"When we first walked in the staff just didn’t acknowledge us there was no table of 6 available so asked if we could move the table of 2 and table of 4 together as they were next to each other and both free. At first we was told no and then after a bit of explaining we was told we’d have to wait 15 minutes so they could clear the table. There was a tray with a few empty drinks on. 15 mins was up so we all went in and sat down the tray with drinks on was still on the table and the table hadn’t even been wiped. After all getting settled the waitress finally moved the tray and explained they was busy. We ordered drinks and food together. The drinks took 20 minutes to come. I had coke in a bottle and a glass with ice in. My ice was already half melted. Over an hour later our food came out. Burgers were dry. The Mac and cheese was the worst thing I had ever seen. It was like really stodgy porridge and did not taste of cheese at all. Any time we asked the waitress something she just made it seem like we was asking her to go above and beyond for us when really we wasn’t being difficult even in the slightest. At the end we go to pay and they add a 10% service fee without even asking. Why would I want to pay 10% of my nearly £150 bill for a poor and quite disgusting service. The only plus’s side to this place was the decorations, the mayonnaise and the fact they allowed dogs in"

"I took my son there for a steak. On arrival, we were asked if we had made a booking and this was checked up on their screen. As the majority of the tables were empty, I thought they would fill up. However, by the time we left, the majority of the tables were still empty; begging the question as to why reservations were such a big deal on arrival. My son ordered a 12oz fillet steak medium which was butterflied rather than grilled whole which we did not understand as it came from the tail end of the fillet rather than the butt or prime end. I ordered a 12 oz ribeye medium rare. Both steaks came cooked exactly to order. The fillet was reasonably tender but the ribeye had membrane that had not been removed and made it quite tough eating. In addition the ribeye had been marinaded in some form of sweet dark sauce which could be clearly tasted and which spoiled the overall taste of the ribeye steak. The accompanying pepper sauce was rather bland. The fries and sweet potatoes were reasonable, the grilled tomatoes over-cooked and the mushrooms were good. The English mustard requested was in front French and I heard an adjoining table have the same challenge. I do not believe that they had English mustard on that night, or perhaps at all. When the ribeye was pointed out to the waitress, the response was a quite blase Oh really, well I 'll be sure to tell the chef . Apart from that, the service was acceptable to good. The malbec ordered was a little rough but quite good. We ordered tap water which came in spring-top bottles; a rather nice touch. Would I go there again? Possibly for a burger but not if I want a good steak."

"Me and my friends have been coming to Desco lounge for a while now but I can truthfully say this will be the last time that we visit. We ordered 2 lounge breakfast, whilst the drinks arrived promptly we had to wait a fair while for our food. When it arrived the bacon was burnt and the beans were cold. I went to the bar to speak to one of the servers as none had bothered to come and check back our food and were clearly far too busy on a Monday afternoon to accommodate us. The portion size difference was crazy aswell considering we had the same meal! We wanted to order some extra beans and toast so we asked one of the ‘waitresses’ if we could order with her, she answered very abruptly we don’t do table service. And were told we have to go to the bar or order online. It was as if we were being a pain asking her these questions. As we were waiting for our fresh beans our food was getting cold so once it had been 10 minutes since we had ordered the beans I asked the same server how long they would be she replied ‘you haven’t been waiting 10 minutes’ so I showed her the proof on my order. She walked away as I was still speaking with her and a few minutes later returned with my food. I wouldn’t even understand this behaviour if she was new as she was so rude to us, as if she forgot we were the guests. The worst thing is when you order online it asks if you would like to tip! The cheek of it!"

"With health and wellness being at the top of the foodie agenda once again, my search for amazing health food cafes in London suddenly got a lot easier. I even saw an article about green juice on the Daily Mail the other day- talk about mainstream! And although I'm truly a newbie to this way of eating, I am (literally) hungry for more. Thus today I am sharing one of my newly found favourites: Maple Fitz At the launch of ClassPass in London at Barry's Bootcamp we were kindly fed post-workout by Maple Fitz. We indulged in fresh, tasty and healthful salads that gave us that post-sweat pick me up in style. If you've never heard of them then get yourself down to their Fitzrovia store ASAP! Maple Fitz specialises in healthy, honest and whole foods. Everyday salads are made fresh and served up with optional extras such as chicken, salmon or halloumi cheese. My favourites include the Mexican Bean Salad, the dairy free Caeser Kale Salad and the vibrant Red Cabbage Soba Noodle Salad. You can mix and match 3-5 salads to eat in or take away, then explore their yummy treat table for healthy but naughty goodies. Whilst enjoying your salad why not soak up more vitamins with a gorgeous juice. These too are freshly made and stored in the beverage fridge to grab and go. Last time I visited I went for the Little Miss Sunshine to wake me up. This features a delicious blend of orange, grapefruit, lime, ginger and cayenne pepper. Now if anything is going to shake off any post-night-out tiredness it's definitely this juice. Prices start at £6.95 for takeaway. Maple Fitz can be found at: 36A Berners St, Fitzrovia, London W1T 3LY"
