"large eating and service, as one would expect from coq d 'argent. a little disturbing was that the opentable booking through it as an outdoor / all fresco booking (31 dez,! which was not mentioned everywhere in the opentable booking information. the second time has happened to us now when we book with opentable in various restaurants and start thinking that this is a malus 'worn' from restaurants for not to book directly about them?! leaving was a little time-consuming as it took a good 5 minutes to return the weights."

"Hoi Polloi is a cool retro/hipster place to eat with 70's retro design. So if your criteria for a good restaurant is a modern/updated flashing design, Hoi Polloi is not the place for you. We came for dinner and we were left with a big smile on our faces. The selection on the menu is nice, though it's definitely not one of these menus that take you hours to read, leaving you confused with endless options, and still there's enough selection for everyone. The food was great, nice portions, well made. Hospitality was great and the staff was handy in recommending drinks. We really enjoyed our dinner. Thanks for the experience."

"Busy restaurant and a disappointing start ending up at the worst table in the restaurant beside the hatch where all the dirty dishes are dumped. If booking I would suggest adding a note not to get this table for dinner. 2 steak meals were warm at best and despite being sent back only the plate came back with more heat. One other meal was good and enjoyable. Great server who was helpful and tried to negotiate an adjustment to the bill at the end of the meal which started off with an odd suggestion for a reduction to the overall cost but we got there in the end. No discussion with management, who didn't seem to want to deal with any difficult conversation, but the bill outcome and complimentary round of drinks helped with a disappointing visit. Staff serving tables were great and to be commended for taking on responsibility that would I would have suggested should have been handled by the duty manager."

"Made plans to come here for lunch after a morning visit to Camera Obscura which is just a little way up the mile. Been here before years ago loved it…love it still! Great ambience, fantastic service and amazing food all hot, fresh and tasty. Large portions too! I can definitely recommend the haggis bites they’re delicious. Shout out to our sever Sophie who was lovely; welcoming, friendly efficient. Love this place will return."

"I am going to post my âtrip advisor review â because honestly I have given this too much time already. No word from my personal email to the restaurant. Vacillating between Terrible and Poor This is probably my meal at Tom's Kitchen since it opened. I am a huge long time fan of Tom Aitkens, his innovative delivery and passion about both fine food and food for the people. Some years ago he had a Fish Market/ Fish and Chippery a bit down the road on Cale Street. I have a huge amount of respect for his dedication towards sustainable food sources and sustainable fishing.. BUT if this was my meal at Tom's Kitchen this meal and the meal about months ago fall into the basket of the worst dining experiences of the Century. I only rebooked because I received an email in October that their difficulties had been sorted out. Apparently not as the meal was not only deja vu but worse. We were seated at an awful table away from the main part of the dining area despite having booked about weeks earlier. No one was seated near us for the duration of our meal. We were served the wrong bottle of champagne and when we pointed this out there was a bit of a scene. The service was very slow, and the food (well it was a Monday but the fish and chips had a fishy suspect flavour). We were actually about to pay and leave before our food arrived hoping to walk into. nearby Thai restaurant but the food arrived before we could ask for the bill. I don't know what to say. I can neither recommend the restaurant or ever even consider returning Date of visit: December"

"The pre-theater set menu at this restaurant was very good, but unfortunately, our friend arrived at 6:32 and was told it was no longer available. Instead, he had to order a la carte, which resulted in him only getting a soup before going elsewhere for a sandwich. It would have been more profitable for the restaurant to offer the set menu. This was not a good customer experience and hopefully they will improve in the future."

"from beginning to end, this can only be described as one of my worst restaurants experiences. we were a little early on our table so we were invited to stand at the bar to wait for our table. we waited and waited and waited for twenty minutes to serve and there was only one person in front of us. We were totally ignored while the two people behind the bar took care of the table orders. eating ordered and when it came, it was wrong so that the food of my wife had to go back. another order was also wrong and they promised to bring the fritten asap. they came when we all finished our eating. the food of my wife came back right, but the plate was full of fat and pommes was microwave. eating all looked completely inconspicuous. the manager took the cost for the meal of my wife from the bill and the riders who never arrived but nothing for our experience or offered more drinks. unnecessary to say that we never go back. it felt as if they really did not deal with the volume of people."

"Skylon is a curate 's egg. The location with stunning wide river view is hard to beat, but you are literally paying for that. The staff are welcoming and attentive (apart from not taking coats, which are hard to accomodate at the tables . Skylon 's prices in particular on drinks are over the top for the fare on offer. Skylon is the 'brasserie ' end ' of the room, but two of us still paid £150 for 2 courses each and a £40 bottle of wine between us (one of few 'affordable ' options on the list . My halibut was delicious but inexcusably tepid it was cooked OK so must have sat around before despatch to table. Frankly if I have to spend that much to enjoy this venue I will stick to the Skylon Grill at the other end of the room in future at least there are tablecloths and comfy seats there ; (However, I was lucky not to book there this time there was a large and very noisy party taking place in the Grill . Heads up for the over 40 's the dim lighting makes a nice ambience but doesn 't work well with menus printed in grey, small font. Reading glasses and phone light recommended!"

