"My friend and I often visit the Old Halfway House as it’s local to us both. Until relatively recently, we have been for the lunchtime menu, and it’s been fairly good. The pub has a nice atmosphere, and it’s clean and tidy. However, the menu has now changed; the lunchtime menu has increased from £6 to £8. Soft drinks have also increased, and a glass of coke is now £4.25, which is simply too much. This last visit, I ordered scampi chips and peas. I could hardly believe my eyes when the server brought my meal. There were 9 small pieces of scampi, a few chips and what I estimated to be 1 spoon of peas. I was really upset about this. The tartar sauce was also underwhelming a tiny bit in the bottom of the dish. The plate actually looked like a child’s meal. Ok, so we all know prices are increasing across all sectors, but whilst pubs need to make a profit, customers also need value for money, and this falls woefully short of what one would expect. Would a few extra peas and chips, and maybe a couple more pieces of scampi really cost that much more for better customer satisfaction? I’ll answer that myself no. When the lady came to collect our plates, we were asked if everything was ok. I mentioned the measly portion size, and she said she’d mention it to the kitchen. We remained in the pub a good 20 minutes, but she never returned, so I don’t know what the kitchen had said. We were going to order dessert, but after seeing that portion size, decided we wouldn’t bother. As mentioned before, we eat out locally once a week, so we have plenty of places with which to compare this to, and it falls way short of the competition. It is sad, but we will be finding somewhere with better value for money in future."

"We were celebrating my birthday. This was a return visit to the restaurant as we loved the lobster wellington we had the previous time. We ordered it again and still thought it was great. Although expensive it does come with various side dishes. The menu overall is excellent as there is lots of seafood on it which we love. We had a lovely cote du Rhine white wine with it. As the main is so filling though we shared an interesting chocolate dessert which was plenty for us. The staff were attentive and friendly answering our questions. Service was very good. After our meal, we also had a tour of the new basement levels with the pool and spa. We had watched the recent documentary on tv. and we were fascinated by this massive engineering task. We love our luxury London hotels but especially Claridge’s. It’s so beautiful."

"Just over the road from Marylebone station, on the corner, this is a very small cafe in the traditional English style. The service however is anything but traditional, it is fast and efficient, even to the point of little order tickets. I ordered the breakfast special, at a fiver and fifty including tea or coffee it was the perfect medium breakfast. Bigger eaters will want to add a few extras to get the full English but regardless the prices are very reasonable for this part of London. The food is not fancy but it is good honest fare. You can't beat a good English breakfast on a winter morning and this cafe gives you that, without the hassle of places like Wetherspoons or the blandness of McDonalds. It is not the place for a quiet brunch but there is a comforting bussiness here."

"I went to the Sports Bar Grill as it was my birthday and I chose it specifically for its food aspect and with the added bonus of screens for the football. I ordered a burger and a Knronebourg and my wife had the cod and chips and a vodka and coke. We arrived as the match was just ending but that wasn't a problem, after the football finished they put on rock music and I think it was a tad too loud as trying to have a conversation wit my wife was quite difficult The food was really good and the waiter/waitresses were always in attendance, my wife ordered more cokes which came in tumblers rather than half or quarter sized glasses I booked using the tastecard and the bill was only so I added tip and paid and left. After we left I checked how much we saved using the tastecard and it was but I was a bit taken aback when I saw the prices of the cokes which were each which was a bit steep for a tumbler of coke as a vodka and coke was so for another my wife could have had a shot of vodka in her cokes Overall apart from the rip off soft drinks and the slightly noisy atmosphere it was enjoyable hour or so."

"I brought my family here for Mother’s Day and the dining experience did not disappoint. The cocktails were lovely, the food was simply delicious and the service was 5 stars. We stayed for 3 courses and handed the table back at the end of our time slot which was more than enough time to eat, talk and enjoy the lovely atmosphere. The calamari and steak were cooked to perfection not overcooked and rubbery as some places serve. The classic pad Thai was scrumptious and did not disappoint with the peanuts served on the side allowing me to choose how crunchy I wanted it. The tofu was nicely done as well. My mother absolutely loved the sorbet flavours offered for dessert and the banana pancakes and vanilla ice cream was a welcomed treat. We advised them of an allergy or intolerance and they were very diligent and attentive to this. Often checking before serving each course. Portion sizes were reasonable and so was the pricing. Definitely value for money and I intend to go back."

