"In the middle of a busy week, I decided to be a little naughty by jumping off the work for a few hours. A quick text to my friend and a finished customer meeting later, I was on my way to a lazy lunch. We had heard about the recent White Swan at Chancery Lane. Mr. Flavour and I were once regular and could not wait to see the new version. Unfortunately for him, he was gone in business, letting the ladies explore in his absence. This former irrigation hole was historically a popular hunt for the Fleet Street press brigade before turning into a Posh pub and dining room. Now again opened as a pub and cophouse, the locals are already coming in the queue. At the entrance we served the delicious flavors from the dining room on the upper floor. However, rule number one of boozy lunch dictates a freky G T must be consumed before eating one. Gin is something the white swan has in abundance! Our sophisticated bartender led us to a Hendrick's gin, served long and chilled with a cucumber band. That's the point! The new chophouse theme was certainly well preserved. The white tablecloths and wallpapers are replaced by trendy exposed brickwork and deep stained wooden tables. This beautiful room is available for private rentals and would be a great place to impress your friends or colleagues. The menu consists of pub favorites, cuts of British finest meat and fresh fish from South Coast Day boats and British fishing ports. If Mr. Flavour had been here, he would have made a hive for the 45-day White Park Sirloin with Béarnaise and big chips. We believed something easier. The salad baked Celeriac, Blue Monday cheese and Kale salad with chestnuts was divine and flavored with a beautiful earthy seasonality. My friend ordered Iron Age “Pick and brawn”, Pickles and English Senf, who came in the form of a terrine. I couldn't resist helping me to a greedy disaster. The Albarinho was certainly a suitable partner for the fish nets to follow. Fluffy fish cakes with peas tomato relish were mouth-watering crispy and burst with horror. I had never ordered Gurnard before and his fleshy texture was beautifully complemented with braided fennel. The big chips were absolutely smashed and made us dessert without room. As much as I enjoy a maid lunch, it's time like this when I miss my pretty man and his inexorable appetite. A quick espresso later I was returned to the office with a spring in my step and a very satisfied belly. I can't wait to introduce my customers to this wonderful new venue, available 7 days a week."

"We visited the restaurant on December 11, 2022, and the hotel receptionist informed us that it was closed. Unfortunately, she didn't provide any further explanation, and when we tried to call, no one answered. We had made a reservation for a busy Saturday, but it did not include the restaurant. Please remove this place from OpenTable when it is closed!"

"Dear [Restaurant Manager's Name], I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share my experience at your establishment, The Allegory, located at 1a Principal Place, Worship Street, London, EC2A 2FA. Unfortunately, my partner and I found our meals to be quite disappointing. My partner's chicken skewers arrived lukewarm and seemed stale, as though they had been sitting out for a while or were reheated. I ordered the vegan taco as a starter, but it was unbearably spicy, making it difficult for me to enjoy the meal afterwards. I question whether it should have been that spicy. For my main course, I chose the vegan curry, which was also lukewarm and unappetizing. I managed to take a few bites but felt embarrassed to leave most of it uneaten, so I requested to take it with me. However, when I exited the restaurant, I was still hungry. Given the total of £42.75, I felt the price was quite steep for a meal that we did not enjoy. I have heard wonderful things about your restaurant and wonder if our experience was just an off day. We were genuinely disappointed in our culinary experience and I felt it was important to provide this feedback. Additionally, I would like to inquire if there might be a possibility of a reimbursement. I attempted to fill out the feedback form on your website, but encountered an error stating, "failed to send your message." Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards, Carmel Farquhar Phone: 07817 620 414"

"Vegetarian Options (Vegan upon request) WHAT WE HAD (3 Pax): 5 A Day £4.75] – Mint, Blackberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, Greek Yoghurt and Apple Juice; Radiant Roots £5.95] – Apple, Carrot, Ginger, Celery and Fennel; Golden Mango £4.50] – Mango, Tumeric, Yoghurt and Almond Milk; Full Veggie (Specially Made Vegan) £8.95] – Beans, Spinach, Mushrooms, Avocado, Grilled Tomato and Toast; Buttermilk Chicken and Waffle £8.95] – Avocado, Sour Cream, Jalapenos and Chilli Maple Syrup I came here for breakfast with my friends as they wanted to try the Buttermilk Chicken and Waffle. I did know that they have vegetarian options from the menu we saw the day before, but wasn’t sure if they had anything vegan. It turns out that they did not have any specifically vegan items on the menu. However, the waitress and kitchen was very accommodating and made modifications to the full veggie breakfast for me. It was your typical full breakfast made vegan that was simple and cooked well with fresh produce. I really appreciate how helpful and accommodating the staff were, especially in answering my questions in assuring me it was vegan. Really made me feel at ease. My friends enjoyed their Buttermilk Chicken and Waffle too which was a good portion too. We all loved the juice and smoothies we ordered as well! We also had a look at their cocktail menu which intrigued us. Excellent customer service, good vibes with the bright and fun décor that is still classy, good food at reasonable prices, I do see myself coming back here for dinner/to try their cocktails if I find myself in Edinburgh again."

