A refreshing cold soup with ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, olive oil, and vinegar, perfect for a light summer appetizer.

"The restaurant is lovely, but our experience was disappointing. There were 6 of us and the food was not good. The lamb kebabs and lamb chops were tough and unpleasant to eat. The service was also poor, with the waiter only attending to us when called. After paying a high price for poorly cooked food, we decided to never eat at hotels again. We had much better meals at other local restaurants such as Sawil and Marie Venna."

"We had an excellent meal here on a Friday night with our two small children. Service was excellent, and noticeably different to many local places. Our waiter was really efficient, but was kept very busy as the place was rammed by the time we were eating our mains. My daughter’s burger was a bit overcooked so she left half of it. Mine was well done, as I’d asked it to be. Felt like good value vs local options, and the back dining room was lovely. Will definitely return."

"Been here many times and always been pleased hence returning many times. This time however we were left for 15-20 minutes without anyone even asking for a drinks order, in fairness once prompted we did get a free drink, but still pretty poor. After we ordered we did wait around 40 minutes for our food, and whilst I appreciate it takes time to prepare and serve, it did seem awfully long especially after the initial 15-20 minutes wait to order in the first place. In short great food at reasonable cost in a nice atmosphere, customer service shocking and needs sorted out before you lose customers."

"I would not recommend this restaurant. Despite having a reservation, we arrived 3 minutes early and were told to wait until our allotted time. After waiting for 25 minutes, we received no apology. The service was poor, as we were not offered a drink and when we tried to order, we were told to wait. The food was mediocre and not authentic Spanish cuisine. Our orders were incorrect, with missing items and unwanted substitutions. The waitstaff were indifferent and unapologetic. The tables were cramped, with customers having to crawl under them to leave. Overall, a disappointing and unwelcoming experience."

"the rabbit was boiled for perfection, melt softened with caramelized baby tweezers and tomatoes. it was also in the regular Spanish that it felt as if it had been negotiated with an axe with various sharp pieces of bone. apparently rustic. the salt meadow was wonderfully picked with black pudding and thin cut chorizo. the fish fleshy with a wonderful taste of the sea gives a gentle saltiness then to finish the sweet meat aromen. simple and elegant. the ham steak in px was cooked similarly well and the sauce from this wonderfully rich wein was impractical and required a part brot to enjoy it sweet. the garnels had a perfect hauch of chili heats,...more"

"Staff were lovely could do with better communication and the place wasn't busy at all. Would you like more wine or another drink, some dessert. We're about to close the kitchen would you like anything else before we do. Would you like the bill. No bread laid out on the table either which is a staple for Mediterraneans. My friend likes the place so she will return."

"Very authentic spanish cuisine. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was empty apart from us, so a very quiet and chilled experience! Outstanding tapas, sangría and attention. The cook even came out to ask about our food. As a Spanish national living in London, it's a treat to be able to taste the flavours of home, would highly recommend!"

"I went to the Duke of Sussex pub. We were a group of 8 that easily fit on to a long table that had two other guests on already. This table could have easily fit 14 people. The staff were difficult borderline rude about this despite the fact that the people on the table were more than happy for us to join their table. From then on the staff seemed to have a vendetta against are table. No one optimised this more than the woman running the pub quiz. She made multiple comments about us sitting at the table for no reason. During the evening we were not taking part in the pub quiz and instead we were just talking amongst ourselves. Again the woman running the pub quiz felt the need to come over and comment on our table but this time about us being too loud claiming other people had complained. We were speaking at a normal level for pub. This claim seemed unlikely due to the fact the people who would have been most affected if we had been noisy had no problem with us at all. In summary, I would avoid this pub when the pub quiz is on due to their draconian anti fun policy. The woman who runs the pub quiz is horrible."

"The food was excellent, as always, but the service left much to be desired. It took a long time for our order to be taken, and when we finally prompted the staff, they were quite unfriendly. Unfortunately, our order was not taken correctly, and there was no acknowledgment of the mistake. The staff also leaned over other diners at our table to serve our food, which felt quite intrusive. Overall, they appeared unsmiling, unyielding, and poorly trained. Thankfully, another waitress brought us coffee; she was friendly and made us feel welcome for the first time during our visit."

