"My partner and I dined at this restaurant on a weeknight during the summer holidays. Despite the bustling atmosphere, our waiter was prompt in taking our drink orders and bringing our food. Our meals arrived in a timely manner and were served piping hot, causing us to accidentally drop one plate due to the heat. However, the staff quickly replaced it without any issues. The food met the usual high standards we expect from Franky and Bennys. The restaurant is conveniently located a short walk from the Manchester tram stop and provided a pleasant alternative to the typical fish and chips fare."

"Once seated, we waited an hour to be served, while several tables that arrived after us were attended to and had their meals served in just 20 minutes. When we inquired about our order, we were merely asked what we had ordered. After mentioning our dish, we were brought the wrong items about 10 minutes later. When I pointed out the mistake, they asked if I had a receipt, which I didn’t, since they hadn’t provided one. I was then directed to the bar to explain the situation to the person I ordered from, along with proof of my order. I had to reiterate the issue to multiple employees, including the cook and finally, the manager. Unfortunately, no one offered a viable solution. I was told by the kitchen that they never received our order. I requested the correct meal, but they said they had nothing else to offer, except drinks. Given that we had already waited over an hour and were extremely hungry, it was frustrating to hear that they couldn’t assist us further. Overall, the experience was quite unpleasant, and it felt like we were not taken seriously as customers."

"I had booked about a week before but it was hardly necessary as there were only other people in the room. Was greeted at entrance politely and escorted to tabel and issued with menus. Decided on smoked salmon statrter which was excellent and just the right portion. Main course was Roast Beef which was also excellent. The accompaniments were really good large Yorkshire, roast potatos and savoy? cabbage gravy. The portions were just about right but it was so delicious that I ate the lot! I had a glass of claret which, again, was very good. Two disappointments The complete lack of atmosphere due to empty room. I thought it a little overpriced as lunch came to to which service charge was added which I think is lot for person. However the food and service were first class and as it is such an iconic venue, I suppose that must expect to pay top dollar."

"Bella Italia was included as part of a party package in Brighton for a group of 9 on a hen do! Our table wasn 't ready upon arrival and we had no idea how they were going to squeeze 9 of us into such a small restaurant. We all felt very self conscious and like we were intruding upon the other customers personal time, as it was such an intimate restaurant. Once our table was ready, we were seated at the rear of the restaurant and one of our friends was at the end of the table, which was in the way of the waiters 'service ' area (drinks, till etc . The food choices on the 'party ' menu were very limited (choice of 2 starters and 4 mains and the restaurant weren 't aware that one of our party required gluten free options. However, a gluten free menu was promptly supplied and the waiter was very efficient helpful throughout our visit. I don 't think the food was that good, is very basic (even looking a other customers choices! and quite bland. I have been to far superior Italian restaurants this is maybe somewhere I would go for a light lunch and not an evening meal. That said, on this occasion the food was adequate for our needs; we weren 't there for a special meal."

"A nice restaurant and well worth a visit while are at the garden centre which is also excellent. A fairly good selection of main meals and light lunches. I have rarely experienced any issues with the availability of menu items and have always been informed of issues when being seated. The burger is good value and with chips makes a main meal."

"I've past this Giraffe a few times in the past and especially in the morning, it's busy in the morning. When you book a table online it will give you two options; standard or top. I booked it standard but I was curious of the top option, so I've changed it and was happy with the result. Location is within 10min of Victoria station, venue has both in/or outdoor seating so option is there. It's not a super big venue but it seems that there are enough decent space between the tables. Service was ok, they were not a lot of people in the restaurant so not sure why it took longer to get our main when my main came, the visual appearance is nice but the chicken was lukewarm and borderline cold. Didn't complain cus I was not sure if the chicken was meant to be cold as the salad plate that I got, well it was cold. It's a nice restaurant and worth a visit. The while Giraffe set up reminds me a bit of Zizi."

Was disappointed as we were looking forward to it"

"Victors have changed it is more like a tapas style restaurant where dishes arrive at different time. Just very unorganised some people in the party received their food 30 minutes after the rest of the party had finished. Waitress was nice and very pleasant but the kitchen were unable to accommodate any slight change to a dish. Wouldn’t go back or recommend."

"--- First of all, this is the best place I’ve been to with my best friend. For some reason, we often find ourselves at restaurants where the quality of food doesn't match the price, but that was not the case here. I’ll break my review down into sections, starting with the quality of the food. **Quality of Food:** I couldn’t fault it at all. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we both agreed on that. The fish and burger were particularly memorable; neither of them left us feeling sluggish or unwell because they were cooked to perfection. They had a homemade feel and were healthy yet filling—way better than a greasy fish and chips joint or a typical burger place. Everything was served hot and met very high standards. For starters, we shared some garlic bread, which was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. It was a generous portion for two, and it came with a sharp knife, allowing us to cut it into eight pieces—four satisfying pieces each. For dessert, they had some great options, like honeycomb milkshakes and other unique offerings that you don’t often see, but sadly, they ran out of what my friend wanted. We ended up going for the classic vanilla milkshake and fudge cake, which I can confidently say was amazing. It was the best dessert I’ve had in a long time! It was so creamy, and the vanilla ice cream was anything but boring; it tasted exactly like proper vanilla should. **Price of Food:** We were pleasantly surprised when our bill came to just £37, especially considering the generous portions we received. It was absolutely worth the price. Just a note about leaving tips: if you want to tip by card, you need to ask the staff to add it into the card machine because they have to input the amount manually. **Staff:** The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Even the bartenders noticed my friend’s shopping bag and kindly found a plastic bag for them. **Service:** The service was prompt, and if we needed more time before ordering dessert, they happily accommodated us. Since we visited on a Monday, it wasn’t too busy, which meant we could enjoy our meal at a comfortable pace. **Variety of Menu:** They offered an extensive menu with so many options. Even as someone who can be quite picky, I found plenty of choices to satisfy my cravings. There wasn’t a huge variety of desserts, but the options they had were excellent. **Cleanliness:** Everywhere seemed immaculate, including the cutlery. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant!"

