"The reason this isn't one star is Shona the waitress who deserves better than this graveyard of a restaurant. Food was absolutely the lowest quality stuff I've ever encountered. We ordered steaks that were fatty, tough and terribly cooked (not seasoned, cooked at too low a temperature) the ploughman's sharer is basically stuff from Tesco's warmed up and served with the cheapest sort of bread. We'd have brought it up but frankly it's clear your chef can't do better so what's the point. Oh, we ordered pulled pork that wasn't. I suspect it was leftovers. Not sure the chef knows what pulled pork is. Another thing while we're at it, the other guy who bought our wine didn't even bother to open it. The place had four tables on a Saturday night, and one of them was complaining about the food to the staff all night. Maybe the reason this is the emptiest restaurant in Lichfield is because it has an old fashioned menu and quality that would shame a Wetherspoons. Will never return ."

"Slightly disappointed, Nice enough over all though. Food was good but nothing amazing, which was disappointing after the good reviews I had heard about the place. Portions were a good size, and the family liked the Sunday Roast. The service was very slow, and not the best. Servers never offered us water at the start of the meal, were slow to come back and offer us more drinks throughout the meal, and forgot to bring drinks over that we ordered too. This let the whole experience down Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger, Chicken Fillet Burger, Battered Haddock Chips, Buttermilk Chicken Burger, Dirty Fries Parking space: Plenty of parking"

"Tasty Pre Theatre Deal. Another rainy Friday night in London found me hooking up with my old pal Bernard at the Two Chairmen in Westminster for a couple of pints of the excellent Deuchars while we waited for B and the lovely Mrs Mitton to join us. As ever the pub was filled with a motley crew of 'suits ', in fine Friday night form, from the various government offices in the neighbourhood and by the time we left at around 6pm the pub was heaving.<br/ <br/ The venue for dinner had been the subject of much email traffic during the week and the suggestions had ranged far and wide both in terms of location and cuisine. As we only too rarely have the chance to get together we were after something a bit sophisticated but still conducive to a good natter and at a reasonable price. So it was that we alighted on the Soho branch of the Hix empire.<br/ <br/ Situated behind a heavy wooden door on a busy Brewer Street you have the choice of making your way downstairs to the basement bar or entering the light and airy restaurant on your left. The bar was buzzing and packed to the rafters so, as we had just made it in time to catch the end of the pre-theatre deal, three courses for £19.50, we quickly settled ourselves down at our nicely presented and reasonably spacious round table.<br/ <br/ It 's a well laid out, stylish room with plenty of space between you and your fellow diners. A long bar runs almost the length of one side of the room with some striking artistic installations hanging from the ceiling above which all add to a rather restrained but appealing sense of theatre. I particularly liked the stuffed seagull suspended within neon circles and the mobile made up of a variety of fish set within glass bricks.<br/ <br/ It 's a popular place, I would definitely recommend booking well in advance, and by 7.30pm the room had reached full capacity. However, unlike many other dining rooms I have experienced recently, I was struck by the excellent acoustics and how easy it was to carry on a conversation despite a very cheerful and chatty crowd.<br/ <br/ We kicked off with a fine bottle of Bellarosa Prosecco, and some tap water, while we had a quick glance at the menu. The pre-theatre selection is not going to detain you long as it 's a choice from two for each course but in a way that 's no bad thing.<br/ <br/ The boys had the lamb 's kidneys served on a bed on bramley apple purée. Cooked rare these little beauties were soft to the touch and had a distinct but subtle flavour which was well complemented by the slightly sharp fruit. The ladies had the selection of beets with goats curd and walnuts which got murmurings of approval and seemed to go down very well.<br/ <br/ We moved on to a reasonably priced bottle of Bodegas Airen which was an ideal companion to the smoked haddock which sat on a bed of buttery colcannon surrounded by a sea of creamy sauce, and topped with a perfectly poached egg. Beautifully cooked and full of flavour this was a tasty piece of fish and was presented simply but effectively. Bernard had the rib eye steak which he proclaimed to be cooked 'just right ' and suitably beefy. I liked the nice touch of serving it with an accompaniment of three tiny selections of mustard on a small tray. A man who likes his frites Bernard had ordered some chips in addition to his crispy potato 'strings ' which were gratefully shared amongst the table and again hit the spot.<br/ <br/ The dark chocolate mousse for dessert was a very decent size portion and was particularly toothsome without falling into the typical mousse trap of being too sweet or rich. Mrs Mitton 's 'pixie ' apple pie was anything but small and was declared to be a proper job and full of fruit, gaining the accolade of 'best shortcrust pastry I 've ever tasted '.<br/ <br/ As ever it was the digestifs that began to bump up the bill despite our restraint in sticking to the pre- theatre menu. However, it 's the little details that count and I thoroughly enjoyed my glass of Poire Williams and Bernard declared himself well satisfied with his Martel.<br/ <br/ All things considered we thought this was a very good dining experience, in lovely surroundings, with great company and at a reasonable price. However, looking at the standard menu I 'm not so sure I would have felt the same if I had gone 'off piste ' as the prices did seem a little steep for what was on offer (the fish fingers, chips and mushy peas will set you back £16 and that 's the cheapest offering).<br/ <br/ We had another quick look at the quirky, clubby bar, which had thinned out considerably by 9pm. With its bar billiard table and tasty selection of bar snacks it looked very appealing and we decided to add it to our 'must try out ' list. It was then time to head back into the Soho night and send the Mittons on their merry way back to Cambridge.<br/ <br/ Job well done Mr Hix!!"