"We had diner at Corner Room restaurant and we chose 5 courses tasting menu which was very disappointing.. Portions are very small not worth at all even for £39.. Croquettes were a pub style two small bites with no garnish.. Prawns risotto was a joke imagine table spoon of risotto and 4 extra small srimp on a top... Lamb came as a two small chops with aubergine puree and raw radish.. taste was bitter and flavourless... Almond gazpacho soup was fabulous and portion size was good. Custard with poached plums and crumbs was okay but not my cup of tea.."

"Ate here on Saturday evening as a treat with a friend. Beautiful room, lovely ambience, warm and professional welcome. But after that it went downhill. The service was awkward and strange. I assumed it was our waiter’s first week as he was intrusive, a bit clumsy and tentative but in fact he was the person in charge. I don’t like a rushed meal but the first course took 30 mins to arrive which was a little long to wait. Starters when they arrived were delicious. My main course was very odd though. I ordered baked cheese with salami and potatoes costing £26. When it arrived it was a large ‘sharing’ type cheese with Parma ham and a small amount of sautéed potatoes plus lots of good bread. Obviously I chose it and you could say that was my bad but I assumed as it was a main course option it would have been prepared in a different way suitable for one person. It was delicious but I thought it was an ill judged and peculiar dish to be offered as a main course- it would have been a substantial and lovely sharing dish for 4 people as a starter. I was also surprised to find Parma ham rather than the salami. I adore cheese and have a good appetite but even I was defeated and only managed to eat about 1/3 of it. I mentioned this pleasantly to the waiter when he came to collect our plates and also mentioned about the substituted Parma ham. He said he would mention it to the manager. The first waiter came over saying ‘you’ve got a complaint I hear?’. I said ‘no it’s just an observation’. He told me that the Parma ham WAS salami. I was a bit perplexed as the two meats are not similar at all and we entered into a faintly Trumpian discussion which I quickly gave up on as he was not to be moved on this ‘black is white’ issue. He then proceeded to take my carafe of white wine away although there was still some wine left in it. I had had two glasses anyway so didn’t bother calling him back but again I thought this was very peculiar and bad service. My friend had pheasant macaroni which she said was tasty but definitely not pheasant but after the salami/ham saga we didn’t bother saying anything about that. I ordered an Americano coffee which came quickly with sugar but no milk. When I asked him for milk he raised his eyebrows said ‘milk?’ incredulously as though I’d asked for something really outlandish and reluctantly supplied it. We had one dessert which was a ridiculously huge portion but delicious. The bill came with a 12.5% tip added. We declined to pay this, the waiter queried it, had to go off to the manager again and give us a new amended bill after a bit of faffing around- an awful palaver over a so called discretionary service charge. My friend gently explained that we had not had a great experience and why and this was noted with not so much as a grudging acknowledgement; let alone an apology. I have never had such crack handed and odd service and we both left feeling very let down. It really spoiled what would have been a lovely evening otherwise. I wouldn’t have minded about the weird main course if they had handled it with a little more grace. A simple acknowledgement and comment about ‘sorry it wasn’t what you were expecting... will feedback etc’ would have gone a long way. I am not a high maintenance customer. I respect and admire restaurant staff who generally do a tough job with great professionalism. But this was not a cheap restaurant and we felt overall it was not good value and we did not have the relaxed and lovely evening we were expecting."

"Now here is a restaurant that always guarantees a good time. I admit, I might be a touchless curtain. it's just a few doors away from my home and for years this is our local favorite. we are regularly here for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, for birthday parties and other family events, and, at a time well many years ago, my daughter even supplemented her student income by waitress there. it even stood at us well when our own kitchen was renovated and we had practically all our meals in Annie’s."

"Went here on Valentines day with my girlfriend flying in from Ireland. The food was well presented, tasty and just the right portion size. The setting was perfect with a nice bar in the middle of the restaurant. The staff were really pleasant and always on hand for drink refill! One staff member stood out above the rest. Paulo went above and beyond with his service. He made sure we were happy with our visit. Although we had some minor complaints Paulo ensured he did everything in his power to make our visit was a pleasant one through some very stressful circumstances and even suggested some lovely cocktails! We would recommend this restaurant to anyone and it gets a well deserved 5* review."

