"The resturant offers an incredible dining experience with an atmosphere that’s perfect for dinner. The restaurant is always bustling, so booking is definitely required. While the waiters could be friendlier, the food more than makes up for it. The grilled fish (variety of freshly catch of the day fish) and oysters are absolute must-tries, served fresh and bursting with flavor. The mixed platter of oysters, featuring both local and international varieties, is outstanding, and the salads are equally impressive. Seared Scallops is the comeback dish, dont miss it. Despite the crowd and service, the overall experience is fantastic and well worth a visit."

"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."

"So, we revisited J Sheekey having last been just before the lockdown. We wanted it to be as good...we were not disappointed. We had the most incredible experience dining here. Yes the food was utterly delicious, but we were welcomed in by the team and were lucky enough to have Sorida (I really hope I have spelt that right) as our main waitress. She was serving in the furthest restaurant area to your right as you walk in, lunchtime on the 30th of December. And she is a STAR. We loved her smiley ways, she was warm and friendly and all her food recommendations were bang on. The starters were incredible, potted shrimp for some and tiger prawns for others....the mains of a halibut in a champagne sauce, the curry, and the fish and chips were amazing....and the puddings were to die for. Along with a couple of bottles of Whispering Angel. The team who brought the food to us had the same warm attitudes, and Luca the manager was also so warm and friendly, along with Antonio. But our main star was the food, the atmosphere and our lovely waitress. That is what will make us return again. My lovely Mum said that in her 82 years she has never enjoyed a restaurant visit as much as she enjoys this one. It's a tough ask J Sheekey, but please be as good when we return for the next time too! Thank you to all the team on the day, everything was wonderful."

"usually difficult to get a table short time, but we had practically the whole restaurant to ourselves around 19 clock on Thursday. this was due to the fact that the local hotel occupancy rates were strongly depressed and the people of home working due to covid 19. this empty, there was atmosphere missing but service excellent. good choice of all courses and I especially enjoyed the Oktopus starter. grilled cod main course cooked to perfection with large damp flocks of fish. criminality brûlée with rhabarb and coffee finish. a good choice of crying, but the brandup is exaggerated."

"Skylon is a curate 's egg. The location with stunning wide river view is hard to beat, but you are literally paying for that. The staff are welcoming and attentive (apart from not taking coats, which are hard to accomodate at the tables . Skylon 's prices in particular on drinks are over the top for the fare on offer. Skylon is the 'brasserie ' end ' of the room, but two of us still paid £150 for 2 courses each and a £40 bottle of wine between us (one of few 'affordable ' options on the list . My halibut was delicious but inexcusably tepid it was cooked OK so must have sat around before despatch to table. Frankly if I have to spend that much to enjoy this venue I will stick to the Skylon Grill at the other end of the room in future at least there are tablecloths and comfy seats there ; (However, I was lucky not to book there this time there was a large and very noisy party taking place in the Grill . Heads up for the over 40 's the dim lighting makes a nice ambience but doesn 't work well with menus printed in grey, small font. Reading glasses and phone light recommended!"

"I used to come here regularly with my family in the 90s 00s. In those days it 's wasn 't particularly expensive, just hard to get a table. Pre Covid I 'd visit two or three times a year for a treat and we were always made to feel special. We decided to treat ourselves again in early January to ward off the blues. If it didn 't have the 'brand ' attached I 'd have felt it was a very average restaurant. The front of house staff were rude (not quite as bad as the ones at The Ivy Chelsea Garden but close) and passive aggressive. It was very busy at the front desk and I suspect the blockage was the wait staff not getting tables ready quickly enough. However, it was stupid to take it out on the people who 've just arrived. Then our waiter was a bit dippy. Very unusual for The Ivy. One eg he let both our glasses of wine empty and it took ages to flag someone down to fill them up (I 'm quite happy to do it myself but didn 't know where our wine was). Then the bloke who filled mine up wasn 't listening when I twice said 'that 's enough thank you ' so I had a large beaker of white wine to get down before it got warm. Also one of the loo seats in the ladies loo was completely detached. I daresay they are all knackered from a busy festive season or had a lot of agency staff on. But it 's not what it was and no longer value for money."

"The staff at this restaurant are incredibly friendly and professional. They go out of their way to accommodate their guests. The brasserie staff, in particular, are outstanding. The food is fantastic and the chef was more than happy to prepare something for us that wasn't on the menu. The chambermaids are also very friendly and the rooms are clean, spacious, and the beds are like fluffy clouds. We can't wait to visit again."

"I've been to Dylans in Menai Bridge and always enjoyed it not this time. For the first half of our visit there was a stinging blue haze hanging in the air; the kitchen extractors clearly weren't functioning properly. Fortunately this cleared for the second hour we were there. Now to the service; after taking our drinks orders we waited nearly 15 minutes for them. Later, after staff had passed our empty glasses 20 times, we managed to order some second drinks by catching their attention. The food was the main problem; minuscule starters of crab and Welsh rarebit. My pizza came as a real surprise (as others have mentioned in previous reviews); gone is the thin crusted, well filled pizza of the past. The pizza is now about 20% smaller and my daughter mentioned that it looked like a child's portion. However, the main problem was the total lack of filling; there was a huge gap for at least an inch all round the pizza which was just fluffy dough. There were five tiny mussels on it and when I picked the mussel shells up they were so overcooked the shells turned to carbonised dust. I counted three tiny slices of red chilli. As others have mentioned, I realise the industry is having a hard time the price of the pizzas haven't gone up but the quantity and quality has plummeted and I would rather pay more to enjoy my meal. The pudding order came and was wrong. When the hot cross bun pudding came out it was still only on the wrong side of lukewarm. Don't get me started on the price of a pint of Aspalls £7.25, a price I would expect to pay in London. And before Lisa R replies that they would have replaced a dish, it would have been replaced with a similar disappointing dish....and no one bothered to ask us if everything was OK either during or after the meal anyway."

