"I and three ex-workers went to the city restaurant for our 3 monthly meet and as all previous meet we were not disappointed about eating, service or price. we had all three courses, none of us ordered the same, we had softdrinks, latte and tee and the bill came only £75. the standard of food and the care it presents on the teller is the first class! at least twice in the week to lunch and I am always happy with my lunch. a nice note is as soon as they go into the door, they are welcomed by all employees and when they leave, they all thank them!"

"Having stayed and eaten at a number of Intercontinental hotels and always been impressed, I decided to book Sunday brunch at Park Lane for Father’s Day. It sounded good and varied when booking but when we arrived, the restaurant was somewhat underwhelming (poor decor, dimly lit and not at all fitting of a 5* hotel as was the salad and cold buffet. At £70 a head I would have expected far more variety and a higher quality of produce. The bread rolls were cold and relatively tough (and not with the salad buffet at all but with the sweet buffet! Our waiter was very pleasant but clearly new to the role and not particularly responsive. The beef wellington was delicious and the star of the show and for a buffet the vegetables and roast potatoes were well cooked but the chicken looked unappealing and I would have expected whole chickens roasted and served rather than rather pale and unappealing thighs on a heated trolley for a five star hotel. The sweet section was okay but all very cake based and the cheese was again somewhat standard and without crackers, chutney/qunice or fruit. At an additional £8 a coffee, I felt ripped off for what was standard filter coffee at best and £8 for a small Diet Coke also felt steep. At almost £300 for two adults and two children it massively failed to reach expectations and I am unlikely to return to the hotel for any of its dining options in the future as a result. A real disappointment sadly and a waste of money. There are many, many far better options in London for a fraction of the cost…."

Italian Kitchen

Pizza • Pasta • Steak • Italian

"I'm really not one for complaining but my anger at the treatment I received in this restaurant is such that I feel I need to vent it as much as possible and let anybody considering eating here know how the management feel about paying customers. We came here with friends to celebrate our engagement and had a very pleasant lunch with great service. Then after we had paid we were approached by the manager and very rudely told we really had to leave now as he needed the table. We had no prior request to do so but we eat out all the time and are well aware that this is often asked of diners. Do not have a problem with this. Where my problem lies is the way we were spoken to and humiliated in front of a busy restaurant. He then went on to call us liars, argued with us and his response when we said we wouldn't be back was well don't be back We were basically dumped onto the pavement after paying for lunch. I hate having to complain and I'd rather fix problems when they occur but there was no talking to this arrogant little man. I read reviews all the time to make restaurant choices and I hope the management of this place realise that if you treat customers in such a shocking way that we can actually do something about and make others aware of what to expect. There is a vast array of other dining options in Glasgow so choose wisely and give your hard earned money to people who work for it and truly appreciate your custom."

Harry's Bar

Bars • Steak • English • British

"Came here for a business lunch, it was okay but nothing special. The bread on arrival, although a nice touch was stone cold. The wait for the mains was quite long, our waitress although polite she didn 't really seem to know what she was doing. She hovered a lot over our table when coming to take our orders or ask if the meal was okay, usually they just come over and ask with confidence but she just hovered over us until we looked up so we found this a little uncomfortable. My colleagues had steak, which one enjoyed, but others were bleeding on the plate. My avocado and crab was fresh and light, but the chocolate lava dessert, not sure what was lava about it, it 's described as a cake with chocolate sauce but the sauce was a drizzle of what tasted like the treat sauce you get from Tesco out of the bottle. I wouldn 't return sadly."

Pizza 1889

➤ Leisure Park, Clifton Road, CB1 7GX, Cambridge, United Kingdom

Pizza • Lunch • Italian • Ice Cream

"This review is about bad customer service as I can’t comment on the food. I preordered online. We live out of town so it’s a half hour drive into Cambridge. On the way I was very unwell and needed to quickly return home. We tried to call to cancel order, partner called and left a voicemail, and then emailed. We hoped to prevent the order being prepped/cooked (it was 20 minutes before pickup time) and we politely requested if a credit note was possible instead but of course acknowledged this may not be an option. However, neither the call or email has even been responded to, which is not much to ask of someone who has paid you £25."

Duet Cuisine

Steak • Pasta • Indian • Italian

"Great food and very accommodating with choice . Restaurant wasn't full but was quite busy as it was a saturday night. Kept waiting for quite a while before drinks came and also a long wait to take order. Wasnt asked if we wanted more drinks and was hard to get a waiter to acknowledge us or come back once we asked a question. However this doesn't normally happen and will always go back."

La Dolce Vita

➤ 760 South Circular Road Dublin, Co. Dublin D08 HV0A, Dublin 9, United Kingdom

Pizza • Italian • European • Vegetarian

"I had minestrone soup and penne bolognese. Felt authentic but relatively tasteless, had to take quite a lot of pepper and salt and parmesan cheese. I would have liked a little more intense tomato flavor and more herbs. Good bread for the soup. The pasta was overcooked and the tomato sauce a little burnt but very nicely presented. Still bottled water was very good (Acqua Panna Tuscany) The Esperanto macchiato afterwards had a lot of foam, big as a lungo but good and strong. Nice waitress but the restaurant looked a bit like a school canteen."

