"Nobu Old Park Lane, as well as its sister restaurant on Berkeley Street had previously held a Michelin Star for a long period of time before they were both demoted in the 2014/15 guide. I wonder how much that demotion has actually impacted on their business. Judging on our recent visit on a Saturday night, I would guess not very much. The restaurant was packed with young, hip and trendy with girls in outfits so skimpy you wonder if their intention was to indulge in naked sushi. Then again, maybe I am turning into an old foggy. The original Nobu London opened in 1997 and it is a testament to the brands power and unique food that it remains relevant in today’s fickle, trendy dining scene. The website does not advertise it very well, but the restaurant is located in the Metropolitan by COMO hotel on Park Lane which location provides a lovely backdrop if you are lucky enough to snare a window seat with views of Hyde Park."

"we had a secret escape break after friends recommended us amberley castle and we were not disappointed. when we arrived, as many people with lunch or afternoon there were no places in the parking lot, this was soon solved as the reception told us where we left our car and we left the key with them and our car was moved as soon as a room was available. our room was amazing, all the staff are excellent and make sure that their stay is the best possible, and what can I say exceptionally. amberley castle is not cheap, but they will certainly get a good value for money when they have a special celebration, this is a place that I recommend and hope to return a day."

"Beautiful designed restaurant and bar near Leicester Square serving Aegean inspired dishes. We had Seabass Ceviche, Saganaki cheese with truffle honey, Taramasalata Tzatziki dips to start and for mains the sliced Roast Chicken with barley, and graviera cheese and Pastichio which is a Greek baked pasta with king oyster mushrooms and a cheese sauce. For dessert we shared the Lokma , fried dough balls with thyme honey, walnuts, and served with Madagascan vanilla ice cream. A very filling sweet! Prices are high but it is a central location and a good place for a date night and there is good music with different DJs"

"Fantastic service from the Sommelier, really enjoyed our food from the a la carte menu. Everything from the lamb to the duck and the vegetarian dishes were all amazing. Our group have eaten at several of Atul’s restaurants over the years and agreed this was up there as one of the best meals."

"Koji is one of our favourite local restaurants. . The food is always excellent, especially the fish dishes, excellent quality, amazing presentation . On our last visit we asked for some guidance as to what/how many dishes to order but unfortunately our server was not able to help us. Next time…"

"The restaurant is lovely, but our experience was disappointing. There were 6 of us and the food was not good. The lamb kebabs and lamb chops were tough and unpleasant to eat. The service was also poor, with the waiter only attending to us when called. After paying a high price for poorly cooked food, we decided to never eat at hotels again. We had much better meals at other local restaurants such as Sawil and Marie Venna."

"Definately Japan House Londons ' best kept secret a stylishly inkeeping resturant, with 'Zen ' decor and a beatifully clean, quite kitchen to watch and admire the artisan chefs at their craft. The dishes were delicious, especially the fresh produce for the starters, and the additional teas and puddings did not dissapoint. I invited my mother and brother along, celebrating his birthday , and they surprsised him with 'Happy Birthday ' written in chocolate icing on the dessert tray, nice touch head waiter (clearly listening) which impressed him no end! We will certainly be back to try the many dishes on offer here! Ps The Loos are a luxury so dont forget to visit the Lavatory!!!"

"The food was terrible. I couldn’t even drink the coffee, the croissant was too oily and it wasn’t made with puff pastry. No comments about the Royale eggs two bricks with a sticky sauce. First time I need to write a review complaining about the food of a restaurant in London. Don’t go, there’s plenty of fantastic places for brunch in London which are even cheaper than this one. The fake lavender decoration doesn’t deserve these prices."

"Our visit didn’t start out so well as we struggled to find the entrance! Some better signage would be good, especially as the doors aren’t marked and look more like a goods entrance! We were seated right opposite one set of doors and since they were automated we were blasted with cold air for a while each time someone came in or left. We thought it wasn’t worth asking to move since it was busy and now where better to put us, and that things would settle once the lunch covers were all in, but then people started cutting through to use the restaurant as a short cut to get into the hotel! This just spoiled the ambience for us as we were cold and ended up watching the door. The staff were however lovely and the food and drinks great. I realised afterwards that my main was listed on the menu (in its title) as having walnuts with it, but I didn’t get any with my dish so that was a shame (I’d have mentioned if I’d realised at the time). The Jerusalem artichoke soup, ricotta and truffle ravioli, and olive oil martini were our highlights, and we’d recommend."

