"Bad food. Loooong wait both for drinks and food. Waiter (owner I was told) got 2 meals wrong. Brought calamari fritti for my husband and I which he never ordered in his life and I can 't stand them as they are like rubber in the UK so would never have ordered that. Waiter insisted I did, not once but 3x! My husband actually asked for whitebait! My husband ordered calf 's liver as a main which is soft and succulent in France, Germany and Greec etc. It was thin and like shoe leather. It is supposed to go into a hot pan, then turned over after a few seconds and taken out of pan served. This is what it should be like "A classic of British cooking, Calf 's Liver is succulently tender and fine grained with a deliciously mild, sweet flavour. More and more people are discovering the delicious flavour of Calf 's Liver due to its place on the menus.« I took it home to give to the dog and foxes!! My friend next to me (we were 13) ordered meatballs which were so salty she couldn 't eat them. Another lady didn 't like how the fish was done. It was mediocre. MY mussels had anorexia. I have photos. They were non existent or if there was one in the shell, it didn 't measure more than 5mm. 20 were empty and the sauce was not nice. Obvs they were not fresh mussels, they were cooked already and just heated up. Lots and lots of small broken shells in the sauce. Must have been the last dregs. Just as well I didn 't swallow one of the shards. Will I go back? No, I 'll go to a real Italian restaurant next time. Bragging about an Italian chef! He needs to go on a cookery course IN ITALY! I lived, ate and cooked there. I know what Italian food is supposed to taste like!!!!! And sooo expensive."

"After dining at this restaurant multiple times, I made a reservation for dinner with three friends and was extremely let down by the decline in quality. The cocktails lacked flavor, the wine was tasteless, and all the food was overly salty. The lemon sole was overcooked, the butter sauce tasted burnt instead of nutty. The aubergine main dish was small and lacked flavor, more suitable as a starter. The halloumi main was bland and the sole goujons were lukewarm at best. The dessert, rhubarb frangipane, tasted like a subpar Bakewell tart with minimal rhubarb, and the Balthazar coupe was overly sweet. At a price of £270, this meal was far too expensive for the subpar quality. I am unsure if there has been a change in management at this restaurant, but I was truly disappointed and embarrassed to have recommended it to my friends. I will not be returning or suggesting this restaurant to others in the future."

"I thought the service was first class and you were made to feel comfortable from the moment you sat down. The food was delicious and perfectly presented. Value is good considering the ambiance and restaurant. I would recommend it and I will definitely be going again. Also just a heads up if you decide to go on a Friday make sure it’s with a group of friends or like a bit of loud music. Singer was great but not if you want a quiet one."

"For the first time in the Brighton Giggling Squid, in a group of five on Wednesday evening (booked a week in advance). It looks like a converted house. Two steep steps to the entrance door, then sharp right onto the first dining area or straight up and flights from stairs to other dining areas here and there. Toilets are right at the top of the building, in what looks like a loft conversion (low ceilings at 45 degrees. We had a table upstairs in a small room with tables for four, four, two and six (us. Waiting staff were often to see and although it was busy (BOOK! there was little hanging around. We ordered starters and nets to go in a way we were very hungry and eight drinks. Cocktails served quickly, all right. The food was presented in shed pans and stoneware bowls, which you ate with knits and forks. Everything was nice, a starter, a main and a rice or noodle dish was about the right size for a hungry adult. They add a 10% service fee to the bill without asking, but waiter said that is shared right between the staff so that I do it at this and no top above, £184.03 overall. NB. The parking at The Lanes is only £5 from 18 to midnight and we used it. It is an excellent complex just found the corner of the restaurant."

"great food, friendly staff and decor. alana, great work, keep it up. we were great within seconds after the entrance of the door, they could even postpone our booking as we were early. starter came fast and tasted absolutely amazing. we couldn't blame them in the least. our net, that was the smetterling pad thai was also something I would recommend. perfectly dimensioned, tasted from this world and something I would order again and again. the only thing I was disappointed was not getting a cold, but my partner did. the puddings were also brilliant, the chocolate exploded with taste and really satisfied that sweet tooth I had demanded. all in all we loved our experience and felt that our server alana was 10 out of 10. she helped us in our order, had a brilliant presentation and offered us an amazing customer service. the only one I was not satisfied with was the service fee that was added without warning. there may have been signs that I did not see, but I only found out when I was flipped and said that this was added automatically."

