"On possibly the last warm evening of summer 2023, I had the perfect dining experience on the outside terrace of Coq d'Argent. The burrata with green basil pesto was delicious, but the standout dish was the roast suckling pig, known as porcelet on the set menu, seasoned with rosemary garlic. It was a fantastic deal. The Citari Conchiglia 2021 Lugana white from the Veneto region paired perfectly with both dishes. Although my Perfect Manhattan arrived late, it was excellent and I enjoyed sipping it between courses. The service was great overall, with the sommelier constantly topping up my glass. This evening at Coq d'Argent felt like a return to pre-pandemic standards and atmosphere, making it a memorable dining experience."

"Hoi Polloi is a cool retro/hipster place to eat with 70's retro design. So if your criteria for a good restaurant is a modern/updated flashing design, Hoi Polloi is not the place for you. We came for dinner and we were left with a big smile on our faces. The selection on the menu is nice, though it's definitely not one of these menus that take you hours to read, leaving you confused with endless options, and still there's enough selection for everyone. The food was great, nice portions, well made. Hospitality was great and the staff was handy in recommending drinks. We really enjoyed our dinner. Thanks for the experience."

"We arrived to a table, with mucky plates and no chairs in the main bar area. We had booked the resteraunt. After trying to explain to the staff we had booked the resteraunt we were moved upstairs onto a table which we were told we had an hour and a half before we had to go as the next group were coming to eat. Whilst upstairs there was no room, we were like chickens in a coop. If you were sat to the left of the table you couldn't get out to go to the bar toilet. None of the staff sempt interested and weren't helpful at all. I don't usually leave bad reviews but on this occasion I am doing as eating here ruined my 21st. Terrible service, wouldn't reccommend at all."

"charlottes w5 used to be one of our favourites to eat and entertain friends, but recently the dinge seems to have gone a bit wrong. when we arrived, we were told that most fresh fish dishes were not available because the supplier might not have supplied any disturbing sign? the sweet potatoes gnocchi were not good, the others were okay. the service was, however, very complete and not on the standard for the prices they raise in my opinion. it was not busy, but we had to draw attention to order and ask twice for the beverage menu. chips were forgotten, coffee was forgotten, the personal looked haunted. on the plus side the appetizers arrived immediately and were good (although from any reason the Caesar salad was not available? odd) and the waitress offered a free pudding in exchange for a plate of uneaten gnocchi. we can return, but unfortunately I don't think we have the chance to invite friends there again."

"Charlottes W5 used to be one of our favourite places to eat and to entertain friends but recently things seem to have gone a bit wrong here. When we arrived we were told that most of the fresh fish dishes were not available because the supplier had not delivered possibly a worrying sign?The sweet potato gnocchi were not good, the other mains were ok. The service however was very patchy and not up to standard for the prices they charge, in my opinion. it wasn't busy but we had to attract attention to order and ask for the drinks menu twice. Chips were forgotten, coffee was forgotten, the staff looked harassed. On the plus side, the starters arrived promptly and were good (although for some reason the Caesar salad was not available? Odd) and the waitress offered a free pudding in exchange for one plate of uneaten gnocchi. We may return ourselves but regrettably I don't think we'll be taking the chance of inviting friends there again."

"the French toast did not really please, found the sugary crust on the pear-comonate and zimtsirup waaaay too sweet. that the employees served us quite efficiently and make sure that we had everything we need (especially water a beautiful brunch place, but if they don't have a huge sweet tooth like me: they avoid the French toast."

"Had a nice time at Lantana Cafe, but not sure it’ll be my go to spot. The food was good every dish tasted fresh and the portions were generous enough; the coffee was also good. The fair is standard Australian brunch, i.e., corn fritters or a hip take on the full English. Service was somewhat lacking our table wasn’t ready when we arrived for our booking and we had to wait. The staff was not particularly enthusiastic, but at least didn’t hover. And we were given our check without asking for it well in advance closing time. In short, while the food was good and the place nicely designed, it lacks the hospitality I’d want to give it the full five stars. It is, however, a reliable brunch spot where we were able to get a table not too long in advance, and in London that counts for something."

"We were given a choice of two tables on arrival enabling us to chose which area of the restaurant we preferred. Menu choice was excellent as well as the food itself. Very good, attentive service. We were there on a Sunday and had the set lunch menu. One very tiny criticism is that the Yorkshire puddings were far too large, placed on top and covering the rest of the food. Sadly unattractive and also wasted as no one on our table ate a whole one. But, that aside, a fantastic restaurant to go to. So glad we are within walking distance."

