"I just want to pay my tributes to Maze Grill and the staff for the excellent experience we had when we visited you for dinner on New Years Eve! Me and my family felt ourself very special already from the entrance, the bar and throughout the whole dinner. Especially our headwaiter (think his name was Karnal? but also his colleagues had much to do but never failed in attention, on the contrary there where not a single second we had to wait or ask for anything. Nice details as when someone constantly have an eye if our glasses needed to be filled up or when our son dropped the fork he had a new one even faster than he could of picked it up himself from the floor. And we noticed that the staff picked up the napkins and folded it and put it back whenever someone went to toilet or so. And it never felt pushy or so, just nice and friendly discreet attention. And what about the food? The garlic shrimps for starter was great as a appetizer and the steak for main course was perfectly executed, as well as the chips and the cole slaw was to die for. Again the attention for detail was great since we had different choices all four of us. The sommelier presented the wines on an Ipad to choose from and we struck gold for choosing a red stellenbosch one. If we have anything to complain about the wine could of been a couple of degrees colder, it was room temperatur I believe. We could of said something but we didn´t since we already got our main courses. When we left Maze Grill for heading out for the fireworks the doorman helped us with a cab…all nice details that makes you feel happy to pay the bill even if its much more than you usually spend on a dinner as an ”average family”. We will certainly visit you again and we will look for other Ramsay restaurants whenever we travel abroad again. Hope you will find a place in Stockholm to start up a new restaurant someday! We say Thank you and wish you all a Happy New Year! Mikael Tarnstrom with family"

"First time trying a Gordon Ramsay restaurant and definitely wouldn’t go to one again! We ordered the beef wellington for two it was tough and chewy, no taste whatsoever. Mushrooms tasted burnt inside. When we told the staff we weren’t happy the chef told us that fillet isn’t supposed to have a taste! And it was seasoned perfectly! Very shocked as we enjoy beef wellington and fillet whenever we eat out (which is often! and we have never found it tough or tasteless anywhere else! Very disappointed as we don’t live in London and travelled up just for this meal. I would recommend to anyone to avoid this restaurant! Clearly the chef doesn’t know how to cook and has too big an ego to admit it!"

"Maybe when people are arrive and you offer water for the table you should explain this is chargeable at £5.50. Also check your toilets more regularly as disappointed to find toilet roll cardboard and lady products on the floor. Food amazing though and highly recommend for the food alone!"

"First class. Food and service were superb. Truly accomplished and delicious dishes. My friend, who doesn’t really care much for food, declared the honey parfait dessert to be the best thing he’d ever eaten. I had the rhubarb soufflé, the presentation of which is hilariously risqué! The rack of Dover sole was exquisite. Lots of little treats too. The sommelier was really good even though we weren’t splashing out on wine on this occasion. Her dirty dry martinis were excellent. Overall, a five-star experience. Ambience-wise, it was a bit quiet on Saturday lunch; and it is undeniably expensive. No doubt a causal connection between those two minor quibbles. However, we both agreed that it was worth it and have spent comparable sums (or more) elsewhere for far less. The team behind this restaurant are at the top of their game: they appear to love what they do; and pull out the stops to give their guests a wonderful time. The staff were attentive and kind but not intrusive. Consummate professionals."

"of us on a Sunday teatime. The restaurant was quiet and not very busy. of us had the pre theatre menu which was mostly good value, although the dishes most appetising all had a supplement. I had the tuna which was delicious. of us shared a lobster, and they enjoyed it very much. Service was polite and helpful. I would have liked to see a side dish included with the set menu; the dishes needed a side apart from the fish and chips and it just adds to the set menu price. Food was nice, service at does ramp the price up, but I guess it is central London. All in all, a good dining experience"

"First visit to this restaurant, for a lunch time celebration . Warm welcome and good all round ambience, nice decor, etc. Service throughout was excellent. Had the tagliatelle with wild boar Raghu, which was delicious, aswell as the pork/veal meatballs with roast potatoes which were very tasty. Enjoyed the chessboard all famous Italian cheeses, served with honey which was a first for us but no fruit or celery, which was a little disappointing. Overall, very enjoyable and almost full, which added to the atmosphere of a happy occasion."

