"The pre-theater set menu at this restaurant was very good, but unfortunately, our friend arrived at 6:32 and was told it was no longer available. Instead, he had to order a la carte, which resulted in him only getting a soup before going elsewhere for a sandwich. It would have been more profitable for the restaurant to offer the set menu. This was not a good customer experience and hopefully they will improve in the future."

"In 2016 the tea was splendid. This time it wasn’t. Both the gluten free and regular tea offerings were poor. My gluten free bread was dry and the few pastries were unimaginative. A bowl of berries, two pastries and three tiny scones, with a small pot of jam and clotted cream on a cake stand.The regular tea also had minimal choices. My expectations were high based on my previous visit. That time, the cake stand was full of delicious pastries and the service was superb. I mentioned this to our waiter when he asked if my visits were comparable. Our waiter was friendly, but didn’t offer to replenish our tea, forgot my wine and disappeared for at least 30 minutes towards the end. It was very disappointing, especially for a 5 star hotel. I do not recommend afternoon tea here and will not return."

"For fish lovers, cured or fresh, an ideal choice. The must have starter is a platter of cured salmon in a variety of ways, large enough for two share. The turbot which followed was cooked to perfection. For carnivores some interesting dishes and to finish a voice of English favourites. The wine selection is British and ours was very good and inexpensive. The menu is not long but there is sufficient selection to go back and not repeat your choices. It was a relatively quiet evening but the staff were attentive and caring. We were a party of four and all of us enjoyed the evening."

"The food was excellent, and the service was wonderful and efficient. However, the live singer was a bit too loud, making it difficult to have a conversation."

"It happened late on a Sunday night. We were greeted by the minute we arrived and assured that they were more than happy to put us for food, even the service came to an end. The food was really good quality, fresh and boiled well prepared... the waitress was top drawing, pleasant and polite. We did not feel disappointed in any way the delay of the hour. A pleasant atmosphere with a beautiful transverse breeze from the open windows in the porch style. All in all this little jewel ended our evening beautifully. Thank you."

"My partner and I went to La Piazetta on a Friday night for his birthday as we both love Italian food and previously had very good experiences there, however something has gone seriously downhill in the past year as we have had two bad experiences there now! The first of these two experiences the service was great however the food was not up to standard of what we have had previously however it was a busy Saturday night so we put it down to it being busy and just agreed it was fine however the experience we had on Friday the 20th of October was extremely bad! My partner has also been recently diagnosed with gluten and dairy intolerance which was mentioned on the booking we made. My partner had the Gamberoni Piccanti and I had the Fungghi Gorgonzola as starters, my starter was very nice however my partners was not as he had a maximum of 4-5 Prawns which to be honest was not worth £9.95 at all! For mains my partner had a gluten free vegan pizza with roasted vegetables and I had the Linguini Marinara and we were not happy at all! The pizza was burnt on one side and very pasty to the taste on the other edge, with minimal pizza sauce, a small handful of vegan cheese, 1 tiny bit of pepper, 2 slices of masserated aubergine and 2 small slices of half grilled courgette! My linguini was a pale of what I had previously when I ordered this dish! I had several empty mussel shells, 2 pieces of Squid and Prawns, and about 3 clams, but when I had this dish before it had almost double the amount of everything and tasted fresh instead of a sauce that tasted premade and a brought in product with a handful of herbs chucked in. I don 't know if the chef has changed or if they have had to drastically cut costs or what I have no idea however I would not recommend this place to anyone where before I would go away ranting and raving about this restaurant! We also did not recieve a checkback once while we were there! Nobody came to ask about our food or if everything was okay, this to me is a bad sign in a restaurant seeing as I work in the industry myself and know how food service in restaurants works. When we spoke to one of the servers about the meal she said she would speak to her manager and she didn 't come back with a resolution to the problem she just gave us the bill with the pizza removed which I requested. I would not recommend this place to anyone as it is currently stands because it has certainly fallen from grace and I do not believe me and my partner will be returning."

"This is a very new place so I’ve cut them some slack when it comes to certain issues with the service. I’m sure minor problems will be ironed out over time. The service we received was super attentive, polite and friendly, and they did really nice things like bring us syrups to try and a free cocktail. But the basics need to be perfected first before such extras can be appreciated, such as having someone available to greet and seat us upon arrival (the hostess was also waitressing, and for a little while seemed to be the only person there, so was rushed off her feet), and not being too OTT with constantly us pouring tap water (random thing to nitpick about but it did start to get annoying), and having staff visible to respond to us instead of us needing to call out loudly for them. The place is small, cosy and intimate which is why everyone there except my friends and I seemed to be on a date it’s a great date place! The food is lovely but a bit too expensive for what you get: you can get a meal at Roka for a similar cost and that would be so much more worthwhile. The food at D&D is good quality and beautifully prepared but not in the same league as those kind of restaurants, so it’s a bit too pricey for what you get. But then, we came starving and tried to have a full meal. Also, the vegetarian options were limited and were all mushroom dishes beyond the nibbles sections. Now that’s just laziness! Come for small bites when you’re not very hungry, drink creative and delicious cocktails, for a cosy time with your other half and this is a great place."