Mercante

Pasta • Pizza • Italian • Chicken

"First time with the Italian cuisine so we had no idea with the menu. Lovely and kind stuff! Stuff explained menu well. I asked for halal options and only chicken and seafood are their halal options. I asked for recommendation and she guided us well. Even explained what is red sauce, white sauce… Even basics~ She was kind and helpful. She suggested her favourite starters as marinated olives, focaccia olive oil, bread. Delicious! I can even go there just for their olives! Our glasses were never emptied because she always poured our water gently~ This was lovely. I had chicken milanese and my sis had linguine vongole. Chicken was delicious but I REALLY had hard time with cutting. Wasn’t juicy enough and hard to cut. Not sure if those knives were enough to cut it but my arm got tired of trying to cut, seriously Pasta was 10/10 no doubts. I had %50 discount coupon from TheFork Festival but they forgot to apply it even though I reminded them very beginning of the night. But they fixed so quickly so no problem at all~ But it is important to being careful and attentive. Definitely visit one more time for their pastas! Restaurant aesthetics so authentic and full of italian culture"

Piccolino

➤ 103 High Riggs, EH3 9RP, Edinburgh, City of, United Kingdom

Food • Pasta • Italian • European

"Booked lunch here after hearing great things about this place from friends. I wasn't disappointed! Located in a sunny corner of the west end Piccolino offers first class dishes, beautifully cooked using genuine fresh ingredients. The portions are generous to say the least and everything we ordered was top notch. What sets this restaurant aside and gives it a definite edge on its competitors is the really excellent service of its staff. We were served by Lorenzo and Alessandra who were probably the most professional and friendly waiters I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. We also tried Piccolino's take away Panzerotti fried pizza dough filled with mozzarella and tomato) which were delicious. Looking for quality food with great service? Piccolino should be on your list of places to eat in Edinburgh!"

Al Dente

"It was a quiet Monday night as we rolled up to Al Dente on Easter Road, a tiny Italian restaurant that sits unassumingly half-way down Easter Road. You’re instantly drawn to the Ospitalia Italiana gold award proudly stamped into its façade; in my experience, these less glamourous eateries always turn out to be a winner. There’s an open kitchen, and chef/owner Graziano is gabbing away in his native tongue to a friend. On entering, he is swiftly out to greet us, alongside our waitress for the evening. The Italian excitedly takes us through today’s specials and retreats back behind the stove. My starter tonight is warm-baked Apulian potato tart with cured meat and mozzarella £5.30), with Sarah going for ‘Sautee de pesce’ priced at £6.80. The dining room is immediately awash with the wonderful aromas of garlic and white wine, and with one large breath drawn in, Sarah boldly states “Mmmm, it doesn’t get better than that”. She might be right. Her dish comes out first and I was glad to see just a simple plate of mussels, calamari, prawns, clams, and a decent chunk of good bread to soak us those juices. The last time we ordered this in a restaurant the shellfish were full of grit; thankfully, this chef has given his produce the respect it deserves, and that respect extends to the cooking of it – simple, but effective, the way it should be. My dish was equally as good: quality ham, gooey cheese, crunchy top and potatoes with a slight bite to them – a dish most suited to this cold winter evening. Another couple of Italian gentlemen entered the restaurant and the banter between chef and customer flowed. It’s a definite indicator of authenticity when fellow countrymen dine in such restaurants, and a far cry from the more generic offerings that lie over on Leith Walk. I opted for one of the specials in the form of pork loin with gorgonzola, honey, and roasted vegetables £14.80). This plate is never going to win any awards for presentation, but its rusticity wasn’t without"

Birley Arms

➤ Bryning Lane, Warton, United Kingdom

Pub • Cafés • Seafood • British

"I recently tried the Birley Arms breakfast for the first time, after enjoying their Lite Bite lunches twice before. I must say, I was not disappointed - it was excellent. We arrived just before they stopped serving breakfast, so it was quiet during the transition from breakfast to lunch. Two of us ordered the large full English breakfast, which included perfectly cooked poached eggs, delicious sausages, bacon, Bury black pudding, beans, a well-cooked tomato, and toast. Everything was freshly prepared, tasty, and hot - we thoroughly enjoyed it. The third member of our group ordered the Rosti, which came with smoked salmon, spinach, poached eggs, and Béarnaise sauce on a rosti. She couldn't stop praising it, saying it was one of the best breakfasts she had ever had. All the meals were nicely presented and the service was attentive but not overbearing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place."