"I requested a spot at the counter bar since I was alone and heading to the theatre . No sooner was I seated than the bar man abruptly asked me what I wanted to drink no “welcome, how are you tonight” . He seemed a bit miffed when I asked to see the cocktail list, as though I should know instantly what I wanted. And, although a prix-fixe, pre-theatre menu is advertised online, only the regular a la carte menu was handed to me. So I had to ask for that, as well! As it turned out, I ordered an expensive a la carte main dish, since it appealed to me. During my meal, no one ever topped up my sparkling water the bottle stood in plain sight and the barman/waiter watched me refill my glass. And, when I’d finished my cocktail, no one asked if I’d like a glass of wine although I sat there looking at the page of wines by the glass . By then, although I did want wine, I was too fed up with the rudeness to order one. It was only after I asked for my bill that a waiter asked if I’d like dessert or coffee! Obviously, I didn’t. But I just smiled politely and said I had to go. No one thanked me for coming or wished me a pleasant evening. Yes, the place is packed being right by the Ritz Hotel is very beneficial . And the ambiance is suave and clubby. But the waitstaff is basically disaffected although they do act unctuously polite to regulars . I’ve actually been coming to Le Caprice for many years, but usually sit with friends at a table. Hmm— what a difference!"

"If you're going to listen to decent music on a Saturday afternoon then this is a good place to pass the time away. However, the customer service is so so bad. I was aggressively spoken to by one of the servers called Alex. The food is not fit for consumption. And the price is a rip off. The bottomless Prosecco at £25 make sure you drink your moneys worth but be prepared to have a headache after because it is the cheapest brand they give u. Aside from the music don't expect to be wowed by the customer service delivery and food. Absolute shambles"

"I recently attended a birthday party at a restaurant located in the Nomad Hotel. The food, a delightful fusion of Mexican flavors, was fantastic, and the variety of margaritas was exceptional. Although the restaurant is small, which can make it a bit noisy, the service was outstanding. Overall, it was a very enjoyable evening, and I will definitely return."

"Heard so many good reviews about Quays gastro bar in portrush so called in on a Friday around 7.00pm. It was quite busy with holiday families however we had a short wait in the beer garden which was very pleasant and had a beer during our wait for restaurant. The restaurant itself was in contrast to the beer garden was very dark in fact the walls were painted black and ambiance not great for a dining experience (we would have been happy sitting in the enclosed section of the beer garden) The meal itself was fair to poor, my rump steak texture was not like it should be I had the feeling it was put through some sort of tenderising process and not great like a good steak freshly cooked should be, garlic fries were just ok. My wife chicken strips coated in breadcrumbs the coating so salty she could not eat them, I am more salt tolerant but they were so salty I could not eat them either. We are not people who complain and the staff were very pleasant and I did leave a tip. So Quays I have to say huge disappointment and will not return."

"Terrible: Very poor value for money, food was mediocre (some dishes were over salted, some were bland), wine was way overpriced and not very good. There were 5 adults and one child in our party, none of the meals or drinks were interesting or special. Food took a long time, the kids meal arrived 1.5hrs+ after we sat down, we had to ask two times for it since our 4yr old was getting hungry. In the end, it was a plate of sausage and mash and I could have cooked something more interesting and tasty myself, in a fraction of the time. Worst of all was the service. The waiters were pushy, arrogant and not very effective. They spilled the wine down the side of the glass every time they poured it (my wine glass was also dirty when I sat down). They pushed extras and sides, felt like we were getting ripped off all the time. Food took a long time. Over and above this, they were very rude to us and we left feeling that they were trying to create a special restaurant but failing badly at it because the food wasn't very special, the service was terrible and the price was way too high. Very disappointed, would advise you to go elsewhere."

"Interestingly, despite being an Italian restaurant, they did not offer any Italian beer, only Spanish and German options. Moving on to the main course, although the portions were small, the dish was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed butternut squash and goat cheese tortellini, which were generously stuffed with goat cheese and adorned with walnuts. On the other hand, I also tried the duck dish. While it was well-cooked and satisfying in quantity, I believe it would have benefited from being served warm and sliced. A sharper knife might have improved the presentation. Nonetheless, the duck itself was perfectly cooked. The food we had was truly delightful, showcasing high-quality ingredients. That said, I felt the menu was rather limited; it was quite concise with around 20 dishes total, from starters to desserts. In comparison, many other Italian restaurants offer extensive menus that tantalize the palate. Moreover, I found it somewhat presumptuous—and a bit annoying—that a 10% service charge was automatically added to the bill without prior notice. I typically prefer to leave a tip based on the service I received, and being compelled to pay an extra amount diminished the overall experience. While the service was good and I appreciate the efforts of the staff, I believe that tips should be a personal decision made by the diner rather than a forced obligation. Overall, the food was excellent, and I may return, but I hope for a few improvements next time."

