"I have just recently visited the restaurant with my family and the restaurant decor is very nice and appealing but I was not happy with the service from the waiting staff all of one. and the food was not upto standard. The restaurant was empty except for my family so I thought the service would be more dedicated, the food was dry and bland over cooked and caused two members of my family stomach issues. Due to my family being hungry we had to eat the food, there was items missing from our food that had to be pointed out and took time coming to our table. The mocktails were packed with ice and a small amount of juice which was very disappointing. The service could do with much improvement as the waitress did not know the menu and what to do and how to set the tables we had to request for sauces which would’ve been on the table after we made our Order. It’s the last time I would visit the restaurant again due to the food and service and asking for the managers assistance with your concerns is non existence."

"This is the best Greek restaurant I have ever been to and definitely one of the best I have ever eaten at. The ingredients are top quality and the portions are generous, all at an affordable price. The front of house service is exceptional and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for delicious Greek food. The menu has a large selection of vegetarian options, and there is plenty of free parking available. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with a full 5-star rating for food, service, and atmosphere."

"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."

"We arranged to have a celebration meal for my sons birthday. We obviously wanted to make a fuss over him turning 9. I arranged it when we originally booked and also spoke to the waitress who took our order and delivered our first 2 courses on two occasions. She even took a note of my sons details but then nothing ever happened. Will probably head back for a meal at some point. But feel a bit frustrated over how much we paid with very little back. Only 2 adults one child and a toddler. Now we're home I feel I could have better spent the money on something else. Bit of an anti climax to our afternoon/ evening."

"We enjoyed a 3 course vegan menu with 3 options for each course. Our meal began with bread, though there was no vegan butter available, the staff kindly provided us with olive oil and balsamic vinegar as an alternative. For our starters, we shared the tempura vegetables and garlic bread with mushrooms, both of which were delicious. Our main courses included a strudel and vegetable tart, both bursting with flavor. We had planned on sharing a sticky toffee pudding for dessert, but the waiter surprised us with a vegan brownie that wasn't on the menu - a wonderful addition to our meal. Despite the generous portions, all three courses were priced at just £17.50 each. The service was excellent, and we had a fantastic overall dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant."

"My partner and I often visit Rye for a day out and we have now made this place our go-to place for lunch. The staff in there are lovely and the supervisors are so very kind and understanding with them. The food is simple fayre...which you must expect given what it is set up for. We’ve always had great service and food. Those complaining below must understand that you need to be just a little bit more patient and tolerant. It’s not the Ivy and was never meant to be so. It’s a great little venture and long may it prosper."

"This was our third visit to this restaurant this year. It's just an okay place since Leatherhead lacks good dining options, so we often opt for this Italian eatery. This time, I ordered the avocado, tomato, and mozzarella salad, but it lacked flavor. I also had the spaghetti vongole, but it was gritty, so I couldn't finish it. The owner did offer an alternative, but I just didn't feel like eating anymore. My partner ordered pizza, but unfortunately, the crust was not crispy. After paying, we left and don't plan to return."

"the service is catastrophe, and they accused me twice for the same eating I went with my flyer when we came in, people without screen protection to separate writing, door and windows were closed, smoke was filled inside. poor service, steak came into order, but the chips did not taste fresh at all the worst experience when I paid the dinner over 50 pounds, they took my card and then, after the transaction was completed, they said they did not accept any sign card and asked my bf to pay the bills again. they did not cancel my transaction, did not give me my reception, the waiter attitude was really bad, then I had to come back after an hour to ask for my reception.

"This place is a hidden gem. I met up with friends to catch up and reminisce about the times we used to share a bottle of wine in the old town. We didn't realize the restaurant had moved, but we were pleasantly surprised. We had a fantastic meal in our own private alcove and the service was excellent. I highly recommend dining here and we will definitely be returning in the future."

"Came with big family party for my birthday. Extremely disappointed, starters were ok but all came at different times, had to ask a waitress where one was as everyone else had finished theirs and she just looked absolutely clueless as to why we were talking to her. New waiter didn’t even know what dishes he was bringing out and looked at us to answer for him, fair enough he’s new but come on, train your staff the basics. Didn’t get free bottle of wine even though we ordered tapas. One blonde girl walking around just playing with her hair and we didn’t understand the point in her being there, she didn’t do a thing all night, she just looked like she’d got lost. We didn’t get asked if we wanted a drink the whole night, had to keep asking where our mains were, an hour and 45 minutes later they arrived and my ‘jerk’ chicken burger was so bad, the bread sopping wet and falling to bits and the chicken was just plain chicken breast with none of the **** cut off it and slightly seasoned. the ‘manager’ said this was cause the chef had put ‘loads of sauce on it’ but there was no sauce at all, bone dry chicken, didn’t put any spicy sauce in like I asked and when I requested it they brought me a squeezey bottle to do it myself. Cajun chips came plain and when we told them they just sprinkled some Cajun seasoning just on the top, meat was all fatty and sparse on the bbq combo dish, boneless chicken wings were just chicken tenders!!?? The ribs had no meat on at all literally just bone, curry was cold and plain with no flavour to it at all. Everything bang average, staff unbelievably immature, very badly trained with no customer service skills or communication skills. The managers response when we told him all this was ‘I can only apologise’ so we had to request for money to be knocked off our bill, which they did- fair enough but we had to really push for this. Feels like they hire very young staff and don’t bother training them. Honestly a very, very poor experience and would never go back or recommend to anyone. Don’t ignore the bad reviews they’re all very accurate. The only member of staff I appreciated tonight was the girl with the dark hair who first took our order, she was the only one with any customer service skill or any sense."

