"Disappointing, especially for the price. We arrived for a booking on time only to be told after chasing staff that our table wasn't ready. After standing around for approximately 20mins, we had to follow up with the staff again only to be told it would be another minute. We weren't the only ones waiting around, there were quite a few others. Some of the staff appeared dismissive but others were polite and apologetic. The food was average but the setting was nice."

"After making a reservation online, the restaurant staff promptly seated us and provided top-notch service with friendly and attentive servers. The food was delectable and beautifully presented, making for an enjoyable dining experience. The cozy and inviting ambiance added to our overall satisfaction, and we would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. Despite a minor mix-up at the beginning, our experience was fantastic."

"The Last Visit. Many moons ago we were big fans of the Battersea branch and frequent, and always satisfied, visitors. However, last night's experience at the larger Balham branch will be our last to either Gazette. In summary, the food continues to be lardy French and delicious but the service and whole experience left a bitter taste in the mouth. This place has set its stall out and for what you're paying, one would expect more. Booked table for 9.15, only to find that table was given away (without apology, just a we didn't know how long your wife was going to be even though they had been told a couple of mins). When a table did free up we were offered a tiny table right by the glass...read more"

"A good gastropub is a fantastic find, and Newman Street Tavern has quickly become my new favorite spot. Located on the corner of Newman Street and Goodge Street, it's perfect for a meal out with friends or a romantic dinner for two. With two floors, it's a stylish, bustling and intimate venue, with a team of welcoming waitstaff who make you feel right at home. The menu is full of tempting appetizers, mains, and desserts, not to mention a selection of sides, Neal's Yard Dairy cheeses, and a seafood menu available all day. We struggled to decide what to order, so we turned to our waiter for recommendations - the choice was just too difficult. The Devon crab salad was a feast for the eyes, with a generous mound of white crab meat surrounded by... (continued on Yelp)"

"Very disappointed with this place. The service was very slow and all over the place. They looked massively understaffed with only 3 waitresses serving the room from what I could see. That said, the waitress we had was very good but was never going to be able to provide the service you’d expect with a restaurant so busy. One of the main courses arrived 10 minutes after the others (which had to be chased), and they missed part of the order as well which we had to remind them off. Worst of all was the steak tartare. It’s a dish I love and often select this when eating out. I have to say that this was just the worst ever a pile of mush with an awful texture and tasted just as bad. It was as though they had put this in a blender and left it for a few days. I actually started feeling ill a few hours afterwards and didn’t feel right until the following day."

"Yeah, 3 stars due to service just not being nice. Very little attempt at friendly banter with a group of 8. Overselling on side dishes when it wasn’t needed. No interest in repouring expensive wine or asking if we wanted more bottles when we finished first ones before main course. Food was not bad. Vibe was not really existent- these guys are phoning everything in and it shows."

"Visited as a family of four for the first time and must say we were not disappointed. The food was excellent. of us had the course lunch menu which was extremely good value with no compromise on presentation or taste. My husband had the steak which he said was one of the best he’s ever had.The staff were very friendly and attentive. Very nice to chat with one of the chefs after our meal.The mocktails were also very good!We will be visiting again next time we are in town"

"The restaurant at the airport hotel has a spacious and inviting atmosphere that helps patrons temporarily escape the fact that they are dining at an airport hotel. The food is top-notch and we enjoyed a memorable last dinner together after 10 days of traveling through Italy."

"We were given this as a Christmas gift from sister. Very friendly staff greeting. Service very prompt. Food good,not as hot as it could be. Although described as a "traditional "roast it 's not, as the meats are not from a roasted joint. However, the meat , whatever method it was cooked was very good! Puddings delicious especially the ice-cream, which the waitress said was the chef 's own made!"

"Me and my husband took our 2 children down The Bull for lunch a few Saturdays ago. Excellent for the kids as have play area, children's booths and had a bouncy castle that particular weekend. Love how accommodating they are for children.... slush puppies, popcorn, mocktails, icecream, fab kids menu etc. We had a nice bit of food too, love the summer grill menu. Place was well maintained and clean. Staff were very friendly. Bit of a wait at the outdoor bar but what do you expect on a Saturday when the weather is lovely! Will be returning soon, thank you for a great afternoon!!!"

We have been many times and will continue to return often"

"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."

