"Why on earth are there so much tartan? that is because it is a shattic-hearted restaurant. I didn't know that Scottish food could be used as thema – I mean, there are heggis, and that's good, that's right. It doesn't seem like, apart from all tartan, initial impressions are not good. they have lost our reservation and do not believe me when I say that I have one – necessary to withdraw the email confirmation. not consecrated, they still say that they are fully booked and begin to show us elsewhere, but this is the deepest darkest Victoria/Westminster, a lot of restaurants there is not and I am certainly not hunting on the streets. the young are kicking with a mini-haggis for starters, complete with maische and neeps, which even has the possibility of a noggin whisky as a chaser that it seems is an absolute no-brain of an option. I choose for the potty smoked makrele with meerrettich and toast. that is not almost as sharp and fiery as I want, it is tasty, but much too mellow to be fair to the strong taste of makrele and meerrettich in a couple. we have all ordered exactly the same for a head, saddle back pork with curly and black pudding hash. the meat is delicate to taste, but much too hard to cut through what makes it a bit too hard to get through. the hash ball are a little salty for my taste personally, but the personal keeps us plentiful with water, which they realize that we are like those in dessert. in the time that we run over half the distance through our net, the lively jazz band enters and while we cannot see them from our position in the appendix, they are an atmospheric supplement to the place. To enjoy the music, we decide to finish a cheeseboard and the youngs mull over the other possibility to finish the meal; havana zigarren. we have a huge proportion of different types of cheese, so we can all share on a cheese cracker and nibble, the beat of whiskys in the air and the jazz band music that filters us are a great way to finish at night. as far as the package is concerned, I remain undefeated. our waitress was beautiful, attentive sweet, but the front of the house staff was a bit extra spicy, that was delicious, but needed the little extra something to push it in divine."

"We were celebrating my birthday. This was a return visit to the restaurant as we loved the lobster wellington we had the previous time. We ordered it again and still thought it was great. Although expensive it does come with various side dishes. The menu overall is excellent as there is lots of seafood on it which we love. We had a lovely cote du Rhine white wine with it. As the main is so filling though we shared an interesting chocolate dessert which was plenty for us. The staff were attentive and friendly answering our questions. Service was very good. After our meal, we also had a tour of the new basement levels with the pool and spa. We had watched the recent documentary on tv. and we were fascinated by this massive engineering task. We love our luxury London hotels but especially Claridge’s. It’s so beautiful."

"Very disappointed with this restaurant. I booked as we were in the area and the menu looked good. We skipped starters and went straight to mains, I ordered the Haddock in mustard sauce my husband opted for the Malaysian fish curry. When my dish arrived, the ill advised tower of onion rings on my fish had collapsed and they were hanging off the edge of the plate almost taking my poached egg with them. Why the chef had tried to defy gravity I don't know but I wish he'd put that effort into flavour and colour. The plate was beige and tasted the same. There was a lack of flavour in the mustard sauce and the mash. The onion rings were weird, the batter was chewy. My husband declared his Malaysian curry to be bland. We decided to have pudding, they were much better but not good enough to warrant the price. At the end of the meal it took 45 minutes to get the bill and pay. The staff were clearing plates from empty tables and seemed to have forgotten they had customers. The ambiance in the restaurant was strange when we arrived it was quiet despite plenty of customers and we felt we had to whisper, later with live music we couldn't hear each other. The decor was odd, an attempted blend of old fashioned dining with quirky additions didn't really work. My overall impression is that this restaurant is stuck in the 1980s. I don't mind paying more for exciting dishes, but all the excitement was on the menu. This meal would have been poor value at half the price."

"My partner and I went to this restaurant for our anniversary meal and had a reservation on a Saturday at 12:30. The first 45 minutes were quiet as we had the place to ourselves, which we enjoyed as it can get pretty loud when it's busy. The service was fast and friendly, and one of the waiters even brought us a complimentary Mac and cheese, which was a nice gesture. As a special treat for our anniversary, we were given a free glass of Prosecco each, which was a thoughtful touch. The food was fantastic - the oysters we ordered were large and fresh, served with a delicious salad and vinaigrette. The calamari we had as a starter was also lovely. We opted for the lobster combo, and the lobster rolls were delicious with a generous amount of fish filling. Although we couldn't finish all the food, we felt it was worth the price for the quality and portion size."

