"After my first visit in late summer (meeting a NZ friend I had not seen for 7 years because of covid which made the meal even more memorable. I booked for my wedding anniversary and we had such delicious food the kind of food that makes you smile in fact the best food we’ve ever eaten at a restaurant. Delicious, fresh… the kind of food that is enjoyable to eat. And friendly attentive staff we loved our wine, champagne and coffee so much that we went over the road and bought it (along with mince pies, chocolate etc etc in the shop. A special place for special occasions"

"Yeah, 3 stars due to service just not being nice. Very little attempt at friendly banter with a group of 8. Overselling on side dishes when it wasn’t needed. No interest in repouring expensive wine or asking if we wanted more bottles when we finished first ones before main course. Food was not bad. Vibe was not really existent- these guys are phoning everything in and it shows."

"Service was just terrible! Usually really good, but this time we were just ignored. I booked outside, but just automatically tried to put us inside. Cleared a table for us outside, no problem. However whenever we wanted to order we had to shout someone over, no one ever came to check on us/take orders. The ‘host’ even said she had no idea where our tables hostess was "

"One redeeming feature was the service, waiter attentive and friendly, food delivered to us promptly. Unfortunately I cannot say such nice things about the food. Starters were the Doughballs and Calamari, both of which were pretty average. The 'herb butter ' (or whatever the dip for the Doughballs is called) was very bland, only serving to give the Doughballs a greasy texture. No complaints about the Calamari, but I won 't be rushing to recommend it to anyone. The mains however, were bad. We ordered the Beef Burger and the Italian Hot Pizza. The Burger was dripping in mayo, and I mean properly dripping think of a Christmas pudding with icing dribbling down the sides, that 's what this burger looked like. Fries served with the Burger were noticeably microwaved, but the Patty and Veg were passable. The Italian Hot is visually appealing, and the pizza base is okay, but my god were the toppings bland. If it wasn 't for my eyesight and a vague taste of cheddar cheese or monterey Jack, I would not be able to tell if I was eating warm soggy cardboard or a Pizza. I should note that the pizza is only topped by mozzarella, according to the menu. Thoroughly dull food, and quite overpriced for the quality. Why am I writing this? What did I expect, from a chain restaurant? Well, a lot more than this. I 'm by no means a fussy eater and certainly not one to leave 1/5 review for a soggy pizza base in Frankie and Benny 's. The real sin of this meal is what it does to the gut my partner and I feel physically ill after eating here, like we want to go home and eat lettuce for the rest of our lives to detox our bodies. It 's bad, and absolutely not worth the money. If you 're hungry, go to Tescos and get a meal deal, it 's much tastier, healthier, and reasonably priced. It 's not worth it."

"This is our local Italian deli, with the restaurant to the rear of the shop. The food is never anything less than wonderful, We've eaten here a lot and never had anything but a great experience. The kids menu is small, but adequate with pasta and pizza on offer and it's possible to tweak the items. The calves liver is my personal favourite, but having eaten most things on the menu at some point, you really can't go wrong here."

"Booked for valentines day. They could not find my reservation but we got seated anyway. It took a while before anyone came around to take the order. There were shells in my crab salad. The waiters did not pay attention as to when wine needs to be refilled. One of them nearly took the plate away from us without asking if we were finished. 2 mins after the second course was served someone came around and asked if we were finished with it despite the fact the plate was nearly untouched. Food was food overall but service needs to be improved. Definitely."

"We ordered the £90 steak for two to share for a special occasion. It took an hour for our starter to come out, and the steak was not of good quality, with a tough, chewy exterior and lots of fat. The portion of the steak that was cooked properly was tasty, but overall it was not worth the money. The table next to us had the same dish and it looked much better. We were unhappy with the service as our order was forgotten and the steak was rushed when it finally came out. However, the manager handled our complaint well by giving us a 30% discount on our bill and offering us a delicious dessert. Overall, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but I probably wouldn't return as the quality of the food seems inconsistent."

"The restaurant is lovely, but our experience was disappointing. There were 6 of us and the food was not good. The lamb kebabs and lamb chops were tough and unpleasant to eat. The service was also poor, with the waiter only attending to us when called. After paying a high price for poorly cooked food, we decided to never eat at hotels again. We had much better meals at other local restaurants such as Sawil and Marie Venna."

"The restaurant at the airport hotel has a spacious and inviting atmosphere that helps patrons temporarily escape the fact that they are dining at an airport hotel. The food is top-notch and we enjoyed a memorable last dinner together after 10 days of traveling through Italy."

"Positives buzzing bar, lots of people in lunch break. I went with baby in pram. Very easy to navigate around the bar and lift access to toilets/change room on first floor. Negatives waiter was a bit patronising. I asked if they served hot drinks, he laughed, rolled eyes and said 'we 're a cafe, of course we do ' pity he hadn 't left me a menu on our table to highlight this. I ordered hot chocolate, it wasn 't great. The BBC Apprentice losing team probably get something possibly better while waiting in the cafe for Lord Sugar to bring the axe down on one of their heads. I ordered chicken burger it was overlooked and would possibly have made a great chew toy for pets. Friend ordered regular burger. Same as mine, over cooked, dry and uninspiring. Maybe we just made a bad choice or the staff were having a bad day. I hope so as I used to really like this venue."

