"I was pleasantly surprised with the entire experience. The food was plentiful (they offered refills of the sandwiches), fresh and delicious. I had the classic afternoon tea which is what you would expect with finger sandwiches, mini quiche, salmon bun, 2 scones (fruit and plain) as well as 5 mini desserts. My husband tried the gentleman's tea and this was outstanding. There was a plate of fish and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce. There was another plate with 3 other good sized portioned sandwiches. He had an olive scone with blue cheese butter, delish! Then a mini quiche and lemon macaron. We both had a black tea which was very good as well. The view of the Thames was nice. The only downside to the experience was I asked for a different table and she said it was already reserved. However, for the entire time we were there no one sat at that table. So that was a bit disappointing. Otherwise, I highly recommend."

"A good gastropub is a fantastic find, and Newman Street Tavern has quickly become my new favorite spot. Located on the corner of Newman Street and Goodge Street, it's perfect for a meal out with friends or a romantic dinner for two. With two floors, it's a stylish, bustling and intimate venue, with a team of welcoming waitstaff who make you feel right at home. The menu is full of tempting appetizers, mains, and desserts, not to mention a selection of sides, Neal's Yard Dairy cheeses, and a seafood menu available all day. We struggled to decide what to order, so we turned to our waiter for recommendations - the choice was just too difficult. The Devon crab salad was a feast for the eyes, with a generous mound of white crab meat surrounded by... (continued on Yelp)"

"It is a well laid out restaurant which is fresh and bright and in general does carry a good atmosphere. However, the food did let it down for me. Not much choice for gluten free, and when I did ask for the yogurt and berries with the nuts, grains and seeds, I received a very small amount of yogurt, and was informed that there weren't many berries as they had almost run out. I also got honey at a request. It was nice but such a small amount that it was a bit disappointing. Service was okay. Everyone else seemed okay with what they had."

"A 5 minute walk from Old Street Tube station, this place is easy to miss. No big lights or imposing signs trying to attract your attention but instead signage and a front of house that simply blends in unassumingly with the surrounding area. Nice bar upstairs with plenty of seating and a relaxed and comfortable feel. The restaurant is downstairs and it has a wonderful homely feel to it. The staff are knowledge about both the food and drinks menu. We arrived late (we called to let them know) and even though there was a booking following us, they accommodated us and the food was promptly served and of course... tasty. I'm giving this place 3 stars as we only had mains (our fault for being late) but I'll be returning to sample all 3 courses and I'm expecting to give this little gem at least 4 stars "

"have after an alternative treatment to a short holiday, this was it, eating was nice, the ambiente was perfect, I loved that the room could keep the traditional tea room variety, without "high ending" distracting from the coworkers professional persona is excellent and I enjoyed the total experience. only constructive critique I have is that the table was low with limited space mine was a touch exposed, but then I want to get out of the way to be low and stand out means that it is hard that the waiter does not storm anything about them"

"staff just did not want to be there. they didn’t know how to work the heaters, couldnt decide where to put the host stand, looked at us funny when we asked a question about the menu. the decorations outdoors were nice but inside was dark and dreary. food was mediocre, the french toast was good but cost around £13, they brought out one small piece of toast. the egg burger was just average, just a brioche bun with scrambled eggs with a few green chillies sprinkled around inside the egg. no garnish, no side, nothing to make it special. absolutely not worth it for the price."

"I went out for a special mother's day lunch, I thought the the food was off poor quality and really over priced for what was served. I had the salmon and everything was really oily and was also served vegetables on the side which was also full of butter, spinach and the potatoes were just drained in oil not a very nice tasting experience. My mother had the sunday roast and this was very disappointing there was hardly any veggies served yorkshire pudding was tasteless. The prices for these meals for fairly expensive and they also add service charge on top and i think as they are closing down in the next week that they just don't care anymore."

"Cozy Persian restaurant in central London, all food homemade by the lady owner who makes different specials every day. Delicious stews for cold weather and refreshing Persian drinks. Try their Salad Olivieh, falafel and Kashk e bademjan for starters. It's great. I love when I'm lucky enough to come on a day when they have tahchin. It's so good! I feel like some of he reviews here is just nonsense, if you want cheap food go to another Iranian restaurant further away from W1 or McDonald's 3 minutes away. And writing post it notes and leaving on your plate? Come on. It's not high school! If you're unhappy with your food you tell your waiter. Highly recommended. Very generous portions and good priced to be in a expensive neighborhood like Marylebone."

"We placed our order shortly after we arrived at the restaurant. It was quite busy, but despite the crowds, the staff were very cheerful and welcoming. The food was tasty - we enjoyed the full English breakfast and the ham and cheese toastie. The weather was beautiful, so we decided to sit outside, which was lovely. The coffee was also delicious; we are coffee lovers and were pleased with the quality here. We want to give a special shoutout to Barbara, our server, who brought our daughter a coloring book and was sweet to her throughout our meal. She was a very kind lady."

"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."

