"The best dinner and dining experience we’ve had in the UK since we arrived 15 months ago. Just wished we had gone here sooner as we move back to the US in a couple months . So many people recommended it and we finally had the opportunity to fit it in. Chef Bruce, his staff and the restaurant itself were all amazing. We were so impressed with Bruce’s presence and his hospitality. We felt so welcomed, and we felt he and his entire staff cared about our experience. And now to the food. Just fabulous. I’m mostly vegetarian and their aubergine dish was mouth watering! My husband had the Chateaubriand and loved it. Thank you to the entire staff at the restaurant. We highly recommend this restaurant"

Coq d’Argent Restaurant

"large eating and service, as one would expect from coq d 'argent. a little disturbing was that the opentable booking through it as an outdoor / all fresco booking (31 dez,! which was not mentioned everywhere in the opentable booking information. the second time has happened to us now when we book with opentable in various restaurants and start thinking that this is a malus 'worn' from restaurants for not to book directly about them?! leaving was a little time-consuming as it took a good 5 minutes to return the weights."

"The food, ambience and value for money were excellent as usual. Unfortunately they over charged us for the meal. However, they realised this afterwards and refunded us which was good. Would have been 10/10 but for the overcharge."

"Initially the greeter would not give us our tables that we had a booking for. She was actually quite rude saying that they were fully booked and that we couldn't dine there. I have never had that before at all the other cotes I've been to. The restaurant was not busy. When I came back to challenge this and to ask her to check my booking, the manager was very nice and showed us to a table. The food was nice, but this was not great service to start with. Also the loos were particularly dirty. I'm not sure if anyone has ever mopped the floor."

"The food was excellent however we felt the service let them down . We tried on numerous occasions to get the attention of a waiter or waitress- not one made eye contact or acknowledged us. One waiter was on his mobile phone in the restaurant which I have never seen before. Even paying after getting the bill took time."

"pj’s is my neighboring cheek. I love eating and the ambiente. the waiter they had for us floats over us like a helicopter. we hardly sat down when he took our order. I asked him to bring us the drinks menu. he brought them and stood there and waited. I asked him to give us five minutes to see what we want to order. he finally got the buddies and left us. throughout the evening he always came to us every five minutes, interrupts our conversation that I had not seen for 6 months and we had much to pick up) to ask us if everything was in order. when it came to ask for the bill, he either acts a vanishing act or would not even look at our table. I had to stand up practically from my table and wave my white serviette to get his attention. I would have given my neighborhood cahangout and gemstone 5 stars if not on the superior and excessive behavior of the waiter. are more relaxed and treat people like guests in their facility."

"I am going to post my “trip advisor review “ because honestly I have given this too much time already. No word from my personal email to the restaurant. Vacillating between Terrible and Poor This is probably my meal at Tom's Kitchen since it opened. I am a huge long time fan of Tom Aitkens, his innovative delivery and passion about both fine food and food for the people. Some years ago he had a Fish Market/ Fish and Chippery a bit down the road on Cale Street. I have a huge amount of respect for his dedication towards sustainable food sources and sustainable fishing.. BUT if this was my meal at Tom's Kitchen this meal and the meal about months ago fall into the basket of the worst dining experiences of the Century. I only rebooked because I received an email in October that their difficulties had been sorted out. Apparently not as the meal was not only deja vu but worse. We were seated at an awful table away from the main part of the dining area despite having booked about weeks earlier. No one was seated near us for the duration of our meal. We were served the wrong bottle of champagne and when we pointed this out there was a bit of a scene. The service was very slow, and the food (well it was a Monday but the fish and chips had a fishy suspect flavour). We were actually about to pay and leave before our food arrived hoping to walk into. nearby Thai restaurant but the food arrived before we could ask for the bill. I don't know what to say. I can neither recommend the restaurant or ever even consider returning Date of visit: December"

"Somewhat attentive staff however food was served cold and basically the lamb chops were mostly fat. I asked for truffled Mac and cheese however it never arrived or from the bill was put down. Also got my drinks order wrong. All small things however a number of small things all add up and made my experience not so great."

Gezellig Restaurant And Bar

Wine • Drinks • British • European

"only one week after opening and these young have nailed it. they managed to create a spacious but cozy dining room with a mezzanine lounge for more intimacy. the bar is perfect for a fast drink after work or cocktails before dinner and that is before we come to eat! the pulled blackworms are the perfect bar snack and the main menu is full of classy, but with the small own spin. cellular is rounded with a cracking wine list and is sure the way to the restaurant in this part of the city."

J Sheekey - The Restaurant

➤ United Kingdom, WC2N 4AL, London

Tea • Wine • Fish • Drinks

"So, we revisited J Sheekey having last been just before the lockdown. We wanted it to be as good...we were not disappointed. We had the most incredible experience dining here. Yes the food was utterly delicious, but we were welcomed in by the team and were lucky enough to have Sorida (I really hope I have spelt that right) as our main waitress. She was serving in the furthest restaurant area to your right as you walk in, lunchtime on the 30th of December. And she is a STAR. We loved her smiley ways, she was warm and friendly and all her food recommendations were bang on. The starters were incredible, potted shrimp for some and tiger prawns for others....the mains of a halibut in a champagne sauce, the curry, and the fish and chips were amazing....and the puddings were to die for. Along with a couple of bottles of Whispering Angel. The team who brought the food to us had the same warm attitudes, and Luca the manager was also so warm and friendly, along with Antonio. But our main star was the food, the atmosphere and our lovely waitress. That is what will make us return again. My lovely Mum said that in her 82 years she has never enjoyed a restaurant visit as much as she enjoys this one. It's a tough ask J Sheekey, but please be as good when we return for the next time too! Thank you to all the team on the day, everything was wonderful."

