"We hadn't been here for about a year. It has had a refurb or something because it looked a lot fresher than before. We were greeted warmly on arrival and pre-lunch drinks orders were taken promptly. The staff were friendly and efficient, with service being...attentive but not obtrusive. I had the pate to start awesome followed by the steak, which was cooked to perfection and had a wonderful flavour. My colleague had the crab starter and said it was excellent. He also had the steak and agreed with my assessment. A great visit !"

"Terrible: Very poor value for money, food was mediocre (some dishes were over salted, some were bland), wine was way overpriced and not very good. There were 5 adults and one child in our party, none of the meals or drinks were interesting or special. Food took a long time, the kids meal arrived 1.5hrs+ after we sat down, we had to ask two times for it since our 4yr old was getting hungry. In the end, it was a plate of sausage and mash and I could have cooked something more interesting and tasty myself, in a fraction of the time. Worst of all was the service. The waiters were pushy, arrogant and not very effective. They spilled the wine down the side of the glass every time they poured it (my wine glass was also dirty when I sat down). They pushed extras and sides, felt like we were getting ripped off all the time. Food took a long time. Over and above this, they were very rude to us and we left feeling that they were trying to create a special restaurant but failing badly at it because the food wasn't very special, the service was terrible and the price was way too high. Very disappointed, would advise you to go elsewhere."

"I love pizza, who doesn't? It's a delicious circle of tomato-covered happiness. Italian history aside, the invention of pizza definitely made things better. Imagine if famous figures like Caesar and Napoleon had access to pizza, they might have been happier. Did you know that not all pizzas are round and that there are variations in toppings by region? At Made In Italy, you can enjoy a meter-long pizza with up to four toppings that is truly divine. The dough, tomatoes, and cheese are top-notch, creating a heavenly combination. Even if you usually prefer more elaborate pizzas, the simplicity of the margherita pizza at Made In Italy is so well-balanced that you won't feel like you're missing anything. Gather some friends and head to Made In Italy for a pizza night you won't forget."

"I will not be going back here if I’m paid. Besides the fact they’ve taken almost all of the vegan options off, there’s a curry and fajita, which isn’t really a fajita it’s a reheated sloppy wrap! I know this because when asking about allergens or if I can take stuff out I was told it was all premade. I asked for a gluten free wrap as it was part of the option and was given a regular wrap and told about that after I had began eating it! I made my allergies very clear and the waitress tried her very best and was lovely but it seemed the kitchen staff really didn’t have a clue and something in my food set off a reaction even though I’d checked and there shouldn’t have been anything in especially since this meal was meant to be vegan (my main allergy is milk)... On top of this, the lady who came over to assist was extremely rude and insisted if I didn’t need to go to hospital it didn’t really make any difference and it wasn’t their fault so they wouldn’t do anything! Reluctantly she refunded me and said “here you go Madame if your money will make you feel better take it we obviously don’t cater to the likes of you” utterly appalled. Due to the lack of care and their lack of options they should be taken down form here ! Updated from previous review on 2021-06-09 Updated from previous review on 2021-06-10"

"After discovering that my usual restaurant was closed, my friend and I stumbled upon a Chinese restaurant across the road. With many Chinese customers inside, we decided to give it a try. My friend ordered a hot and spicy soup, while I had chicken with sweet corn. We both enjoyed delicious Chinese dumplings filled with pork, served with a dipping sauce and Szechuan sauce. The portions were generous and the flavors were amazing. I couldn't even finish my meal. We also enjoyed a pot of Chinese tea. The only other restaurant that comes close to this experience is located in San Francisco. I will definitely be returning and recommend others to give it a try as well. They will not be disappointed."

"Bad service, waited min just for starters, the all restaurant was very smoky, the main dishes take long to arrive and were burn, the taste was awful! Rarely had any check backs to our table. Called the manager and he just offer another meal, what I refused do to the time I ben there just waiting for food, and expected for an apology and some discount, but never happen! I'm not a person that likes to complain, so I just left without a fuzz, but really unhappy! Never I will be back again!"