"Popped in for lunch, it was pretty busy but service was attentive and friendly. We had the standard vegan one and a marinara with vegan cheese on a gf blue corn base. A bit pricey but huge pizzas (we ended up taking 1/2 back home for later) and excellent quality, tasty, fresh and interesting ingredients . Really tasty vegan cheese and exciting to have a range of gf bases that tasted really good."

"This restaurant is absolutely fantastic! The staff is wonderful, and the dining experience is flawless. There's a relaxed atmosphere, and the food is served promptly and tastes like it came from a Michelin-starred chef—I'm incredibly impressed. We enjoyed breakfast and came back for a late lunch, and we will definitely be returning. They also offer takeout, which we discovered through a Just Eat delivery driver."

"I had a great lunch there. Service was great and couldn't fault it to the point where my son in law ordered a drink that he didn't like and they replaced it with something else and no charge! We had spent a lot there that afternoon and it was nice and so rare for that to be acknowledged. Marked down in places because the downstairs toilet was a bit below standard. Couldn't fault the food and trust me I am fussy!"

"Wow what a cool find! The cafe is very vibrant with a fun atmosphere. It is spacious and has plenty of tables to choose from. The two staffs were friendly also. I ordered omelette with cheddar cheese, spinach and tomatoes with a smoothie for a drink. The only thing I didn’t like about the omelette was that the tomato pieces were too big instead of smaller chunks. However it was inexpensive £8) and filling. The smoothie was naturally sweeten by dates. Overall I am fully satisfied with the cafe and would go again when I’m in Hammersmith."

"Plate Restaurant in Old Street at M by the Montcalm Hotel offers top notch dining in a relaxed and modern setting. Although there is a ground floor bar and cafe in the hotel, my tip would be to head straight on up to the restaurant on the second floor. Here you can sit in the sleek glass fronted building, watching the hustle and bustle go by. Owner and Chef Director Arnaud Stevens has previously worked with the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Jason Atherton and Richard Corrigan. With that experience, Plate restaurant in Old Street is bound to be something special. A particular highlight of my visit were the signature Plate cocktails – designed by the bar’s own mixologists. These amazing cocktails are worth visiting for alone! My absolute favourite was the Naked Negroni – light, summery and refreshing, this cocktail was very drinkable! The staff were knowledgeable and attentive – they definitely knew the menu inside out, as they came up with spot on recommendations for me. I had the Plate signature bread flight to start, which is an absolute must if you visit this restaurant. The trio of warm, freshly baked breads were outstanding with the accompanying trio of whipped butters. The mushroom brioche was so light and flavoursome (not an overpowering taste of mushroom) and the onion whipped butter with crispy shallots on top was stunning. For mains, we had the Parmesan gnocchi with sprouting broccoli, almond puree and elderflower dressing and the Rump of lamb, with tomato fondue, anchovy, basil dressing and charred gem lettuce. If you are hungry, I would suggest getting a side to accompany your main. The buttered green beans were a great accompaniment to the lamb. Although the portions are not huge at Plate restaurant, the well balanced dishes were spot on to allow you to enjoy three courses and not feel utterly stuffed. This is particularly helpful, as saying no to desert here is not an option. This desert menu will appeal to anyone with a sweet tooth. I tried the Valrhona caramel chocolate mousse, with pain perdu, hazelnuts and passion fruit. This beautifully presented pudding didn’t leave you stuffed, as the passion fruit cut through the mousse and brioche perfectly. I was reliably informed that the British menu with a French twist is frequently changing to match the latest seasonal produce available. The relaxed, but smart setting, stands this restaurant apart from your average hotel restaurant. Whether you pop in for just a cocktail, or a three course meal, Plate Restaurant at M by the Montcalm is definitely worth a visit."

"Although the restaurant itself was very nice and we could not fault the attentive service of the waiting staff, the food was OK but not overly hot. We only had a main meal each plus drinks and shared a dessert. What annoyed us was, while we could do nothing but accept the 12.5% service charge on the bill, when we paid the bill by cash, we were not given any change which we felt was very cheeky. This was not just a few pennies it was nearly £7. If the change had been returned we may have chosen to leave a tip, however for it not to be returned left us feeling rather aggrieved. It should not be assumed that paying by cash means keep the change, especially when a service charge has already been added. Having only booked this restaurant for its location to the theatre we were going to, it definitely was not the best meal we had during our stay in London and the experience was the one we were the most disappointed with. I might add, the waiter who took the money from us was not one that had been serving us prior to this, he just happened to be passing our table."

"Cute spot with only about twenty seats. Great for Saturday morning at the market. However, not enough staff or cooks… or stovetop space. It was literally like going to someone’s house who is going to cook all of their friends different breakfasts and not being able to keep up so service overall was kind of horrible …. Was the first one there at opening; has a reservation and spot at the bar. I didn’t get my latte for a good 20 minutes and that was after my entree had already come out. French toast was good but the berry compote was cold and just took total temperature down of meal and made it like cold french toast. Latte was lukewarm at best. “Lukewarm” is a good word to summarize the entire meal and experience."