"I have been going to this restaurant for years for special occasions, and it has always been fantastic. However, on my last visit for a first date, things went completely wrong. We ordered two different steak meals, each with a different cooking style and sauce. When the meals arrived, they had the wrong sauces and were cooked incorrectly. I spoke to the manager about the issue, but it led to an awkward situation. I asked for the meals to be prepared correctly, but was told that mine would then be cold. Instead of replacing the meals, we ended up accepting what we were given. This disastrous experience ruined my first date and I ended up paying over £89 for it. It was definitely not a Marc Pierre moment. Since then, I have taken my business elsewhere. It's unfortunate, as I used to really enjoy this restaurant before this incident."

"I can relax more from a few places in london, while enjoying a lazy long lunch in the sun or romantic evening meal, as the sun goes down as the chelsea harbour brasserie with views of the beautiful yachts in the marina. eating is excellent as the service and they can really not beat the lookout. the restaurant itself is bright and airy with shades of nautical blue and saw, again with floor to ceiling window opened in summer."

"The problem with Bella Italia Lakeside is it is so hit and miss! In the past we have had some nice meals and service but lately that just doesn't seem to be the case. On Sunday 16th July my partner and I went there after some shoppping, was a good sign to start with that we were acknowledged alomst straight away and shown to a table (this is a good start as move times more recently we have been ignored at the door for a good 10 mins or so and left! We sat down and waited for someone to come over, no-one ever did. I went to the loo after we had been there about 20 minutes, the toilets were in a pretty filthy state and need some maintenance attention and a good clean! When i sat back down I could see there was a card on the table to order via your phone using the QR code, no-one told us we needed to do that, it was hideen behind the salt and pepper shakers, when i looked at it the table number was written in an ink pen and had clearly got wet at some point so all the ink had run so we didn't even know what the table number would be. We tried to flag down a waitress to check but no-one took any notice. Enough was enough and we got up and left and again no-one seemed to notice."

"Food was nice well priced and good portions. The service was excellent and the staff friendly only downside was the taste of the spaghetti Bolognese was underwhelming and lacked sauce and taste. I think this has been mentioned in a previous review."

"Instant contender for one of my top meals ever. I can't say enough about our meal at HD. It was top level dining from start to finish in all categories. The ambience and service were fantastic and the food was world class. Full disclosure, I had a couple of martinis at the hotel lobby bar (which is also fantastic) before dinner, so that plus the (generous and delicious) wine pairings started to make things a little fuzzy towards the dessert courses... but I can tell you with 100% certainty that despite that this was a night I won't soon forget. I will spare you the dish by dish rundown but each course was an incredible display of technique, beauty, flavor and attention to detail. I mentioned the service earlier, but it can't be overlooked how important they are to the overall experience and at HD they were attentive, knowledgable, friendly, fun, accommodating... I have run out of adjectives, but the staff was superb. Hélène Darroze is playing in the top level culinary sandbox as a three Michelin star tasting menu restaurant and they have proved to me that they can go up against any meal in the world. They nailed it. We were blown away."

"I booked this restaurant on line for 4 people for 4 January 2024 at 6.30 and received an email from the restaurant confirming our booking on the 14 November 2023. We were in London for a couple of days taking in some sites and a show and were looking forward to a nice evening out. We arrived at the restaurant at 6.30 to find that it was closed and were obviously quite confused. We phoned the telephone number on the web site and were told that the restaurant was closed for the Christmas holidays. A very poor show to take a booking on line, confirm the booking and say in the confirmation email that they are looking forward to seeing you when they are going on holiday. Don't trust your email booking. Luckily enough the taxis driver recommended an Italian Restaurant round the corner and we had a lovely meal and great time."

"we visited gusto on request of my sister and her friend. I haven't been for a few years, so I was looking forward to it. at the beginning we were brought to the intermediate level. the restaurant was quite busy, but not in a pull-out wise. gusto has a noble, pvolatile feeling, and you could easily not see that it was part of a chain. After we have a look at the menu, we decided to go for nibbles instead of starter, so went for some olives, garlauch teig leaves and some hummus. then for the net I decided for the Venison Special, my sister went for spaghetti carbonara and her friend, a veggie, went for the sweet and acidic aubergine steak. my sister and I also had a strawberry and vanilla...read more"