"I recently went back to my favorite restaurant to celebrate my birthday with a friend. We started with the smoked salmon appetizer, followed by a delicious steak diane and a huge rump steak. The highlight was the amazing pfeffersteak that was so tender, my knife cut through it effortlessly. The restaurant displays their price menus and opening hours at the entrance on Whitefriargate. The friendly atmosphere and good food make this restaurant a must-visit. The silver service adds a personal touch to the dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for a fantastic meal."

"However, the fries were disappointing—some were very dark and even burnt, clearly overcooked—and the onion rings were very bland. As others have mentioned, the small amount of sauce you get for £4.95 is quite ridiculous! The desserts were mostly decent, although I ordered a tarte tatin and what I received was just a dry slice of apple on a piece of dry puff pastry. The atmosphere in the restaurant was not great either. While the staff was polite, they seemed lacking in enthusiasm and were just going through the motions. We've visited Porterhouse several times in the past and used to enjoy it, but we feel the quality of food and overall value has declined significantly. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll be returning."

"Arrived on time and greeted warmly as a regular. Seated 10 minutes before asked for a drink. Not keen on being called Guys . Order taken after some delay, waitress a little blunt and disinterested. Long wait for bread and olives.. big wait for mains..hadn 't even ordered starters! Mains eventually came 45 minutes after sitting down. My steak was blue (see pic) when I wanted medium rare.. Lamb chops with broad beans and peas came with...no broadbeans or peas. Shame we had to ask why they weren 't there! A gesture was made to adjust the bill and this was accepted but you know.. I really wanted to pay for what we expected. This is supposed to be pretty high end and frankly it was rubbish. Gent at the next table sent his food back.. something not right here and it needs someone to have a hard look at how it works and the standards to be set for the high prices charged"

"I skipped the starter and went straight to the main course. I have been to this restaurant a few times before and always left satisfied with the food and service. However, on this particular evening, my meal was disappointing. The service was reflected in the small tip I left on the table. The steak lacked flavor and seasoning, as did the vegetables. The potato dish was overly peppery, indicating that it may have been reheated from Saturday. The dessert, which was listed as the pudding menu, came with canned strawberries and an unidentified green substance. There was no cheese option available. Overall, the meal was very average to poor on this occasion."

My husband was really impressed with his roast dinner too. The staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely family meal out we’ll definitely be back soon"

"Staff very young and inexperienced . We were three quarters of the way through our food before we received a check back by who I assumed was the manager, when I said I was disappointed with my Stilton sauce as there was no Stilton in it at all he really didn’t care. Asked if I wanted another but why would I. No apology or offer of anything in recompense . Been a couple of times and not been impressed by service or food. Will not be returning"

"I booked a table at the Percy Arms for a lunchtime family gathering and I was so pleased I did. The food was excellent with generous portions, flavourful and beautifully presented. The service was fast, efficient and polite. We could not have asked for more. Two members of our party had to cancel last minute due to ill health and this was accommodated with no problem at all. In fact, communication throughout the booking was immediate and helpful, which was reassuring for me as I was travelling all the way from Scotland and did not know what to expect. I will be returning next year and I will look forward to dining at the Percy Arms again."

