"my man and I saw the afternoon tea in savoy on google and when we arrived, we found that we wore casual clothes so that we didn't feel comfortable going in. we found the melba in the small load of the savoyen, which makes us very happy that we can taste some of their deserts. we had the celestial and creambule, both are perfect sweet, refreshing, and it was delicious. we took a star down because the first staff when we first came was not very friendly and treated us as invisible. but the second employees at least try to ask what we are looking for."

"a few years ago, it was good. this time it was horrific. wives ' starter and main course were shocking. when both meals were replaced without cake, they were just as bad. no comments from the personal. only replaced. admittedly they took off the cost of both courses, but not a SINGEL word of apologoy. I went to the toilet and came back to see the changed bill that was just left on the table. I've taken it, and the guy just said I'm sorry. unfortunately I can't recommend it at all."

"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."

"This was my second visit to Cafe Royal. The first time was about six months ago when my husband and I received a gift voucher for afternoon tea. We had the Jubilee afternoon tea and it was fantastic. We were very impressed with everything. This time, I went with three friends to celebrate their pregnancy. We had the regular afternoon tea. I was not as impressed this time. The staff was friendly and attentive, but there were some things I didn't like. Due to the pregnancy, we could only eat two out of the four sandwiches offered. The service was inconsistent, we had to ask for water and had trouble paying at the end of the meal. Despite the lack of busyness, we did not receive all the baked goods promised. However, the scones were delicious. It cost £80.50 per person without champagne, including service charge. It felt overpriced for what we received. The restaurant has a nice dining room, but the service and food were not up to standard, so I will not be returning."

"Everything about our experience was 5 stars! We arrived slightly earlier and were given a larger table which was better for chatting around, other than good food this was the reason for 4 of us to to out for dinner! The burgers were outstanding! The pie of the day, chicken and spicy chorizo, was laden as you cut into it. The pork belly with black pudding polenta and lobster bisque was treeee....mendous! ...and the rosemary and garlic fries were something else..... Mouth watering just writing this! The deserts were more than ample and a taste explosion. The waiter, 'Will ' was brilliant. He was so attentive without being overbearing as some places can be. He knew the food to explain exactly with you 'd receive and was spot on discussing the deserts. We watched him with other guest, he worked the floor with natural charm as ease. He needs to commended for the way he represented The Three Horse Shoes. The pub only takes card payments, so if you want to tip, take cash. There is a 10% service charge added to your bill so that may suffice for some of you. Can 't wait to return."

"one of my favorite places in east village and one of my favorite places for fish chips in Great Britain. tonight we tried a new starter of scallops, chorizo and sweet potato in a skill that was crazy. I always have to get the most praised bisque and the mint, pea and feta fritters. not much of them expected, but they are surprisingly fresh and great to share with friends. (two to three of us usually go and get a few starters and share a sequence of cod, chips and mushy peas. always a lot! the curry sauce is also a must, as everyone who told you. they also have some baked/grilled healthier options that look divine, but it is so hard not to go for traditional fish chips when they are there and get them this good oil smoke that only a good fish chip store can bring. this is also a great place to take Pop-Buy for a job; it is a smaller menu to take out, but all the bases are covered. long (sometimes tells story short, I eat more than I should and am (obvily enthusiastic that we have them in the east village!"

"The service at the restaurant was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant. However, that's where the positives end. I paid £48 for three small, bland lamb cutlets. The foie gras tasted like a block of spam. The only saving grace was the delicious lobster bisque."

"Had the chefs table experience, and it was incredible. The food was sublime and the attention to detail was second to none. Everything tasted and looked amazing, including the cocktails. Would recommend the passion fruit martini if you have a sweet tooth! Couldn't fault the experience at all, a great birthday present or anniversary gift if you're looking to do something more special Food: 5"

"We ordered the sharing roast for 5 people, £28pp which we at first thought was a little bit steep, but when the food comes out and you see how much you get, and the flavours … it is so worth it. Other roast options are also available and would be equally as delicious. The food is to die for, so much that we are taking home 3 tubs of leftovers! The meat is melt in your mouth, you get pork belly, beef done medium and chicken with crispy skin. Yorkshire puddings which are clearly made fresh as well as fluffy roast potatoes. Tons of veg, roasted and chantenay carrots, kale, parsnips, cabbage, and lots of it too. My personal favourite was the cauliflower cheese, absolutely ****** amazing…. You rarely get enough gravy when you go out for a roast, but this came with two full additional boats of hot gravy, which was clearly reduced down for hours! Best roast I have ever had, 1000% coming back!!"