"I had the worst restaurant experience in Edinburgh at this place. The food was not good (we ordered the chili chicken ramen, regular chicken ramen, and vegetable gyoza). The service was really bad too. My friend got their food but I had to wait over 20 minutes because no one checked on us. I had to ask a different server for my food, and it wasn't even being prepared. Definitely not worth it. If you want ramen, go to Maki and Ramen instead - it's much better. There are also better Asian food options in town."

"Found Kimchee when looking for a place to have dinner. Had to wait for a table, while waiting had a gin, very tasty. Just missing some seats while we wait for table. Foodwise me and my boyfriend shared vegetable dumplings (very good! , a avocado salad (just ok and the main dish made of rice and beef which was good but could be improved with more flavour (we used the sauce from the dumplings . For dessert we had panacotta which was very enjoyable. Would go back for another meal!"

"We ended up here by chance having never been before. Will definitely be making this one of our favourites. The 2 and three course lunch menus were a lovely suprise from the usual choices. For starter mum and I had the spinach pancakes in a prawn and cheese sauce. Main for me was a whole grilled trout superbly cooked. Dessert was a really excellent cream caramel. The portions were generous. The staff were friendly and attentive. A total delight on a rainy day "

"I had an absolutely wonderful meal at The Sussex Pass. The Lemon Sole with Samphire and the Monk Fish Chicken Cassoulet were both incredibly delicious. The desserts were fantastic as well. The little details really stood out—fancy hand sanitizer on the table, lovely candles, and charming jugs for water made us feel truly pampered. Hats off to the entire Sussex Pass team; despite the numerous challenges posed by COVID, you are still providing exceptional food, service, and atmosphere. Your hard work is commendable. I can't wait to come back!"

"We have visited Amore various times previously. Called last night to book Christmas Lunch menu for Saturday 9th December and secured a table for 3.15pm. When we arrived were handed dinner menu and following ordering drinks when we queried the menu we were advised that lunch finished at 2.45pm. We each had two courses with a soft drink one with a starter and both having lasagne as main and the other a sweet. Restaurant was busy as expected for time of year. Starter was prawns on sourdough and nice. Lasagne presented with absolutely no side salad or even a sliver of garlic bread all the sides are extra cost. Sweet was Eton mess and literally a scoop of ice cream a few crumbs of merengue and a single half a strawberry thinly sliced. Bill including the pre-added service charge was £74. Staff were courteous as always but we were sorely disappointed with our experience today."

"My wife and I make it a point to have a meal out at least once a month. Our previous experiences at this restaurant have been very good. We started with appetizers as usual, but when I ordered a medium rare filet steak, it came out well-done. I was disappointed to hear the staff try to convince me that it was cooked to the correct temperature. I shouldn't have to explain the difference between medium rare and well-done. Eventually, they replaced my steak with a medium rare one, but only after my wife had finished her meal."

"from both of us I found eating at elenas to be totally acceptable, but the price-performance ratio is a bit ho-hum. the photos of the stars that decorate the walls gives him a certain charm, but the bright lighting makes nothing for the shaded color job that lurking behind the mugs, and I felt, giving the place a caffe feeling. Some candles and somewhat lower lighting could go the inner further. I think the attention to small details makes customers appreciate. for example, why not use stainless steel eis eimer instead of plastic, which I enjoyed the chicken liver parfait, served with roasted brioche and chutney. so good. I had a fleshy piece of tea for the main, well presented and cooked...read more"

"I love this place. I was once in the private dining room down, but this time we were in the main restaurant. the atmosphere is beautiful and relaxed, eating and service is just as brilliant and it is not devastating overpriced when everything that it is very affordable and worth every penny as eating is sublime. we came to a birthday dinner with friends and none of us can expect to go back. I would recommend blixen to everyone."

"We visited this restaurant on our first night in Durham as it was close to where we were staying. I am delighted that we did as the food was really good. There was a very good choice of main meals and also desserts. I can thoroughly recommend the chicken dishes and also the pannecotta. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we returned again on our last night. The service was very good and our waiter was especially attentive and helpful as I have to eat gluten free. Thank you for two very enjoyable and tasty meals out."

