"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."

"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 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!"

"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."

"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."

"I really enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of this restaurant; it feels like dining in a cozy friend’s living room. I would definitely come back to sample more dishes."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I used to visit this cafe regularly and used to enjoy generous slices of cake and coffee with friends and it was a regular haunt and a delight. Sought it out today after a long gap as back in the area and couldn’t believe how expensive it was. I realise cafes are struggling but people still want some value for money. Three small slices of cake easily half the slice size I recall at least, one muffin (dry) with three small teacup sized lattes and a tea £29.90. It’s a shame because we won’t go back again. I understand everyone is struggling but this is not value for money in any way. I see other comments relating to cost too and I’m not surprised."

"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 recently dined at this restaurant for brunch and it was a delightful experience. The price per person was between £10–20, which I found to be reasonable considering the quality of the food and service. The food was top-notch, earning a solid 5 out of 5 rating. I highly recommend trying the bakery items, particularly the focaccia, croissant, coffee cake, and sausage roll. Each dish was freshly made and bursting with flavor. The service was excellent as well, with attentive staff who made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also superb, earning another 5 out of 5 rating. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a delicious brunch experience."

"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."

"I visited Villa Romana for a meal with my boyfriend, having lived in Fareham for a couple of years, but never having eaten there before. The interior is lovely bare brick walls, low lighting, dark wood beams and a large bar as you go in.Service was very good friendly, prompt and helpful and the menu had a good balance between pasta dishes and also meat and fish main courses.The standard of food was very good both my starter (aubergine rolls with smoked cheese and mushroom) and my main (pasta with chicken, mushroom and asparagus) were delicious and with very generous servings I couldn't finish mine which is unusual.Unfortunately however, I found hairs (definitely not mine) in my main course which was rather off putting. I'm not overly fussy and tried not to let it dampen an otherwise lovely meal. I mentioned it to the waiter and he was very apologetic. However, there was no offer of a discount of free drink.I originally thought I'd go back, but unfortunately the memory of the hair has ruined it for me."

"Traditional country pub, I visited here early evening, 6pm having booked a few days early. When arrived we were expected, pub was quiet at this time in the evening. Ordered some drinks at the bar, was asked if I would like to set up a tab but couldn’t as I didn’t have a physical credit card (I use my phone for everything), no problem paid and took my seat at the table. Ordered sharing starter (breaded prawns with chilli dip to share), have to say they were lovely. Main course was fish&chips x2 . Served really quickly, fairly small portion and a bit skimpy on the chips, I counted 13 on my plate but more than enough mushy peas to fill the plate. What I found odd was half way through the meal, I was presented with the bill and asked to pay while eating my main. Ordered extra drinks and paid again during meal. I’m sure if they have had issues with ‘runners’ then i understand but this felt odd and detracted from the evening. Surely there is a more customer focussed approach? Real pity as it’s a lovely pub in a lovely location. It was an evening with my 16yo daughter."
