"We had a fantastic family lunch in the garden on Sunday after participating in and cheering on runners at a half marathon event in Richmond Park. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was great, and the service was attentive. Plus, the restaurant is dog friendly."

"This was not our first visit, so we were disappointed on this occasion. Whilst the waiting staff took account of food intolerances when taking our order, the kitchen made a number of small mistakes which, had the intolerances been full-blown allergies, could have caused problems. Both the steak and the venison we found to be on the tough side and not of the quality that we would expect from Orestone Manor."

"Well, where to start? On arrival, we were processed by the chap on Reception who we now know to be the Owner. Rude doesn 't do it justice! He started by saying that our table wasn 't ready and asked us to wait. The place was only half full at best. Our party made their way to the window seats and I went to the Bar. Despite several Staff running around busily, there was no one serving. I stood at the Bar and waited. The ignorant Owner knew I was there (I was less than a yard away from him) but to no avail. I waited. A lady appeared behind the Bar, looked at me, procured a bar order and then dashed off again. I waited. She came back, looked at me and started to mess with glassware. She dashed off again. I waited. Again she returned, looked at me, messed with Barware items and dashed off. Having waited long enough, I sat down with my Family. I 'll be kind; I had waited over 10 minutes without any acknowledgement at all. At this point, the Owner stormed over, confronted me and suggested that I was being unreasonable. I pointed out to him that I had said nothing. He immediately began to rant that my body language was inappropriate and kicked off, telling me that they were very busy and the Staff were all working hard indeed they were (except him). There were just not enough of them. We should have walked out there and then. Five minutes later, our order was taken and we received our drinks. We waited for our table to be procured. We had another round of drinks. Fully one hour after our arrival, we were shown to our table. I was of the distinct impression that I had been disciplined for my inappropriate body language . The service remained slow, the food was ok. I would not have left a tip, but my Wife took pity on the Staff, so she did. I insisted that be a maximum of 50% of what we would normally tip. Our bill was £167, we paid £180 (just so you know). I hope the Owner didn 't receive a penny. To the Owner: Sir, your manners are appalling. There is an English adage which suggests that The Customer is always right. I do not totally concur with that sentiment, but it was not my fault that your restaurant is under staffed. CAUSE. I had waited for at least ten minutes and my presence had not even been acknowledged. No apology, just a rant from you. EFFECT. We have enjoyed previous visits to Spargo. Perhaps that was because we hadn 't encountered Mr Angry. Good luck with you Business going forward. I do hope that you consider this review appropriately and, moreover, the implied sentiment therein. Sadly, I don 't think you will."

"Not for the first time I visited Pasta Remoli, so I knew what to expect, and was not disappointed very good, very fresh food, in generous portions at very reasonable prices. We went to a late matinee at Park Theatre next door, starting at 3.15, so booked for 2 pm think this would give us plenty of time; as it was, take some slow service (with drinks especially, which felt like time to come), meant that we had to skip Dessert. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our broschetta very much to share, interestingly with a variety of crisp, slightly plastered vegetables rather than the ordinary tomoatoes or roasted veg, our pastas seafood linguine and spaghetti carbonara, both superb and a common side of very garlicky spinach, which is not bad, but let us honking of allium all the afternoon. With an excellent aperol spray and a large glass of a good Pinot Grigio, each of our bill was with service approx. £35 per person, but you could have a dish of pasta and a glass of wine here and spend approx. £15, which is excellent."

"I came here on Wednesday afternoon and despite the fact it was well past lunchtime, the place was still packed. If I hadn't just nailed a pizza, I could easily have buried my face in one of the delightful cakes displayed at the counter, but instead, I amused myself with a coffee or two. I started with a double espresso and finished with a black coffee. What?! I hadn't had my morning coffee fix! It's no surprise that the coffee was rich and deliciously deep in flavour because at Patisserie Valerie, they serve Illy coffee, which as far as I'm concerned, is the best brand going. I was a little envious of those at the table next to me as they tucked into their chocolate muffin and...read more"

"to spend several weeks in england, can be genuine tortured for French aficionados and other lovers of good food. we realize that fish chips, borons and other pizzas often blanden and tasteless appear next to the traditional French cuisine, as we know. but no care, we have found a cure for it! gerard brewery, located on the famous high street, is in fact the place in canterbury, where they can fill their bunt with traditional French dressed. we especially liked the quiche larrain (8 pfu), the wobble soup as starter, baked cadry, grilled salmon and cream bubble."

"I came here to celebrate my wife's birthday. It is a nice place. It was my first time trying Beef Wellington, and although the pastry was a bit overdone, the beef inside was good. The gravy was one of the best I've had. My girlfriend really enjoyed her steak as well. The only downside was the slow service and difficulty getting someone's attention. I had booked a 50% off mains deal through OpenTable, but it was not recognized when I arrived. I also felt a bit embarrassed when I asked about it, as sometimes places dispute such offers after you have already ordered. I had also tried to arrange a birthday surprise for my girlfriend with sparklers, but when I asked one of the waiters, they just told us to order dessert and we only got "happy birthday" written on her plate. Overall, the food was good, but the service could be better."

"I was with a big work group. there is something for everyone on the menu, including a handful of vegan dishes. everyone ordered apps, so I got the vegan: brot and olive oil. it was, good, broth and olive oil. there were some vegan netzen; I got the crispy tofu with cousin. tofu was good, cousin was okay. be careful when ordering: the vegan product is only dinge from the vegetarian menu without yogurt or other milk products. So they need to ask for the vegan crispy tofu, not the vegetarian."

"Usually love Firebird, but booked to go for some dinner with a friend prior to a gig in Kelvingrove Bandstand. Took over an hour to get our food resulting in us having to rush it down to make the gig in time , drinks and sides orders got mixed up. Staff didn't communicate with each other so a lot of confusion over our orders. They were obviously very busy but they should have staff numbers/kitchen to cover bookings. Staff tried their best but it just wasn't up to scratch and very disappointing. Also never mentioned that their card machine wasn't working, so as we were rushing out to our gig, we were informed we would have to go out to cash machine to get cash and return in order to pay, which caused further delay. Probably just a bad night but not good enough when Id recommended it as ideal spot for a quick bite to eat."

"We celebrated Mother's Day at this restaurant, and we were pleasantly surprised to be greeted with chocolates and a lovely Mother's Day card! The food was delicious, making for a very enjoyable meal. I never would have considered booking a hotel restaurant, so I really appreciate OpenTable for helping me secure a reservation at the last minute!"

"I booked the large private room for a party – honestly easiest party I have ever arranged. Mariana, the events manager was incredibly polite and provided responses and answers on email very quickly. Mariana was always available to speak on the phone to, and was generally such a pleasure to work with to arrange the event. On the day, again the whole evening was just so easy! Mariana is very approachable and made sure everything was running fine. The boss (who’s name I did not catch) was also very nice on the night and was very helpful when it came to using the projector and ensuring that the video I wanted to be played worked well. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone interested. I have been to two engagement parties here before and both went so well which is why I decided to hold my party here too!"

"The restaurant was bustling at lunchtime due to the rugby international match. The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient. As for the food, the pizza was generous and perfectly cooked, while the pasta with slow-cooked beef was excellent. The beer was served cold, and the espresso was just right."
