"meanwhile through a busy week, I decided to be a little bit cheeky by jumping off the work for a few hours. a quick text to my friend and a finished customer meet later, I was on the way to a lazy lunch. we heard the buzz over the recently reworked white swan at chancery lane. herr flavour and I were once regular and could not wait to see the new version. Unfortunately for him he was gone on the business and let the ladies explore in his absentness. this former irrigation hole was historically a popular hot spot of the fleet street pressebrigade before it turned into a posh pub and dining room. now again opened as pub and cophouse, the natives are already in the waiting line to come. at the entrance were the delicious aromen from the dining room to sue us up. rule number one of the lazy lunches dictates, however, that a frecher g t has to be consumed before eating in a sleepy manner. gin is something that the white **** has in full! our sophisticated bartender led us to a Hendrick ginn, served long and chilled with a gurkenband. this is the point! the new chophouse theme was certainly well received. past are the white tablecloths and wallpapers, replaced by trendy exposed bricks and deep wooden tables. this beautiful room is available for private rental and would be a great place to impress your friends or colleagues. the menu consists of pub favorites, cuts from British finest meat and fresh fish from south coast day boats and British fishing ports. if mr. flavor had been here, he would have made a beeenstock for the 45-day white park sirloin with béarnaise and large chips. we believed a little easier. the salt baked celeriac, blue monday cheese and kale salat with chestnuts was divine and flavored with a beautiful earthy seasonality. my friend ordered iron age ‘Pick and Brunch’, pickles and English senf, which came in the form of a terrine. I could not resist helping me to a greedy unhappiness. the albarinho was certainly a suitable partner for following the fishing nets. fluffy fishcake with fertile tomatenrelish were mouth-watery crunchy and bursting with terribleness. I had never ordered gurnard before and his fleshy texture was beautifully complemented with braided fennel. the big chips were absolutely crushed and let us dessert without room. as much as I enjoy a girly lunch, it is time like this when I miss my pretty man and his inexorable appetit. a quick espresso later I was moved back to the office with an earlyling in my step and a very satisfied little bit. I cannot expect to introduce my customers into this wonderful new venue, which is available for 7 days in the 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."

"A group of ten of us went here last night for our work evening out. First impressions were good the place looked really nice, and it was packed (not so good if you are into any kind of social distancing). However, once we were seated for dinner next to the main bar area, it became apparent from the incredibly loud dance music that this was not going to be an evening of easy conversation. I like to think that a basic requirement of going to dinner is that I can enjoy some conversation but that was far too much to hope for. It was like being in the middle of a nightclub or bar where to have to really shout and strain to hear someone. Things got so bad that the waitress simply could not hear me to take my order. When my colleague 's order came it was completely wrong which was no surprise. We asked for their music to be turned down several times but that was just not possible by the looks of things because of the huge bar area next to us that they cared about more. Overall, the food was good, but the evening was totally ruined by the stupidly loud nightclub music. I do not exaggerate when I say that several of us left with sore throats and lost voices. If the management is reading this then I don 't want a stock robotic reply underneath we are very sorry to hear that....... kind of response because we made it clear that the music was stupidly loud several times. The next time I want to sit and eat in the middle of a nightclub then I 'll just go to Pret for a sandwich and just take it into the middle of the dancefloor of my local. It 'll be a lot cheaper for sure."

"really great mood in the bar area, efficient service to our drinks and many tables to accommodate us, good choice on the menu my only suggestion would perhaps be another meat selection instead of 2 steak selections, eating was very simple but clean and tidy plating. my only small critique is on the dessert wine list that they had a harbour but no cheese selection, but this is more a personal preference, as I have no massive sweet tooth. well done and we will return soon"

"Booked Bang for a party of 10 for birthday celebration using the set Christmas lunch menu, excellent value with superb options available. Every dish was served up perfectly. Service was always attentive and fast, nothing was too much trouble. Cocktails are great. It was our first time in Bang but everything about it justified the reviews I had read. 100% will be back very soon. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed."

"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."

"We had been booked on 14th February evening to celebrate Valentine’s Day, I don’t drink alcohol except some events, and not familiar to all drinks. When I asked them to explain about one of them which I hadn’t seen that brand before , two guys who were at the bar was starting to look each other and laughing. They keep laughing all the time when I was standing there. While we were surviving dinner I called waitress by fingers and one of guys who was at bar came to me and told me angrily don’t use your fingers when you need us. He said we do this to our dogs. Well I am from other culture and don’t know about other cultures. I came and apologized from that lady. As a customer my expectation is they should know the UK is full of ethnicities and they should have behaved calmly. So they didn’t make us our Valentine’s night"

"Bad experience, the worst in London and for me it is very rare because I I am very attentive when I choose a cocktail bars or restaurants. I came with my husband last Wednesday and we definitely decided to not come back again. We lost time , a lot of time and money and after that , we opted for anothr cocktail bar nearby, beter experience in terms of customer service. We popped in, none approached us, none greated us, none believes in the importance of Eye Contact especially when you are busy, understaffed and customer has to wait. Obviously we can but just try to encourage us to hold. We had the feeling that they had enough with customers at 6:30pm. After a lot of time, we sat at the bar , we waited a lot for 2 easy cocktails, loud music, we could not talk each other, we left as soon as we finished our drinks. We did not see the Big Group there is behind this venue. From what we experienced I believe that just regulars customers are treated well so that's why they get some (not all of them) nice reviews. I also do not like the robotic way to reply to the bad reviews, like if you do not care about what we say as customers ,so please do not do it. You opened a terrace in the sqare, spring time just came and you do not have staff?"

