Freshly sautéed green beans with garlic and a hint of lemon for a vibrant, crunchy side dish.

"We've been big fans of Cafe Rouge, Bath since it opened, and have always appreciated its lively atmosphere and friendly staff. Obviously it's not haute, haute cuisine but good, French style food without too many frills. Today we booked a table for two, as our kids had given us a voucher at Christmas and we thought a Saturday night treat was in order. We expected the place to be busy, but it wasn't; and we noticed customers being turned away even though it was early (before 8.00pm) apparently because of staff shortages. The staff were pleasant (as usual) but service was not particularly prompt. My partner's food was good quality (prawns for starters with moule for mains) but my French onion soup probably spent the day in a pot, and my sirloin steak (rare) was overly gristly, so I had to leave a sizeable amount. It almost feels disloyal to say this but we will think twice about returning. I hope the staffing shortages improve, and we return to the Cafe Rouge, Bath we once enjoyed."

"very enjoyed our stay here yesterday evening, beautiful renovated rooms (we were the first people to stay in it) the use of the executive lounge was a beautiful surprise with complementary eating and drinking. the fitness suite has the most modern equipment and a Fab pool. we were aware of the construction work at check-in, but it did not affect our stay at all. would definitely recommend and would remain."

"We received a warm welcome upon arrival, and the lady at the front desk wished me a happy birthday, which was a lovely touch. We were seated at a nice table, and the waiting staff was attentive and very helpful when we inquired about the menu. The wine list was impressive, and the food was delightful. The restaurant was quite busy, which is unusual for a Tuesday evening, creating a perfect atmosphere."

"After we have booked through the opentable app for 18.45 clock, we actually arrived at over 45 minutes early, but it was not a problem for the staff and we were sitting fast. the starters arrived soon after ordering and were very nice. for the net we had made the burgers and 2 of our party requested well, and the third was a regularly cooked burger, in contrast to some restaurants that cannot differentiate and cook as they were the burgers to this occasion were served exactly as we requested. we have shown on a NEC show, so it is regrettable that we are continuing from soihull."

"Zonzo's is a local of ours as we live nearby. I met a couple of friends for Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago. We chose bruschetta salmone affumicato which was simply delicious and lived up to any canape you could have. The tricolore was wonderful and it was a very generous portion! Moving on to the mains the pollo rosemarino was succulent and my spag bol was very similar to what I used to order in Italy when I lived there. The service was impeccable all conducted under the watchful eye of the head waiter, Wais! He looked after his customers with patience and empathy. It's a tough time for the hospitality industry but Zonzo's seems to be in the winning lane!!!"

"I had low expectations when I decided to book a last-minute Mother’s Day meal at Zizzi’s. With my dad recently passing away, I wanted to take my mum out for a change of scenery. Despite not having our reservation, we were seated at a dirty table. The seafood platter was disappointing, as it was oily and soggy. Our main courses were hit and miss, with my salmon being dry and tasteless. The service was slow and the staff seemed overwhelmed and understaffed. The restaurant itself was dirty and unkempt. Overall, I was hoping for a clean and friendly experience but left feeling disappointed and out of pocket. £105 for 3 people was not worth it."

"Well what can I say, there were only two other couples total 4 people) in the café, both had been served a little while ago as they had finished their meals. Were were told when we came in find a table as we will be doing table service today. I scanned in NHS app, did the hand gel bit told to find a table. So far so good, sat down at table and waited and waited, and waited, one staff member fussing in the serving area, the waitress who showed us in eventually disappeared out the back we think to talk to her friend. We waited, and waited etc. etc. etc we even tried to get the attention of the waitress still fussing in the serving area really not doing much at all, and even she went out the back, we waited for a further period, even the other two couples kept looking, so after some time we simply walked out and went to a café that wanted our custom. We would not have minded if they were busy, but they were not. Absolute disgusting service (well if we had any). At a time where restaurants etc need the custom this Waterfront café obviously does not. We go to Portsmouth a lot, needless to say we will not be using the Waterfront Café ever again, we will also tell our family and friends to avoid."

