"We stopped here for lunch today. The food was very good, however our experience was overshadowed by our interactions with the wait staff. We ordered the Peynir Ezmesi. The waitress gave us the wrong appetizer (The Olive Tree Special) and when we brought it to...her attention she lied and told us it was the Peynir Ezmesi even though it did not match the description. No matter what we said she insisted she gave us the correct appetizer. Imagine our surprise when our receipt read “Olive Tree Special” which we did NOT order. Also, the staff was not very friendly or attentive to our needs. We wanted to order some soft drinks but we could barely get them to bring us water which we quickly drank and never received a refill. We’ll be sure to eat at a different restaurant in the future."

"Heading to the near Craufurd Arms for a gig and looking for something to eat beforehand we happened across Zouk Lounge quite by accident and as we all enjoy Lebanese food decided to give it a try after first checking that there was plenty of veggie options (which there was) as 2 of our 3 strong party are vegetarian. Gabriella (from Romania) was our charming waitress who seated us and was very informative when it came to enquiring about the various veggie options on offer. She recommended the ‘Lobia’ dish to me (Lebanese spiced whole green beans cooked with fresh tomato sauce) which I then ordered whilst my brother and our friend also choose veggie options and we then decided to share these amongst us all and also decided to add a couple of side dishes. Very impressed with all the food served to us; all freshly cooked, nicely presented, tasted delicious and served to us in a timely fashion. No complaints. After dinner Gabriella enquired if we’d like to relax in their Shisha lounge located at the rear of the restaurant whilst she prepared a shisha pipe and some aperitifs for us. We accepted her offer and retired to the shisha lounge. Once Gabriella had served our aperitifs she enquired as to whether I would like to take control of the music in the lounge over their Bluetooth connection which I gladly excepted and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we decided to stay a little longer for another round of cognac and G T’s before we headed off to the nearby gig; only just arriving before the show started in the end as we’d spent nearly a full 2 hours in Zouk Lounge. All in all, a really enjoyable dinner; fantastic food, a charming and friendly waitress (Gabriella) and a real surprise and extra treat to learn of the shisha bar at the rear of the restaurant after our meal. We will definitely be back for a return visit the next time we are in the area."

"This excellent hamburger restaurant is located right in the center of Milton Keynes shopping area. I loved the exterior of the restaurant. The waitress was friendly and professional, willing to accommodate any requests we had. The food was delicious, especially my sister's double cheeseburger which came with sweet potato fries (which were tasty) and coleslaw. The kitchen is open, allowing customers to watch the cooks at work. Our food came out quickly, only a 15-minute wait. The restaurant's layout and decor are simple yet attractive. The menu has a wide variety of options, including vegetarian, kids' meals, and gluten-free choices. Parking is available but can be pricey, especially in the red zone. The restaurant is located near the food court and a bank in CMK. Takeout orders are also an option. I highly recommend this restaurant."

"I regret that I have to significantly downgrade my previously glowing review. Very disappointing Sunday lunch experience at the Barge in Woolstone today. Dirty foggy glasses covered with specks of limescale and stubborn lipsticks stains, a House Pinot Grigiot that tasted like a cocktail of citric acid mixed with anti-freeze which made my taste buds shrivel, soggy roast potatoes, vegetables that tasted of water... But the drop too much was what was served to three of us as a Slow cooked half-chicken : little more than a rather dry and tasteless leg with a bit of breast attached! The Manager explained that this was the new spec of their supplier !! So be warned everybody, it sounds like a large leg now qualifies as half a chicken !!! I leave two stars because the staff is nice and the manager was kind enough to give us a discount, but I 'm sorry to say that I 've had better meals at Motorway services!"
