"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."

"it was at our booked time of 6pm (opening time,) to which the door was open, but only one cook was inside. the waiter stood up and didn't apologize or offered to sit on us. Instead, he began to open the doors and lay tables. we stood there until 6:20, to which we did not yet sit or have told us something. we went 2 minutes to to tomo pizza. nice eating there."

"Very poor service. Staff did no take the order and after minutes of waiting walked to front of house and made the order at the bar Then waited a further minutes for food to arrive The place was freezing cold as they couldnât be bothered to turn the heating on The food was surprisingly ok though If you want to sit in a cold restaurant in a room that has not been decorated for over years whilst waiting over an hour for the good to arrive, then I would recommend this experience."

"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."

"Absolutely fabulous! We were visiting no.1 son who is now a Clapham resident. We did our research and chances upon this gem, but we couldn’t have expected it to be this good. Due to stormy weather trains from oop North were delayed so no.1 was sent on to let us the restaurant know we were inbound, better than that he had ordered Peronis ready for our arrival, from the relaxed and friendky front of house guys. We had grilled octopus (sublime) , Arancini both as a starter and as a main course, focaccia, no.2 had sirloin (medium rare) and declared it the ‘best ever’, and is garnering suitable experience to actually judge, no.1 and I had phenomenal 10oz rump (rare) all with triple cooked trips. We washed our food down with a delightful bottle of house red and folllowed up with chocolate ice cream for no.2, cheesecake for no.1 and a Mai Tai for no. 0 . We could not have asked for a better family reunion and meal. We felt so comfortable and welcome and would recommend it, be it for family, couples or small parties, thank you."

"We 've had really good visits to the Willy Wicket in the past but the most recent visit was a major disappointment. Arrived at noon for lunch on a weekday but staff were not ready to receive guests and we had to ask to be seated. When I asked about the lunchtime menu which was advertised online, staff were unable to locate or produce a paper menu for us to look at. Food for 3 people took over 40min to arrive and only after we enquired about it. We were the first table to order that lunchtime but another table was served before us. When I queried this, the supervisor was very abrupt in her response and said this was because we had ordered a steak (I didn 't think it took that long to cook a steak, even a well-done one! . She seemed to imply that the delay was our own fault for ordering the steak in the first place but none of the staff had made it clear that the steak would take that long to cook. We had intended to stay for dessert but after being given dessert menus, nobody came back to take our orders so we ended up leaving after paying at the bar (again because there was nobody around to ask for the bill . The supervisor studiously avoided us for the rest of our visit and did not check back in with us at any point afterwards. I submitted a complaint after the visit but there was no apology forthcoming or reassurance that the issues I highlighted would be addressed, only a voucher for £10 which felt a bit like a 'payoff ' to keep me quiet. £10 barely covers the price of one main meal! I don 't think we 'll be back again in the future given our recent experience which is a shame because previous visits have been lovely especially when Charlotte and her team were waiting tables."

"We had the pleasure of dining at this remarkable restaurant yesterday, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the stage for a truly delightful evening. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the Beef Bourguignon. It was a masterpiece of flavors tender, rich, and perfectly seasoned, every bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and the quality of the ingredients used. Paired with a beautifully chosen wine, it was simply divine! What made our dinner even more special was the exceptional service we received from Massimiliano. His professionalism and genuine passion for hospitality shone through every interaction. He made us feel like honored guests, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring every aspect of our dining experience was flawless. Massimiliano's attention to detail and warm demeanor elevated our evening to new heights. I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough! With exquisite food, top notch staff made by professional and always smiling people, and a team manager like Massimiliano, who bring an extra touch of magic to every meal, it truly is a hidden gem. We left with our hearts full and our taste buds dancing. Thank you for an extraordinary dining experience – we can’t wait to return!"

"Santino, the owner, made our night very special as he and his team delivered excellent meals and entrees in a very relaxed environment. The food was very tasty and expertly prepared to a very high standard. An aperitif was served before the meal arrived which was a very nice (and extremely tasty) touch. My fiancee ordered the lasagnia while I ordered the fetticini, both of which were amazing. The service was prompt and friendly. Never missing a beat, the meals and drinks were delivered in a very timely manner with a friendly chat and smile. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a casual drink.and chat on the patio or a more intimate, romantic dinner inside. Thanks Santino!"

"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!"

