"My fiancée and I dropped in for lunch as we were passing and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience The staff and especially the owner are incredibly welcoming and the restaurant itself has a great vibe. The deals are fantastic and offer a lot of bang for your buck. Because of that we were really surprised at the fact the food was so well made and incredibly tasty. Would definitely recommend this place and especially their buttermilk wings to anyone Don’t often write reviews but when you find a local place as good as this, you have to show your appreciation. Will definitely be coming back! Thanks guys"

"I've slept on this review because this is someone's business and their hard work is important. What was ok good was the starters and the appearance of the restaurant, clearly alot of work went into place. The main thing was service. Sat down just after 17.30 and things were extremely slow. Staff not attentive and at points rude. Had to ask for glasses to be removed as table was getting cramped with dead glasses. Had to ask for more drinks. Had to ask for plates to be removed. Never been in a restaurant where they deliver drinks one by one, dinner one by one, from the point of the 1st meal arriving on the table there was 8 10mins long minutes until the last meal arrived singularly with gaps.... table of 8. Quality of food was poor, cheese burger a stable of a USA themed place was cold, extremely compacted and cold and minus the cheese. Sent back arrived with 2 ice cold slices of cheese stuck on the top. Lamb shank thing was dry, tasted very salty and for the price extremely underwhelming. Chicken on the chicken and ribs was overcook dry and blackened. Ribs were quite nice. Some ingredients seemed cheap..... and for the price point it should not seem cheap. To be fair the curry was very nice and maybe we caught the place on a bad day. I did speak to the owner who apologised but not really accepting of any negative comment. A three plus hour visit which felt drawn out and overall unimpressed."

"We first heard about Holyrood 9A through an online blog whilst looking for dog friendly places to eat and drink in Edinburgh, and were very happy to find it very close to where we were staying. We visited twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times the staff were very friendly and attentive, food was delicious and we really enjoyed the selection of beers and cocktails. Also on both occasions, our dog was presented with a dish of water and some biscuits on a little silver plate he was very appreciative! Definitely on our list to revisit and recommend."

"Having eaten at this establish countless times before during my childhood, it seemed the perfect place to remedy the vestiges of alcohol in our system from the night before. Eagerly, my friends and I downloaded the Pizza Express app, a clever scheme by the restaurant to encourage students such as ourselves to visit the restaurant given the billion pound debt faced by the company. My friends both enjoyed a free dough ball dish for signing up whilst I refrained from ordering due to lack of appetite, saving my deals for another day. The food, as expected, was bog-standard, run-of-the-mill pizza express, food that we have all had before and will most likely have again. This was just about nice enough to justify the expenditure due to lack of proper competition in the area and the proximity of the restaurant. However, that being said, it was slightly sloppy, stodgy and lacking structure, typical to that of pizza express pizzas. No major complaints arose from the quality of the food as it was no different to that purchased usually from pizza express. However, our qualms with the experience arose from the mistreatment of our group by the staff. The attitude of staff was blunt in the settling of the bill, which had to be adjusted only once to include our offers on the app, necessitating the printing of a single extra receipt. This was met with frustration and disdain despite the fact that my friends had never used the app before and were unfamiliar with its operation. Given that my demographic, younger students who may not normally opt to eat there without the deals, is the target of these schemes, I was surprised by such shortness from the staff and at the different treatment given to young adults. That being said, the staff were, on the whole, very helpful. However, it is such a shame that only one waiter in particular ruined the experience over such a trivial issue. On the whole, the food was just about up to standard. However, we left with a bitter taste in our mouths and the desire to leave a review for the first time given that this behaviour was so out of order."

"My wife and I have visited all of the Character Inns on the island and in each the staff have been very friendly. The Caulkheads is no exception, though this is our least favourite of the group. Despite being the nearest geographically to where we live on the island. It is perhaps because we have visited at quieter times, in winter, when the pub was still rather cold, that it has seemed less inspiring. Though admittedly, we have been disappointed by the food here too, which arrived slowly and less warm than I would have liked. perhaps again, due to being during colder weather, more difficult to keep hot. We haven't given up on The Caulkheads, we will try another visit sometime, perhaps in the Summer months."

"Poké has become a popular food trend in London, and Tombo Fitzrovia is right on point with their menu offerings. Guests can choose from classic poké bowls or create their own customized dish, making for an interactive dining experience. I recommend trying the Classic Poké with Salmon or Tuna, as well as the Kaisen Poké with Salmon and Tuna. Vegans and meat-eaters alike will also find delicious options on the menu. I particularly enjoyed the fresh and flavorful tuna and salmon sashimi, as well as the Hello Kitty Poké bowl with salmon, black and white rice, and edible flowers. The dishes were well-prepared and satisfying. The restaurant also offers a variety of award-winning matcha teas, including the Hello Kitty Matcha Latte. The matcha desserts, such as Matcha Tarts and Cheesecakes, are also worth trying. Overall, Tombo offers a fantastic dining experience with high-quality food, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere. Whether you are a fan of matcha or new to poké, this restaurant is a great place to explore these unique flavors."

