"This was my second time dining here, and once again I faced a long wait for a table. This time it was an hour, and during the wait, we were only offered a drink, which I think should have been complimentary given the lengthy delay. Fortunately, we managed to find a spot to sit while waiting, but many others who arrived after us had to stand around. Honestly, I might have decided to leave if we hadn’t found a place to wait. However, once we were seated, the service and food were good, and the atmosphere was lively. I’d love to return, but the long wait for a table is definitely a turn-off, especially since it happened both times I visited."

"star restaurants in the past, but Gordon Ramsay's restaurant blew me away. The atmosphere was classy and elegant, the service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was a work of art, and we savored every bite. It was truly a memorable dining experience and the perfect way to celebrate my husband's birthday. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special dining experience."

"I had booked the royal spice but due to a very sad bereavement the restaurant was closed so went here instead. Service was chaotic to say the least even though there were only a handful of people in drinks order had to ask twice and wrong drink came. Poppadoms soft and chewy curries came two were wrong had to go back. One of our party had a nut allergy asked for a curry without nuts or could the curry she wanted be prepared without nuts answer no so what can I have a plate of chips! Really in this day and age nut allergies are quite common. I had to call the waiters at least twice from the other side of the room whilst they chatted together. I guess by the amount of people in the restaurant says it all really."

"Friendly, welcoming staff. Our waitress was delightful and very attentive without being intrusive. We were aware that only a Brunch Menu was available I presume that providing a Lunch Menu as well would just not be cost effective in these difficult times for the hospitality industry. This was not a problem for us and there was plenty of choice.The food was good, but not a lot of thought went into the presentation. However, if that's all we have to adversely comment on I can only say 'Thank you' for a really pleasant experience"

"Booking for 11:30 am Sunday morning. Only serving brunch, which isn't normally an issue, but the brunch menu offerings were a ridiculously small selection. A couple of actual mains and then a bunch of sides. Also, no one stated that there would ONLY be brunch on offer at the time of booking or confirmation (spoke with someone on the phone for confirmation). The waiter, while genuinely nice, seemed completely lost. We decided to wait until 12:00 for the lunch menu, and still had to ask a couple of times to see the lunch menu so we could order when able. The roast sirloin and fish and chips were great, but the pork was very dry. It wasn't very busy but seemed utter chaos. The other tables around us were having issues getting anyone over to place orders or ask for additional items (even had to ask for salt and pepper, not already on the tables). We go there often enough, and it's normally very good. This was hopefully just an off day for everyone. Will definitely go back. Suggest though that if they're only serving brunch until 12:00 that there should be more on offer. The Summerhouse brunch menu puts this one to shame."

"Good food and nice flavours. Superb views of Canary Wharf. Only let down was that the service was ok there were seemed to be no co ordination or pattern between staff. It felt rushed as if they wanted to churn us over and get us out, although half the restaurant was empty. For example the waiter would ask us if we were ready to order; we said no. And then another waiter would ask us again 30 seconds later. Another example we wanted some extra time to peruse over the wine list but the waiter asked if we were done with the wine list and took it away, without asking us what we wanted to drink. The service seemed impersonal. For a restaurant doing fine dining; it lacked the personal touches and service that those other restaurants offer."

"I have dined here twice—once for a meal and once for a surprise party—and both experiences were delightful. The staff were excellent, the drink prices were fair, and the food was delicious, all set in a pleasant and upscale atmosphere. Plus, they offer gluten-free beer, which is a great option for those with celiac disease! Price per person: £30–40. Food: 5/5. Service: 5/5. Atmosphere: 5/5."

"I took my kids on Valentine’s Day to make them feel special. I’ve been to Caffe Mamma’s many times before but hadn’t been for a while. This time was hit and miss for me. I ordered chicken nuggets and chips for my son, but the nuggets were tough. He struggled a little with them, saying they were tough and dry. Our starters were nice. We ordered Calamari and prawns. Both lovely. When it came to main, I usually order pasta, but rather than going for my usual choice, I went for lasagne. I regretted it the moment it arrived. It was just full of tomato sauce. The waitress who took the dish back asked me what was wrong when she saw it wasn’t even barely touched. I told her it’s just drenched in tomato sauce, I could barely find any meat and just got stringy cheese and tomato sauce. I expressed I was disappointed with the dish. They did nothing. In the end, we ordered dessert which was ok. But when I paid the bill for £80, it left me feeling disappointed. I still kept a happy face for the kids but wished I’d booked the Chinese restaurant two doors down instead. I won’t be going back to Caffe Mamma’s after this visit."

"This restaurant review describes the writer's first Christmas lunch of the season, which set a high standard for future meals. The meal consisted of up to 3 courses for a little over £30. The special Christmas menu offered some options that were also available on the regular menu, but the turkey ballotine was the standout choice. The dish, surrounded by roast vegetables and served with gravy, was described as large, flavorful, and succulent. The lamb dish was also enjoyed with great compliments. The food was well presented and served by a friendly and talkative host. The writer is tempted to return for another meal at the restaurant."