Blue Zenzer

Pizza • Cafés • Indian • Seafood

"I have been coming to this restaurant on and off for a few years, and every time I have encountered issues. Despite this, I kept coming back because the food is actually quite good. However, my most recent visit yesterday was the final straw. It seems like this establishment does not learn from its mistakes. I was told that I could no longer request a cocktail that was not on the menu (which had never been an issue before) because the waitress was unfamiliar with it. The food for my family of four arrived quickly, so quick that our drinks (1 lemonade, 2 mocktails, and 1 cocktail) had not yet been served. After inquiring about them, we were told that the barman was new. Despite this, we had to ask twice for a jug of water in the meantime, as we had no beverages. Strangely, the barman had no trouble making drinks for a couple who arrived after us. Our drinks still had not arrived after 45 minutes, and when they did, they came after we had already finished our meal. We sent them back. After speaking with one of the managers, who acknowledged our frustrations and attributed the issues to staff shortages due to illness (not new staff), we paid and left. To the owners of Blue Zenzer, you run a subpar business and should consider closing. It is clear that the customer is not a priority for you, and it feels like you take us for granted. Harrow would not miss your presence."

The Italian Garden

Pizza • Pasta • Steak • Italian

"I recently visited here during a weekend break in Kirkby Lonsdale and I was left extremely disappointed. I tried to book a table for around 8.30 9.00 but was told I could only have a table at 8.00. When I arrived I was asked to sit in the bar until my table was ready which was fairly quick as I was 5/10 mins early. I found the menu to be slightly disappointing and not very Italian inspired despite the name. My order was taken and my starter didn't arrive until around 8.45 which annoyed me slightly as I wanted to book a table later and wasn't able to. (By now the restaurant was almost empty). The garlic bread was lovely but the garlic mushrooms was smothered in pesto ??? The main courses were a complete disappointment once again the chicken pasta was smothered in pesto, probably to hide the fact that it was tasteless and only two pieces of chicken in the whole dish. The carbonara was all curdled. Rather than a smooth sauce it was all lumpy and separated. No black pepper or Parmesan offered. The portion sizes were decent and the fries were lovely. When letting the staff know how disappointed I was with the meal I didn't receive so much as an apology and they quickly asked us for the money and we left. I would definitely not visit here again. Apart from the appalling food I found that I wasn't treated how all the other customers in the restaurant were. This was my wedding anniversary treat and it was far from it!!!"

The Star Inn

Pizza • Kebab • Cafés • Asiatic

"I only stopped by here for a quick drink so I am really only commenting on the pub and the service in this review although I plan to come back to eat and possibly stay while walking the South Downs Way. I had been out in Alfriston for the day with the new boy and after a visit to the local gallery and a glorious walk through the Sussex countryside, we popped in her for a quick glass of red before heading home. The pub, like everything in the picturesque village of Alfriston, is old (14th century) and quaint. Think open fires, low wooded beams and lots of character. Wanting to make the most of the early spring sunshine we sat in the garden which is also beautiful. The service was reasonably friendly if a little brisk and the wine was decidedly average, but the surrounding more than made up for this. We bumped into friends that were having the Sunday roast and they also commented that they had waited a long time for the food and there was nothing special about it, I would like to try this for myself though before making a judgment, maybe something from the al la carte menu which look pretty tasty. I will be back and will happily update my review when I can judge the food for myself!"

The Prospect

Pub • Meat • Pizza • Italian

"We went to this restaurant for a birthday lunch and decided to order from the happy hour lunch menu. For starters, we had the pate with salad, which was very tasty. The salad dressing was delicious and everything tasted freshly made. For the main course, we chose the chorizo chicken pasta, which had plenty of chicken chunks mixed in with the pasta. The sauce was creamy and had a nice kick of spice. All of the dishes were freshly made and the service was excellent. We will definitely be coming back to try the two steaks for £35 deal, as the couple at the table next to us had it and it looked amazing."

"Booked last minute for 9 of us with 2 dogs, despite being busy they fit is in in the garden and we were delighted with the food and charming service. Pizzas were delicious, pasta (bolognese/cannelloni/penne Gorgonzola and seafood linguine) all very good, homemade and great value for money. Highly recommend."

"Asked a couple of ladies just on the high street if they could recommend somewhere to eat and they said 'Mama Mia ' . So husband and I went to said eaterie and it was welcoming lovely ambient place and we set out to choose our food ! Some Italian restaurants tend to all have the same taste but wow not this family run establishment ! I ordered the special (basically a seafood linguine but they called it a regu) Husband had The Penne Mama Mia which he loved . Also a garlic bread and for once not ripped off with the price of wine . A carafe 500ml of house red £12.50 Happy days !!! Husband had a lovely Italian beer bit pricier at £8.50 but loved it . The flavours were just lovely in our dishes and the family run touch shone through ! A good shout to those two lovely ladies that steered us to Mama Mia a jewel in the High Streets Crown indeed. Grazie !!"

Great menu choice also. I had the pasta demme chef and was a really good choice. Also let them know on booking we were celebrating a birthday and the team brought us out a cupcake with a candle and sang happy birthday. An excellent touch! Top marks would recommend to anyone."