"We ate in the restaurant one night for dinner. There were 4 of us. The food was lovely but the service not so great. Initially there was a mistake with our drinks order which was quickly rectified. We then ordered starters and mains. When the mains came they only brought out 2 sides of chips instead of 4. They said the other 2 sides of chips would be a minute or two, however it soon became clear they had forgot to cook them as we waited 4/5 minutes before they arrived by which time our steaks were only warm. We also had to ask for water for the table 3 times. Looking at other reviews I think we were just unlucky and the waiter was having a bad day. We couldn’t fault the food. The waiter adjusted the bill and didn’t charge us for the chips or our first drink as way of apology."

"I was searching for a restaurant for a pre-theatre meal and a special place to celebrate my husband's birthday. The ambience and authenticity were fantastic, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing, we opted for the set menu priced at £35 per person. The quality of the food was outstanding, but we wished there were more dishes and larger portions per person. For example, we ordered the teriyaki salmon and there was only one piece that we had to share. I felt that since we were paying per person, the portions should have been more equal. However, the dessert was delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and visit again, but I would be more cautious with my food choices. It is a perfect location for a pre-theatre meal near the Royal Albert Hall."

"What a beautiful place! The seating was really comfortable, and Ana was very efficient, attentive, and helpful. Our party of eight hadn't been able to get together for three years, so there was a lot to catch up on. The small private room we were in made for a pleasant dining experience. The menu offered a decent selection, but the portions were quite small, and the drinks were on the pricey side. However, with Christmas approaching, we did see some really nice bottles of wine. Overall, I would definitely consider using this venue again."

"We did enjoy the food at FB. Some dishes were more creative than others, but all were very well executed and presented. Cocktails are creative and well made. A lot of people have been moaning about the size of the dishes. I don’t share their opinion. It is made clear that the dishes are meant like Tapas and the staff recommend three dishes per person. We had three dishes each and were very well filled. Prices, at £6-11 per dish, are perfectly fair for London and the quality. Service seemed a bit confused at first, but turned out well throughout the evening. The room is modern in a stylish Soho kind of way if a little dark and doesn’t really inspire me to linger. I didn’t like the plasticky quality of the tables and the cutlery being provided in a ‘tin’. Keep it stylish and don’t try to add touches that are too casual. We did have a good time at FB, but is it a keeper? In the light of strong competition in London FB would have to come up with some very interesting dishes to try in order to bring me back."

"Superb. The interior is sweet as you can see in all pictures. The service is wonderful, the staff is very attentive, friendly and understanding. The food is good and they are open to feedback. They gave good recommendations. They have their own toilets, which is beautiful, as the ladies' room of the Selfridges had a great queen. Would definitely recommend it. I went there alone at the Boxing Day, and they really made me feel like seeing and watching."

"My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Good Egg. The mezze dishes we ordered were full of flavour, in particular the pumpkin hummus and whipped feta with dill were outstanding. The pita was fluffy and lightly topped with za’atar and olive oil, whilst the pickle plate may not be to everyone’s liking but I couldn’t help but devour the dish! A must order from the small plates section was green falafel and zhoug which was served on a bed of creamy smooth tahini. I was not disappointed with my pomegranate margherita (an off the menu cocktail order), it was vibrant, refreshing and sweet. Whilst I would return for the amazing dishes, the service was appalling at Good Egg and a real let down. We frequently had to grab the attention of our waitress to order, they were inattentive and stand offish when we spoke to them. Sadly this makes coming back to the Good Egg unlikely as the overall service was far from hospitable."

"love this place! camino is located in a street that runs between the caledonian road and kings x road. it is in a rebuilt warehouse style building, with freestanding brickwork and wood floors and there is a reasonable outside space for the summer. it is a great meeting point and very practical around kings x if they are between draws or just want to hang there and read the time on Sunday afternoon. good choice of wein and beer, nice snack, Nibbly food and reasonable coffee. I really like it and have all the others I took here."

"During our visit to Edinburgh, we attempted to dine at this restaurant but were deeply disturbed by the behavior of one of the staff members. We didn't have a reservation and tried to walk in, but the waitress gave us an incredulous look as if we shouldn't have even asked without a booking. Being Asian and craving some familiar food after days of steak and hamburgers, we inquired about the wait time. The waitress responded with visible anger and disdain, telling us it would be at least an hour. What shocked us even more was her treatment of a food delivery person who came in to check on an order. She angrily shut the door in their face. We were left speechless by this lack of basic decency. While we understand the pressures of busy hours, treating people with respect should always be a priority."
