"Visited for brunch for my Mums birthday this weekend. The food and wine was lovely, Caesar salad was outstanding. The views and decor in the hotel and restaurant are fantastic. What really made the trip was the service we received, all staff were so polite and even brought out a slice of cake for my Mum which we appreciated so much. Downstairs Derek, on the reception took lots of photos of us and gave us great information about London and how to get about. Will definitely be back the next time we visit!! Thank you so much for a memorable lunch for my Mums big birthday!"

"Today is a very special day for me. I can officially say, I’ve had the best pizza in my life. All of the ingredients, down to the salt are imported from Italy. Chef Roberto perfected every part of the pizza. The dough was airy, perfectly crisp on a wood fire, the tomato’s were aromatic (with perfectly balanced acidity/sweeness), the basil was unlike anything I’ve tried before, and the flavors harmoniously coddled my soul. It was truly an emotional experience. He took Monica and I down a journey of his lineage to Naples, Italy. Bravisimo. If you are in London, go to Notting Hill and have the best Margarita pizza you’ll ever have"

"Dinner had to be sent back twice. Once it was cold, like veg not even warm. took over 20mins for replacement to come. Manger didn't say anything just ignored us. Second time, they'd overcooked it, totally inedible. By then it was nearly 10pm! Not once did the manager approach with apologies left it to the poor waitress. Very unprofessional and I'd definitely discipline that manger. It was just awful and I must say I was surprised."

"We had a fantastic Valentine's evening at this restaurant. It was busy and lively, and the pizza was absolutely delicious with a perfectly crispy crust. The traditional and intimate setting added to the overall charm, even though the tables were a bit small. However, this didn't detract from the cozy and homely feel of the place, with candles on each table creating a warm atmosphere. The service was attentive and the staff were sweet. Overall, we loved our experience here!"

"We had a lunch to celebrate being able to get out together for a Christmas treat. The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and provided excellent service. One of our group members was feeling unwell, but the staff on duty were incredibly kind and helpful. The food was well-presented and suited our budget perfectly, with a good selection on the fixed menu. Due to Covid restrictions, the restaurant was quite quiet and lacked atmosphere through no fault of the staff. We will definitely visit again."

"One member of our group ordered a Porn Star Martini, but it arrived half empty, and the shot of Prosecco was barely there. We complained to the manager, who reassured us, saying, "Don't worry, we will get you a new one, and you can keep the first as an apology." However, the new martini didn't show up until we were nearly finished with our main courses. To make matters worse, the main dishes were lukewarm, and many parts of our orders were forgotten—like the toppings for the fajitas, the dips for our starters, and more. By the end of the evening, I was just glad to leave. When we requested the bill, I discovered that we were charged twice for the Porn Star Martini and for other items that never arrived. We pointed this out to the waitress, which led to more waiting as we waited to speak with the manager. While the manager was attentive and did remove the extra charge, the overall experience was still quite disappointing. I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon."

"Booked a table for Sunday lunch with my husband. Food was very good, waiting staff were polite and attentive. Waiting time was just about right between courses. Would definately recommend and definately be going back. Also good value for money, especially as had 25% off coupon, so 3 courses for 2, plus drinks came to just over £40."

"we had a bad service from beginning to end. the first server did not know the beverage menu, but helped us to solve. the drinks came slowly. we've been waiting for a long time for the food order. starter came fast, but it was about an hour for our main thing,...come including a mistake that did not write, the order made clear. server changed, a long wait for dessert menu, no table service for extra drinks, and another long wait time to arrive at desserts. 4 not available desserts (of 11). it was 2 hours 40 for us overall, and that was also that we take our desserts out. also a mistake in the bill that we have for desserts that were included on the fixed menu. I love a relaxed meal, not getting me wrong, but we only sat where we were fled to get attention. they were polite enough and full of good intentions, but there was simply not enough of them and they did not know that their trade. the food was good!"