"Langan 's Brasserie is something of a London restaurant legend. Now coming up on its 36th year, it opened as a partnership between Irish entrepreneur Peter Langan and the actor Michael Caine which was enough in itself to draw in the celebrity crowd and Langan 's was one of the places to eat in the eighties. Langan is now dead and Michael Caine sold up, but Langan 's continues on unabashed, its website still claiming that it 'remains one of London 's top eateries to be seen in for Celebrities, business people and Joe public alike '. An almost stubborn unwillingness on the part of Langan 's to change will either endear this restaurant to your heart or ensure a hasty retreat in the other...read more"

"I was disappointed with my experience. The food was much better during our last visit. My poached egg was almost cold, and the mushrooms and poached egg were served on some heavy, soggy bread that was meant to be toast. It’s a pity because everything was delicious before. For dessert, there was no rice pudding, which was one of the main reasons we chose to come here. However, the chocolate fondant was delightful. On the positive side, the service was excellent."

"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)"

"Had read about the Sussex Pass in the Muddy Stilettos email, so thought we would give it a try. Very clean, staff very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Only downside was that the tables were a little too close together so felt we were sitting on top of each other, but I understand they want to fit maximum capacity in the limited space. Lovely place and will definitely come back when they are fully open to try the larger menu"

"The hotel bar area is a pleasant place to have a drink before your meal, with comfortable seating, suitable music at comfortable volume and interesting black and white photographs. The bar staff seemed busy and it was several minutes before anyone acknowledged us seated at the bar waiting to order drinks. The meal itself was very good, cooked well and well presented. The service was a little slow and we did wonder if they were understaffed on our Thursday night. We made several attempts to catch the eye of any member of staff fleeting by in order to ask about the menu, more water, more bread etc. No one came to 'see how we were getting on ' or if we required anything else. Topping up of glasses was done by staff on 1-2 occasions only. However, the staff were pleasant and smartly dressed. The toilet facilities were excellent. Overall, I would dine again."

"The best steaks we have had in any part of London for a long long time and really good value. Excellent starters all large portions. Really efficient and friendly service but perfectly paced and no pushing to get us off the table. We were early 1830, but already a few tables occupied. By 1930 it was pretty well full and great atmosphere. Live music. It was worth going just for that girl singer/guitarist and really good guy on guitar with her. Neat, clean and clear well looked after slick decor. Can't wait to go back!"

"This is a beautiful restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere and lovely lighting. The dining area is separated from the bar, which is great because it allows you to enjoy your meal without being surrounded by people who are just there for drinks. Overall, it was a nice place to dine. My only criticism is that, despite the restaurant's focus on plant-based options, the selection was limited. There were only three vegetarian choices on the menu: a salad, a vegetarian burger, and a pasta dish. The staff was very attentive and friendly, and we would have happily left a tip. However, a 10% service charge is automatically added to the bill, which I personally don’t agree with. Nonetheless, we have no complaints and would definitely return."

"Had planned to spend the night with work mates for leaving drinks and some grub. I had one drink and left…. Nice pub for locals, but not very welcoming for outsiders it seems. Pint of bitter I ordered (John smiths) was lively (fizzy after taste) so mentioned this to the bar man (owner) and even encouraged him to try it because he didn’t believe me. Got my drink replaced, and heard him mutter under his breath ‘that’s what you get with sh*t beer…..’ whilst playing to his locals audience who were scoffing. Not a positive environment that I’ll place myself in again and to be frank, **** rude to paying customers."

"The breakfast was brilliant, really tasty and great value. The service was really disappointed though, friendly staff but just need to sort it out a bit. We ordered 4 breakfasts and soon after 3 arrived. The fourth order was off the menu but we hadn't been told and so had to order again from scratch, and even then the order was wrong despite it being checked twice. Drinks arrived after food and seemed chaotic. A shame really as the food was really really good!"

"It was so loud and hectic. Kids running around everywhere and going on the mezzanine (a Saturday night) We had to try for a long while to get out waiters attention even though the restaurant wasn’t too full. Clearly they were much more focused on a big table than the one for two. I reserved because I was eager to try their Veganuary menu (since they have reduced their vegan options considerably over the past two years) but was told they only serve it Mon-Fri which wasn’t specified on their website. Very disappointed as this was one of my favourite local spots."