"Booked here for my partners mothers day meal with me and our two children. Booked for 5pm as our children need to be in bed for 7.30pm Menu was very limited with not a great deal to chose from and after waiting for our food for over an hour (which I kind of expected and wasn’t to mad at with it being Mother’s Day) I decided to ask a staff member to check in on our food which turned out that our food had not even been made. They offered to put the food on but at this point it was too late so we had to leave. A full refund was issued but unfortunately we won’t be returning."

"We had an OK time. We paid for our meal as part of our Lords ticket so had a set one course choice. We had the curry which was not bad, not amazingly flavoursome but acceptable. There were plenty of staff to customers but service very casual and not over friendly. Plenty of screens to watch the cricket and am sure when key matches are on there is probably a great atmosphere, but at other times not a particular destination."
"my friends and I visited the fox, menston on Sunday to celebrate a special birthday and I could not have been happier with all the experience. the team was very accommodating and allowed us to arrive early to decorate the table and put us before we were due, the drinks were nice and the eating was absolutely delicious. our appetizers came out immediately and looked nice, the main courses were good the money worth, I could not believe the amount of food we received and the dessert was perfect. we were served by the meal of laura, which was absolutely beautiful, she was friendly, patient and in the giggles that was brilliant, she made the experience that was much more special. many thanks to the whole team, but especially to laura, to make the day so unforgettable."

"The food was excellent, but the service left much to be desired. The staff were quite pushy about taking our order, which didn't allow us much time to peruse the menu. This may have been influenced by the current restrictions, but it felt a bit overwhelming. Additionally, they served all the food at once. While the quality of the food was impressive, the staff could have been more friendly and personable instead of coming across as robotic."

"I ordered peri peri chicken, but it was just a small plain piece of chicken with supermarket bought peri peri sauce poured on top. The chicken is supposed to be cooked with the sauce, not poured on top afterwards. The chicken tasted like it had been left out for days. The salad was barely fresh. You would n't even feed a dog that meat, never mind a human. That is how sick it was. The meal was supposed to include grilled corn, but did n't. If you don't have what is listed on the menu, why not say, instead of stealing money from a customer. At £18, the same meal and drink would have been both edible and half the price at the wetherspoon's. Why the bar staff could n't check what was being served, ask me about the meal or check-back was a disgrace. The staff only want to deal with white people. I won't return to this venue."

"Café Rouge at 52 Low Petergate not only offers delicious food but also boasts a beautiful street-front facade that shines brightly at night through its large windows. My man and I visited at different meal times and I opted for coffee and a snack while he enjoyed the hearty boeuf bourguignon, which was filled with tender meat and fresh beans. While there may be better boeuf bourguignon in higher-end restaurants, the price and ambiance at Café Rouge on Low Petergate cannot be beaten. Despite being part of a chain, this location has a unique charm that is easy to forget. Additionally, there is a charming and cozy dining room in the back. Café Rouge can be found at 52 Low Petergate, York, YO1 7HZ, and can be reached at 44 1904 673293."

"This restaurant on Gloucester High Street seems to be the only one with a top hygiene rating. The place is clean, but the food is very greasy. It's good for a quick bite after a night out, but not a suitable choice for a proper dinner."

"In my visits to Drumchapel I've always enjoyed the fare on offer at Pauls. When calling for collection I've always been struck by the spotless shop and serving areas. Deliveries are always prompt, service is always cheery and friendly. No stranger to a chippy supper over the years, Pauls is right up there with the best I've had. Portions are hearty and the batter is a delightful crispy experience, especially on the fish. Great variety, always tasty and the sausage supper would fill you for a fortnight. Great for a wee home delivery treat."

"Charming and quaint setting, discreetly tucked away behind Bond st. Food was delicious. Burrata was probaby the freshest I have tasted. I wanted the Avocado and eggs from the brunch menu but they had run out of avocado. The Halloumi fries were very nice. The truffle chips were delish as well. On the downside, they do not have a No Smoking policy outside, so you are forced to inhale second hand smoke, if you want to sit outside. Very unpleasant."

"I was kept waiting twice as long as the estimated wait time at this restaurant, clearly due to a delivery issue. A man who seemed to be a manager was continuously swearing on his phone and directing his frustration toward other patrons while slamming the phone down on customers asking about their orders. When my food finally arrived, there was no apology offered. I haven’t been to this place in 10 years, and after this experience, I have no intention of returning for another decade."
