"Delightful experience in a lovely space with attentive staff. The salmon starter for lunch was good but the black pudding was excellent: balanced, rich flavours and textures, all very skilfully presented. The vegetables with the mains were especially well thought out and executed the venison and ox cheek superb, tender with a real depth of flavour. The cod gratin main was luminous and the warm vegetarian option of the beetroot with greens and a goat cheese mousse with toasted almonds was a particular joy. Very good chocolate tart with stewed pear, ice cream on a crumb. This was a great combination of flavours and textures, though my preference would have been for more of a ganache than a mousse consistency. There is so much attention to detail in every element of the meal, down to the type of pastry chosen for the case of the chocolate tart. Excellent for a special occasion. If you’re on a budget, go for lunch rather than dinner as it is (very rightly) expensive."

"my place of stay here in london offers me easy access to three practical stations. these are victoria, pimlico and westminster. Nevertheless, I find myself ventilated and then try some of the local cuisine here. time out london was so generous to mark the contrary as “a gastronomic desert, ridden with soulless chains and not much more”. that is not completely untrue. Chalkboard menus, friendly staff and community wood tables immediately recommend pimlico fresh is different. I found a seat (it is packed) and contemplated the options. I have swallowed the green eggs and speck on toast option (for about £7). they go a little bit nuts on cherry tomato, but the plate is a very happy. a good smush of avocado, perfectly roasted eggs and speck. with the correct amount of Runny-Yolk under a stream of pesto. the ratio of strokes to brot is very appealing. a little salt and pfeffer helped to finish the aromen and I was a more satisfied place."

"At the arrival we had to wait as they couldn't find the booking. When ordering one of my guest asked to have the chicken breast without sweetcorn and after the waiter came back saying the chef explained the sweetcorn is the main ingredient in the menu as it's cooked 3 ways and not having sweetcorn would alter the original taste of the recipes, my guest asked if something else could be added instead. When the food was delivered the staff didn't ensure we had everything we needed, salt and pepper were missing and a check back wasn't given throughout the dinner. The chips were dry and far overcooked, the RibEye was uneatable, the duck breast was tough, chewy and overcooked, the haddock dish was oversalted. Everything was a complete disappointment and not worthy all that money!"

"We stayed one night, with dinner, bed and breakfast and everything was just perfect. The inn itself is an old and interesting building; staff are friendly and efficient; good choice of real ales and delicious food. Our room was quaint, clean and had everything we needed. I will happily stay again. Thank you team Harvard Inn!"

"Victors have changed it is more like a tapas style restaurant where dishes arrive at different time. Just very unorganised some people in the party received their food 30 minutes after the rest of the party had finished. Waitress was nice and very pleasant but the kitchen were unable to accommodate any slight change to a dish. Wouldn’t go back or recommend."

"This was on a Sunday and there is a very wide sea based menu in terms of crab, prawn, scampi, and lobster sadly there was no sea fish today as far as we could find (the fish of the day was salmon). There were standard ‘Sunday lunches if that is your bag! We had the kipper pâté (which was excellent and generous) with what was described as artisanal bread this divided the 2 diners it was brown with grains but was very light and airy The chips served with the fishcakes were good and hot, the fishcakes obviously had salmon and a white fish and were nice enough. The salad appears to be bagged leaves with a commercial fruity dressing Somewhat saddened that there was no fresh saltwater fish on the menu in a place like Craster."

"Only a 15 minute drive from my house now l know where to go for outstanding food. Both myself and my wife were astounded with how delicious the food was. It was nice to have time between courses where we didn't feel rushed unlike some other restaurants that we've been to. We will be bringing family and friends there to dine whenever possible."

"After receiving confirmation from OpenTable with the code 822102241, my wife and I arrived at the restaurant last night at 7:20. Despite our reservation, we were told we did not have a booking. After refusing to sit at a coffee table in the lounge, the manager was able to find us a table in the restaurant and offered us a complimentary drink to salvage the situation. However, our troubles did not end there. When we ordered the beef, we were not asked how we wanted it cooked and had to send it back because it was too rare. Our dessert took 30 minutes to arrive, prompting us to ask the staff if there was an issue. Finally, my wife had to ask for a glass of wine 15 minutes after initially requesting it. Despite some minor issues, we were still charged an additional 10% for the lackluster service. We have been patrons of this restaurant for over 20 years, both as a couple and in larger groups. However, after last night's experience, we are unlikely to return. In recent years, there have been new establishments in the area that offer comparable or even superior service. Last night's service at the restaurant was truly disappointing for what should have been a special occasion."

"Good. but I was disappointed recently. one of their best meals is steal cake. I ordered this with chips and it came in a smaller bowl than usual, but, surprisingly, the steak was on a bed of kartoffels and the inherited were under this I suspect that the amount of steak that was needed to display the schirr, but I asked for chips, not chips and masche."