"I opted for the healthiest thing on the menu! Not like me but I felt like my body needed it, it was immense, so many flavours on one plate with lovely grilled chicken Staff were super friendly and attentive especially to my elderly mum in her wheelchair My mum is a super complainer and she never moaned once, so that's a feat in itself, well done lol"

"my friend and I went to capitulate for dinner to celebrate his birthday, as was capitula, we thought the only decent restaurant in blackheath. all the others seem to be pushing down quickly. we have been in the past often in the capitulas, and the food and services were good we had no appetizers and ordered only one main meal (black foam and black bell), because we were not huge hungry because we were eating a lot of birthday cakes earlier! we had a glass of wine and were offered a piece of bread. 35 minutes later we waited for our food. in this time no one came to ask if we were in order or offer us more drinks. I asked the manager if our food was ready. he said it would be 5 minutes without a statement of delay then disappeared 10 minutes later there was no sign of food or manager. That is why we decided to go because we lost interest in eating. we have to go and the manager came by. he told us the delay was due to a big party in the ground floor. this was not the case, there was a group of 8 people who had finished their meal for a long time. we were there earlier when it was much more business and the service was not so bad. while we waited, we saw a customer who had finished their meal, slipped £20 into the manager hand when he left. Perhaps the workers need bribe to provide good services? it is such a scandal, but another blackheath restaurant has become complicit and believes that it with the treatment of its customers without respect. I will vote for one with my feet and will not eat again in this restaurant. I will also leave everyone I don't know to go there"

"I was in a couple of times, last to the breakfast. I would have to compete with some of the other reviewers that eating is great, the service is good, but sometimes obstructed by a lack of sufficient English and it will be very fast loud if there is a reasonable number of people. Don't take that table on the stairs, either I've always been afraid that I'm standing backwards and falling down, or that I'm being cheated by someone who's coming in a hurry. even on weekdays, the desire is even worse when the young things come after work for a drink. once I left without waiting for dessert or coffee, as the antik at the bar has got a bit much. eat good sorts, good...read more"

"The Filling Station, also known as the Recharge Station, is a chain of restaurants that some people refer to as American style, located throughout the United Kingdom but mainly in Scotland. Each location offers a mix of local and British dishes, making it a bit of a hybrid between a traditional American restaurant and something more unique. The prices are reasonable and the food is of good quality. The menu includes Scottish specialties like haggis, pasta, and burgers, along with a selection of wines and decent beers (served from 10:00 am to midnight). The modern atmosphere and decor make it a great spot for a casual meal or a quick bite, living up to its name as a place to refuel with good food."

"We regularly go to the Halfway St. branch for their burgers. My wife is a vegan and judges that their vegan burgers are the best she's had. Including upmarket central London restaurants where she has paid double. On a recent visit we paid cash and it seems that two of the new plastic £10 notes had stuck together in my wallet and I unwittingly handed over £10 too much. Our server came back to our table and returned the £10 to me. Really good and varied food, great friendly service and integrity as well. A winning combination."

"I experienced some unfriendly service during my visit. After we received our starters, our plates were promptly cleared as soon as we finished, and our main courses were served without any space in between. This felt quite unacceptable. It seemed like we were rushed to eat and leave. Additionally, the waitstaff stood too close to our table, which made it uncomfortable to have a private conversation. It's really disappointing because the food was actually lovely, but I unfortunately wouldn't choose to return."

"The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere and pleasant ambiance. The menu was typical and offered comfort food options. The portions were large, but overall the food was somewhat disappointing, particularly the side of child chips (which were replaced fairly)."

"Well what can I say we were looking for food went here about 5pm and was fully booked, went for a walk about and went back couple hours later and a really lovely friendly man showed us to a table upstairs the place really busy and atmosphere really lovely, we later found out man owned restaurant. From beginning to end was amazing place, Waitress so helpful and gave us taxi numbers, and Ryan was brilliant and chatting and being busy whilst taking time for customers, food was really good and hot I had chicken Shuish and my partner had rack of ribs, menu good and drinks lovely we had cocktails. Place on back street of Blackpool near Blackpool Tower. Restaurant clean and tidy and so well run would absolutely recommend and use again next time in Blackpool."

"- terrifying service. Cause for my low rating...a table on opentable for a business lunch were booked, we were told when we turned to the restaurant with our customers that, although they could see that we had booked a table on opentable that they had no tables available and that we had to go to another place. this booking was made 2 weeks in advance and at no point had called the restaurant to say that they had no availability as they had our booking in advance. Instead, they were completely unapologetic. with the customer in tow we had the embarrassing situation to find another restaurant in a week before Christmas, which is not possible. absolutely not what I expect from a restaurant with a call like aviary"
