"The Grand was absolutely amazing! The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive to our needs. Mariana, who handled our booking, went above and beyond to meet our requirements. On the day we visited, Romana took care of our large group of 20 girls, and everything was perfect. I can't praise Romana enough; she was the best hostess we could have asked for. She managed everything flawlessly, and we felt well taken care of throughout our visit. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality!"

"Very poor service, lack of cleanliness of the place, our table was really dirty and there was not intention to keep it clean for customers. I was disappointed this time. We wanted to celebrate with my family an special occasion, sadly either the staff was tired or they didn’t make an effort to even take an order from my teenager nephew and he was ignored. It’s not difficult to make people feel welcome to a place where we come often, at least before this experience. What a pity to have a good product but to loose customers because of staff attitude and lack of cleanliness."

"The food was great (had a very lovely afternoon tea) but unfortunately the service was poor; although polite when speaking to us the service staff pretty much ignored us once we had ordered our food. My friend and I wanted to order another hot drink but had to wait 45 minutes for someone to take our order (despite attempting to get someone’s attention several times) and then again when wanting to get the bill it took standing up and putting our coats on after another long time waiting (and asking several people) to actually get the bill. I want to blame it on how busy the restaurant was however we saw several tables around us come and go in the time we were there."

"We have visited Crepe Affaire in St Albans for breakfast several times. The food is always delicious and some of the best crepes we've had. The kids enjoy the chocolate and banana crepes, while my partner and I always opt for the vegan crepes with cheese, spinach, mushrooms, and tomato, which are absolutely fantastic! We really enjoy dining here."

"Firstly let me say the front of house staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately that is where the great service ends. We booked for the Sunday roast but we were only given the main menu. After sitting trying to get someone’s attention for over 30 minutes we decided to just look up the menu online. Finally managed to flag someone down for service and ordered a starter, beef roast and a drink each beer and a wine) . Starter arrived 15 mins later but still no drinks. Finished the starter and had to get up to find a member of staff for our drinks. Really poor service from the wait staff. We ordered cauliflower cheese on the side which arrived 10 minutes before the actual roast. The food was delicious and one of the best roasts in the area but the service for the price was terrible."

"great atmosphere and mood. service was really good. was also very good. only small disappointment was the amount of meat that came with the cheese (e.g. with chorizo, or raclette with cured meat). felt a bit like we just brotkartoffeln and cheese for the whole meal and that we might have got something else. but overall good experience!"

"We were greeted warmly and escorted to our table where we were offered drinks and menus. We had booked afternoon tea, which was absolutely delicious. We found ourselves needing more sandwiches so we ordered extra, which we had to pay for separately. We also needed to request another pot of tea. The restaurant had a peaceful and beautifully decorated ambiance. Our only disappointment was that our table was a bit too small for all five adults, and we could have used a third table for more comfort. Overall, thank you for the pleasant experience."

"Was hoping to find a nice cheese fondue place. The food was good not great, Ive had better and the melted cheese was cold on arrival had to send back. Unfortunately we couldn’t get red wine by the glass which was my preference on a cold night. Champagne doesn’t have the same effect. There were also strict rules on ordering before 8:30pm, so before finishing our main were being asked to order if we wanted anything else, and if we did to order it immediately as the kitchen would be closing. In general, we had a nice time but there was nothing the stood out about the experience, was all just ok and cost more than £60 for 2 drinks and a shared cheese dish. I would also prefer to have service not added to the bill unless asked, this is my viewpoint on all restaurants that automatically include it. It should be discretionary based on service, not an expectation added to the bill. Not planning a return visit."

"My friend and I absolutely loved this restaurant! The ambiance is lovely, the food is excellent, and the staff is fantastic. I really appreciated the concept of small plates, which allows diners to sample a variety of dishes instead of sticking to just one or two. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of our waiter—either Juan or Jorge, a very common name in Spanish. If they happen to read this review, I apologize for not remembering their name; I would have written a review sooner! Overall, I highly recommend this place for dinner—you won't be disappointed!"

"The restaurant was quite quiet, all the others eating there left half way through our meal. We were mostly left alone once the food arrived. After we had finished we waited in vain for staff to clear up and offer dessert or coffee. So after approx 15 mins we asked for the bill and left. Only then did we have a conversation. The food was ok, nicely cooked squid and duck. It was a very small tapas menu and if you have a fussy enough partner finding dishes without his dislikes was difficult. We felt the staff could have been more attentive and felt the food choice limited and over priced, but then this is Bath!"

"We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! We decided to try it out after not being able to go to our usual spot. The atmosphere was lovely, and we enjoyed a few glasses of wine along with a wonderful coffee. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We're definitely looking forward to coming back for breakfast very soon!"

"a table for a rare night as a group of four. another group of four were the only other customers. wein order right immediately followed by our food order. 40 minutes later, it was necessary to ask for something more wein, as has not been checked since. after another 25 minutes some of our food arrived, but not all. the salads arrived without dressing so we asked for some. I was offered mayo or pesto dressing for a nikoise, but especially for a French dressing. some more food came followed by some pesto dressing when I was reused for a French dressing was asked what that was?! I excavated some oil balm. a diver escape was served hard with cold kartoffels, so that was sent back and a suppe reordered in the hope, it would be fast, it wasn't. the other table of the customers also had problems, especially the order of sea bass fillets from a whole fish. instead of the cook that took it out of the bone for her, they made her order something else crazy eating waste. the waitress seemed to have only a limited autority when we asked to talk to someone else, said the cook couldn't speak English. she was understandably annoyed that both customers were happy while she was not the most attentive waitress I felt for her that she was left with the training or skills to deal with things. how can a restaurant with the ability to sit about 30, not cope with 8 diners? they annoyed the owners who wanted to come, but a little later we said they couldn't make it. we paid for the two bottles wein left disappointed not back."

"If you are seeking a high-end dining experience, this may not be the place for you. However, if you are in search of delicious homemade sandwiches, scones, cakes, and desserts served with a friendly attitude, this is the perfect spot. Our table was arranged in a charming corner of the garden, but we had to relocate inside due to a brief rain shower. Despite being a small inn, The Claremont exudes class and charm. Even if you are the only guest booked for afternoon tea, the staff still puts in extra effort in the preparation and baking of the treats."

"The food here is truly fantastic, and it's a delightful twist on the traditional afternoon tea! As vegetarians, we were pleased to find a variety of delicious options available. The atmosphere was charming, and the service was excellent as well. I would definitely recommend this place! My only suggestion is that, as it's an Indian afternoon tea, I was a bit disappointed there wasn't authentic masala chai served. I hope that during our next visit, we can enjoy properly brewed desi masala chai—it would make the experience absolutely perfect!"
