Bar 190

➤ 190 Queen's Gate London, SW7 5EX, FSA Food H, United Kingdom

Tea • Juice • Cheese • British

"Worst value for money ever… It just seemed to be the right place for a special occasion dinner with my partner, after Prom 74 at The Royal Albert Hall. We went for the pre-set menu, 2 courses: starter main. Everything was pricey, but we were prepared to it, after all a brilliant location and a charming atmosphere come at a price… Yes, indeed, but not at that rip-off price! Pea soup, too green to be “traditional” and/or “natural” with a quenelle of white foam that I suppose is what they call “modern twist”. My partner ordered a so called “risotto” and let me say, as Italian, when I saw it, I had half a shock … My God what was that? Over-cooked/melted rice in a primordial soup… I couldn’t decide between laughing or crying. I was really pleased having ordered my 7 cm2 of pan-fried Haddock – served, again, with previously mentioned “twist”. What about the wine? Decent, indecently priced though: 30 pounds for 2 glasses… Definitely disappointing place. The worst value for money ever paid so far. And they even charge 15% for service… Never again."

Sushi Tokiya

➤ 74 Battaersea Rise London, SW11 1EH, United Kingdom

Sushi • Asian • Asiatic • Japanese

"I've been to this place so many times and it's been always amazing. We start with Special Sashimi, every single piece was perfect, really tasty. The best two ones were fatty tuna and scallops. After that Vegetable Gyoza and spicy scallop roll, then udon noodles. At the end green tea ice cream. During the dinner a bottle of Italian wine, Soave. It was very fresh and good. Service is the only thing that it could be better. Anyway this is the best Japanese I have ever tried. It's so close to the real Japanese. This restaurant is definitely recommended!"

Little Istanbul

➤ Nightingales Corner, Chiltern, United Kingdom

Fish • Meat • Turkish • Desserts

"first little isanbul the owners changed a few months back and is now called nar meze grill. the restaurant has a lift and the food and service are now excellent. this means that all previous reviews for little istanbul no longer apply, including some of the more negative comments. I had a late Sunday lunch with a friend, we enjoyed a very pleasant bottle of cooled pinot rose before they start to beginner and mains towering in. because we did not eat meat, we ordered dishes from the good vegetarian selection, but there is also a large selection of fish and meat. too full for a pudding."

"I absolutely love this place! The food is fantastic, and the sushi is delicious too. It's all-you-can-eat for two hours, which is amazing. Just be aware that you need to enjoy seafood to really appreciate it!"

R&M Italiano Restaurant

➤ 158 Parrock St Gravesend, Kent DA12 1ER, United Kingdom

"We both ordered Steak with was really chewy, everything else was spot on, really nice flavours, such a shame. I'd try it again because I think its worth another go, hopefully this time it will be more tender"

Tapas & Grill

➤ SAINT KATHARINE DOCKS EAST SMITHFIELD London, E1W 1AT, E1W 1LB, United Kingdom

Beer • Wine • Tapas • Spanish

"We came here on a rainy Sunday. It started off quiet but got a bit busier later. The music was a bit unusual; The decor looked a bit tired so we weren't expecting much but the food was actually very good. The salmon roulade was fantastic; Gambas were also cooked perfectly; decent cheese plate. Potatatas bravas could have been a larger portion and I have had better but they weren't bad at all, and last the Moroccan lamb chops were good quality meat and well cooked. Really enjoyed the food and the experiemce overall."

Ginza

➤ Wellingborough Road, Northampton, NN14DU, United Kingdom

"lso unique with options that I haven't seen at other Japanese restaurants. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes, which enhanced my dining experience. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place for a date night or a meal with friends. I highly recommend trying the sushi platter, it was fresh and delicious. Overall, a fantastic dining experience and I will definitely be returning."