"we have booked this food after eating in the coal shed in brighton, was absolutely amazing 10/10 I recommend. the london filiale does not disappoint. what we have ordered: 4 cocktails 2 people sharing on Sunday roast 2 chocolate brews with pfirsichen of sunday roast was just as good as the in brighton (best description: the sirloin steak was definitiw the best I ever had, the throning the ram in hammersmith, and massive overpower marco pierre steakhouse, which we had recently as a high-time present. the brat is served in a gigantic cast iron pan with honey glazed carrots, bark meat dripping bratkartoffels, the bark meat and yorkshire puddings on the top, and then 2 small pots of flower cheese and butter (? kohl, and we got 2 pots of gravy that were a different waitress presentation rare! the brownies were perfect, I hate when brownies are served piping hot with ice and it just melts really fast and they don't have enough ice here, it was warm, the ice was great and they had enough to make the brownie also beautiful and chew. the poached birne was a nice supplement, they don't get it everywhere and is a bit of a palette cleaner between bites. the cocktails were small, but well made and not watered, full of taste. I can't remember what I had, but one was pretty fruity and the other was a puddle and ginger taste. the personal was really nice, we didn't feel upset or put under pressure, nor did we even feel abandoned, just the right amount of service! our meal was about £117 with service fee, definitiw it worth. can not recommend enough!"

"We had to send one dish back! Delicious food but had to deduct stars for the cutlery not being polished there were dishwasher marks left on all of them, and the special of the noodles was very sour. I must say to their credit they replaced the dish quickly and without fuss so I 've increased my rating to four stars. Our friend is used to Asian food and eats it on a regular basis and he said the noodles were definitely off. Other customers were questioning the flavour but the chef was saying that it was correct. We feel the flavour profile was not balanced. Maybe too much lime juice was added to the miso? The steaks and mixed grills however were perfect. The ribeye cut like a knife through butter. The meat was so tender. Even the grilled herb tomatoes were so ripe and delicious. The chips were near perfect crunchy crispy and fluffy on the inside. They soaked up the vinegar perfectly which cut through the oil of the chips. Altogether a marriage of barbecue flavours that go together perfectly. We had the local IPA and a cider which paired perfectly with the meals. The restaurant was busy with local regulars and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Every request we made was met with a courteous no problem reply. Service was impeccable. The desserts for those in our party who could manage them were also delicious. There was a Mars bar Cheesecake and a kinder bueno tart which was dense chocolate. Highly recommended if you still have room after your main course! (I didn 't!"

"The appetisers and steak were spot on. Unfortunately they ran out of the size of Chateaubriand we had wanted but the KC sirloin and the fillet were cooked and seasoned perfectly. We started with Loch Fyne oysters (amazing! which came with a scorchingly delicious scotch bonnet chilli, scallops with pork belly (incredible!! and steak tartare. The steak tartare had a lot of capers which was a bit overpowering but putting that aside, overall very good. Only real disappointment was the sides. Triple cooked chips were greasy and not crispy. Triple cooked chips can be superb but these were disappointing. Savoy cabbage with pancetta was alright but could have been so much more delicious. A bit of a creamy mess is the best way I can describe it. Finally, the grilled asparagus was soggy and the (hollandaise? sauce was not very good. The sauces for the steak were also a little bland. We tried the blue cheese and peppercorn sauces. Having said all that we would defo go back. Maybe give the sides another try but the steak alone was worth the visit and we would call ahead to make sure we had a chateaubriand waiting for us next time. Oh, and the ambiance was top notch! Felt like we were at a chic big city restaurant. Very sophisticated. Can’t wait for the bar area to open up again. We could only drink at the table which was not the end of the world."

"The food in here is unbelievable, and I’ve ate all over Scotland. This is up here with the best ever, my food was to die for. The service is first class and the food is cooked and presented in front of you at the hatch. You can see how much the presentation means to the chef. Special mention to Claire, who makes you feel welcome, with a nice big smile as soon as you walk in, as do all the staff. I called in late 9.10 pm and they gave me a seat right away. The best phone call I ever made. If you are up this way pop in you won’t regret it. Amazing food I can’t find one fault in any of it, tremendous, don’t go past it, if I could I would give it 10 stars."

"I had the lamb which was cooked perfectly. The chips were cold with no heat at all and this was the same for all of us. The chips may have been lovely hot, but cold they certainly weren 't. Perhaps we should have sent them back but there were six of us and I don 't think we could have stood the wait of six meals being brought up to temperature. The broccoli was also cold (but this isn 't such a problem for broccoli). The peppers were good, the sauce indifferent. Dessert was a brownie with an intenesely tart passionfruit coulis. In itself it was fine, but to my taste didn 't go with the brownie at all and actively fought against it. On top of this was a mousse whose flavour I 'd call 'sweet ' (I think it was supposed to be chocolate). On top of this were some pieces of honeycomb which didn 't add (or take away) anything. A dessert which while not actively unpleasant, I 'd never want to eat again. I 've been in chain restaurants like Cote or Cafe Rouge where they make a rich, satisfying choclate fondant I 'd much, much rather have a competent dessert than one which tries too hard and fails. I didn 't have a starter as I usually struggle with three courses and sides. I had the main, shared two sides and had a dessert and, when I left, was still hungry. For £40 plus wine this was an expensive disappointment. Six diners, four not happy with the meal, and haven 't discussed it with the other two."

