"we've been coming to leifick for many years. it is a special place for us where we stayed after our high time. we have waited 3 years to visit kovid again and were really looking forward to them, it just didn't feel as friendly as before. we booked well in advance and requested a window table, this was not arranged. the person who served us (potentially the wut) seemed completely free, not very warm and chatting made us feel a little disappointed. After we drove all the way out of london, we were sad that this was our first negative experience in over 10 years. the eating was nice and they will never be able to mistake this breathtaking view. hopes for a warm welcome at the next visit!"

"We visited as a family of 4 (two adults and two children) on Saturday 9 September. I hadn't told the restaurant that it was my birthday, but we were treated to a perfect, canal-side table. The food was, without exception, excellent. When I booked, I was concerned that this very beautiful restaurant may not be suitable for a family with young children. I needn't have worried. The staff were all very helpful and considerate to the children as well as to us. My 9 year old daughter ordered the calamari, and asked for it without the chilli and spring onion (just plain). Unfortunately the calamari had been cooked in a chilli batter, so was very spicy, and she could not eat it. When I apologetically told the wait staff, they happily replaced it with some popcorn shrimp, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Excellent service. The watermelon cooler cocktail was delicious, and perfect on such a hot day. Thank you, Summerhouse. We will certainly be back. A really lovely way to celebrate my birthday with my family."

"The Wagamama restaurant in Reading is in a good location close to the Oracle. The place itself was ok but the music was too loud and the atmosphere reminded me of school cafeterias. They have a vegan and gluten-free menu although only one dish was gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan. The quality of the food is good and very fresh. Unfortunately, our table wasn’t cleaned before we were placed so we had to sit next to a lonely shrimp, in addition we weren’t given cutlery for the soup-like curry nor was the staff properly trained to serve wine and drinks. In a nutshell: ok but nothing special or remarkable about this place."

"Having made a booking via OpenTable and receiving a confirmation email, 24 hours later had a phone call from Browns to say they could offer me a table at 5pm or 9pm but not at 7pm which was the time of my booking. No apologies just that the way it is. OpenTable just blamed Browns and said I could always phone the restaurant to confirm a booking, not seeing the ridiculousness of that suggestion as it renders their platform to irrelevance. So I am giving an all round one star, but to be clear we did not eat there."

"This was my third visit and I loved it. They have the best brunch menu with breakfast and lunch choices and the waiters top your prosecco glass up very frequently! The service is great. Also, I love that it’s three courses as you feel it is good value for money and like a proper meal. One tip-lose the blue macaroon! :o)"

"it took about 515 o'clock, but drinks don't order up to 532 o'clock. eat when it came good enough for a small city pub, not for level expected in the city like this. the atmosphere was great, but flowering. would not go back soon, although sad"

"Our first visit but it won't be our last. The food was good but the fishcakes should have been served with fries or potatoes. Serving them with only salad is not sufficient or value for money. Isabella was excellent as were all the staff. The person who greeted us at the door was rather subdued towards our arrival and did not create the ideal first impression. I do not want to overplay this and no one should be reprimanded but a smile sends a powerful message."

"The food was above average, I had cod with chorizo which was beautifully cooked although the chorizo looked like it had been boiled rather than pan fried. Service was very good, capable and attentive staff. The thing that spoiled the evening was the noise level, you shouldn't have to shout to participate in a conversation but within a group of six of us, this is what we had to do as the background noise was so loud. It tended to make the evening rather waring and it was a relief to leave for somewhere quieter. Overall I thought the prices were high for the general ambience and quality."

"Had dinner with a friend tonight! The food was delicious and well presented, the ambiance was perfect, and our waiter, Dominic, provided exceptional service with his attentiveness. Definitely a place worth recommending, and we're already planning our next visit!"

"Appalling service! We were the forgotten table; from the beginning to the end, the service was slow, and the waiter was not friendly at all. We asked for the manager twice, and when he finally came, we explained the whole situation, and he gave us the excuse they didn't have enough staff (which they didn't indeed), we asked for the bill, and it took another 15 minutes!!! At this point, we were there for 4 hours, and there was no patience left! Unbelievable lack of customer service! I stood up and said if they didn't bring the bill immediately, we'd leave without paying! In 30 seconds, the bill was on our table. NEVER AGAIN!!!!"

"Attending Browns for a Christmas Dinner with my wife. Tldr: The food was fantastic, but the atmosphere was lacking and the live music timing was moved. We have attended Browns a few times before over the years for different events and decided for it as the Christmas date night for my wife and I. We specifically booked after 7 on a Sunday as we were told that live music would be played after that time and we wanted that ambience (we have been before when piano music was playing). When we got there we found that the live music had ended at 7, so we had booked later for no reason. Instead of the quiet and romantic evening we planned, the venue was very very bright, loud music was playing and although the staff were attentive we felt it lacking. The wine was very expensive for what it was (you expect a 40 quid bottle to be more than 1 year old and not a screw top, at least), and looked, smelled, and tasted like a 7 quid bottle from Tesco. The food was amazing, we had the festive menu and it was splendid. The portion sizes were good too. I would mark it 6/10 for the night we expected. But we may return if loud and bright is needed (like a friends night out meal for example) but definitely not a romantic time."

