"As for the food and drinks, the scones were standard at best, though the cocktail was delicious and visually appealing. However, the tea was not to my liking; the chamomile flavor was heavily diluted, resulting in a poor tea-to-water ratio. The second waiter simply replaced my water glass with still water, and while he was apologetic, he admitted to forgetting our order. The cleanliness of the dining area also left much to be desired. Loud pop music from a nearby party and boisterous chatter from an adjacent table disrupted the atmosphere. On a positive note, the aesthetics of the main hall were festive and attractive, which was a nice contrast to the distracting noise."

"Booking for 11:30 am Sunday morning. Only serving brunch, which isn't normally an issue, but the brunch menu offerings were a ridiculously small selection. A couple of actual mains and then a bunch of sides. Also, no one stated that there would ONLY be brunch on offer at the time of booking or confirmation (spoke with someone on the phone for confirmation). The waiter, while genuinely nice, seemed completely lost. We decided to wait until 12:00 for the lunch menu, and still had to ask a couple of times to see the lunch menu so we could order when able. The roast sirloin and fish and chips were great, but the pork was very dry. It wasn't very busy but seemed utter chaos. The other tables around us were having issues getting anyone over to place orders or ask for additional items (even had to ask for salt and pepper, not already on the tables). We go there often enough, and it's normally very good. This was hopefully just an off day for everyone. Will definitely go back. Suggest though that if they're only serving brunch until 12:00 that there should be more on offer. The Summerhouse brunch menu puts this one to shame."

"We then opted for the chicken and lamb shish, which was beautifully cooked and tender. However, the portion of rice salad was quite small and finished before we could enjoy the rest of the meal. We ordered a strawberry mojito, but the order got mixed up twice. Although it tasted fine, it felt a bit overpriced for what it was. Additionally, we were surprised that Turkish tea wasn’t offered and wasn’t complimentary, which are small details that can greatly enhance the customer experience. Despite these issues, I would still recommend this restaurant and would consider returning to hopefully try the chicken and lamb dishes. With a few adjustments, this place could truly shine, as the decor and excellent music create a wonderful atmosphere."

"Comptoir is one of my favorite restaurants in Bath. Having visited Beirut frequently, I can say that Comptoir's food is authentic, fresh, and incredibly tasty. It reminds me so much of Lebanon. When my parents visited Bath, I took them to Comptoir. My Dad, who used to fly in and out of Beirut and eat there all the time, was very impressed by the food. This is a fantastic endorsement for the delicious taste of authentic Lebanese cuisine. We are lucky to live nearby and can enjoy dining there regularly. The staff is excellent and the restaurant is always fresh, clean, and lively. As soon as you walk in, you are welcomed with a warm greeting and a vibrant ambiance that transports you to a different world. I highly recommend trying Comptoir - you won't be disappointed."

"The food quality was disappointing. While the fish and chips were decent (we had two servings), the torte was quite poor. The puff pastry resembled a burger bun, and the filling was nearly inedible. The entrecôte steak was also a letdown—thin and gristly. In terms of price and quality, I found it lacking, especially for London standards. For example, three small tempura prawns cost £9.50, and a simple Spanish wine was priced at £10 per glass. Given the overall experience, I wouldn't recommend this place for a meal, but it could be alright for a quick drink."

Silk Room Restaurant & Champagne Bar

"Booked to eat at Silk Room after reading some positive reviews and reading the menu and liking the look of it. Arrived at 7:30pm on a Friday night to find only 1 other table filled which was slightly worrying to begin with. The food was Wetherspoons quality at higher class prices. One of the waiters whose name I didn't catch was fantastic for the latter half of our time there, however the other member of staff who served us for the majority of the time from the beginning stood behind the bar on his phone, not really paying attention to anything around him. We weren't offered any drinks after our first and after calling him over to ask for some, he brought them and left all the original empty glasses on the table. Just very shoddy and such a shame as it has the potential to be fantastic."