"The pre-theater set menu at this restaurant was very good, but unfortunately, our friend arrived at 6:32 and was told it was no longer available. Instead, he had to order a la carte, which resulted in him only getting a soup before going elsewhere for a sandwich. It would have been more profitable for the restaurant to offer the set menu. This was not a good customer experience and hopefully they will improve in the future."

"This used to be a wonderful place to take a rest while visiting Sloane Square, London, however what used to be great customer service, has now all but evaporated no more happy smiles from staff, very slow poor service and a resulting depressed atmosphere. It is sad to see how far this once great place has fallen. I also found out that they DO NOT let you pay your bill with cash considering the deliberate discrimination towards cash users, the complete lack of service from the staff, and the ever high prices I DO NOT recommend anyone use this establishment, especially as there are far better coffees to be had in other local food shop and cafes. I won't be returning to here anytime soon."

"The experience was marred from the start by the service. We were left standing at the wait here to be seated position. At least four members of staff stared straight at us and ignored us. No one came over to advise that a hostess would be along shortly. When a hostess did arrive, she told us we would have the table for one and half hours, which directly contradicts the booking terms on Open Table, which state two hours for a party of four.On being seated, when we asked what the composition was of the cocktail of the month Pornstar Spritz, we were told: is Champagne and some juice. Ignoring that the Champagne reference is incorrect, why can't waiters simply say that they don't know and fetch someone who does?After we replaced that waiter, the service improved, although a request to have roast beef cut from the rarer part of the joint was met with a look of complete confusion. Eventually, having been given a choice of medium or well done, I went with something else. The food was for the most part good, although my baked eggs were added to the dish too early and were consequently hard and the roast beef ordered by another member of the party was so well done that a cobbler would have rejected it. Ambience is good, in that the space is reasonably tasteful, but it is a cavernous hotel lobby space, so if you're looking for something intimate, look elsewhere. Prices are fine.The Riedel glassware is wasted this is never going to feel like a tasteful outing in the West End.The house Champagne is Perrier Jouet, which is better than most"

"The restaurant was not busy, but it took ages to get anyone’s attention and to get served. One of the customers who was sitting next to us made this point to one of the waiters. “We are not a fast food place”, was the waiter’s answer. Is that really acceptable to talk to customers like that? A lady waitress who served us was very pleasant and helpful, the food was good, but even all that combined could not improve the overall impression that The Botanist are doing a favour to their customers by bothering to serve them."

"I booked a meal at Shepherds Restaurant because it was convenient for an event we attended before having lunch because we were attracted by the offer of 25% discount on the whole bill. On balance the food was expensive for what it was. Shepherds pie for instance was priced at £19 or £19.50 came literally as just a small bowl of shepherds pie with no other accompaniment other than a small bottle of Worcester sauce. I found that bemusing because the shepherds pie should surely be tasty moist enough to not require additional Worcester sauce. The shepherds pie did not look very moist a small jug of gravy would have made a good accompaniment the dish. We all had potted shrimps to start but these did not arrive potted but had been turned out on to a slice of toasted brioche. The shrimps were not especially tasty or inspiring. I thought the brioche was too sweet did not pair well with the shrimps. The bread on the table was very tasty would have been better with the shrimps. One of our group ordered the Barnsley lamb chop which arrived with a sprig of rosemary on top but was otherwise totally unaccompanied by sauce, gravy or anything else. The service was a little rushed my friend’s empty wine glass was taken straight from her hand as soon as she had finished drinking without any enquiry as to whether any more wine was wanted. When paying their bill the table next to us who had the same 25% discount offer found their bill was for the full price although it was amended when challenged. The same thing happened to my table being charged the full amount made a difference of £70 ! We challenged the bill it was duly amended, but my dining friends I were not impressed by this. We got the impression that they were trying it on if you were not quick enough to spot that you had not received the discount, you could easily pay the full price. Overall it was a disappointing experience I would not return or recommend Shepherds."

