"I remember when I was younger the idea of eating raw fish seemed quite strange and at that time it wasn’t hugely popular in the UK but in my late teens eventually sushi boxes started to take the place of sandwiches, Yo! Sushi became a regular haunt and I started to fall in love with Japanese food. My sister was my partner is sushi-crime and we loved the fun of the Japanese ‘Kaiten’ and sharing selection boxes from Marks Spencer and other high street places. But soon our fondness for sushi rolls meant we wanted to try the real deal. Back then there wasn’t the plethora of sushi restaurants in London that there is now but we set our sights on the very best…Nobu, Old Park Lane. Once there we clumsily held our chopsticks and we feasted on the freshest succulent sashimi, marvellous maki rolls and crisp shrimp tempura.And then the black cod arrived, the delicious flesh of the fish marinated in miso, had a sweet, buttery taste on the tongues of us young sushi novices…it was incredible…that was it…we were hooked. I’ve now revisited Nobu Old Park Lane many times, always remembering it was the first time I ever had proper sushi…But Nobu has become a bit of an addiction for me and not only do I also love the Berkeley Street branch in London but I’ve actually visited Nobu restaurants on four different continents. My favourite being Nobu Malibu, a beautiful open restaurant where you can sit nibbling on edamame beans whilst taking in a stunning view of the ocean."

"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"

"Booked Koji for a date night, same day 30/08/23 but when I arrived the restaurant was closed, no notice online at all said it was closed even Google said it was open usual hours somehow it was actually booked for 06/09/23 which I don’t understand how but ok I’ll take partial blame for that, so we unfortunately had to go to eat somewhere else which was fine but I had tried to call the restaurant to cancel my reservation on multiple days didn’t get no answer so I thought nothing of it (you can book online but can’t cancel online even by text they tell you that) so I was then charged £70 on 10/09/23 for I guess missing my booking? Which also online it says nothing about charges for missing reservations. I find this extremely distasteful considering I had tried multiple times to cancel my reservation, was told online that the restaurant was open when it clearly wasn’t was somehow forced to book a date I definitely didn’t wish to attend (I still don’t see how as the dates are completely different and would be easily noticeable whilst booking that it was the wrong date) extremely poor online booking service considering and I’d say £70 is a lot just for a reservation (which I had tried to cancel with no success) complete money grab, I’ll take slight blame for booking the wrong date but definitely a terrible service as they gave me no chance to cancel mislead me saying the restaurant was open on a day it wasn’t which was a waste of time and money as we had come from Streatham just to try Koji"

"On the main road as you head out of Marlow to the East. There is a public car park opposite that you can park. The restaurant is small, well decorated, subdued lighting. The team are professional, polite and attend to every need and request. Everything is clean and tidy. The food is amazing. Portions are not huge, but more than ample is you have a set menu (lunchtime). There is a significant list of beverages to meet anyones tastes and wallet. We even asked for a desert to take home. We are already planning another trip very soon the food was so good. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"It's no secret that I love Japanese food. And even less of a secret is my fondness for a good cocktail. So put the two together and I'm a very happy girl. Koji which ticks both these boxes in Parsons Green, seems to be a bit of a secret.... I'd never heard of it until researching sake cocktails for a piece I wrote for Time Out, but when they read my piece they invited me down to sample the cocktails and food in person. I went along with Lucy the night before heading to Tresco to do a weekend of pop ups, and we had the most delicious feast of delicate yet punchy Japanese food with punchy yet delicate cocktails!Koji have an ex Nobu chef in their kitchen and you can really tell there's someone who knows what they're doing there. Every dish was exquisite, and the whole experience heightened by being in such a gorgeous setting if you want to impress a date then head straight to Koji. We started with cocktails in the elegant bar area, which is lit by huge feather covered lights. When you go to Koji (which you really should if you're anything like me about good cocktails and Japanese food) order the lemongrass and chilli martini. The perfect balance of zesty and spicy it left our lips tingling in all the right ways. We didn't get round to trying it but the watermelon martini also sounds divine.The food at Koji is Japanese,with a modern twist. The menu's divided into snacks, hot and cold tapas, robata grill and various forms of sushi and sashimi. Being the good (greedy) reviewers that we are, we tried to sample something from each section. Starting with the most wonderful soft shell crab and asparagus summer roll. Light, fresh and expertly rolled it was a great start to what turned out to be a top notch meal."