"sometimes eating in a restaurant is not about trendy eating, fine eating and small teller, but eating about comfort that makes them happy. recently I went to a small restaurant in angel: le sacré coeur, where one of my French friends invited me. it was a good reason to recover many years in a familiar and simple atmosphere. to begin the meal, we shared a plate of mix of marinated olives, cheese with sef and brot olive oil, as our waitress told us the most important courses were quite large. the cheese was good, served at room temperature, two disappointing points over this plate: the quality of the brotes was 't good, so a scandal for a French restaurant and where was the saucisson? my friend ordered a entrecôte grill with a pfeffer sauce. I was impressed by the size of her entrecôte and it was served with beautifully cooked thin frits. the entrecôte was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. this entrecôte was better and cheaper than the one I tried in chabrot bistrot des halls at smithfield market. as a main course I had the classic coq au vin. it was such a pleasure to have a classic dish done so well, the carrots and mushrooms were slowly cooked in the sauce. carrots melt like butter in mouth. I remember when I went to the trendy brasserie zedel at piccadilly, the mushrooms and carrots were cooked separately from the sauce, it did not taste as great as they were too crispy. the coq au vin first came to the table, I did not notice that it came with a side: sautéed kartoffeln. I think this court would have been enough to be shared by two people. le sacré coeur is not the "coolest place to be for a meal in london, but for me this place was much better than some trendy places. it was very good worth a (massive) main course around £12, it came to £20 per head with wein and the plate we shared. sometimes they can surprise the humblest looking places. le sacré coeur was a simple French restaurant with a very friendly atmosphere and nice French waiter (I know that they are in the real famous to be rude to chris pople.) I will definitely come back to le sacré coeur when I am nostalgic or if I want to eat real French comfort eating without a poor le sacré coeur on when the bill comes. 8/10"

"The only restaurant with a view of the harbour but portions (especially the whole lobster are small and value for money is lacking. The smoked haddock was very good but the dessert option (Dutch apple flan) was a slice of something unremarkable straight from the fridge. The staff are uniformly pleasant."

"The roast beef and roast potatoes were excellent, cooked beautifully and hot. The rest of the vegetables were not particularly hot and the dish for 4 people was the same size as the dish of vegetable served to a table of 2. The service was a bit chaotic with several people attending to us resulting in a bit of a wait to place our order as each person serving thought somebody else had taken our order. There was also a long wait between courses. We will eat here again as we want to support our local pub and the new team."

"We were lucky enough to experience the taster menu twice last year, a wonderful experience which has stayed in our memory. This year we visited Wheelers with a couple of friends for lunch, unfortunately due to timings we were unable to book for the taster menu in the evening. The restaurant was very busy,but we had booked well in advance for our table of 4. Service initially was a little rushed, but still friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food, once again, was sensational, everything from crab cakes which apparently have been on the menu for 25 years), cod, served with gazpacho, lobster lasagne, sea trout, perfectly cooked scallops, Oriental prawn and scallop dumplings, beautiful fresh Whitstable native oysters and the list goes on... As if this wasn't enough, a myriad of delights on the deli counter on the way out. We could never tire of this place, or the innovative new dishes or even the old faithfuls). Just wish we were closer to Whitstable! One not to miss."

"This place is simply amazing. The shop is indeed well stocked with supplements, health foods especially organic, organic fruit and vegetables, and a whole host of organic cooking ingredients to and other health products I found apple cider, colloidal silver just to name a few. There is a selection of fresh healthy breads and a display cabinet with lots of tempting treats such as brownies as well as vegetarian wraps and sandwiches to take away. The food choice is indeed very very good. And on the 1st floor is a vegetarian cafe producing really great hot meals and of course organic coffee made with organic milk. There are vegetarian alternatives to milk, such as soya and almond milk. The cafe is extremely popular which goes to show just how good the food is. Vegans are catered for too. This establishment is well worth a visit when in Minehead I always eat lunch at the cafe because the food is so tasty"

"The cafe is a really frustrating place to visit as the size of the hot food portions are so inconsistent. They can generous, but more often than not they are miniscule to the point of being insulting, particularly given the price. I won't be rushing back as placing an order for hot food is like spinning a roulette wheel to see how lucky or unlucky you'll be."

"We were so impressed with the warm welcome, excellent menu and first class service that as soon as our starters arrived we asked our server to book us in again for the following night. The menu covers both their daytime bistro type offering with an a la carte selection which, while relatively small (around five choices for each course) made us wish we were staying longer so we could try everything. Starters were imaginative but the key was the quality of sauces with the mains. Good quality duck, chicken lamb etc had their taste well enhanced by sauces that nearly had us licking the plate. Portion size too was not neglected and overall it offered astounding value, with the mains typically around £20 which included a generous serving of fresh vegetables. Staff were just lovely and coped well with the external failure of their card machine and we enjoyed a chat with the chef at the end of the evening. Unfortunately Alnwick is a bit far from home for us to pop down but if we're in that area again we'll certainly be back."

"Ate here Wednesday with friends for a university reunion. Food was very good and small but interesting wine list. Excellent service. Place is very small and in centre of town. You need to book and that really means ringing. We were asked to preorder food, but that not a problem. Most of the dishes were served on clay pots, on a plate with serviette. It made them quite difficult to eat. Several of us had cassoulet very generous but you had to take meat out of the pot to cut it up. That meant removing the serviettes from under a very hot dish tricky! Note there is no service charge on the bill but they ask for tips in cash. Vegetarian options: Don't think there were any it's french. Kid friendliness: Not really suitable"

"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."