"A very average meal. We ordered the beef roast and chicken roast. Twice we had to ask the kitchen for forgotten ingredients on the plate. As the roast only listed 3 items in the menu description, it is disappointing they couldn't remember to put 3 items on either of the plates. Yorkshires were cold and potatoes were hard. Cooked and then not reheated enough. Chicken roast is served with beef gravy. Not good enough for £18 a plate and to then we had to pay extra 12.5% tip on top of this."

"Nice place but we visited on a cold day and and if you weren’t seated directly in front of the open fire it was chilly in the restaurant . Also some of the food needed to be hotter than served. And I totally disagree with the service charge, on our bill it was £30 thank goodness it was discretionary the service certainly didn’t live up to that high charge. That should be removed entirely and left at the customers discretion. Kind of changed the mood of the lunch which was a shame."

"Love eating here. There is a lovely relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff. I am disabled and I find a lot of restaurant seating is very uncomfortable however the seating here is comfortable which makes for a better dining experience. The food is always lovely with very interesting menu choices ; it’s hard to chose what to have sometimes ! I particularly liked the cavolo nero starter and my husband highly recommends the brioche bread and butter pudding. Always excellent every time"

"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!!!"

"Although we had booked for 10, they didn’t seem to know, staff lacked customer skills, food was good, long wait, had to try and wave at staff when we wanted to order something, just got put in a corner and seem to get ignored, no checking to make sure everything ok or if we needed anything : xx"

"I wanted to meet a friend from Essex, we were coming from Bicester, so I dropped a pin in the middle and then did a search for places to eat nearby and found The Cricketers. Had a quick scout of their website and decided it looked like a really lovely place to head for lunch and i certainly wasn’t wrong. The food was delicious, the service was spot on, nothing was rushed, nothing was too much and they were all so friendly, plus there were plenty of them. There was a lovely atmosphere and we all really enjoyed meeting up here. Thank you for being so welcoming and allowing us to just eat, chill and chat until it was time to go."

"We arrived in good time for our reservation having traveled up from London. Our table had a window view of the canal and tow path. Our waiter was friendly and was able to give us information on our choice of dishes. Our starters were quite good although the prawns were smothered in too much sauce which made for rather messy eating. Our main dishes were traditional British fare and included the Fish and Chips with mushy peas which were good and served in good time. The evening went well as the restaurant section of the pub filled up and this lead to a nice ambiance. The bill for four was quite reasonable considering we enjoyed two bottles of their New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. We would certainly go back when we are in Birmingham again."

"Me and my friend got there around 1.45am on Sunday 19th of June. Have to say I want to go there for a long time. Just grabbed the chance as my friend missed his coach back home. Said that to one of the security guys at the door, when asked for ID. Anyway, I had a picture of my passport on my mobile. Then the other security guy got involved in a quite hostile manner. He asked my friend how old he was. To 'defuse ' the atmosphere, I made a joke saying I don 't go around with under age guys. The bouncer didn 't like my joke (even if I said it was a joke) and started to behave with even more hostility. He said to get off from our mobiles (my friend had the picture of his ID on his phone as well)....don 't know where he got that liberty from....he insisted he had to scan our documents and a picture was not enough. I then said that was his problem as I was showing my ID as requested.....he went on and on saying what the argument was about. Replied I was simply making my point as on their website there was nothing about showing the ID. He then added we have to pay £2.50 each for the entry. There were 2 girls behind us (showing their ID to the other security guy) and no entry fee was asked to them. I have asked to the security guy I was dealing with if the entry fee was just for us or for everyone. I asked to talk with the manager. He turned his face and ignored me....I then asked how long we could stay in, paying the entry fee (the place is open 24/7) . He smiled and said 'how much are you ready to tip? ' Well.....think I don 't need to add anything else......I would really advice the owner/manager/whoever in charge to be more attentive in choosing their security stuff. Rude people asking for bribe shamelessly is not a good business card at the door of what supposed to be a decent business."

"“First time here and all I can say it’s that the rib eye steak lives now on my memories” that’s the words of my boyfriend. I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday for the first time because a friend of mine recommended me to go there, she said it was the best Argentinian restaurant that she had been in London and she was not lying. I ordered beef with some mushrooms sauce and potatoes ! It was delicious! . My boyfriend literally asked to the waiter “ I want a massive delicious piece of meat “ and he recommended him the Rib Eye Steak. The point of the meat was just what he wanted, salt, juiciness… he said he loved it. Thank you guys for your service!"

"Very pleasant atmosphere starter perfect but the Main was terrible. Potatoes where very chewy as if they had been sitting under a heat lamp. My meat was way too rare a choice as to how I would of liked it would of been better. In all we had 2 mains which on each plate was meat potatoes Yorkshire and greens still left which In my opinion sums up the main courses. But on a positive note both starters 7-10 Both mains 4-10 1 pudding. 10-10 We would return as we noticed you was serving a variety of different meals. Would we recommend. Not for the roast but maybe the other choices."

"I love De Amicis. I have been eating at this restaurant for over 40 years (where did time go? . It has passed transparently from father to son and is still as enjoyable and charming as ever. Food is delicious, wines are superb, service is just how I like it ... not too intrusive, but there when you need it. I no longer live in Notting Hill, but visit this lovely restaurant whenever I can."