"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."

"Really wonderful food presented beautifully Great atmosphere although a little noisy for hearing the details of all the dishes! Would have liked some more hot drink options for end of the meal and a choice of deserts on the set menu or mini ones of a a few of them in an ideal world but the savoury courses were amazing. Expensive but definitely worth it."

"Food was ok. Place was not what it looked liked on the photos. Depends on where you get seated. Either you sit at a very small table with not a nice view at all and dirty mirrors, or you sit at the area of the photos, which is nice. We were not sitting there, unfortunately. Service was good, but they tried to clean up our table two times, while we got our food for minutes and had not finished yet. Would only recommend to eat here, if you are already in Selfridges."

"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."

"Lovey setting with high ceilings, sunshine through the large windows and greenery hanging from the ceilings. Staff friendly and a nice continental spread. Unfortunately the staff don’t seem to communicate and we had at least four different people dealing with us. We ordered hot food and, having seen others who arrived after us getting theres, enquired after ours. Half an hour after ordering we received our eggs Benedict and eggs with avocado but both of us had one solid, overcooked poached egg. I complained and they bought another set but both still over cooked. Very disappointing."

"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 came to London with our 6 month old baby to celebrate our wedding anniversary and my husband’s birthday. We made a reservation few days in advance to celebrate. When we got to the restaurant, it was shut. We were not informed and no explanation was provided. It completely ruined our entire night. It was a Thursday night, middle of soho with a small baby in a pram, we walked around looking for a place to eat but could not get a table anywhere. We walked around for an hour until we were near death hungry and had to settle for a street side shawarma. Extremely disappointed and will never return to this place. I’m sure it will make no difference to them but it definitely ruined our night. A terrible experience that we will never forget. This would never happen in New York."

"I’ve been a fan of Aubaine for about 8 years, but I was a bit disappointed today. The menu was not inspiring. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad. The chicken was only lightly seasoned but very tender. I thought that would be ok because the Caesar sauce is made with salty anchovies and the “bite” would balance the bland chicken… except it wasn’t ! The sauce was also bland and apparently deconstructed as there were two small fillets of i assume anchovy under the chicken breast. But they were not salty anchovies, they were soused (in vinegar). So the dish really didn’t work. It was perfectly edible, but it wasn’t a Caesar salad, nor was it anything else. My guest is vegan and normally I would have kept her company, but there was only one vegan dish the same one I had two weeks before: stuffed aubergine. It was ok, but not amazing as aubergine is rather rich. In January we had a really delicious soup. That, I would have enjoyed again, but sadly there were no soups on offer today. The ambiance is very pleasant in the restaurant and our waiter was really excellent, so we had an enjoyable time, but I’ve had much better meals at Aubaine."

"Hi. I've been with my wife to both branches many times. This time I was taking a friend. I booked for 8.15pm. Before we were seated or looked at the menu, we were told we needed to order, as the kitchen was closing. Once seated, another waiter told us we needed to order everything we wanted to consume, as the kitchen was closing imminently. As soon as the lovely food was brought to the told, we were given the bill and told to pay, as the till was closing! Soon after 9.30pm (before 9.45pm can't remember exactly , we were told the restaurant was closing and time to leave! I'd recommend the food, but warn them about the service ;"

"great restaurant really enjoyed it we were adult. I tried the tomato cheese salad, chorizo, ham croquetas, patras brava as stater than had more ham croquetas they were really nice some funky kartoffels with a fried egg, some chorizo, type of bark boiled medium rare, black pudding and chickenskewers. I can't really blame the place where the food or service is. I loved the Spanish music in the background was surprised that it was not very busy. when entering the bar area has a safety ball and they have some decks on the side, which makes me think that Friday night the place is packed"

"Fantastic little sushi restaurant in Stockbridge with an absolutely amazing atmosphere, really recommend getting one of the sushi sets purely for the plate in the shape of a boat! My only gripe is that they don’t accept card payement, was a hassle finding a machine and then having to police how much we could spend there, really hope they offer a form of electronic payment in the future, And my only other gripe was the wine being served in a tumbler, took away a lot of the flavours of the wine, But regardless of these the fish was fresh and the gyoza delicious"
