"today harvard inn (22 October) visited with friends for lunch and drink. we received not the warmest reception, 3 young girls working from the bar, but were more interested in their phones than actually a service. when we came to our table, there were no best or serviettes. we waited 15 minutes to take our food order and ask for a wine list. then we had to wait 10 minutes to order a bottle of wine. when the weeping was overlaid, he was left on the table, we were not offered to try it and it was not poured for us. waiting for eating was long, 35 minutes for 2 x sausages and maic and 1 x fish and chips. When the food finally arrived, there was no cute yet. we had to ask that, and it was just in a stack on the table. the fish and chips were very good as the sausages and mashing. until a human hair was found in the maic! the waitress came over and took the food with an empty expression and murmured an apology. we waited for some time again that teller will be taken away and ask for the bill. also here it took at least 10 minutes to pass. I wouldn't worry about waiting, but the bar was absolutely empty! halfway through our meal came a table of 10, there were already cutlery and serviettes laid and water was provided. the staff seemed to be much more attentive to this group. I am incredibly disappointed as I was already in the harvard inn and eating and the service was impeccable. Not sure if there is a change of hands or if there is a lack of training. the young staff seemed to have no idea, and as already mentioned was more interest in chatting and their handys. I am grateful that the meal with the found hair was taken out of the bill. sad to say that I don't return."

"Surprisingly quiet for a late lunch on Saturday so quiet in fact that the cocktails we had been recommended by the restaurant that we make time to sample were not available because the cocktail barperson was offduty. Once we had passed that disappointment, the rest of the afternoon was very pleasant, aided by excellent service and food that was wellexecuted barring a few bits of shell in the crab salad and a somewhat less than melting portion of belly pork. A very handy venue for the Wigmore Hall, and for Oxford St shoppers looking to escape the retail fray. I'd happily return to this place to see how it's evolving and I still want to sample the cocktail menu"

"they sat immediately, but wanted to be in our own room and was said we can't sit wherever we like, as they are short personal. that was a Monday night. about other employees had begun to sit shortly after. so that at the end of anyway the place could be taken as the restaurant was also very quiet. the food was ordered and came out as expected, but we needed some changes to our order. tammy chimichanga had a soak that I didn't want, and the kitschige tortillabrot came very crispy and burned. the total quality of the food was not great and had to ask if articles should be removed from the bill, as did not want to wait for another dish while my friend had already begun her meal. they insisted on getting me another dish, but I was not willing to wait the extra time if it should come first properly. I came out to eat at the same time as my friend did not eat at different times. we sat near the kitchen and everything we could hear was that they played their own music there. a blond waitress standing in the same position for a good min. half an hour doesn't really do anything."

"We went for afternoon tea. The service was good, and there was a good quantity of sandwiches and scones, but the cakes were a little uninspiring. Even with a 241 offer, it still came to £70 for 2 with a glass of champagne. There are better teas for better value, and the surroundings, despite the live music (hidden behind a pillar for most diners) are not fantastic. It feels very much like the breakfast room in a corporate hotel, rather than a special afternoon treat place."

"In a gastronomic era dominated by a surfeit of no-choice tasting menus it is a delight to sample the fine dining choices offered by the menu at the Peacock. With its delicious, daily changing, amuse bouches and pre-deserts along with a hyper-salivatory choice of seven starters and mains, it takes you back to the masterfully inventive days of the 1970 with all the refinements of a modern and superbly creative kitchen team. This super bill of fare offers guests at the hotel a good reason to stay for a few nights without wondering where-else to eat. After temperature checks and hand sanitising we were warmly, and efficiently, welcomed into the bosom of this lovely old Hotel in the heart of early autumnal Derbyshire. The food was up there with the very best of British cooking. My starter of beautifully presented Tuna tartare with a soy flavouring and a thin yuzu gel covering was a sushi wonder and my wife's cauliflower soup with curry oil drizzle (another homage to the 70's) superbly creamy and flavoursome. Our mains (Stone bass with fennel and sardines and the superb goats curd and shallot ravioli) were accompanied by an excellent choice of wines by glass or bottle. Choice also included equally tasty but more traditional items from the bar menu and the meal was completed by desserts that would have made any Michelin pastry chef proud. We travelled for over an hour to reach this culinary haven and it was worth every minute. The restaurant, attentive waiting staff and, especially the chefs, provided us with an evening of foody delight. Just go there! You won't regret it."

