L'assaggino

➤ 9 Paved Court, London I-TW9 1LZ, United Kingdom

Vegan • Italian • European • Vegetarian

"L'assaggino Richmond is a relatively small family run restaurant with a small menu of Italian dishes. It is on two levels with a relatively small upstairs area. Although it is small, the chat can be relatively noisy and isn't helped by the wooden floor. A quirky feature was all the side plates were different The food was truly delicious with pasta dishes featuring homemade pasta. There were seven in my group and we were all impressed. The tiramasu was also delicious. The whole experience was topped by nice red and white wines. Service was friendly, welcoming and efficient. A slight down side is that there seemed to be only one unisex toilet for the whole restaurant."

Trader Vic's - London

➤ 22 Park Lane London, W1K 1BE, United Kingdom

Steak • Chinese • American • Hawaiian

"We booked this for my birthday dinner and could not fault it. From when we arrived and throughout the night the staff were very welcoming and could not do enough for you, especially OJ. The food was excellent and very tasty and very well presented. We also enjoyed the huge range of cocktails available and entertainment. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and would definitely recommend and will be going back shorty. Also, as it was my birthday, they presented me with a birthday dessert plate, was very spoilt, thank you. Whether going for just a drink or a meal this is the place to go."

Prix Fixe Brasserie

➤ 39 Dean Street Soho London, W1D 4PU, United Kingdom

Steak • French • European • Brasseries

"Came here for an early birthday celebration with my friends on a Friday night. I had made a reservation beforehand but it was very empty when I walked in so it wasn't needed. There were 4 of us and we decided to order a couple starters to share so we could try different things. One of my friends is vegetarian so we went with the trio cheese croquettes and then the grilled mussels. Both were really nice, but I wish the garlic butter sauce for the mussels could be stronger. The mussels also weren't the most fresh but tbh I wasn't surprised since central London isn't known for seafood and for the price it was what it was. For mains, I went for the Entrecote steak with fries. I loved the garlic butter that came with it and the refreshing salad on the side. The steak was a little too rare for my liking even though I asked for medium so I couldn't finish it but the portion was huge for its price. The fries were a little soggy and didn't taste freshly fried so it was slightly disappointing. My friends went for the sea bass, duck breast and cauliflower steak which were all really good apparently so that balanced out with my main I suppose. Service was great. One of my friends made a special request with the staff for my birthday and they came sing a birthday song for me with the desserts we ordered which was lovely. For desserts, we went with the raspberry crème brulee, affogato with vanilla ice cream and the apple tarte tartin also with vanilla ice cream. All were really good and we all agreed that the apple tarte tartin was the best of them 3 because the apple was rich and the pie was well-made and went well with the ice cream. Overall, I had a great time with my friends there as we stayed for 4 hours and we didn't get kicked out at all since it was so empty! I would be happy to come back soon and try other things on the menu."

Ginza St. James's

➤ 15 Bury Street, SW1Y 6AL, London, United Kingdom

Full • Asian • Seafood • Japanese

"I never write reviews, but for ginza I just have to: I took my partner for her birthday and the moment when we arrived, it was a fantastic experience. Although the restaurant was very busy and we were not able to have the regular table that I originally booked, the staff gave us the choice, either on the Teppanyaki counter or the Robata, which I thought was a lot to sit on the standard. the food and the drinks were from this world. we ordered some starters and sushi from the a la carte menu to start and then we ordered some items from the teppanyaki and robata menu. also the chef on the Teppanyaki counter this evening (27/11/21) was extremely friendly and attentive. he was very tight and we have the feeling that he had extra time and effort in our dishes. he even personally brought the dishes on our table and was extremely informative in the description of the dishes. finally our server, richard, would not have been a better host. he was attentive, friendly and remembered all the complicated details. he combined each individual asspect of the service and transformed an already fabulous meal into an unforgettable culinary experience. he engaged in charming talk and made sure that we felt like we were the only customers there. I will definitely come back and spread the word to my friends."