"The waiter was very rude and seemed uninterested in serving us. Every time we asked for another drink, it seemed to bother him. He even blew on our water glasses before filling them up. Despite the poor service, the starters of oysters and grilled lobster were superb. However, the main dish was disappointing and bland. Overall, the experience was lacking in flavor and quality."

"Text: Disappointed with this restaurant which I’ve used over 8 times in 18 months. I drove from Crawley and booked ahead of time for my 66th birthday lunch a table for 4 at 1.30pm with my wife and two teenage kids aged 16&18. The price is reasonable when the quality is good the bill came to £185.00 including £20 service charge automatically added to the bill. Overview: The service was okay as usual quick but not friendly we were served by 5 different people. However what was horrible and shocking was that the food quality has dropped significantly since my last visit in September 2023. The scallops were very good as usual but the haddock and chips was very disappointing indeed…(more later) Oysters were pathetic the flesh was tiny and not tasty at all. Calamari was soft and the batter was soggy and ‘flat’. The fish and chips … haddock was dry and flakey and chewy clearly frozen fish. The batter was completely different to my last meal at Regency this time it was soggy and flat no crisp whatsoever. The chips were cold and miserable. The apple pie was disgusting really disgusting tasteless and bland and the pie crust was soft and soggy the runny cream was a bit sour and suspect my wife asked me to taste it and I poured some into my double espresso and it curdled. The tiramisu and profiteroles were ok. I just recently voted this restaurant for best in Brighton but I think that was a mistake. It’s a shame the food quality was so poor especially for simple things that should be excellent and are not technically acceptable! Poor show."

"This Italian restaurant offers delicious Italian cuisine. The only downside was that the surf and turf lobster portion was small for the price. The service was excellent with a rating of 5 out of 5. I dined in for dinner and the price per person was between £60-70. The food was rated a 4 out of 5 and the atmosphere was also rated a 4 out of 5. I would recommend trying the steak and lasagne dishes."

"If you are having a serious dinner out and want your white table cloth experience then sadly, you just have to avoid this place. We had a lovely young waiter but he had no idea what was going on: I had to open the wine for him, he had no idea about anything on the menu, had to count the table numbers to work out where we were sat etc. The food is not very good, the starters and mains all seemed to be the same couple of ingredients rehashed into a meal. The wine comes warm dessert was still frozen (it was an ice cream style cake so not necessarily disastrous but clearly not what you’d expect in a restaurant). However…. To be fair it’s an evening you won’t forget. My girlfriend and I were laughing the whole time. The whole thing is very comical and the staff are actually friendly and good fun. The waiter I mentioned earlier couldn’t have been nicer and let me charge my phone, was doing his best etc. The boss is a nice character with a good sense of humour if a little direct at points. There was a horn going off for peoples birthdays which further added to the atmosphere (but was a bit much after a while). Would I go again? I probably wouldn’t plan to. However, in the right context, with the right crowd you could actually find yourself having a really memorable evening with lots of laughter."

"Food was beautiful however I did have the rack of lamb but I politely asked the waitress if I could send it back as it was too tough. This was not a problem at all she was great and reassured me she would sort this out. I never usually complain but I couldn’t chew the lamb at all. I had a fresh plate of food which was amazing and I would definitely recommend and order again. The staff were wonderful at making me feel at ease about sending my food back. They were very professional and very apologetic throughout our time here. My partner loved his food to he had the pork belly. We will definitely return. Absolutely fantastic food!"

"the teig has unfortunately gone from excellent to only average. at previous visits we were really impressed by eating, but the dinges seem to have changed. the menu has gone from the Gastro-Pub to only pub favorites. what is good when it is just eating well done, but the dishes weren't even great. bbq chicken wings had no real taste. goat cheese left a butter after taste and the beet root was overwhelming vinegary. the pork wellington should come with a fondant potato, but the carrots were comminuted new carrots. no explanation, but the waitress offered us drinks in the house. she was very apologetic and very friendly, but we were disappointed to see that the dings are slipped in the kitchen."

