"Lovely restaurant overlooking the bar, nice outside seating if weather permits. Service was friendly and attentive. Had mussels with sea vegetables to start which was good but very salty, maybe soak the sea vegetables to expel some salt. Monkfish was excellent and cooked, seasoned perfectly. No room for dessert so ordered a macchiato coffee but received a cappuccino. Good wine list and reasonably priced, **** Mary could have been better as it lacked spice and served with too much ice making it watery."

"Wonderful afternoon tea experience in London. The staff is very friendly. There are options to sit at a regular table or around a coffee table with a sofa and chairs. We chose the latter and were very comfortable. They have wonderful options for vegetarians and our meat eating friend also enjoyed the experience. We were very full by the end of the meal. The tea is absolutely delicious! And there is also a piano player during afternoon tea that provides wonderful ambiance"

"only visited odyssey for the first time and we can hardly wait to go back. the service, eating and atmosphere was excellent. the staff can not do enough for them, extremely friendly and helpful. eating was excellent, fast service and the portions were generous. so much we got away with a doggy bag. the restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and I especially liked the small corner of the Greek products that they can buy. small touches like ouzo and apple juice for my daughter, when we sat down, go along. can not recommend enough. we'll be back soon!"

"After we ordered drinks at the bar, we placed our food order. The server informed us there would be a 30-minute wait. We ordered dressed crab, mussels, and fish and chips, but were told that there were no mussels left. So, we opted for another serving of fish and chips instead. When the food finally arrived (well before the 30-minute wait), it was just okay. My mother’s fish and chips were overcooked and dry, while mine was slightly better but still bland and dry as well. Overall, the experience was quite disappointing. We decided to cut our losses and left to get ice cream elsewhere. It wouldn’t hurt the staff to show a smile, and a lesson in manners and customer service would certainly be beneficial."

"Having lived in London 33 years, I knew this restaurant existed, always wanted to visit, now I regret not coming sooner. There are thousands of trendy, go to places in this city, most are all style over substance. This place gives a you a warm Cypriot/Greek hug, rarely found these days. No frills or fanciness, they know what they are doing and do it well. It is like stepping back in time but that is not a bad thing.It makes you feel like and old friend you met in a taverna in Ayia Napa. The food is as Greek/Cypriot as you can get. Generous, well cooked and delicious. The Dolmades are divine but the Kleftiko is the star, a very slow cooked large piece of lamb cooked till it completely falls off the bone.Rice is cooked in stock with tiny slivers of pasta. To be honest it is all of a very high standard.The prices are extremely reasonable. This is not art on a plate. You will need a hefty appetite, leaving full, satisfied with a warm glow, The music will stay in your head and adds to the atmosphere. I brought a friend for his birthday on Thursday lunch, decided to return yesterday with another friend, both loved it.The staff are welcoming, lovely and a joy. This place is just what it says on the tin. If any one criticizes they have never eaten great food in a Greek/Cypriot restaurant before.."

"open on a Sunday that is so populated for brunch, boiled eggs perfect, but beans were a little watery and loaded with mushrooms -can with a bit of a variety on the veg in the veg fry up. Sausage was baked moshee by veg in kartoffeln with not much texture - could do with a better veg sausage. hash brown was perfect, but I would have liked two instead of so much toast/moushrooms. orange juice was super freshly squeezed and amazing. will be back to try other menu options - see a lively place with native."

"I came here on a midweek evening with a friend. It wasn 't particularly busy 3 tables max were occupied. Food I had the special a meat and pasta dish which was unfortunately swimming in its own grease, but it was passable. A late middle aged man was serving, who was helpful and friendly, but was obviously rushed off his feet he may even have been doing the cooking and serving at the same time. A late middle aged woman, who turned out to be the owner, was sat outside with her dog and a friend. Towards the end of our meal, she moved inside. She later turned her hand to waitressing, but this was evidently not her forte. When we 'd finished, our polite request to split the bill seemed to create a massive drama for her, I 'VE PUT IT [THE SUM] INTO THE [CARD] MACHINE NOW , she snapped. After her meltdown, she handed the job to her (presumably) employee, to whom she spoke like he was a dog. I really felt for him. She proceeded to slag us off to her friend, even though we were sat only about 3 metres away from them, in the same (quiet) room. Either she is a bitter individual, or was just having a bad day and took it out on us. Regardless, she had a mare and I would not recommend the place. No problem with the no doubt long suffering guy though."

