"My mum and I called in to the bar at Poets House on our way home. Despite only having a glass of wine each, we were well-tended too and did not have to wait at all to be served at our table. As always the decor was fantastic and the atmosphere was fantastic. It was also lovely to see the happiness from a 40th party leaving from the function room. Many other people had enjoyed an afternoon tea, and couldn't eat it all. I last visited here for my dad's birthday breakfast- so it was fantastic to experience another time of day."

"enjoyed our evening in james st it was the best culinary experience of our trip! we had been happy to see this evening as we had a few hit-N-seals in the course of our trip to belfast. we were not disappointed and had the fabulous evening. we were quickly welcomed and sitting. the place is beautiful and spacious. revitalized and environment. the bar is great and would like to come back, only for drinks at the bar sometime. we ordered cocktails immediately. an Irish gin negroni and a traditional old fashion. my neger was absolutely excellent. I think the old fashion could have been done with real sugar cubes and not sugar syrup, but it wasn't too bad. we were quick to choose our wein. we chose a beautiful juicy red, the cline, the old vine zinfandel, 2019. to begin we had the ham hock terrine with piccalilli champ bread and some scallops with boar bell. the hanging-hock court was the best ham-hock I had. the homemade piccalilli was something else. really nice crispy and sharp sharp to help cut through the hammock and the champbrot was delicious crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. the scallops and black bells were disappointing, as they lacked no salt or genuine aroma or texture between them. we still ate it and shared the rest of my hammock. we both decided to go for the co. tyrone 270g fillet steak with sides of champ and truffle parmesan chips. red wine and pfeffer sauce. they were fantastic steaks. Actually, I didn't think I would finish mine, but I did. I have met the right choice with the jus and the truffle chips. they went so well together, the dryness of the parmesan and sweet, slightly greasy of the jus. the steaks were perfectly cooked. a medium and my medium rare. fantastic aroma on the grilled outside of the steak and beautiful texture when they pierce. we both agreed that the champ was the best champ we ever cost. it was hot, soft, so well aromatized with hot butter on the top of the copper serving pot melt. it was really the most incredible champ. I was too full of dessert. but my sample ordered the sticky toffee pudding sundae. the team was friendly enough to make me an espresso martini that was both decaf and not a sugar syrup. it was brilliant. we both managed to work our way, although a surprisingly light sticky toast desserts on Sunday. the team was fantastic. very friendly and chatting to us. the bar team did not stop, I had the pleasure of standing and watching them make a great selection of drinks and cocktails. the waiting staff were also very friendly when they check in with us at comfortable places to ensure that we were in order. we felt very well looked around. the service was very good, we didn't feel any hurry, it felt like such a free time in this restaurant. when we come back to belfast, we will be back in absolute terms and we will definitely recommend others. Thank you."

"Excellent food and for a very reasonable price we had the tasting menu and were very happy with our dishes. The atmosphere was nice; busy but not so loud we couldn't hear ourselves. Service was excellent except for one mix up, but the situation was dealt with very well by the staff. We'll definitely come back!"

"Everything was OK but it was a pity we felt so rushed. It's hard to relax and enjoy what one goes to a restaurant for the food, wine and a friend's or friends' company. We were continually asked how we were 'doing'', usually in the middle of a conversation. This became intrusive and irritating. One of the golden rules of good service is that a waiter waits for the appropriate moment to ask if everything is all right if he must. Even when it's done with discretion, I find the habit obtrusive. A good waiter or maitre d' should be able to gauge whether customers are happy and being well looked after without having to constantly ask for confirmation like a needy lover. That said, it was clear that the staff were under pressure to conform to Covid rules and cope with the approaching lockdown. In the circumstances they coped very well. As our last hoorah before a month's lockdown however, our dinner was disappointing and depressingly average. None of this would make me not recommend The Ivy Chelsea Garden. It's a lovely restaurant"

"Took my friend out for her birthday, we arrived 10 minutes early and were told to wait by the bar. Our table was booked for 3.15 and we didn’t get seated until 3.20. Once seated we were left for 25 minutes before I had to call someone over to take our order. No one even came to ask for drinks. I’d understand if there was a lack of staff but the management were stood around chatting and the guy who was serving our section was busy. The food came which was great but again no one came back to check on us, we had an afternoon tea and the tea ran out after one cup each. Again I had to call someone over after trying to get someone’s attention. At this point I was embarrassed as I wanted a nice experience for my friend and it wasn’t, it was slow, messy and the staff were inattentive. My local Ivy in Cardiff has never ever given me an experience like this so I was upset that I didn’t just take my friend there. On a side note, I was told previously that the Ivy is a dog free zone they let a dog into the restaurant in someone’s pram so is this not a country wide rule? Overall I wouldn’t visit again, I’ll stick to my local Ivy. The staff were slow and nothing about the trip was worth the money or special."

"Had a day break in the lovely city of Prague and looked on Tripadvisor for a good restaurant to eat, to celebrate a friends birthday! My word, we weren't disappointed everything from start to finish was superb, the food was exquisite, the service was top class, the staff polite, friendly extremely professional, the ambience atmosphere was delicate and the champagne was far superior to what you get in the UK!. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Prague"

"Chain restaurant of impeccable quality. Young friendly staff, rustic decor, outstanding menu and good ambience. The seats are comfortable and well spaced out. The bathroom facilities are elaborate and eccentrically decorated, but are very clean. Unfortunately the bathroom facilities are downstairs which can be a issue if you are not mobile or are frail. The food is of exceptional quality. Reasonably priced. And presented like works of art. The chefs are excellent. You will never have a disappointing experience at this restaurant. Everyone should come here. Opening hours are extensive and the menus cater for this. This is one of the best restaurants in london."

