"Thank you Lutyens for another excellent lunch. My sister who joined me as my guest had a broken foot and the manager and staff were most accommodating in finding a box to stand it on so it was raised. The Dover sole is always very good but as a beer drinker could they stock Birra Moretti as well as Peroni as the former is much nicer and it's what the Italians drink!"

"The staff was excellent, and the wine and whiskey were quite good. However, the food was just average. I started with the pigeon; the menu mentioned breast and wing, so I expected one of each, but I received four wings that were tough and had so little meat that they wouldn’t have satisfied a pigeon, especially for £14. On the plus side, the black pudding was enjoyable. The main courses were alright, but nothing worth raving about."

"Business lunch for four, recommended by a colleague who loves the place.Location is great and the conservatory style dining area is really nice. Tables are well spaced out and the overall effect is really calm and peaceful.Only one other table being used, so the service was quick as you would expect. Bread and olives to share were delicious, really nice, mains ordered 2 tuna and 2 salads. The tuna steak was exceptional, beautifully cooked, delicious. Everyone in the group well satisfied with their food.They desserts were good, but not up to the standard of the starters. Decent priced bottle of wine, some coffees and everyone was happy.It’s a little lifeless, I’m sure some days it must be busier which would create more of a buzz. Prices aren’t bad, given it’s location, service and food are good. Would definitely go again, and just to make sure we do, the restaurant have a loyalty card scheme which we signed up to. Covers a few different restaurants (including Ginos and Piccolinos) and you get £20 for joining! Not bad"

"fantastic experience. I am pleased to share with you all my fantastic experience in the westcliff seafront. Today we are ready to enjoy a beautiful cocktail and so, we choose aurum restaurant terrace, we had visited it before a long time so why not try again. and yes, but they serve still wonderful cocktails with a fantastic service delivered! After we had greeted, we felt very comfortable and pleasant to be there, so we decided to try the food again and yes, it is quite expensive, but it is worth having the experience. excellent selection of quality drinks; vodka. rum. coffee available. it is ideal to enjoy a great chill out afternoon cocktails on the terrace or evening in the beautiful lounge bar. or if you want to enjoy an elegant dinner in your restaurant, this pleasant time can bring. refresh the touch with comfortable sitting and softer and beautiful lightness. the waitress is professional and participates with a beautiful smile. spotless clean yes, I would like to recommend it aurum restaurant!"

"I went here with my little boy in a buggy and as soon as I reached the door, a worker came and held the door for me. we got a nice comfortable table and while I was going through the menu, she played with the little one. I ordered a French toast and a mocha for me and for the little one I asked her if they could make a cheese sandwich and they were happy to do that. had a nice breakfast very friendly staff, great service, nice eating. they have just the needs of the little one. she was comfortable and happy, which meant that I could also enjoy my fönchtoast. in any case recommend!"