"This location should, in theory, be 10/10 experience in my opinion.. Wonderful building.. Various parts to it, as in a nice main restaurant, with plenty of seating of varying styles.. A canal right next to it with narrow boats meandering past the location.. So why was our experience dissapointing .? Ok.. Service by staff was hit and miss.. And you can't say there wasn't enough staff on duty on a gorgeous Sunday lunchtime.. In main restaurant.. The marquee extension and seating outside, staff were plentiful.. But if you have staff just twiddling fingers and not watching customers, whether for food and drinks orders,or actually trying to pay the bill at the end of our time there.. Lost count of number of times we asked for our bill please .. Finally , one young lady got the bill.. Then vanished again.. She came back a short time later, and said she has to wait for the card machine.. Seriously, has such a large, well established business only operating a small number of card payment machines that customers have to sit and wait..? After around 10mins, we just got up to walk to one of the various cash till/ screens, dotted around the location.. But here again, we just didn't get served , until a gentleman in a grey polo shirt asked if he could help? Absolutely you can..I said to him.. Can we PLEASE PAY OUR BILL..???? We've been waiting far to long to just pay our bill.. Suddenly a card machine was made available.. Billl paid,we left... The actual cusne was very nice.. Couldn't fault that part of our experience.."

"Every time I walk on the carpet, it feels dirty. Perhaps it's time to install wooden flooring? Our table was also sticky. We were seated with other families with children, which I assume was to not disturb those without kids. I ordered the ribeye steak well done, but it came slightly red in the middle. For £22.00, I expected a higher quality piece of meat, but I could have bought a better steak from the supermarket and cooked it myself. It was definitely not worth the price. It seems like Harvester is cutting corners and making a large profit by serving the bare minimum with their meals."

"the service was fast and the staff was very friendly. drinks can be ordered directly on the bar or via the app. Eating was excellent. However, I was somewhat disappointed by the very small part of the frying (a small one than the smallest at mcdonald’s) not enough to fill, but they were extremely tasty as the burger who was a normal acceptable size. I would definitely recommend it here. the atmosphere is pleasant and feels airy. it is the feeling of an independent and the efficiency and consistency of a chain."

"We visited The Plough on two consecutive nights on the basis of reviews and because we could walk from where we were staying in Kelmscott. Neither experience was great. First night we both made the mistake of having the Double Gloucester cheese soufflé. Let 's just say this was not what we expected a cheese soufflé to be. It was more like a steamed pudding in a bowl of cheese sauce with grilled cheese on top! Neither of us could finish it and it gave my wife such bad indigestion that she couldn 't eat any of her rather greasy chicken escalope main course. Avoid at all costs. The second night we both opted for the steak frites. This was passable but the meat had obviously been standing for a while as the beure café de paris on top was not melting, it was so cold. We were hungry so couldn 't be bothered to send it back but we did query it as the plates were being cleared. The message came back from the kitchen that there had been no delay . But that just sums the place up. The waiting staff had no idea what they were doing and took an age to do anything. We ordered sparkling wine as an aperitif (once I had found the wine list for myself! and this was left for several minutes where we could see it going flat before anyone bothered to bring it to the table. We ordered wine to go with the mains and we had to ask for it again as we were at risk of finishing eating before it arrived! To summarise, set your expectations low and you might have a nice time and avoid the cheese soufflé."

"We went here for lunch and we sat in bar there was a small additional restaurant area but we were happy in bar. A nice selection of beers ,food was ordered from a blackboard menu,my wife had the Thai red curry my wife said it was very hot which was perfect for her ,I had the Venison and red wine stew the meat was very tender ,we both agreed both meals were very tasty and as good as we’ve had anywhere. My only small criticism was that when my wife finished her food she pushed the plate to one-side at which the barmaid ask to take it away while I was still eating and was asking me while I had a mouthful of food if we wanted desserts Would we go back YES."