"This restaurant is set within the Marriott Hotel. On arrival it was very quiet and could've done with some background music. We were warmly greeted by the manager. The menu offers a nice selection and some different dishes. Our waitress was very nervous as it was her first week, we really felt for her. She didn't know the soup of the day, and had to ask about what the dishes included. She really could've done with some training and help from her supervisor. Our wine arrived and we weren't offered to sample it and then they left it for us to pour ourselves. We wouldn't expect this from this type of venue. The food was lovely but the prices and service charge made it a very expensive affair."

"The Ivy Brasserie chain is consistently good and so was this branch. However we found the reception staff unaccommodating the table they'd allocated us was very close to other tables, in a noisy, draughty part of the restaurant they could easily have re seated us, with lots of other tables empty, especially as we were only going to be 75 minutes, a pre theatre booking. The food was good (though expensive for what it is over £5 for salted bread?! , the decor lovely, very Christmassy. However the noise levels were high and the tables all crammed too close to each other for the sake of losing one table, the place would feel so much better. Not all the Ivy Brasseries do this."

"Overall, my experience was quite disappointing. I made a reservation for six people, but when we arrived, the staff informed us that they no longer use OpenTable for bookings and had no record of our reservation. It was frustrating to see that the restaurant was only half full. To add to the disappointment, they told us they weren't serving Sunday roasts and suggested we try the other restaurant in the hotel, called Zest, which we ended up doing. It's clear that someone needs to take action and remove this restaurant from the site."

"Terrible experience. Table booked for 9pm but when we arrived it wasn't ready. They led us to the bar to wait there but the bar was full. So they seated us in the DJ booth for over 15 minutes. There were menus on the tables but no one came to take our order. The music was blasting so we couldn't have a conversation. Eventually we got our table. We ordered and tried to get out of there as quickly as possible as we couldn't talk. Why management are trying to turn a restaurant into a club is beyond me. There were a lot of older folks around and I don't think that was their vibe either. Food was mediocre at best. Wouldn't order the burger again."

"We had a wonderful belated celebration for my sister's birthday at this restaurant. The strawberry decorations outside were truly amazing, and the staff's aprons were absolutely brilliant. We enjoyed two glasses of prosecco, a burger with chips, and a shepherds pie. Without even asking, a bottle of Worcester Sauce appeared, which was a nice touch. The staff were incredibly charming and we definitely recommend this place."

"Thoroughly disappointing! We booked at the hotel because there was a nice restaurant attached. We booked a table, when we checked in at 2pm we had our table booking confirmed for 6.30pm. Upon arrival to the restaurant it was all in darkness, a member of staff came to tell us it was closed after an emergency that had happened this morning and we could sit in the bar. The only tables available in the bar were low ones with big lounge chairs..not the seating for a meal! We don't go out very often so was planning on going all out with this meal, 3 courses, wine etc. Not at a lounge chair though. No one told us about the change to our booking. No one had reserved us a table in the bar. I went to reception desk where I was met with a very hostile member of staff who merely shrugged when I asked why no one had let us know about our booking. He didn't care. I felt really sad as like I said, going out is a rarity for us, and we were really looking forward to having a nice romantic dinner. Because of the lack of interest, and suitable seating we decided to get an Uber Eats delivered and had it in our room. Awful service. I presume the same kitchen produces the breakfasts in the morning.. which was delivered to our room over an hour late and stone cold. Such a shame as the location is stunning. Customer service needs work."

"Overall very good indeed. Staff great: the attentive service managed to combine pleasant, friendly with professional efficiency. The venue is comfortable and airy with interesting décor, the facilities all well-appointed and sparkling clean. Good food demonstrating an attentive attitude to choice and tempting combinations. Portion control is obvious without being sparse just . The green vegetables were quite simply perfect, demonstrating high kitchen skills. Jolly good triple-cooked-chips. My main, a beef cheek Cottage Pie £3 supplement for some reason! was pleasant but really needed a gravy or sauce. We shall return."

"I took a Valentine menu with so-called 2 courses. I thought I could take a main dish and a dessert. it also means 2 courses. I was surprised that only I got the bill, there was a misunderstanding that no one explained before....what the problem to take a main dish and dessert?.so finally it was more expensive than expected. I was very disappointed. it was not mentioned in the menu"

"A nice venue, with a view across Cardiff Bay. It serves good food and service was OK. I found the seating, woven wicker style patio chairs, not to be the most comfortable, as they only have a seat cushion and they re designed to have a back rest cushion. (I know this because I have similar at home) The grinder cruet sets were quite new and I found that they were difficult to operate. My wife was unable use them at all. Other than that, we enjoyed our meal and left pleasantly full!"

"The Grand was absolutely amazing! The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive to our needs. Mariana, who handled our booking, went above and beyond to meet our requirements. On the day we visited, Romana took care of our large group of 20 girls, and everything was perfect. I can't praise Romana enough; she was the best hostess we could have asked for. She managed everything flawlessly, and we felt well taken care of throughout our visit. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality!"

"Stayed here many times over the years I even celebrated my wedding here so last night was such a huge let down for me. Service started off great with drinks order taken immediately on being seated and after a while food orders were taken. When the food came out it was wrong, my friends’ food had everything on the dish that she had specified she didn’t want, eventually got the attention of a waitress who took it away. I was left slowly eating my food for 25 minutes before the replacement meal arrived for my friend . My food was now cold so I didn’t eat it. Getting the attention of staff was a problem all through the night even though there were plenty of them around at one point there were more staff than guests. Dessert was fine. Such a disappointing evening for a 5 star hotel, and a let down for my birthday celebration."