"If you've been keeping up to date with recent blog posts you'll know that I've recently started a new job and left my beloved Soho behind. Okay, so Fitzrovia is hardly a million miles away, but it means I've got a whole load of new restaurants and cafés to explore. Yesterday evening I began doing just that when I visited Bellaria for a spot of dinner. My sister has worked up in this area for a while and so I let her pick the restaurant and she booked Bellaria as they're currently offering a off starters and mains deal on toptable . The deal didn't include items listed as signature dishes' but we were informed by the waiter that if we did want to order any of these they'd be off. What a great deal! The small restaurant sits on the corner of Great Titchfield St and Langham Street directly opposite another Italian which I'm yet to investigate. The dining room has quite a classic decor with clean white table cloths suggesting perhaps a bit more of an upmarket experience tha"

"the Christmas dinner has enjoyed us very much. for the first time eat in a restaurant for christmas and that supplied. also cocktails were pleasant. the food was enjoyed by all, we ordered various things - everyone remained happy and full. the music selection was perfect that we sing together, also perfect loudness. we asked about the type of caviar, they had no warning, but tried to say they did. would have been better to just say we don't know. more appropriate space between the guests so that we felt comfortable and had space to enjoy private sphere while in a common environment. would definitely be rebooking. might have listed the circumcisions for the most important courses on the Christmas menu before they were different depending on the meat they ordered, but was a beautiful surprise and delicious both."

"Hello to the team who were working today. This is just to say a big THANK YOU for the lovely lunch and service we received today whilst celebrating my parents 66th Wedding Anniversary. The food was delicious, my mother hasn't eaten a 3 course meal for about 2 years, she did today! (My sea bass was lovely...and the sauce! It was a great surprise and a delightful touch to have their desserts served on a specially decorated platter, thank you so much, the perfect end to a lovely meal. I must also add that the staff couldn't have been more kind and helpful, we moved table, took ages to make decisions, we never felt rushed and always felt looked after. Thank you, we will definitely be visiting again! (Dad's 90 in March! Best wishes, Sarah Carter"

"My wife and I have been to the County Kitchen a few times for their Sunday Carvery. So why, you may ask have I only given the County Kitchen 3 stars and entitled my review as lacks consistency? Well the title does say it all, it isn 't that the food and service and surroundings are bad its just that as a complete package it...........lacks consistency. Perhaps I should explain rather than repeating myself Our table was crammed in with others in the small conservatory/veranda area. It felt cramped as we were against a pillar and so close to at least 6 other diners that it felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming, especially as the rest of the restaurant was empty. Moving on to our food. We opted for starters, followed by the carvery. My wife 's starter crab haddock fishcake, with chive hollandaise was presented nicely and according to her very nice but lacked flavour . Mine was pork belly terrine and chutney my comments mirror those of my wife 's. Lacked seasoning and flavour, but looked nice. I echo Greg Wallace 's thoughts on Masterchef the other day..... ...would rather have something that tastes good rather than a dish that just looks pretty... Now the carvery you have a choice of at 3 roast meats plus vegetables and if you feeling really hungry there isn 't a limit to the number of times you can go back. But for most appetites 1 visit is enough. Being a little greedy I had a couple of slices of port with yummily crisp crackling) and some beef. The carver described the beef as medium rare my preference) but it was more like medium to well done so it was a bit tough and chewy shame as it looked a fantastic joint of beef). That finally put an end to our meal, we paid our bill £59.95 incl bottle of wine, and starters) and left. I have to say that this hasn 't been our experience on other occasions, so perhaps its was just an off day. Will we go back? Probably, but we won 't be rushing back. Its not a bad place, it just.....lacks consistency!"

"This restaurant was absolutely worth 5 stars! The outstanding service, the fabulous food and the stunning location with views of Pulteney Bridge and the River Avon. The inside of the restaurant had beautiful beams and fairy lights too. I had the lamb ragu which was cooked to perfection, the lamb fell apart in my mouth and the pasta was al dente, the sauce and portion size was perfect! My husband loved the pork and my son also loved his pizza, we tried bits of eachothers and agreed this was definitely some of the best food we have eaten. We also had the selection of meats and cheese, olives and bread which was excellent. The calamari and monkfish was delicious and again portion size was spot on. The chocolate souffle was cooked perfectly too. The chefs did a fantastic job with the food and should be commended !"

"we came to dinner on 6/1/23 eating was a good quality, drinks were good and we were allowed to taste wine before we walk a bottle. cocktails were also great. both had the ripped eyes, cooked as we wanted and were happy to eat. came here for a jubilee and were pleasantly surprised with a small cake and "happy anniversary" written in chocolate on the plate. the service was punctual and every waiting period was completely fair. all staff were polite and friendly. would like to mention a special mention to times that was very friendly and took the time to chat with us a bit during our dinner. he recognized his time when it was calm and had a nice chat with him. overall a great experience highly recommended."