"Shame to arrive at a restaurant advertising mainly steak to find minimal choice, apparently the butcher supplier was on holiday! This information was drip fed as we asked for yet another choice! We were given a table near the chef so assumed we might see some action. The only action we saw was on the part of the chef agonising over spreadsheets for staff availability in the coming week! Didn't help the ambience. Staff did check out food served was ok. However, they could do with learning that rubbing their nose constantly whilst also serving food is very off-putting Expensive meal. Won't be returning."

"Rotunda has the look and feel of one of the larger American or Australian style foods. The beverage menu has many cocktails inspired by Mexican flavors, and the wine list is decent and good. The Easter menu was very substantially, but somewhat inspiring. The meatball starter looked like he had been left under heat too long, and the (Easter) lamb roast was not cooked for perfection. The other appetizers (Ham hock terrine and smoked salmon) seemed to have been a better bet. We also had to ask for additional hardship to go with our Yorkshires who would otherwise have been quite dry. The dessert options were the best part of the meal (cheese board was a little inspiring), with the cheese cake with ginger and Rhabarb being the winner. The service was very good, even if a bit haphazard at times. There is an outdoor area that must be very popular in warmer weather, especially given the location. A TV with football means it could also attract sports fans. Would go back when in the area for drinks and cots, but there is so much to choose from there!"

"beautiful location in st. peters place most with view of the library and the place. we ordered prawn lollipops and squid for beginners who were absolutely divine! our main were beautiful, rib-eye steak boiled to perfection with blue cheese sauce and of course I had to update on cowboy fries! our waiter for the evening was very attentive and recommended a beautiful French red to accompany our head. Overall, I would definitely recommend the anthologist, it is trendy, current and very favorable. what a way to spend your birthday. 5*"

"We prebooked a bottomless brunch special, but the physical menus differ from the online one. We asked our waiter to explicitly (and repeatedly) confirm what we could order as part of the deal only to find our bill £80 more than what we thought it would be. It turned out the items were not part of the special, and it was our fault somehow and the manager wouldn't speak with the waiter to confirm what they had told us despite us asking them to do it twice. Food was fine but it was such a negative end that we cancelled plans to return with a larger group. They've lost out."

"This is a mixed bag. The service we received by Hilary was great she was so nice and always there when you needed her, but sadly she had no back up. There was only two bar men and the place was really busy. We waited over 30 minutes for our first drink and then cancelled our second one and had a coffee as the wait was so long. If you plan to have a good drinking session don’t get too excited. The starters were small but nice, the mains were good but had to send one back as it was over cooked, chicken on a hot grill charred. However they gave us some mac cheese bites which were amazing and when I got my replacement it was lovely. As we left to go there was an incident which we brought to the staffs attention, the manager appeared to be in a hurry to leave and left the staff to deal with it which we thought was unprofessional. Will we visit again, well London has many places wanting business ........"

"Booked a table for breakfast at 10. Turned out it was just the buffet for the normal hotel guests with no option to order from a menu, which felt strange. We sat down at 10 by 10:20 they started clearing everything away we seemed to be the only ones paying vs hotel guests. We got moved at about 10:30 as they wanted to hoover. We were moved into another part of the bar. Just before we got moved we had to chase down a few pastries before they were whisked away. £58 for a few dry pieces of bacon and hard eggs including 2 coffees (cappuccino) so not a budget option either. I would not recommend this at all, staff were friendly but this is not a place for bfast if you’re looking for something nice. Plenty of better options. Tops marks to marketing team making it look nice on the website, shame its a pretty standard hotel buffet in reality."

The waiters were all very nice and friendly and the food didn't take long to come. My only regret is that the resteraunt is not nearer otherwise we would be eating there all the time! The folded eggs and blueberry and banana pancakes were to die for. This place is definitley a hidden gem"

"I sat outside in the courtyard. I was served pretty quickly and my food and drink arrived without much of a wait. I had the quinoa superfood salad withy chicken breast. The food was tasty and nicely presented, the only issue I had was the salad was nearly all leaves with a sprinkle of quinoa. Whilst I’m used to dining in London and therefore I’m aware of the prices, I did think that in excess of £40 for a G&T and some chicken and salad leaves, was a bit expensive. Also once I’d had my food the service dropped off and it took me a while waiting for the bill. Not sure if I would eat here again due to the price. I don’t mind paying London prices as long as I feel I’m getting value for money."

"A hidden gem, incredibly easy to get to but feels a world apart. A very classy renovation of an old estate into a modern hospitality venue, with excellent food and service to match. We visited for my Mum’s birthday celebration and it felt very special indeed. My single disappointment is that the waiters were still wearing masks, which I personally feel diminishes the humanity of service, and is not necessary. Otherwise, top top marks"
