a shame because the waiting staff were lovely."

"looks like old paris rich bistro, which must have been really popular in the 70s, what they are looking for when they go to colbert. I have not tried much of the food and will certainly go back because the personal and the atmosphere were really pleasant. beautiful, in the bar quite some time with a good old fashion. the madeleines were hearty and tasty and the eierroyin were also really nice when they arrived. I will recommend if you miss france in london or if you are looking for a piece france in london"

"The soup was very good . Main course : gnocchi/ broccoli was rather tasteless and unfortunately the pastry in the tart statin was not good. Admittedly the staff were busy setting up after the pre theatre rush but our table had to wait quite a long time even for a drink. In the past Bradley’s had been one of our favourite local restaurants; change the chef!!!!!"

"My friend recommended this gastropub saying it was pretty good and offered good value. I was disappointed when I checked the menu beforehand and had already decided to order the Venison Filet, which I was excited to try. However, the menu on Opentable was different from what they currently offered. I ended up choosing Scallops as a starter, which were just okay, and a chicken breast with salad for my main. The chicken was tasteless and tough, not a good choice. My friend had the pork cheek and smoked squid, which were decent. We also had a dessert with vanilla ice cream, which was delicious. We had a beer and two glasses of house wine, and the bill came out to £90. I think it could have been cheaper given the quality of the food and the location in Queen's Park, rather than Oxford Circus. I wouldn't dine here again and wouldn't recommend it to a friend."

"I was pleasantly surprised with the entire experience. The food was plentiful (they offered refills of the sandwiches), fresh and delicious. I had the classic afternoon tea which is what you would expect with finger sandwiches, mini quiche, salmon bun, 2 scones (fruit and plain) as well as 5 mini desserts. My husband tried the gentleman's tea and this was outstanding. There was a plate of fish and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce. There was another plate with 3 other good sized portioned sandwiches. He had an olive scone with blue cheese butter, delish! Then a mini quiche and lemon macaron. We both had a black tea which was very good as well. The view of the Thames was nice. The only downside to the experience was I asked for a different table and she said it was already reserved. However, for the entire time we were there no one sat at that table. So that was a bit disappointing. Otherwise, I highly recommend."

"the service was incredibly slow not the fault of the staff, but there were not enough people on duty penny penny pinching by the administration that I suspect. the food was in order, but not deserved the price. the whole nice room had been hired to a private party so that table and ambiente were not nice. all in all, quite badly worth and not pleasant. the staff was very friendly, so I stress that it wasn't her fault."

"This was our very first Michelin star restaurant experience. It was a day of memorable meal and great company – a fantastic affair The place is quite laid back. The service was outstanding Amazing bread selection too. The first batch was freshly out of the oven, and the smell of warm bread just does something to your mood, it’s like a dosage of instant happiness We had hare tagliatelle, bouillabaisse, grilled lamb, roast guinea fowl, sorbet, and tarte tatin. Everything tastes fantastic. Beautiful intense flavour This place is NOT in Kew Garden, but is within walking distance to it. If you haven’t been to Kew Garden you should go and have a look.

"have they ever felt that they could ask a burning question that they could not wait? so much that it was so awfully difficult to suppress. almost as bad as these times when they were stuck in the rear seat of a car during a long journey and then realized that they should have done something in the last pause. Maybe it was this time that they saw a particularly well-dressed person on their road and wondered what cutter she used. or maybe it was this time when you looked jealous to someone else's shoes and wondered where they bought. or even simpler (or more likely in my case) they looked at another table and caught the most stubborn, awe inspiring...read more"

"My friends and I had probably the worst “hospitality” experience due to the manager of this restaurant. First, the restaurant run out of water. Secondly, we have been asked to move table after 20min seating) since the manager had double booked our seats. We kindly accepted to move and they mentioned “the drinks will be on the house”. During the diner, we heard clients complaining about a similar double booking of table and the staff were trying to move the clients to different locations. The peak of this extremely poor experience was when receiving the bill. The drinks were added so we kindly asked the manager to remove the bottle of wine £50) and keep their word. The manager, coming to our table half hangover) replied we should be happy to have a table on walking and mentioned “I cannot remove the bottle of wine but I will give you 1x sparkling water and 1x bottle of Coca-Cola for free”. We were shocked and told him to call the “proper” responsible person of the restaurant assuming it couldn’t be him managing this place of high-end reputation. Unfortunately, he arrogantly said I’m the manager of this restaurant. This is all I can do for you today. Long story short, we were so angry with the manager behaviour that we said “fix the bill now or we will walkout without paying”, to which he reply “feel free to get out” and literally left the restaurant without telling anything to his staff. We had to wait 10min to understand he actually left the restaurant and left his team to deal with the situation without any feedback whatsoever. Thankfully the team sort it out instead, they were wonderful and apologies on behalf of the manager who apparently gets lot of amazing reviews reading the previous comments. Great food, beautiful decoration and a manager to take care off immediately!"

"The restaurant was beautiful and the service was excellent, but the flavors were somewhat lacking. We opted for the 3-course menu. The duck pâté was odd and had bits of gristle. The sardines were the only flavorful element in the dish. The trout was good but the presentation seemed a bit outdated. The pork dish was tasty but not very innovative. The chicken was bland and the skin was soggy. The green sauce had a nice kick but lacked flavor. The potatoes were seasoned well and enjoyable. The staff noticed my dissatisfaction and kindly did not charge us for that dish. For dessert, we had a crème brulée with an unbreakable tip and a floor that was tasty but not quite traditional. The apricot layer was the highlight, complementing the lavender sauce beautifully. The chocolate mousse dessert had heavenly components but was not outstanding. The crispy wafer stood out for its texture. A chocolate birthday cake was brought out, but it seemed frozen and was not enjoyable. My favorite part of the meal was the vanilla and passion fruit martini. The French martini was also good. The decor was lovely and floral, but if I were to return, I would prefer to sit at the bar on the first floor."

"Prévost, tucked away in a hidden courtyard, close to the city centre but unobtrusively located, is an understated, elegant thrill. We indulged in the 9 course tasting menu but rather than add the associated wine flight, selected two thoroughly satisfying wines from the limited but comprehensive house list a red and a white which, supplemented by a glass of dessert wine, provided the icing on the cake of a lovely night. Each course from the menu was perfectly cooked, smartly presented and inventive. Gorgeous as the 'main ' course of hogget was, the real treat was the intense flavour and life of the vegetables, sauces and dressings lifting what might have seemed mundane in description to another level in the mouth."
