"We were the first table seated and the service was very prompt with catering to our needs. We had the octopus and scallops as a starter. About 5 minutes later food was out. The scallops out of the two dishes were the winner. Great depth of flavour great balance of salt to sweet to sour and the nduja added that hint of spice. The octopus was also good. Nice cook on the Octo and we'll balance I just felt it needed a bit more depth to hit the palate correctly. On to the mains but before that can someone please turn off the alarm from the staircase right beside us please, it's so Annoying. Wild boar Ragu for me and lobster for the Mrs. Again I chose the winning dish. The lobster dish was semi drowning in a water puddle of flavourful broth. We both wished they would of rendered/reduce, thicken that broth to make remove it from its homogeneous state. The Ragu the best of the two dishes wasn't wowsers but, still good. I would of loved a bit more acidity and a layer of fat left behind on my tongue. It was simple and nice which makes it a great dish. Tell you what doesn't make it a great dish when the staff is laying down the law to what seemed to be a new staff memember who decided to wear his own vest coat to work when he shouldn't have. We were the only ones in the restaurant so we were the only ones who witnessed it but, not the right time or place for it. After they sent him to the corner for timeout the staff brought out a nice mango dessert to excuse for the Loud beeping which had still been running loud throughout the whole service. Overall a decent meal you pay for the premium of the location. Would I come again, yes but with a game plan and an extra vest coat"

"Really unhappy about overall experience, the service is good and everyone was attentive . But we have chosen to celebrate special occasion , birthday and there was no vibe in the restaurant,all the tables were empty and just nothing special about the place."

"I went out with a friend, and we shared several dishes, which was perfect. The staff was attentive, and the restaurant had a spacious atmosphere. It's one of the few places in London where you can actually hear each other without having to deal with loud music! My only complaint is that the lighting felt a bit too bright. I'm not sure if it’s because the space is quite large, airy, and predominantly white."

"I was disappointed with my experience. The food was much better during our last visit. My poached egg was almost cold, and the mushrooms and poached egg were served on some heavy, soggy bread that was meant to be toast. It’s a pity because everything was delicious before. For dessert, there was no rice pudding, which was one of the main reasons we chose to come here. However, the chocolate fondant was delightful. On the positive side, the service was excellent."

"Have eaten here half a dozen times in the last year. Decided to do something different for Christmas Day lunch. It did not disappoint. Great mix of traditional and Polish elements. My wife has a number of food allergies and they are extremely supportive and helpful in recommending suitable dishes and even making small modifications to suit. Smallish but very good wine list and one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had."

"We did receive complimentary drinks—a Diet Coke and a tea—but unfortunately, the food order also encountered issues. My friend ordered a Jerk Chicken Burger with gluten-free bread, but just before the food was nearly ready, we were informed that they had no gluten-free bread available. Thankfully, our friend was okay with having the burger without bread, as the food was served just two minutes later. If he had wanted to make a different choice, they would have had to restart the order completely. We also requested a glass of tap water that never arrived. When it was time to settle the bill, the server mentioned that she had applied a small discount to account for the missing gluten-free bread. I believe that if it weren't for that discount, we would have raised concerns about the Jerk Chicken itself, as it was not what we expected. Instead of a proper burger, it was just a few strips of chicken that resembled goujons. Lastly, when the bill arrived, she brought the card machine with her, expecting payment before we even had a chance to review the bill properly. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience."

"We went to celebrate my Husband’s birthday. We booked outdoor seating but due to weather we couldn’t sit outside. But the inside ambiance was equally good. Lady who served us was very kind and friendly. Limited choice on Menu but Lovely food and not overly priced. Staff was very warm and welcoming. Enjoyed the evening."

"The staff were all extremely pleasant and attentive without being too intrusive. Due to the restaurant being fairly empty, we had multiple members of staff with which to deal, though this just ensured speedy service rather than errors being made. Whilst the menu choice was not the best, there were a sufficient number and type of dishes from which to choose, so that everyone in the group (4 of us) was happy with the options. The tapas portions were large enough that we all had a decent taste of each, and apart from the traditional Pide (which received no likes) the consensus was that the food was tasty All in all we had a very enjoyable meal, which, with a cocktail each and two bottles of wine came to a very reasonable £225 (with service charge) ."

"This was our first visit and both my wife and I agreed our expectations had been exceeded. There was plenty of space around our table so other conversations were not intrusive. The waitresses were very attentive and friendly so we immediately felt at ease. The menu was excellent with many tempting choices. The actual food was really well presented and the flavours were excellent. We both really enjoyed a relaxing evening with great food. We would definitely recommend and we will be booking again."

"My friend and I went to Sushisamba in the past months and I would like to share my brief comments about the dine in experience. • They restrict us 120 minutes dining time (when they served slowly on certain dishes, you would need to rushing quickly to finish it before they could serve you on other dishes). Waiter kept checking on us and asked us to finish the last piece of plate so that he could clear it ! • Music is too loud, therefore people are talking loud too. Really noisy! • Some of the table can't enjoy any view, probably facing entrance or kitchen. If you need to good view, please be more specific to request it. However even we have requested a good view, but they still unable to promise it. • We booked taste of Sumba £100 each person comes with 3 courses. The staff will be delivered all starter come in one go when your table is too small to place all the foods, and you might worry the place will falls onto floor and dine very carefully ! •Can't believe that you paid about £100 per person but you will use disposal chopsticks ! • When the staff clear up the plate, he used a dirty and smelly cloth to clean the table, and you would felt disgusting smell stay on the table and made us felt really unpleasant to stay longer to sit there! We should have asked him to clean it again but he looks not friendly to us. • There are some outdoor table and you may take some photos of London • Average foods and drinks Foods but Green bean tempura, shrimps tempura and black cod taste was good. Overall we had not a great dining experience for the price and service we paid, we had been forced to eat faster !! They are many awesome restaurants with good foods as well as fantastic service plus fantastic view, Honestly I would not recommend any of friends to go Sushisamba, sorry ! !"

