"Our visit to Romantica in Mere Green Sutton Coldfield with friends was the first in some time. It was busy on a Saturday night and the food was still excellent and the prices have risen by some margin. The starters were all tasty and included salmone affumicato, crochette di pesce (fishcakes), and two calamari fritti. For the mains we had the lasagne, pollo boscaiola and two manzo alla stroganoff. We had two side vegetables which were not as good as our previous visit over a year ago and the broccoli was al dente and too hard for pour paletes. For deserts we had two delicious tiramisus. The bill for four with drinks came to £165.00 and the service was excellent. Regards Gary Saunders"

"Dissapointed sorry. I feel that the restaurant is not as good as it used to be. The whole experience is somehow lacking now compared to what it used to be like. Todays meals were a starter of ribs and also prawn cocktails. They were nice and we had great expectations for the mains. Steak had to be sent back as we ordered medium rare but it was more medium well, the replacement was better cooked but found it to be to fatty, my missus did not finish it. Found the house special burger to be too dry, that’s both the burger and the bun it was served on, as well as lacking in seasoning, nope I never finished it. The main ribs for our friend was only half eaten too due to it being too fatty. In the past the Toby had been the place to go. You do seem to have lost your way unfortunately. The staff were attentive though and Carried out their jobs very well. The plates and left over food were cleared away and we were asked did we enjoy our food! We politely told them it was ok and not like it used to be, we were asked if we wanted deserts to which we said no, then within a couple of minutes the bill was placed on our table (we hadn’t asked for the bill though) but a lovely gesture from the front of house who came over and spoke to us and told us he’d given us a reduction on our meal as he had noticed that the ribs were fatty too. As the bill did arrive with out us asking for it then the royal Toby had lost Out on us ordering more drinks. So we decided to just go. Hopefully the next time we visit we will see an improvement and that Todays visit was just a minor glitch"

"This is a hidden gem in London. I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights with my daughter and from my first breakfast I was greeted with a very warm welcome from Albino who knows the names of every single guest and always smiling and friendly with everyone. Asrar is another great team member who is making amazing coffee and so friendly as well. And their manager Cesar who is taking care of every single detail 24/7. I wish I got all the names of the staff as all of them deserve a big recognition. The breakfast buffet is very good and offers a nice variety . The dinner menu offers a delicious Italian selection. Simply this is a must try restaurant. Grazie squadra"

"We've eaten here in the past when we go to visit an elderly relative in West Bay. On this occasion, we ate at 6.30 on a Tuesday evening. The pub was moderately busy, but it was a wet and windy night! We both had fish and chips which was okay. Portion size was adequate, but if you're a big, hungry man, it wouldn't necessarily be enough. Fish was quite nice, but chips a little underwhelming in my opinion. What I found extremely annoying was the addition of a 10% service charge automatically applied to the bill. It wasn't even mentioned by the member of staff. I always get it removed. If I want to add a tip, I will decide how much, not the restaurant thank you very much!!! My husband was slightly surprised when I paid the bill as it was. He queried it when we were outside, and I said I had paid the service charge because they had missed of a pint of beer and a large glass of red, so it was reasonable value, and one up to me! We won't return in the future."

"The food was amazing. And the staff were kind, considerate and helpful. Dietary restrictions: They have a comprehensive gluten free menu. Other dietary requirements are found in a folder, though to get gluten free and milk free I had to cross check as the allergy page is on the base menu not the gf menu. However upon seeing my difficult I was supported and two sides made into a dish that supported my dietary requirement which in my opinion the sign on good clued up kitchen staff as well as great service from the service staff."

"The service at this restaurant was exceptional, receiving a high 4-star rating. The staff were friendly, attentive, and prompt in taking our orders and ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. However, the atmosphere of the restaurant only received a 3-star rating. While the decor was nice, the overall ambiance was lacking and didn't quite live up to our expectations. Despite this, the excellent service made up for the slightly underwhelming atmosphere."

"NO REGRETS! I was greeted by the warm front of house team upon arrival and swiftly guided to my table. The waiter serving me was kind and courteous, ensuring that my needs were fulfilled in timely fashion. The decor, layout and ambience were pleasing to the eye and led to a pleasant dining experience. Onto the more important bits (for me anyway)....the food was simply AMAZING. I opted for the mixed grill, the chicken tikka karahi as well as cheese naan and fries. The fragrances were mesmerising and the presentation, great. I was pleased with the flavours and the food was undoubtedly cooked with love and expertise. The serving sizes were generous and filling too. The star of the show was the lamb chops. I found myself wanting to lick the bones. Such was the flavour profile and quality of meat. And if I was in the privacy of my home, I would have done just that hahah. My Dhabba Coventry is definitely a solid addition to my list of regulars for a good night out. A big thank you to Noor and Masood for their kindness, generosity and hospitality. Truly appreciated, Khurram"

"Been 33 Years since I have been in this pub. Worked there full time in my younger years when John Bond was the landlord. Its changed a lot since i was there. I have taken 1 star off due to the quality of the meat, Home made roast they said and everything was great apart from the meat being sliced meat and when your paying over the odds £16.99) for a roast dinner you would expect real meat. £5.40 for a Pint : as well. Staff very friendly. They need to address a few things as it could be a booming pub for meals."