"We were very disappointed in Zizzis. We normally go to Bella Italia but thought we would give Zizzis a try. We waited far too long for drinks, for food (which was average at best) and, even though we allowed plenty of time, we did not have time for dessert. The problem appeared to be very few staff. the waiter who served us made a big fuss about the fact that we would have to wait ages for a pizza or a pasta dish because we were gluten intolerant. No other restaurant we have visited has made us feel that it is so much bother to cook gluten free. As I said, food was average at best and £37 for a plate of risotto, a skewer full of vegs and a couple of chunks of chicken and two glasses of wine !!"

"The service was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The soup was beautiful, but I was disappointed with the broth. The Sunday roast included five components: meat, carrots, potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding. Considering the 15% service charge for a meal over £30, I expected a bit more. It was good, but not exceptional. For the price, I anticipated a lot more in terms of flavor and experience on my plate. The sticky toffee pudding was tasty, but not warm enough. I'm usually the first to give compliments, but this meal fell short of my expectations given the price, and I expected much more. This was my second visit, and unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be returning. I'm sorry to say that."

"Firstly, I am somewhat amazed at the reviews theis venue has based on our visit on Saturday evening. We arrived 45 minutes early for our table for 4 persons at 7.30pm as I had called ahead at lunchtime asking if they had a bar area that we could sit and select from the menu in advance of being seated in the restaurant. I was given the impression that they had a lavish area for this purpose. However, this was not the case and we were shown to our table on arrival which was probably the worst location in the restaurant that was sparse of diners at that time. I will elaborate on our table location as it made for a negative night. It was a circular table placed in a “gap” between the original restaurant area and what appeared to be an extension to the restaurant. This gap did have curtains that could have been closed which would have curtailed guests and staff squeezing between the wall and one of our chairs but when asked the Owner said he would not close them……. In fairness, “Theo” the Owner did offer the choice another two alternative tables but both were in no better location! We sat and ordered drinks and were provided with menus. The drinks arrived in a timely fashion and were made fine. I also ordered some wine which was decanted and allowed time to breath before being served. The wine was an Amorone but the year did not warrant the price he was charging but nonetheless was quite good. We placed our food order and in doing so I asked if chef would add a simple fried egg to top the steak I had ordered. I was told by Theo that he was down a number of staff on the evening shift and could not provide the egg. How many people would we have needed to fry an egg???? To be honest the whole experience was not worth almost £500.00 even though the food fine. We also found it disturbing the way Theo tried to control the waiting staff this may have been because they were young or new to the role but we felt that the staff did a good job and didn’t need micro managing! I am always curious when a front of house individual, who gives the impression he is in total control, loses the plot mid service. I did tell Theo I would give a poor review and he pretty much dismissed me so I dug a little deeper and it would appear the restaurant has suffered financial issues in the very recent past…….. this information is in the public domaine through Google. All in all we were so disappointed with a venue that appears to have a wealth of happy diners from their reviews……. It’s NOT that good Guys!!!"

"dear diary, this time our trip to england was a mix of work and vacation. at many days we had to hurry for meeting in various cities and had to get the trains and because we are so punctual (not), we had hardly any time to eat before we arrived in the train. that is when we arrived at the railway station leon over leon and then realized that they have a chain of restaurants throughout the city. her motto is a healthy almost food and they live totally on it. for the breakfast menu, their bacon egg rolls are the most delicious! and for their daily menu they have a whole series of salads and hot crates. we had the chargrilled chicken chilli hot box, Moroccan meatballs hotbox and the chicken and chorizo club hotbox- all these were super delish! So if they are the next time on the go, they know where they are going!"

"If you want an amazing food, great service, great wine and very good price then Wildwood is the restaurant for you. We tried pasta, and steaks and even the Philly cheese steak and everything was outstanding. This was out last night in Crawley and totally worth it to close the trip on this high note. It is so amazing to fine a gem like this and I could go to this restaurant again and again and still feel like the first time. I would order the table in advance We will be back for sure next year as there are so many more dishes to try out."

