A delightful blend of creamy ice cream topped with rich chocolate sauce, crunchy nuts, and a cherry on top. Perfect indulgence!

"popped in for a beautiful pint looking for local pubs on google. at the moment I went into me, two workers were persecuted separately and asked if I were in order, as I almost made myself up in cash. What are you doing just to foot in I had to tell them both that I wanted to get one pint. I wanted to be persecuted, but I got it off. I ordered my pint (which by the way did not pour the girl properly) and paid and said that the cashier I can sit everywhere and he said yes how there were many places to sit. I went to a comfortable place and halfway away by asking my pint a coworker if I could go to another place, as my table reserved there was no reserve sign and I was a bit confused as I was told that I could sit somewhere. but I gave them the advantage of the doubt and moved. I was separated again and even had a bar employee wondering if everything was in order and if I wanted to order something else, he seemed nice. then asked me the same bar staff from before, who asked me to move earlier, and apparently this was also reserved. I was really unhappy and had to gulp the rest of my pints and go. He was so rude that you said you could sit everywhere, it was me, it was me and became quite aggressive and intimidating. I told him how unhappy I was that this happened twice with me and there was no indication on the table or any staff that the tables were reserved. this is probably the worst customer service I have ever received. the organization and management is a shame. here is a feedback for them: 1. You are a pub, stop pretending to be something imaginative. they serve pints on a bar, so they are a pub and should treat all customers equally. 2. they teach the rod personnel how to pour properly pints. 3. if a table is reserved, they make this clear for the customers so that they know which time the table is reserved and they can move accordingly. 4. customer service is everything. this will have an influence on her business, because mouthpropaganda is very powerful. look at their other reviews there are many others where people have said that the staff is rude."

"I am so disappointed that I won’t give 1 star because the of the building… Hostess was ok although he almost passed people in front of me for absolutely no reason. Me and my friends went to Sachi first; The waitress kept pushing water even though we were ordering bottles of wine, at some point bringing and opening a bottle of water we didn’t even want to but whatever we decided to go with it… she took a long time to come back to take our food order after we said we were ready and on our 2nd bottle of wine. Food came fast. Wagyu tataki was good but trout tartare came with crisps that was impossible to eat. I’d kindly recommend to the head chef review this as it’s a very difficult dish to eat all together but the flavours are spectacular! All sushi was great, eel, tuna, yellow tail.. shout out to mushroom one! Amazing! Sadly my 2 stars go all to service. 13.5% and the waiter at the roof top after dinner, dropped half of a bottle of wine on my dress while was serving the first glass… the I asked to have a new bottle, he was distressed and had to speak to his manager about it and we were waiting for about 30-40 minutes to be served after spending almost £300 at the restaurant and £60 in a bottle of wine dropped on my dress. Food is good but service was HORRIBLE."

"Startled well but went down hill quickly. Steak tartare on point. Then comes the roast; best Yorkshire I have had in a while. It was the age old gamble, do your risk the beef in a pub that claims to have “ restaurant quality food” or not. Despite the waitresses positivity sadly the beef roasties needed a strong dose of Prozac. Two slices of beef for the price is a little cheeky. Compounded by pretending to serve one of the slices medium rare only to turn it over and see its was cooked more than napalmed pig was insult to injury. Maybe that was the cause of the delay of it appearing. Service was fantastic, food average and this massively overpriced"

"Excellent! We spent around four hours here on a Tuesday afternoon sampling their food, savouring their coffee and scabbing their free wifi! I 'll start with the basics. The Refuge is conveniently located on Oxford Street just a two minute walk from the train station. The casual seating area is huge with plenty of places for different sized groups to sit, there 's even an Apprentice Style boardroom table. The vibe is very relaxed but when I entered I noticed a lot of business people (or people clearly working). The decor is fantastic, as mentioned its a huge open space but the dark wooden finish makes it feel close and comfortable. The lunch menu isn 't huge but they clearly want to keep things simple and do them right. I had the beef burger accompanied by skinny fries and it was delicious. Just the right consistency so you could pick it up without it falling apart. It was generously topped with salad and the 'posh big mac ' sauce finished it off nicely. If you want to eat you 'll have to head through to the dining area as they don 't serve food in the lounge beware this was very busy, even on a Tuesday, so you may need to book in advance. After lunch we headed back to the lounge area and had a coffees while we chatted. The coffee was great, I had a flat white which was just off on the good side of bitter. We also ordered snacks later in the day the Almonds cooked in bacon fat are a must try that might sound gross to some people but just wait until the bacon flavour hits your taste buds! To access the free wifi you 'll need to sign up wth your email address but then it 's all yours. I haven 't even received a spammy email a week later. It 's really hard to fault The Refuge the staff were attentive without being too in your face, which I suppose is important when people are using their premises for business meets! All in all a really great experience and a lovely place to spend the afternoon working."

"We came to the restaurant to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and try American cuisine. I was especially excited to try the food from the smoker, and the beef brisket did not disappoint. The steak was also delicious. For dessert, we had the fudge cake and New York cheesecake, both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. The service was exceptional."

"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."

"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."

"It was my first visit back to Black Blue in quite some time, and we enjoyed a delightful evening celebrating a special occasion. The staff took excellent care of us and were incredibly helpful throughout our meal. The quality of the food was quite good. We started with chicken skewers, which were flavorful, and for the main course, we ordered sirloin steak. Although the steak was cooked perfectly to our medium preference, it could have used a bit more seasoning, and the bearnaise sauce didn't quite meet our expectations. However, the fries and house salad were both outstanding. We finished with the New York cheesecake for dessert, and it was, as always, fantastic. The ambiance was comfortable and relaxing for a Sunday evening. Overall, it offered good value for money, and we eagerly anticipate our next visit."

