The staff is friendly, and the restaurant is conveniently located within walking distance of the main bus station. However, please note that a 10% service charge will be added to your food bill."

"Nice restaurant with good food and great staff. The deco is very pleasant and has a lovely ambience. My choice of astice avocado was well prepared and presented. The ossobuco as a main was unfortunately a bit chewy, but when mentioned to the waiter was immediately removed and i was offered the choice of having it done again or order something else, perhaps the saltimboca, which i did and it was very well cooked. The seven layers dessert was delicious. The staff were superb but it felt that although they were trying their very best they were a bit overstretched. Having said that, i cannot fault them: they were professional with a friendly and helpful touch. All in all, the place is nice, with a good vibe, the food is good, bur for me what did it was the staff: they were absolutely fantastic from the moment i stepped in and i will certainly be back."

"Hungover and wanted a carvery delivered. The meat was the texture of what could only be described as, cabbage? almost as if it was boiled and watered down, tasteless to say the least. The promise of home made stuffing came to a burning halt when...i opened the box only to find out that I was sold a dream so be faced with a grey ball that was the texture of sand?? the roast potatoes were raw yet soggy? Don’t even get me started on the ‘cauliflower cheese’, nothing like dry cauliflower with no cheese. the array of 2 different vegetables was honestly what’s not to love about raw hard veg. Oh and not to mention it was stone cold upon arrival. Delivery time took 2 hours. Needless to say this is nothing short of an abysmal meal. but a let down with no other than smash and aunt betsy’s yorkshire puddings. wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy."

"We had a lovely meal here. Two adults two kids. Kids menu was decent. Me and my partner had the bang bang chicken to start which was lovely! Both had the fillet cooked medium, sides all really tasty and home made chips and onion rings! The only thing I didn’t like was the guacamole (I know guacamole with steak but I love avocado! it honestly was the most horrible thing so pale in colour and smooth as anything it was clearly out of a bottle and not homemade. But that’s personal choice I guess! I would definitely eat here again the flavour on the steak was unreal!"

"My boyfriend and I ate here for the first time recently and were so impressed. AL the tapas we tried was delicious, we were really impressed with portion sizes as well. The staff couldn't' have been any friendlier and we got a free fruit bowl for dessert and two shots as well. We will definitely be returning and would recommend it to anyone wanting a nice meal out!"

"here for Christmas moms. beautiful restaurant, but on a Tuesday evening at the beginning of December was in the grunde empty, only one table taken, although another table later taken in the night. presumably in comparison to bogaz in the moulsham street and eating was just as good. this restaurant is located directly in front of the actual center of chelmsford, but is recommended to visit."

"When we arrived punctually, we were greeted in a very friendly manner with the words "RESERVATION?" Equipped with the OpenTable reservation confirmation, I made it clear that I have made reservations for people in my name. After a quick glance at her rancid notebook, the waitress wanted to end the conversation with the words "No, sorry." After I again held the confirmation in front of her nose, came another sorry, you could not do anything before she fled to the cane. Then a gentleman accompanied us to the door. On New Year's Eve, finding a restaurant with people in a crowded city was simply impossible, and so, on behalf of people, I would like to thank the Bistro Grad Hometown restaurant for a failed start to the year"

"We had a peaceful early evening at the restaurant with attentive and friendly staff who were happy to accommodate us. The meal was excellent, and the cocktails were delicious and reasonably priced. The set menu was fantastic, but I couldn't resist ordering the tasty tiramisu from the main menu for my favorite dessert. We will definitely be returning in the future!"

"first little isanbul the owners changed a few months back and is now called nar meze grill. the restaurant has a lift and the food and service are now excellent. this means that all previous reviews for little istanbul no longer apply, including some of the more negative comments. I had a late Sunday lunch with a friend, we enjoyed a very pleasant bottle of cooled pinot rose before they start to beginner and mains towering in. because we did not eat meat, we ordered dishes from the good vegetarian selection, but there is also a large selection of fish and meat. too full for a pudding."

"Visited The Orange Tree on a Sunday afternoon, was busy as we arrived but as the tables are spaced, never felt noisey. Received a warm welcome from all the three staff, they were professional and relaxed, there was no rush for our meal, nice atmosphere. There is a large menu and special board and all our meals were top quality, I had the Chicken Roast, the potatoes were best I have had in ages and with eight different vegetables, top quality roast dinner. The are no real ales on tap, only in bottles. There is a car park for about 20 cars with lighting for these winter months. There is a farmer market attached to the restaurant. Its not dear for the quality of food and service. Wines start from £22 a bottle. I will recommend a visit."

