"After making a reservation online, the restaurant staff promptly seated us and provided top-notch service with friendly and attentive servers. The food was delectable and beautifully presented, making for an enjoyable dining experience. The cozy and inviting ambiance added to our overall satisfaction, and we would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. Despite a minor mix-up at the beginning, our experience was fantastic."

"Lunching with a client based close by. So many restaurants in the area have closed, Oscar a safe bet. Tried to book on line, got 90% through the process then they asked for my credit card details for a lunch booking for two at a pretty ordinary, hotel based restaurant. Seems OTT and made me uncomfortable. So I rang them, made the reservation, no credit card details needed. Daft. Staff were brilliant, great beers, food was fantastic pork schnitzel was superb but a little expensive adding chicken to the Caesar salad added £10 to the price! Added. The salad was already £20. For a Casar salad! Thus, £30 all up. Punchy."

"After visiting the restaurant in Leeds we thought we would visit the Liverpool one, staying for the weekend to celebrate hubby's birthday, its a lot quieter than the Leeds one which we appreciated and we're seated in a separate room away from the bar which was comfortable, the lighting is very dim so as with others we were using the torches on our phones, think we were lucky to be given the best waitress she was amazing and definitely a hospitality expert, starters were tempura prawns and spare ribs, very nice delivered really quickly, next I had fillet steak ordered as extra duck egg cauliflower cheese, hubby had duck, again I do feel for the price you pay chips or mash should be included, mine was very salty, not sure if it was the steak sauce, we ordered dessert which were 4 different ones to share, delicious and came out with a beautiful birthday cheese cake with a candle for Barry, we did pay the optional service charge as the service was well worth it"

"Friday evening for Christmas dinner with friends, a few free tables we had reserved. not many options in the menu. complementary bread and butter we did not order any appetizers. I had a cocktail pinklina, which was thought to be passionate about heavenly and rosensirup, but it was watered down, it actually had no taste and I regretted to get it. I asked if they could let me have a strawberry daiquiri style, but they were not able to make drinks on the menu. I had steak, which was delicious, came with a side of chips, wobble pure and bone-mark sauce. the steak was very juicy, so did not need much sauce. we also ordered the lobster pasta, which looked beautiful and the duck. I had dessert the Sickers bar, it was very filled and I couldn't finish it. I tasted just like a beeping bar with a side banan. we also ordered the hot chocolate cake, which was very heavy was a lighter option meringue. great ambiente, very dimme lighting I couldn't photograph my food clearly and also the image of the night was dark. there was music, a little loud, but there was a good atmosphere. service was good and personal friendly."

"We are partial to an afternoon tea and have attended many. This was a very good one and we did enjoy it very much. We had a lovely table at the back of the restaurant and our waitress was lovely. The ambience and the decor in the restaurant was excellent and the location for our theatre visit was perfect. On the whole the experience was excellent and we would return. The scones were probably the best we 've had for a long time. We all agreed they were delicious. So light inside with a fine crust on the outside. Bit disappointing we had to share the jam and cream just give everyone their own to avoid the have you had enough? or pass the cream scenarios. The sandwiches were delicious too, but we felt for the money a bit mean. Just one round each, ie four finger sandwiches. Many afternoon teas in this price range would have topped up the savoury, but this didn 't happen here. No small quiches or pastries, just four finger sandwiches. The sweet cakes and pastries were clearly made on the premises and we all thought, apart from the chocolate and passion fruit that they were delicious and expertly made. None of us enjoyed the chocolate and passion fruit tart. Also, we had to ask for our tea to be topped up. The cocktails were a nice added touch, but they were very small and again, none of us like the combo of the chocolate and passionfruit cocktail. All in all though, lovely surroundings, good service and mainly delicious food with the best scones in town!"

"This restaurant is overrated, overpriced and overall a below average experience. We visited for brunch, the prawn and crab eggs Benedict was ok but nothing right write home about. The minute steak was too chewy and hard to cut with the steak knife they provided and when we told our waiter he offered another knife!!! They also offered to change it but advised it would all be the same! The blueberry pancake I ordered because obviously I couldn’t eat the steak was quite dense. I wouldn’t eat here again."