"While heading towards Marylebone station, we were in search of a quality restaurant and wanted to avoid cafes, pubs, and chain fast food stores. We stumbled upon The Potting Shed and were immediately impressed upon entering as we were greeted by cheerful staff. Our waitress from Italy was charming, and we also had a delightful chat with Joe, the Executive Head Chef of the hotel group. The food was absolutely fantastic, impressing us serious foodies with its presentation, quality, and freshly prepared content. If you're in need of a warm, comfortable, and excellent restaurant just three minutes away from Marylebone Station, we highly recommend visiting The Potting Shed – you won't be disappointed."

"After attending an afternoon show at the theatre on a Sunday near Christmas, we decided to have a meal at this restaurant. The atmosphere was quite lively with several groups of diners, making it somewhat noisy. I ordered the Sunday roast, but regretted my choice as the vegetables tasted old and had likely been sitting out for a while. The beef, however, was delicious. My friend opted for the salmon, which she enjoyed. Our desserts were satisfying. The staff were all friendly and attentive, although the service was slow. Overall, the experience was mixed."

"I very rarely write negative reviews but these guys are just a complete shambles. Waited half an hour to be seated at a reserved table, surly and inefficient waiting staff with can’t-do attitudes. Highly recommend you avoid spending your time or money here..!"

"I recently celebrated my friend's birthday at this restaurant and had an amazing experience. The food and drinks were reasonably priced and the atmosphere was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. My partner and I shared the roll combo, which was more than enough for us. The lobster roll was delicious and a unique twist on a classic dish. Overall, I have nothing negative to say and would definitely come back. I gave it 4 stars because they cannot accommodate groups larger than 8, which meant our group of 12 had to sit separately."

"The service from start to finish was slow and poor. We had to request our drinks, the food was dry and unappetizing. The pasta was heavy, the steak didn't resemble steak, and the egg on the schnitzel was overcooked and tough. When we asked the waiter to clean the table after our main course, he mistakenly sprayed it with detergent, getting some on us. The desserts were average at best. Despite arriving at 6:30 PM to an empty restaurant, the food quality and service were extremely disappointing. We had assumed the restaurant would remain open until midnight as stated on their website, but the staff informed us that they typically closed around 8 PM when business slowed. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant."

"I usually don't write reviews, but I feel the need to do so now. My husband and I went to Browns on a Friday evening. I anticipated it being crowded and busy, but I did not expect the poor service we received. The evening started off well with our drinks and starter arriving promptly. However, our waitress forgot to place our meal order which resulted in a long wait for our main course. Despite her apology, we waited a considerable amount of time for our food, even watching other tables get served twice before us. The wait for our check was also extended. Our once cheerful and friendly waitress seemed to sense our dissatisfaction, as she disappeared and we waited 15 minutes for our check which she brought with a scowl. The food was decent, but the overall service was lacking."

"I received an email saying trip advisor thought I was referring to the wrong business. I am referring to the restaurant Olio in the hotel, Homewood, Freshford, Bath. I admit at first I said the advertising suggests a contemporary and enjoyable restaurant in a relaxing...environment but after reading the website, relaxing is mentioned at breakfast times only. But, having previously had a number of enjoyable lunches here before, decided to book an evening meal and asked our friends to join. The dome we had, which are currently a feature of their terrace was lovely, as was the salad, that’s about it. Poor service and a culture that allows people to shout, sing and yell all evening, knowing it’s impacting everyone around them, is not a place for me. Being greeted at reception and told to sit in the bar, to waiting minutes for a drink, a further minute delay to the table. To effectively a “heat up” of meat on the BBQ, and one person serving those in terrace, led to a disappointing experience all round. When I asked if the behaviour of the group is accepted as the norm, I was told the group visit weekly and became clear the restaurant feels they have to accommodate such poor behaviour. It’s a shame, I had booked for friends to come back in a couple of weeks as well as further booking later in the autumn and have now be cancelled the bookings."

"We (myself and friends) booked a table for for Saturday at The food and drinks were very good, however the service was very slow. The waitress was very slow to take our drinks orders and bring them over to our table, even though the bar and restaurant was very quiet. The staff behind and around the bar were stood laughing rather than waiting on tables. Our food arrived and was very good, however we did ask the waitress for some wine to have with the meal. The waitress must have forgotten we had asked as she returned minutes later to ask if everything was ok with the meal, at which point we had to remind her we had ordered the wine. The waitress then took another minutes to bring said wine, at which point we had completely finished the meal. They also add a service charge on the bill, which we asked to be removed as the service was not good. This is itself is quite awkward for diners to have to do, as we did not want to be impolite, however we did not feel that we should have to pay this as the service was disappointingly slow."
