"The food at this restaurant was amazing, however, we felt ignored during our visit. Despite it being Valentine's Day, the staff appeared to be under a lot of pressure and were not very friendly. We had to keep reminding them to take our order, bring our drinks, and give us the bill. Also, the lighting and decor seemed a little outdated. Nevertheless, the food was incredibly tasty! We will definitely be choosing this as our new favorite spot for takeout."

"While visiting London from Northern New York (USA), I stopped by here for lunch. The place was fairly empty, but the staff was friendly and inviting, and I was seated at a hightop near the bar. I asked for a 'bitter ', which confused the bartender but when asked for a recommendation, he referred me to a local craft brewed ale, which was quite good. The menu is based around BBQ (Tennessee style) and the decor is sort of wild west saloon type. I ordered the BBQ chopped pork sandwich with fries (as an extra). The fries were perfectly cooked, and had some sort of powder on them, maybe a light curry? The sandwich was OK and there was a lot of chopped pork on it as well as some sort of cabbage or slaw. There wasn 't any sort of smoked taste or sauce that I can really taste, but overall it was a nice sandwich, even if it didn 't really taste like BBQ to me. Overall, nice place with nice service."

"We only went here by chance as we wanted to find somewhere to eat near Euston. I'm so glad we did. The place looks nothing from outside, and you would have to look to find it. We were hungry and ordered aubergines/seafood, beef/spicy peppers and garlic pak choi all with rice. The first dish arrived within about 5 or 10 minutes straight from the wok and snarling hot. The rest of the food followed soon after. It was all delicious. We come from Manchester, where we have good oriental restaurants. However, I am going to try and arrange another London trip just so that we can go here. Loved it."

"We have dined at OMNI on multiple occasions, but tonight's experience was extremely disappointing. The rice was bland, the salad was overdressed and soggy, lacking any contrast for the main dishes. The Malaysian fried rendang chicken was a soggy mess with a tasteless, thick brown sauce. It seems like there may have been changes in the kitchen or it could be due to it being midweek, but the overall quality was very poor. It felt more like takeout in plastic containers rather than the high-quality restaurant food we have enjoyed in the past. We were left disappointed as the food did not live up to our previous experiences of flawless dining."

"Oh, what a delightful evening of fine dining and impeccable service! We were aware of the 2-hour table turnaround, a rule as sacred as ancient rituals but, alas, not consistently followed by mere mortals, I mean, restaurants. The food, an ephemeral delight that momentarily distracted us from impending eviction, particularly the oysters, which deserve an encore. After our grand feast, a proclamation was made in the most gracious manner: Out you go! No alternative seating offered, not even a spot at the bar to revel in our impending exile. It was a friend 's birthday, and what better way to celebrate than being unceremoniously kicked out before the dessert and the joyous serenade of Happy Birthday ? Seeking solace, I summoned the manager, who, in an act of managerial prowess, dispatched minions to chant the sacred mantra of the 2-hour table rule. In my quest for compensation, I was met with robotic responses and a generous offer to waive the discretionary service charge – a gesture as heartfelt as a rock. Not once were we graced with a reminder of the sacred 2-hour rule, nor did the waitstaff perform with the urgency befitting a Michelin-starred sprinter. The pièce de résistance? The epic saga to settle the bill, a riveting 25-minute ordeal where we could 've devoured a dessert, sang the birthday anthem, and maybe even choreograph a dance routine. Shocking service indeed, a performance deserving of a standing ovation – or maybe just a swift exit and a vow to never return."

"Well what a culinary treat we had in store this week as for my wife 's birthday we decided to do the big 'Simon Rogan double header ' of Mr Coopers for lunch on Tuesday, followed by the French on Wednesday. There 's no way you could compare these 2 restaurants as the experiences are like chalk and cheese, but throughout both visits the service was exceptional, the food fantastic and the overall agreement that we in Manchester are lucky to have these 2 relatively new kids on the block. Mr Coopers food is Modern British, with the emphasis being based on good seasonal and local ingredients where possible, all served up in a setting that was grand but relaxed, classy yet informal and a menu with so much variety that it will keep us coming back time and time again. I went for the 3 course set lunch menu £19.00 while my wife went off map by choosing from the a la carte selection although we do tend to share a lot between each others plates which was also reasonably priced. Between us we ate the starters of homemade corn bread with chicken livers and the crispy pork belly followed by mains of spiced monkfish with spinach and mash and a rib steak with truffle pudding that was simply divine. Now I love my food but I know my limitations so won 't be trying to come up with some sort of faux food critic description of each dish. All I 'll say is that the food was damn good! In fact I 'll say it was so good that you should bookmark Mr Coopers now and make it your next port of call if you haven 't been. We finished all this off with a slice of seasonal pumpkin pie and a couple of espressos. With the mains my wife had a cocktail of take me back to the summertime which was very refreshing and I had a pint of the Tatton Blonde which I 'm led to believe is the only place in the world to have it on tap Which brings me on to the beers. Now you 'll see that I 've given Mr Coopers 4 out of 5 and while I thought it was excellent, I can 't bring myself to award it 5 stars while the elephant in the room is still here. The beer selection is absolutely dreadful and fully seems to be blind to the fact that we 're in the middle of a craft beer revolution in the UK at the moment. Where is the Thornbridge, Red Willow and Marble? all fairly local breweries which would tie in really well with the concept of Mr Coopers, but instead the selection is reminiscent of a night down Deansgate Locks shudder... lager, lager, in fact make that **** lager and having a lunchtime Desperados with my perfectly cooked monkfish wasn 't exactly high on the agenda for me. But I 'm sure that they 're aware of this... and maybe the Midland is tied into a contract to stock these beers for a little longer... maybe...hopefully... Overall you 're talking £60 including service for all this at lunch time I would say money well spent. We 'll be back very soon now just sort out those beers!"

