The Chesterfield Mayfair

➤ The Chesterfield Mayfair Hotel 35 Charles Street London, W1J 5EB, United Kingdom

"Supposedly Butlers restaurant in the Chesterfield Hotel is known as a fine dining restaurant but in actuality it is a huge, mismanaged disappointment in almost every respect. One is at first we were shocked to see one half of the nicely appointed dining room permanently closed and out of service. We now understand after experiencing the Butlers food and service, it is apparent the regularly dining public is staying away. Why? Well to just name a few of the startling inferior aspects of the Butlers..... First let me assure the reader our traveling family was expecting a well prepared and well served expensive meal which was our goal. A goal we had no problem in fulfilling elsewhere in renowned London restaurants. Caesar salads were served with zero dressing with no attempt to reconcile this lack despite bringing it to the attention of the otherwise friendly but poorly trained staff. Most of our party of eight ordered salads but half of them came 15-20 minutes after the others were delivered. Some main dishes were barely warm and the sauce for some seemed to be nothing but plain unadulterated bouillon or Vegemite. and the accompanying potato mash was totally unheated. Plus after pointing this out and waiting 15 minutes for a warm mash, they served lukewarm mash again. One of our party wanted tequila on the rocks in a salt rimmed glass. The maîtresse de was dumbfounded and said just use the sale on the table which is impossible to do in a filled glass. There is much more lacking at Butlers, but suffice it to say avoid Butlers like the plague. I take no joy in reporting this and merely wished for an upscale and happily memorable dinner."

Mezzoroma Lounge

➤ 66 Walm Lane London, NW24RA, NW2 4RA, United Kingdom

Pizza • Pasta • Steak • Italian

"Mezzorama offers a delightful dining experience. The restaurant was almost full when we visited, filled with couples and small families, without any rowdy groups. The food and wine were both excellent, and the service was top-notch. The only suggestion I have is for them to add more dessert options that are not ice cream-based. Although my partner's steak was cooked rare instead of medium as requested, I'm sure they would have gladly fixed it if we had asked. Overall, Mezzorama offers great value for the price."

Boujee Chester

➤ 2 Pepper St, Chester, United Kingdom

Wine • Cafés • Vegetarian • Gluten Free

"I was really disappointed with the service. It felt like no one knew what they were doing. Although we received a warm welcome and our orders were taken promptly, that was the extent of the service we experienced. The restaurant wasn't busy, and there were plenty of staff around, but we barely received any attention. We didn't get offered any additional drinks, and since we were there to celebrate a 30th birthday, we were hoping to enjoy plenty of cocktails. Eventually, we had to flag someone down to request more drinks ourselves. As for the food, it was just average—edible but nothing special. The ambiance of the place was nice, but the subpar service really ruined the overall experience for us. I don't think I'll be returning."

Abd El Wahab

➤ 1 Pont Street, London I-SW1X 9EJ, United Kingdom

Arabic • Lebanese • Vegetarian • Mediterranean

"that was great. service was a bit poor, one of the older waiters, or perhaps the manager, didn't seem very polite and allowed us to order starters and main dishes separately. he probably knew that after ordering a lot of appetizers would be full and would not later order main dishes, so he asked us to order together with appetizers because “the kitchen was busy” and could not order. when they go to a restaurant, they should be free to order what they prefer, at any time especially during the lunchtime, the kitchen was not close or something."

Veyso's

➤ 97-101 Fore Street, East Hertfordshire, United Kingdom

Kebab • Vegan • Turkish • Vegetarian

"The restaurant offers amazing dining experience with stunning surroundings. Everything was perfect - from the interior and facility to the excellent service. During our lunch visit, we selected a special menu available during lunch hours, which was fantastic. Our only suggestion is that our main course should have come with rice or bulgur wheat. Perhaps we should have ordered them separately, a lesson for next time. We are looking forward to visiting again soon."

101 Brasserie

➤ 101 Portland Street, Manchester, United Kingdom

Tea • Pizza • Coffee • Healthy

"I received the group on voucher as a gift, so was really looking forward to going for afternoon tea to celebrate my sisters birthday. What a let down. there was a toaster left out filthy next to our table. Staff didn 't want to be there (although they were lovely when talking to us, No one asked if we were vegetarian etc. I asked what teas they have and a lady brought over a box and said 'there 's some in there, have a look ' so i felt awkward and just selected normal, she didn 't even ask my sister. Had to ask for my sisters prosecco, No music on, sat by a door that was broken and staff and customers kept banging shut and moving the metal arm on the top up and down. Sandwiches were rock hard, the watercress on top was pathetic. Cakes were nice and so was the scone. Its clear to me that the hotel has gone down in standards as everything seemed to be budget. There was only 3 tables in and i understand why. I wouldn 't return again."

