"Lovely spot right by the canal. Service was a little slow to start. They hit two of my pet peeves immediately-offered water we said still. Offered bread we said yes. Charged us £15 for two bottles of water and £10 for two small basket of bread. Charging for these items was not listed on the menu, nor mentioned by the staff. When I went to their website it noted Happy Hour-but failed to mention it was only for bar seating. All this said, my entree of sea bass was excellent. My partner had the brisket and was amazed how it just fell off the bone. Would go again, just not get clipped for water and bread."

"The restaurant did not have a table ready for us when we arrived, so we were seated at a shared table in the middle of the restaurant. We requested to move and were accommodated in a separate room. The food was not worth the price, as the portion sizes were inadequate. Our starters had to be canceled because they were served at the same time as the main course. Despite these issues, the staff was apologetic and comped us free hot drinks at the end of the meal."

"What a wonderful time we had. It was my partners birthday which the staff did not until after we arrived but they produced a small cake with a candle. We were offered seconds of beef and Yorkshire puddings and cheese to follow our dessert. The meal was delicious, the staff achieved a perfect balance between attentiveness and not being pushy, the wine was excellent and the surroundings were so comfortable and relaxed. We will definitely be back. Many, many thanks."

"Do not be fooled into thinking that this is an Italian restaurant, when the head waitress could not find our booking she informed us that they dont check open table bookings any more, they did find the booking and set a table for us anyway, then we chose food from the set menu 2 courses for £16.95 each, when the bill came they had charged from the main menu, we had already paid the bill when this was discovered, we pointed out that we had chosen from the set menu they then set about trying to rectify there mistake, after fifteen minutes they finallt gave up say that accounts would fix this later and refund the difference to the card, guest relations manager then informed us we would be invited back for lunch because of the inconveinence caused(still waiting on that call)"

"We really wanted to enjoy this meal more than we did, although the staff and service were great, so friendly and attentive, the food was not as good as it could have been. Starters were excellent, but the main meals just didn’t hit the spot, the emphasis appeared to be on presentation and volume (HUGE portions) rather than quality and attention to detail. As an example, the mussels I had were either not as fresh as advertised or had been overdone as they were chewy and tasteless, many of the shells were broken which meant the sauce was gritty, and I wasn’t given a finger bowl or separate dish for the shells; I did inform the waitress that the mussels had not been good, however she did not ask for any other information or feedback for the kitchen. I had eaten less than half of them (and that was with the help of my fellow diners) but was not offered a reduction on the bill. The desserts were lovely, however. I would probably give them another try in the future, as it was not awful but if it were to be a similar experience then I would not return. Maybe we were just unlucky on this occasion."

"Fantastic meal my beef wellington was the best I have ever had. The ribs,skate and linguine were all brilliant Unfortunately we were seated in the back of the restaurant in a booth with now windows and no view of the restaurant We were left by the staff having to in three occasions go to the bay for service We even had to wait 15 minutes for someone to ask us if we required dessert even though the restaurant was pretty empty by now Shame about the service"

"The breakfast was brilliant, really tasty and great value. The service was really disappointed though, friendly staff but just need to sort it out a bit. We ordered 4 breakfasts and soon after 3 arrived. The fourth order was off the menu but we hadn't been told and so had to order again from scratch, and even then the order was wrong despite it being checked twice. Drinks arrived after food and seemed chaotic. A shame really as the food was really really good!"

"Nice size and cheerful, relaxed atmosphere. Just pretty pricey for what it is, especially if you're on a student budget. Friendly service, despite the slightly weird lack of water jugs you'll be given a glass of water which is then refilled randomly. Food was nice and there is a good range of choice (including for veggies), but the pricing is just too high. Especially considering the place's proximity to city centre and therefore so many colleges and student accommodations, there should at least be student discount. We were charged around £9 for a very small dish of around 5 pieces of chilli squid, with a tiny dish of sauce that barely lasted. Soups are really yummy but, again, too expensive. The cheapest one is wonton and is around £13, for which i was expecting a portion far bigger than the medium bowl I got. Overall: nice, cheery experience, but the bill was over £50 for two people without drinks."

"got a tad early at 8 minutes and were graciously accompanied to our table. all very exactly together with linen napkins. I asked if we wanted to drink. then our orders were taken over. the chicken wings were juicy, tender and much meat! the BBQ sauce was excellent. delicious. the chef cooks the steaks on a cast iron rust on a wood fire. he checks the degree of cooking by gently pressing with his hand. the filet steak, medium rare, was cooked to perfection. the steak was reinforced with the highest quality delicate and tasteful by the smoke from the wood fire. the food was top notch and the service from the chef and waiter was faultless. attentive, friendly and friendly. we're coming back, of course. that was up there with the best in berkshire. thanks to the staff of tonight for their exceptional service. the parking lot was full, but after 18 clock the public parking is free. after 9 clock the toll bridge is free. @herd restaurant. marketing. no need to comment. review speaks for itself!"

"I was really looking forward to visiting this restaurant and finally decided to go with some friends. I enjoy the concept of choosing your own dishes, but it can get pricey if you're not careful. Overall, I loved most of the food and had a great time. I gave it a 3.5 rating mainly because of the enjoyable memories made with my friends."