"my wife and I try to get a meal at least once a month, previous visits here were very good. starter were in order, but I ordered a medium rare filet steak for my head, got my steak, which was done well, mistakes happen, but try to tell me that the steak was medium rare was just frustrating, I should not explain the difference, so replaced my steak with a medium rare, although after my wife had finished her meal."

"So I did Ping Pong twice in a week. Once with a friend because it was local (St Paul's) and second, because I was at Wembley for a concert and it was the one with the smallest queue. Ping Pong has never really been a draw for me in the past, its never been a case of I MUST GO THERE. I have passed it several times when in Westfield Stratford and settled on Bumpkin, Busaba Eathai, even TGI Friday's. I am starting to come around to dim sum. With recent visits to Hakkasan, Bintang and Mama Lan, these tasty Chinese style bite sized pockets of goodness are growing on me. Ping Pong spaces are always quite big. I love the dark wood and rich chocolately interior. I live for the island seating, watching the Chefs do their thing (not at all locations). For now, I will focus on Wembley, simply because I was impressed with the seamless service regardless of the fact that it was mad busy with concert goers everywhere. We queued for 45 minutes which is to be expected with 65,000 people in the area. This was made up of actually standing in the queue and then having a drink at the bar. The system they have is good, they take your mobile and call you when your table is ready. This is the only way for them to successfully navigate through the traffic of bar customers and queuing hungry people. At the bar, my only negative so far was that the wine was not chilled so we needed ice. Diluted wine is not a good thing. Once we were sat, our waitress was unaffected by the demanding clientele in her section, was chirpy and attentive. The sequence of service was flawless. Drinks arrived promptly, food arrived as it was ready. The food was good. All the staff floated around the room, appearing to be in control. If there was tension, I could not see it. This site is obviously built for volume on days like this and they have the right team to facilitate it. In terms of food, I will amalgamate both dining experiences as they were on par. We went all out ordering duck spring rolls, prawn on toast with mango salsa and soft shell crab. There was also prawn and chive dumplings, I had black prawn dumpling. Honeyed chicken and mushroom rice pot and vegetable sticky rice completed the banquet. I think that Ping Pong lends itself well to sharing. There is so much goodness, it would be rude not to share. I will continue my dim sum journey and if Ping Pong happens to be in the vicinity, it will certainly be considered for another visit."

"This restaurant is excellent. The dishes I have tried are beautifully presented, generous in portion size, and delicious. It is clear that a lot of care goes into creating the food and designing the menu. The chefs must be very skilled. I particularly enjoyed the fish dishes and the fantastic rice. The desserts and cocktails are also top-notch and crafted with skill. The restaurant has a spacious and stylish ambiance with beautiful lighting. The staff is friendly and attentive. The prices are very reasonable compared to other kosher restaurants, making it a great place to enjoy a wonderful meal. Overall, a fantastic dining experience."

"Where do I start initially, the evening started well, the staff were great. Staff: 8/10 Food: 5/10 Food was basic Ambience/Music: 1/10 The Driver advised us that we can play our music, so we created our playlist, bought our own devices, laptops, cables etc....Everything got plugged in, and we were ready to go. The music kept cutting out; we couldn't even hear the music being played, the speakers were not functioning. One of our guests eventually fixed the speakers; the music still was cutting out. The staff tested the cable, tested the power supply; it clearly was not working; we spent 3 hours trying to resolve this issue. Finally, we were offered an alternative solution, portable speakers, which could have been provided earlier? However, at this point, the ambience had died, and we had to take the party elsewhere. We were offered £100.00 worth of drinks, bearing in mind the average price for drinks were £8.00, A very disappointing evening. Advice to The Driver Team: Ensure to check your appliance/systems before an event."

"My experience with the 'penny pizza' promotion at this restaurant was not very positive. Despite being a good deal, one of the pizzas arrived much later than the others, an extra pizza was charged on the bill, and the quality of the pizzas was disappointing. The toppings were dry and overly sweet, and the crust lacked chewiness. While I have enjoyed drinks at this venue before, I will not be dining there again."