"4 of us were here last night. Meals were brought out one at a time with several minutes in between and one order did not arrive at all. Girl at the till said we never ordered anything else yet knew what sides had been ordered to go with the apparent non-order. No apology, no discount, no offer of a refund. Just told order would be added on and waved the card machine in our faces. Another order the chicken was rubbery and under cooked. Same girl who claimed to be the manager took the plate away, brought it back saying too much had been eaten to offer a refund and tried to put the plate back on the table. Her attitude was terrible and showed the same disinterest to the table next to us who also had an issue with food being missed off their order. If this girl genuinely is a manager I think you definitely need to work on staff training. Staff should not be shrugging their shoulders completely disinterested when it has been an error on their part and not even offer an apology. The attitude of so called managerial staff in here last night was absolutely abhorrent and we certainly won't be back"

"Ordered a take out in time for the Boks vs Wales game. Having eaten Nando’s whilst living in South Africa (where it originates from) the food was of very poor quality. The chicken livers were chopped up with no sauce at all, the accompanying Portuguese roll which you’re supposed to use to soak up said non existing sauce didn’t arrive. The fives sticks of halloumi arrived as two skinny slices laid at the bottom of a large box of air. The grilled miele was only grilled in one stripe not all over and was over cooked and dry. The coleslaw wasn’t too bad. The boneless thighs were surprisingly dry and lack lustre. Over all the meal was very disappointing and a very pale comparison to the authentic Nando’s. Thank goodness the game didn’t disappoint!"

"Amazing Carbonara was blown away by it. Unfortunately the goat’s cheese starter was awful cold and cloying and lacking in dressing. To finish I tried the tiramisu which should be light and fluffy, this was solid, stodgy and had a weird taste??? I finished with an Irish Coffee which did t even appear to have cream and was really an awful version of the classic. The cream was mixed with the coffee which was not great and the coffee was instant! If you like carbonara and very friendly hospitality then go, just avoid the goat’s cheese, tiramisu and Irish Coffee."

"the presentation of eating is good. However, all three sirloin steaks we ordered were boiled over. the service was minimal with only one staff that took service and order. when pouring a bottle of red wine on our weinglas it was as fast as it filled with water and without showing us the bottle and trying it out. inside damentoilette just came out of the kubikal found a male personal cleaning and it scared me. this type of service at hilton was not expected."

"We came for lunch on a Sunday quite early and ordered one Chicken Shawarma, x 4 Sweet Potato Fries, Cookie Dough Bonanza and Kunefe. 5mins later the waiter says don't have any of the desserts we asked for or the Chicken Shawarma so we said we'll take 4 drinks and fries, another 5mins later a different waitress came to inform us they didn't have any sweet potato fries, eventually we cancelled all the food as they couldn't give us what we originally came for to order. We drank our drinks in an empty restaurant (I wonder why) and the floors were sticky on the way to the restroom. This place used to be great hence why we came today only be let down by the low standards that have befallen this place. They could of got the sweet potato fries from Home Bargain next door, it would be understanable if it was near closing time. Did the cook not inform the waiter/waitresses what wasn't available to order beforehand? Just made them look clueless"

"The salmon bowl was incredibly flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. The grilled broccoli and black bean salsa bowl was fantastic as well; the spices and flavors truly impressed us. The curry taste was delightful, the black beans were sweet and delightful, and the sweet potatoes were cooked to perfection. We couldn’t find anything to criticize. If I could offer a suggestion, it would be to include flavor descriptions for the cocktails, as we underestimated their strength. They sounded sweet and fruity, but were surprisingly sharp and syrupy. I highly recommend this restaurant; it stands out from the typical tourist traps that charge too much for mediocre food. This place is exceptional, and I didn’t want to leave. I will definitely be back. Amazing!"

"This is a hidden gem of London! Great service extremely fast and polite. The food is absolutely delicious with fresh ingredients. I had an amazing tagliatele bolognese with fresh tomato sauce and real parmigiana. The chicken a la milanese was also perfect. The surprise at the end is the unbelievable low prices. This is one of the nicest at spotless small restaurants I ever had lunch in London. Highly recommended!"

"The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the gluten free options. All the corn tortilla tacos are gluten free except the fish ones. They were all delicious although a little pricey. It's a shame the corn chips are cooked in contaminated oil so coeliac people can't have them."

"We are from Los Angeles visiting relatives and we booked a High Tea. Initially, we were served with nice friendly service as we sat down and placed our order. After that not one server even came back to ask if we needed refill with teas or water. While the three tables around were served with three times and they are all Caucasians. We are Asians. Please tell me there is no discrimination here in UK. Even after I had to flag down a server and her mannerisms were not quite friendly. This gave me a very bad impression with a restaurant like this."

"I'm not sure what this place wants to be. It was playing club music but in the surrounding of a fine dine establishment. To be fair the steak was really nice but felt the other dishes lacked imagination they were all quite similar. Finally I just felt it was all over priced for what was on offer."

"I went out for a special mother's day lunch, I thought the the food was off poor quality and really over priced for what was served. I had the salmon and everything was really oily and was also served vegetables on the side which was also full of butter, spinach and the potatoes were just drained in oil not a very nice tasting experience. My mother had the sunday roast and this was very disappointing there was hardly any veggies served yorkshire pudding was tasteless. The prices for these meals for fairly expensive and they also add service charge on top and i think as they are closing down in the next week that they just don't care anymore."