"So So disapointed. Only booked a few weeks ago and chose this on the basis of what cocktails were available for a bottomless brunch. Got there and they had changed the choices..to ones we did not like. The said it would have been on an email but the email I received the day before had none of this info. If it had, we would have cancelled as can have prosecco brunch locally!. Finally the manager agreed for us to have another choice but that was after were were going to walk. Service was always polite but so so slow. Had to call someone over more times than not and it wasnt even busy.The food was lovely I have to say but the other MASSIVE complaint was there was no live DJ as advertised, No vibe just piped music..why was it advertised as a kitchen disco brunch. Very very disappointed and DO NOT recommend."

"Service was attentive, friendly unpretentious and thorough. The menu was not extensive, but perhaps benefitted from doing a few things very well rather than a far greater choice. We enjoyed fish, seafood, meat (offal) and the signature Shepherds Pie. Desserts were also exceptionally good. The ambience enabled us to converse freely with family who are hard of hearing, but the atmosphere was still informal and lively. My father in law was fascinated by the division bell. My wife enjoyed the political cartoons."

The front-of-house staff are incredibly attentive, creating a comforting atmosphere that feels like being wrapped in a cozy blanket the moment you step into this stunning bar. Each time I visit, I’m consistently impressed by the exceptional service. In London, it’s refreshing to experience a place where rudeness isn’t the norm. This restaurant is a perfect example of great service combined with a warm and inviting atmosphere."

"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."

"I really enjoy dining at The Refinery. I have visited a couple of times now and have always been pleased with the setting, ambience, and staff. However, on my most recent visit, I was disappointed with the price of the main meal and the portion size. I ordered the pan-fried salmon, which was supposed to come with cauliflower for a healthy option. Unfortunately, the dish only came with a few small pieces of cauliflower, and I felt that it was not worth the £13.95 price tag. I would have preferred a larger portion for the price. I find that the mains are a bit overpriced for the portion size, and I would recommend ordering side dishes to feel satisfied. Despite this, everything else about my dining experience was wonderful."

"Upon entering the restaurant, I felt a great atmosphere, but as a person with hearing difficulties, I struggled to communicate with my dining companion. The staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my meal. While the food was good, the portion sizes and menu options were lacking. I was informed by my server that I would need to order a side dish to complement my tiny main course. The high prices for the small portions were a major turnoff for me. I might consider returning if they increased their portion sizes. Another issue was the drink menu; I ordered a classic martini but was surprised to find it wasn't listed. The bartender's attempt at a martini was a letdown - it was only gin with no vermouth and tasted diluted. Overall, a disappointing experience."

"Was disappointed with the brunch, refills were slow for the drinks. I had booked in advance and specified this was for my birthday celebrations and for 9 people, the table and area I was given was poor compared to every other table/ group, we had two uneven tables joined together. Made it hard to communicate with each-other as it seemed like we were on 2 separate tables. With the food even though I wrote in the notes when pre-ordering about how we wanted the steaks cooked the lady still came over and asked how we wanted the steaks cooked, when I said to her I had written it in the comments she said she hadn’t checked the comments so took it again from me. I said I wanted my steak medium rare and I was served a medium- well done chewy steak and had to send it back and wait for the correct cooked steak whilst everyone else was eating! A few of my friends went for the chicken, all of them complained about how dry and tasteless it was, very disappointing especially having to pay £60. I had paid a deposit on the booking of £160 yet the staff still presented me with a full bill without deducting the deposit amount from the total bill and stuck a whooping £67.50 service charge. So I had to go up and get it rectified. They clearly had not clicked on my name when processing the bill because had they have done this it would not have happened. I saw the man click on my name and it said on there that I had paid £160. For a £60 bottomless brunch I expect better food and more drinks. I go to brunches often and have had better food and much more drinks and paid much less. This did not feel like birthday celebrations and quite frankly I was disappointed with it. Why have a comment section if no one bothers to read it? Botanist you need to do better!"

"My main memory of this restaurant was how cold it was. It is a large, open space that was not well-heated, and they had rugs and blankets on the chairs inside. There was a constant draft because some of the doors didn't have handles on the inside, making it difficult to close them. The food was decent, but the portion sizes varied greatly - the roast chicken breast was very small, while the chicken burger was huge. The service was not great; they didn't have our reservation, we waited 20 minutes to place our order, and the waitress didn't understand the difference between dairy-free and gluten-free. Once the hostess got involved, the service improved. A quick drink after work would probably be fine, but otherwise I wouldn't bother."

"This place had all the components to be a fantastic brunch spot but we were disappointed from start to finish. We were greeted by the female manager (Julia? with a hostile reception, despite it not even being busy and our having booked. We consistently felt like we were an inconvenience and asking for too much, even when asking for a high chair. Our waiter didn't know the menu, which made it difficult in ordering and receiving the correct food the food wasn’t as described on the menu. The food came out at different times. The bill was wrong and rather than apologising, the female manager snatched it from my mother in such an aggressive manner we were left shocked. It turned what should have been a lovely family occasion into a stressful event."

"Not a great experience. Courtyard dining was nice given the weather and the food was reasonably priced if a little underwhelming. Service was a major let down. There were a handful of guests and the service team were slow to acknowledge us both upon arrival in the hotel and beyond. We were charged when placing the order, which is perfectly fine until we realised we were the only ones that had been charged upfront. Not sure of the rationale and probably wouldn't have been bothered until we were asked to pay again when leaving. For clarity, this was a business lunch and both of us were suited, not exactly looking the part to run off. Would have been happy for them to have approached and simply ask of we had paid rather than have someone ask from across the courtyard. Drinks arrived late, but to be fair food was served on time. Fortunately the company and conversation made up for a poor showing from the restaurant."