"Lovely to be greeted and showed to our table and so impressed that the chef had gone to the trouble of doing me a separate Vegan menu! We were sat by the door which was very cold couldn't really be helped and apparently we were meant to have a different table.Service was ok, but slow and the Pizza's that we ordered were forgotten about and only when I asked about them about minutes after the rest of our food had arrived were they cooked. No apology was made for this. The Kitchen is a lovely place and we will definitely be back to give them another go"

"We were warmly welcomed and shown to our table, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the chef had prepared a separate vegan menu for me! However, we were seated by the door, which was quite chilly—something that couldn’t really be avoided, as it appears we were supposed to have a different table. The service was decent, but it was a bit slow. Unfortunately, the two pizzas we ordered were forgotten, and I only inquired about them about five minutes after our other food had arrived. They were finally prepared, but there was no apology for the oversight. Despite this, the kitchen has a lovely atmosphere, and we will certainly return to give it another try!"

"As an inveterate food blogger I go out a lot. It’s easy to feel blasé about some invitations, another pizza place, a hotel restaurant focussing on seasonality and locality… but when you get the call to an event at Theo Randall’s refurbished eponymous restaurant in the Intercontinental Hotel in Park Lane you sit up and take notice. Quite simply he is the best chef serving Italian food in London today and a decent chap to boot. He was known for running the kitchen at The legendary River Café and then ten years ago took the opportunity to open his own space within the Intercontinental Hotel. Theo told me he felt that the previous look had been a bit too corporate (although I loved...read more"

"Although the restaurant itself was very nice and we could not fault the attentive service of the waiting staff, the food was OK but not overly hot. We only had a main meal each plus drinks and shared a dessert. What annoyed us was, while we could do nothing but accept the 12.5% service charge on the bill, when we paid the bill by cash, we were not given any change which we felt was very cheeky. This was not just a few pennies it was nearly £7. If the change had been returned we may have chosen to leave a tip, however for it not to be returned left us feeling rather aggrieved. It should not be assumed that paying by cash means keep the change, especially when a service charge has already been added. Having only booked this restaurant for its location to the theatre we were going to, it definitely was not the best meal we had during our stay in London and the experience was the one we were the most disappointed with. I might add, the waiter who took the money from us was not one that had been serving us prior to this, he just happened to be passing our table."

"This pretty CS Lewis inspired café in east Belfast is a treasure trove of vintage crockery, quirky Narnia-themed artwork and with its perfectly pitched playlist, is a delightfully cosy family run affair offering fabulous food, coffee, tea and delicious tray-bakes all using local produce and suppliers. The Lamppost is now open on Friday and Saturday evenings with a brand new menu featuring a great selection of large and small dishes with suggested wine pairing, and some great vegetarian and vegan options, so we were delighted to have been invited down to be one of the first to try out the new menu. We began with a gorgeous Mackerel Rillette with watercress, cucumber pickle, and toasted sourdough, a Tempura Oyster Mushroom with maple glaze, kimchi bean sprouts, and an incredible gochujang mayo, and Grilled Asparagus with harissa yogurt, dill and toasted almonds, all of which were perfect sharing starters. To follow, the Mussels with Orzo, leeks, peas and saffron cream were fresh and bursting with flavour, and the Lentil Dahl with miso tofu and crispy onions with triangles of pitta bread for dipping was one of the tastiest vegan dishes we’d had in quite a while, accompanied by some steamed Asian Greens in sesame and ginger. To finish we had a light yet luscious Lemon Roulade with fresh fruit and vanilla cream, and some vegan cheese, a plant based, spirulina blue-veined wedge of Cashew Blue from Nourish Good Food, with crackers and Irish Black Butter. All washed down with an excellent bottle of Porta 6, and some great cocktails, this is a terrific new menu. Many thanks to the team at the Lamppost for a wonderful evening of fantastic food, service and warm hospitality."

"Came here for a Christmas party with a group of over 30 people. Even though we filled most of the restaurant the waiters were extremely attentive to everyone, the owners themselves came over several times to make sure everyone was happy The food was outstanding. Huge portions, low prices, and flavor you can only get when you care about the food you serve. I could not find fault with this restaurant. An excellent night for all who came and I am already looking to come again."

"The menu offered a variety of Mediterranean dishes, from classic Greek salads to savory kebabs and seafood specialties. Everything looked delicious, and I was excited to try some new flavors. We started with a selection of appetizers, including crispy falafel and creamy hummus, which were all excellent. For my main course, I opted for the grilled sea bass with a side of roasted vegetables, and it did not disappoint. The fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the vegetables were flavorful and tender. Overall, I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh and healthy Mediterranean cuisine."
