"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."

"Very average maybe even below average by today’s standards. We were sat in the restaurant area and asked if we could move into the “pub area” but sadly the tables were all reserved (I’m sure they could have moved us around). The restaurant area had...no vibe to it, the lighting is bad and didn’t have the atmosphere like in the pub area. The lager on tap was Coors light, which I have never seen at a pub, doesn’t even taste like beer in my opinion, so we went for a Cornish lager which was ok. I had a burger and my partner had tuna steak, all I can say is the meal was very very bland with no taste at all. The waiter came over after we started to check on the meal, we said not great at all, he didn’t really know what to say and walked off and said “enjoy your meal” well we just said we aren’t so…… The tuna steak was a good size, but sadly it was cold in the middle and didn’t have any seasoning on it. This was the same with the triple cooked chips, there was no salt on it at all, the chips were soggy with no crunch to them. Then onto the burger, again so bland and no seasoning, I wouldn’t tell the difference between the burger and the chips (chips again with no salt). We finished the meal and the waiter came over, he asked again how was the meal, we said it’s not good. He then offered to take the tip off the bill which is quite embarrassing for us, they shouldn’t have to take the tip off the bill as the service wasn’t bad, it’s the food that was bad. I booked the table online and it asked for any special requests, it was my partners birthday so I said if they could sing happy birthday that would great, but they didn’t do anything. We finished our food as quickly as possible and moved into the bar area for a drink, this was nice and had a great vibe to it. Over all we were VERY disappointed, we would have spoke to the manager but we thought it wouldn’t get anywhere. We thought we would write a review, so the restaurant can take this as some constructive criticism. We certainly won’t come back if nothing changes, which is a shame as it’s a nice pub."

"they have been here many times and was always pleased to come back many times. this time, however, we were once in a fairness for minutes without someone who even asked for a beverage order, we got a free drink but still quite poor. After we had ordered that we waited for our food, and while I appreciate it, it takes time to prepare and serve, it seemed awfully long, especially after the first few minutes to order for the first place. in short time large foods to reasonable cost in a beautiful atmosphere, customer service shocked and sorted needs before they lose customers."

"We got late Groupon deal (and babysitter)for the good ladies birthday. £34 for a sharing platter 2 including bread, cheese, meats and olives. This was followed by a shared potato gratas and 5 choices from the tapas menu. As is standard some of the items have a supplementary charge. We went for the King prawns in garlic and chilli, chicken and chorizo in a tomato sauce, pan serrano(garlic bread topped with manchego cheese and serrano ham), chicken burger sliders and a breaded cheese with a tomato sauce. The dishes came with a tomato sauce and garlic aioili dip. As you expect with Spanish tapas the good was hearty and tasty. We didn't leave a morsel on the table. This isn't a dog at the portion size (which was more than generous) it is just a testament to how good it was. We finished with chocolate fudge cake that we had to force down which was probably my least favourite course. This could have been down to being stuffed like a pig before the first spoonful so I wouldn't read too much into that. To drink we had a jug of sangria to share. Sweet and fruity. Scoffed the lot. Enough said. We will definitely be back again. Outstanding value. Lovely food. Brilliant service. Wonderful transport links (if like us you like a little tipple with your Friday night meal). You you are literally up the stairs and across the road from the bus and train station. Should be noted that the Groupon deal was for £34 which is a bargain in itself. As it had been a long time since I last used my Groupon I got an extra 50 percent off the deal. I will never spend under 20 pounds for that amount of quality grub again in my life. Been smiling all weekend. 1st time. Definitely not the last."

"We visited here last night with family. The restaurant was busy as they had an offer on. Tables were very close together , so much so it was difficult to get into your seat. We ordered 3 tapas each(1 person had 4) Service was quick and food was good. Once finished , we asked to order another round of tapas but were told we couldn’t do that as it wouldn’t be ready by the time they needed the table back. As the table was not due back for another 40 minutes, we found this surprising. The very nice waitress said she would get her boss. The boss came over and said we couldn’t have any more food as the kitchen was dealing with other orders. She said her piece and then just walked away, which we found rude. We were going to order dessert but decided to go. We were also overcharged and that was rectified. Waiting staff nice but we were disappointed in the attitude of the manageress. If you visit this restaurant, make sure you order enough as it seems that, unlike most tapas, you can’t add to your order, even if there is still time left on your table allocation. It’s put us off visiting here again."

"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."

"Never .. going .. back. Birthday celebration completely ruined at Meson Callejon. We were warned that the signature paella took minutes to prepare this fitted into our timetable. However an hour later there was still no sign of the main courses and we had to leave for our next venue without tasting the paella. The only saving grace was that they did not charge us for the starters"

"I had the great pleasure of attending a function here and it was an altogether wonderful experience. Tapas were served and the quality was very good. The service was cordial and efficient. The atmosphere built as the evening drew in and it was an entirely enjoyable occasion. Many thanks to the staff for enabling this so well."

