"Genuinely one of my favourite high end restaurants! AMAZING food…great entertainment and very good atmosphere. Food is not halal but they have vegetarian and fish options available and they do serve mocktail as well as cocktails and alcohol here. Be aware that food arrives as it is cooked so there is no order as to how the food comes out. There is limited parking around the area so please bare that in mind if you plan to drive, otherwise Uber is a good alternative. The interior is so elegantly designed and the staff are welcoming (most of the time), there is a cloak room for your coats and items, just ask a waiter! The speedy wait time on food is definitely a plus! I highly recommend this restaurant, although please be advised it does get much louder in the evening after 10.30 so not very ideal after this point if you want to have serious conversations. Also note they have a reduced menu after 11.30pm. Fridays and Saturdays are very busy so I have noticed the quality of service drops a bit in comparison to the other days and I have encountered unfriendly stuff at the door especially during my last visit hence the rating. I found this upsetting because as I mentioned previously it is one of my favourite food places and appreciate the quality of food served. They have a live band/DJ in the evenings."

"The resturant offers an incredible dining experience with an atmosphere that’s perfect for dinner. The restaurant is always bustling, so booking is definitely required. While the waiters could be friendlier, the food more than makes up for it. The grilled fish (variety of freshly catch of the day fish) and oysters are absolute must-tries, served fresh and bursting with flavor. The mixed platter of oysters, featuring both local and international varieties, is outstanding, and the salads are equally impressive. Seared Scallops is the comeback dish, dont miss it. Despite the crowd and service, the overall experience is fantastic and well worth a visit."

"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."

"Revisited old firm favourite after COVID enforced break. Atmosphere and decor still great but service completely off. Welcome very mediocre. Food service shockingly slow. Arrived at ordered promptly, anti-pasta served after mins wait. Mains didn't turn up until after (having had to...chase twice). One of my guests had to leave promptly at (not unreasonable for a lunch) which led to a rushed finish. Worst of all, the waiter filled our wine glasses to the brim, finished the bottle and then immediately asked if we wanted another. Crass in the extreme. I might expect that at Spoons, but not Daphne's. To top it all off, my mushroom risotto (normally a reliable stalwart) was quite bland. Come on Daphne's, you need to do better."

"eating is good. the service was friendly and they were good to make a photo. on the website, however, they advertise a 3 tapas deal for 12.50 we came to see a sign outside 3 tapas deal for 14.50, I was not amused. the waitress then apparently had no warning about the deal and went to check. offer for 14.50 good, I notice that the deal was online in the choice anyway. we order, generally enjoy eating and get the bill. the deal was not taken into account. the waiter says we should have let the waitress know. that upset me when I'm pretty sure she asked him to. there was only approx. 5.75 and had to choose 2 dishes from the sections. I have already recommended this restaurant on another page, but this experience has upset me. they need to change their website and educate their personal."

"Booked this for a nice long casual lunch before going to the theater. What a gem!! The ambiance was great, chilled and low key. we ate here on a Saturday early afternoon, but it soon filled up and had a queue out of the door waiting to be seated. This is the rustic Italian version of tapas Food was amazing with good portions and enough for 3 to share. Our waiter advised on what would comfortably serve 3 or if we should think about 2 portions.. We found so many wonderful dishes that we couldn 't possibly order and we ended up with a whole veggie selection. As a confirmed meat eater I can say I didn 't feel underwhelmed or unsatisfied. The chickpea 'meat ' balls are to die for (as is the chocolate salami..don 't ask just try it.. trust me! Service was friendly and informative with details on number of dishes to order, and ingredients given with a smile....and we asked a lot of questions....a lot! This has been added as a favourite and no longer will Bella Pasta or Pizza Express (or similar chain restaurants be getting my money now i know this little spot exists."

"However, I want to note that Niku reached out to me to discuss my concerns, and the representative I spoke with was very understanding. It turns out that the door staff were not the usual team, and I was assured they won't be hired for future events. It's important for venues to remember that their door staff reflect their reputation, and they should be careful about who they choose to hire. Overall, my experience was disappointing, with a price tag of over £100 per person for food, service, and atmosphere all rating a 1 out of 5."

