"dear diary, this time our trip to england was a mix of work and vacation. at many days we had to hurry for meeting in various cities and had to get the trains and because we are so punctual (not), we had hardly any time to eat before we arrived in the train. that is when we arrived at the railway station leon over leon and then realized that they have a chain of restaurants throughout the city. her motto is a healthy almost food and they live totally on it. for the breakfast menu, their bacon egg rolls are the most delicious! and for their daily menu they have a whole series of salads and hot crates. we had the chargrilled chicken chilli hot box, Moroccan meatballs hotbox and the chicken and chorizo club hotbox- all these were super delish! So if they are the next time on the go, they know where they are going!"

"After receiving confirmation from OpenTable with the code 822102241, my wife and I arrived at the restaurant last night at 7:20. Despite our reservation, we were told we did not have a booking. After refusing to sit at a coffee table in the lounge, the manager was able to find us a table in the restaurant and offered us a complimentary drink to salvage the situation. However, our troubles did not end there. When we ordered the beef, we were not asked how we wanted it cooked and had to send it back because it was too rare. Our dessert took 30 minutes to arrive, prompting us to ask the staff if there was an issue. Finally, my wife had to ask for a glass of wine 15 minutes after initially requesting it. Despite some minor issues, we were still charged an additional 10% for the lackluster service. We have been patrons of this restaurant for over 20 years, both as a couple and in larger groups. However, after last night's experience, we are unlikely to return. In recent years, there have been new establishments in the area that offer comparable or even superior service. Last night's service at the restaurant was truly disappointing for what should have been a special occasion."

"The Albion Cafe is located behind the Tate Modern. This is a great find, it's both a shop selling an interesting selection of food and drink products (including Hampers and a lovely selection of baked goods) and a Cafe. On this visit I just ordered coffee and a piece of cake, but do plan to return to try more from the menu, as the coffee which came in a cute coffee pot was excellent and the Victoria sponge with it's delicious buttercream filling was just perfect, shop brought cake is never this good, it was like the very best of home baking. The service was also very efficient and professional, which I guess is no surprise as the Albion Cafe is part of the Conran Group."

"My husband ordered the vegan homemade melanzane, and it was delicious. I ordered the vegan spaghetti napolitana. It was on the bland side, but still quite good. There was a little bit of olive oil in it and it added a nice flavor. I also had the spicy garden salad, which was very flavorful. The staff was very helpful and very willing to accommodate me and make suggestions for me with my allergies. We went a second time because we were looking for some place close to where we were staying. We had the high protein salad, which contained chickpeas, red beans, olives, and mixed greens tossed with tahini and lemon juice. We also ordered the side of guacamole, which came with pickled jalapenos, sliced cherry tomatoes, small chunks of tomato, and tortilla chips. Both were delicious.

"We booked for a birthday brunch on a Sunday for 6. The place was full and we had to wait 10 mins for the table we had booked at 11. Once seated it was another 15 mins until our order was taken. 15 mins then until our drinks arrived and another 5 until the food showed up. Clearly massively understaffed and delays were not the staff’s fault although when we asked for something some fresh boiling water for the teapot and some more maple syrup we had to remind twice until they arrived. The bill took a full 15 minutes. Why do owners put staff and customers under stress only allow booking where your staff can cope? I was minded to remove the obligatory service charge but did not want to make a scene. As we had booked for brunch, we were expecting the normal things you would find on a brunch menu. There they were on the menu .. so we ordered only to be told: no sausages, no black pudding, no avocado, no French toast and, very strangely, no fried eggs but we could have poached or scrambled eggs! The food was OK except the bacon which was flabby, fatty streaky bacon that was only just cooked and not good quality. Guests at every table had left theirs on the side of the plate. For a restaurant claiming to serve an American style brunch, this was massively underwhelming. In short, we will not return and I strongly recommend that all reading this give this place a miss. There are plenty of much better places in Notting Hill."

"The Brasserie is a lovely decorated restaurant that played smooth jazz throughout our visit. As a birthday meal out, we were excited to try somewhere new in town. The first waiter was prompt at taking our drinks order, but barely apologised at the lack of gas (so no draught ales) and didn 't know too much about the bottled beers. Two couples order the charcuterie boards. The ciabatta bread was toasted and sharp, so it didn 't make for a pleasant bite. It snapped rather than crunched... And the rocket wasn 't dressed, so we were eating dry leaves. After this, the second waiter came to apologise that there wasn 't any creamy polenta to accompany the main, wild mushroom ragu, so he offered mashed potato or rice. When this meal turned up, there wasn 't any of the vegan cheese or rocket, which was also supposed to accompany the meal. What a waste of money, knowing that vegan cheese can be fairly costly. Nobody came to ask the party if the food was alright. We weren 't seen to for a good 30 minutes, despite being the only people in the restaurant. As well as the ragu, the steak dishes were underwhelming as well, even these salads weren 't dressed. Dry leaves make for a sad meal. We are sorely disappointed as we were really looking forward to the food here. The waiting staff were pleasant but didn 't have the experience or training that they really needed. A memorable moment: What 's the cheesecake of the day? Oh, it 's JUST the new york cheesecake. Just vanilla. Don 't undersell your food! Just vanilla is still great!"