"There aren't plenty of suitable options for vegans so hopefully you’re not too hungry as quantities are quite small. We ordered a few tapas (bang bang cauliflower, vegan red dragon roll, chunky chips) and some cocktails. It's a nice place for a date for example or if you're more thirsty than hungry, although it won't be cheap. Food was okay but not amazing, it's not the type of place I would go regularly if I have other options nearby."

"This review is based on my experience on the day, and could be different for you, but I doubt it. I kept being told about a Burrito bar in Southampton and that I should try it. Well I attended today, with the friends who told me about this place, and have to say I had, up to this point never had a Burrito in my life. Seen many programs showing them but never had I ever tried one. Followed what my friend did, and I got my burrito the way I wanted it to be. You walk in, you’re asked if you want a small or large (unsure if medium is available burrito. Then your problems start, but in a nice way. So many main options it can be mind boggling until you get your head around it. The staff were fantastic after I chosen my main meat/rice of tomato rice and shredded beef. I then moved on to the extras, sauces, chose a mild sauce many salad options and it was then prepared for eating (folded then wrapped in silver foil then payment. And I was ready to eat at the tables in the front part of the shop. Warning that prices vary dependent on the size and the meat you have as your filling. Mine with shredded beef with the rice and toppings I chose totaled £9.95. No complaints from me as the food was hot, tasty, held together by the silver foil, filling and worth every penny in my opinion. Pricing is no different to any local take away I suppose but the bigger the meat (to many to list hear, but from pulled meat to chunks of steaks you have the more expensive it is but it is filling and good value. If you are not a meat eater you could ask for a vegetarian burrito, made of rice and the vast vegetable additions. Cannot see that being an issue. You can do take away, eat in or delivery. They do other dishes which I did not even get to look at but I would say all pallets are catered for. You could always call in advance or check their website, Mexigo Southampton. I think there are other Mexigo branches around the local area as far as Maidstone if you google Mexigo. Don’t shoot the messenger as this was the first time I had visited this shop/chain and I was unsure as you are reading my review, but I was satisfied with what I chose, and think if you plan your selections well either there or via the website you will not be disappointed."

"We had wanted to try Crepes Cones but it was closed. Insteat, we saw the eye-catching colors of Afters and decided to give it a try, thinking it would be similar to other dessert places we enjoy. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. I ordered the Ferrero Rocher waffle and received a stale waffle with chocolate sauce and mixed nuts that seemed like they were leftovers from a bargain bag at the grocery store. The Ferrero Rocher was nowhere to be found. My husband's Very Berry ice cream was overly sweet with a red sauce that was too much for our teeth, although the fresh berries were a highlight. We left £17 poorer and very unsatisfied, with the staff simply telling us that's what we ordered. Save your money and stick to a Solero or Calippo instead."

"I had a wonderful evening at Carluccio's—my first time dining there. I initially booked a table for 12 three days before my 50th birthday, but after being surprised with a party, I adjusted it down to 6 and then 3. Despite the changes, the meal was delightful; I ordered the chicken with white wine sauce and requested a small amount just in case I didn’t like it, but it turned out to be delicious. There were no complaints about my last-minute changes to the reservation; the staff, especially the manager, were incredibly nice and friendly. I will definitely return soon and highly recommend this restaurant!"

"I am exploring the North Passport and Byfords didn't disappoint. Very nice shop and place to eat with great menu selection. Not many places do Kippers and I was craving for one for a long time, so I went for it. Very good portion and very well cooked. Just a shame I couldn't swap my toast for sourdough even if I had to pay extra. The building inside is beautiful. Make sure to read the information boards or y will enter the building from thee wrong door. Parking can be a challenge if its busy and you don't know the area. I know at least two near by (something like less than £5 for 3h) but just need to drive carefully There is a few outside tables near the main road. If you subscribe for free on Norfolk Passport there is food drinks discount."