"We were there for a birthday. Had a reservation. Great table. Nice server. We had fries and crab bon bons as a starter and then waited mins for chilled crab. The server came by and asked us if we wanted a dessert menu. We told him we never got our meal...still took about mins to get our meal after all of this and there was nothing done to remedy the mishap. for two people for lunch with very little food is a bit extreme."

"I recently visited Chiquito on Riverside in Norwich with my family to celebrate Father's Day. The food was fantastic, and everyone enjoyed their meals. Each of us chose a different dish, all of which were delicious. I opted for the Chicken Enchiladas with hot sauce, though next time I might try the spiciest option as it wasn't as hot as I had hoped. My daughter had the chilli beef tacos with mild sauce, which had a bit more heat. The tortilla chips starter was tasty, and we even got to wear sombreros to embrace the Mexican theme. The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly and attentive. The only downside was the slow service when requesting the bill and waiting for payment. However, they do offer the option to pay using their app at the table. Despite this minor inconvenience, we were happy with our overall experience. I highly recommend trying the Mexican Mess dessert."

"Hungover and wanted a carvery delivered. The meat was the texture of what could only be described as, cabbage? almost as if it was boiled and watered down, tasteless to say the least. The promise of home made stuffing came to a burning halt when...i opened the box only to find out that I was sold a dream so be faced with a grey ball that was the texture of sand?? the roast potatoes were raw yet soggy? Don’t even get me started on the ‘cauliflower cheese’, nothing like dry cauliflower with no cheese. the array of 2 different vegetables was honestly what’s not to love about raw hard veg. Oh and not to mention it was stone cold upon arrival. Delivery time took 2 hours. Needless to say this is nothing short of an abysmal meal. but a let down with no other than smash and aunt betsy’s yorkshire puddings. wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy."

"Great Restaurant, Well Picked staff, very friendly, chatty and great for recommending. Generally a very welcoming atmosphere. If you want somewhere to relax on an afternoon, it's very nice, if you want a party atmosphere, go after That's when it starts to kick in. Always have vouchers and deals on their bills and scratchcards with money off your bill. But hey! Why not? You're saving and enjoying yourself!! Cocktails are gorgeous with a range of margaritas and flavours. The food is amazing, always hot and well timed. Very reasonably priced. Even better on the Lunch menu! Must say, I even had my child have a Piñata party! And they made the children really enjoy themselves, all the staff got involved with singing happy birthday. Defiantly an all round party atmosphere!! Regular visitor now."

"I can here on a busy Saturday, however I had a reservation and I was very disappointed. Firstly the service was terrible, we had booked a table through open table and we still had to wait over half an hour for our table to be ready. When we were finally seated the terrible service continued. As soon as we were sat down and got our menus they asked us our order, some of us even had our jackets on. I felt quite rushed. We ordered our food quickly and waited over 45 minutes till dishes started to arrive. Many of the dishes were missing. One of the members of our party ordered a pornstar martini which came half empty and the shot of prosecco was almost non existent. We then complained to the manager who said ‘don’t worry about it we will get you a new one and you can keep that one as an apology’. However the new pornstar martini did not turn up till we had almost finished our mains. The mains were luke warm and they forgot so many parts of our dishes, for example forgetting the wraps for the fajitas, the dips with our starters and many more. As the evening came to a close I was glad to be leaving. We asked for our bill and when I checked it I found out that we had been charged twice for the pornstar martini and all the other extras we never got. We asked for this to be removed which the waitresses seemed hesistant so had to wait to speak to the manager. The manager was attentive and removed that charger however it wasn’t a good experience. I won’t be return any time soon."

