"Omnino meaning all together in Latin serves quality Argentinian meats on a fairly nondescript basement space. Unlike an Argentinian steakhouse that is full of life and charisma, Omnino Steakhouse service, ambience and interior is dull. It is as if the joy of being in an Argentinan steakhouse was removed and replaced with a degree of uprightness. With that said the meat cuts including fillet, sirloin, picaÑa, rump and ribeye cuts are superb. The three cuts ordered for the table were perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. In terms of the sides, the black truffle gnocchi is rich and full of flavour. Highly recommended. The dessert menu is traditional including the usual suspects including dulce de leche cheesecake and Don Pedro, with the alfajores unfortunately not being available. Price wise a cut of meat will start you at £18.95 for an Argentine 250g Rump and top you at £49.00 for the ribeye foie gras. The sides come in at an average of £5.00. The wine list is strong, offering a variety of high quality Argentinian and Chilean options. Omnino is doing everything right in the kitchen. The front of house and ambience is uninspiring and dull. Something to work on and improve, in order to deliver on the promise of all together ."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Petite Coree, and it was an absolute culinary delight. The starters were a perfect introduction to the meal, with a variety of flavorful and beautifully presented options. The mains were nothing short of delicious, with each dish showcasing the authentic flavors of Korean cuisine. And let's not forget about the amazing cocktails they were expertly crafted and perfectly complemented the meal. To top it all off, we indulged in some mouthwatering Korean ice cream that left us wanting more. The combination of great food, fantastic cocktails, and delightful desserts made for an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to savor the best of Korean cuisine."

"Make the hipster jokes early. The Lioness of Leith is a funky pub at the bottom of Leith Walk that’s full of fun decorations – like parrots, neon and a pinball machine converted into a table. It’s a complete overhaul of the dangerous and dark pub that once stood on the corner. The walls have been knocked into large windows. In the sun it’s lovely and bright. I appreciate it’ll probably get much more gloomy at night. Staff and friendly and fun. The range of drinks is good. My experience, though, The Lioness of Leith has been all about the Sunday lunches. I’m yet to try their dinner menu because it looks so weird and posh (hipster, right) but half a chicken on Sunday between two with Yorkshire puddings, tatties, veggies and some lovely gravy. What a treat! Turn up for a Sunday lunch and be prepared to wait for your table. [Update April 2023: I wrote my original review when the Lionesses was just a pup. How has it changed? It's still great. Staff still friendly. It's so great it's super busy so book your table!"

"We made a reservation for a table for two at this restaurant for a birthday meal. I had recommended the Inn before, as our previous experiences had been good, but unfortunately, this visit was not up to par. When we arrived, the restaurant was almost empty, with only one other table occupied. We were seated at the back, away from the main part of the pub, which limited our interaction with the atmosphere. Both of us had initially ordered fish for our main course, but were told that it was not available. We tried to choose different dishes, but were informed that this was not possible. My friend, who is a vegetarian, was really looking forward to the fish dish, so he eventually settled for the cod loin from the Christmas menu. However, it turned out to be disappointingly dry and lacking the expected butter sauce. My own main course was passable, but nothing remarkable. Even the prawn starter seemed overcooked and burnt. The lack of atmosphere and feeling out of place further added to our disappointment."

"Went for express lunch menu. 2 ordered the Mediterranean salad topped with choice of grilled chicken breast or halloumi. There was no mention anywhere that both items were an extra cost. £3.50 and £2.50 respectively. Waiter wasn’t much help when we queried it and sadly we refused to pay the service charge, which he also queried despite it being “optional”. First time we’ve had an issue."

"The vegan options are honestly disappointing. It feels as though vegans are disregard with basic options which are not good value. I would love to see the next revised menu with interesting and intriguing vegan options, as many of my family and friends love the herm, but as a vegan I am not excited about any of the food available. I have given the 5 stars I feel the hermitage deserves, from the service and atmosphere, with the hope of an enticing vegan menu in the future. Update. The new vegan options are still disappointing."

"Dolcinos was recommended by the person I was meeting, and I was at first excited by the sweets, and took my time choosing. The milkshakes looked tempting but I chose the lemon sorbet which unfortunately had the consistency of snot. I am not sure if it had melted and been refrozen; it was unpleasant. The person I met offered me part of a mini-cannoli. I had been suspicious of them as they were prefilled and the place had not even bothered to remove them from the shrink wrap and cardboard that made me think they had come from Costco. Cannoli should be filled just before serving, that day at the earliest. If there was ricotta in it, it was hard to tell. It seemed like sweetened concrete. Worst of all were the toilets, looked and smelled like someone had urinated on the floor and loo roll was everywhere. Best part, the staff were friendly, and there is free water available. It was not worth taking photos."

"From booking to payment, an all-round good experience. There is free direct access from the free public car-park behind although there is also free parking in the street outside if available. The request for a table in a quieter area (if there is one) so we can hold a conversation, was listened to and we were pleased to be away from the busy centre. Waiting staff were friendly and service was impeccable with just the right degree of attentiveness at all the right times. The food was delightful both in taste and presentation and the portions very generous. We had to take some home! We will definitely be going back as there is a lot more on the menu we want to try and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening there."

"This is a lovely restaurant with delicious food and cocktails, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The decor is gorgeous, but the spotlights can be too bright, making it feel more like a café. If you switched them off and relied on the beautiful hanging lights, it would create a wonderful atmosphere."

