"I just want to pay my tributes to Maze Grill and the staff for the excellent experience we had when we visited you for dinner on New Years Eve! Me and my family felt ourself very special already from the entrance, the bar and throughout the whole dinner. Especially our headwaiter (think his name was Karnal? but also his colleagues had much to do but never failed in attention, on the contrary there where not a single second we had to wait or ask for anything. Nice details as when someone constantly have an eye if our glasses needed to be filled up or when our son dropped the fork he had a new one even faster than he could of picked it up himself from the floor. And we noticed that the staff picked up the napkins and folded it and put it back whenever someone went to toilet or so. And it never felt pushy or so, just nice and friendly discreet attention. And what about the food? The garlic shrimps for starter was great as a appetizer and the steak for main course was perfectly executed, as well as the chips and the cole slaw was to die for. Again the attention for detail was great since we had different choices all four of us. The sommelier presented the wines on an Ipad to choose from and we struck gold for choosing a red stellenbosch one. If we have anything to complain about the wine could of been a couple of degrees colder, it was room temperatur I believe. We could of said something but we didn´t since we already got our main courses. When we left Maze Grill for heading out for the fireworks the doorman helped us with a cab…all nice details that makes you feel happy to pay the bill even if its much more than you usually spend on a dinner as an ”average family”. We will certainly visit you again and we will look for other Ramsay restaurants whenever we travel abroad again. Hope you will find a place in Stockholm to start up a new restaurant someday! We say Thank you and wish you all a Happy New Year! Mikael Tarnstrom with family"

"first line I still can't believe that I would still dare out of my warm bed at sub-zero weather for a birthday dinner! but yes, it happened. I must finally visit the famous steakhouse. not only that, this is a beautiful glass house. at the arrival we were met by a beautiful door host who brought us from the cold and felt very welcome. we were offered drinks while we were waiting, but we were just too cold. we finally went down to the restaurant area (up is only the bar and after the birthday girl had a garderobe disorder (again, the door host came to retaliation with safety needles much appreciated! the ambiente was nice and cozy and the tables are nicely decorated. our waitress offered to show us the raw cuts, so I said why not win the full experience. my friends were less interested. aha ha. Nevertheless, she gave a great explanation for all cuts and how to have done them best for full pleasure. you can tell me that I'm getting everything in the offer, right? my friends ordered their drinks, a bottle of champagne and cocktails and I asked for a crippled water. it took a while until our drinks came out, and so we asked ourselves that they had run out of passion fruit for the cocktails and had to buy some! well, I never (I usually sweat so when my order lasts too long, but the first time actually experiencing. in ordering our food, we find out that there was no lammage left, so that the birthday girl got half a mais fed chicken instead. I ordered gnocchi and broccoli with roasted mandel and stylton. ribeye steak has also been ordered with chips and mash. there are not many possibilities for vegetarian let alone vegan, but I had expected to have chips and dessert so actually a bonus with gnocchi. the free kesebrot was late because they had to bake it, so we were given maisbrot with butter and chimchurri, followed by hot cheese bread. absolutely delicious! I was really intrigued by maisbrot. our main thing came in good timing and everyone was happy with eating. well, except birthday girl spinat side, which tasted as if it was cooked over, so she brought her a fresh one that was much better. I enjoyed my gnocchi especially because it first tries gnocchi. I smeared it with chimchurri (we went through two pots of the witness! . the broccoli was not over boiled, so was thrilled about it, but I am not a fan of the stylton. the food went well down and we were really filled. After our table was cleaned out, the cake was brought out as we sang according to “happy birthday for you”. our waitress had her moments, but overall she was a joy and very helpful. I can actually say that all employees were big and even with delays in service, it was good with good character and humor compensated. thanks, gaucho. broadgate for the host of the 26th birthday dinner of my dear friend and a cold night to make feel exceptionally warm! I would recommend this gaucho especially for their service and beautiful ambiente."

