"We arrived at our reservation time of 6pm (opening time) to find the door open but only the chef inside. The waiter arrived without apologizing or offering us a seat, instead focusing on setting up tables. We waited until 6:20 without being seated or acknowledged, so we decided to leave. We walked just 2 minutes down the road to Tomo Pizza, where we enjoyed delicious food."

"Another great find. Years ago, I used to be on Kingsland Road every other week. Now that I have moved to SW London, Kingsland Road is a bit of a treck. I also feel that the quality has suffered and was keen to find a Vietnamese closer to home. Viet Ace has filled the spot with great authentic food and great staff. The only gripe was that during our visit on one of the colder nights, the restaurant was also getting quite cold."

"We had recently been recommended by a friend about their lunch deal of £10 for steak, chips and a glass of wine. However very disappointed as we were shafted and not given the offer for no reason. We turned up at Friday lunchtime and like their website says we asked if lunch deal included wine to two members of staff who both confirmed it did. We ordered our food which was lovely. When the bill arrived we had been charged £11.40 per wine glass and highlighted this to the waitress (who earlier said deal was running) who said “we haven’t been doing that since 2018”. We showed her that it was on their websites menu but she wouldn’t budget. We know this isn’t true as our friend who recommended it had got the deal a few weeks prior. Furthermore, false advertising on website and two staff members saying yes when we arrived is just terrible. In the end we had to pay £20 more than what we expected and ruined the visit despite the great food. I would like some compensation and I will edit my review as the food was actually great just terribly shafted."

"The place is lovely and the staff really nice and attentive. The food was delicious. We had a little issue with one of the steaks and, when we talked to the staff, they quickly solved it, no problems. The Mac’n cheese is really good. I recommend the cookie and ice cream as dessert."

"Not overly impressed. Came here for date night dinner. Admittedly booked at short notice but no table was ready despite the listing saying it was. Starters were fine. Mains were disappointing. My partner ordered the crab pasta. Could barely taste any crab. I ordered the chicken with pesto. It honestly tasted of nothing. And it was very overpriced considering the quality of the food. Overall can't recommend."

"A truly gluten free Italian restaurant in the heart of London seems too good to miss, and it was. Absolutely everything on the menu is gluten free, so there is no risk of cross contamination, and there is real depth of understanding of vegan and dairy free needs as well. It is a family run business and there is great sense of rapport amongst the staff, which spreads to their understanding of customer needs. Food is delicious, and served quickly (we had a vegan salad, canollini and ravioli all excellent) with quirky, healthy drinks (gluten free beer is also available, of course) and a superlative chocolate brownie to finish. Service is quick and efficient yet warm. It is a small cafe sized restaurant, so booking absolutely essential in the hour we were there they turned away at least ten potential groups because of lack of space. They could use twice the space, given the demand I saw. It is not suitable for customers with a severe nut allergy as they use a lot of nuts in their recipes. The only reason I hesitate to share a good review of this great find is that I want to be sure of a table next time!"

"We arrived a little early and as our table wasn't ready we went to wash our hands. The stench of stale urine en route should have alerted us as to what to expect. However, to our disappointment we stayed. We were given the menus and left to make our choices. The place was fairly busy and very noisy as there were a couple of large groups. Eventually the waiter and waitress?? came to take our order. We asked if it was possible to have a salad without leaves, the waitress didn't think so but would check with the chef. She came back to say no it's not possible, when we asked why the reply was he's very stubborn We ordered a bottle of champagne and asked for an ice bucket, not a cooler. The waiter and waitress returned with the bottle in a cooler, the waiter was very nervous and actually said I hate opening champagne After removing the muselet from the cork he clearly realised he'd forgotten to order something from the table next to us. He dumped the unopened bottle on the table and literally ran to the kitchen to advise the chef of his error. Back to us, he then opened the champagne and spilled a considerable amount onto the paper tablecloth which became soggy and see-through. He then went to another restaurant/venue and returned with an ice bucket Whilst this was going on the female was talking across him to ask for our food order. We ordered torched mackerel and the caramelised onion and brie tartlet to start followed by duck with sweet potato mash and chicken supreme with parmentier potatoes She returned to us a few minutes later and said can you tell me what you've order again, I forget The bread basket (which was a shop bought baguette sliced with little pats of butter) was stale The starters were hugely disappointing. The pastry case was hard tasteless and under seasoned. The filling was basically melted brie with a miniscule amount of onion on top. Mains came with exactly the same vergetable garnish, al denté carrots and a broccoli floret neither of which were seasoned. The sweet potato mash was non existent and the parmentier potatoes were in fact a very poor attempt at dauphinoise There were two older waitresses who looked and behaved utterly bored leaving these two, clearly inexperienced and untrained members of staff to do all the work. They were not nice to guests, when when people were leaving and saying goodbye they simply did not respond The table next to us was a party of six, who's dishes and dirty glasses remained on the table from before we arrived and were still there when we left After we told them how disappointed we were they did remove the starters from the bill. Despite this, it really did not make up for the catalogue of errors, poor service and appaling food. Please beware, you will not receive a good meal or service at this place."

"Very enjoyable Sunday lunch for our son's 17th birthday we were two adults and three teenagers. Service friendly and efficient, and plenty of food choices and four of us opted for different roasts, which all went down very well. Not so much choice for vegetarians (who do sometimes want a roast dinner with everything barring the meat) but I very much enjoyed the ricotta flan which came with all the usual Sunday roast veg trimmings. We love the cosy stone interior with fireplaces which still manages not to feel cramped plenty of dining space and look forward to visiting again soon."