"I went for a business lunch at this restaurant. The service was slow and not very attentive. I had to constantly ask for more drinks and information about when our food would be ready. This was frustrating, especially considering the price of the restaurant. The chips were hard to eat, as if they had been left out for too long. However, the steak was pretty good."

"We tried the early tasting menu (great value, book online beforehand). The food was beautifully presented and the portions were generous. They substituted all the meat dishes on the menu with vegetarian options, which were all incredibly delicious. The service was outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff, especially a charming French waiter. The atmosphere was lively and the outdoor seating was lovely. We would definitely return."

"My friend I booked a table here for dinner as we had been here previously and loved it. When we arrived we asked if we could sit outside however the waitress said this is fine but would require the table back for half 7 (we arrived just gone 6) and that if we sat inside there would be no rush for giving the table back. We sat inside and most of the staff were very attentive and friendly. The food drinks were great aswell. However when it got to about 10 past 8 we were told that our time had run out on the table and we had to leave now and that when you book it says you have 2 hours despite a dessert menu being offered to us 10 mins before this. There was no heads up or prior warning given, the waiter then came over with the bill before we could even finish our drinks asking how we’d like to pay before we’d even discussed it. Once the bill had been paid and taken we were finishing our drink when the waiter came over for the third time and said you need to leave now and give us the table back and stood by the table waiting for us to stand up and go. Having been told there would be no rush to give the table back and not given any sort of 15 min warning so we could Atleast finish the drinks and request the bill ourselves the way this was handled completely ruined the nice food and drinks we’d had and rather than going to the bar we chose to go elsewhere because we didn’t feel welcome. Quite honestly it felt like we’d done something wrong and were being ushered out of the building. Really disappointing end to what was a nice meal out."

"I recently visited Frankie and bennys at the rock with my boyfriend. We couldn’t order on the app as it wasn’t working so the waitress was straight over and took our order. The starters come out pretty much straight away and were delicious! Garlic pizza...was worth it, however I got the Mac and cheese bites, and for the price of it you only get which I was slightly disappointed in. The mains took quite awhile to come out, but it was quite busy with the lunchtime rush, so didn’t mind waiting. I ordered the chicken Parma hero sub and it was honestly amazing!! recommend! Although don’t get a starter as it’s so big I couldn’t finish it, which I was upset about because it was so good! My boyfriend got the classic cheese burger, however it was very over cooked and didn’t taste very nice, looked like cheap quality meat. He hardly touched his meal which was a shame. Overall I was happy with the service and the meal, however don’t order the burger as you will be disappointed!"

"What a superb experience, and a beautiful location. Inconspicuous from the outside but once inside, a wonderful conservatory gives diners a view over the majestic courtyard which could be a world away from the hustle and bustle of the busy London streets. We were greeted, served and fully attended to amazingly, by all the staff and the food was exceptional, with a menu that has something to suit all. Beautiful decor, with plush leather dining chairs in Tiffany blue and white linen table cloths, gives a feeling that the bill is going to be much more expensive than it is. One of our party commented that this was the best Christmas dinner (apart from his wife's ; ) that he had ever had, and the turkey slice he was presented with was certainly huge by usual standards. As I said in the title of this review, if you haven't been already, you're missing out, and I can't believe it wasn't even busy. I'm loathed to leave this review as I really want to keep this little gem for myself but I need to give this wonderful restaurant and staff the credit that is due. If you want to impress but still keep an eye on the purse/ wallet, this place is definitely for you. "

"We chose this as a post -theatre meal after seeing a matinee in London. Being near the theatre it was very busy but the staff couldn't be more friendly and efficient. The food was excellent all round and they catered for our special requests without any trouble. If we find ourselves in this area again we will certainly choose to eat at F&Bs."

"Food was sub standard. Ordered the ginger and chill crab and cod cakes with a sweet corn relish type of thing. Couldn’t taste any chilli or ginger. Cod wasn’t fresh and over cooked. Sweet corn relish was so sweet it couldn’t been a dessert. Staff weren’t naturally warm and friendly. Polite but wooden. Sat inside (first day of covid regulations being relaxed) and it was freezing. Other diners had thick winter coats on whilst eating. Whole place lacked atmosphere. £80 for 2 people, 2 course with half bottle of wine. Not worth it at all. Had a latte pre food. Tasted like a sachet!! Awful. Would not recommend and will not be back. Didn’t bring it up whilst there as was celebrating a friends birthday and didn’t want to sour her day. Very poor Cowley Manor. Do better!!"

