"I don’t recommend coming here unless you plan on partying all night. Myself and my partner came for a 1 night staycation on Valentine’s Day. When we arrived we were blown away by the customer service at the front desk and the interiors in the room. When we came back to the room for the night, there was a lot of noise in the hotel from around 9pm onwards. We didn’t mind this at first as it was still quite early in the evening. We were woken up from 3am-7.30am as there was people slamming doors in the hallway, talking very loudly and playing music in the rooms next to us. We were shocked how management could allow this. It sounded like there was 6 people or more in the room next to us drinking and playing music. We came to the dean for a relaxing night away but unfortunately we came home exhausted . We understood when we booked the hotel that there was nightclubs nearby but the issue wasn’t the outside noise it was the noise inside which was insanely loud. I mentioned this at the front desk when we were checking out and they seemed shocked and said they do walks of the hallways during the night but the noise was so loud I didn’t understand how they couldn’t have heard it. They offered to compensate us with brunch in Sophie’s rooftop which we appreciated but we turned down as we wanted to leave. Overall, lovely interiors and customer service but it is definitely more of a partying hotel than a relaxing quiet one. Unfortunately we won’t be back."

"first of all, we easily found our table as we were guided by some very friendly staff, and nearly as soon as we were seated had drink orders taken by a very friendly waiter. we ordered the classic 2 for 1 margaritas, which we really did not enjoy but I think this was down to us being wimps more than anything for food, i ordered the cali surf burrito and my boyfriend ordered the el reyes without guacamole, and then we shared some house fries. food was 50% off in january which we thought was a fab deal. i found the burrito portions a little bit too much, purely because the fillings were so rich, but enjoyed mine as much as I could have. I don’t usually like guacamole or pico de gallo either but I really liked it in this. my boyfriend really enjoyed his too the birria beef was really rich. the house fries were as good as fries can be too, although the sauce was not really chipotle mayo, more a lightly flavoured mayo, but no complaints here as i love mayo. to finish off, we ordered some of the blue raspberry frozen margaritas and I was worried they’d be too icy to drink but we found it quite easy and they were lovely. all of the servers were very helpful and attentive my only complaint is that there is a lot of noise in comparison to the sizes of the dining room for reference, we were there from around 4.30 to 6.15. overall a very nice experience with pleasant food and good drinks, if not a bit overpriced in places."

"update: came here two more times since the first posted because I love this place so much. the service remained quite good, though sometimes somewhat slow when they have a lot of orders. the second time I came, I got the Moroccan Buddha-shot, but replaced the Ghife-Brot for the quinoa. I liked that especially the healed cheeks. the Aubergine-Zalock this time had a tasty taste. for caramelized swirl (quite sweet) or sautéed spinat (rather bland). also the hummus beiruty without the chilis. that was a lot of fun. the third time I came, I got the jackfruit shawarma. was good, not the sharp one I liked, but the portion was quite small and not the filling in consideration of the price. the riders were a fairly small part, although they were well done. the jackfruit had a lot of taste. I have a side of fried plantains, which I didn't think was good. They were barely ripe, pretty simple. would have come back here, but I would not order the schawarma or the plan owners again. ————— this place was very recommended to me. it was surprised to find that it is quite small. but eating and service are amazing. really good portion sizes. had garnished the dynamit that is one of their signature dishes. very realistic and tasteful. the Aubergine-Zaaalock was also recommended. not as good as the garnel. was quite spicy and not smokey. came with something really good pita brot to mop the whole sauce. the Ghife-Brot was my absolute favorite thing! so flick and chewing. in any case they go back, only because of this alone, had their Moroccan pancakes dessert. also very good. uses Ghife-Brot, which is filled with biscoff spread. that alone would be sweet, but the egg that is served with it is not sweet, so went very well. especially the presentation of this was very nice."

"This review is the one you need: 1. The queue was 1hr 10 mins on a Saturday at 7pm, not bad in my eyes for a hyped restaurant. It was -2 outside when we queued up so glad I was wearing a fat coat. The queue runs along the river so it will get chilly so make sure you 're warm if visiting in the winter. When we got to the front, the manager moved us under the tables with the heated lamps which was lovely. The food was mostly worth the wait. All in all, not too bad. I was expecting way worse. 6/10 2. The food was mainly good. My highlight was the beef brisket doughnuts...paired with the sauce and the pickles.. omg delicious. The buttermilk prawns were also banging. We had *all* the snacks. The chicken skin was not worth it...cold and dry. Mac and cheese balls were not pulling and dry from the inside. The best snack was the jalapeño popper and calamri. We got the po boy with the buttermilk chicken and I think the chicken was really dry and not tasty. I wish we got the grilled chicken po boy as with all the fried snacks, it all started to taste the same after a while, so if you go I 'd recommend if you 're getting the snacks, get the grilled chicken/prawn option for your BYO Poor Boy . I 'd give the food on its own an 8/10. It was mainly hit, but the items that were misses, were real misses. 3. The restaurant was coooooold inside. Make sure you dress warm if you 're visiting in the winter. I had to sit with my coat over my legs as a blanket! The seats are super uncomfortable and the bathrooms were not the cleanest. 1/10 4. Service is fast and the server we had was very attentive. No fault whatsoever with that! She even swapped over some sauces for us as we had so many of the same sauces! The only thing about the service was that the server didn 't ask us about our meal at the end, but that is being really nit-picking. 10/10 Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £50–60 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Brisket"