"I tried this restaurant for the first time and was very impressed. It is definitely the best breakfast option in town. We ordered sausage, egg, and cheese batons, which were delicious with perfectly cooked eggs and tasty sausage. The portion sizes were also very generous and left us feeling satisfied for the whole day. I will definitely be ordering from here again. Thank you."

"I recently dined at a new South Indian/Sri Lankan restaurant in Reading. My first impression was positive. The cozy atmosphere provided a refreshing change from other restaurants that often have a more commercial taste."

"Very good food. The Best of Menue is really awesome. We enjoyed our last visit to the current rooms of the cleanse. Perfect service, best cuisine, interesting rare wines from the basement and very nice ambience. Hopefully there will be the cleanse or better the successor soon. At the next Berlin stay we will miss the cleanse very much."

"The restaurant was quite busy for a Monday, but I waited over 90 minutes for a cheeseboard. When I chased after about 50 minutes, I was told by the supervisor that they were working on it. The supervisor later came and asked if it was the burger I had ordered, even though I had confirmed it was the cheeseboard. After waiting for 90 minutes, I went to the bar and canceled my order. However, a staff member informed me that they couldn't refund me and I would have to see reception. This was a disappointing customer service experience. The only positives were the lady behind the bar who tried her best to help in a courteous manner, and the guy on reception who handled the situation professionally. Overall, it was a bad experience for a simple cheeseboard order."

"Our first visit to room 142 at this hotel won't be our last. The check-in process was quick and courteous. The room was a club room, incredibly clean with a large and comfortable bed. The extras in the refrigerator included water, KitKat, juice, and Coke - though my only complaint would be the black plastic cups, I would have preferred white china. There were plenty of seats around the winter garden bar to relax and the floors were spotless. Despite the lack of a view outside, once inside we were treated to wonderful views of the Thames. We stayed on a Virgin Experience Day which included prosecco, truffles, spa access, breakfast, and a 3-course meal. The young lady who served us went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. We have stayed in numerous hotels along the Thames during our travels, but this has quickly become our favorite. The evening meal had limited choices, but the service was fantastic. Breakfast had a wide selection and the scrambled eggs were particularly good. The breakfast server was friendly and attentive. The duty manager at breakfast was welcoming and the service was excellent. After breakfast, we enjoyed a coffee overlooking the Thames with our waitress Bridget who was wonderfully polite and friendly. Thank you for a lovely stay!"

"The atmosphere was casual yet elevated, and the service was excellent, perfectly complementing the meal! We visited for lunch to try their prix fixe menu, and we enjoyed a mackerel dish, chicken with pea risotto, and sorbet for dessert. The salty mackerel was well-balanced with the milder flavors of the cake and fennel, and the freshness of the fish was not overpowering. The chicken, cooked sous vide, was very tender, even the breast. There was a generous amount of butter in the risotto, making it incredibly smooth! The crispy parmesan "cracker" was delightful. I sampled several sorbet flavors and must say that the strawberry was definitely my favorite; it might be the best strawberry sorbet I’ve ever had (I admit, I’m not an expert on sorbets, so my experience is limited... but it truly tasted like freshly sweetened strawberries!). The vanilla ice cream had real vanilla beans in it (delicious!), and for those who enjoy more adventurous flavors, the fig sorbet tasted just like a fresh fig. Highly recommended!"

"We were initially impressed with the appearance of the restaurant. However, our experience quickly went downhill when our waitress seemed to have no knowledge of the beer selection or the menu. Despite our request for a burger without tomato, it was served with tomato. When we pointed this out, the same burger was simply returned to us with the tomato removed, which was disappointing. Thankfully, no one in our party was allergic to tomato. Overall, we were unimpressed with the service and the atmosphere of the restaurant. We likely will not be returning. On a positive note, the exterior of the building was quite nice, but the interior felt more like a community hall and lacked any special charm."

"Very disappointing considering I was told it was one of the best places to go for a roast in York. It started with one waiter stating he needed to check if they had defrosted any more chicken…. There were two hairs in my food one hidden under my chicken breast and one wrapped around a parsnip. The dish was replaced but the food was sub par not to the standard we had been told. No one came back to the table to check on the food, my mother in laws food was like warm even tho she asked for it to be as hot as they could make it. A mild apology and £4 off the bill for two hairs which put me off my food and everything was just overly disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone and I certainly won’t go back."