"Old English hotel vibe, white table cloths, attentive though ultimately suffocating service. Atmosphere a bit painful, quiet, stuffy, uncomfortable. Appetizers were great, steak was dreadful. Thin and badly cooked. I sent it back and got a duplicate of the poor quality. They graciously comped it and we made a hasty exit vowing never to return."

"I 've been here a few times. It 's a nice enough pub, with a good range of ales. The staff are friendly enough, and the drinks are decently priced. It 's always quite busy and popular among the locals. But I had a bit of a frustrating experience the other day. Me and a friend of mine were walking my dog. It began to rain so we decided to grab a drink somewhere whilst it settled down. We were near the grapes, so I whipped out my phone and googled whether dogs were allowed in the pub. Online it says a child and dog friendly pub... and that dogs [are] allowed inside . I thought brilliant, me and my mate can grab a quick pint whilst we wait for the rain to stop. We go in the pub. Nobody says a word or bats an eye lid. We buy our drinks and go to sit down. As soon as we sit down, the landlady comes over, and, very politely, says dogs are not allowed in the pub. I have no problem with this. A lot of pubs don 't allow dogs in because they can be noisy, dirty, and some people just don 't like dogs. It 's totally fair enough. But it was frustrating because it meant we then had to stand outside in the rain and the cold. The information online is clearly out of date and needs changing. I just thought I 'd do a review to give other dog walkers a heads up, and make the owners aware that the online information is incorrect. The pub itself though is nice enough though. I 'll definitely go again but next time I 'll have to leave the dog at home."

"I typically avoid restaurants that are labeled as gastro, preferring pubs to be more traditional and restaurants to be separate entities. However, The Mark Cross Inn has merged the two, functioning more as a restaurant these days. Despite my initial reservations, I was pleasantly surprised by the tasty food and enjoyable dining experience I had with a group of 8. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was family-friendly and relaxed. Some of the dishes were served in a quirky manner, such as chips in small frying baskets, which I found charming but others in my party found unnecessary. Main dishes ranged from £10-£20, with options like steak burgers and battered cod being more budget-friendly. Overall, I had a lovely meal and would recommend The Mark Cross Inn for a casual lunch or family meal."

"We used a voucher from Travelzoo for this restaurant. The waitress seemed unhappy from the moment we arrived. She did not inquire about any dietary restrictions, and if I hadn't asked, we would have received the default meal. It would have been more beneficial if she had explained what to expect from the dining experience."

"Service without a smile. Purchased a takeaway at the cost of £32.50. Keema curry, Tikka masala curry, pilau rice, 6 chapatti, Samosa starter and pakora starter. The tikka masala had ONLY 5 PIECES of small chicken in it. ONLY 3 mini supermarket samosas in the portion. ONLY 5 pakora. How do they work out there portion sizes???? NO complimentary poppadoms, The first and LAST visit."

"Not for Sunday roast, my beef was swimming in gravy which instantly puts me off and the vegetables were totally disappointing cauliflower cheese which had something on top of it which tasted weird, cabbage and boiled carrots. What happened to lovely, tasty roasted carrots and parsnips with a roast?"

"quality of marketing for food delivery. drive to north of rustest, direction docks, they will see a series of humble hangars. go through the door of the next, the powder magazine and prepare to be woven. it has a lounge feeling, with enhanced brightness and generous support of comfortable seating. there is a hip-touch to its mix of old and new inner-queues. service is professional, precise and perceptible. eating is exciting, an excellent mix of traditional and modern cuisine that influenced British culture. the food proportions are enormous and the price is perfect. powder magazine is a place to relax and socialize at the weekend, more than a full culinary experience. So they come and take a friend or 3, take a few menus, enjoy."

"Lovely restaurant overlooking the bar, nice outside seating if weather permits. Service was friendly and attentive. Had mussels with sea vegetables to start which was good but very salty, maybe soak the sea vegetables to expel some salt. Monkfish was excellent and cooked, seasoned perfectly. No room for dessert so ordered a macchiato coffee but received a cappuccino. Good wine list and reasonably priced, **** Mary could have been better as it lacked spice and served with too much ice making it watery."

"After dining at this restaurant multiple times in the past, I was disappointed with a recent lunch visit. We ordered one Cod and Chips and one piece of cod on its own, as my wife has a small appetite. While the fish was delicious, the chips were soggy and seemed to be reheated. When it came time to pay, I was surprised to learn that the piece of fish on its own cost the same as the fish and chips. I tried to explain that there should be a price difference, but the staff insisted that they had to charge the same amount. This seemed like nonsense to me. I have reached out to the brewery for clarification, but I don't expect a quick response. Overall, I don't plan on returning to this restaurant anytime soon."

"Decided to drop in here early evening on a Saturday however did not have a table reservation. The hostess could not have been more obliging in trying to fit us in, and we were so glad that she did. The chicken nacho burger and seafood burger we had were absolutely fantastic. All the staff were so helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. We will definately return. Next time, we 'll book a table. Had not realised until after we had left that we used to drink there in the 90 's when it was formerly known as 'My Fathers Moustache '. Absolutely worth a visit. Fantastic. Keep it up Noose Monkey!"
