"came here before a performance in the royal albert hall, a little early before our booking, but that was 't a problem and we sat immediately. service was a little slow to order, but eating was great! starters were chicken pliers and the popcorn garnel that was delicious. then we both got the bacon cheese smokehouse burger, which was also delicious. not too big, where you can't even hold it, great chips and beautiful 'schlaue. the BBQ sauce on the table was also delicious. tables very close together and busy atmosphere and she added a 12.5% service fee, which was somewhat annoying, but overall, a great experience, would return."

"We were disappointed with The Woodman which has, in the past, always been so so good. Firstly, we were told that we hadn’t booked an outdoor table despite showing the actual booking which confirmed that we did; the outside table that we were given/dumped on couldn’t have been smaller and wobbled whilst we sat and watched couples we were three being given huge tables for four. Eventually, we took it upon ourselves to move to a bigger table and were seen at our new table very quickly. The lemonade brought to my daughter turned out to be soda water; eventually she was brought a tiny bottle of Fever Tree as they had run out of lemonade ! which she couldn’t drink as it’s not really aimed at 11 year olds. My first two choices of Main Dish were unavailable, my third choice “meh” but the kids enjoyed their burgers very much. The pub was busy as it was a nice, sunny Sunday as well as Father’s Day and staff seemed totally run off their feet but trying to make eye contact with them meant that we waited longer for the bill than we did for the food."

"if they are looking for somewhere to dinate with a group of friends, family or even their partner, then sticks n sushi won't give them up. this location is absolutely beautiful and in beautiful canary wharf. the decor and layout of the restaurant is simple yet aesthetically appealing. many options to choose from in the menu and I am sure that everything you choose will be satisfied. we enjoyed everything from edamame and calamari to sushi and scallops. we have the hot cataific (scallops.) they were crispy on the outside and yet soft and tasty on the inside. the scallops themselves tasted very fresh and the aromas of this selection worked very well together. we recommend this very much! the staff was fantastic and very helpful when it came to order. they are very well informed about the menu and gave some good recommendations!"

"I paid £9.50 for truffle fries at this restaurant. They had cheap parmesan sprinkled on top and were served cold, with a heavy oil taste from being double fried. The chicken was decent, although it was a bit overcooked. The only good thing about the meal was the salsa verde, which I suspect was store-bought. The mushroom rigatoni had plenty of mushrooms but was overall bland and overcooked, lacking any sort of sauce to hold it together. It was like eating mushroom soup with pasta. The dishes were all garnished with cheap, not very fresh pea shoots. The tempura asparagus was disappointing and overpriced, with all three pieces I had containing the tough, inedible ends of the asparagus. The tempura batter was dense and chewy, likely because they attempted to make it themselves. The cocktails were also underwhelming. The French hostess/waitress was lovely and accommodating, but the manager seemed completely out of touch and lost."

"I often visit this coffee shop in the industrial area, and the staff are always friendly, polite, and customer-focused. They even remember my usual drink, a matcha latte, and make it perfectly every time. The coffee shop is clean and has a great atmosphere. I give them five stars."

"Food was good albeit small portions but the quality good and the ambience lovely. However I really cannot understand how a restaurant like this thinks its acceptable to service room temperature white wine, waiter said it will cool down quickly in an ice bucket but then put ice cubes in a bucket with no water and we put ice cubes in the wine to chill down. Only the final glasses were correctly chilled and then thought ok to try to charge the whole bill with 13.5% service. They just need to consider what its like being a customer. Otherwise a good meal and lovely restaurant."

"Happy Hour from 5 to 7:30. We have frequented this bar many times over the years for the monthly music quiz and always enjoyed ourselves. On this particular visit, we arrived around 6:45 for the 7:30 quiz start time. We ordered a couple of beers and cocktails for my daughters, taking advantage of the Happy Hour specials. However, we were informed by the bartender that Happy Hour did not apply to quiz participants. Despite there being no mention of this exception on posters or in the menus, we were told we would have to pay full price. This seemed like a ridiculous rule and left us with a negative impression of the bar's attitude. Fortunately, my brother-in-law was able to get the drinks at half price by claiming he was not there for the quiz. In the future, guests should be aware of any hidden rules and the venue should clarify their policies."

" in together. The chicken satay arrived first, it was lukewarm and lacked flavor. The pomelo salad came shortly after, and was underwhelming in taste and portion size. The bill came and I was shocked at how much I had paid for such mediocre food. Overall, not a great experience."

"visits with a buy a gift voucher, which allows us to make two three meals from a set menu. we waited 5 minutes or so on a Sunday night when there were no more than 10 people in the restaurant. we also needed a gluten-free version of the set menu, which meant that we had to use the website to crossmatch what was included in the set menu to see what was gf. we had to order via the website. we asked a server about ordering gluten free and they had no idea how we should do that. the food was excellent and the portions were generous for a set menu. the main issue came with the bill. we presented the voucher and we were then notified to the voucher only a set menu. not what the credit card said and we were asked to pay the rest. the server came back a few times to ask us to pay and then talked to a colleague. they have worked out that the order by the website, coupled with the gluten free options not considered, it was a set menu order. it would have been better if the personal used the old-fashioned ordering method that tends to work better. especially in the nutritional requirements. it was solved, but we were made to feel like we were wrong. my advice would be if they have a good license, ask to order personally to avoid frustration. the food was excellent."

