"Even though it was payday weekend, I and my friends went for cheap and cheerful so we ate at Wahaca, a Mexican street food chain. We went to the St. Paul’s (City of London) branch as it accepted bookings. Because it was Friday I didn't eat meat (Lenten duties) so I had veggie and fish based dishes. I ordered the Fresh tomato salsa chips, the Fish a la Pimienta with sweet potatoes and Churros for dessert. I like the Fish a la Pimienta; I was expecting to receive a fillet portion but was pleasantly surprised to see more on my plate. I only encountered 2 bones throughout my meal! I highly recommend the sweet potatoes as a side well cooked and well enjoyed by me and the girls. It’s a good place to casually dine; quite a bit of bustling. Given how busy it was I think Wahaca should have done away with the music as it got busier; it sometimes felt like the voices of conversation were competing with the music. Aside from this I liked the layout of the restaurant; it had three floors and did not feel suffocating. The service was good and efficient."

"Beautiful designed restaurant and bar near Leicester Square serving Aegean inspired dishes. We had Seabass Ceviche, Saganaki cheese with truffle honey, Taramasalata Tzatziki dips to start and for mains the sliced Roast Chicken with barley, and graviera cheese and Pastichio which is a Greek baked pasta with king oyster mushrooms and a cheese sauce. For dessert we shared the Lokma , fried dough balls with thyme honey, walnuts, and served with Madagascan vanilla ice cream. A very filling sweet! Prices are high but it is a central location and a good place for a date night and there is good music with different DJs"

"Our visit to this restaurant was disappointing. It was very quiet, with only about 15 people eating. My colleague and I shared a Tomahawk steak, which ended up being more expensive than we were told. We had to wait 20 minutes for our starters, and then another 50 minutes for our main course. When it finally arrived, we had to send it back to the kitchen to be reheated because it had been sitting out and gotten cold. Our waiter Matteo started off nice but became less helpful once it came time to pay the bill. The bill included a 12.5% service charge, which I was considering asking to have removed. Overall, I would not choose to visit this restaurant again."

"Ideally located for the theatre district, offering excellent prix fixe menus and a comprehensive European Austrian menu in elegant ambience. Food and service was flawless and banquet seating was comfortable..We were greeted by Eva who found us the perfect table. The best chicken schnitzel in London, I am told by my son; compared favourably to big Sister, The Wolseley."

"Unfortunately, the restaurant was packed the night we went. We had made a reservation through Open Table for a party of 4 but were treated as walk-ins and given a table near the door and next to a table of 10 who were extremely loud. As a result, the service was below par and we could hardly hear ourselves over the din. The wine waiter was lacking in education and skills and we were left to pour our own wines during the meal. The food was also below par— 3 of us had the house specialty (schnitzel) which was dry and lacking in presentation. Overall, this was a disappointing experience compared to favourable dining at other restaurants in the group — Bellanger and Colbert."

"We ordered the £90 steak for two to share for a special occasion. It took an hour for our starter to come out, and the steak was not of good quality, with a tough, chewy exterior and lots of fat. The portion of the steak that was cooked properly was tasty, but overall it was not worth the money. The table next to us had the same dish and it looked much better. We were unhappy with the service as our order was forgotten and the steak was rushed when it finally came out. However, the manager handled our complaint well by giving us a 30% discount on our bill and offering us a delicious dessert. Overall, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but I probably wouldn't return as the quality of the food seems inconsistent."

"beautiful, again at meat in the parish for being a family dinner. we all enjoyed our evening in this friendly, welcoming restaurant. from the minute they go, are made to feel so welcome. 2 of us had old fashionable cocktails that were perfect. three of us had made gin tonic available from the good selection of gins. we decided to go with our drinks for brot and olives. we enjoyed soft bowling crab, burrata with parma ham feigen and the wonderful wobbly bloomer served with a delicious wicy mayo. we all went for steak next tasty ribeye steaks perfectly cooked a large size and the bone in rib from the metzgerblock divided between 2 of us. the bone in rib was so tasteful, perfectly cooked and enjoyed with the chimichurri sauce (freshly cubed so well.) we have a delicious bordeaux or 2 with our net! we have with the rice pudding, chocolate orange torte and the selection of British cheese absolutely perfect end of our meal. the staff was attentive, courtesy friendly. this was one of the best nights that we had in a long time and definitely go back."

"We came to the restaurant to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and try American cuisine. I was especially excited to try the food from the smoker, and the beef brisket did not disappoint. The steak was also delicious. For dessert, we had the fudge cake and New York cheesecake, both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. The service was exceptional."

"First of all, I always pay attention to a restaurant's decor and salad before even looking at the reviews. The decor in this place is stunning and traditional. The salad included red cabbage and was dressed beautifully. The waitstaff were extremely friendly and welcoming; nothing was too much trouble for them. They even gave my children lollipops, which was a nice touch. The bread was fresh and warm, and the sauces were top-notch. The chili sauce is the best I've ever tasted. I ordered the lamb chops, while my partner had the shish kebab, and both were cooked to perfection. The rice was moist, and everything was full of flavor. The presentation was a solid 10/10. I would highly recommend this restaurant, and I'm looking forward to trying the beyti next time. Parking is just a 2-minute walk away and free for one hour."

"Amazing Carbonara was blown away by it. Unfortunately the goat’s cheese starter was awful cold and cloying and lacking in dressing. To finish I tried the tiramisu which should be light and fluffy, this was solid, stodgy and had a weird taste??? I finished with an Irish Coffee which did t even appear to have cream and was really an awful version of the classic. The cream was mixed with the coffee which was not great and the coffee was instant! If you like carbonara and very friendly hospitality then go, just avoid the goat’s cheese, tiramisu and Irish Coffee."