"What a lovely country pub. The interior was such a surprise restaurant was decorated like a Tudor banqueting hall very grand. The staff were very friendly and helpful and attentive enough for us to feel well looked after. The food was freshly cooked, with good quality ingredients, served hot and tasted delicious. Overall, an excellent experience which everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you to all involved :"

"We ordered our main courses and requested a side of steamed seasonal vegetables. Unfortunately, just like our previous visit, we were informed that the steamed vegetables were not available. We weren't keen on any of the other side dishes, so we asked if the chef could prepare a vegetable option that accommodated my wife's food intolerance. I mentioned that I could change my main course order if the appropriate vegetables weren't available. However, our server didn't return to inform us about what the chef could prepare, and soon after, our food arrived. It was a delicious meal featuring pasta, mushrooms, and some additional ingredients. We were also pleasantly surprised with a generous portion of potatoes, which we were told would not be charged. The main dish was abundant and very tasty. I also had dessert, a cheesecake that was excellent and served in a large portion. During the billing, I insisted on paying for the dessert. Both the server and the chef went out of their way to accommodate our requests, and they did a fantastic job. We genuinely appreciate their efforts, although we still would have preferred the steamed vegetables that were listed on the menu! Overall, it was a very good experience, and we are definitely looking forward to dining there again."

"We booked the winter garden for dinner with friends having previously visited only for the Sunday brunch. This is a great alternative to the Sunday brunch as you still enjoy the ambiance of the beautiful building and the pianist but youâre not limited to the buffet style (mediocre) food. Previously the Sunday buffet had been a real hit for celebrations with friends as it is inclusive of free flowing champagne. However their Sunday buffet has definitely dropped its food standard so the fixed menu is a definite good alternative. We looked at the website before attending and the course set menu was not listed. Apparently itâs for course lunch or to include a Bellini cocktail. You can mix and match the menus but the value is not quite so good. Iâd definitely recommend a pre dinner drink in the mirror bar which was very welcoming, although a little pricey. for gin plus mixer on top plus service so in the range of"

"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."

"The service was prompt and very friendly, but bit rushed especially at the end only 2 hours. It was a bit noisy but the ambience was pleasant. The starters were a bit overcooked my husband had prawns and I had the scallops. The steaks on the other hand were perfect and the sides and sauces were lovely, and dessert was scrumptious. Overall it was a lovely experience, will visit again"

"Lucarelli is absolutely amazing inside, it is so beautiful!!! My daughter and I visited for her 16th Birthday. We were 15 mins late and the host still accomadated us, which I was very relieved about. All of the food was delicious. We did have an issue with the focaccia being missing from the sharing plate but the waitress soon corrected this with 4 small slices between the 2 of us which was not enough. Other than that I can not fault the presentation of food and drinks, desserts were particularly impressive. Half of the staff were friendly and the other half were not. In particular one of the waitresses was rude and miserable which put a dampner on our evening. This was very disappointing and upsetting. We paid a lot of money and I expected an overall fantastic experience, with great food ambience and service. I tried not to let this spoil it but it was very difficult because my daughter and I had heard fabulous things about the restaurant. When the bill came over I was not given time to look at it before the card machine was presented. When I checked the bill after there was an optional £15 service charge, which I would have refused to pay due to the inadequate service overall. I would still return but ask not to be served by one waitress in particular."

"I work in West Bromwich so often stay over i have eaten at Lucarelli in The Postbox and the meal was exceptional but this is West Bromwich, it cant compare, can it? Away i needed somewhere to stay and hotel prices where double there normsil rate so I rang Lucarelli and they sorted me a room. Which was very nice for the price in fact much better than anything locally for a similar price. I had a great double bed a huge TV beautiful towles, the water was red hot and the hotel was quite i had the best night sleep in years. I had no intention to eat at Lucarelli but I has soon has i walked in the smell of garlic hit me and when my friend turned up we stayed. Dover sole, the famous fried courgettes and a couple of brwads with cheese and andouille (not sue about spelling). Food was fantastic, service was exceptional and a big thank you to Vinnie for looking after us, I will definitely be back."

"really good restaurants could be in lewisham in a short supply – rox burger is one of the few that lead the way. with the “London’s best burger” competition in March 2016, rox burger was awarded the “best rated burger in Great Britain” by tripadvisor in 2015. no mean feat. it was time to check it yourself. at the arrival our table is ready for six – it is on the middle floor, accessible by a spiral staircase. a large use of limited space, we welcome the private sphere of our own small dining room and - as there are two children in our party - the freedom to move in space."
