"Looked very nice on entry, if unexpectly quite for a Thursday night in December. I ordered the mac and cheese with a side of skinny fries. When the food came the mac and cheese had bacon on it, seemed an honest mistake by the server who apologised when I said I didn 't order bacon, I 'm vegetarian he took it and said he would get a new one. I was surprised and a bit suspecious when it came back less than 5 min later but it looked ok, that was until I put some in my mouth and it tasted smoked. On further inspection I found a small piece of bacon down the inside of the bowl. I called the server back and asked if the chef had just taken the bacon off and the reply was a sheepish yes. He apologised again and offered to get me anouther, however I refused, if they think just taking the big bits of bacon off makes it vegetarian I can 't trust the practices going on in the kitchen. A short while later he came back and apologised again, saying that I wouldn 't be charged for anything, he also took the blame himself as he didn 't tell the chef I was vegetarian and hadn 't said anything when they just took the bacon off. I appreciated the apology, but it doesn 't make it right and made that point clear to him. I 'm vegetarian by choice, but what if it had been an allergie to something or I had been Muslim or Jewish. I 'm exceptionally disappointed that a place advertising itself as vegetarian, vegan, gluten friendly place can get something so basic, so wrong. It 's put me off going back and I certainly wouldn 't recommend anyone with any kind of dietary requirement going there as you may get more on your plate than you bargained for."

"Bryon Burgers!. Nice sunny afternoon and our place of choosing for our pre-prom date was the Bryon Burger on the High Street, Not too far a trek from the station but maybe a little out of the way for some. Clean, bright and spacious with an actual bar with stools offering that true American style of burger diner eating. The open planned kitchen in the middle allow burger munchers to see the action and some seating outside on the street which might not be such a nice thing with London 's heavy traffic. Once seated, we browsed the menu and even though limited to burgers and burger related sides, that was exactly what we came for. We had refreshing Olives while we waited, Home Cooked skin-on-chips, juicy onion rings and macaroni and cheese for sides and Burgers how we wanted them, selection of cheeses, add-ons and sauces cooked medium. The food was good, tasty and I devoured my burger; only thing I wasn 't that keen on was the macaroni and cheese being a bit bland but hey.. its exactly what it says on the menu. There was a chicken burger and a veggie burger but do remember this place is strictly Burgers. We had little space for desserts which was a basic but still pleasing selection of knickerbocker glories and ice-cream covered Brownies. Selection of drinks and a short yet interesting wine list of goods to betters however on this occasion we had the milkshakes, strawberry and oreo cookie, which in all honesty, were very nice and filling indeed, a dessert in themselves, but I make better ones at home. Service was really good, prompt and helpful. The team there seemed to work hard at keeping the bar clean and customers happy. Overall, this was a really good burger bar, so if it 's good burgers you 're after this place should please your needs. Great for couples, small gatherings and even on your own at the bar, burger, beer and chips oh.. or a shake."

"AVOID SAGE AT ALL COSTS. I rarely write reviews but had to make an exception for this place, for the sake of sparing others the experience we had. Where do I begin? Arrived at the “restaurant” (if you can call it that and staff were nowhere to be seen. Restaurant has a somewhat ‘eery’ feel to it with such strange decor. Took around 20 minutes until manager finally brought out the menu. After ordering was told several items missing. Food took a long time to arrive and when it did was given to the WRONG TABLE (HELLO COVID?! . Manager took plates downstairs to kitchen for a few minutes before bringing them back out to our table? (Now might be a good time to mention that the customer toilets are literally in the kitchen weird? Food was poor. Advertised as Beyond Meat burger but they brought out the much cheaper Moving Mountains burger was still charged the same extortionate £13.95 for this. … the other half of our order never arrived. At this point we were feeling pretty upset with the service so requested the bill. Manager brought out a handwritten note with various prices on it (these did not match up with the advertised prices on both the menu and the Deliveroo app . Manager informed us at the end of our meal that the card machine is out of service and told me to drive several minutes to the nearest ATM. Manager then changed his mind and told us to pay via the Deliveroo app, with the knowledge that this adds an additional service charge. Manager proceeded to stand behind/lean over my partner and take her phone out of her hands. He was adamant that we didn’t know what we were doing and behaved in a very intimidating manner. I asked the manager if I could speak to him in private away from the customers. I explained that we were unhappy with the service we had received by referring to the several points mentioned above. Myself a vegan of 6 years, I expressed to him that I care a lot about the success of small businesses such as his and suggested that menu pricing could be more clear, the advertised products actually being served etc. He became very defensive and hostile, blaming my partner for several things that had happened and alternating between reasonings behind the price discrepancies. “If you didn’t like what I was doing and I made you feel unsafe, why don’t you speak up? You are a grown adult.” … those were his words to my partner. BE WARNED: many of the Google reviews and hygiene rating is from previous owners Eat Street, not Sage."

"I'm an American. I was invited to work at the queen’s university in a global conference. my airline has moved my baggage, so I stopped in the barking dog to use her wlan to check the status of my baggage and have a drink and a snack with my associate who has unusual allergies. the menu had nothing to call us, so we have decided to finish and move only our drinks./ at no point has anyone informed that it is illegal to have only drinks, and our server ran our review without mentioning any legal requirements. After I paid, someone who I suspect, the manager, came to the table and checked our reception. exactly what I thought was what they said before they cheated on me how it is illegal to buy drinks in a restaurant without eating. I apologised and explained that I had no warning. I offered to buy food retroactive and they refused. then they repeated that I was in a restaurant and not in a pub and that my activities were illegal. they denied my multiple attempts to apologise me while I explained that I am not out of the opposite. this experience was very confusing for me, because the night before me had drinks in a restaurant without food and it was no problem. in any case I was told that there is no such law and that the ordering of drinks without eating in a restaurant is very common. I've never been treated so badly in a customer service dynamic and I'm not sure why this happened. I feel targeted and totally mistreated for what does not seem to be a good reason. To finish it, it was my birthday. complete error in the name of what this person was. I will say the rest of the staff was very pleasant and accommodating."
