Restaurant Flat Three

➤ 120-122 Holland Park Avenue London, W11 4UA, United Kingdom

Steak • Japanese • Creative • Bakeries

"Unique and top notch culinary experience. The creative and spot-on combination of high quality ingredients and flavours is amazing. Greater emphasis on vegetarian and fish might not be to everybody's taste but it shouldn't stop even the more carnivorous eater to try. We tried course menu which was well worthy the price in our opinion given other similar experiences in other restaurants in London. We have read some reviews (a small minority) criticising portions (unfair) and flavours (I sense there is a slight misconception here texture was similar but flavours were completely different and inspiring ..... unless you dont have a developed palate) and we dont agree whatsoever. Please note that the menu also changes almost on a daily basis and it is always season-driven. Service was very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without being overwhelming. The only area where some adjustments might be considered for the broader customer base is the wine even though, on one side, the wine list has very high quality producers (the Spanish and Italian vineyards are top notch and not easily found in other restaurants in London), the cost of a relatively small wine by the glass is very high (it might be a function also of the alcohol tax changes and Brexit but again it took us a bit aback) and there are very few options at affordable levels. Overall, a fantastic restaurant where we will go back regularly. Bravi !"

The Crab Shack

Kebab • Cafés • Asiatic • Seafood

"Disappointing if I’m honest. We booked as a family because we really fancied some fresh seafood. When we called we specified that there were six adults, five children and a baby in a high chair. At no point during that call did anyone say that there is no children’s menu available which made for an even more expensive trip. The food was very expensive, we ended up getting the children to share three fish and chips between them and the fish inside the batter was lovely but the chips were drenched in oil. Three of us shared one of the platters and whilst it was lovely and very well presented, we all walked away hungry as there isn’t really much fish on there for you to eat. The waitress was lovely but we had to keep prompting for things we’d asked for that had been forgotten despite the restaurant being empty."

The Clove Club

➤ 380 Old St, Shoreditch EC1V 9LT, London, United Kingdom

British • European • Gastronomy • Vegetarian

"At my recent lunch at Bonhams with Kang, he mentioned about his recent meal at Clove Club and how the kitchen were doing some amazing things. He is of course a very knowledgeable and well-travelled foodie, so when he speaks you have to listen. Booking a table here is tricky, given its pre-paid ticketing system. Depending on what time you choose to dine, you may have to pay up front for your table – up to £95 pp for the prime dining hours. As I was on my annual leave, we decided to pop in for a mid-week lunch and opting for an early 12pm table, meant that we did not have to pay anything up front."

The Anchor Line

Fish • Steak • Cheese • American

"Mixed review tbh, some of the food was nice and some i could have made better at home. The mash was grainy as well as the prawn macaroni sauce. My biggest jibe tho was the green veg i had with my scallops had which felt like had grains of sand in them. The steak its self was very tasty however the crust was way too salty."

"A wonderful restaurant with amazing atmosphere and fantastic food. We loved it so much we booked our Silver Wedding Anniversary Party and we wasn't disappointed . We had the best time, and so did our guest's. Everyone commented on how amazing the food was , and Tanya and her team could not have been more attentive. I would highly recommend , It was First Class !"

The Red Lion

➤ Welford Road, Daventry, United Kingdom

Steak • Cheese • Burgers • Chicken

"The service at The Red Lion in Thornby was truly outstanding. We were quickly seated and I ordered a couple of pints of BG Sips, a fantastic pale ale, while my wife opted for a pint of coke. We went straight to our main dishes; I had a steak with chips, tomatoes, and peppercorn sauce which was enjoyable, though not particularly impressive. My wife ordered a burger meal, which she liked, and the cost was removed due to an accident. The pub also offers accommodation and has a lovely hidden garden next to the car park. Overall, we were pleased with our visit and the waitress (who we believe is American) was a standout. We visited on May 18th, 2021 and highly recommend supporting this excellent pub."

The Fisherman's Table

➤ Chapel Fields,SK6 7, United Kingdom, Stockport

Fish • Wine • Coffee • Seafood

"I have to admit that I was expecting better quality at this restaurant. The fish goujons were overcooked and the paella was dry. It was disappointing considering the price. I didn't see many vegetarian options on the menu. They do offer a children's menu, but the restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. The service was fine. Overall, we had a dinner meal."

