"The restaurant is in a hotel and did not look like the photos. It was nonetheless quite nice (we went to the bar area as the traditional restaurant looked very much like a typical hotel restaurant). The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the food was good (burgers pasta). It was a little on the pricey side but not too bad and really nice quality. The wines were very expensive with the house bottles being at £37.50. The house white was particularly nice though. We shared a large tasty cheese cake. I'm not sure I would go there again because I have travelled a lot and try and avoid hotels but it is a good place."

"Who knew there was an outdoor ski lodge just behind the British Museum?? The Montague had done a fantastic job of recreating a covered bar and informal dining area in their patio area and it was great fun! The menu set up was different to what was described on TT there was no set price anything which made it more expensive than expected but also more flexible as two of our group ended up not drinking. The two choices of fondue were delicious and the tasting platter looked amazing. Service was really friendlyalthough there were times when the bar was unattended so we had to wait for more drinks etc but that was minor as the staff had really got into the spirit and made it a really great experience. I'll definitely be returning next year"

"We visited the Princess Victoria today for the first time as recommended by friends. We live locally but had never been. When we walked in we thought it seemed lovely and not as ‘old man pubby’ as we had thought from the outside. We sat down and it took about half an hour before anybody came to us and we needed to ask them to take our order. We ordered 2 beef and 2 pork roasts and some meals for the kids. The kids meal said it was £5 on the menu we were given but on the bill it was £8. We then questioned it and they brought another menu with the £8 amount written on it. We must’ve been given an old menu but they denied it and refused to change the price. I’ve just looked on the menu on the website and it says £5! We were also charged for extra Yorkshire puddings and gravy even though we didn’t order them. Turns out they don’t come with the pork but we weren’t told that and never ordered them (we just said we wanted 2x beef and 2x pork! . The roast came out and while they looked great, there was a really burnt taste throughout, possibly from the gravy because it was on every mouthful. We found the overall service to be terrible. Only 2 drinks that were ordered arrived and they only drank those two because nobody came to ask if we wanted more. We questioned the Yorkshire pudding charge and the fact that the child’s meal was priced differently and they reluctantly removed the Yorkshire puddings but the manager fought it and wasn’t polite. She also insulted my husband for having nail polish on (a left over from Halloween… but rude of her none the less Overall a very disappointing experience.The only polite member of staff was a girl who had just started there as she said it was her first day. We don’t go out a lot so feeling like this was a total wasted special treat. Definitely wouldn’t recommend."

"Total failure to meet Indigo’s basic promise of pre theater meal. We booked this restaurant from the US specifically because of its promise of its pre theatre special menu and service. We relied on their local knowledge and advise and booked at 6 for a 7:30 curtain . We Arrived at 6:05 delayed by an misdirected Uber) and seated promptly and ordered the simplest pre theatre menu after we confirmed our theatre plans and need for extra time as slow walkers. They confirmed no issues. Food and drink was fine but no time to eat as the entree arrived 10 minutes before our required departure time. If you can’t meet your promise, don’t promise. Totally failed."
