"Bad food. Loooong wait both for drinks and food. Waiter (owner I was told) got 2 meals wrong. Brought calamari fritti for my husband and I which he never ordered in his life and I can 't stand them as they are like rubber in the UK so would never have ordered that. Waiter insisted I did, not once but 3x! My husband actually asked for whitebait! My husband ordered calf 's liver as a main which is soft and succulent in France, Germany and Greec etc. It was thin and like shoe leather. It is supposed to go into a hot pan, then turned over after a few seconds and taken out of pan served. This is what it should be like "A classic of British cooking, Calf 's Liver is succulently tender and fine grained with a deliciously mild, sweet flavour. More and more people are discovering the delicious flavour of Calf 's Liver due to its place on the menus.« I took it home to give to the dog and foxes!! My friend next to me (we were 13) ordered meatballs which were so salty she couldn 't eat them. Another lady didn 't like how the fish was done. It was mediocre. MY mussels had anorexia. I have photos. They were non existent or if there was one in the shell, it didn 't measure more than 5mm. 20 were empty and the sauce was not nice. Obvs they were not fresh mussels, they were cooked already and just heated up. Lots and lots of small broken shells in the sauce. Must have been the last dregs. Just as well I didn 't swallow one of the shards. Will I go back? No, I 'll go to a real Italian restaurant next time. Bragging about an Italian chef! He needs to go on a cookery course IN ITALY! I lived, ate and cooked there. I know what Italian food is supposed to taste like!!!!! And sooo expensive."

"I don't often write reviews, but felt i had to for Vine Leaves on Goldhawk road. I went there with my boyfriend two weeks ago, after realising that the really nice Greek restaurant on the same road had closed down. My favourite food is Greek and Im definitely more likely to go to a smaller independent place than the Real Greek at Westfield. It was a friday night and the place was empty. The waitresses abruptness was quite shocking at first, but i thought i'd give it a chance.I ordered Chicken Kebab and salad. My boyfirend had the Chicken Escalope and chips. The portions were huge...way to big for just two people. I started digging in to my chicken and realised I was eating a piece of uncooked chicken, very raw and meaty taste to it. I felt like i was going to gag, so wanted to spit it out...but then noticed that i was being eyed up by the owner and studpidly didn't want to appear rude, so tried to just keep on chewing this bit of raw meat. I managed to spit it out in to my napkin. Both me and my boyfiend started to feel ill at the table. We decided to pay and quickly leave. I have never ever actually felt immeadiately ill from a restaurant. I have now been sick for two weeks and had several days off work . So im assuming its food poisening.I am very wary of reading reviews and like to give things a chance. But i just felt i should let people know about my experience in advance."