"The restaurant was quite full at 7:30pm with large parties and noisy children. In fairness it was Valentine's Day. Whilst it is always nice to see families with children dining together the somewhat intimate ambience the brasserie seems to target does not seem best suited to young diners. Possibly the problem is that hotel does not offer a more suitable restaurant option for those with youngsters. The bar area serves food but is rather large and not exactly cosy. The food was OK. The onion soup was extremely tasty but the cheese in it was surprisingly over generous making it a struggle to eat. The wine list is as you would expect in a London hotel, was quite expensive but with some excellent options. I made the mistake of asking for a brief pause between starters and main which as it always inevitably does, turned into an unacceptably long delay."

"Menu half the size of what it used to be and service very slow. Due to the lack of options on the menu we had to ask for the menu from the lounge to cover some dietary requirements on our table. I'm pleased to say that this was no issue, but we didn't like having to ask to do this. A menu should be varied enough to please everyone. Also disappointed to find that there were only tables occupied whilst we were there and yet when we phoned to book we were limited to time slots due to availability! A table of arrived just after us who had booked and yet the staff didn't seem to have any reference of their booking. Sad to say that what was once my favourite restaurant in Westhill, I'm not sure that I will go back."

"where should I start? starts with a phone call (2pm) asking if I still need my table for 2 around 7pm, not really how I booked a table of 3 and confirmed my booking confirmation 3 people. I didn't think a problem was really wrong, but...now they're aware that there are actually 3 people as a confirmation. we should be so happy, we arrive on time at 7 o'clock the host on the writing rushes to his colleague to get her place a chair on the temporary table for 2 (this table has been booked since over 2 weeks) we are placed on a table that can only be described as coffee table that does not fit to eat. the waitress comes then all I can say is that I have never met such an rude waitress, I can suspect that she finds an alternative career, since hospitable is clearly not her field. no person should ever feel at eating, we were sitting for 10 minutes they were asking us 4 times when we were ready to order, we ordered our drinks, as we felt, so rushed into order something, she then asked about our food order, we did not say quite ready for eating again, so she rolled her eyes down and just went and had a good old moan about us to her colleagues. that was that the camels returned for us. we decided to leave the manager we left, she asked us what the problem was and to be honest, she couldn't take care less."

"I ordered takeaway here for the 1st time was “stupidly” unaware of what the various sauces were called. The man serving was not helpful arrogantly questioned what language I was speaking as I didn’t know the correct sauce names (I am English btw! . I said my partner was French but I was clearly English and speaking it so didn’t understand why he asked that! As we waited for the food outside, he thought I was out of earshot and shouted “learn to speak English”. I went back to challenge him on this disgusting comment and he seemed surprised I had heard and then tried to blag he was making a joke! He was NOT! Just because I’m not upto speed on the official names of his precious sauces, it does not make it acceptable to be so rudely insulted or at least make sure they definitely can’t hear you! Safe to say we won’t be going back. Oh and the food was ****!"

"Struggled to find a BYOB during the festival that could accommodate our group of 10-but were lucky enough to get a table at Kebabish last night. Very busy restaurant which had a lot of other large groups in too. The menu is pretty hefty with a lot of grill and curry dishes to choose from. I had the Prawn puri and then chicken tawa. The puri was very nice, tasty sweet sauce. The tawa was good, my chicken was tender but there were far too many peppers to the amount of chicken which made me feel a bit cheated. Portion sizes are huge-the mixed grill left some of the group unable to finish. Butter chicken had a uce sauce but quite dry chicken. Service could have been quicker, 2 hours between starter and main isn't great. Would eat from there again, but probably not to sit in."

"This was a curate 's egg of an evening and, judging by other reviews, a bit of a one off. I hope, for their sake, that it was. We were a late booking. When we arrived we seemed to be expected and were shown to a table, but then waited for a quarter of an hour for someone to bring us a menu or ask if we wanted a drink. I then followed the lead of others in the restaurant and went to get our own drinks form the receptionist. After we had been waiting for nearly 45 minutes, and after several waves, the waiter finally came to take our order. We had been planning to have the tasting menu, but that was off. There was no apology for the wait. After a further wait, our starter arrived and then after another delay the main course. Both were outstanding. Yes, that 's right, the food was great. I had a prawn starter and a chicken main; my wife a carpaccio starter and veal main. All four dishes were innovative and excellently cooked very far from the standard Italian you get. Desserts were good too. I had to go to reception to get the bill it seemed to bear little relation to what we 'd had, but seemed about right and we just didn 't have the time or energy to argue. So, all in all, a mixed evening. To be fair, it was a fairly busy restaurant, but there seemed to be only one waiter and a receptionist. The waiter was very busy and so not as attentive as he might have been. I can only assume that they were 'man (or men) down ' front of house and, perhaps in the kitchen as well. Had they told us that when we arrived there 'd probably have been a bit of a Dunkirk spirit and we 'd all have laughed about it and accepted that they were doing their best. But they didn 't, and most people around us were getting quite frustrated. As I say, judging by other reviews, this was a one off. I really hope it was, because the food was really, really good. But if I go again, I 'll take a book."