"Despite making an advance request for gluten-free options, the offerings were limited at this French restaurant, with duck and foie gras being the main focus. The gluten-free bread arrived late from the freezer and was of poor quality compared to other options in London. The steak was delicious, but the sorbets were too sour and the prices were quite high."

"We could smell the food from round the corner. Food is so well cooked and flavoured. Can't find a single fault with the food. Service was excellent. We were served by Edward, who made our cocktails and took or order. Such a gent. Gemma brought the food and she had the foresight to change our table before squeezing the food on a small table. Will definitely recommend this place. Vegetarian options: Thai green/red curry and much more. Service: Dine in"

"The restaurant itself was not as warm/pleasant in terms of decor/setting as I'd expect from Carluccios; the atmosphere was more like a cafe. However our waiter was absolutely fantastic; he was very friendly and efficient, made us feel very welcome and did a great job. The food was absolutely delicious, even though they were short-staffed and only had one chef there."

"I recently ate at the Horsham branch with my teenage son. We had a starter each. We had a main course. A older blonde lady took our order. Our starters came after quite a wait. When she took our plates the waitress said “you must have been starving you ate them so quickly” we had eaten them at a normal speed! Two small starters do not take too long to eat! After waiting for 20minutes I called over another waiter, he assumed I was asking for the bill, as we had been there so long. I said that, no, we were still waiting for our mains. The restaurant was not busy. He sent over the original waitress who took our order and she stated that because we were so starving and ate our starters so fast, our mains are on a timer and we’d have to wait! We waited 40 minutes from our starter until our main course. There was no apology for the wait. She just said that it was our fault for eating our starter so fast! I found this very odd and have never been given this explanation before. We will not be returning as I found her very rude."

"Warm greeting on arrival and an unexpected free glass of prosecco to celebrate my friend's birthday. The staff are very attentive and welcoming. We both had sea bass with various vegetable accompaniments which was very pleasant and tasty. Lively and buzzy atmosphere and good views of Leadenhall market from the first floor windows."

"It’s a hit and miss for us. Some of the dishes stood out whereas rest were not upto mark. The beef dishes, salmon starter, Thai curry and rice were among the nice ones whereas noodle and salad were the worst. Most of the items are deep fried which came as a shame especially for salad. The portions were good and filling. Good staff but ambience I prefer Leamington Spa. Over all a good experience. Visited Sep 23 Vegetarian options: There are a lot of options. Dietary restrictions: There are vegetarian options available Parking: It will difficult to find parking and nothing is free. Wheelchair accessibility: It’s Wheelchair friendly but restrooms are located above Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Recommended dishes: Crying Beef, Chicken Green Curry Recommendation for vegetarians: Somewhat recommend Vegetarian offerings: Vegetarian menu or section, Clearly labeled vegetarian dishes Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Paid street parking"

"My favourite restaurant in Marlow! As a local I'm so lucky to have such a variety of restaurants however when I fancy a catch up with friends, a meal with our out of town families or a date night with my other half I always want to come here! The food, staff and atmosphere are perfect, every meal is high standard, consistent and beautifully presented. The portion size is incredibly generous, I almost always take home half my main meal after a starter! Thank you so much to all of the staff, it's a wonderful experience every time. It's friendly, consistent and just all round a calm, relaxed and wonderful place to eat I'd recommend booking before 7pm as you'd imagine they book up heavily and even have queues on weekdays after 7! Thanks to all the staff, I look forward to returning as always!"

"We booked a table a week in advance for a special family birthday on New Year’s Day at 6.30pm. We arrived on time. There was no table specifically reserved despite us requesting a nice table for the birthday meal. The service was awful. We waited half an hour to order drinks and food. We waited an hour for our starters. Some of the drinks we ordered didn’t arrive. The food was good but the poor service spoiled what was meant to be a special occasion. Despite us having booked a table, other diners who arrived after us ordered and received their food long before us. The manager said they were short staffed but they were accepting bookings and people without bookings in spite of this. Really disappointing."

"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."