"New management are doing a great job! We’ve had a run of bad management unfortunately so if you’ve visited in the past few years don’t be out off. The food was simple and delicious. Nice specials too. Good sized potions meant we didn’t have room for pud so we’ll have to go back and we will. Really friendly staff and the chef/manager came out to say hello too. Great stuff!!"

"We were a little disappointed at first we were seated and left for minutes by the waiting staff. The maitre was quite flustered by this and the waitress was upset that we might be unhappy. We felt sad for the pressure the waitress seemed to be under and we did not make a fuss. The food was delicious though"

"Why have I not gone here before? My wife took me out for a birthday dinner and I chose this place as somewhere new to try. It's in a great location just opposite the Playhouse Theatre and very close to Princes Street. What a great...choice! The food was excellent and every dish was beautifully presented. I'm sure it's all good but we loved the whitebait, calamari, octopus, pork cheeks, Spanish black pudding and salad with grilled goats cheese. We had dishes between us, portions were decent and good value for such quality food. The staff were really friendly and even sang me happy birthday and brought me a wee cake. The atmosphere was great and it felt like everyone was having a happy night out. Just what we all need in these difficult times. Thanks La Sal for a great experience!! We'll be back."

"We had a lovely afternoon tea which served in the quiet room. I loved the little bowl of soup and the beautiful presentation of the dishes. Very nice cake selection and we had our first taste of edible flowers. The scones would be my least favourite part as think I would have expected different' scones from the usual there and they were rather dry. Also one jar of jam and cream were a bit small portion for the four scones however the black currant jam was delicious."

"last Saturday I booked a table to breakfast and after arriving at the restaurant I was informed that the kitchen was closed because of the absentness of the chef. I think they could have a message or an email with the registration of the customers who have previously booked a table to avoid the trip to the restaurant. at this opportunity I got friends from Spain and it was quite frustrated for us leaving the restaurant without breakfast menu. the online bookings should receive more attention, as it reflects how the restaurant deals with its customers."

"an amazing hidden place in the bustling China city! the shop has two separate sections for taking and eating. the es tab is in the upper floor and the booking is highly recommended, especially for a busy weekend. we ran quite late (30min, but the staff was very friendly and still our table. the menu was simply a total of 10 dishes. we ordered 3 to start with. it was really much for two people, but we could, fortunately, take another dish. the surprise was really the bun that comes with the boar bell, it worked so well with meat and sauce. we ordered an extra and recommend adding at the beginning to avoid additional waiting time. the dessert and the drinks were amazing! the price was on the easy expensive side to share 3 meals, 1 drink per and 1 dessert per person, it came as £36 per person."

"I had the vegan aubergine schnitzel with new potatoes, rocket, pickled onions, capers, dill and oat milk dressing, and it was really lovely. Light and fresh but satisfying. I’ll definitely have it again. My carnivore father couldn’t believe how pretty and colorful it looked They offer oat or soy milk with coffee, though there are lots of speciality teas to choose from. They also offer a vegan club sandwich with red pepper and mushroom, vegan soup (lentil and sweet potato the day I visited), avocado toast, spinach and avocado salad, and a handful of vegan side dishes. There are lots of vegetarian options. Most people come for the pastries and afternoon tea, which are vegetarian not vegan. The only vegan cake listed on the menu is a carrot gugelhupf, which looked good. Would have liked to have seen more vegan cakes/desserts as they are easy to offer."

"What a lovely restaurant. We came as an early new year celebration just my wife and I. Very relaxing and intimate inside, nice music, very comfortable seating. The staff were all very friendly. It is quite expensive but you do get what you pay for. The food is superb. My wife stated that the pasta she had was the best she has ever tasted! Given we went to Rome this year and ate lots of pasta that is very high praise indeed! Well worth a visit and for sure we will be going back."

"Visited with my husband last night for dinner. As soon as we went through the door I detected a funny smell. Don’t know what it was, but it wasn’t inviting or welcoming. The inside is very old fashioned without being ‘trendy’ or quirky. The wood...chip on the walls had seen better days, as had the array of ornamental glass bottles on the shelves next to our table. Also on the shelf was a radio playing radio 2. I am a radio 2 fan, but not at 7.30 in the evening while having dinner not good for the ambience! I ordered fisherman’s pie which was semi ok, but was clearly microwaved as it arrived within 15 minutes. The accompanying new potatoes were also microwaved, given the 15 minute window and the fact the skins were wrinkly. My husband ordered faggots. He ate less than half of one as they didn’t appear cooked in the middle. The accompanying mash potato was watery, lumpy and tasteless. No complaints about the staff, they were all efficient and friendly. This is clearly a locals pub, given the sign on the table ‘locals table.’ Don’t be fooled by the beautiful exterior. There are plenty of other beautiful places in Broadway that serve equally beautiful food."

"I visited this place for the first time after changing the location of what would originally be the c* %a on the road. I was greeted by a lovely lady with a mysterious smile. my workmate and I choose a seat, and were asked what we want to drink, the one (I did not ask their names) was very helpful in the description of the different types and sizes of coffee that they could supply, I calm down on one of them and they turn into what seemed like a very fast fashion. the coffee was just after my taste and although I would normally not have two coffees in a row, at that time I did it. I would recommend the nutmeg caffe to one and all."

"We been looking for fresh bread and pastries for a time and we found Loaf via Google, when we arrived you are greeted by lovely friendly staff. They have great product knowledge and very helpful, there is so much choice of breads, cakes, hot pastries. The menu is lovely and works around its fresh products, the prices are great. We are currently working throught their hot pastries cabinet which I have to say is too quality and oh so tasty. The breads are lovely as are the scones, tea cakes we always come away with a bag full of goodies. This is now our weekly trip out for a treat and some great bread. Can highly recommend Loaf even if a bit if a trip to get here. Just love love love Loaf"