"I have visited this pub a few times whilst visiting friends in the neighbourhood. I walked past the other day and had to nip into the bar to ask the bartender if I could use the toilet. Fair enough I had to buy something although was happy to make a charitable donation. What really got my goat and I felt had totally went against good customer service is that the lady insisted I make payment before going up to use the toilet (which didn’t help as I was desperate to go and am diabetic). If that is how the bartender treats people then I definitely will not go in there again. Ok I may have just needed to use the toilet but for all they know I may had plenty of cash to spend in their pub at a later date. Not impressed!!!!!"

"We visited this restaurant for the first time on 15/09/20 for a birthday celebration and I was thoroughly impressed. The background music, customized drinks, and exceptional customer service exceeded my expectations. I wish all restaurants would treat their customers the same way. The pricing was great and the food was delicious - we couldn't stop complimenting each dish as we ate. I would give this restaurant more stars if I could and I will definitely be returning with friends and family."

"Covid blamed for all shortcomings as has become the new norm but poor service standards, cleanliness and prep are a given minimum expectation when you pay for a supposed' high class meal. Booked well in advance and made it clear that one of us was gluten intolerant. Found our booking but had to request a GF menu! Didn't have one so doctored a normal one. Starters were OK for veggies and fish eaters but nothing otherwise. Venison was chewy. Portion of fries missed. Cutlery was cheap, tables sticky, drab atmosphere. Ate here some years ago and really enjoyed it. This experience was therefore very disappointing. Makes me wonder what the rooms are like?"

"I haven’t been to Southport since I was 12 and we stayed at Pontins! I am now 62! Today I went with my son and grandson. We arrived very early, sadly the pier was closed but we walked on the beach which was lovely. We then walked through the centre and luckily stumbled across the tea room. I just loved the whole place, the decor and the ethos was amazing. The furniture and the clock chiming reminding me of my grandparents home as a child. I loved the music too. The staff were so friendly and so professional. My grandson was fascinated by their delightful manners and it was so lovely because I am constantly trying to remind him of the importance of manners. My son and I had the full English breakfast. It really was fabulous. My grandson is a really fussy eater and said he wasn’t hungry. He ate one of my sausages and later on said could we go again so he could have his own breakfast. I can safely say we will most definitely return in the future. In this very modern world of fast and bland food your tea room proved that quality, tradition and fabulous food can be found in ‘The Westminster Tea Rooms, Southport. THANKYOU. The Ingham family, Halifax."

"We decided to come here for dinner after having lunch last year. I’m not sure why we waited so long as it was lovely. I can’t fault the food at all, our steaks were cooked to perfection! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was down to service, we were in a side room and the staff only really came in when they were delivering food. It wouldn’t stop us returning as the food was fabulous."

"We arrived a bit late but phoned ahead. We were told they stopped serving food at 8.30 and they asked the chef if he could squeeze us in- we were told he could but we had to choose our food quickly, what a wonderful way to be welcomed! When we ordered we were told they only had limited amounts of food- ‘you have ordered the falafel- you’re supposed to get 8 but we only have 5 left’ (and then 4 arrived . I ordered the vegan curry (as someone who has not eaten meat in 30 years . What was served was a chicken curry. I took one bite and spat it out- I can tell the difference between a dead bird’s rotting carcass and actual food a mile off. Feeling sick, I went to the toilet, and whilst I was there the server tried to convince my boyfriend I had ordered the chicken curry (yes, of course I had! . When I came back to the table she tried the same number on me. Vegans don’t order chicken curries. FFS. The worst service, the worse food, just the worst."

"Absolutely fabulous food. We were so glad we chose here. My husband had pate as a starter then the roast of the day which was beef, thick slices of proper roast beef and beautiful fresh vegetables. I had as a starter the fishcake. My main was huge haddock and chips which was so fresh, delicious.All this for £15.95 plus £1 extra for the haddock. I cannot recommend The Seabirds enough. The staff were efficient and friendly and a quick service. We shall return to lovely Flamborough just to eat here!."