Rivea London

➤ Bulgari Hotel Residences, London 171 Knightsbridge, SW1X 7PD, City of London,Westminster, United Kingdom

Wine • Fish • French • Italian

"We were welcomed with delectable bread and dips, setting the tone for the meal. The Parmah ham tigelle was a standout, reminiscent of the best ham and cheese sandwich. The crispy socca was akin to solid, torn crepe, and the roasted panisse were like chickpea fritters that resembled chips. The buffalo mozzarella salad was above average, although the addition of sardines would have enhanced the dish. The octopus and sweet potato salad was a well-executed interpretation of a common dish, while the wild mushroom and ricotta ravioli burst with mushroom flavor. The Trofie pasta with genovese pesto was simple yet well-executed. The artichoke risotto was sufficiently cooked, with a strong artichoke flavor, although the combination with Parmesan was a bit peculiar. The sage parmesan gnocchi was slightly gummy and lacked depth in flavor. The Riviera-style John Dory was well-cooked but could have benefited from more seasoning. The veal fillet with asparagus was a basic yet well-prepared dish, with a flavorful reduction and perfectly cooked meat. The Gianduja palet dessert was dense and balanced in sweetness, bitterness, and nuttiness, with stellar ice cream. The service at Rivea is of Michelin quality, and the overall dining experience exceeded expectations. It was a very good, reasonably priced meal."

Shepherd Dog, Essex

➤ 91 Shepherds Hill London, RM3 0NP, ROMFORD, United Kingdom

Pubs • Wine • Steak • Coffee

"When I had eaten several times in the shepherd and dog, I was very disappointed last Wednesday. we waited at least 20 minutes for someone to pick up our order, and it was almost an hour when we had set ourselves until we got to eat. we chose from the a la carte menu where past eating was excellent, but on Wednesday the appetizers and main course were very mediocre. nothing like taste, presentation and quality at previous visits. the only saving gnade was the sharing gloomy. we stayed at least one more hour at the table talk and the desert plates and coffee saucers were just left and not removed. my friends and I have often visited for special occasions, but at £40 per head for a midday week without wine we expect better service and eat."

Alp's Kitchen

➤ 240 Haverstock Hill, London I-NW3 2AE, United Kingdom

Meat • Kitchen • Chicken • Steakhouse

"We visited Alps kitchen twice last week, whilst we were in London and I was receiving treatment at the Royal Free hospital. Alp was so friendly and very welcoming. Our meal was perfect,simple but delicious, grilled chicken with a fabulous salad and the most amazing fries ! Some lovely warm bread and butter with olives also accompanied our white wine which made it a most marvellous meal.We enjoyed it so much we returned with two friends at the end of our week and they were both equally impressed. We wish Alp and his attentive staff well during these most difficult of times and hope very much to dine in his restaurant again when we are back in London next January!"

Norfolk Arms

➤ 28 Leigh Street London, WC1H 9EP, WC1H 9EW, United Kingdom

Tapas • Spanish • European • Mediterranean

"The tapas were great although a few of our choices were unavailable. The service however was very poor. Perhaps short staffed but it would have been nice to have seen a smile! When I complained about the wait to pay I was told she was serving other customers. She then put an incorrect amount on one card and had to wait for the manager but didn't know where they were. Such a shame as the service hadn’t been an issue in the past."

C London

➤ 25 Davies Street London, W1K 3DE, United Kingdom

Wine • Pasta • Italian • Ice Cream

"Yesterday I was at C London simply fantastic starting with the welcome from the reception desk who sat us down at the bar for a welcome drink, after which they escorted us to our table. The guys were very nice and friendly, the service was impeccable from starter to desert, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice and relaxing super recommended!!! The limit is five stars on google I would have given 100 thank you very much to all the staff"

Zobler's Deli Diner

➤ 27 PoultryEC2R 8AJ, London, United Kingdom

Pub • Hotels • Venues • American

"We were at The Ned celebrating my sons 21st birthday. He wanted to go to the brunch buffet but unfortunately it was fully booked despite trying to make a reservation weeks in advance, so, we booked the American diner instead as my son really wanted to go The Ned so I thought this would be a good compromise. Underwhelming it was. A very limited unimaginative menu and very little atmosphere. At 2pm Sunday most of the tables were empty (all in the brunch I guess) . The food was very mediocre, no better than any other burger/rib restaurant I've been to, and despite me advising in advance we were there for a special occasion nobody made an effort to make my son feel special on his birthday other than the onligatory brownie with a candle brought to the table at the end of the meal... but brought to us while he wasn't even sitting there as he'd poppedto the bathroom!! Overall very disappointing and especially more so because despite it being quiet so really no excuses, nobody went out of their way to make our experience memorable in any way. Disappointing to say the least Ned."

Buccleuch & Queensberry Arms Hotel

➤ 112 Drumlanrig Street Thornhill Thornhill, Dumfries and Galloway DG3 5LU, United Kingdom

Beer • Wine • Burgers • Scottish

"we were there for nights during the galloway country fair. what a nice hotel. we were in a small room on the top floor, not the largest space in the world, but the use of the room was exceptional and they even managed to in a luxury and separate shower in the en-suite. molton brown rugged and monogramed hand towels added that extra bit luxus. we ate both nights in the restaurant and were more than enthusiastic about the food in the offer. excellent eating, fantastic service and a great atmosphere. we are coming back to the final."
