"Excellent evening, we sat in the Air Mens Bar, which checked the menu and the wine list about an excellent gin and tonic as we were early. A 3-course menu was presented as it was the festive season. Basic choices of meat, fish and vegetarians, but not an extensive menu, unlike the wine list that has a very good selection. The food was tastefully presented with appropriate portion size, some can say small, but it didn't let you flower. We were served hot nuts and warm bread with 3 types of spread, also the blue cheese was declared delicious and we are not fans of blue cheese. We had tomato gazpacho with sun-dried tomato and the blackened halibut. Cod as a net and also Venison, both cooked to perfection. Soufflé on the desert menu and it is always our choice. Also cooked for perfection. Paired with rose from proven E and a pint noir from the Loire Valley, our choice. Restaurant is very nice, tables are not nearby, piano game from the gallery, attentive service, but not over camp. Restaurant was very busy, but you never felt rushed. Tea and coffee afterwards with some nice fours and a night capsule. A really nice evening. Very recommended"

"We had an excellent evening at the restaurant. We were seated in the airy bar area and enjoyed reviewing the menu and wine list while sipping on a delicious gin and tonic. We were presented with a three-course menu as it was the festive season. The menu offered a good selection of meat, fish, and vegetarian options, although it was not extensive like the impressive wine list. The food was tastefully presented with reasonable portion sizes, some may find them small but they didn't leave us feeling bloated. We were pleasantly surprised by the warm nuts and bread with different spreads, including a delicious blue cheese spread which we enjoyed despite not being fans of blue cheese. We ordered tomato gazpacho with sun-dried tomatoes and blackened halibut for starters, followed by cod and venison for mains, all of which were cooked to perfection. For dessert, we chose the soufflé, which was also perfectly cooked. We paired our meal with a rose from Provence and a pinot noir from the Loire Valley. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere with well-spaced tables and live piano music. The service was attentive but not overbearing, even though the restaurant was busy. We ended the evening with tea, coffee, petit fours, and a nightcap. Overall, it was a lovely evening and we highly recommend this restaurant."

"Beautiful designed restaurant and bar near Leicester Square serving Aegean inspired dishes. We had Seabass Ceviche, Saganaki cheese with truffle honey, Taramasalata Tzatziki dips to start and for mains the sliced Roast Chicken with barley, and graviera cheese and Pastichio which is a Greek baked pasta with king oyster mushrooms and a cheese sauce. For dessert we shared the Lokma , fried dough balls with thyme honey, walnuts, and served with Madagascan vanilla ice cream. A very filling sweet! Prices are high but it is a central location and a good place for a date night and there is good music with different DJs"

"Busy restaurant and a disappointing start ending up at the worst table in the restaurant beside the hatch where all the dirty dishes are dumped. If booking I would suggest adding a note not to get this table for dinner. 2 steak meals were warm at best and despite being sent back only the plate came back with more heat. One other meal was good and enjoyable. Great server who was helpful and tried to negotiate an adjustment to the bill at the end of the meal which started off with an odd suggestion for a reduction to the overall cost but we got there in the end. No discussion with management, who didn't seem to want to deal with any difficult conversation, but the bill outcome and complimentary round of drinks helped with a disappointing visit. Staff serving tables were great and to be commended for taking on responsibility that would I would have suggested should have been handled by the duty manager."

"At our table, we noticed that the adjacent table received STK's signature bread right away, while we hadn’t even been offered any. After ordering drinks, we waited about 10 minutes before our waiter came over to ask how everything was. My husband mentioned that we were still waiting for our drinks, which arrived shortly after he asked. We ordered our meals, and my husband chose the calamari starter, which was impressively large. We both opted for steaks. As we were enjoying our conversation, another couple seated nearby received their bread and dip almost immediately. This made me wonder if we had been forgotten, so I asked a staff member if we had missed out on something.... we were indeed overlooked, but thankfully the bread came shortly after. Once our food was finally ready, it was delivered by a different waiter (a runner) to a table next to us and just left there instead of being brought to us. After a while, we managed to get another waiter’s attention to bring our food over. When our meals did arrive, they were quite nice. The asparagus was good, and the truffle fries were delightful—hard to go wrong with deep-fried fries, really. After finishing our meals, we had empty plates in front of us for about 20 minutes. I wanted to order a warm cookie, but at that point, I had lost interest in what was meant to be a special meal, and we just wanted to return to our suite. When we finally asked for the bill, it seemed they were aware we weren't completely satisfied. The bill was £140 after a discount (I had opted out of the optional service fee of £17.50), but we were actually charged £152. I didn't bother to argue about it. For a restaurant that prides itself on its service, we expected much better."