"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 dinner in the restaurant corner room and we chose 5 courses tasting menu, which was very disappointing. Portions are very small, even worth £39. croquettes were a pub style two little bites without garnish. prawns risotto was a sweat introduce table spoon risotto and 4 additional small sarmp on top. lamb came as two small pieces with aubergine pure and raw radishes. taste was bitter and tasteless. mandel gazpacho suppe was fabulous and in portions was good. custard with plums and crumbling was ok, but not my cup tee."

"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."

"As always the atmosphere and decor is what keeps this place going, the food almost hits the spot. Some dishes executed well, others well below what should be let out of the kitchen. I would encourage the management to sit down and actually eat every dish side by side to see what works and what does not. If consistency and quality can be delivered from the kitchen then Annie's has a winning formula. Overall an enjoyable evening and friendly staff."

"Today at they informed me the booking I made in July for this Sunday was cancelled as since August they haven’t opened on Sunday’s. Birthday treat meal and then seeing Hamilton. So I have tomorrow to try and book a table for in Victoria area for Somehow I don’t think that I will be very successful. Now if Aster had let me know MONTHS ago I would have been able to. They have no idea how upset I am. First family theatre trip since out of COVID. Just because someone didn’t do their job and check Sunday’s bookings from August"

"Last Friday morning I wasn 't really feeling my usual treat of a coffee so I thought I 'd nip into Juice Garden for a treat instead. This was my second time visiting, first time was just after it opened and I was impressed with the shop and the drink, but just hadn 't had the time to come back. Not going to lie, I find ordering here pretty awkward. I love the big menu on the wall, but found my self hesitantly standing in a group of customers in the middle of the shop who were all deciding what to get. I love that they have lots of options, but it was a bit too much for me (perhaps it was just my early morning brain function). I also really like they list the health benefits of each juice, but again it 's more reading to speed through while you 're queuing. Maybe I just need to pick up a take-away menu and pick what I want before I arrive! First visit here I panic bought a Protein Pig juice but luckily it was lovely! This time I was determined to have a better look at the menu before choosing. I ordered a medium Morning Juice (pineapple, apple, passion fruit) to go. I think the pricing here is a bit on the high side, but I get it if they 're ordering in fresh ingredients each day. I liked my drink a lot, and it was gone all too soon! As I 've said I 've visited twice now and each time I 've found the staff to be polite but a bit stand-offish. First time I just put it down to being a new shop but maybe not. When the girl at the till said there 's your drink (a totally innocent phrase) it sounded more angry than you 'd expect! Saying that it 'll not deter me from going back a third time! I really like the decor and atmosphere of the shop and would like to sit in and try some of their food or snacks with my juice next time round!"

"We visited with our son and his French girlfriend for a pre Christmas dinner. They are both major foodies so I was hoping the good reviews were true but I think we all have a new favourite restaurant in Rye! The service was excellent; very friendly but well informed. The restaurant is unfussy but charming and we started with cocktails which I’d recommend. The menu is wonderful, offering the freshest ingredients and delicious food. Presentation of the food was excellent and the taste was superb. The chef is very creative but sticks with a smaller menu which I prefer. I wish I’d taken more photos but I was distracted and forgot. The whole experience was great and we will definitely be back soon."

"I’ve been her several times over some years. The general atmosphere is good and the food good but variable: Mixed Olives (out of a jar) a real let down come on guys! Serve them fresh. The Rillettes was lovely with gherkins “and served with some fried type bread; just French bread would have been ok. Rillettes is fatty so no need for bread fried in oil… the mustard mayo tasted and looked just like salad cream, disgusting, forget it as it adds nothing to the dish. The sea bream tartare cured egg sesame and soy was very unpleasant. Far too salty the sesame was polarising as a flavour and there was not a hint of acidity to cut through the oily fish. Didn’t finish this dish. We had confit duck which was beautiful. Couldn’t taste the wild garlic and there were no broad beans. What we got was delicious confit with petit pois and lozenges of runner beans. But still very pleasant. I’m guessing the menu was written in the Spring but not revised. Finally I had the goat cheese and my partner the raspberry and mint sorbet both good The wine is TOTALLY over priced I would say with a mark up of 500%. We had the house white which would be around £7 a bottle wholesale but sold to us for £37. Not worth it. I would go again but offer this : It’s very very noisy! If you are going to serve from an a la carte menu make sure it’s amended and upto date. Never serve bottled olives in a French restaurant. Yes I’m a foodie and food critic. I would go again but be careful what i ordered."