The Bakers Arms

Pubs • Full • Steak • Lunch

"Wonderful old building with nooks and crannies. It seems beautifully maintained and is very welcoming. The staff were all friendly and professional apart from one woman who didn't seem to be having a good day and didn't seem to mind us knowing. We were there for Sunday lunch; my husband had mushrooms on toast, roast beef and hot cross bun bread and butter pudding and he enjoyed it all very much. I had melon and ham, roast guinea fowl and crepes. I enjoyed mine very much as well, particularly as they've found a way round not-wonderfully sweet melon by concocting a syrup of figs and something (I think) that almost completely made up for it. We shared a treacle tart with cream as well and this was deemed the best dish of all, just superb. The main reason for four stars instead of five is that there were fairly lengthy waits for every course except the first. I asked if they were short-staffed and was told that two tables of eight were causing the hold ups. This isn't right. We've experienced it many times and the seeming lack of care that ensues is surprising and really not ok. I still highly recommend this place and hope they can do better with timings in the future."

Signatures

➤ Aberconwy Resort and Spa, Conwy LL32 8GA, LL32 8HH, United Kingdom

Kebab • Sushi • Asiatic • British

"As you drive into the car park at Signatures, you may wonder if you’ve made the right choice for dinner. Yes, it’s a restaurant that’s at a “holiday home resort” – and that’s a posh caravan park to you and me. But, fear not, we’d been here before and know that it punches above its weight, making it one of the better restaurants along the coast. The menu is well rooted in “Modern British” food which means it occasionally makes a leap away from the comfort of Northern Europe. As in a starter of king prawns, dressed in a quite pokey satay sauce, served with a crispy noodle salad. It worked. As did a lobster bisque which had the richness of the one you get in jars at Waitrose but enhanced with small bits of lobster. It’s accompanied with a small slice of toast, topped with mayo, crab and prawns. Sirloin steak was accurately cooked as requested but could have done with a bit of seasoning. It came with classic accompaniments – nicely cooked “fat chips”, grilled cherry tomatoes and a field mushroom.. “Trio of lamb” was a good representation of the modern classic of “meat three ways”. A couple of slices of perfectly pink fillet. Some long cooked shoulder. And breast, also long cooked, then pressed, breaded and fried to crisp. That came with “Palouise” potatoes – Google doesn’t find that term but it seemed be a boiled potato topped with buttery gloop (no, I wasn’t a fan). But it’s more than made up for by Savoy cabbage, roasted carrot and a lovely rich sauce. We often pass on dessert but not this time. Two classics on the menu, Firstly sticky toffee pudding – it’s rare to see a menu these days which doesn’t have it on. And, most times, it’s not worth the calories. But, here, it’s a delicious light sponge, pretty much perfect butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream, Homemade “Arctic Roll” and jelly will whisk a generation of Britons back to their childhood. Ice cream surrounded by sponge was fine. The fruit jelly was excellent – really fruity rather than just generic “sweet”. Good coffee to finish."

Kerridge's Fish Chips At Harrods

➤ 87135 Brompton Road, SW1X 7XL, London, United Kingdom

Fish • Lunch • Drinks • Seafood

"This restaurant is basically a stand in a fancy food court, but we had a good time. The fish and chips were amazing, and we also loved trying the 'Frickle' (fried pickle) for the first time. The service was fantastic as well. However, the prices were a bit steep at £37 for haddock and chips and £55 for a mediocre bottle of Albarino (plus service). I understand it's in Knightsbridge and in Harrods, but it's just too expensive."

"After staying at the bridge in March and deciding it is my favourite hotel I was looking forward to my visit again this weekend and also a hint of trepidation as sometimes consistency isn't always there at hotels but I didn't have to worry. It's still my favourite hotel! great service, great attention to detail. The steak menu was excellent, the steak so full of flavour a great three course dinner good value. I was impressed by the barman who suggested the rhubarb gin when I went into dither mode and suggested a ginger ale with it it was a revelation! Thank you. Breakfast was it's usual glorious breakfast, lots of choice fresh and yummy served by informal friendly staff. Just love the old bridge thank you"

The Western Isles

"We booked here for the first night of our stay of a half term trip . The hotel is set high above the town and accessed by a narrow twisty road, and only have limited parking. Although it was dark, the harbour looked lovely lit up at night and I am sure that during the day the view would be stunning. We were warmly welcomed by staff and took our seat at a table in restaurant situated in a large conservatory on the side of the hotel. It was warm and bright, great music selection being played and had a lovely atmosphere . There was a wide menu choice and a selection of specials. They also offered a selection of gin cocktails featuring local gin, which are highly recommended. The meals were well cooked great tasting and looked great on the plate. We enjoyed our meal so much we re- booked again for our last night , and although it was a similar menu just different specials) but we had the opinion there was a different chef on duty. The taste wasn't so good and meals did not look so elegant on the plate. Also on several of the dishes odd things listed on the plate weren't there or had been changed. It almost seemed that they had run out of supplies or maybe that the hotel was at the end of the season and using up stock. the meal was ok but it would have been nice if staff had apologized that the ingredients weren't available and what had been replaced, especially if people had allergies. It was still a nice meal and would recommend the restaurant to anyone visiting Mull especially later in the year when eating choices are limited."