"Last weekend my wife’s family held a gathering of sorts at the Mulberry Tree in Braintree. The food was possibly the worst I’ve eaten and was as far from being reasonably priced as it could be. All the little locals are now owned by chains and we pay our hard earned for frozen nuggets and chips sat with groupon vouchered benefit family’s glued to their phones whilst their half bred kids run riot and then there’s the staff of whom we are an inconvenience to. So when my sister in law and her boyfriend of whose family supply most of the genuine restaurants in the Essex and Suffolk areas with their meat instead of brake bros, they happened to mention the Vine in Great Bardfield. With my 10 year old son racing locally and friends attending to spectate we soon got talking about lunch? We happened to mention the Vine and once the track action finished we were quickly making our way to sunny Great Bardfield. The Vine looks like a traditional pub from the front and has parking accessed via the side entrance. There was a large garden with tables and play area for the kids to play. The restaurant itself is small with a quirky feel and the staff not only very welcoming but they can talk by opening and closing their mouths. There is no pre booking (according to the website) and we arrived unannounced as a group of 7 and got seated right away. The menus were clean and the food has different names so you can read it and not opt for the usual default setting so many of us so often do. We opted for Disco Brisket and The classic burgers, fries on the side with additional onion rings, mozzarella bites and a double portion of chicken wings. The kids had burgers too and this is where things for me set the standard as my youngest of whom is on occasions fussy with his food ate the whole thing before insisting it was the best burger he had eaten. I have to agree as do our friends. The portions were large enough to request a box for the chicken wings to take home, of which when asked the staff were obliging. We had an extremely nice meal with drinks and the bill was a little over £100. The Vine not only exceeded my expectations but has set the bar for other restaurants to catch up or end up as yet another curry house. Cannot wait to return for what will be an adult only evening and my only negative comment was not trying the desserts. The nearest ice cream to us is a drive to Thurrock or to Snugburys in Cheshire so a milk shake or rare flavoured ice cream would be 10/10"

"Choice of steaks is very limited for a place advertising itself as a steak house. Since I was quite hungry, I asked for a medium T-Bone, which was the only cut of meat on the menu above 10oz. in weight. I got a cold piece of meat that looked medium from outside but was completely red inside, and this was the first serious red flag. However, the point of cooking was not the main problem. The meat was tough and chewy at an unacceptable level. Sides were nice. Service was fine but too aggressive in pouring unwanted water and wine (had to stop them twice). Price was below average but this doesn't fix the problem."

"My wife and I have been going to Posillipo in Canterbury for the past seven years, and in that time no other establishment has been able to usurp its preeminence as our favourite restaurant in the city. Any reviewers who complain about the quality of the food (especially the pizzas and the homemade pasta dishes) are most likely not accustomed to authentic Italian cuisine. As a man of Italian descent (and with the whole-hearted agreement with my genuine Italian friends in Canterbury), I maintain that Posillipo offers the best, most authentic Italian food in the area. As is often the case with real Italian restaurants, the menu is also very reasonably priced. The staff is superb, always making my wife and I feel like honoured guests, attentively seeing to our needs, and never making us feel in any way rushed. The restaurant is conveniently located in the centre of town, close to both the cathedral and the Marlowe Theatre. In short, I cannot recommend this establishment enough, and I always find it difficult to understand why anyone would pass up Posillipo for one of the mediocre (at best) pseudo-Italian chains that populate the High Street."

"The Jolly Butchers was once a great pub. The selection of beers and ciders was second to none, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Not anymore. Gone is the feel of a proper pub which serves food to be replaced by staff greeting you as you enter and attempting to shuffle you towards a table of their choosing. Gone are the groups of local having a knees up, to be replaced by quiet tables of people eating overpriced and underwhelming food. It 's ok for pubs to change and to oppose them focussing more on food is to truly against an overwhelming tide. But pubs needn 't lose their souls, they needn 't have staff waiting to intercept you as you walk through the door. At one visit recently we sat down at a free table, only to be told after quarter of an hour that another group of people had 'reserved ' the table despite their being so sign of that previously and no one mentioning it to us. The fact that this other group was larger, and buying food, might ust have made them better customers than us. It 's with great sadness that I say I won 't be going back to what used to be a favourite pub of mine. I only hope that the few remaining other local gems don 't go the same way."