Ruchetta

➤ 6 Rose St, Wokingham, Reading, United Kingdom

Wine • Steak • Pasta • Italian

"After many years, on recommendation of others, went to this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Whilst the food was excellent, the service was atrocious and totally ruined what should have a lovely night out on a very special occasion. Booked for and seated...promptly. Orders for aperitifs taken and drinks brought promptly. Order for wine taken, bottle brought and opened. Then it all went downhill. Waited for over minutes for our meal order to be taken and that only happened because I signalled to the girl behind the bar that I was getting unhappy. First course then took about minutes to arrive. However our main course took until to arrive. I have never ever waited minutes for a main course to arrive. It would not have been so bad if the staff had shown any interest or we had been able to grab hold of one to ask what was going on, they just seemed to totally ignore us! As mentioned earlier, the food, when it did arrive, was very good, it would have been even better if the side order of vegetables my wife had ordered had also arrived. We did ask what had happened to them but when we were told they had been overlooked, decided to just make do and share mine. To add insult to injury, while we were waiting we noticed that other couples were eating dishes that were not on the menu we had been given. I later found out that we were supposed to have been given a specials menu but this had also been overlooked. At the end, the manager was very apologetic and gave a cursory discount however this was not the point. It was a special occasion at a not inexpensive restaurant I would have preferred to pay the full price and not had a ruined evening. Needless to say, we will not be returning."

Artisans Of Sardinia

➤ 16 Lacy Rd, London, United Kingdom

Wine • Fish • Seafood • Italian

"The staff at this restaurant was delightful and the food was enjoyable. The wine was exceptional, but the desserts were just okay. The main letdown was the £16 seabass fillet, which was quite small and served on a large plate with only a few olives and sun-dried tomatoes."

Hyotan Japanese Food Hall

➤ 50 Margaret Street, London, United Kingdom

Food • Sushi • Ramen • Healthy

"The sushi rolls feature generously sized pieces of fish, and the prices are quite reasonable. The staff is friendly and provides excellent service. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy sushi in a casual atmosphere."

Nobu Shoreditch

➤ 10-50 Willow Street, London I-EC2A 4BH, United Kingdom

Sushi • Asian • Seafood • Peruvian

"I have been eating at Nobu since the first establishment opened in London over 20 years ago. We thought we would try the Shoreditch one . Food was as expected for the most part very good. What spoiled the experience was the constant hovering of the staff. Clearly form the moment we arrived they were on a mission to move us on. We understand the 2hr table policy but there is no need to hound customers to the point of whisking dishes away , whilst one party is eating,"

Umezushi

➤ 4 Mirabel Street, Manchester, M31PJ, United Kingdom

Fish • Sushi • Seafood • Italian

"The culinary experience here with my other half was exceptional in Umezushi. If you should come in the evening, a booking of a table would be recommended. Even if we have booked a table for 3 people online on the rigid booking system, we informed the staff on arrival that a person could not come and they said it was no problem. Service was professional, straight and informative. Although every table had customers; it was worth waiting because we knew our food was carefully prepared. Each piece of fish or seafood served was fresh and amazingly tasteful, no 'off' smell. The Otoro (Fatty part of Tuna) Nigiri just melts in our mouth and what a joy it was and the Tiger Prawn Uramaki. Then followed the 12 pieces sushi plate, which was amazingly prepared that each piece was only one of its own art. We paired our food with a simple green tea and the part of the fish was generous. Unfortunately, we cannot expect the price of our meal to be cheap, and this is the only Con. Would certainly recommend and go back for more."

Dieci Restaurant at No. Ten Manchester Street Hotel

➤ 10 Manchester Street London, W1U 4DG, United Kingdom

Beer • Wine • Indian • Italian

"If you think Italian food is your local Italian on the high street think again. Dieci introduces you to flavours, concepts and dishes that will transport you the fields of Tuscany, the cobbled streets of Florence and the terraces of Rome. Whether it’s the main menu or some of the smaller bites that are available, each dish is perfectly crafted and executed to the most exacting standards. You can tell that head chef Fabrizio pours his heart, soul and a lot of love into each dish. The innovative edge he brings to classic Italian ingredients is a joy to behold and each mouthful will send you to heaven. Parmesan churros, arrancini, carpaccio with tuna, Burrata with sun dried tomatoes, a goats cheese medallion these were just some of the delights we sampled. For mains, we had steak, with a sweet, rich and creamy peppercorn sauce. Dessert was sensational. Panna cotta, tiramisu, cheesecake and a chocolate fondant bathed in salted caramel sauce. Everything was simply perfection. This is Italian food taken to the next level. An artist who has mastered his craft. The settings are tranquil. If you fancy the perfect end to the experience, the attentive staff will take you to the cigar bar where you can sample the finest cigars in the city. The service is impeccable. Maurizio and Claudio made us feel extremely welcome and the attention to detail was evident throughout. Quality runs through the veins of this establishment and it is a must try for anyone looking to push the boat out for a special occasion. Could not fault any aspect of this visit. 11/10"