"My wife and I are from USA, and we were visiting London for our baby moon. One of the activities we knew we wanted to do was afternoon tea. After a lot of research, we decided on the English Tea Room, and we were so glad with our choice! We had a spectacular time. We loved all the sandwiches. My favorite was the prawn mini bagel, and my wife loved the prosciutto mini bagel. There was a good amount of variety in the savory items The tea was exquisite. My wife and I drink tea regularly, and we were incredibly impressed with the tea selection and the tea quality. I opted for one of the English teas first and then an oolong tea. My wife chose two herbal teas. They paired very well with all the food The scones and desserts were absolutely delicious, too. I'd say the scones were some of the best I'd ever had. Were they mind-blowing? No, but they were delicate and fluffy. The raspberry tart was my favorite dessert with the yuzu cake coming in second. Again, there was a good amount of variety of tastes. It was fantastic that we could get an unlimited amount of refills. Of course this was all within the time limit If my wife and I visit London again, we'd absolutely go to the English Tea Room for high tea again!"

"Restaurant was inviting, festive and warm. The online booking hadn 't worked so they didn 't know we were coming, but found us a table anyway. Saturday lunch, so it was quite busy, but I suspect a second drinks order was forgotten until we reminded them. First glass was (when finished) found to be covered in old fingerprint smears and lipstick marks. Food was generally good, the family enjoyed theirs. I had a wagyu burger which admittedly in a British pub is probably expecting a little much, but it was just a burger, and overcooked. It was tasty, but I wasn 't asked how I 'd like it cooked (which I often have elsewhere and seems to be the norm these days) and it was quite dry. Presumably they can 't say it 's Wagyu unless it actually is, but I think the term is used often casually to mean 'super extra special massaged beer-fed cow meat ' whereas in actual fact it 's just a breed of cattle. So it was just a burger. IT came with bacon which was nicely cooked and actually tasted of smoked bacon (rare these days), and sweet potato fries which were really delicious, crispy and HOT (which is how chips should arrive). Condiments are good quality too. The mains took longer than we would have liked to arrive. All in all, I 'd go back because it 's a nice place, the food is good but needs more attention, and the price is on the high side but still okay. Staff are courteous. more aloof than I would prefer, but probably just right for a lot of people who don 't favour staff interaction much."

"During our stay at the hotel, we decided to have breakfast at this restaurant. We ordered pancakes topped with grilled banana, bacon, and maple syrup, along with a side of toast, juice, and tea. The meal was delicious, and I would return for breakfast even if I weren't staying at the hotel. The service was excellent, with friendly staff behind their masks."

"the windows still say blue garden, but alohabrqzilian opened it doors for us with a big smile. the chicken, cheese and beef snacks are amazingly crispy and light yet filled with taste. in any case, they ask for the diving sauce! the tuna sandwich is really one of the most beautiful things I had in my time in london. beautiful view on metalgar square, beautiful atmosphere, fun music, and super tasty eating!"

"Easy to find, handy parking and great food presented by attentive staff. Much to recommend it always enjoy our visit here. Had a wonderful mushroom risotto for starters, the pheasant main and sticky toffee pudding. Friends had the beef dinner which looked delicious too. Volcanic sized Yorkshire puds though. They also recommended the fish cake starter."

"The restaurant has been closed for months. If I had to rate it, I wouldn't give it any stars as that would better reflect its current status. My partner, who was looking forward to dining at her favorite restaurant, was disappointed when we traveled a long distance only to find it closed on her birthday."

"Food was nicex I had the gnocchi which I enjoyed, however the girl in front of house duty was very un-enthusiatic and looked like she really didn’t want to be there. The first person your customers interact with should be welcoming and smiley and unfortunately this girl was not. She had long blondish hair which was half up and half down and curly. It started the meal off on a dampener which was a shame."

"We arrived into Edinburgh later than expected due to a flight delay. After hastily checking into our hotel the six of us were starving. We were practically running through the streets in search of a restaurant when... lo and behold.. literally like a beacon in the night we ascended a flight of stairs into this delightfully cozy and cheery eatery. When we asked the pleasant host, can we still get a table ? He responded, Absolutely !! I know it was late (around 10 pm) and they were looking to call it a night but they served us beer, wine, and the most delicious Thai food. They cold not have been nicer and more welcoming. Atmosphere is fantastic, food is great and reasonable. Highly recommend!"

"Food is a bit over priced for what it is. I had a cheeseburger and fries. Nothing fancy about it so didn't warrant the £16 price tag. Dessert was lovely but obviously a microwave job. (Sticky toffee pudding) My friend wanted a caramel latte but was offered vanilla as replacement. When it arrived it tasted of cinnamon. We reminded the waitress that we'd ordered vanilla, she said yes. It's spiced vanilla But we hadn't been told that. We had to ASK her to replace it! Not great customer service. Lovely interior and well designed. Very large place with big garden out back- they had tables blocking the door way so not sure how you'd get out there?????"