"~ Food: The food was mediocre at best. It lacked flavor and creativity, and we were left feeling underwhelmed by our meals. Overall, the dining experience was not enjoyable and we would not recommend this restaurant to others."

"Hello We attended this restaurant today 12th March booked a table only when we arrived we found that there was a children’s party in attendance. We first had to wait for 10 minutes to be shown to our table then when we were shown to our table the server said someone will be over to take a drinks order but no one turned up I had to go to the bar to get someone to come over who did take a drink order but we never received the drinks nor did we get anyone to take a food order so after being sat for approx 1 hour we left without placing an order or reviving the drinks we ordered there were 3 other tables waiting as well and they never got served awful service no apology nothing just awful"
"• Our reserved table was not ready, even though we booked well in advance • Our food and drinks were repeatedly delivered to the wrong table • We noted in our booking that it was a 21st birthday celebration • Asked the waitress to put a candle in our dessert, but it came without one • The double espresso was lukewarm • Overall, it was a disappointing evening, but the food was decent. We ordered the ultimate Fajita, but it had the same amount of wraps as a normal one."
"The dining experience was very pleasant, with excellent service."

"I went to wagamama yesterday with my two daughters and had a pretty unpleasant experience. the food was good, but my daughter found a stone in her ram. fortunately, she threw it out when she bite or swallowed it could have been quite dangerous. she reported it to the waiter at the end of our meal, which showed some straight to empathy, and said he will show it to the manager. but after talking to another employee he returned with a card machine, took our payment without comment on the stone. When I look back, I feel like I had fixed and/or asked to see the manager. overall this situation was made too easy and we felt quite ignored by the personal. it would have been nice to be recognized for a mistake that was the disorder of the restaurant."
"When we arrived at the restaurant, I dropped off my friends and went to park my car. Upon my return, I learned that they had been informed that we couldn't be accommodated because the restaurant was shutting down permanently at the end of the night, and there were limited food options available. I was quite frustrated! We decided to leave and went to another nearby restaurant instead. The next day, since I couldn't use my vouchers, I applied for a refund. I only received back 50% of their value, and I have since appealed this decision, as I was unable to use them at the time I had booked due to circumstances beyond my control. While I know there are other Chiquito locations, none are close to us. I have dined at Chiquito in Croydon numerous times and have taken friends and family there, but I was very disappointed by how the closure was handled. Had I been given notice about their impending closure, I would have certainly made arrangements to visit one of their other locations."

"We found the menus to be quite complicated. There were six of us eating and two if us arrived a bit late. Overall I found the street food dishes to be delicious and we ordered of them on the advice of the friendly waitress. We mainly stuck to that menu. Two of us shared a bottle of white wine and that menu choice was limited options from memory. The rest drank beer. I also had a margarita which was fab. We had tacos and salsaguacamole dips to start as well all very nice. Some of us ordered dessert the donuts with choc dip v average and a tart which was like a creme caramel no pastrybiscuit base which they weren't expecting. Overall I would go back but the I have to say the service from the chap waiter who took over when we moved to a bigger table helped to complicate it all for us. He seemed as confused as we were at times"

"Upon our arrival, a young man showed us to our table but quickly departed without inquiring if the location was to our liking. I expected him to take a moment to welcome us. I noticed that other groups who arrived after us were treated in the same indifferent way, which stood in stark contrast to the warm and friendly service we received from our waiter Craig. This situation needs to be addressed, as it’s not difficult to make guests feel welcome."

"Nice comfortable chairs, good lighting and ambience. Service was great. However, we paid £110 for a meal for 2 and a bottle of wine, and it just wasn’t worth it. Hot food was over cooked and difficult to chew. (Cold dishes were lovely though). I might return for a sharing plate and a couple of beers, but main course dishes at £20 each that were not well cooked made it a disappointing review"
