"Dinner with three friends turned into a memorable reunion. Lobster ravioli was the star first course. Difficult to pick a winner from the mains. The bouillabaisse, the lamb rump, vegetarian curry and rump steak were all delicious and well presented. The wine list is exceptional both in terms of its range of interesting wines from boutique producers around the world as well as its pricing which encourages the selection of wines at the more expensive end. We chose a very good German blauburgunder which was a great expression of this grape. The sommelier is a very knowledgeable and passionate enthusiast who is a sad loss to the Green Room. He is to be congratulated on what has been achieved here"

"Had tried this as a result of good reviews. Sad to say the actual experience was somewhat rather less than this. My friend, who had been there before, did agree that this was much less than previously experienced. Perhaps the 'real ' chef had over-worked on Valentine 's Day . Doubt that we will be returning, as there are other more lovely places [riverside for example] with better food options and way better parking."

"The first time we went we age from the lunch menu with the 3 courses for £18 option I really enjoyed my starter, the short rib had a beautiful barbecue taste and the pickeled mustard seeds added a fantastic texture and a beautifuly sharp contrast to the meat. I felt like the crispy shallots didn't add much other than texture, maybe more would've helped. Presentation wise I loved the jar the ribs came in For the main course at @alstonmanchestr I opted the Tweed Valley 250g rump steak which was served with garlic butter and fries on the side. The rump was a £3 surcharge to the set menu, I could've had a flat iron steak for no extra charge but I couldn't do that to myself. The steak was so perfect, I asked for mine rare which did not disappoint. The meat was thick and tasty. I enjoyed the fries but I would've preferred chips, also if I wasn't having 3 courses I would've grabbed some veg on the side. For Dessert I enjoyed Dark berries and gin tart with almond ice cream. This was a great end to my meal, the gin undertoned the sharp Berry flavours and wasn't overpowering. The pastry was firm and sweet. and I enjoyed the dessicated almond on the ice cream provided a nice texture. Our second visit we ate in the evening from the a la carte Starter Courgette and corn fritters with chilli tzatziki did not disappoint, they smelt very aromatic and were nice and crispy. The flavours were great but the main event had to be the chilli tzatziki underneath, it tasted incredible Main I had decided a few days before that I deserved a T bone as it had been a while since I had one. This one was 500g and served with either chips, mash or veg, and a choice of sauce. I opted for chips and I decided to try the bone marrow butter which did not disappoint. All the Tweed Valley steaks at Alston are hand selected by a master butcher from the best cattle that's been fed grass and barley My steak, served rare, was perfect and in true T bone fashion got less cooked in the center so I was pretty much eating a live cow..mmmmm. The seasoning on the seared meat was gorgeous and with that bone marrow butter spread on it was taken to a next level"

"This was a lockdown dinner with reduced tables inside and all of the staff wearing masks. Social distancing was excellent. We took some options from the specials menu which were fine but not amazing. We also ordered a bottle of Fleurie which was really sharp (but not off). I mentioned it to the waitress after a couple of sips. They were happy for us to change the bottle of wine to a different one. Technically they didn't need to do it so that was impressive. Overall a good experience"

"After years of contemplating, we finally made our first visit to this restaurant. We decided to splurge on a joint boarding party meal and it was well worth it. Despite the lack of luxurious decor, we found the atmosphere to be very relaxing and comfortable. The restaurant was bustling with customers, but the food was exceptional and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in this unique and locally-owned establishment. We would definitely recommend it, however, it is unfortunate that the restaurant is closing today (28/7/2017) as one of the owners is retiring. This might explain the large number of diners who are seizing their last chance to dine here. I'm sure it will be missed."

"Lot of hype on the Christmas special menu and we a team of 20+ colleagues went for team dinner. Most of the colleagues expressed their food was just okay ! Staff were trying their best but they are young and need to pay more attention to guests No space for parking as this on the main road closed by a junction in Esher. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner"

"you need to remember that this place is a chain and therefore many of the dishes will be produced at other place massiw, some chains dress that good, some would not and would not suggest côte. the quid was beautiful, nothing more than nice, the duck was again beautiful, but certainly strongly spiced. I had dessert a chocolate lover and it was the court that deliberately abandoned the “prepared off-site”. it came within a few minutes of ordering, it would simply be thrilled to warm up just because it is not possible to cook a fondant in this time. decor is pleasant and service was good. would I come back? probably not, but that was said it was pleasant."