"Visiting on business trip and decided to try this restaurant out. The food was good but there was a lack of engagement from staff, we are used to excellent customer service from other local restaurants. We were offered water and accepted but believed this was complimentary due to how it was offered, we were astonished to find out we had been charged around £5. It should have been made clear that there was a charge for this. The food,albeit good, took a while to arrive with little interaction from the staff who appeared to be chatting amongst themselves. We were further shocked and surprised by the service charge on the bill. This is not so.ething we are used to or have experienced before, as I say, we are visiting on business. I have since learned that this is optional and we could have refused it but this was not made clear and we felt forced to pay it. All in all this visit left us feeling somewhat disappointed and underwhelmed. Please be more clear with what is being charged for and the options to those expected to pay!"

"nice pub when too much of a 'chain' type of atmosphere, they know everywhere, they go into a davy 's, it will look exactly the same. as always, began with a beautiful camp and then went to the evening dinner room. it was quite far from the kitchens and we felt quite abandoned. the menu is short. with typical pub hot and cold sandwichch eat. I went for the British Savinggel with watchfuls, which was quite good, not as soft as you liked it, but okay. the brot was good, but the butter was a surprise. very nice, nutty and evokatiw. for the main meal I ordered a rib-eye steak, medium. and they mucked it with someone else's order small. so it sent back. not so impressed by the service then, but the second time around the steak was good. all in all would be given 5/10. not so much worth for money, but the weather was very good and enjoyed me with the beer, so I feel a little bit cozy about them."

"Service was incredibly slow!they weren’t very busy but there seemed to be a lot of waiting staff just wandering about doing nothing. After our main meal we offered dessert and coffees. One coffee arrived followed 10 minutes later by desserts. We then asked a further two times about the other coffee. It eventually arrived 30 minutes after we had ordered it. I have been a longtime customer of Bills and have never experienced anything like this before. I definitely won’t be going to the Hammersmith branch again!"

"cat and canary can boast to be the real sportable in canary wharf, unless it is summer or winter sports is always on in summer when weather permits, they set up a tw in the window so that people can sit outside they enjoy the games. in the inner there are 2 LED TVs and a projector screen, quite anywhere they sit, they can not miss the action. they have some good ale and camps on the train and the plates, especially the meat plate it is worth putting up for great sports events such as Olympic or world cups, fine line, davy’s or broodies next to TV screens, but for the year of action there is no other place like cat and canary!"

"every year we come back to lunch. as old retired city chaps this has always kept beautiful memories. Unfortunately, yesterday was a catastrophe. strangely, we had to wash the order from a set menu a few and the story. we had all smoked laughs, which was good. I ordered steak and chips. the steak was ok, but very small, and I counted 7 chips in mine and my friends. a bit dirty green peasant no sneaking offered no sneaking tomato. it was a shame. the service was terrible. I don't think I counted a smile. I asked for more chips and said I don't pay them. my brother had truth. it looked like it had been under warm heating for a long time. the dark flesh was not edible and there was no filling. he complained and they returned with a better looking version. no excuse. oh and the restaurant was just a third full so I still don't know why we had to preorder and how they could supply such a crumbly food. the next cure was cheese, which was already prepared in a refrigerator. three types. and three cookies. my brother's plate was ice cold right from the freezer. totally unacceptable. he changed for Christmas pudding. there were no excuses or something. we'll never do it in that thing. such a shame to see an old clip disappear."

"The service at this restaurant is very slow. The food is decent, but lacks personality. The desserts stand out as the most interesting part of the menu. The restaurant's location is lovely, with large windows, a touch of greenery, and outdoor tables on a quiet city street that is perfect for a sunny day. While there may be better options for steak in town, they likely come with a higher price tag."

"that was my first time in the city souvlaki and definitiw the last thing that is a scandal, because eating was nice, we couldn't blame it. I wish that could be said about the waitress. Every time she came to our table, she rolled her eyes and she saw it to other guests too, but not the ones that she knew we were creeping. I am a Greek cypriot, but I shouldn't flicker to get good service. a good service should be given to everyone, regardless of where they come from."

"The restaurant was poorly managed, very quiet, and lacked any ambiance. We had to wait a long time for someone to take our order and were disappointed to find that many dishes were not available, including crocodile steak. The only exotic meat option was zebra. Despite my 11-year-old son being too old to be classified as a child, they did not offer any child-friendly options. We were served a burnt burger with no cheese and fries coated in a spice my son couldn't eat. It took a long time to get our bill, which was overpriced and included a 12.5% service fee. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant. I don't mind paying for quality food, service, and atmosphere, as I recently had a great meal in Florida for over £300. The Zulu dish at this establishment was far from a pleasant experience or tasty bite. Overall, it was a complete letdown."

"The restaurant and bar has a lovely atmosphere, and the cocktails are quite good. However, they were late in seating us, and it took 20 minutes for us to order drinks even after we seated ourselves. The food was disappointing; the seabass ceviche was overcooked and very fishy with little flavor. Overall, everything took a long time to arrive, and it was difficult to get the attention of the staff. The experience felt a bit chaotic and disorganized."

"Staff were very attentive and checked on us regularly throughout the meal asking if we needed more drinks etc. the food is amazing, we ordered a variety of dishes to share between the 4 of us so that we could sample as much as possible. The squid portion was generous and tasted delicious and the bang bang shrimp were also really good. We had the bulgogi beef skewers and aubergine skewers both were tasty but the beef ones were very flavoursome and my favourite dish of all. The desserts are also really tasty passion fruit cheesecake was deconstructed and has a hidden layer of passion fruit sauce underneath to add extra zing. The only fault would be the cookie dough would have benefitted from more ice cream as it was a little sickly after a while."