"I haven't been to a Frankie & Benny's in years, so my girlfriend and I decided to have dinner there tonight. I started with mozzarella sticks, which were good, and she had cheese bacon potato skins, which she enjoyed, so we were off to a good start. I ordered a margherita pizza and she ordered bolognese. However, the cheese on the pizza was hard, congealed, and plasticky (definitely not mozzarella), so I had to pick a lot of it off. The pasta in the bolognese was a strange brown color instead of a red tomato sauce, and my girlfriend thought it tasted odd (some of the pasta was also congealed). We also ordered loaded lava fries, which arrived dry with no sauce, so I had to send them back to be made properly. The total bill came to nearly £50, but luckily they accepted my blue light card, so we got a 20% discount. If it weren't for the discount, I would have been even more displeased. We definitely won't be returning, so save your money and go somewhere that serves better quality food."

"Continental breakfast has a good selection, but the pastries were the equivalent to a cheap low cost hotel. There are a couple of good bakeries in Cheltenham and would suggest the hotel review their supply chain for these.I decided to pay extra for the full English, and in all honesty, I wish I had not. I could not eat more than a quarter of the sausage as it tasted like a cheap pork sausage. I was also served the smallest poached hens egg I have ever seen you get the picture.Overall, this hotel really really needs to up their game with the quality of their ingredients.The service however was excellent and the waiting staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly"

"We went to Frankie and Benny’s for a delicious authentic Italian lunch as we were getting hungry and wanted to break up a jubilee line journey from Stratford to Green park and remembered this was here and having been once before and liking it I decided to go back.The service was exemplary,our waiter was just fantastic very friendly,chatty and polite.He handed my gluten free allergy really well.Also food came out in about 10 minutes which was great bearing in mind it was all so fresh!The food was absolutely delicious,my gluten free pepperoni pizza was heavenly and you couldn’t get more Italian than a Frankie’s gluten free pepperoni pizza.It was lovely and hot,presented well,good portion sizes,extremely fresh and very good for money!Infact if you visit at lunch time you get 1 course for £9.90.That’s fantastic value and better value than places like Nando’s etc.And with just buying tap water it’s a real bargain which is great as water is one of my favourite drinks,you can never ever ever go wrong with a glass of water.It’s good for you and boots you’re hydration and well-being.Also the decor in here is lovely,all very fresh and beautifully decorated.I love the new Frankie’s decor it’s just so nice and I love it how they have re-visited it.It’s much cooler(temperature wise and fashion wise).I love the lights as well.It is also very spacious and clean.Also toilets were convenient and clean.This is a perfect place for a meal if you are on a train journey,before or after shopping, cinema,bowling or concert.Or after a trampoline session,skydiving session,climbing session or during a day out in London.Would highly recommend this.I reviewed it on tripadvisor as they were displaying the 2022 travellers choice award and they had quite a lot of negative reviews recently and to share my positive experience may help them have that award again this year or in future years"

"I went here with my little boy in a buggy and as soon as I reached the door, a worker came and held the door for me. we got a nice comfortable table and while I was going through the menu, she played with the little one. I ordered a French toast and a mocha for me and for the little one I asked her if they could make a cheese sandwich and they were happy to do that. had a nice breakfast very friendly staff, great service, nice eating. they have just the needs of the little one. she was comfortable and happy, which meant that I could also enjoy my fönchtoast. in any case recommend!"

"**Meal Type:** Dinner **Price per Person:** £10–20 **Food Rating:** 2/5 **Service Rating:** 1/5 **Atmosphere Rating:** 2/5 I recently dined at this restaurant for dinner and had a rather disappointing experience. The food was below average, earning only a 2 out of 5 for its lack of flavor and presentation. The service was particularly disappointing, rating just a 1 out of 5—our server seemed inattentive and unwelcoming. As for the atmosphere, it felt quite underwhelming, deserving a rating of 2. Overall, I was not impressed with my visit and wouldn't recommend it."