"This restaurant is a hidden gem in a remote location. The decor and atmosphere are charming, and the menu is enticing. The only downside was that one of us ordered the chicken dish, which was small and not very satisfying despite being one of the most expensive items on the menu. On a positive note, the bread and butter pudding was absolutely delicious!"

"brunello is a restaurant with a comfortable but formal design that feels luxurious, from the moment they go through the doorway. I wanted lunch at the kensington opposite near hyde park, so brunello in the baglioni hotel seemed like the perfect place for me. the service was excellent from the beginning, the waiter held the teller and wein flow in a steady rate, describes the origin of the weine and reason for pairing with each court. the salmone norvegese and tuna as part of the selection of the kochtars were so fresh and an exciting combination of aromen with celery and fennelvinaigrette in sweet senf. then came the black truffle risotto with 24 months old Parmesan cheese, which was a fantastic wise way to present the ingredients and I definitiw loved this dish. red meat was next to the menu and tagliata of bark meat filet was a style of bark meat that I never tried before but always want now. with a broccoligratin and mushroom, boiled for perfection with medium-sized rareness, this really shows the abilities of the cook and is a trip to brunelllo for these. the last cure was the cheese selection of the chef of parmesan, pecorino, camembert, caprino, gorgonzola served with crispy pistachios, fruit marble and honey. the rich aromas and textures of the cheese with the sweet notes of the Hungarian tokaj were the perfect way to finish the meal. I highly recommend brunello and cannot wait to return!"

"very close to the farrintong station, average price (from Londoners) and incredible quality. highly recommended the bbq-tipped pork sandwich and cob salad, we also tried the strawberry smoothie and without words of how good it was. Being in an area of many offices since the half-day receiving a table is complicated. two options or you adapt to the local meal schedule, or follow with the Spanish and join your snack with dinners."

"The restaurant is situated right in the heart of Leicester Square, which is definitely one of the prime locations in this part of London. You can easily reach Canary Wharf and the city, all the way to Big Ben and beyond. We had a reservation for 3 people, but unfortunately, they couldn't locate our booking. Fortunately, they were able to seat us on a spacious balcony. We had received confirmation from OpenTable and showed it upon our arrival, but they still couldn't find our reservation."

"the hotel was absolutely perfect in any view. the only side was loud construction work outside our room, we were right next to the scaffold and the drilling. my enkelin complained when the holes went on to 5. the personal offered to move us into another room, but we had all started preparing at this point so it was not an option. they surprised us with a beautiful dinner of cheese bus kites and dived left in our room and very appreciated after drowning in the amount on the way back from adele concert. everything else perfect the personal, bar, eating and spa facilities very comfortable stay."

"I'm afraid to say I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone , was left completely fuming with the service , the food and the overall approach by the staff at cafe football!! The so called manager Gabrielle or whatever her name is was rude from start to finish we booked our table for the Fa cup final but was told he had under two hours to eat and leave and couldn't extend our stay , the waiters were clueless and didn't understand why we wanted drinks after being seated for half hour im pretty sure it's human rights to be able to order a drink in a so called restaurant , the starters were below par and questionable , the Mains we ordered weren't what we asked for and when asking the so called manager why she couldn't be bothered to answer our questions , so I'm afraid to say after visiting cafe football before I wouldn't come back even if you paid me disgusting and I will be getting in touch with trading standards as we found dirty cuttery and glasses on our table and not even a sorry from staff very little care from all at cafe football!!! Please cc the restuatenat in as I would like to hear what they have to say"

"Easy to find in Stratford. Service for drinks very slow and took 6 attempts to get 6 of us the right drinks. Food order was slow but very fast to come and quite delicious. Very loud, as also used as a bar and if near bat small segregation of very loud customers with a drink."