"Unfortunately I was not happy with this much anticipated Thai place in our town. The starters were so not right corn cakes are meant to be light, airy and full of kernels of sweet corn. We had some solid rounds of hard dough with some corn. The two sticks of chicken satay came with a sauce that tasted neither of peanuts or spice. I still don’t know what it was. For a Thai place where the sweet chilli sauce is just so insipid that it was inedible not impressed at all. Whilst my stirfry had some heat and taste, the pool of oil it swam in was enough to make Exxon jealous. The nicest dish was the chicken noodles. This place is EXPENSIVE and it’s not worth it. I literally gasped at the prices worse when it is not worth the price. Will not visit again."

"We booked the Brooklyln Bowl for an early dinner before we see a gig. The advantages were that we surpassed the queue for the venue and despite the first act on stage, before we were finished, we could still enjoy the music as the open screen between the restaurant and the elevated stage. It's a little dark! The food was on the expensive side for what it was, but very good. I had the fried chicken, swallowed potatoes and boiled veg, for Pommes and Coleslaw. When the chicken arrived, it had pommes and boiled veg! This was quickly fixed and the Koleslaw came. My partner has the pulled pig and explained it "very good". We both enjoyed a beer and an apple wine and the meal came over £40, so not the cheapest. Overall, however, I gave it a very good assessment for the joy of being so 'on the top' of the gig, and we would visit again on this basis."

"We visited this restaurant before a gig at KKs Steel Mill after we had read the reviews on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed. Staff were really friendly and we were seated immediately. Drinks service was prompt and we were given plenty of time to look at the extensive menu. We had salt and pepper squid to start and it was delicious. Mains one was a duck dish which was really tasty. The star of the show was the seafood dish in the fish shaped dish. It was packed with muscles, squid, fish...fabulous. We didn't have room for dessert but next time we are in town we will be back!"

"This restaurant is an expensive hobby, the best part of £300 for two with wine and service. I do sometimes wonder if we are paying to be there to please the chef or the chef is there to please us judging from the rules we should observe on the website. Luckily gone are the days of only taking cash, which sometimes necessitated a visit to the cash point at the end of the evening. However I digress, cards are obviously accepted now. The room is stark and soulless, more canteen than high end restaurant. On leaving, the feeling is more endurance rather than warmth, joy and money well spent. There is one menu, no choice, start time 7.00 p.m., arrive 6.45 p.m. be there or be square! Every one served the same course at the same time. To be honest I am not a massive fan of just warm food, which happens if your table is not first out of the kitchen. For me the big sin, no bread …….. Surely a restaurant like this should be able to present some sort of warm interesting bread. To be honest even just normal French bread would have been nice. Two amuse bouche were good and nicely presented as were the hake, and gilt edged bream dishes. The monkfish, a meaty fish, was rather tough with a green ravioli and green sauce which wasn’t for me. Perhaps a cerviche or grilled langustine as one of the courses would be a suggestion and also a change of texture. There were three puddings all very nice but perhaps a cheese course and two puddings may be preferable. To b honest, not a very relaxing experience!"

"What a great place. My girlfriend found POTL and we managed to get a table for 2 people and 2 dogs before 5pm on a Friday. The dishes are changed regularly so they will show you the boards of what is available. There are a number of tapas small plates as well as larger options. We had the seared tuna with mirin dip, scallops in Thai dressing, whole red mullet deep fried and cod. It was all amazing would definitely go back. And the service was great too. Very friendly."

"Disgusted. If I only could give zero stars , though would be a nice experience to bring my family here and have a few drinks during a warm and sunny day and my mood was totally ruined by the rude service received. The waiter/bartender that serve outside staring at us to get the order not even asking politely what we would love to drink I am horrified, we were treat like trush just because they thought we were tourist. This place deserve to shut if that’s the way they treat their guests Everything dirty and mosquitos everywhere never coming back that’s for sure"