"I’m a big ice cream fan and have tried many spots throughout the city. I decided to try this branch at the recommendation of a friend, travelling an hour out of my way to try it. I was stupendously disappointed, both by the place and the ice cream they are apparently so famous for. I chose to sit in in the cafe upstairs so I could have a more elaborate sundae. I ordered a fudge sundae with some extra toppings. The ice cream itself seemed rather bland. The flavour wasn’t at all noticeable and the toppings were sparse at best. Additionally, there were definite problems going on within the staff. The waiter who served me was very sweet and made sure I had everything I needed, a very young man who was incredibly friendly. But there was a very unpleasant woman who was frequently back and forth throughout the place who I assume to be some form of management. The staff definitely seemed on edge around her and she wasn’t particularly pleasant when I stopped her to ask about the take away tubs this was only because she was transporting some. Her attitude rather upset me as despite the lacklustre sundae, I was rather enjoying my time there. I had planned on taking some home, hoping the tubs would be better when I could add my own toppings. Although, after this experience I decided to quickly get my bill from the (very efficient) waiter and leave immediately. I certainly wouldn’t wish to return and would recommend others don’t attend either."

"Profoundly mediocre food, not a patch on the previous Nick's sadly. Pizza used to be great however that is no longer the case. Lacking in atmosphere and any shred of sophistication, used to be a nice place to pop in for a glass of wine, not the case any longer. Constant cheap offers are just a sign of a failing establishment. It is so far off the mark for the neighbourhood you really have to question the logic of those behind it. Gimmicky cheese wheels and unhealthy and outdated ice cream stations aimed at children are suited to out-of-town retail parks not what should be and once was a quality neighbourhood restaurant loved by locals and visitors alike. Hopefully the next revamp will come quickly and restore Nick's to the quality, more sophisticated neighbourhood restaurant it used to be. A real pity."

"great restaurant! today, 30th januar 2022, we were in a company of 4 people and each ordered various dishes. a rare case: in this restaurant we liked all 4 dishes. we ordered the following dishes: steak with egg and chips, smoked salmon and garnel cake with potatoes and cheese, chicken and burger with chips. I think everything was very delicious. I am quite picky about the quality of the food, but I take my hat in this restaurant. I strongly recommend: go there to eat, they won't regret it, and I would also like to say about the work of the staff: about lob! everything was cooked in 15 minutes, various workers were interested in how we liked it, is everything in order with us? we enjoyed eating there."

"Myself and my family have been to the pizza cafè on various occasions over the past 5 to 10 years. I remember going with my parents from a young age on a Saturday or Sunday as a treat and in my adulthood visiting a few times. Each time I’ve gone sadly the character and standards of the place have continued to decline. The food is average although the prices are still rising, and the service can be quite poor. The pizzas used to be a lot tastier (and bigger), it all seemed fresher, served with a smile and fairly quickly… however on my last visit after being seated me and my partner waited a good 15minutes to be asked which drinks we’d like to order in which case we had already decided what we wanted to eat and quickly ordered not knowing how much longer we’d have to wait for someone to come and take our order again. Then nearly 45mins to an hour later our food arrived! We almost walked out at one point. It wasn’t particularly busy this night either. We had slow service, the food was not worth the price, and we also seemed to be waiting a lot because of a seemingly new staff member not knowing what to do and keeping asking for advice or simply handing it over to someone else which unfortunately I think is what happened to us. I appreciate people have to learn but there should have been a better system in place for someone to help out rather than cause a disruption on a Friday night which could have been a lot busier and caused more delay. I would probably go here again but my expectations are tainted unfortunately."

"This is such a friendly and welcoming place to eat and the team alway seem to remember my preferences. The managers (Ethan and Danny) have gone out of their way to provide alternative salad ingredients around my required dietary intake over recent weeks and I love the the fact that the whole team, including the pizza chefs, add to the experience by interacting with customers. A very efficient service, lovely food and the App rewards are a nice bonus too."

"Visited for the first time here yesterday and was immediately impressed with the excellent customer service . We turned up 10 mins before opening, as a large group of 9 kids and 7 adults without booking and was so impressed that they opened the doors early for us as it was so cold waiting outside (without us asking) All the kids loved the big choice of reasonably priced waffles, crepes and flavoured ice creams . Have been to Creams several times too but Twists is definately on par food and staff wise , if not better . Will definately be returning soon to Twists ...Thanku "

"I have a medium-sized cattleburger with cheese and my wife had a chickenburger than take. she really enjoyed her. my burger was delicious. it has always amazed me how difficult/stored it is for restaurants to get the meat part of the burger right. it only has to be fresh, not mined in the hell and not solid like a brick. to reach one of me, it would have had only the cheese, the fase, the burger and ketchup and tomaten. no girke, that's it. I also hate the fact that many places seem to do like standard brooche bungalows. so unnecessary imo. the belltail was perfect. really good work. will try out the veggie options in the future."
