"In terms of logistics, parking at Great Jones can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day, but we had no trouble finding a spot on a Sunday. The restaurant also catered well to families, with a separate children's menu and activities to keep the little ones entertained. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant overall. Overall, I would highly recommend Great Jones for a delicious and family-friendly dining experience. The prices were reasonable, the service was excellent, and the food was top-notch. Some recommended dishes include the Steak Sandwich, GJ Crispy Chicken Wings, Chicken Curry, Steak and Fries, and the Passion Fruit and Lemon Cheesecake. Parking is available and free street parking can usually be found nearby."

"It was my first time visiting Quinn's but my colleagues always rave about the place. True Irish Pub. Service is good and quick. The group I was in with had more than a few requests and each one was handled with no issues. The food wasn't anything you'd see written about in a gourmet magazine but it's great. They had a fair selection of beers and my group was happy on that account. I would certainly eat there anytime and look forward to my next opportunity to visit. Recommended!"

"Villa Vinci is one of the worst meal experiences I have had out in a long time. We called ahead and were told we could arrive early for our reservation but when we arrived we were not seated for 30 minutes. When we were seated we could not get a member of staff to take our food order for another 30 minutes. There were two very noisy twelve person tables of golfers and it seemed that they took priority over all the other customers in the restaurant. The garlic bread we got was fine, but the chicken and bacon pasta al forno was very bland and disappointing, as was the customer service from the staff member who served us. He took our nearly full plates away without a enquiry and served us the bill without so much as a thank you."

"Sensational Americano with an even more sensational croque Monsieur. A slice of Jaffa cake that must have come from heaven. Adorable, artistic, off beat and utterly wonderful. Our servers were world travelers. We discussed Turkey, Thailand and a wandering gentleman discussed New Zealand. Highly highly recommended. Shut up and go here. HERE I say!!! HERE!!"

"My experience at this restaurant on a Monday lunchtime was for a special occasion. The vegan menu was unusual and interesting. We started with the beetroot starter, which was delicious and very light. The fermented barley starter had a peculiar taste, but it was a more substantial and warm option. For my main, I had the stuffed leek, which was artistic, tasty, and very light. The pudding was not as described but was still very tasty - sorbet on crunchy crumbs. We also shared a side order of vegetables, as sides were recommended for more of a tasting menu experience. However, the side orders were not listed on the menu, so we were unsure of the extra cost. The menu could benefit from being more clear about this and possibly offering bread at the start or including vegetables and potatoes with the main course. We found ourselves feeling hungry throughout the meal, and the expensive glass of wine made us hesitant to order multiple side dishes. While we appreciate the craftsmanship and effort put into the menu and dishes, we suggest ordering a few side dishes and not considering less than three courses if you dine here. Although we had to go elsewhere for coffee and a vegan sweet to feel satisfied, we did appreciate that the dishes were plant-based rather than just vegan. Overall, we would revisit this restaurant to support their venture, but we advise being prepared with side dishes and not arriving too hungry."
