"We visited for a birthday party and it was a delightful experience. The watermelon cocktail was fantastic, and the menu was beautifully curated to offer a variety of flavors. I enjoyed the fish taco, which was perfectly crispy, and to start, I had the crab tagliatelle that was simply delicious. The Sauternes dessert wine complemented our dessert choice wonderfully. The staff was friendly and attentive, making this a place we will definitely return to."

"This was my first time at the restaurant and I will definitely be returning. The Yorkshire breakfast I ordered was incredibly tasty. The bacon and sausage were of exceptional quality, as they source their ingredients locally from a good butcher. The chef was very accommodating and made us poached eggs instead of fried. The toast was made with proper brown bread. Overall, there was nothing to dislike about the experience. The only downside is that the restaurant is only open one evening per week."

"After looking forward to Christmas lunch for months and inviting 30+ members of family to what I understood was a well respected establishment I have left with a bad taste in my mouth (and that 's not from the inadequacy of the food on offer). Paying £65 for Christmas Dinner I would have expected a luxury experience but this sadly was not the case. On arrival we were hearded in to a crowding dining hall like farmed cattle. After sitting down at the table I was served a lentil soup that had been left sat in the kitchen since the beatles were in the charts! Cold is an understatement. Shortly after this initial debacle, several members of our party left before even enjoying the overcooked beef that was on offer after queuing for the buffet for 35 minutes. I did however decide to stay and sample the carvery but did find that said beef was tougher than a sudoko puzzle after 18 pints! The turkey was tasty however so must give marks for this. The vegetables were wattery and had a distinct lack of seasoning and the Yorkshire puddings were drier than a Saharan summer. The hall had a star performer from the classic children 's TV Programme The Singing Kettle which was clearly well organised but the decibel levels were astronomical! Screaming at my young son from 3ft away isn 't my idea of a Christmas to remember! There was also an elderly lady who had felt unwell and vomited outside the front door where the smokers were standing. I did see a member of staff notified of this incident so I had assumed that this unfortunate mess would have been swiftly cleared but after several hours I returned to the scene to find the solidified vomit remained. It reminded me of the beef. The wine on sale at the bar was watered down, the draught lager was underwhelming and the staff in the dining hall (no fault of their own and absolutely not a responsibility they should have to burden) were noticeably untrained. Not to mention the lack of direction from any members of management. In 31 years of dining out for Christmas lunch (Covid being the only exception) this was, by some distance, the worst meal experience to date. I now have to explain to my distant family members, who have travelled from as far as Montevideo in Uruguay, that this isn 't the experience I had in mind when I asked them to make the journey. Hopefully any guests unfortunate enough to have booked for next year already are treated to a far better experience. If you plan to make no improvements to the event, I 'd send them to a soup kitchen instead. P.S. here is a photo of the dust on my fingers when I ran my hand along the wall beside my table. The lack of care for what should be such a magical day is upsetting and I will be contacting the health board about the asbestos infused environment I was forced to consume my food in. Merry Christmas"

"Birthday meal Went to downtown taqueria for my birthday was pretty quiet when we went there but the service was fast and friendly. The food is something totally different nachos are great with the best guacamole. The ‘meat one’ sharing platter was awesome and more than enough for two people. Will be back and recommend anyone to go. The cocktail selection is great as well."

"I was really impressed with this restaurant. It’s just the right fit for the location. I realize it was less busy during our visit than it might be in the peak summer season, but that didn’t take away from our experience. The staff was helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. The food was excellent. My partner has a gluten allergy, and I was pleased to find that many dishes were either gluten-free or could be easily modified to accommodate him, which was a first for him."

"We visited Foodies.Rock for the second time on Friday night April 2018 prior to a show at Royal and Derngate and cannot compliment them enough!!! Both times we have been we have thoroughly enjoyed our food and recommended them to anyone who will listen! Their stripped back furnishings are a little quirky, and their toilets are basic but their food and hospitality make up for that and more!! My husband and I very much enjoy trying new foods and absolutely love the tapas style menu where food comes out at different times and in smaller portions where you get a sample of it all. As it is street food from around the world it may require the average restaurant goer to step out of their comfort zone and try something new but I can assure you it will be WELL WORTH IT! We were advised to have 2-3 portions per person so we opted for three each and left with full bellies! Our favourites were the Korean bbq chicken, cassava chips and pork gyoza and in our opinion were all reasonably priced! Prior to coming in on Friday, I’d taken some time to read some of the reviews on TA and FB, and throughout my visit I noted that the staff and management have very much taken feedback on board and actually had made changes where appropriate, which to me speaks volumes about a restaurant! This is a gem in Northampton, perfect for a pre theatre dinner date, and yet remain modest in their approach! They deserve to be praised and supported for bringing something so new and refreshing to the local community! If you are reading this because you are considering it, just go, you won’t truly know until you try! I for one am already looking forward to my next visit!!!"

"Ever since Pick More Daisies closed down in Crouch End, I've always ventured further afield for brunch. That is until now; now that Monkey Nuts has been discovered! Don't get me wrong, I have been to Monkey Nuts a few times before. But it has always been for drinks in their cosy sofa bar area! Monkey Nuts has a big glass fronted entrance which makes the restaurant feel very light and airy. There is the dining area at the front of the restaurant and another towards the back. Even though we were seated just by the entrance, we didn't feel the draft of the door and the outside air. Sunday brunch consisted of tea and eggs on toast! Toasted triangles of granary bread topped with softly...read more"

"Mike, our waiter, was fantastic with our daughter, who was obsessed with him. All the staff were attentive and kind. The manager made sure everything was perfect with our meal. It would have been helpful if they had a baby changing station. The restaurant was very busy with families and young children. Overall, it was a wonderful first Mexican dining experience for our little one. Thank you!"

"Popped in for a light bite with my daughter today. Service was terrible and the food not much better. Doesn't come as described on the menu, staff unwilling take any adjustments. When our plates were collected and we were asked, for the first time since receiving our meal, if our food was OK, we responded with it was just OK. Our plates were removed and we were ignored for the rest of our visit. No offer of drinks or desserts, rude and uncaring about the whole customer experience. We ordered bangers and mash, which was bland and didn't come as described on the menu, no veg and raw, floury fried onions and two items from the small plate menu. I asked for the honey chilli which was supposed to come with Asian slaw, see picture for tiny soggy salad with rotten veg, chicken was hard, dry and over cooked. Absolutely will not be returning. Avoid."

"Although the restaurant was busy, we were able to find outdoor seating without a reservation. The outdoor seats were located under a covered area, but there was not much protection from the wind. Indoor seating was also available, but we opted for the outdoor seating on this warm evening. The restaurant had many charming wooden cabins for seating, but they were all occupied due to its popularity. We enjoyed glimpses of the sea over the wooden fence and even spotted dolphins or porpoises in the bay. The food was delicious with generous portions that left us feeling satisfied. The high quality ingredients made the dishes not greasy at all, perfect for a seaside meal. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant."