"enjoyed our evening in james st it was the best culinary experience of our trip! we had been happy to see this evening as we had a few hit-N-seals in the course of our trip to belfast. we were not disappointed and had the fabulous evening. we were quickly welcomed and sitting. the place is beautiful and spacious. revitalized and environment. the bar is great and would like to come back, only for drinks at the bar sometime. we ordered cocktails immediately. an Irish gin negroni and a traditional old fashion. my neger was absolutely excellent. I think the old fashion could have been done with real sugar cubes and not sugar syrup, but it wasn't too bad. we were quick to choose our wein. we chose a beautiful juicy red, the cline, the old vine zinfandel, 2019. to begin we had the ham hock terrine with piccalilli champ bread and some scallops with boar bell. the hanging-hock court was the best ham-hock I had. the homemade piccalilli was something else. really nice crispy and sharp sharp to help cut through the hammock and the champbrot was delicious crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. the scallops and black bells were disappointing, as they lacked no salt or genuine aroma or texture between them. we still ate it and shared the rest of my hammock. we both decided to go for the co. tyrone 270g fillet steak with sides of champ and truffle parmesan chips. red wine and pfeffer sauce. they were fantastic steaks. Actually, I didn't think I would finish mine, but I did. I have met the right choice with the jus and the truffle chips. they went so well together, the dryness of the parmesan and sweet, slightly greasy of the jus. the steaks were perfectly cooked. a medium and my medium rare. fantastic aroma on the grilled outside of the steak and beautiful texture when they pierce. we both agreed that the champ was the best champ we ever cost. it was hot, soft, so well aromatized with hot butter on the top of the copper serving pot melt. it was really the most incredible champ. I was too full of dessert. but my sample ordered the sticky toffee pudding sundae. the team was friendly enough to make me an espresso martini that was both decaf and not a sugar syrup. it was brilliant. we both managed to work our way, although a surprisingly light sticky toast desserts on Sunday. the team was fantastic. very friendly and chatting to us. the bar team did not stop, I had the pleasure of standing and watching them make a great selection of drinks and cocktails. the waiting staff were also very friendly when they check in with us at comfortable places to ensure that we were in order. we felt very well looked around. the service was very good, we didn't feel any hurry, it felt like such a free time in this restaurant. when we come back to belfast, we will be back in absolute terms and we will definitely recommend others. Thank you."

"I visited this place at lunchtime with a friend who lives in Hull, so she recommended it. There was seating inside, as well as some outside on the street. It had a nice relaxed atmosphere, with piano music playing. We were told we could order by the app, which allows 10% off the bill. Or we could order at the bar. We decided it would be easier and quicker for us to order at the bar. But we were met by a very unwelcoming guy who told us that he didn’t have time to take our order, as he was far too busy. So our only option was the app! Not the best customer service, but anyway we ordered by the app which was fairly straight forward. The food was very nice and we had a lovely relaxing catch up. I would definitely recommend this place also visit again. Despite the stressed out moody barman, the rest of the staff were lovely the service was excellent."

"This place is nice with pleasant surroundings. The staff are welcoming. The food is average and the service is incredibly slow. Regrettably, my experience with the steak sandwich proved to be a big disappointment. The bread was heavily laden with gravy and onion, with a mere morsel of steak, which rendered it into a state of sogginess the structure of the sandwich failed and disintegrated into an unwieldy mess. Would I come back? Probably not."

"I dropped into the Barley Mow while my wife was in a dance class at a nearby studio it had already been a long day and I was ready for a quiet pint! After walking through the surrounding area, dodging ferraris and wealthy tourists...taking selfies in front of the Connaught hotel( it was very refreshing to find a normal pub in the heart of the overpriced madness! The Barley Mow is artfully dishevelled, but boasts a good selection of beers (for a macro-brewery-owned pub) as well as a decent range of gin and whiskey. Everything is surprisingly reasonably-priced and there is a homely and welcoming feel to the place. I don’t know how they have managed to keep this oasis of normality in the middle of such an ostentatiously affluent area, but long may it continue! Definitely recommended for a quick drink and a quiet sit down while shopping/sightseeing!"

"Disappointingly average food and a confused main menu choices on a Sunday of roast dinners one last pink beef at 5pm that wasn't pink it was well done) and sandwiches and hot roast sandwiches with chips, special was lobster and was quite expensive for the quality. Also a bit eclectic in the interior design back to the 80's in the conservatory and a different style in the main room with a hotch potch of accessories in the mix. Overall just OK, better pubs nearby for a Sunday with friends."

"I absolutely adored everything about this cafe, from the beautiful selection of fresh cakes to the gorgeous decor and charming artworks on the walls. We ordered 2 violet macarons, a sky tart, a chic fudge cake, and a pistachio nougat disc along with 2 espressos. All the cakes were incredibly delicious, the service was outstanding, and the complimentary soda water with the coffee was a nice touch. The total bill came to £34, which we found to be quite reasonable for the location in Soho and the overall ambiance of the restaurant. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Bravo!"