"Two minutes from Kentish Town station is the new branch of Joe’s Southern Kitchen Bar. Having walked past its Covent Garden branch, I always made a mental note to visit it. But as the London food scene keeps on expanding, so does my list of restaurants/cafes/popups to visit To celebrate the opening of Joe’s in Kentish Town and to showcase Executive Chef Trevor Tobin (Steam Rye, The Big Easy and Goodman) and his team’s culinary finesse in the kitchen, we were invited down for the press night. Whilst we had a large corner table, the place was quite busy for 6:30PM in the evening as it was also open to the general public. Hence, you can tell whether the restaurant is genuinely...read more"

"This restaurant is dishonest and unreliable! We ordered food for two people but a dish was missing. When we called to report the issue, they said they would send another driver with the missing item. After 45 minutes, they claimed the driver was on the way and promised a refund. When we called again 15 minutes later, a different person answered and had no idea what we were talking about. There was no driver en route! They promised to investigate and call us back, but we never heard from them. They still owe us money for the undelivered food! Steer clear of this place!"

"I have always been a big fan of the Beatles and I used to collect special edition records and books that they had released in the 1970 's. So I dropped into this splendid theme café. 'Can 't buy me love ' was playing on the music player and it reminded me that I had just mentioned the single music track Online. I had a brief chat with the friendly staff about the foresightedness of Lennon and McCartney 's music. I was very impressed with this café which had its own unique Beatles themed menu and a memorabilia shop next door full of posters,T shirts, gifts etc"

"Went for a family dinner at Rosa’s Thai restaurant London and sad to say what a disappointment it was For starters the waiter made a complete mess of explaining the set meal which was advertised outside the place and were even given menus for the set meal We placed our order for drinks and when we were about to order we were told that we could not as one of our parties was not having a set meal (there were 6 of us So we then ordered from the main menu The drinks that we ordered took forever to come despite reminding staff about them a number of times The starter arrived but we had no plates/cutlery/serviettes and again had to ask the staff member The drinks finally arrived after the starters Just to say that bar (looks like make shift which is located next to the kitchen downstairs was very dirty and so was the gents toilet which were also located downstairs The positive point from The visit was the food was good but the overall service was very very poor to say the least To top this we were overcharged on the bill and has to inform the waiter on this issue I would be coming here in a hurry To the management suggest you re train some of your staff on customer services"

The ambiance is stunning, with seating under a majestic blossom tree. Despite feeling like a high-end dining experience, the friendly staff make it approachable and welcoming."

"if they think of iconic institutions in london, the ivy is second to none; periode. embedded in a quiet corner of the covent garden, it serves and delights londons westward since 1916. Exactly, 1916! to put this in perspective, since the call of the service on its first teller, Great Britain has seen 4 monarchs, 23 minister presidents and the top film was 20,000 ligas under the sea '. It is certainly the case that each court is served with a side of the story and to enter into its stolen dining room is like a step back in the time that is just stunning. modernizes but still keep all the classic decoration accumulated over the decades; and the menu has also followed suit. in the connection to the footsteps of so many before us, we visited the ivy in this night for a late dinner after the conclusion of a show that starts for a meal with popcorn shrimp then on the nets of spaghetti with atlantic prawns, chili and wild garlic and the grilled thunfish. as they would expect, eating was divine and lived up to his call. the popcorn garnels were so addicted, I could have eaten again and again that all night, although it would have been a scandal to pamper my appetit in front of the tuna that was excellent. the spaghetti, as simple as it sounds, was romantic in its simpleness and so fragrant; I'd like to eat it again. to round the food was a classic dessert from apfelteertetin; a befitting ended with a classic evening. if you were with the ivy, I hope you agree with me that this place must be one. it is now an institution and so much more than a meal; it's an experience."

"We have been coming here for years but our recent experience was terrible. Service was appalling, they were not busy in the restaurant but very busy with take aways. We arrived at 7pm and left at 8.35 having only had a starter platter in that time. We waited almost an hour for our main course to arrive and then gave up and left. They still presented the full bill to us despite our dissatisfaction and when we complained they took only £5 off it. Wine took ages to arrive as did starters, as did water. They also took 15 mins to tell us they were now out of house white wine. Didn’t offer an alternative for the same price. The management here is clearly an issue, they also need to decide in the kitchen where their priorities lie. Diners or take away! We will not be going back anytime soon as we left hungry and went to another restaurant nearby. I hope you take this review seriously and take actions to ensure no one else has to sit though a similar experience"