"After reading the reviews on TA I booked a table here for a set pre-theatre meal. Once sat down the maitre d gave us the drinks and an a la carte menu. We asked him for the pre theatre set menu but he just coldly pointed to the a la carte menu and said this is it. Confused, we asked what we could choose from the a la carte that was included in the set meal and he then pretended that he didn't understand much english and told us there wasnt a set menu, and then said sorry I haven't updated the website. Very crafty . . So just to be clear they don't cater for theatre goers despite the website saying they do. We walked out and found a lovely restaraunt nearby."

Harry's

➤ 17 20 Ironmonger Lane, City of London,Westminster, United Kingdom

Soup • Steak • British • European

"Harry's Bar at Ironmonger lane is possibly one of the best high end pubs in City. The pub has a dining space on the first floor and drinking area downstairs. It even has designated private smoking area if you wish to try one of its fine cigars, which as the pub claims, if enjoyed with the heating and music, makes you feel as if you are in Cuba! They have a good selection of rum to go with the cigars. Food is tastefully decorated and taste is top notch. Service is also good but what may pinch is the price. You may find price to be higher than average but it is certainly compensated by the quality service, ambiance and cigars which you can get here."

"The food and service were both excellent. As vegans, we had mentioned during our reservation that we preferred to be seated away from other diners who consume animal products. Unfortunately, even though there were many other tables available, we were placed between two tables of meat-eaters. If we hadn't had to see others eating animal products all around us, our experience would have been perfect."

"The food at this restaurant is excellent and reasonably priced. The staff is efficient and friendly. My only complaint is that the music is too loud for comfortable conversation. Lowering the volume would not detract from the atmosphere, I promise!"

"The dining experience was excellent, set in a beautiful environment, and surprisingly affordable. It might be a bit too quiet for those looking for a lively atmosphere, but we really enjoyed the restaurant and our meal. It's a shame that there weren't more diners, but that was the only downside!"

"grill market lomax is a great healthy caffe in lomax bespoke health (a fantastic gym in chelsea). it has a similar ethos to its first grill market in holborn, except as the health and well-being fee has plundered the menu. I loved eating, it is fast, fresh and charged with quality! I had the spiced pomegranate chicken with a grilled sweet potato and some delicious quinoa and kale salate. The speciality is always good and protein packed and although in a healthy caffe they are still made on the good old sweet tooth, I had a peanut butter cookie that made them without refined sugar, gluten or wheat (yes, they have quite br>/ I would definitely go back on when considering that the place is full of personal trainers, it is not so great!"

"my friend and I went to capitulate for dinner to celebrate his birthday, as was capitula, we thought the only decent restaurant in blackheath. all the others seem to be pushing down quickly. we have been in the past often in the capitulas, and the food and services were good we had no appetizers and ordered only one main meal (black foam and black bell), because we were not huge hungry because we were eating a lot of birthday cakes earlier! we had a glass of wine and were offered a piece of bread. 35 minutes later we waited for our food. in this time no one came to ask if we were in order or offer us more drinks. I asked the manager if our food was ready. he said it would be 5 minutes without a statement of delay then disappeared 10 minutes later there was no sign of food or manager. That is why we decided to go because we lost interest in eating. we have to go and the manager came by. he told us the delay was due to a big party in the ground floor. this was not the case, there was a group of 8 people who had finished their meal for a long time. we were there earlier when it was much more business and the service was not so bad. while we waited, we saw a customer who had finished their meal, slipped £20 into the manager hand when he left. Perhaps the workers need bribe to provide good services? it is such a scandal, but another blackheath restaurant has become complicit and believes that it with the treatment of its customers without respect. I will vote for one with my feet and will not eat again in this restaurant. I will also leave everyone I don't know to go there"

"I was in a couple of times, last to the breakfast. I would have to compete with some of the other reviewers that eating is great, the service is good, but sometimes obstructed by a lack of sufficient English and it will be very fast loud if there is a reasonable number of people. Don't take that table on the stairs, either I've always been afraid that I'm standing backwards and falling down, or that I'm being cheated by someone who's coming in a hurry. even on weekdays, the desire is even worse when the young things come after work for a drink. once I left without waiting for dessert or coffee, as the antik at the bar has got a bit much. eat good sorts, good...read more"

"This is a very disappointing restaurant. There are now three Tom’s Kitchen restaurants, one in Chelsea (the original restaurant which opened in 2006), one in Somerset House, and now one in Canary Wharf, which opened a few weeks ago, and which I visited as it is located close to my work. Tom’s Kitchen is a modern British brasserie serving comfort food, and tries to use UK-based suppliers wherever possible, and uses sustainable fish and they try to avoid endangered fish like tuna. The owner of these places is the famous chef Tom Aiken. When Tom’s Kitchen first opened in Canary Wharf I was keen to go there and I went there with my work colleagues Deepak and Trevor, and we had a really...read more"

"The laughably poor Irish coffees were almost understandable, but not actually sure how a ‘French restaurant’ albeit fauxFrench, can actually cook a baked Camembert and get it so wrong. The rest of the food was just poor, added to which was generally haphazard service pushy and rushed at the start of the meal vs slow and uncoordinated for after dinner drinks and deserts. We have had passable Aubaine before in Mayfair, but this was just a big fail for Ken’ High St’"