"I booked Bill 's Covent Garden well in advance for my 50th birthday meal. There were 11 of us altogether. We left our unfinished cocktails at Tequila Mockingbird in order to get to Bill 's in time for our booking at 7.30pm. We arrived in time and were told that the table was not ready and to wait outside. We waited for 30 minutes during that time no one came out to update us on what was happening. When a member of our party asked when our table would be ready and explained that it was for a special occasion the manager said and I quote 'Everyone here is special '. We were not implying that we were more special than other diners, only that it was a special occasion and having to wait 30 minutes in the cold with no explanation was not a great start. When we were finally seated we were given no table water until we asked for some 15 minutes after sitting and it took a further 20 minutes for anyone to come over to take our drink order (after having to go and ask! A member of our party spoke to a senior member of staff (unsure if manager or deputy manager about the situation and that what was to be a special occasion was turning into a terrible night. Then the manageress (short blonde hair not sure of name came over and interrupted the conversation, was very rude and aggressive claiming we were being deliberately obtrusive. When we explained how long we had to wait, the lack of awareness and service at our table and that what was to be a special night was being ruined she seemed to calm down and two bottles of complimentary prosecco sent to our table. We then had a further extended wait before our order was taken. Between when we arrived at 7.30 and when we received our food was an hour and a half. The managers left before we asked for the bill and were not around to support the staff when we found discrepancies in the bill. The manageress of this Bill 's was terrible and had an absolute lack of any customer service whatsoever. She would not acknowledge that the long wait times were a problem and in fact implied that we were the problem. The wait staff however were lovely and understanding of our situation. This was a memorable birthday but not in a good way. Avoid."

"A very disappointing experience. The menu on the web site is nothing like the menu you are given at the table. The menu is extremely limited and poor. The meal is not value for money as you are charged for all the extras, such as chips etc on top of the mail item. This restaurant needs to look at the surroundings competition and adjust accordingly otherwise they will go out of business. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone, very very poor hence the low star rating."

"It 's reassuring to read other reviews and see that many other people found the service awful. I never write restaurant reviews, but it 's such a waste of money when you are spending so much money for a nice occasion but you have **** service and you are felt like you are just holding up the staff from going home. My friend and I arrived for our 2pm booking and the indifferent man who greeted us informed me that we had 30 minutes to order before the kitchen closed. It was then that I realised that our booking was their last lunchtime booking. We were not warned about it when we made a reservation. From then on, everything was extremely rushed. All the staff were rude and unpleasant (apart from one waitress who gave us the BBQ sauces and the barman). We took our order and we had a few questions about the menu, e.g. whether 2 side dishes of rice would be too much with all the food, but the man just wrote down the dishes without answering our questions and said we had to order all our food because the kitchen was closing and just said 'it 's up to you ' whilst not even looking at us, just looking around at the rest of the restaurant. The food came and it was average (not as good as Olle restaurant). No one came to us and asked if everything was ok during the meal. The waitress came with the bill and didn 't ask how everything was, she just put the bill on the table and simply said 'We are closing '. I asked her if the last lunchtime booking gets to have dessert and she said 'No because we are closed and the staff need to finish ' and walked off. It 's bad when you are paying just as much as everyone else for your meal (close to £100 for 2 people, by the way) but you don 't have the same service. If you are going to have a last booking don 't close the kitchen 30 minutes after I don 't know any restaurants that do that. Or at least warn people before that they won 't be able to have any dessert. They didn 't even say the booking was 1 hour 30 minutes in the confirmation email. There are plenty of other nice restaurants in London where they don 't rush you and actually treat you as a valued customer I would never return here."

"we stopped from harpers steakhouse on Saturday afternoon for lunch, and we're sure we're glad we made it. the building itself is beautiful and had a great atmosphere. it was pretty quiet when we visited, but I think it has a big bush in the evening. eating was fantastic, fresh and above all, very good worth considering the quality. we shared some buffalo chicken wings to begin that were fantastic and some of the biggest wings I have ever seen. for that, we both decided for the rump steak. it was nice that they can choose their foods including sauces. I cut with a classic peppercorn sauce next to salad and chunky chips. the meat was very well cooked, the sauce was sublim, the chips were nice and crispy too. service was friendly, and perhaps was a little slower because it was only 2 employees, but overall it was a faultless experience and we would certainly return 100% in the future."