"they enter the pub and so we stood at the bar and waited to be recognized. employees get drinks for customers at the bar and not even a simple “Hello” or reinsurance that they knew we were waiting. after almost minutes I asked. the barmann when we waited at the right place for the restaurant. he suddenly said, “Have you booked?” I confirmed that I and the time. we went to us and then went away. Paper menus on the table, no drinks menu at all. menus were left on the table, maybe this is a Kovid measure and they intend to throw away the paper menu, seemed just strange and no explanation given. kellnerin appeared a short time later asked what we wanted to order. I've seen it in a hurry to ask to shoot. drinks arrived, a drink was wrong, no big thing, it changed without problems. we all had the chicken roast and the meat was really delicious, no problems there. the veg consisted of less than one tablespoon of cauliflower, a single carrot strip and two small discs of papageiens. very small bratkartoffels and were tante bessies ofen ready to sort or similar certainly not a cooking quality or homemade frying. the gravure was well flavored and delicious. after the meal was laid on the table, the waitress disappeared permanently. the water that had been demanded for the table did not arrive. the waitress was not near enough to ask at any point. halfway through the meal, from us our drinks had ended and looked around again and again to order another, but no incident. No one came and asked how the meal was or whether we needed anything. who I think was the manager or owner was very attentive for two ladies sitting a few tables away and seemed to impress them. they did not seem to be aware of any other guests in the opposite and had their flashers fixed. the table next to us was a group of people, the limited space made it very loud (not really someone to blame), but it was difficult for us to talk to each other on the table when we were in the competition to hear. we finished our meals and sat for about minutes waiting for the staff to notice. the waitress catches the place of my boring expression over the room and came by and asked if we were done. at this point more drinks were offered, which we rejected. we had also removed the idea of dessert and so ordered only a child with us. ordered a cappuccino, that came and the barman asked who ordered it. when the person laid his hand, the barman leaned over the table, whereby a second person had to move her chair back, on the one hand, because it was so rude to lean so tightly and on the other hand over someone because there was the danger of having a hot drink over the head. to move the table to the person that is served, seems not to have been taught to the staff. two packs of white sugar were sat casually on the table. the drink was lukewarm and badly made. brown sugar was demanded when the dessert of the child arrived and that was given. the dessert was brought to the child (alter with the instruction “not touching the plate it is really hot” I moved the plate for him and it was tasty hot after having been whipped around in the microwave to warm the brownie I suspect. fortunately, he is a child who is not impulsive and has no special needs and therefore would not attack a plate, but much more thoughts should be given to safety, in particular safety of children. change the plate would have taken seconds before serving a child. the waitress then disappeared again and we looked at how he had to stand up and go on looking for waiting staff. we were finally asked if we wanted something else and politely said that the bill would be enough. a service fee has been added to the bill. after the discussion, we decided (for the first time in my case) to draw the complaint from the bill. I said the waitress that politely and said that unfortunately this evening did not go well. her answer was: “OK, thank you” took the payment and went away. there was no attempt to apologize or ask what made us feel like that. then we put on our hands and made us to the door. ignored by the waitress who either do not check whether we go or not interested. the manager/owner was right at the exit and did not try to say goodbye or even thank her for her need. really is a scandal and in the right hands could visit and enjoy a wonderful place."

"I visited this restaurant with some friends on New Year's Eve. We had made a reservation and were seated promptly, despite the busy atmosphere. However, we waited over 20 minutes for someone to take our order. I had to approach a waitress to finally be attended to. We placed our food and drink orders all at once, but waited an additional 30 minutes for our drinks. After seeing another table who arrived after us receive their drinks before us, a friend complained and our drinks arrived shortly after. By this point, we had waited over 50 minutes just for a drink since being seated. The food arrived around 20 minutes later and was delicious, so no complaints there. I understand that the staff were overwhelmed that night, but it was still poor customer service. It seemed like they were more concerned with seating as many people as possible rather than attending to those already in the restaurant. In conclusion, I do not recommend visiting this restaurant on a busy night as the service may be disappointing."

"Pre-marathon carb-loading meal so I needed it to be early (6.30 table) and not messed around by an incompetent waiter who lied about the reason for a 40+mins delay to serving our main courses. Food was functional at best. Disappointing evening, not worth the money. At least the poor service saved us the expense of dessert, more drinks and a tip. Freezing cold in there too. Much better when it was Auberge, not this soulless dump."