"The ambiance of the restaurant was fantastic, with a lovely authentic vibe and delightful music. It’s a great spot for taking photos, especially in front of the beautiful flower wall. However, our initial experience was a letdown as we felt ignored while waiting at the entrance until the bartender finally made eye contact and welcomed us. We were seated in the back area for dining and shisha. While the overall service was friendly, we often felt overlooked. Each time we wanted to order, we had to wait a long time, and it took nearly two hours to receive tap water despite asking at least six times throughout the night. My meal was enjoyable, but the salmon was overcooked and somewhat dry from being grilled too long. The shisha was good, but again, be prepared for a wait for the coals. If the service had been better and my food cooked properly, I would definitely consider returning."

"Comptoir Libanais offers an incredible atmosphère here by Kingston Riverside. The view is just unique and beautiful as you have the river right next to you. The food and drinks were great. I loved every bit of them. What I loved the most is that the food wasn't super hot when it came to us which is great as you don't need to wait to eat it. It was at the perfect temperature to be eaten. Their portions were good for the price and the quality was superb. We were served by a man who was always smiling, being friendly and served in a way that made us feel like we were home. The service was also fast to be a restaurant which is something we also loved. Everything seemed to be clean and organised. I never heard anyone shouting behind the kitchen which shows how professional the place is. This is not my firs time here and I continue to like what Comptoir offers in Kingston so I will recommend it with 100% certainty."

"Lovely spot right by the canal. Service was a little slow to start. They hit two of my pet peeves immediately-offered water we said still. Offered bread we said yes. Charged us £15 for two bottles of water and £10 for two small basket of bread. Charging for these items was not listed on the menu, nor mentioned by the staff. When I went to their website it noted Happy Hour-but failed to mention it was only for bar seating. All this said, my entree of sea bass was excellent. My partner had the brisket and was amazed how it just fell off the bone. Would go again, just not get clipped for water and bread."

"Well, all I can say is that I was so disappointed in the whole experience of our Christmas lunch today. We had a booking for 12.15pm.. we arrived on time, drink were ordered and then sadly it went down hill. Our food did not arrive until 1.50pm! The soup was cold (even the butter block was still whole in the bottom of the bowl), the Turkey was good. However the vegetables were so hard, my elderly mum had trouble cutting them so she left them! My 12 ye old daughter ordered the pizza to which she was given half … which seems very odd and ridiculous after a 2 hr wait! Puddings were lovely, but we didn’t wait for the coffees etc Our waitress was lovely but didn’t communicate either with us or her manage to what was going on. Tables around us were complaining about the waiting too. It was almost like they had completely overbooked and over stretched themselves. We (a booking of 5) did complain and we got all our drink deducted off the bill, only to be informed that the chef had had a medical emergency and had been take to hospital! Obviously, had this been communicated to all the waiting customers the outcome may have been very different and we would have had an understanding and empathy- but this wasn’t! Overall, I was so disappointed not only on the service, but how it left my parents feeling as Christmas dinner was their treat, in a restaurant they use regularly as I have travelled up from Dorset. I would not be able to recommend this restaurant or the festive menu at £32.95 per head. But I wish the staff member a speedy recovery."

"Bit of a mixed bag here. Came with a relative on a quiet Sunday. Ordered the chicken wings and tempura prawns and both were excellent. Chicken wings were exceptional and the prawns were cooked as expected with light batter. The main, pulled lamb with veg, was rather disappointing. The lamb was very nice and the gravy was spicy (chili or pepper hot). The hasselback were soft but needed more colour, the carrot was not cleaned properly and was tough and almost raw, the red onion and pepper had no place on the dish as they were not cooked like the runner beans and needed more cooking. If the veg had been cooked then the dish would have been so much better. However, these are easy things to do so frustrating. The Yorkshire puds were fantastic. The biscotti cheesecake was wonderful. Overall a 3/5 but should have been a 4. Staff were very nice and attentive. I would return but order a different main"