"My husband and I visited Zizzi in Manchester Piccadilly last night. The food was beautiful and can't be faulted but the staff service was awful! The waitress that attended us didn't know how to use her POS system and walked away from the table several times to ask her manager for support. When our food came out, the servers placed the food on the table and rushed away, did not ask if we needed any condiments; salt, pepper, sauce etc. Did not offer parmesan on the pasta and did not notice that my drink was empty The speed they walked away I could ask for a drink. I spent most of my meal trying to catch the eye of someone to order another drink but didn't get one until after I'd finished. I did complain about this, and the server kindly gave me a free diet coke. The service did not improve beyond this though. When our desserts came, there was no cutlery on our table to eat with, the waiter disappeared for several minutes to get cutlery and we were given teaspoons to eat them with my husband ordered the brownie Pizzette, good luck eating that with a teaspoon. I support the service industry wholeheartedly and usually tip 25% but I did not tip last night. The food was great hence why giving three stars, maybe in future we'll just order through a delivery service instead."

"Booked to come here to celebrate my Birthday with family. Have to admit, I haven't visited here since before 2019, my expectations were exceeded. They were most accommodating, due to the fact that some of my family members sadly became ill, so could not attend, however after informing Fiume, they were most gracious adjusted our table dinning requirements accordingly. The restaurant was very busy, however, that certainly didn't detract from the excellent attentive service that we received. From our starters of Crespella Ai Funghi E Salsiccia, to our mains of whole Seabass Flambe Di Gamberi, our food was superb, along with the very attentive waitress that looked after our table for our food drinks. It was quite a night, due to the fact that there must have been at least 6 other Birthday parties celebrating there, which was unusual to experience so many, . . just shows what a popular Italian Restaurant this really is. Thank You to all the staff chefs Fiume Italian Bar Restaurant, for making my Birthday celebrations an evening to remember. We'll definitely be back very soon."

"I like the Sauterelle, which is nearby and has always provided a pleasing level of refinement without being fussy. On this occasion, we were kept waiting at our table for a nearly 20 minutes before being even offered a drink or having an order taken. Service, this time, was a touch brusque. Perhaps some front-of-house staff had gone missing, leaving the rest under pressure. The wine-list seems to have been pruned recently (although I may be wrong about this) and is both lacking in variety and frankly expensive. Food remains very good, and the ambience is still discreet and pleasant."

"Fantastic food (huge selection we couldn’t make our minds up there were so many great things to choose from), great service and really helpful staff. It was easy to order and to amend the desserts so they were perfect for us. Have been to other places where this has seemed too hard for them to accommodate but not here. Can’t fault it. We’ll be back soon to work our way through the menu!"

"1.0 rubbish Maker and Waitress (Former Employee) Wembley 11 April 2019 unfriendly, poor pay, unsanitary. the way that the staff were talked to was completely absurd and they were even using gone off food at one point. they allowed children to burn their hands on the cookie dough plates a month ago The WORST experience ever. We ordered pistachio ice cream in cone and the nuts were out dated. My partner got sick due to that. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Reviewed 11 April 2023 via mobile Need to provide tap water Can’t give water to a breast feeding mother. Spent £45 on ice cream and milkshakes for the whole family but when asked if they could fill my water bottle up they said no. Why do I have to waste more money and plastic???? Staff were all running round but the service wasn’t very good. Never going back. Today's visit Came to treatz today with my daughters and partner and I wanted to go toilet and he refused me unless we ordered, which we was ordering Dry and tasteless cakes. No tap water Popped in for a treat and was disappointed to be told that tap water was not an option so I ended up spending £6 on three bottles of water.

"Visited with friends and was off to a bad start immediately. We had to request water for the table 4 times before it arrived. Service was very slow. Starters arrived and I enjoyed it, when mains arrived my carbonara had curdled, I tried to eat it but when mixing it up it there was so much oil under the pasta it made it very sickly. Another meal was inedible and returned with no offer of a replacement or alternative. Despite there being 90% of my food left they did not ask if everything was ok. When the bill arrived they had no removed the main that was returned and not eaten. When questioned the staff member was very rude. A manager came over as didn’t want to remove the service charge but then agreed to remove both mains that were not eaten. What annoyed me is the manager tried to say the rude staff member did not know as he was Ukrainian, then tried to guilt us into not removing the service charge by saying he was a University Professor and it is very sad….that has nothing to do with the quality of the food and his on point attitude that was clearly no language barrier. We will never return."

"I came in for a meal with my god-daughter who has just moved to Guildford. Olivo is a good restaurant and I have eaten here before so I felt it was a good choice for her first dining experience in Guildford. I was pleased that we had a nice evening. We shared a starter and then both had mains and coffee. The food was excellent as ever. Very nice service as ever from very professional cheerful and attentive staff. Very reasonable too. It was a good sign that the restaurant was busy on a cold dark Thursday in early January. I definitely recommend Olivo and will come again."

"This restaurant review describes the writer's first Christmas lunch of the season, which set a high standard for future meals. The meal consisted of up to 3 courses for a little over £30. The special Christmas menu offered some options that were also available on the regular menu, but the turkey ballotine was the standout choice. The dish, surrounded by roast vegetables and served with gravy, was described as large, flavorful, and succulent. The lamb dish was also enjoyed with great compliments. The food was well presented and served by a friendly and talkative host. The writer is tempted to return for another meal at the restaurant."

"Booked for a first date from a friends recommendation. Absolutely first class service and food. Cannot fault anything. The staff even knew who I was as I walked in, showing a great attention to detail. Food was spectacular and didn’t take very long to arrive. Simply cannot recommend high enough! We will be coming back."