"This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. On New Year's Eve, there were only four of us in the restaurant—until another group of four very unhappy guests arrived. The loud rock music from the bar was completely inappropriate for the setting. Despite the stressed and apologetic waitress and our efforts to have it turned down, nothing changed. The atmosphere was completely lacking, so we tried to make the best of it by turning off the lights and enjoying our fairly decent meal by candlelight. We were eager to leave this disappointing place, so we skipped dessert and coffee. The starters and main courses were fine, but overall, it was quite a letdown."

"Went for afternoon tea. £25 for two people. Poor start to the experience, we asked the girl serving us some basic questions about the menu and she couldn 't answer a single one, so she checked with another member of staff, this happened 4 times and eventually she gave up and sent over the other member of staff and we finally ordered. The afternoon tea consisted of 1 sandwich each (cut into 3 fingers) so only 1 flavour each (I had egg, my husband had salmon and cream cheese) hardly a selection of sandwiches as per the menu. 1 small cherry scone each with jam and cream (whipped not clotted) and 3 very small petit fours each. For £25 I would have expected a lot more food, perhaps a slice of cake (they had tonnes of homemade cakes on the counter which looked nice). Food was very basic, the egg mayo was just that, no cress etc. Salmon and cream cheese had very little filling. Cherry scone was bland and stodgy in the middle. Petit fours were small and nothing exciting. Overall for what we had I would have only paid around £10 £15 max. The man who eventually served us was a very pleasant guy, and he seemed a little embarrassed by our response to the lack of food, he did offer to get the chef to make us some additional sandwiches if needed. The place was very quite and I felt like the other guests were starring at us so I didn 't want to make a scene so rather than take him up on the offer we paid up and left. This was meant to be a special treat to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary, but instead we were left disappointed and hungry."

"I had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. I tried the festive menu and enjoyed all the dishes. The server was kind enough to switch my calamari for buffalo wings when I had food envy. They also honored the 2 cocktails for £12 deal, even though it was a weekday offer. The restaurant took all necessary COVID precautions and practiced social distancing, which may have contributed to the quieter atmosphere than usual for this time of year. Typically, there would be a more lively party atmosphere."

"my daughter was married here at the weekend and nr. 4 the village was an absolutely wonderful environment. the staff (very much to be friends, very fast) was amazingly welcoming and nothing was too much annoyed for them. they were incredibly courteous, extremely professional and quietly efficient, without ever appearing to be quite a **** to lift off. eating was excellent, with all the time for perfection of the device for the ceremony itself, changing everything quickly for the recipe meal, while the high-time photos made out. only a phenomenal day with beautiful love to detail. I couldn't talk about all the involved anymore and thanks go to everyone."

Fantastic band and we ordered some small plates to fill our stomachs. Great vibes, great food and lovely service. It's been fab since the refurbishment and change of hands."

"steady. carluccio in smithfield is like a back-up, a reasonable alternative for me when I close to smithfield or comptoir gascon and they are full for a woken breakfast / brunch. this is a quite common hesitation, as sos cg slide the scale higher and are more desirable due to the trendy, more prosperous masses that are more frequent this part of the city. but we should not think less of the local carluccio. it has been shown to Italian cafe food of a steady quality. yes, the deli items in front of the shop are overpriced, but there is a focus on regional specialities, and it is a convenient holding point for mozzarella, ricotta, parma ham, dried porcini, risotto rice, tinted fish and saffron if they cannot find it elsewhere. the inner of this branch is light and airy, with high ceilings and a very relaxed feeling, making it ideal for a long brunch with friends and some wash papers. Coffee and baked are decent, the full breakfast is not bad for £8.50 that contains coffee juice, plus it grilled pancetta instead of fat speck. nice! it is also one of the rare places in london that makes bicerin. there are no pizzas here, but the pasta is again decent. I like the ricotta spinat ravioli served simply in sage butter. pasta here is actually cooked to al dente. I also like their thick, peasy pasta e fagioli (pasta beane) but not so sharp on their meek-watery mushroom soup. the menu changes with the season and there are daily specialties that are for a chain, is nice to see."

"The Kite is a charming venue in the heart of Hitchin that has been a family favourite for a number of years. We hired the Marshall room back in 2020 for my baby shower and all our guests were so impressed by the atmosphere, service and the amazing gazing table that when I started looking for a venue for our wedding reception, the Kite was at the top of our list. From the first enquiry Ben was warm, welcoming and showed a real interest in our special day compared to the corporate feel we had experienced elsewhere. Ben was so helpful and guided us through all the options, his attention to detail really helped ensure we had the perfect day. We hired the whole venue, with an intimate wedding breakfast in the Marshall with 30 guests followed by an evening reception with 100 guests in the bar/restaurant and garden area. The venue looked beautiful, the food was delicious as always, especially the grazing table which our guests loved! Everyone commented on how lovely the reception was and that is down to Ben and his team, they could not have done more to help. The service and quality here is just the best."

"Confused from the start. We were told we had to prebook, when we got there this is for only groups of 10? We received our precooked food before we had ordered drinks. We were then pretty rushed through our meal, in and out in less than an hour. We feel we were treated as happy hour customers who unfortunately paid full price. Also one of our party couldn’t make it as was poorly. We were told as pre booked and pre cooked we had to pay for the meal, which we did and took away in a doggy bag. Finally came to pay the bill and was then told we would not be charged for the the meal for our friend. Dark room, average food."