"I went to the Old Manor for a lunch time meal with my wife and we were served quickly for our drinks... However, that 's where the positive experience ends I 'm afraid. When we received our drinks we were not prompted to order food and it took a good 10 minutes after drinks to get approached for ordering food. Do bear in mind there were only 3 tables on at this time so it wasn 't Busy . We only ordered mains and nothing else, expecting it to be quick. And thankfully we did only order Mains, because if we had ordered a 3 course we would have probably been there for over 2 hours. Fast forward 45+ minutes (Yes you read that right it took over 45 minutes for our food to arrive. We ordered the Burger and the Chicken Escalope. It doesn 't take over 45 minutes during a quiet time to fry some chicken, chips and grill a burger. When we received our food the only positive really was that it was piping hot. After we started to dig in, the food was mediocre, nothing to rave about (Which is unfortunate, because The Old Manor used to be such a great place to get food. The waiting staff didn 't check up on us for the Post food delivery checkup so we ate it quickly and thankfully there were no issues with it. This isn 't the first time, however that we 've had service this bad. In the last 6 months we 've been 3 times, one of which was Mothers Day and even then it wasn 't the best and service was super slow. Overall it 's an understaffing issue, both front of house and kitchen. I do hope you take measures to improve the service here. As this has caused such a dampener on what should have been a lovely lunch with my wife. Do better."

"We had an excellent experience at this restaurant! The staff were fantastic, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was entertaining. The belly dancer on Friday night put on a great performance. The shisha was reasonably priced, making it a definite highlight. We chose this place for our work night out, and the manager at Lokma provided us with outstanding service. Definitely a place not to miss!"

"Booked for New Year's Eve. £69.99 per head. Service adequate but I have to say the food was not good. Pre prepared and not fresh. The amuse bouche was a piece of French bread with smoke salmon, more like a badly done canape. The Starters were accompanied by limp salad, the plates they were served on very cold evidencing they had just been sitting uncovered in a fridge. Very odd rock hard goat's cheese, and for others, 3 tiny pieces of dry sardine. As for the main, beef wellington, the fillet of beef overcooked and resembled a piece of shoe leather, I doubted it was even fillet. The pastry was raw on the inside and undercooked, and soggy on the outside. Think had been pre cooked and microwaved. Worst beef wellington I have ever seen. We all sent back and chef offered rack of lamb.Sadly this was presented raw, not rare, with huge chunks of broccoli, soggy roast potatoes and carrots. Those who ate fish said was adequate, but the spinach and ricotta filo main had by one was also raw and underdone. As for the apple tart, again some received ice cold from the fridge, others luke warm although the flavour was good. Actually spoilt New Year's Eve and we left hungry. What was even more annoying is that I believe we were not charged for 2 bottles of wine, but were expected to pay for the nasty food. I would rather have paid for the £60 wine. I will be contacting the restaurant owner for a full refund, minus the wine. I can't believe we were actually charged £75 a head for the meal, pretty disgraceful in my opinion. We actually doubted whether there was a chef in the kitchen......"

"I write rarely cripples, but unfortunately this was one of the worst takes I had. I was looking for a good restaurant in the near east in the opposite and I was really hopeful in the face of the experiences of other peoples that the prices are justified by a... tempting meal. Unfortunately this was not the case. Maybe it was because it was a Tuesday night and her chef was not on or so, but the meal I had was on place with a bad kebab shop and the price was 3x so much. the lamb was hard and boiled over, the chicken was perfect, but not big, and the falafel was good, but not £7 good. I'm sorry, but I'm not going back."

That is, cocktails (for Londoners) have a reasonable price that with the advantage of the views becomes a good value for money has a somewhat restricted schedule and it is convenient to book."

"Chosen for its proximity to Hampstead Theatre and the good reviews (which must be from friends/relatives of the owners! we arrived at 5.40 to an empty restaurant, were totally ignored by the staff, saw a table with my name on it, eventually someone came over and bought menus but could not explain any of the dishes. Waited over 40 minutes for food which was cold and tasteless. Managed to get waiter's attention, said food was cold, she shrugged and walked away. I asked for the service charge to be deducted from the bill, this was removed without anyone even asking why! Why is this place featured on toptable? We would have had a better experience at Macdonalds!!"

"Sunday evening was my second visit to the restaurant following a visit late summer with my family who were over from the states at the time. Even though we live South of the river we returned last night to celebrate my mothers 70th Birthday. Our host Aref's service delivery was impeccable, his attention to detail was extremely impressive, he was thoughtful and made the evening feel extremely special for us all. I will certainly return again in the not so distant future."