"We went to Harry's for the first time in many years on November it was fabulous nothing was too much trouble the food was devine, I had lobster and cheese shuffle my husband had a Tbone steak ..This time we were so excited to have booked on March our wedding anniversary, I had the same as last time except I also tried the rock chips... The food was nice the lobster was a little over done but I still enjoyed it, the shuffle wasn't a patch on the one in November it was tasteless and didn't look like a shuffle the presentation wasn't great, this time my husband's steak although tasty was very tough... We didn't complain as the food was still good just not fabulous as it was before. Still would give this restaurant another go."

"Lovely atmosphere and great waitress service. Really good food but sadly not everything on the menu was available at lunch time reason given was it is all cooked fresh so takes time needs sorting as two of our dishes were not available and it was a birthday dinner and it was his two dishes. Also I cant eat tomatoes and was charged extra for substituting sliced avocado which I think is wrong. However overall had a great time"

"I love this coffee house on Goodge Street in Central London! Coffee at Black Sheep is delicious. The musical selection is hip. But the best of all is the wonderful staff. I always feel welcomed. Service is extraordinary. Mornings often find a group of thespians enthusiastically discussing theater on their way to classes down the street at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, Local shopkeepers discuss business, regulars drop in for a cup of java on the way to work. The buzz is enlivening. Relaxing. Welcoming. There are a lot of coffee shops in the neighborhood. This one is my favorite."

"a nice afternoon dinner. we booked for a table of 10 for a afternoon dinner and had a good time. it can be difficult to book online so we arranged the hotel marriott and they booked us in carluccios. tony called me the day before to make sure we were still before our booking. at the arrival the manager (a woman) did not know that we were pre-ordered, but her colleague has laid our table and waited for us. all staff were very nice and professional, service was prompt and friendly. the food was traditional Italian fare and well cooked. the drink selection was also very nice and the cocktails went well down. dephran took care of our table and was extremely professional and friendly. we celebrated a birthday and the personal brought a cake and extra cutlery, nothing was too much annoyed and they did it with a smile. the restaurant is spacious and has a beautiful feeling, with seating for groups, families and couples. it is located in the marriott hotel, which is a beautiful bar and lobby area next to the restaurant. there is a fee for parking, but there is a lot of space. if they are well cooked Italian cuisine in west london in a beautiful environment with good service then carluccio is definitely worth visiting. we will definitely visit again. thanks to all the staff."

"I enjoyed a delightful and tasty pre-theater dinner. The food was delicious, although the portions were a bit on the smaller side—except for the enormous sorbet, which was a fantastic treat. Overall, it was good value with a very pleasant atmosphere and excellent service."

"A group of 5 of us had early dinner prior to attending the boxing at the Millennium Stadium. The staff are always very friendly and efficient and we were seated immediately as we had booked in advance. The only concern was that my fillet steak was not as requested, it was medium to well done instead of medium rare. This was rectified but the others had finished eating their main course by the time mine arrived. My steak was perfectly cooked and everything else was freshly served too. The manager came to say that there would be no charge for the steak and also we were given a free bottle of the excellent Rioja Crianza. I was very impressed by the no quibble promptness which left a very good impression on us all. Thank you."

"just an occasional Saturday evening out, but we were made warmly welcome. Service was excellent and the food tasty and as described. We really enjoyed our cocktails and did not feel rushed as the food came at reasonable intervals. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant. It's also really nice to be able to use Tesco points don't feel we have to economise on the drinks when the food is paid for with vouchers and it was so easy to organise."

"We've been going to the Cafe Rouge for years and were thrilled that we were early enough for breakfast. We're going in front of a football match, when the bacon was completely cold, we had no time to return it and reheat it. On the other hand, the mushroom cooked hot. The waitress was forgotten and we had to remind her at least half a dozen times about forgotten requests. Eg we wanted brown sauce, in the end I got up and collected it, or our breakfast would have been colder. Large employees change over the last few weeks and they are all a bit under-trained and not as efficient as before."
