"I ordered three dishes: Salmon nigiri, takoyaki and chicken katsu curry. The food was good overall although I have a few complaints. They are unaccommodating to customers with dietary restrictions (I cannot have alcohol) and they only stock alcohol based soy sauce according to the staff. I had to have my sushi plain without the soy sauce unfortunately which is a shame. Secondly I don’t particular like the way they serve chicken katsu curry with rice in a small plastic bowl which keeps moving around the table every time I’m trying to scoop out the rice. The katsu chicken was delicious but the katsu curry could do with a bit more seasoning. I wish they have non alcohol based soy sauce alternative otherwise I would return to this restaurant."

"Extremely loud and akin to a children’s playground. Music so loud that I could hear the person directly across the table. Service ok- very busy. Food dreadful- we had the platter and it was just masses of meat with a lot of greasy fat. Onion rings were undercooked and tasteless. Chicken wings ok but nothing special. Nothing special about the meal to warrant the price tag. Don’t know what the hype is about. Would never go back."

"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."

"Once they entered the omni cafe and examined the menu, we could say that we visited something special somewhere. the lunch menu offered 6/10 exciting vegan options and a large selection on the side as well. we ordered the banh mi and a mango, chili, erdnuss and tofu Vietnamese salat with a side of sweet knuckles in a soy and sesame broth. the Vietnamese salate was lively, fresh and aromatic with a series of textures and perfectly cooked and seasoned tofu, while the banh mi was crisp, bursting with taste and well seasoned. again the tofu was absolutely excellent. the dumplings were also delicious and a perfect companion to the net. Overall we spent just over £30, what some can say is expensive, but if the quality of eating is so good, it doesn't matter to them to pay something extra. the owners have a great decor and atmosphere here, with nice staff and I cannot expect to come back."

"It lives up to its name. This was a last minute decision to visit for my 5th anniversary with my partner. We searched most romantic restaurants in London and Bob Bob Ricard continuously topped each list so we decided to give it a shot. The only critiques that we could see from reviews was just a heads up about the price. They weren 't wrong, it is pretty pricey, but the service was really great. Our waiter, Cristiano was very friendly and whenever we had finished our plate or drink, the waiters were quick to take our plate or refill our drink. We stayed in the blue room per recommendations in the reviews and I 'm happy about our decision. The red room is beautiful and you should check it out, but it 's much louder than the blue room. Overall, I 'd be happy to return, the chicken and champagne pie was a hit with the both of us, along with the truffle chips. Thanks for a great time :"

"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!"

"Booked this late on Friday, for Saturday night. Our first visit to Sassi's, and a bit worried as there was no issue, plenty of space for 4. We arrived on time and taken straight to our table. The prawn crackers arrived whilst we deliberated over the menu. Written in Thai (with clear descriptions beneath). We had a mixture of starters and main courses, these included, Thai chicken cakes, deep fried crab, Stir fried mushroom with cashew nuts, chicken stir-fry with oyster sauce and of course a Thai Green Curry. Additions of jasmine rice, noodles and stir-fry veg. 4 bottles of London Pride, a G and a soda later and we asked for the bill. Under £85, for 4 people including drinks. Cannot understand why Sassi's isn't packed. The service was great, not too much and was only asked about the food or drink when we were between eating and talking. A GEM of a place."

"We booked the Brooklyln Bowl for an early dinner before watching a gig. The benefits were that we bypassed the queue for the venue and despite the first act coming on stage, before we had finished, we were able to still enjoy the music, due the open screen between the restaurant and the raised stage. It is somewhat dark as a result! The food was on the expensive side for what it was, but very good. I had the fried chicken, swapping mashed potatoes and cooked veg, for fries and coleslaw. When the chicken arrived it had fries and cooked veg! This was quickly remedied and the coleslaw came. My partner has the pulled pork and declared it 'very good '. We both enjoyed a beer and a cider and the meal came to over £40, so not the cheapest. However, overall I have given it a very good rating, for the enjoyment of being so 'on top ' of the gig and we would visit again on that 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!"

"On arrival we felt the restaurant was cold so a few of us had to keep our coats on until it warmed up! The lighting was also very bright with bare wood tables, no candles so our initial feeling was that it was more of a cafe feel than a restaurant. Service was very friendly but we didn't feel it matched the £95/head price tag (asking for water, passing plates/cutlery around the table and having to ask for water). We had a wine flight which we would expect the bottle to be brought to the table and corked, introducing the wine rather than a tray of ready-made glasses. Most food dishes were good (one very good). Nice canapés but no bread which I feel should be served with every meal. Nice food and friendly service but at £95 a head we were expecting more."

"Punching above it’s weight in the seaside town of Padstein, it doesn’t get more convivial than this. The environs are cosy as in a we’re sitting around a barrel in a fishmonger’s kitchen kind of way. Make no mistake seafood is challenging. Pleasing everyone is difficult. On one hand you have fruits de mer served on a platter of ice while on the other we have dishes that delight without overwhelming the star of the show. If you’re not squeamish about prodding what goes on your plate then you yourself can select the clearest eyed and reddest gill piscine produce this side of the seashore. Be prepared as some of the crustaceans can nip back. The mackerel was a revelation. It had umami without being overly unctuous. I sensed charcoal flavours on the crunchy skin but did not see a BBQ grill in the kitchen. Order 2 so you don’t have to share. They eschewed beer batter in preference to tempura and my son’s hake was the better for it. My wife and I are still talking about that seafood stew. It was recommended by another patron and as we were tucking into it with gusto, saw others observing us and uttering that infamous line from ‘When Harry met Sally’. The waitstaff are absolute jewels but not magicians. Book early. I hear tables are still available in 2020."

"If you’re planning on getting the ala carte please don’t. Charge you 30 gbp to not even get completely full. Left there after with pretty much an empty stomach. Probably the worst place in the whole market that you could go to. For your own sake, if you’re a big eater, don’t go there unless you’re trying to spend a hefty penny for mediocre sushi"

"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 was our first visit to the restaurant, so we decided to try several dishes and share them. We couldn't finish everything, so I asked to have the remaining food packed up. To my surprise, they charged £1 for each takeaway box. We dine out in London regularly and have never encountered this kind of charge before. The reasons they gave for the charge varied from "Everyone does it now" (which I know is not true, as I was at Chinatown last night) to "We need to cover our expenses". Considering this is not a budget restaurant, I expect better service. The idea of discouraging customers from ordering too much food seems like a poor business strategy, especially if they are struggling financially. I dine out to enjoy good food, not to deal with inconveniences or arguments with the staff, so unfortunately we will not be returning."

"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."

"Awful place. Expensive but with no service to justify it. Ordered a bottle of Prosecco and they didn’t bother to open it, or give us an ice bucket. Yes that may sound posh, but when you spend £35 for a bottle you expect that. We weren’t allowed a jug of water and we witnessed an argument over who was serving the ice between the staff. Dinner was served in boxes and we were told to get our own cutlery and sauces. My ‘dressed’ crab was pretty much brown crab with tiny sprinkles of white and it tasted like the dregs of a crab and made me feel sick. Do not read the good reviews. Do not go here. No service, **** and over priced food, no atmosphere. Avoid avoid avoid"

"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 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."