Chizuru Tei Haymarket

➤ 278 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EH38DT, EH3 8DT, United Kingdom

Sushi • Asian • Seafood • Japanese

"the best sushi ever in Great Britain! only cash we loouowwwve sushi, and of course here has a lot of delicious food in edinburgh. but this one I must say is not a doubt to be the best we have tried so far. environment: tiny, but the decor is beautiful. not so many sit, so they come better early or make them just a reservation. service: friendly! especially if they have ordered too much, they would try to stop them and ask them to order later after they have finished their first orders. the foods were very fresh and delicious. the price is acceptable. highly recommended, should everyone be checklist if they ever want to come to edinburgh. of course we come back again and again and again."

Spoken, Exmouth

➤ 43 Strand, EX8 1AL, Exmouth, United Kingdom

Kebab • Pizza • Mexican • European

"Thought we'd give it a try as we were having a pre Christmas break in Exmouth. Fantastic service from Emmer but poor value for money. Calamari starter £8.95, a very small portion Sea bass £18.95 which was good but advised to have a side dish with it which added another £4.55. Gorgonzola and Prosciutti pizza £16.95. Very expensive and not great. Peach and ginger soft drink £4.95 Poretti £6.95 a pint. This may explain why it was quiet just before Christmas, we noticed plenty of other restaurants in the town were busy with parties. We won't be returning, but have a lovely Christmas Emmer."

The Greek Larder

➤ 1 York Way, London N1C 4AS, United Kingdom

Wine • Greek • Coffee • Brunch

"After reading some reviews, we decided to try this restaurant for an evening meal. We ordered a selection of mezze dishes to share. The food looked appealing, but the portions were quite small, and the flavors were lacking. Everything tasted very bland, and it would have been nice to have salt and pepper available at the table. The octopus was tough and not enjoyable. We ordered eight dishes to share among three of us and still left feeling hungry. We spent £150 for three people but didn't leave very satisfied. The space is beautiful and has potential, but they really need to improve their food."

The Tapas Room

➤ Deptford Market Yard Unit 8, SE8 4BX, London, United Kingdom

Full • Wine • Tapas • Drinks

"This restaurant used to have great food, ambience, and delicious wine. Unfortunately, on this visit, the food fell short of expectations, with only the Hake standing out. The dishes were too salty and the chorizo was overly soggy. Despite these issues, we ate it because we were hungry. We were seated in a cold outdoor area without the heater on, which made us feel disconnected from the rest of the restaurant. Adding candles, heating, and music would make the atmosphere more inviting. Despite our disappointment, we will return because we like the staff, but we wanted to provide some constructive feedback. The server was friendly and the wine was enjoyable. The bill came to £80, which felt pricey given the environment."

Andromeda

➤ 87-88 Plender St, London, United Kingdom

Meat • Greek • European

"I have visited over 15 Greek restaurants in London, and Karavas definitely ranks in my top two. One of the standout features is the generous portion size of the meat meze, which is priced at £19."

Crown

➤ High Street Woodstock, Oxfordshire OX20 1TE, OX20 1TG, United Kingdom

Pubs • Cafés • Seafood • European

"Really good place for food, ambiance was wonderful, nice chilled out area and fairly spaced apart from other diners. Service could have been a lot better, we waited a whole hour after ordering for our bread and oil starter which is a ridiculously long amount of time. We were starving by this point. But the rest of the meal was good"

The Real Greek

➤ 2 Chestnut Plaza, Westfield Stratford City, Montfichet Road, London E20 1GL, London, E201GL, United Kingdom

Greek • Vegan • Vegetarian • Mediterranean

"I visited yesterday March 30 for a birthday meal with my family we sat on the top floor in restaurant the waitership was as bad as the weather outside, she served us, but her attitude was stinking I am not quite sure whether it could be wrong because of the color of our skin, or it could only not have them, no personality as those in the kitchen away from the tables because of their setting I really did not relax to enjoy my meal. but we had a bowl with sweet potato chips they were very dry, laeks crumble too much in the did it was so much I wanted for apple instead of laeks. beautiful salatsteak was done to order a thing missing from the ordering the cook came out that he would be very polite and beautiful with in a short time while he brought it to her table with a smile.then the bill comes to my surprise I would notice that she would pay £17 and some pence the service fee is, I would not have paid if the waitress was better"