"I heard many good things about grazing before I booked a table. because of its popularity, it is not always easy to book a table. but I managed to secure an early escalation to celebrate my and the jubilee of my partner last week. I have nothing but good things to say about the whole experience. when we went through the door, the woman who greeted us and showed us on our table was nice and friendly. with such a warm welcome we were already a good start. down, we had a few minutes to check our environment in the converted Victorian warehouse that restaurant calls home. it is a beautiful, bright and airy room, especially on a sunny day with the sun flowing through the windows. it was not long ago before another nice worker, francesca, order our drinks and food. In view of the high customer service we had already received, we expected that eating is incredible and we were not disappointed. we ordered some sourded bread to blow before the main course, which was delicious. as brotfiend I could have eaten more! at the main course and when that was a steakhouse, it was a simple choice. we were incredibly impressed by the quality of eating. the filetsteak I had was tender and cooked for perfection. my partner was equally impressed by her. We love desserts so that we were not too full to give them an attempt. we chose the chocolate dome and the cocos and lime parfait. the presentation was excellent and both desserts were delicious. if they have never gedinted before, I highly recommend it. it may be our place if we celebrate a special occasion. many thanks to the team at weide for such a wonderful evening. and a special scream at our beautiful server francesca, for so friendly and attentive. large eating, accompanied by great customer service, summarizes the experience of the grazing for us. we are coming back in definitiw!"

"We went for a small family gathering and its the first time we visited this local restaurant. First impression wasn't satisfactory as we kept waiting while the table was getting ready though we booked it for 12.15 ! However, when comes to food, we initially recommended that we will have chicken platter with rice or chips which we believed will work out bit cheaper but a guy called Jamal recommended platter for everyone and we relied on him, stupid me ! Jamal provided us Saute Combo which was £39.95, prawn saute £18.70, mutton chop £31.90, two 1.5 ltd water £9.90 and the total for 10 people was £241.10 ! he charged us by providing food was not recommended. I was disappointed as the food wasn't delicious as we expected and we end up paying more than enough money we planned by listening to Jamal. I would say i will never go back again and with much cheaper price i can get better food elsewhere. i felt like i was ripped off completely."

"Came here this evening, ordered the loaded nachoes which were amazing, loaded with chicken, cheese and dips. Partner ordered steak medium rare, the steak was so tender I didn't need a steak knife, just melted in your mouth. We had some cocktails too which were really good. Staff were lovely and really attentive nothing was not too much trouble. Would definitely go again, only rated a 4 as I would have liked a window seat, we will mention this on our next booking, as the views onto the town are lovely."

"Turned up at a very quiet point on a Wednesday, only customers in there at there. Atmosphere was well lit and warm, felt incredible in the booth. Staff was extremely friendly and very great at the job, food took proper time to come out, not too quickly so you'd think it was bad and not too long where you'd be concerned, was spot on timing. We ordered 2 steaks and they were absolutely phenomenal, protein was cooked perfectly as we requested and perfectly seasoned, the sides were very nicely done, not a single bit was left on our plates. Desert was fantastic too and very lovely. Our entire experience in this place was absolute perfection, gave our compliments to the chef who was delighted, perfect way to spend our 2 year anniversary, made the night perfect. Thank you so much, can't wait to come back! (Also very reasonably priced for the quality!"

"I visited fargos a few months ago and their New York strip steak was one of the best steaks I have tried however upon my return I was left very disappointed. I hyped the steak up to my wife and unfortunately they let me down. We ordered fire wings to start which were over fried the coating was hard and cracked when you bit into it. I’m terms of flavour they were not as hot as the description would lead you to believe. Now on to the streak easily 30% of the steak was gristle and quality of the meat had declined compared to my previous visit my wife’s steak was similar both were requested as medium rare and were cooked accordingly. Service it self was good at the end they asked how the food was in which I provided my honest assessment I received a generic “sorry” at the very least I would of liked the staff to say they would look into the issue and ensure they identify the problem whether it was a poor cut of meat or just poor quality control in the kitchen So to summarise I wouldn’t come again to a place that doesn’t take criticism seriously."
