"Booked for last minute Mother’s Day lunch on their ‘wine and dine’ £40 deal for two and it was perfectly pleasant. The place was empty except for one business woman having a late lunch, which is a shame as the place was pleasant enough, the title of this review. The wine was standard Italian fare, lightly bodied rather than a Merlot or Primitivo. The squid rings were actual squid and the haggis bonbons were very meaty. The main meals of the burger (with haggis) was good, with a home made thick burger. The fish and chips were of a good standard, light batter but slightly tasteless fish (perhaps some extra seasoning or paprika would have lifted the dish). The fish was however not ‘wet’ as it can be elsewhere so cannot really complain. The dessert were HUGE, the star being the sticky toffee cake with soft caramel centre. The staff were pleasant enough, with a shift change half way through. The only big downside would be that, given it was late afternoon, the sun was streaming through. So we could not really understand the rationale behind having the heating turned up, with the radiators being right up against our window fronting table. We came out of there thinking we’d spent lunch in a sauna."

"We visited on Saturday, the night before the marathon. We booked a table. Came in, seen it was busy, so thought this is going to be good. We were seated late which was fine, no problem. We sat next to another couple, (tables were close) we ordered some drinks then our meal. Drinks arrived on our table, weren’t ours, it was the next table. We waited an hour for our starters, tables were coming in and getting served. A table of 6/8 came in and got their starter and mains before us. There was a lot of cross words at the boy in the hair band which I thought he was doing all the work and was very kind if I am honest. Garlic bread came was so dry. They kept going by saying have you eaten? Have you ordered? Have you had mains? Our mains came out an hour later and they didn’t know who it was for. The table next to us actually had to point out it was our food they heard our order. Being a restaurant manager I would like to say… 1. Don’t argue or talk to staff badly, anywhere, but especially not on the floor, I actually think it was maybe husband and wife, it’s not good in front of customers and I know it’s hard and frustrating work, but I don’t even think any of the customers were being rude, the people I heard ask where food was were all being polite. 2. We understand it was busy and every business needs money but don’t take in more people than you should. 3. When you sneeze please do it into your arm and not your hands then don’t wash them, I genuinely couldn’t believe it, hygiene is huge, especially in catering. I’m genuinely shocked I still ate my food after the person touched my plate later on. as they didn’t go anywhere near a sink or a sanitizer. Our mains were lovely. I hope the famous athlete who was in the restaurant at the same time got his food on time and amazing service. But, I do genuinely believe on a normal busy night this restaurant would be fine, just a few tweaks needed. 2 stars lost due to my hygiene comment and how they were openly arguing with one another."

"Supposedly Butlers restaurant in the Chesterfield Hotel is known as a fine dining restaurant but in actuality it is a huge, mismanaged disappointment in almost every respect. One is at first we were shocked to see one half of the nicely appointed dining room permanently closed and out of service. We now understand after experiencing the Butlers food and service, it is apparent the regularly dining public is staying away. Why? Well to just name a few of the startling inferior aspects of the Butlers..... First let me assure the reader our traveling family was expecting a well prepared and well served expensive meal which was our goal. A goal we had no problem in fulfilling elsewhere in renowned London restaurants. Caesar salads were served with zero dressing with no attempt to reconcile this lack despite bringing it to the attention of the otherwise friendly but poorly trained staff. Most of our party of eight ordered salads but half of them came 15-20 minutes after the others were delivered. Some main dishes were barely warm and the sauce for some seemed to be nothing but plain unadulterated bouillon or Vegemite. and the accompanying potato mash was totally unheated. Plus after pointing this out and waiting 15 minutes for a warm mash, they served lukewarm mash again. One of our party wanted tequila on the rocks in a salt rimmed glass. The maîtresse de was dumbfounded and said just use the sale on the table which is impossible to do in a filled glass. There is much more lacking at Butlers, but suffice it to say avoid Butlers like the plague. I take no joy in reporting this and merely wished for an upscale and happily memorable dinner."

"I visited this restaurant with friends on a Saturday for the bottomless brunch and had an outstanding experience. We were served by a gentleman named Chris who provided exceptional service. He was friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond to assist us. The food was delicious with a wide variety of options and generous portions. It was also great value for money and conveniently located in Angel. Overall, our experience at Bills was fantastic and Chris definitely deserves a raise!"

"Great service at Bills, really safe. Actually one of the safest restaurants I have been to. Temperature check on arrival, masks, social distancing and hand sanitizer on every table. Quick and friendly service but we were let down a little by the food. The poached eggs unfortunately had no taste and the rest of the breakfast very salty. I have always loved bills and raved about the food but on this occasion we were a little disappointed by the food. Would still go back as it’s a lovely ambiance and not uncomfortable with social distancing. Maybe just an off day on the food front. I did eat my breakfast as I was starving and I’m sure if I had said at the time it would have been resolved"

"This was my third visit and I loved it. They have the best brunch menu with breakfast and lunch choices and the waiters top your prosecco glass up very frequently! The service is great. Also, I love that it’s three courses as you feel it is good value for money and like a proper meal. One tip-lose the blue macaroon! :o)"