The atmosphere was also great, receiving a 5-star rating in all aspects. The price per person was in the range of £40-50 for a dinner meal."

"Have been coming to Greenwood’s for 10 years and after a mixed experience in November 2018 , my daughter and I visited yesterday for lunch and use of the spa.This was a complimentary visit ,which was very much appreciated by both of us . The restaurant and reception staff gave us a warm welcome , lunch was wonderful and we felt that we were well looked after .My daughter is 8 months pregnant, so the spa day came at a great time and enabled her to relax around the swimming pool on one of the sun beds , enjoying the peace and tranquillity.We had no trouble finding a bed this time , which was a problem before and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon.Thank you for looking after us , we will be returning for our annual visit in December for my daughter’s birthday I would like to also mention , Greenwood’s have exceeded my expectations in the way my feedback from November was taken on board and I have had personal ongoing contact with the Operations Manager arranging this visit , thank you again."

The Red Lion, Llangorse

Pubs • Full • Steak • Dining

"On a recent holiday to Llangorse, we visited the Red Lion twice once for Sunday lunch and once on a Wednesday evening. We’d been looking forward to sampling the menu at the Red Lion since its relaunch and the food was exceptional. Sunday lunch was fantastic the meats were cooked beautifully alongside the huge homemade Yorkshire puddings and spring veg. My partner also commented that the hake was the best fish he had ever had. We almost didn’t have room for pudding (almost! but I’m glad we did as the raspberry pavlova was easily one of the nicest I’ve tasted. Equally, on the Wednesday, between us we went for the bavette steak and the chicken caesar salad and again, everything was delicious. I’d like to say that because of how much we enjoyed the food, we had a great experience at the Red Lion but unfortunately, the service and attitude of some of the staff when we dined there on the Wednesday evening really let us down. We were welcomed to our table by who we think was the chef with no issues. However, as the evening progressed, the service went downhill for us. The two waitresses who served us seemed like they didn’t really want to be there. When our order for mains was taken, we weren’t told that there was no hake on the menu, we only found out from a conversation overheard by my partner at the bar. Equally, the same happened on the Sunday when we weren’t told until we came to order our starters that some items weren’t available which should have been made known to us after we were seated. After our food arrived on the Wednesday, we were not asked by the waitress if we wanted any condiments or anything else they could get for us. When my partner approached the waitress to ask if those of us having steak could have a steak knife, he was told no as the steak should have been tender enough to cut it with a regular knife? We were quite taken aback by that response and despite what the waitress said, a steak knife was still required to cut our meat but at that point, we didn’t want to ask again so got on with our meals. We weren’t asked if everything was ok with our meal until our plates were cleared again, we expected someone to ask this earlier to check everything was ok. We waited a considerable time to be asked if we wanted dessert. We were also confused as we were told at the start of both meals that drinks could only be ordered at the bar, however, when our plates from our mains were being collected, we were told we could order them at the table which was inconsistent to what we’d previously been told. When we told the waitress we did want a dessert, menus were brought out but the waitress didn’t return. A second waitress then appeared and abruptly and rudely asked how many of us were having desserts so she could place the cutlery. There wouldn’t have been any issue at all with this being asked other than the way the waitress spoke or rather shouted at us. The whole party were surprised at her tone of voice to the point where we were almost lost for words. When the same waitress realised we hadn’t actually ordered dessert as the other waitress hadn’t come back to take our order, the waitress did apologise, but then went and sat on the window sill cross legged and asked for our order which we found to be a bit strange and unprofessional. We were also short of one set of dessert cutlery which was then pulled out of the top of the waitress’ dungarees. At that stage, we considered cancelling dessert and paying the bill, however, we persevered and the desserts (biscoff cheesecake and the raspberry pavlova were once again divine. We hope that the issues we have encountered are just teething problems due to it being a new establishment as the service we have received at other local pubs in the area has been second to none whereas in all honesty, we were not made to feel welcome on either occasion we visited the Red Lion. For the price of food and drink here, we would expect more from the level of service and hope this has been rectified at our next visit in 2024."

French • Seafood • Asiatic • Fast Food

"One of the best meals I've had in recent memory. The moules marinerre had me scraping the bowl for the last of the broth/sauce, both it and the bisque were so warming and comforting with the bread making a perfectly buttery accompaniment for dipping/mopping. Ideal for a cold winters evening. The skate in lobster butter for main was unbelievable, the skate was as moist and delicate as the sauce was decadent (not to mention it being a very generous portion). Even the desserts were delicious, in particular the sorbet which was lovely and refreshing after such a hearty starter and main. These are the meals you dream of when going to a seaside town. Everything was cooked to perfection, lovely staff and ambience. I can't praise this place enough."