"I visited Allium to pick up two pizzas to go, and the entire experience was a disaster from beginning to end. Although the restaurant was empty, I had to wait about 30 minutes only to be informed that they had no pizza boxes for takeout. Instead, I was offered the option to carry the pizzas on plates down the street. So, we opted to dine in. Honestly, I think frozen pizzas from Iceland would have been a better choice; they were awful. The crust was as hard as cardboard—probably frozen beforehand—with just some extra cheese thrown on top. This definitely doesn't reflect the quality of a top chef!"

"My husband and I went to the Goring restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We found it to have more of a hotel restaurant feel, with a stuffy atmosphere. We started with cocktails in the bar, which took about 20 minutes to arrive. My spritzer was watery and rose-flavored. Our starter was tasty but small - be aware that when they say "Orkney scallop," they mean one scallop for £24. We then waited another 20 minutes for our main courses to arrive, by which time we were quite hungry. The guineafowl and lamb main courses were very good. The service was okay, but not exceptional. Our main issue was with the sommelier, who seemed uninterested and focused more on pairing a red wine with my husband's lamb rather than finding a good match for my guineafowl. We chose a Chassagne Montrachet, which was disappointingly thin and served chilled. We had to ask the sommelier to take it out of the ice bucket. When we mentioned our disappointment with the wine, we were told that it was as it should be. We felt like we were being pressured to accept the wine as is. Overall, this meal won't be one that we remember fondly."

"We popped here after work to grab a quick bite. The burger looked good so we went with that. The beef came out a bit overcooked and the chips were undercooked. We constantly saw the waitresses bring food out then take it back to the kitchen again which puts me on the back foot for their ability to customise your food. Hard to recommend, but on the plus side they do accept the tastecard"

"just an occasional Saturday evening out, but we were made warmly welcome. Service was excellent and the food tasty and as described. We really enjoyed our cocktails and did not feel rushed as the food came at reasonable intervals. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant. It's also really nice to be able to use Tesco points don't feel we have to economise on the drinks when the food is paid for with vouchers and it was so easy to organise."

"A group of 5 of us had early dinner prior to attending the boxing at the Millennium Stadium. The staff are always very friendly and efficient and we were seated immediately as we had booked in advance. The only concern was that my fillet steak was not as requested, it was medium to well done instead of medium rare. This was rectified but the others had finished eating their main course by the time mine arrived. My steak was perfectly cooked and everything else was freshly served too. The manager came to say that there would be no charge for the steak and also we were given a free bottle of the excellent Rioja Crianza. I was very impressed by the no quibble promptness which left a very good impression on us all. Thank you."

"We've been going to the Cafe Rouge for years and were thrilled that we were early enough for breakfast. We're going in front of a football match, when the bacon was completely cold, we had no time to return it and reheat it. On the other hand, the mushroom cooked hot. The waitress was forgotten and we had to remind her at least half a dozen times about forgotten requests. Eg we wanted brown sauce, in the end I got up and collected it, or our breakfast would have been colder. Large employees change over the last few weeks and they are all a bit under-trained and not as efficient as before."

"This was a very disappointing experience. The food was one of the worst Tapas meals we have ever eaten. The Patatas Bravas were un cooked. The Chorizo we actually sent back as it was cold and not cooked. The mushrooms were cold, bland and lacking any flavour or spices. The Tortilla was stale. We paid the 50 pounds and left most of the food un touched on the table. What was even more disappointing and frankly bizarre was the fact that that nobody even commented or asked about why we had not eaten any of the food. Terrible customer service and lack of awareness. We will not be returning."

"I had an amazing experience with the customer service at this restaurant! There was a mix-up with my burger order, but the staff quickly sorted it out and brought me the correct one. The manager even came over to apologize and let me know it would just take a few minutes. Our waitress was also fantastic. The burger itself was delicious, and with my UNiDAYS 50% discount, the manager took an additional £5 off. I've never encountered such excellent customer service in England (I'm an American student studying here), and I was truly impressed. Thank you, Cafe Rouge!"

"A very bad experience. The starter on the mixed menu wasn't avalible which I can understand but should have been seen as for warning. I got a mocktini as usually they are quite nice at other places however at this restaurant they were almost completely soda. My steak was not edable. I swallowed one bite with difficulty and had to spit out the other two attempts into a napkin. I did not attempt the others. The chips were quite obviously frozen and very much like the ones from a supermarket. When my plate was taken no comment and question was made at the rather dismal state of my plate. I will say this, the mango sorbet was delicious. It was only during my desert I was able to comment on the steak frites and while I was given a small discount on that I plate, I felt that either the whole price of the dishl should have been comped or a new one should have been offered. At this point I was rather done with the restaurant and wanted to leave only to see the service charge of 3.90 and an additional charge of tap water (that I hadn't even asked for). Definatley would not reccomend as while the staff themselves were nice enough, the food was truly terrible."

"We had a very nice evening at Cafe Rouge Ruislip. The food was delicious and they had everything that was on the menu. The staff were very attentive without becoming a nuisance and nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere was lovely, friendly but not too loud. We were able to chat and catch up with our friends without having to shout. We did have a voucher which made the meal good value. Would definitely recommend."
