"Terrible experience at L’Orangerie. My friend and I had arrived in Sorrento for the day ready to find a nice place to have a drink and some food, considering it was 33 degrees we thought why not try find a nice pool to swim in as well. We walked past L’Orangerie poolside bar and restaurant and thought that sounded like the perfect place to spend our afternoon. After looking online to see if we needed to book, and seeing many openings for the afternoon we thought we would just walk in and ask as there were many free reservations. Upon arrival a staff member greeted us and we said we would like to have a few drinks by the pool, she said of course do you have a booking, or we said no (as after looking at the website it did not appear necessary, as well as looking around there were many free sun beds available) she said no worries I will check with my colleague. She turned her head for one second before then saying I am sorry we are so busy today. We were carrying backpacks as we had packed and brought a spare change of clothes as we expected to go to the beach, but upon arrival decided if we could find a pool that would be a better option. Dressed neatly in a linen skirt and singlet, whilst admittedly a little bit sweaty and flustered from the extremely hot weather I found the service extremely rude and conceited as they clearly had decided we were not good enough to be let in. My friend and I would have enjoyed more than a few drinks as we planned to stay in sorrento until a cooking class we had booked later that night. Would not return."

"We have been before and it was brilliant. However this is the last time I will be eating there again. The waitress was very rude and dismissive the whole time we were there. We ordered the T-bone to share and weren 't given the opportunity to tell them how we prefer it to be cooked. The steak then came blue massively underdone to our liking. This is not to say it wasn 't a top quality cut of meat because it assuredly was. However I was not willing to pay £95 for a steak that wasn 't cooked to my liking. After a rather long wait for the waitress to come back and ask how our meals were I ended up having to get up and go to see the manager to tell him I was unhappy with the meal and also the service, to which he replied, I 've been down to check on you 2ce and you never mentioned it then, what 's wrong with it now ? After which I told him he hadn 't been to check on us, as we had only just received our meal and that the waitress has been abrupt and rude all evening and that she hadn 't even asked how we would like our steak cooking before she disappeared off in a hurry. The waitress then joins the conversation from over his shoulder and said, I did ask and you said medium rare , which I wouldn 't have said as I prefer medium for that cut of steak and more to the point even if i did ask for medium rare the steak was blue! The managers response to this was to tell me to just pay for the drinks and not the steak. Rather than rectifying the steak and the service problem. After realizing I wasn 't willing to finish my drink but more than happy to pay for it he told me it 's fine and to just go. Safe to say it spoilt our evening. We drove an hour that night to enjoy a nice steak but went home hungry with a bitter taste in our mouths."

"In London for the week and enjoyed some especially wonderful meals all around. Le Boudin Blanc yielded mixed experience. Loved the ambience of the restaurant. Very pretty. Cozy. The food and wine was very good. It is not often that one finds Boudin Blanc on a menu, certainly not be on the spring time, and it was a pleasant surprise.. The meal and the presentation was very very nice. My only suggestion would be just a hint more sauce for the Boudin Blanc. Staff was a different animal all together, unfortunately. I arrived for a very early dining reservation – – I was the first one – – only to be met with a warning that they would need the table back by a certain hour – – instead of a welcome, in an empty restaurant. This is not the kind of restaurant where a single diner would otherwise linger with a coffee and an iPad. Service was very attentive until after dessert. And then, I couldn’t get anyone’s attention to bring me either another glass of wine, a coffee, or even the Bill. The sommelier finally came to take care of it. By the time I left, the first floor of the restaurant was only about half full, approximately 10 tables were occupied, With a staff of five, one sommelier, two servers, a busser, someone who looked like the manager, and a female staff member with a long dark braid whose only duty seem to be walking around the floor and doing absolutely nothing. I would have enjoyed a difestif."

"We went to Macellaio RC at Fitzrovia few days ago which I think it was Big mistake! I have been to Macellaio RC at South Kensington and Union Street many times and I love it, especially the South Kensington branch! Great atmosphere, amazing food and reasonable priced. Tried many of their starter, steaks and wine, they are always good. Unfortunately, our experience at the Fitzrovia branch was awful! I was so looking forward to it before going but after our starter, I was so disappointed and didn't even want to finish our meal there. Firstly, it was our mistake to order two glasses of House Red Wine which normally we would have ordered a decent bottle of wine. We were thinking to start with the house wine and order a nicer bottle for the meal, since the house wine was in their happy hour 2-4-1 offer. The House Red was absolutely disgusting, it was worse than cheap pub wine! We don't expect House wine to be good but as a restaurant famous for their steaks, I thought the house wine will be at least drinkable. After a tiny sip to try it we didn't touch the wine for the whole evening. Then our starter came, L'imperiale was the reason I wanted to go to Macellaio that evening. I was so disappointed and sad when I saw it, not only its at least 1/3 smaller than the one at South Kensington but also the quality of the meat was really not good. The tartare and capaccio were so dull, they looked more grey than red. I was so disappointed that I didn't even want our main course but since we have already ordered, we stayed too finish our meal. I was hoping the T-bone would at least make it worthwhile for us to spend our evening there. However, another big disappointment! They put so much salt on the steak that every bite was full of rock salt even though I tried to scrapped aside as much as possible. So we definitely will not go to the Fitzrovia branch again. I would still recommend the South Kensington and Union Street Macellaio RC though."