"The setup at the cafe was a bit confusing - it seemed like we were expected to sit down first and then order at the till, which was inconvenient. Alternatively, we could have gone straight to the till to order, but this was not made clear by the staff. When I questioned the lady at the till about the pricing, she pointed out that the prices were listed on a menu that was not offered to us for dine-in. I felt the prices were not clearly displayed or communicated. Even the board only showed takeaway prices for a full English breakfast, not the dine-in price. It seemed strange, as most people wouldn't think to take away a full English breakfast. After a couple of inquiries and a double check of the door sign, I realized my mistake in overlooking the 'takeaway price' notice. An Indian lady who worked there proceeded to raise her voice and scold me about the pricing, which was embarrassing and unnecessary. Despite the unpleasant encounter with the staff member, the food was enjoyable. However, if I were to visit this cafe again, I hope that individual is no longer working there. With my experience as a former server of 10 years, I believe such behavior has no place in the hospitality industry."

"I was recommended this restaurant by my elders, as it's the venue for Parkinson's meetings. The staff were well-trained, polite, and very helpful. I enjoyed the Sunday dinner, particularly the roasted vegetables, which were excellent. The winter garden is lovely, offering a beautiful view. We'll definitely be back soon."

"we both found the dessert the highlight of our meal and remembered our school days. we have both decided for the heavenly ripple chocolate mousse, which was absolutely heavenly. I loved celestial nasty as a child and from any inexplicable reason had forgotten his existence in the last decades or something. the sweet celestial taste, which was cut through the chocolate, was divine and had both of us in raptures."

"Visited with friends and asked about the cocktail offers at the bar , the young girl with fair hair in plaits replied can you wait for a minuite as I am stressed , I replied oh I’m sorry to hear that and she did not reply … she continued making a cocktail in a dirty jug and at that point I walked out with friends , I thought it was maybe a one off so returned again just a week later and again we were not greeted and got ignored at the bar while they all chatted , place was very dirty and again the cocktail jug and glasses were disgusting , there is no way I would return here , worse place in Durham … for the record if was a blonde girl and a dark headed guy and 2 young girls both very rude and clearly not trained as it was the same girl that told me she was stressed the week before ."

"We walked in with a party of 8 at 10p and the restaurant was empty. The kitchen was about to close at 10:30. Despite this, all of the wait staff was very polite and accommodating. They took our orders quickly and our meals were put on the table in short order. The food was hot and delicious. We were very thankful and would like the staff to know it!!!"

"When we arrived the main bar/restaurant was full of smoke, we were seated in the conservatory away from most of the smoke, we were asked three times in quick succession if we were ready to order and I ordered one starter and was given two and i refused one of them but they gave it free of charge. When the main course arrived, I had pork and one of the elements to the dish was excessively salty. When we finished the main course I asked to speak to the manager and mentioned the points I have raised and also that it was a very rushed experience that we did not enjoy. We had two coffees that I was not charged for on the final bill but I was very surprised to see a service charge on the bill which I unfortunately paid almost out of embarrassment. I will not be returning."

"We have now enjoyed a Sunday lunch, which was really good quality food, in a lively setting, we even had background music! Only slight criticism was the tables were a bit close to each other but we were a party of 10, the que for food was also a bit disconcerting as there was a constant flow of people brushing against our seats. The two occasions we have had afternoon tea we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The first time we were given a cup of coffee the second time we were given a pot and were told we could ask for a refill. We have also been to a themed night {Indian} the food was to the normal high standard but again we felt hemmed in and due to our table position were unable to see the dancers, who did not perform for very long. Overall really good food but a bit crowded for Sunday lunch and themed nights."

"Didn’t realised it was Sunday roast day. But it’s fine. We like roasts. Starter was ok, my husband had prawn cocktails and I had mushroom. Main my husband had pork and I had roast chicken instead of beef. They listen to what I want it and delivered. Parsnip was super nice, but Yorkshire was almost burnt. We had profiteroles for dessert, it was tasteless tho, she said with Bailey chocolate sauce but I can’t taste the Bailey. Service was brilliant and the waitress also happy and chatty."

"Chutneys offers a great vegetarian lunch buffet. It is one of a small number of restaurants on Drummond Street doping so, and a fraction cheaper than some of the better known names, but the food is every bit as good and offers excellent value. There's a good selection of cold salads often centred round pulses with warm onion bhajis and roti to start the roti were the only slightly disappointing part of the whole meal as they were a little tough ! . Main dishes includes lentils, chickpeas, mushrooms and cauliflower in distinctive curries, with rice and a good selection of pickles. And there's also dessert with milk jellies and a nice variety of fresh fruit. I had a sparkling lemon and mint drink made to order not from a can it was very nice too, but slightly expensive. But they will just provide you with tap water, and also sell lassis. Note that it's not vegan I heard another diner ask which dishes were, and most were not vegan as many contain yoghurt or ghee. But for vegetarians it's great! Note that the buffet is not served at weekends, I believe."