"we were recommended to go to candlelight inn for dinner by Sarah-Jane martin from the belfry at yarcombe and wow I am glad that she did. the service was absolutely amazing, we felt appreciated and appreciated, many smiles and very attentive. the location is beautiful and everyone seems to know each other, which means they have regular customers. if I lived near, I would go back. I had the best veggie burger ever! I have to go back. I had to ask for their social media contacts so I could recommend them to everyone. the candlelight inn and the belfry at yarcombe were certainly the highlight of my birthday weekend. please come by when they are in the opposite. Five."

"Before anything the tables are greedily close together so it’s like you’re sat next to the table next to you. They’re also tiny. We couldn’t have a starter and a drink. Even the person who hosted us commented that the tables are small (we hadn’t said a thing) and they worked there. The food: my mum had a chicken dish and I had a vegan burger. The food came up and my burger and chips were cold. So I asked them to please be reheated. They returned cold. Before I’d stated it wasn’t the most appealing looking dish but by now plenty of time had passed and I’d lost my appetite so I sent it back. We realised that the kitchen is a weather spoons style submarine ride down a narrow flight of stairs and the people bringing the food have to wait for the people using the bathrooms to pass. Which was why my food likely got cold (my mum’s didn’t). Now the staff did waive my meal (rightly so) and our drinks (2 teas) and did offer to make something else, but I was so put off. That was decent. However they kept saying “we have a large party in tonight” and blaming it on that. If a large party books a private room in a restaurant, the restaurant know plenty of time in advance. This isn’t an acceptable reason for cold and unappealing food. Poor, wouldn’t recommend nor will I use a Cote again."

"We had spa treatments lined up for the afternoon and lunch with a glass of bubbles was included in the package. We were shown to our table and given menus and a wine list. With lunch being part of the package I had to leave my seat and check with the maitre de as to what was actually included rather than being advised when seated. With the option of two courses each, I went for starters and main and my wife went for main and desert. I chose the crispy Parma ham with poached egg followed by the Moroccan Lamb and my wife chose the herb gnocchi followed by the Creole fruit salad. Not much could criticised about my starter other than the poached egg was over cooked but my Moroccan Lamb was far from Moroccan. The lamb sat on a bed of plain couscous surrounded by grilled peppers, courgette and aubergine which were described as Provençal but there was no hint of tomato to be found. The lamb was plain with no hint of any spices. I question the term “Moroccan Lamb”. The herby gnocchi appeared to be fried and tasted more like a bland bubble and squeak. The lemon mascarpone was ok. Finally, the “Creole fruit salad” was nothing more than pineapple and orange segments with some coconut shavings and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We even found pips left in some of the orange segments. All in all a very disappointing and lack lustre lunch but thankfully the treatments were good."

"we have my wife's birthday. first, the service in this restaurant is always fantastic. we go every year. I had a grilled sea roast and it was absolutely delicious. really beautiful balance of aromen (although it didn't need the tapenade, as beautiful as it was). we believe that this last visit was on the big one and that the muddles were not their usual plump greek, so this time I gave a 4* for eating. Calamari-Starter is always my target and it hasn't disappointed me. my daughter had a filet steak and she said it was delicious big visit, it was worth it for the service alone"

"My first visit to LayaLina was on Valentine's Day and it was surprisingly quiet with only two other couples present during the two hours we were there. The food was excellent, although we were limited to the Valentine's set menu. The waitress did allow me to order one item from the a la carte menu, but unfortunately one of the dessert options was not available. This was disappointing considering the restaurant's quiet atmosphere and the fact that it was a set menu. The Valentine's set menu was priced at £85 per person, whereas on any other day the same choices would have cost £60 per person. I found the markup to be excessive and unnecessary."
"Good food as usual, I had my favourite steak frites (without awful black pepper)… and plum clafouti to follow. My cousin had the Breton fish stew, I’d have liked to try this but for some reason they seem to want to ruin every fish dish by putting chilli in it."

"I ordered a hamburger medium rare. It came well done. I pointed it out to the waiter who claimed We can 't make it medium rare . said Why didn 't you tell me when I placed the order Waiter replied. It says so on the menu . I asked to see the menu. There was no such statement on the menu. I asked to see the manager. He said I 'm the manager . I was not offered a replacement or refund even though I had taken only one bite. The staff treat the customers like they are idiots. My daughter 's fish stew was the only redeeming feature."

"The atmosphere was amazing. The jazz was fabulous and made the evening. We ordered our food and within less than five minutes it was delivered to our table. I would assume it was microwaved. It tasted okay but was nothing special. We ordered tart Tarim for pudding And it looked like microwaved slop on a plate. Albeit it tasted okay presentation was not good. Thank Melvin for the jazz it was wonderful."
