"I was there for lunch during the week and it was very quiet, only our table and one other. The service was good and the food delicious, good portions and very good value. We couldn’t understand why it was as quiet as it was. I will definitely be going back and am looking forward to seeing the restaurant in a night setting."

"We made a reservation through OpenTable, but our payment wasn't taken off the final bill. This was disappointing and has shaken my trust in OpenTable's booking system. I would recommend making reservations directly with the restaurant instead of using OpenTable. I no longer trust them!"

"Banyan on the Thames is a nomenclatural inexactitude because the banyan tree is an inhabitant of the Indian subcontinent, rather than being passed off as a floating ficus on the Thames. Belonging as it does to the fig family, the original banyan drops spectacular aerial roots from its branches to the ground beneath its immense verdant canopy, producing a most unique treat for the eyes. The name of this tree has been appropriated by the Raphael on the Left Bank hotel in London for its restaurant. Maybe it aptly symbolises the roots of the restaurant being in the subcontinent. What strikes one about the place on first sight is someone's apparent obsession with the Medusa, signifying the Versace brand, which appears on every table top and virtually all over. The second striking feature is the artificial grass laid out both indoors and outside in the so called “garden” where there is a profusion of fake flowers, creepers and shrubs. It looks tacky and creepy and screams fake. The atmosphere in the so called garden, was not helped by the music played at decibels that are designed to hurt the ear drums. Food was fair to middling in quality, taste and presentation. The standard of service was reasonable. On the other hand, the location is magical. You can spend quite a while looking out through the large glass windows as the world goes by. The Thames flows quietly, more water under Battersea bridge, while you are people watching. And if you are feeling energetic, one has the opportunity of course to refresh oneself by striding along the Thames in the company of others who may be ambling, jogging and strolling. In conclusion, it’s really nothing to write home about"

"the first time here. came for a family meeting. my margherita pizza was delicious (specified to the cook! the atmosphere was great (nice to also have fresh air). cornish cider was beautiful and refreshing. I was however a little disappointed that there was only steak knife to cut the pizza and not actually pizza cutter."

"I made a reservation for Sunday brunch, not realizing that the restaurant had changed ownership. Upon entering, there was a noticeable lack of atmosphere in the foyer, with no cloakroom staff or concierge as there had been before. The staff were friendly and eager to please, and the food was good. However, we were informed that the Sunday brunch had been cancelled on occasion due to low bookings, and were advised to call ahead in the future to confirm availability. It was disappointing to see the staff working hard while facing a lack of returning customers. The price was not cheap (£45 for adults, £22.50 for kids) and the restaurant was missing its usual buzz and atmosphere."

"The 30 km drive was worth it, we had a wonderful evening there. Beautiful atmosphere, very friendly service, and the entire meal was a dream. The steaks (Try your Tenderloin 4 different filet steaks) were cooked perfectly and each one was more delicious than the last. Both the appetizer (buffalo mozzarella with tasty tomatoes) and the dessert (New York Cheesecake, a superb American cheesecake) were delicious. We will gladly come back! (Even after the move to Gütersloh)"

"We made a reservation for 7 people and arrived 10 minutes early, as one normally does. However, our order was not taken until 7:35. To our disappointment, we were told that there was no steak available, which has happened to me before at this restaurant. The food was good overall, but my coke tasted off, so much so that I began to worry I may have COVID-19 until I tried the onion rings and regained my sense of taste. I felt uneasy due to the current COVID situation and noticed that the hygiene standards were not up to par. In contrast to my recent trip to Turkey where hygiene was impeccable, at Dizzys the bottle of mayo was being passed from table to table and the utensils were left out for anyone to handle. While the food was enjoyable, hygiene and service left much to be desired."

"We ate here previously in 2018 and thought the meal was excellent. We therefore had high expectations this time around. The food is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. For food, I ordered from the specials, beef Tartare (my favourite), and my partner the burrata salad. The tartare had far too much mustard, which the waiter had replaced for me as it was inedible. Although the replacement had less mustard, it wasn’t the most attractive looking beef, you would expect better for £29. The burrata salad was excellent. We both had steaks for main, and these were really nice, although the bernaise sauce was lacking in taste. Anyone reading this may brush my comments off as It sounds like I’m a whiner, and focused on the cost, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I love to eat out at Michelin starred restaurants and I don’t mind paying top prices; I don’t like paying top prices and getting average food."