"Newly opened we were warmly welcomed and shown to an excellent table in the window area. First impression was the tables are well spaced so private discussion is easily achieved. The menu concentrates on fish although meat dishes are available. There were 5 of us dining and we were treated to some superb cooking with not a single complaint from my normally critical colleagues who ordered a variety of dishes. All the fish, whether Bream, Sea Bass or Giant Prawns were cooked to perfection. Atmosphere was muted as, having just opened to the public, it is not widely known yet. This will change as the standard of cooking and service were outstanding and I would unhesitatingly recommend it."

"During our trip to Japan last year, we dined at Kiri and were thoroughly impressed by the authentic flavors. The restaurant's label as an Izakaya primarily reflected its ambience and decor, rather than its menu. However, this was insignificant as the food was exceptional. We opted for the tasting menu with Sake Pairing, which was priced at a reasonable £60 per person. We were elated by this fantastic discovery and are eager to return for another memorable dining experience."

"We had a fantastic family meal where we opted for the tasting menu with wine pairing for a special birthday celebration. The chef accommodated gluten free requirements by adapting the scotch egg dish and the pasta dish...we did phone a few days in advance...and also adjusted the wines for one of our party who preferred white wine. The food quality and service was amazing. It is a pricey but worth it. We will definitely be back."

"A delicious lunch accompanied by an excellent range of saké. The butter fish, yellow tail and smoked eel were particularly good, as was the wagyu beef."

"My friends and I did not even get the opportunity to enjoy our evening at Polpo due to poor response and terrible communication by the management team. 20 mums from my son’s nursery were all looking forward to an evening of food, drinks and conversation at Polpo. We called Polpo a month in advance, and spoke to someone who said they would be happy to host our gathering and would send a confirmation e-mail, menu and deposit form. We never received that e-mail. We called again two weeks later, and a third time a week after that... still, we could not get anyone from the Polpo team to send a confirmatory e-mail to us. We had to move the venue for our mums’ evening out because we had no confidence in the booking, which I think is a terrible reflection on and a real shame for Polpo. In this economy, one would think they would be pleased to host a group of 20 local mums who might do some free marketing for them via word-of-mouth recommendations. Instead, they have disappointed all of us, and they have lost a piece of significant business. None of which is good for their reputation."

"This is not only one of the best sushi experiences in London, it is one of the best in the western world possibly excluding Norway. The precision of the chefs is a delight to watch. The quality of the fish is as high as London’s best. At the same time, the ambience of the place is plain and humble and no order is too small or too simple. Please don’t make the mistake of asking for a salmon and tuna combo with a California roll. You can get that from Wasabi or Itsu or M&S. Instead, stretch your limits and explore the seared butterfish and foie gras, or the chopped yellowtail with homemade truffle mayonnaise. The best option of all is to let the chef decide: Omakase sushi (9 piece), and prepare for a taste explosion. Don’t worry, carb avoiders, there won’t be too much rice. If you want a dressed up, glamorous, first date, fusion experience, go to one of the famous name restaurants and enjoy. But if you want an awesome yet down to earth, precision crafted, anniversary after anniversary sushi experience, this is your place."

"The service at this restaurant is very professional yet kind. The food is delicious and the dishes are served in a way that is not rushed, allowing for a relaxed dining experience. Additionally, there was live music (piano/singing) that added to the beautiful ambiance. Definitely worth the price!"

"the food was fresh and delicious. the personal was friendly and was very helpful in the selection of food. I would recommend choosing as a group and having the full tapas experience, a bit of everyone. vegi wise there was a lot of choice and I would also recommend the chocolate salami!"

"Above average price, above average food, way beyond average portion s. I loved the pub and the vibe. Two main rooms one for family dining and one for pints and sports. Awesome food, some of the best tasting things I've had this side of the pandemic. Portions are huge, the lamb shank for example could feed 2 or 3 comfortably. The sides are delicious. Thoroughly recommend. Somewhat eclectic pint choices, but it has Leffe on draft Been in London for a long time and I've never seen that Belgian vibes."

"The service at this restaurant was incredibly pleasant and attentive, with a very nice atmosphere. However, there were some errors in the timing of the courses, as we received our entrees along with our appetizers despite specific instructions. The octopus was delicious with bold flavors, but the other dishes were disappointing. The gnocchi was bland, the steak tartare was too tomato-heavy, and the lobster and crab tortellini had a thick, fishy filling. The salmon was overcooked, and the halibut was overwhelmed by the mushroom sauce. The souffle cakes were hard, with a berry puree in the middle. It seems that our experience was not typical, as other recent reviews have praised the same dishes."
