"I had visited the infamous San Carlo Fumo restaurant in Birmingham. Fumo introduces italian tapas style dishes that are delicious in relation to their main restaurant San Carlo. Located in the centre of Birmingham and only a few minutes from San Carlo, this makes Fumo easily accessible for anybody to find! At first glance, I recall that the interior was W o w. Really elegant and modern, with an overview of the bar area within the dining area. We ordered a few dishes as this was during lunch time. (And cocktails come'on it was a birthday celebration lunch! :p) So this is what we ate: Lobster Risotto: Despite it being a small dish, we hoped that there would be lobster meat in this, however it was really nice rich in lobster flavour. Mixed seafood Calamari: Squid King Prawn Scallops. I loooove Calamari and this was certainly delicious! This was the first time I had tried deep fried Scallops and it's definitely something I would order again. Mixed Seafood Spaghetti: Contains Mussels Prawns Clams Squid and Cherry Tomatoes. This portion size was just right especially for lunch as pasta can be really filling. The creamy sauce that had garlic, butter and a kick of chilli made this dish really flavorsome. Bruschetta with wild mushrooms: Your ordinary Bruschetta dish, plated on a bed of Rocket leaf salad, with wild mushrooms topped with Parmesan cheese. Tasted Lovely, wouldn't say extra ordinary though. Calamari: Deep fried squid. Yep, we loved the mixed calamari soo much that we had ordered another portion of just Squid Calamari. Love the presentation of this. Rice Balls with Meat Ragu: Bet you would've thought that these were meatballs right? Definitely looks it! Take a bite into this and you would find that it has a risotto filling with meat ragu inside. Soo yummy! I loved it. Cocktails: I cannot remember at all what were the names of these! But I do remember that it tasted alot stronger than i had imagined. Nevertheless, tasted really fresh and different! Fumo really does like to showcase their uniqueness in presentation. How cute is that little glass :o). Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed Lunch at San Carlo Fumo, the service was great as was the food. With no doubt, we will be back to have dinner one day.

"My friend and I were visiting Edinburgh and it was our first night here when we decided to try Mussel Inn upon the recommendation of our host. The place was packed both indoor and outdoor so the staff politely informed us to wait till there's a free table. It only took about 10 minutes when we were called in for indoor seating. We didn't mind as it was a bit chilly outside. The place is casual with lively ambience and light hues interior. We started with haggis bonbon which one friend thought I wouldn't like. But I actually found it to be well-seasoned and cooked. The crispy coat of the balls match the soft inside of them. We added mussel platter as starter and then for our main I had a spiced fish stew and grilled sea bass for my friend. All were good and well flavoured."

"Visited today to celebrate my Mum’s 60th birthday. We were a party of 4 and a high standard was set from the start. The door was opened to us on approach, the hostess greeting us with a polite smile and seating us promptly. Our coats were whisked away, and we were presented with beautiful menus and advised how the afternoon tea would proceed (spoiler the food is not all presented at once… it takes a good couple of hours! , and were shown a list of available loose leaf teas to choose from at our leisure. We opted to splurge and upgrade to the Champagne Afternoon tea, since we were celebrating a significant birthday for my Mum, and warned our wonderful waitress Angela that we would be asking her to take a fair few group pictures! Our group included 1 very fussy eater, and two with medically mandated dietary requirements, which we advised of both at time of booking, and when we were seated. We decided to be brave and throw caution to the wind (accepting adaptations for dairy and caffeine free as required and went with the flow, trusting the expertise of the team. We were also offered the choice of “pairing” our tea selections to each course (like pairing wine to a meal we decided to give it a go, with the assurance that we could switch to the tried and tested “English Breakfast tea” at any time… Pairing our tea turned out to be the best decision we have ever made, and a choice all 4 of us would thoroughly reccomend. With each different tea, we were given fresh china strainers “so you can truly appreciate the different flavours” Throughout our visit, Anglea was fantastic. She was attentive without being intrusive, shared a fantastic knowledge of the different teas availabe, and could not have been more helpful and fantastic. Her charm and attention to detail made a highly anticipated visit truly memorable. Additional highlights included the goats cheese, proscuitto and fig jelly sandwiches (divine! , the gentle soundtrack providing a pleasant ambiance to the room (especially when the Downton theme started playing as we poured our first cup of tea 4 very giddy Downton fans thoroughly approved! , the provison of dairy free pattiserie for the sweet course IN ADDITION to the usual goodies on offer, and the beautiful surprise of a “Happy 60th Birthday” plate because “our team wanted to recognise and clebrate the occasion with you wonderful ladies” Well worth the price tag. Definately something everyone should indulge in given half a chance!"

"The clams were not properly cleaned and the ritz-cracker crusted haddock was soggy. This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but it has undergone a disappointing change. The food is overpriced for the low quality. I would recommend looking elsewhere."

"mm, let me see. we came around this afternoon, the place was not exactly packed, but the atmosphere was pleasant and the staff quite welcoming. in the parking lot there is a sign that says that they had a three cure meal days the week for the time we had reached the bar that it had risen in the price was apparently the local ring and book that allowed them to eat when I asked if I book a table and come in five minutes the renter( seemed to think I was rich in facets; I wasn't, honestly, I just wanted to save a few. at least they allowed their fair credit that we would dinate for everyone. we had mushrooms on toast very nice, suppe of the day as beautiful, scampi and chips and chips both the scampi and the fish were beautiful, if also a little small, the accompanying mushy erbs were beautiful and the wetarsauce were very nice in the did. it would have been nice if you had pulled off a pint to remove the residue of the cleaning liquid instead of serving me. do not give brewery today any supplement? on the basis of previous commentary, it seems that the things move in the right direction, not perfect, but not bad at all. I would certainly go back because it is excellent value for money and very good food. please cook their chips fresh when they do, I bring a few of us past, and I promise to make first phones!"

"We saw The Pony on Tom Kerridge and decided to visit whilst on holiday in Somerset. The setting is beautiful. We had a table beside the window which was good because it was a hot day. The trout starter was small and it would have benefited from a small piece of bread however it tasted delicious. Had the beef and the pork for mains and they were both excellent. The vegetables were well cooked, the cabbage was really tasty, the carrots were succulent and the roast potatoes were crispy with fluffy insides. Had cheese and summer fruits for dessert. The cheese was good, especially the ewe’s cheese. I agree with other comments- this place is not cheap however, it’s quality and there are plenty of pub carveries if you are simply looking for quantity. We would definitely come back if we were in the area."

"We arrived for dinner around 8pm, and were surprised when our starters arrived before our drinks. We had only ordered bottles of coke and tap water, so it was particularly frustrating that it took approximately 40 minutes for our drinks to arrive. In the end, I had to go to the bar myself to get them. During our meal, we noticed that the couple next to us received their mains before their wine or any drinks at all. Although the manager attempted to apologize, it felt insincere as he rambled through the apology without making eye contact. At both dinner and breakfast, the staff started moving tables and chairs around while guests were still eating, which made us feel uncomfortable. Overall, this experience was disappointing and I hope it was just a one-time occurrence. Despite the delicious food, I am hesitant to return or recommend this restaurant based solely on the poor service I experienced, which left me regretting my choice of restaurant."