Plate

➤ 151-157 City Road, London, United Kingdom

Fish • Coffee • Cheese • Chicken

"Plate Restaurant in Old Street at M by the Montcalm Hotel offers top notch dining in a relaxed and modern setting. Although there is a ground floor bar and cafe in the hotel, my tip would be to head straight on up to the restaurant on the second floor. Here you can sit in the sleek glass fronted building, watching the hustle and bustle go by. Owner and Chef Director Arnaud Stevens has previously worked with the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Jason Atherton and Richard Corrigan. With that experience, Plate restaurant in Old Street is bound to be something special. A particular highlight of my visit were the signature Plate cocktails – designed by the bar’s own mixologists. These amazing cocktails are worth visiting for alone! My absolute favourite was the Naked Negroni – light, summery and refreshing, this cocktail was very drinkable! The staff were knowledgeable and attentive – they definitely knew the menu inside out, as they came up with spot on recommendations for me. I had the Plate signature bread flight to start, which is an absolute must if you visit this restaurant. The trio of warm, freshly baked breads were outstanding with the accompanying trio of whipped butters. The mushroom brioche was so light and flavoursome (not an overpowering taste of mushroom) and the onion whipped butter with crispy shallots on top was stunning. For mains, we had the Parmesan gnocchi with sprouting broccoli, almond puree and elderflower dressing and the Rump of lamb, with tomato fondue, anchovy, basil dressing and charred gem lettuce. If you are hungry, I would suggest getting a side to accompany your main. The buttered green beans were a great accompaniment to the lamb. Although the portions are not huge at Plate restaurant, the well balanced dishes were spot on to allow you to enjoy three courses and not feel utterly stuffed. This is particularly helpful, as saying no to desert here is not an option. This desert menu will appeal to anyone with a sweet tooth. I tried the Valrhona caramel chocolate mousse, with pain perdu, hazelnuts and passion fruit. This beautifully presented pudding didn’t leave you stuffed, as the passion fruit cut through the mousse and brioche perfectly. I was reliably informed that the British menu with a French twist is frequently changing to match the latest seasonal produce available. The relaxed, but smart setting, stands this restaurant apart from your average hotel restaurant. Whether you pop in for just a cocktail, or a three course meal, Plate Restaurant at M by the Montcalm is definitely worth a visit."

"Have literally just visited and loved it so much I've immediately come here to write a reciew. Hard work deserves recogniton. I've had a couple of awful visits to places really so what a pleasant surprise to arrive and be greeted by some of the most attentive staff I've experienced in a long time! Couldn't do enough to accommodate and make us feel welcome. Checked in regularly, so that we always had what we needed. Lovely venue, cool covered garden out back, perfect for a couple of drinks (highly recommend the spiced margaritas and some tacos (Taco Tuesdays is a good time to go! Can't wait to return!"

The Real Greek

"My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, thanks to the lovely waitress named Olesia. I was fascinated by the flowers in the Greek mountain teapot, and she made extra effort to find these tea flowers for me and even gave me some to take home. While I asked other waiters and waitresses about the flowers in the tea, Olesia was the only one who paid attention and provided exceptional customer service based on my interest. The food was deliciously prepared, and I highly recommend trying the taramasalata here as well!"

Heritage Restaurant And Bar

➤ United Kingdom, L2 7LA, Liverpool

Steak • Grill • Spanish • Italian

"Our experience at Heritage was disappointing. The food was underwhelming no more special than what I could have made at home and portions are small for the price, even considering it 's small plates . e.g. the pan fried seabass literally one fillet of seabass, no garnish or sauce or anything, with the skin not even crispy, for £9. Hot chicken wings just seemed to be caked in chilli paste, not much flavour, only heat. The taste of the beef burger reminded me of a cheap burger from a van but for a whopping £10, not including fries! Thank god we went during the 50% off all food in January offer, otherwise I would be feeling thoroughly ripped off. The service was poor. Tables around us took over an hour to be cleared after customers left, which made the ambience unpleasant. Staff did not check on us during our meal, or ask if we wanted sauces etc. Staff were more interested in chatting to their friends than providing good service. Cocktails were nice but that won 't be enough to bring us back to an establishment that really doesn 't put any care or love into their food."

Harvester Ghillies Lair

Food • British • European • Cocktail

"I met up with two friends at the restaurant and had a wonderful time catching up over food and drinks. Everything surpassed our expectations. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the excellent service provided by the staff. The restaurant even offers a free salad bar if you order a main course, although the portions are already quite generous. The attentive staff made sure that everything was to our liking without being overly intrusive. Overall, our experience was outstanding and we will definitely be returning in the future."