"Four of us chose to book at The Victoria in Oxshott for our Sunday Lunch today. We rarely go out to eat as it is such a luxury these days and our usual choice The Onslow Arms in Clandon was full. We arrived at 12:45 to The Victoria and while there was a fire burning, it had not matured and the restaurant was a little chilly my wife kept her coat on for most of the meal . Our table was ready and our friends were already sitting at it. The Victoria is self designated as Fine Dining in Surrey yet there were no tablecloths something that is sadly lacking these days and yet, makes such a difference to the feel. As it was a Sunday, traditional roasts were available although chicken strangely was not. Only red meats available lamb, beef and pork yes, pork is, as you know, a red meat . My wife therefore chose fish and chips, one of us had the pork and the remainder, the beef. However, our friends also chose a starter each the soup and the beetroot/goats cheese mouse. The starters were enjoyed they were certainly presented well and apparently were very good . The mains arrived and I could see the disappointment on my wife 's face when a small battered piece of fish adorned the plate, placed in front of her. While it all tasted good, it was mostly batter the actual fish within was such that she had finished her dish before we were halfway through ours. At £26, it was rather insulting. The roasts were adequate but again, the amount of meat on our plates did not reflect the price it absolutely does not compare to other establishments. Deserts: we all had a desert a 'Marathon Bar, Aero, chocolate sorbet ' at £15 !!! , two of us had an unremarkable sticky toffee pudding ' £12 each but worth not much more than half that while my wife had the 'Pineapple carpaccio ' but she lucked out again as this was absolutely tiny! The service was adequate for which a service charge of £30 had been added to our bill . Summary This is not fine dining although the prices suggest it is. Having said that, the food was fine nothing special triple cooked roast potatoes were soggy not crunchy but the meat itself was tasty and perfectly cooked. Absolutely overpriced for what was provided there are so many better options available if you book in advance. Consequently, we would not return. A combined bill including a bottle of wine was virtually £270 far in excess of what we should be paying for four Sunday lunches. Parking: I did not park in a paid parking lot so it may be free on Sunday I do not know but there is not parking at the venue."

"This is a decent Chinese (Cantonese) restaurant with a wide range choice of food available to choose including Dim Sun serving for dinner. Dim Sum is served for lunch but not dinner, but I am not complaining. Wine list is decent enough for a Chinese restaurant to be honest. Food is good but a bit pricey but I am happy to pay for the food. The decor is a bit too red for my liking, more like a Western perception of the Far East Oriental, but it is still tasteful. The only issue I have is the paper napkins. With the price of the food, I would expect something more high end than some paper napkins. Service is ok, nothing too wow about it, just a usual Chinese restaurant service standard. Food 8.5/10, ambience 8/10, service 7/10, value for money 8/10. A restaurant I would come back again."

"Spectacular. We booked for an anniversary celebration, and it was everything we could have hoped for. An experience like this is a leap of faith and No.6 is a pair of safe hands. The food is exceptional. The wine pairing package was expensive but excellent, and really took the food to another level. What set No.6 apart was the service. Brilliantly friendly without being overbearing, knowledgeable without being irritable when asked stupid questions !! a shout out to the sommeliers! So many special touches ... an anniversary card, personalised menus, gifts to take away, a map of local ingredients and suppliers, and a follow up email was a lovely touch. The restaurant itself is small, but accommodates enough guests to keep 15 or so tables full, with enough staff to perfectly serve everyone, without feeling noisy, busy or stressful. I envy anyone who can eat there regularly, and will certainly be back!"

"Very nice place, I wasn't expecting to be this nice since its a bit far away from everything, but the food was delicious, we had some spicy soup and for main yellow curry chicken with rice (I forgot to take a picture). The meal was delicious, the prices are good and the service is great the ladies working there are super friendly people. Next time around I will be back trying the other items, there is a lot of dishes to choose from."

"WOW! What can we say!? Chris Katie catered lunch at our beautiful outdoor wedding at Moonacre, Sturminster Marshall. They had a fantastic layout and lots of menu options available several different burgers, wieners fries! They absolutely smashed the service and excelled at feeding a few more than expected too! They made us a gorgeous little personalised menu also which we thought was such a nice touch! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how amazing their food was even those who would never normally consider vegan options were blown away at how great everything tasted! They managed to positively influence even the most stubborn meat eaters of our guests to realise that they don’t need to miss out on flavour when choosing vegan options! That’s a huge win in our eyes! A couple of people even said it was the first ever vegan food they’d tried and they couldn’t get over how amazing it was! We told our guests about the Mighty Wieners restaurant in Bournemouth and will be bringing people back for more as they couldn’t wait to try more options! The day was such a huge success and Chris Katie did such an incredible job! We can’t recommend them enough, for food at their restaurant and wedding events catering! Vegetarian options: Excellent vegetarian and vegan options! Dietary restrictions: Served gluten free options! Kid friendliness: Excellent service friendly, warm and when above and beyond! Wheelchair accessibility: Perfect for full accessibility!"

This was THE best night out I have had in a LONG time. Thanks to the bar staff who accommodated my very peculiar drink request you remember? Price per person: £10–20"

"This restaurant is a hidden gem within the Forth Valley College. The food is cooked by the catering students but was much better than I've eaten in some other expensive restaurants. The quality and presentation of the whole meal was fantastic. Beautifully cooked and very tasty. Where else would you have a 3 course lunch for £12. Drink prices are also very reasonable. Service was quick and the table staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely will be visiting more often. Booking essential. Parking: Reserved for restaurant spaces in the College car park."
