"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."

"Le Caprice is tucked away in Arlington Street in a surprisingly quiet spot behind the Ritz. If it sounds glam, it’s because it is. In a restaurant like that, the little details in service are what really set a place apart. We walked in with a booking and the maître d’ managed very discreetly and without me realising, to confirm a special little something that the s.o. had requested. Now that, is class. From our seats at the bar (we love the counter if you recall from my Bocca Di Lupo post I could see the maître greeting the regulars like a pro (handshake for the men, sometimes a hug for the ladies or a peck on the cheek). Even before we had a single bite to eat, we knew this...read more"

"I requested a spot at the counter bar since I was alone and heading to the theatre . No sooner was I seated than the bar man abruptly asked me what I wanted to drink no “welcome, how are you tonight” . He seemed a bit miffed when I asked to see the cocktail list, as though I should know instantly what I wanted. And, although a prix-fixe, pre-theatre menu is advertised online, only the regular a la carte menu was handed to me. So I had to ask for that, as well! As it turned out, I ordered an expensive a la carte main dish, since it appealed to me. During my meal, no one ever topped up my sparkling water the bottle stood in plain sight and the barman/waiter watched me refill my glass. And, when I’d finished my cocktail, no one asked if I’d like a glass of wine although I sat there looking at the page of wines by the glass . By then, although I did want wine, I was too fed up with the rudeness to order one. It was only after I asked for my bill that a waiter asked if I’d like dessert or coffee! Obviously, I didn’t. But I just smiled politely and said I had to go. No one thanked me for coming or wished me a pleasant evening. Yes, the place is packed being right by the Ritz Hotel is very beneficial . And the ambiance is suave and clubby. But the waitstaff is basically disaffected although they do act unctuously polite to regulars . I’ve actually been coming to Le Caprice for many years, but usually sit with friends at a table. Hmm— what a difference!"

"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!"

"Food was okay. Maybe slightly pricey if I were paying full price but ok. What was really bad and left a bad taste was how badly we were treated. We live literally steps from this place and have known it since it started and the one before it. We asked and got confirmation of govt scheme before sitting down to eat and before ordering. In the end full bill was given and we had to argue and convince before they reduced price on meal. They still did not do on soft drink. They were so unhappy to give us a discount which they had a huge poster of in front. It left such a bad taste 2 hours later I ate frozen (after cooking) Sainsbury pizza just to get over that feeling. Will be very hard to go in again. Hopefully it closes and someone else comes"

"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."

"Waited a while to come here and they didn't disappoint. Really nice location overlooking the water , we were on the 2nd floor and had a lovely view . I had calamari starter and sea food linguine and they were both amazing my partner had a crab starter a bit like a fish cake which was very nice and then a chicken thigh burger which was nice but had the stingiest bit of chicken on it . Highly recommended , definitely need to pre book as it gets very busy"

"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"

"dylans surpassed my expectations this time. the staff was beautiful and gave us a great seat with a view in the new bar-school style area. we had an amazing pizza and were able to change toppings that was a bonus. fish tacos were a new thing to try bland but ok. excellent selection of puddings and specials! overall fast service, great food and we will definitely be back for another meal!"

"The food here is incredible, and the ambiance is fantastic. I highly recommend it for dinner. They offer excellent vegetarian choices, and the pizza is definitely the standout dish. For vegetarians, there’s a wide range of options, and the staff is very accommodating; they were happy to prepare a special vegetarian version of a vegan dish for me. The average price per person is between £20 and £30. Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere as five stars each. I particularly recommend the Pizza Margherita."

"I thought the service was first class and you were made to feel comfortable from the moment you sat down. The food was delicious and perfectly presented. Value is good considering the ambiance and restaurant. I would recommend it and I will definitely be going again. Also just a heads up if you decide to go on a Friday make sure it’s with a group of friends or like a bit of loud music. Singer was great but not if you want a quiet one."

"I booked a table for persons for dinner we arrived minutes early but this was not a problem and got seated straight away, the waiting staff were very friendly, but from the moment we ordered (starter main) it went drastically downhill from there, starters arrived in good time but we were not even halfway through our starters when the (I assume was the manager as he was dressed differently to the others) brought our mains over!, I promptly stated as you can clearly see we havent even got half way through our starters yet' and asked him to take them away, which he did, starters and the shakes were the only thing nice about the food, our mains then turned up shortly after we finished our starters, but the meat (chicken) were absolutely poor tasted like they were part cooked yesterday and finished off when needed, my daughter and I left most of our main, the restaurant started to fill and it started to become clear that lots of customers were either waiting to order receive their order or waiting to have their finished palates taken away, we waited approx to have ours taken away!, I asked at one point do we have to take these to the kitchen ourselves , it was almost out of control with only waiting staff covering the whole restaurant which by this time was full and a other or so customers at the door waiting to come in, staff was never going to contain this, more and more customers were getting out of their seats and going up to the waiting staff regarding orders or wanting to order, with that amount of staff the manager should have closed off part section of the tables before opening so it was manageable, I went up to one of the staff member and told him that I have asked several times to have our plates cleared which has been approximately minutes now and order dessert, again met with the same apology other customers had been told, in the end after waiting minutes we had had enough, got the bill and left, never again!!"

"This charming rural pub doesn't have a separate gluten-free menu, but there are several options available on the regular menu, including desserts. The bread was good and the burger was delicious. The steak also looked impressive. I didn't experience any negative effects, so I assume they are careful about cross contamination."

"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."

"I would recommend this restaurant based on my previous experience with their delicious food, although I am hoping that my recent visit was just a one-time issue. We waited a long time for our drinks, and even when we asked for a pot of tea to be served with a meal, it only arrived after we had finished eating. There were only two staff members taking orders and serving, so it was difficult to find someone when needed. However, I was thankful that they allowed us to order a smaller portion of fish and chips for my father-in-law, who has a smaller appetite. It would be worth considering offering smaller portions upon request. Unfortunately, the chips that came with the fish were all 'ends', which was disappointing. I am hopeful that this level of service was not the norm and that improvements will be made going forward."