Browns Brasserie

➤ 1 George Square, EH8 9JZ, Glasgow City, United Kingdom

Steak • British • European • T-bone Steak

"We visit Miller and Carter often but fancied a small change and opted for Browns which we believe to be within the same chain. We arrived promptly at 6:30 on a Friday evening, the restaurant was not busy yet staff shied away from us, leaving us waiting to be taken to our table. Despite the quiet restaurant we were sat at quite possibly the smallest table in the building. We ordered water and a bottle of wine, neither of which was poured or to allow us to taste (which is common courtesy in M&C)! We had the chateaubriand which was lovely perhaps erring on the side on medium when we ordered medium rare. We did not receive a check back and throughout the evening had to top up our own wine. We ordered dessert which was fine but once finished our server spent 10 minutes flirting with a table of women my partner had to walk over to the desk to ask another waiter to print our bill! We then felt rushed out the door. Nobody asked whether we enjoyed our evening and to be honest I wouldn’t have paid the service charge and wouldn’t be returning based on the very very poor service."

Foley's

➤ 23 Foley St, Regents Park and Marylebone W1W 6DU, W1W 6DY, London, United Kingdom

Chinese • Chicken • Japanese • Pad Thai

"the cocktail (benito, I think it was called) was fabulous! eating was very nice, I liked the ginger squid. I have rated it in the average, it takes into account the views of my hospitable who don't think much about the pad thai or the banans dessert. I would not recommend pudding, but otherwise a beautiful meal."

The Willow

➤ 16 The Triangle, Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom

Steak • European • Vegetarian • Contemporary

"We booked a table at The Willow for a birthday celebration and it didn 't disappoint. We were initially intrigued by the restaurant 's website and the range of food it offered and we were curious to see if it lived up to its promise. On arrival we were greeted and taken to our table all the tables were beautifully set out and the lighting was soft and ambient. Each table had a lily in a little vase and coupled with the shining glass and silverware and the unobtrusive music in the background, the impression was very positive and welcoming. Excellent first impressions! I ordered brill in a black squid ink batter, pea shoots and sweet potato fries and my wife, a vegan, ordered a Rainbow Salad and Falafel burger with sourdough bun and sweet potato fries. Both meals were of a very high quality: the fish was expertly cooked, fresh and delicious and the batter was remarkable and delectable. It was a revelation to us both to try sweet potato fries a first. They were delicious and very moreish and we will definitely be having them again. My wife was very taken with the Rainbow Salad and asked to see the ingredients for future reference. The Manager willingly showed us the restaurant book where we were able to see colour photos of all the dishes and their ingredients and any allergens and dietary information. For dessert my wife had a B Raw raspberry cheesecake (made with coconut) and on finding out that it was her birthday, the chef wrote 'Happy Birthday ' in dark chocolate sauce across the plate a really lovely touch! I had Almond and Chocolate Dome with raspberry ice cream: delicious too. All in all we had a wonderful, relaxed and enjoyable meal at The Willow. We will definitely be returning to sample more of the dishes on their extensive menu. There is something for everybody at The Willow: meat eaters, fish eaters, vegetarians and vegans are amply catered for and their philosophy of food is encouraging and to be recommended. Thank you very much!"

"The positives: the owner/chef gave us a taster slice of the jamon; the waiter was cute. The Damon tasted nice and the cheese was tasty The negatives: deadly slow service, gaps of about 30 minutes between being given portions of food (all of it cold, nothing was cooked... ; tiny portions of patron peppers and tortilla £5 a slice and absolutely nothing memorable about it I grew up in Uk and make a better tortilla myself cheese selection 4x slices each of 3 different cheeses, cost £12 (that's £1 per small slice of cheese ; had to ASK for bread and got 4 small slices of almost stale bread between 3 of us...when asked for more the waiter grumbled and pointed to the dried up remnants of bread sticks in a small pot on the table... had to ASK for oil/baslamic vinegar (they didn't offer butter or oil with the bread...just the 4 stale slices on a plate..... the vinegar tasted rank; small glass of Tempranillo wine £8.50 totally overpriced for a tapas bar in a market; waiter was apparently unable to split the bill 3 ways and took ages to work out how to divide it; table placed at the arse end of the market away from everyone else...service took ages, we got the ham first then the cheese about 30 minutes later and had to ask about 40 minutes after that for the rest of the food as I think they forgot about us."

Tajima-Tei

Tea • Fish • Soup • Beer

"this small, family-run Japanese restaurant is a hidden gem. the service is imperfect, but very polite to add the charm of the place. the menu is relatiw classic with taking some scrub rolls. one is the house roll (educated), which contains a lot of fish and is quite large cut. the actual excerpt was the horse mackerel sashimi (figurative). beautifully presented and extremely fresh and delicious! I would recommend this place to anyone who is close to the opposite and wants a high-quality No-Frills Japanese meal."