"We arrived here for a 2 night stay for a wedding (Fri sat night). PROS: Lynsey the manageress she 100% makes it so fabulous. Lovely, welcoming, looked after us brilliantly. Due to some staff shortages, she was doing what seemed like 10 jobs at once! We ate on one of the nights food was delicious! Great service tasty food. Breakfast was also spot on set us up brilliantly for the day ahead on the Saturday! The Willow room which we stayed in was fab ideal size, lovely cosy too! The whole 2 night stay was extremely reasonably priced the place itself has a great feel about it like a big cosy house! CONS: If you like total darkness, take an eye mask for sleeping as the rooms can get really bright from the early hours. Also, depending on the room, it’s on quite a busy road so can be quite nosy it would be worth having earplugs if you like a quiet surrounding. Due to staffing, the bar doesn’t stay open that late, so be mindful of this, they will however put drinks in your room if you can’t make it back in time for the bar closing. Taxis there are no local taxis, so arranging transport to the wedding we were attending was a nightmare which we didn’t account for! Luckily after 6 different phone calls, we managed to get sorted. The only gripe I had was the confusion over the bill if you decide to charge things to your room, the bills aren’t itemised so it’s difficult to keep track of what has been charged. There was some confusion on checkout over what we should shouldn’t have been charged for, so definitely choose to pay for any extras outright to avoid any confusion or uncertainty before check out. Other than that, it was one of the nicest, most personal stays we’ve had out in a long long time. This was mainly down to the Manageress Lynsey who is fabulous at her job really does make it feel like home makes you feel super welcomed relaxed. Thank you lynsey for really making a stay a one to remember."

"This is a really nice restaurant whose lunch menu provides great value for money. While it's not made clear on the lunch menu itself, you get both a starter and a main for £9. The portions were good sizes and we all thought it was really delicious and authentic tasting food. This is one place where we will definitely go to again. The ambience is nice and the waitstaff we had was attentive and friendly."

"Warm friendly welcome, table ready prepared for us. Excellent food, the choice was from an extensive menu and all the food was lovely and well presented. Nice atmosphere in the dining room, which was busy. The only slight drawback was the service....although we realised that some guests (ourselves included actually) were known to the staff who chatted to them... we would have appreciated this rather more if we had been given our drinks first! But the quality of all the food was really very good indeed, and no doubt we shall return again soon."

"It’s a nice pub with a good feel to the place. The staff were polite and efficient. We unfortunately had table 5 which is next to an old chimney. There was a cold breeze coming from it so we sat with our coats over our knees and pulled the table away from the metal hood which because it was overhanging the table meant that the cold air dropped onto the table surface and wafted across the top, cooling our hands and potentially our meals, had we not pulled it away. Most of the meals were tasty but the squash arancini were under-seasoned and the squash in them tasteless. A vegan apple crumble might have been good but the addition of mango put us off. It wasn’t cheap, worked out at £33 a head, with two courses being eaten and two out of 4 of us on soft drinks, but I guess the cost of living increases have hit everywhere. We’d probably go again, but wouldn’t rush back."

"I had the pleasure of being served breakfast by Faith during my stay at the Dakota Hotel, and I must say that her service was exceptional. Faith was not only attentive but also incredibly helpful throughout my stay. She went above and beyond to ensure that I had a wonderful dining experience each morning. Her warm and friendly demeanor added a special touch to my stay, making it truly memorable. I greatly appreciate her dedication to providing outstanding service, and I highly recommend Faith to anyone visiting the Dakota Hotel. Thank you, Faith, for making my stay so enjoyable!"

"Visited TDH on a Sunday. Got seated immediately. We ordered a roast dinner platter with all the trimmings and lamb shoulder for £100. On the pricier side. This platter is good for 3 people. It was so delicious but slightly over oily. The cabbage and sprouts are to die for! The meat falls off the bone is tender and juicy. I ordered a champagne cocktail expecting it to be a bellini or something creative but it was underwhelming and literally a glass of sparkling wine with a brown sugar cube plopped at the bottom of the glass. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. They kept checking up on us to see if we needed anything if the food was good. Drink service was veryyyy slow. Interior is so pretty! I would go again to try their seafood; I've heard great things"

"Absolutely beautiful Sunday lunch!Some great waiting team members as well, although one who welcomed us was incredibly moody and had her phone hanging out between her boobs which was very unprofessional and let it down about!! Great food and calm atmosphere when quiet/ fantastic atmosphere when busy. Really pretty lighting and cosy booths there too!!"

"I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The lunch menu had limited choices and the prices were high considering the quality and portion sizes for my three young children. The adult meal I ordered, which consisted of tasteless soup and a cheese sandwich on stale white bread with a small amount of lettuce, cost £11, which I found outrageous. The total bill came to £60.50, and when I complained to the staff about the disappointing meals, I was only offered a £5 discount, the price of the soup. The manageress did not seem interested in addressing my concerns. I usually don't complain when dining out, but in this case, I felt that the lunch options and prices at this otherwise beautiful hotel were a letdown."

"I booked a table for 7 people at 7pm online. I received instant online confirmation as well as an email to confirm our booking. When we arrived the staff said they had no record of the booking. The restaurant was only half full so they were able to seat us anyway. It was a Sunday and we had primarily chosen the venue as their Sunday roast sounded good and was served until 9pm. As we sat down we were told they had run out of Yorkshire puddings. Within 10 minutes they came and took the Sunday menu away and said it was now unavailable but we could still order from the standard menu. My mother in law asked if it was possible to swap chips for mashed potatoes with the pie and was told no, the mashed potato portions were already allocated to other meals. At this point we left. The staff did try and seemed sympathetic but were annoyed when we left as they had poured out a couple of the drinks order. The restaurant looked like a good place it was a nice setting but the menu was expensive and other diners could be heard complaining they had been waiting a long time even though they weren't busy. We were understandably really disappointed with the whole experience."

"this was our first time at Reid’s. eating was really nice, steak was slightly underboiled (for medium rare, but less rare). my cocktail came after our starters arrived. I had to ask twice for the cocktail. the service was really poor, had to ask twice for the drink. when our head arrived, they forgot the garlic bread, so we had to ask and also had to ask for steak knives. the waiter didn't seem really interested. there were 3 large groups, however, so that we gave them the advantage of the doubt. not sure we're coming back."