"Victors have changed it is more like a tapas style restaurant where dishes arrive at different time. Just very unorganised some people in the party received their food 30 minutes after the rest of the party had finished. Waitress was nice and very pleasant but the kitchen were unable to accommodate any slight change to a dish. Wouldn’t go back or recommend."

"Took going to the front desk twice to get the tv fixed in the room. Initially they sent in housekeeping to try to fix it, then a gentleman around the front desk came in and reset the channels. Waited roughly 4-5 hours. Beds are a little hard, but I am used to memory foam, so may be good for people used to a conventional mattress. Shower is amazingly hot and perfect with a shower head that actually has pressure. Breakfast is great, lots of choices, and very good orange juice. Overall, perfect location for us and easy to get to from London via coach. Rooms: Little small, but efficient for needs. Walkability: Easy to get to from coach, restaurant/pub nearby, and convenient mart in walking distance. Food drinks: Room service available, breakfast with juices and coffee."

"The food was excellent, but the service left much to be desired. The staff were quite pushy about taking our order, which didn't allow us much time to peruse the menu. This may have been influenced by the current restrictions, but it felt a bit overwhelming. Additionally, they served all the food at once. While the quality of the food was impressive, the staff could have been more friendly and personable instead of coming across as robotic."

"We ordered two meals from the meal deal. It took ages for the starter to arrive, we had to ask the waiter where it was. I had ordered hunters chicken for the main and when it came, I found it to be really salty, I thought it was the yellow/orange sause, so tried to avoid it, and realised that the red sauce was not BBQ sause, but a very runny (mainly tomato) bolognese sauce.So I complianed to the waitress, who then went ans spoke to our waiter, who told her that the chicken was alway with a bechamel sauce, but I could have more BBQ sauce if I wanted. I pointed to the menu that had no mention of bechamel sauce. Our original waiter came over and explained that they had a new menu and that the old menu had included bechamel and the kitchen were not aware of the menu change. He offered me a starter as compensation, I had already had a starter and did not want another. I ate the chips and onion rings, but the chicken was so awful, I left it. When I went to pay the bill, or original wait was no where to be found and we were left with a very nice young girl who had only been working there a week. She asked if we had been offered any compensation I said that we hadn't but felt we should have been, so she went to the kitchen to speak to our origninal waiter, who did not return with her, and she told us because it was part of the meal deal, that they could not remove any thing, and what we had would have been more expensive than removing the meal. So I ended up paying full price for a meal I did not eat! The customer service was terrible except for the new girl. The hunters chicken was not as described on the menu and unedible."

"My visit here was a total shambles. Before I asked to only have one waitress serving us, I ordered a drink, one waiter took the order, another delivered it and when I asked to pay the bill, another waiter appeared asking if I would like to pay the bill. When I said I had already asked for the bill, yet another waiter appeared to once again ask if I wanted to pay the bill. Please can someone get the waiters to talk to each other to avoid this constant barrage of people asking for information they already had. During this process our table host kept on coming over to ask if everything was OK, which clearly it wasn't and then didn't really listen to our answer, he just laughed. Then he kept on standing watching the football match directly in my way as if we weren't there The food was ok, ribs were poor, the salt and pepper squid had raw cayenne on the outside which was unpleasant and the chicken wings by all accounts were fine On a visit to the loo, there was no loo paper and no soap in any of the dispensers Overall the feel is that management are out of their depth and someone needs to take charge to ensure things run smoothly sooner rather than later. If you are going for a drink and to watch the sport then it could be a decent venue if they sort the leaderless waitering team out, but there are much better sports bars in London based on my recent experience."

"I had a lovely evening at the Plough and Harrow last night, the food was great and the service was exceptional! My waitress was Bonnie and she was absolutely fab, super attentive and friendly definitely deserves some extra recognition for going the extra mile to make our meal perfect. Thanks for a brilliant evening!"