"Disappointing. We've eaten at Bumpkin (Westfield Stratford) previously. It's one of the few places there at which there is a pleasant atmosphere, a comfortable environment, and where the background noise is low enough to allow conversation at normal speech level. The food is unexceptional, but usually good. We were not in any hurry, but on this occasion the service was very slow and, if I thought it likely to be as poor as it was, I would be disinclined to return. I also thought that the cost of our meal was high in relation to the quality."

"Lovely food and atmosphere. Went here for lunch on the eat out to help out deal. I had the swordfish (waiter's recommendation) it was lovely. The veg and sauce tasted fresh and the fish cookery was very good. My girlfriend had the calzone and it was so massive that everyone else in the restaurant was commenting on how good and how big it looked. I tried a bit and it was excellent. Nice dough, plenty of filling and tasty tomato sauce. Service was quick. Portion sizes were large so go on an empty belly. Excellent value for money, will return and I will recommend to family and friends."

"First of all, I was amazed with their customer service. If anyone wants to learn how to treat customers then just go there shop. Now the food, Buffalo wings with that white sauce was extremely tasty, 5 star for it. We ordered initially 8 wings but due to taste and portion size we ordered another portion of 8, they are like nibbles not a proper wing so its a small portion. Vintage blue burger was quite big and heavy but tasty. Cajun Sweet potato fries was not bad it was a new experience for me however I didn't like the sauce. I didn't manage to finish the fries. Overall not a bad experience. But food quite warm and tasty."

"I went for pre show dinner and found it very convenient nearby the Lowry. There are roadworks just outside the hotel at present so it didn’t look great from the outside, but the interior is fresh and modern. Very comfortable dining and really lovely staff. The tapas was tasty and beautifully served. It made a nice change from the eateries close by to the theatre and was only a 12 minute walk along the canals- which was also very pleasant! I would go again."

"Lovely staff, we were well looked after. Amazing food, Tigelle were amazing, the meat platter as well which included a superb Parma Ham, felino salami and mortadella. We were really impressed of the atmosphere, we asked for a specific table and they provided us one. I really recommend and I look forward to coming again."

"I wish I could write a 0 star review the most ignorant customer service I have ever dealt with. Uber driver stole my pizza ok but the man I rang in the restaurant was beyond unhelpful he was so rude and so aggressive he didn’t care I never received my order because he was closing. I will never order from this restaurant again absolute ignorant customer service and I work in customer service myself so I know good customer service. Sort your staff out it’s a disgrace!!"

"Finally! The long neglected gents toilet has finally been refurbished – not completely, but enough that it is no longer the glaring reason not to recommend Bar Italia. I won’t comment any further on a problem that no longer exists other than to say that the refurb was probably 5 years overdue. Staff are great, food is great and a comprehensive choice of drinks. There used to be plenty of food promotions on weekday evenings weekends, sadly no longer but the food is good enough that I don’t mind paying full price. Pizzas in particular are prepared by the bar, so they tend to be fairly open to substituting ingredients extra spicy etc. They are now officially closed on Sundays which is a shame, but it was sufficiently quiet that it probably makes sense. Monday evenings can be a bit hit and miss"
"I want to love it, I really do, but, okay, let's get it back a little. my Italian bestie has moved sarf, yep, she left the perfectly good and accessible bethnal green to move over the river. to be fair, with a new born baby, I can't be mad at her and have visited the area for the second time, I dig the chilled village feeling of the opposite. it's great for a new mama and even quite attractive for someone looking for a new location to definitely move back to Mediterranean it's a native, friendly italians who talk to her as if she was an old friend. the food should be traditional Italian and very good. we started with aperol splash, the first time I ever had it.

"today's contribution is a mini review of ply in the northern quarter. I say “mini” as I went with a rather distracting couple of ladies and we spent the evening gassing instead of catching away as I usually do!. ply is a huge place at the corner of the stephenson square with the lever street, brought by the young, the cosmonaut to the northern quarter. it is a quirky place, part eating, part creative space. there is a book exchange, doodle wall and monthly exhibitions. the room is huge; a typical, old industrial room with stands and sofas. the size makes it perfect for large groups, as they would not dominate the room. everyone else thinks...read more"

"A good range of tasty American meals. The fish tacos are very nice and the portion is generous. The burgers are quite good. The hot dogs are nice. The service is very good. The staff are friendly and attentive. The lunch menu is priced very competitively and we would recommend it. There’s a nice ambience in the restaurant and it’s warm and welcoming. The restaurant is also very clean. We would definitely visit again."
