"Even though I had confirmed our table before hand when getting there they were unable to see the booking. Luckily I had an email and text confirmation to prove I did. Was very embarrassing because they held up a queue behind us. No apology or anything, the lady in the front just kept giggling and later said the booking was for the year 2021 which was incorrect as I showed her the email and text confirmation to prove it was for the correct date. Anyway We were put in a random room on our own with no other guests so it was incredibly quiet with no atmosphere (later a couple other tables had people) felt like a spill over room, food was ok but waiter made us feel like we should go for what he wanted vs what we wanted to order when it came to food and drinks so we didn’t enjoy the food, one waiter smelled really bad. Overall the whole experience was awful. A world of a difference from our previous experience at Boisdale Belgravia over a year ago. Will not be going there again. Very disappointed."

"My spouse and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary at this restaurant. The attentive staff went above and beyond to make our evening special. We indulged in some pricey Laurent Perrier Rose champagne before our starters, and enjoyed a lovely Sancerre wine with our Lobster Wellington. For dessert, we shared a delicious raspberry and meringue treat. The atmosphere was very relaxed, set in a stunning hotel."

"There are times when you truly understand the quality of a restaurant when something goes awry. This was the case for us at Crab and Lobster when we had a problem with one of our dishes. The staff handled the issue with great professionalism and efficiency, ensuring that our dining experience was not compromised. Despite this hiccup, the replacement dish and the other courses were excellent. We were impressed by the way the staff handled the situation and would not hesitate to recommend Crab and Lobster to others. The staff's exceptional service truly made our visit enjoyable."

"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."

"We went here in July and we got a lovely sunny evening. We had some wine outside first as we’d arrived early. Lovely atmosphere having a drink in the sunshine and just chilling out. We had our meal inside. Lovely restaurant and a nice menu. I had the mussels to start and they were delicious. For the mains I had the steak. It was ok but I’ve had a lot better elsewhere for less. The steak came with just chips and a battered onion ring. It just felt like a fast food meal. It was ok but I would’ve liked a choice of mash or veg instead of just chips. There was a wedding going on upstairs, it didn’t bother me but for some people it might be too noisy. You could head the band and a DJ later on so it might get a bit intrusive for some. I liked the restaurant and the decor of the place. It was very cosy. The only fault I had was the prices. The meal was expensive for what you got and at €30 a bottle for the house red it felt a bit expensive. It was also hard getting a taxi home so order early. I enjoyed my night at The Anglers Rest but probably wouldn’t return as better value elsewhere and it’s a bit remote for getting taxis home."

"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."

"Service was awful, keep asking are we ready to order every minute we didn’t have time to go through the menu. Was not helpful with questions, the waiter was not happy with answering question about the menu items, when we asked the waiter for recommendations and he said everything. The second time we told him we need some more time on the menu, he rolled his eyes and walked away. Finally when we are ready to order, he told us to our face “thanks God that took you two hours”. We arrived the restaurant at 6:35, waited a bit to be seated and we ordered at 6:50 we did not take a long time to order. Worst hospitality ever the aggression is unnecessary. Food was average could’ve used some recommendations if the waiter was professional and willing to explain the menu a bit more. Overall just avoid this place at all costs, you can find better seafood restaurant in Brighton."

"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."

"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 :"

"Well a incorrect booking at a toby lead us down the road to the Plough and how glad were we. We decided to sit on the terrace in a blaze of October sunshine.

Half a chicken, slabs of beef and beautiful succulent pork all dressed with a assortment of vegetables and a huge Yorkshire amazing Dessert for myself I went for the Eton mess again lovely my friend had the chocolate brownie and you could smell the richness of the chocolate from the other side of the table and she said it was absolutely lovely. The staff were friendly attentive, and sorted a doggy bag for me I couldn't eat all the roast) and to be honest always had a smile whenever we interacted. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return to Costa ala Langley On a end note, gorgeous tree in the car park Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Yorkshire Pudding, Cauliflower Cheese, Roasted"

"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."

"I finally found a new restaurant serving seafood/fish at the moment. bentley's location, vibes, ambiente and employees are perfect. bentley’s is next to some famous chains like gaucho and veeraswamy. it is recommended to go there in a sunny day and have a space in the open. iss perfect! eating was excellent. the fried calamari was delicious and golden roasted. the garnels were so delicious because of this tasty taste. they want more and more. we have also decided to fish with monks, which was so delicious and delicate, but a bit chewing. I mean, they're monkfish we're talking about. it was so delicious. the seabass was perfectly grilled. bently is all about...read more"

"First time at Brettingtons. Party of 6. We all agreed that the food was nice but nothing special. All the steaks seemed rare instead of medium, which was fine for 4 of us but the other 2 left quite a large portion each. The bar ran out of 2 out of 3 of the drinks I ordered which was disappointing. The bill was shocking. Nearly £600 for 6x starters, 6 x mains , 4 x desserts. A £62 surcharge added . And because of this, we definitely won’t be back"

"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."