"I remember when I was younger the idea of eating raw fish seemed quite strange and at that time it wasn’t hugely popular in the UK but in my late teens eventually sushi boxes started to take the place of sandwiches, Yo! Sushi became a regular haunt and I started to fall in love with Japanese food. My sister was my partner is sushi-crime and we loved the fun of the Japanese ‘Kaiten’ and sharing selection boxes from Marks Spencer and other high street places. But soon our fondness for sushi rolls meant we wanted to try the real deal. Back then there wasn’t the plethora of sushi restaurants in London that there is now but we set our sights on the very best…Nobu, Old Park Lane. Once there we clumsily held our chopsticks and we feasted on the freshest succulent sashimi, marvellous maki rolls and crisp shrimp tempura.And then the black cod arrived, the delicious flesh of the fish marinated in miso, had a sweet, buttery taste on the tongues of us young sushi novices…it was incredible…that was it…we were hooked. I’ve now revisited Nobu Old Park Lane many times, always remembering it was the first time I ever had proper sushi…But Nobu has become a bit of an addiction for me and not only do I also love the Berkeley Street branch in London but I’ve actually visited Nobu restaurants on four different continents. My favourite being Nobu Malibu, a beautiful open restaurant where you can sit nibbling on edamame beans whilst taking in a stunning view of the ocean."

"I’ve visited Issho many times before and it’s always somewhere I take friends who are visiting from out of town. We have always really enjoyed the food and ambience there. It was a special occasion tonight so my fiancé and I attended just the two of us. Being tapas style dining we are used to them bringing things out as and when it’s ready- but the wait time between all the dishes was so so so long and it was literally one dish coming at a time so we never ate a single one together. We waited a while for all the food and our drinks came even after the food did. I’m also 9 months pregnant at the moment and asked for some water while we waited which never came- we had to ask again for it. This happened with one or two things we had asked for for the table as well. I was still hungry after everything we had ordered had come as by this point we had been seated 2 hours and the food (just 3 small tapas dishes) had all been so spaced out I didn’t feel like I’d really eaten, we decided to stick at it and try and order some more and a dessert atleast- but honestly so long went by without a single person paying attention to our table or even seeing us try to make eye contact that we decided to just go. Even asking for the bill took forever and it honestly seemed like an inconvenience to the server that we needed service/help. Over 2 hours and £100 later for a few small dishes and mocktails. Just a really disappointing experience from a restaurant I have recommended to so many people in the past. The food is always wonderful but it’s hard to enjoy with service so poor like that. I’m never one to complain either, I’ve worked in restaurants myself and always have empathy and understanding during busy periods, but it was very very poor tonight."

"We popped in on a Sunday after some shopping. Coffee shops in the area were packed, no tables busy but we needed a respite after some shopping with our 11 month old baby. We stood at the door waiting to be seated which felt like an eternity. When we got in with our baby who was sleeping in the pram we were told that there was nowhere to pop the pram while he was sleeping but he could be popped in a highchair no problem at all. No checking how old he was etc (he was under his rain over not visible) what if I needed to breastfeed once he woke up? Or if he was a newborn the parents just wanted a bite to eat? There was adequate space for a pushchair, fancy turning away a family with a sleeping child. While I completely understand that you don’t wish to place a child next to friends couples dining out it’s a little unfair to turn away people on the basis of what are your restaurant regulations or whatever you want to call it do what’s morally right surely? Anyway the host was lucky our child decided to wake up at that moment because we were about to walk away considering the rather unwelcome greeting. We were hungry. Once we were seated it was all great from there. They managed to get a £50 lunch out of us! Myself my partner had black blue burgers which were cooked lovely came out within 10 mins of ordering. Our waitress was really lovely very friendly toward us smiley at our baby. Our baby had fish goujons with veggies fruit chocolate pot for dessert. He thoroughly enjoyed it. The highchair was a bit low for such a small baby so would be better if they got some with trays to avoid mess help out baby eat be more supported but he was excited either way. The high hairs were definitely more suitable to toddlers as opposed to infants. Generally a friendly service once we were there felt full satisfied so thank you to the lovely waitress for changing our experience. Just a quick fyi to the restaurant in general not all babies are loud cry. If your younger clientele aren’t happy with children in the middle of the day then maybe they shouldn’t be popping into a family restaurant?"