"I REALLY WANTED TO LOVE THIS PLACE! If you know me, you'll know I'm a HUGE fan of juice. I juice a lot myself and juicing was what got my husband and myself into living a plant based diet. With that said, I think I know my juices from my smoothies pretty well. Now, as someone who doesn't carry cash I was disappointed when I went in on the first day and their card machine wasn't working. I could excuse it as it was their first day. I went back last week and again the card machine still wasn't working. I was desperate for juice as I had too much to drink the night before while most turn to a full breakfast I turn to juice to cure me! Anyway, I went away to get cash and came back. Now, there are a couple of things that bothered me... First, I think it was the manager that was there he seemed a bit stressed and there wasn't anyone there, so not sure what he was stressed about but it was slightly off putting. Second, I stood there waiting to order and a girl just smiled at me, it took someone coming from the back to come over to take my order. Weird. I placed my order and I watched the other girl make my juice, I was a bit annoyed that she barely put enough kale in to get any juice out of it. Kale needs to be juiced in bunches to get enough juice. THEN THIS HAPPENED: she juiced unwashed apples WITH THE STICKERS STILL ON THEM!! Now, as I said I had a lot to drink the night before so my reaction was a bit slow and I thought perhaps I was seeing things. That's when the other girl brought a box of apples and took them out and placed them in a basket that the girl was taking apples out of to juice. I didn't say anything at the time although I really wish I did! When you're juicing you're consuming the entire fruit so when the apple is unwashed you're ingesting everything on the skin. Yes I drank the juice, yes it was good. To be honest though I think the place is more style over substance and I rather just juice at home."

"Picture is a low key restaurant in Fitzrovia, a short stroll from the manic Oxford Circus. The interior is quite basic with wooden tables and chairs which remind me of being back in school canteens. The main focus here is clearly the food and the most popular attraction is the tasting menu with aperitif for a very reasonable price of £35. I don’t think any other tables ordered off the a la carte from what I saw which runs alongside the 6 course tasting menu."

"my wife and I celebrated our jubilee at the clock. we had the 5-course tasting menu with prosecco. the food was really delicious, very nicely cooked and beautifully presented. the portions were also of a decent size, and we have not left a starving. the restaurant is a nice cozy room, and the personal cared for us. we had a great night and would recommend it very much. total the dinner came to about 100 gbp for 2, including a bottle of wine, so favorable for the opposite and quality."

"Concise menu meant quality food was delivered Iâd suggest the duck liver parfait is served in a deeper dish so more parfait below the brûlÃe top Service was attentive but unobtrusive The location is better in days being on the river although it was still charming on a December evening Dessert cocktails are a novel alternative or addition to the dessert course All the staff have a light inviting manner"

"My family and I dined at the Union restaurant in December 2023 for the first time, marking our fourth visit overall after dining there three times previously on our own. While most of the food we have had at the restaurant has been excellent, there was one instance where my main course wasn't as good as it had been on other occasions. During this visit, my starter was good and my dessert was outstanding, but unfortunately, my main course was disappointing and overpriced. I'm not a fan of fish or seafood, and I don't always crave red meat, so I opted for the vegetarian option among the choices of lemon sole, steak, Somerset goat chops, and a vegetarian dish. My husband enjoyed the lemon sole he ordered, but my vegetarian meal was bland and unappetizing. I had to add salt to try to improve the taste, but it was mostly butterbeans and lacked flavor. For the price of £21, I expected a more satisfactory meal. I found it extremely disappointing and not worth the cost. While dining in Rye can be expensive, the quality of the food usually justifies the price. However, I would advise avoiding or being cautious when selecting this particular main course at the Union."

"the pre-theater menu is medium-leading. the food offered in the menu differs from what we found on its website. were small, and I ordered mushing, there are sand in the mushes, not fresh at all, the worst I ever had. I told the personal about it, but her answer was acknowledged, but she didn't react at all. definitiw will not go back"