"A shadow of Carluccios, this was my worst experience. The food was dry, took way too long I wondered wether they killed the pig on site to make sausages… The scrambled eggs between myself and a family member seemed to be one egg shared between us. We had a toddler and they didn’t really have a kids breakfast were out of pancakes and wouldn’t let her have a few pieces of fruit from the buffet as they wouldn’t know how to charge…. pathetic really. Worst but was this was the first experience for friends visiting from abroad, Its gone downhill and Marriot should do something if only to protect their local brand"

"A group of ten of us went here last night for our work evening out. First impressions were good the place looked really nice, and it was packed (not so good if you are into any kind of social distancing). However, once we were seated for dinner next to the main bar area, it became apparent from the incredibly loud dance music that this was not going to be an evening of easy conversation. I like to think that a basic requirement of going to dinner is that I can enjoy some conversation but that was far too much to hope for. It was like being in the middle of a nightclub or bar where to have to really shout and strain to hear someone. Things got so bad that the waitress simply could not hear me to take my order. When my colleague 's order came it was completely wrong which was no surprise. We asked for their music to be turned down several times but that was just not possible by the looks of things because of the huge bar area next to us that they cared about more. Overall, the food was good, but the evening was totally ruined by the stupidly loud nightclub music. I do not exaggerate when I say that several of us left with sore throats and lost voices. If the management is reading this then I don 't want a stock robotic reply underneath we are very sorry to hear that....... kind of response because we made it clear that the music was stupidly loud several times. The next time I want to sit and eat in the middle of a nightclub then I 'll just go to Pret for a sandwich and just take it into the middle of the dancefloor of my local. It 'll be a lot cheaper for sure."

"First time at the restaurant. We had cancelled our original reservation. The restaurant reached to ask why. I was impressed by that personal customer service so we booked for another night. We had the Burrata and ‘Nduja Topped Foccacia, the Lasagna and their signature dish, Penne Giardiniera. My husband and I both thought those dishes were average and probably wouldn’t order them if we go back. There are many other interesting dishes we would try though. The service is excellent and we hat was very nice. Some of their baked goods look good and we’d like to try breakfast there."

"from both of us I found eating at elenas to be totally acceptable, but the price-performance ratio is a bit ho-hum. the photos of the stars that decorate the walls gives him a certain charm, but the bright lighting makes nothing for the shaded color job that lurking behind the mugs, and I felt, giving the place a caffe feeling. Some candles and somewhat lower lighting could go the inner further. I think the attention to small details makes customers appreciate. for example, why not use stainless steel eis eimer instead of plastic, which I enjoyed the chicken liver parfait, served with roasted brioche and chutney. so good. I had a fleshy piece of tea for the main, well presented and cooked...read more"

"Went for a birthday dinner. The tomahawk steak was well cooked medium to medium rare in the center although i can't say its the best steak I've had in London. The waiter we had was friendly and attentive but a server spilled some drinks as he was bringing them to the table. They spilled over some of our things and on one of the people in our party and the server didn't seem too bothered or apologetic. He offered to get replacements which was the least he could do but they weren't taken off the bill as a gesture or anything. We didn't let it ruin our evening but it wss a shame the service and overall experience didn't live up to expectations."

"We parked opposite and as you look across at the restaurant in the dark the twinkling lights made it look welcoming. We had a warm greeting, with menus given and our drinks and food order taken promptly. We chose to share the warm breads and Chateaubriand. The breads were scrummy and so warm, felt like they were just out of the oven. And the Chateaubriand was out of this world…..it came with sauces, mac’n’cheese, onion rings, garlic mushrooms, chips and a rocket salad. It was all incredible and will rank as one of our best meals out ever! The service was subtle, friendly and attentive and the playlist was great. Thank you for a really lovely experience."