"The single handily worst meal and eating experience I’ve ever had in my 42 years on this earth , on New Years Eve nonetheless. The issues are too countless to even write but literally from start not knowing they even had alcohol and not knowing the word vodka to the food , severe goes to the hospital allergy that we mentioned over 7 times and still came out with the allergens, to the incredibly non interested management this week place was an absolute joke. If the steak was world class I’d try to give more credit but it was on the lower third of all steaks I’ve had in my life and I had the best surf and turf option on menu. Absolute horrible experience in ever possible way."

"Always a beautiful venue. We were greeted at the door. Had drinks and chatted on the sofas. We had a lovely round table which is perfect for conversation. The food was lovely. The staff put a candle on my mums dessert for her birthday which made it special. Our only complaint was that it was cold!! One of our guests actually stood up and stood by the radiator between courses. I appreciate that the restaurant had been closed for two days and it takes a while for the building to warm up ... but it spoilt what was otherwise a lovely meal !"

"We have always loved coming here and it was always excellent however on Friday it was most disappointing. My husband ordered a whole Turbot which looked fabulous although arrived suspiciously quickly. He always de bones fish himself as he knows how to do so professionally and it became quickly obvious that the fish was not cooked through. It was sent back twice but still was not properly done. Our waiter was delightful and extremely helpful and professional however his manager was definitely not. He considered it wise to condescend to my husband that he would take the bone off for him and that was when things went downhill. Rude. Sad end to what had started as a lovely evening."

"5 of my family came here for my Nieces hen night. Just wanted a quiet place as she and my sister had come up from the south to visit family before her wedding. I have been here many times and always had excellent food and service. This waiter/manager hung around us quite a while. Kept wanting to but in to our conversation. Telling us stories. He was very rude to his other 2 staff who were only young and lovely. The young girl missed a water from our order. He clapped his hands to her and showed her up loudly about missing the water. He still kept lingering round our table when we were trying to talk. As my niece had a bride 's veil on he turned around to her and said So your pregnant before getting married. This was not called for. Nobody should ever say that. My niece was so conscious of her body. She had lost 3 and half stone before this night for her wedding and was in a size 10 dress. This place will be so much better without this waiter/ manager. He had black hair and tall and was italian. Disgusting manner."

"My family and I dined at the Union restaurant in December 2023 for the first time, marking our fourth visit overall after dining there three times previously on our own. While most of the food we have had at the restaurant has been excellent, there was one instance where my main course wasn't as good as it had been on other occasions. During this visit, my starter was good and my dessert was outstanding, but unfortunately, my main course was disappointing and overpriced. I'm not a fan of fish or seafood, and I don't always crave red meat, so I opted for the vegetarian option among the choices of lemon sole, steak, Somerset goat chops, and a vegetarian dish. My husband enjoyed the lemon sole he ordered, but my vegetarian meal was bland and unappetizing. I had to add salt to try to improve the taste, but it was mostly butterbeans and lacked flavor. For the price of £21, I expected a more satisfactory meal. I found it extremely disappointing and not worth the cost. While dining in Rye can be expensive, the quality of the food usually justifies the price. However, I would advise avoiding or being cautious when selecting this particular main course at the Union."

"I had a wonderful time sitting in the sun. I ordered the king prawn spaghetti, but my wife added her burrata from her salad to my dish, which was a delightful touch. I also want to give a huge shout-out to Alexandria, our waitress. When the manager unexpectedly walked out, Alexandria continued to handle everything with remarkable professionalism on her own. She truly deserves a raise or at least a bonus—listen up, management!"

"If you are a gin lover and like smoked meats you need come here! Having prebooked a table we were taken up stairs and provided a menu. Luckily we were sat right under the specials board from that I instantly chose the fried haggis and then a ox cheek dish to follow. I also decided to sample a fire side cocktail which packed a punch of tequila. The fried haggis was sublime with it poached egg and was the perfect amount for a starter. Cream spinach was ordered to accompany my ox cheeks which turned out to be so tender! However it was so rich with the red wine sauce and mash that i struggled to finish. To complete the meal I opened the gin menu which was extensive. My friend had one that changed colour where I got a sake based one. Each one was carefully presented with delicate fruits .. Overall a very lovely place and a must to attend to in St Ives"