"This unique ice cream shop offers a diverse selection of flavors that customers can choose and fill themselves. The toppings are exceptional and the ice cream is delicious, although it may be on the expensive side. The restaurant is said to be suitable for vegetarians, but it's recommended to double-check with the staff. Customers pay based on the weight of their ice cream."

"I was disappointed to find that the hotel had no record of my booking for a birthday tea, and the service was lacking. The tablecloth was dirty, and the afternoon tea was not priced as stated on the website. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, they seemed indifferent and I had to insist on speaking with a manager. I requested that the original price be honored, but this was not offered. The overall cleanliness of the hotel left much to be desired, and it appeared run-down, which might not have been so bothersome if the customer service had been better and if they had taken the time to make my mum's birthday a special occasion."

"Very disappointing experience. I love PF Chang in the US so I was excited to find it in London and see my favourite dishes on the menu. That was as close as it got to the real thing! Lettuce wraps were too smoky. Chicken dumplings were tasty. Mongolian beef chewy and seasoning was all wrong with a lot of raw spring onions thrown in and that was it. Orange chicken was very soft and sauce gluey. Both main courses felt like they’d been sitting on the side for too long before being served. We were not offered a second drink despite our glasses being empty from after our starters. When I ordered my first drink, I had asked the waitress that I was interested in 3 cocktails and asked her opinion which she gave and it was delicious. A savvy waitress would have come back to see if we wanted to try the others! She also didn’t offer desserts or coffee so we had desserts elsewhere. It wasn’t a bad experience, just disappointing. Will not be returning."

"My husband and I booked a table here for our anniversary. Venue and atmosphere are both lovely. I stuck to the same cocktail and my husband sampled a couple. All very nice. The food however was not so great. The charcuterie board was ok but nothing special. I ordered veal which ordinarily I wouldn't but I was feeling adventurous. It smelt and tasted like roast pork which was not enjoyable, and also not how it should taste. Also a couple of the potatoes I got with it where rotten. My husband ordered the chicken which was essentially a large chicken Kiev. We both tried each others food but neither of us enjoyed it and I'm not a fussy eater. We shared a dessert which was the baked cheesecake and that was very nice. I would recommend coming here for drinks and the atmosphere. The live music was to a high standard and the staff where friendly but I definitely would not eat here again. A lot of money spent on a very disappointing meal."

"Been trying to get a booking here since our reservation in December was cancelled due to COVID and quite frankly we were utterly disappointed. Front of house werent very friendly. The ambience was nice very chic and lively however music volume was so loud so quite hard to hold a conversation. The waiter we had was outrageously rude. He put his hand up to me to slow down my ordering which I was going at at the pace of a snail anyway! It took 10minutes to order because apparently the system was slow and I had to repeat myself several times. We couldn't decide on garlic sauce or peppercorn and we were told abruptly and rudely which one is it guys . He also was speaking to the table behind us while taking our order and didn't apologise. He just overall had a slight attitude. Starter turned up before our drinks! Calamari batter was underseasoned but sauces and squid itself were nice. Steaks turned up and mine looked anaemic (no griddle lines looked almost poached) but somehow it was overcooked as I asked for medium rare but a medium steak turned up. My partner asked for medium well and his was pink! Again steaks were underseasoned. My chips were warmish but not piping hot. Steak knives were only brought over once the steaks were already present on the table. The loo had no loo roll I went in to 3 cubicles and absolutely nothing. Our reservation was for 2 hrs and we were out of there in an hour. Honestly I can't articulate how disappointed we were with the meal. The bill came to almost 200£ and I could get better service and delicious food at a high street restaurant for a 1/4 of the price. Clearly a place that focuses on ambience as opposed to quality of food. May give the Strand outlet one last chance but I will be sticking with Gaucho or Hawksmoor in the future."

"We are regulars at the inn and our experience last night was amazing. Phil our waiter could not do enough for us and definitely deserved a mention!! The food was lovely, there was an issue with one of the mains but this was sorted quickly and nothing was too much hassle. Thank you for making our experience so special. We will be back soon!!"

"This restaurant has a reputation for being affordable, which may conjure some negative perceptions. I used to frequent the branch near Warren Street and recently visited this location for a quick meal. The prices are very reasonable, with a 12-inch thin-crust pizza costing less than £10. The dining area is small and simple, with no table service. However, the pizza rivals some of the best Italian restaurants I have visited, such as Alfresco in Whetstone, London. The fresh and tasty ingredients create an enticing aroma that will make your mouth water. While they also offer salads and other extras, the pizza is the star of the show here. Despite the low prices, the quality is not compromised. They also make a great espresso for a perfect ending to your meal."