"Considering your post what a shame that your manager chose to shame my girlfriend and I on a recent visit for a meal because we are exempt from wearing masks. On two occasions we told staff we were exempt and had it shouted across the establishment that we need to have a mask on as we waited to be seated. Also then for a member of staff to ask us to wait whilst they ask their manager if we are able to be allowed in. Upon being seated the manager, who I have to add has been great on previous recent visits and always welcoming and friendly, then came over and again asked why we didn 't have masks on and that we needed letters as PROOF and that anyone can claim to be exempt . This was done with zero discretion and in front of other customers. There is no legal obligation to provide proof and that is on the official government website, my girlfriend checked this after the manager walked away. We both felt totally embarrassed to have been asked further in front of other customers and to have to be told we have to provide proof of our exemption. The dealing of the whole situation was disgusting and to be spoken to in such a manner for having an exemption. My girlfriend felt we should have said something after the meal but we chose not to. I fully understand this year is a testing time for everyone and especially the hospitality trade at the moment with curfews also but of all days please show some understanding and awareness that people have good reason to be exempt from wearing a mask and beyond a visible reason. I just hope you are more welcome to future customers regarding the wearing of masks and don 't choose to belittle and shame them in front of other customers. There are several reasons for being exempt of wearing a mask, one being them causing distress and anxiety, with relevance to today and your post, so I hope you can please show more understanding in future."

"The staff were lovely, but the room is generally looking a bit tired. It was pretty dead on a Saturday evening. Had the set menu with a wine flight, the lobster omelette was great and fairly generous. Sadly the pork belly was awful large peices of gristle made it on to the plate, over smoked mash and broad beans past their best, the accompanying sauce was great but there was not nearly enough of it. Peach Melba made for a decent enough simple pudding. The Pinot noir was good and we had some nice mini macaroons and truffles to finish. Overall ok but uninspired and the main course was a major let down"

"While the food was hot and tasty, we debated on whether to risk waiting for dessert. Unfortunately, that decision was made for us as we were left unattended after the plates were cleared for the main course. No one came back to check if we wanted dessert, so we eventually had to flag someone down to ask for the bill instead. It's a shame because the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and the food was reasonably priced—especially the festive menu. Unfortunately, the service was poor enough that we decided to remove the service charge (a first for us), and we likely won't be returning anytime soon."

"Loved the cool decor. Nice furnishings and a light airy space. A comfortable casual feel. I visited first for an excellent cappuccino in the morning prior to visiting Kew Gardens (the coffee is much better here). There also were gorgeous cakes including an amazing lemon meringue pie. Pleasant, friendly efficient staff. I returned for lunch. The choice is very varied and their very modern breakfasts are available all day. I opted for folded eggs (a large portion of sort of folded very thin omlette), with roasted tomatoes and feta and smoked salmon sides. All were very generous portions. Their house rose was very good and well priced. I would definitely return."

"I am exploring the North Passport and Byfords didn't disappoint. Very nice shop and place to eat with great menu selection. Not many places do Kippers and I was craving for one for a long time, so I went for it. Very good portion and very well cooked. Just a shame I couldn't swap my toast for sourdough even if I had to pay extra. The building inside is beautiful. Make sure to read the information boards or y will enter the building from thee wrong door. Parking can be a challenge if its busy and you don't know the area. I know at least two near by (something like less than £5 for 3h) but just need to drive carefully There is a few outside tables near the main road.

"This lovely french restaurant absolutely knocked us out of the park with the crazy quality and service we received, we went as a party of 4 and ordered some french dumplings, the soufflé, and the stake. Let’s start with the stake, not kinky was it if a high quality and cooked perfectly, but it was also soft and tender, and didn’t require much effort to cut, this shows the quality of the meat. The soufflé was airy and rich, and the pastry was perfectly made. In addition to the amazing food, the service was spectacular, which only boosts my respects for this restaurant. Overall Soutine is definitely a restaurant worth your time and money, and I would definitely come here any day."

"The ambiance and decor at The Wet Fish are enchanting, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere for a truly enjoyable dining experience. The attention to detail in the decor and overall atmosphere demonstrates the restaurant's commitment to providing a memorable setting. The culinary offerings at The Wet Fish never disappoint. The menu features a curated selection of culinary masterpieces, showcasing a diverse range of flavors and textures. Each dish is a work of art, reflective of the creativity and teamwork behind it. I also highly recommend the concert nights featuring international artists for a more intimate and cozy experience. Amel Thomas and her team have truly created a special dining destination at The Wet Fish."

"My first visit to chaiwala 100% will be my last .. the food tasted like it was made a week ago just heated. The pav bhaji had absolutely no taste the chicken tikka was hard, rubbery, and tasted like it had been cooked days ago.. the chips were cold had a load of ketchup poured over the top. I was so disappointed after spending nearly £20 did not touch any of it. Your standards are way below expected you really do need to sort this out. The worst experience ever I will not be returning. Was my first last visit"

"My husband and I had lunch at this restaurant on a Saturday and had a great experience. We received a warm welcome and were seated promptly with menus. The vegetarian options were extensive and it was hard to decide what to order. I tried the creamy leek pie and it was fantastic. My husband ordered a large pasta dish which he enjoyed, although he struggled to finish it. We were too full for dessert so we didn't get to see that menu. The prices were reasonable. The only drawback for my husband was that the restaurant was a bit noisy due to the close proximity of the tables and the echoey room."

"I work 5 minutes away from here and go here on a regular basis but not anymore! Friday morning I made a phone order for a HALAL BREAKFAST when I got back to my office and opened up the foil container under my egg I could see a slight piece of something which I lifted the egg, there was BACON underneath!!!!!!! I was disgusted and very disappointed, when I called the cafe to confront them of this, the man apologised saying he had 2 orders and he gave me the wrong one. I said its 's not good enough, he said it had been busy. He didn 't seem too concerned by what had happened and was giggling whilst talking to me. He sent someone over to collect the order off me and gave me the correct one but i have lost my trust in the cafe and i am very disheartened by what has happened. I will not be going there again. YOU HAVE LOST A REGULAR CUSTOMER!"
