First time we have been to the Bulls head weve usually gone to the ego in Shadwell, but this resto was lovely inside we were. attended to quickly shown our booked table and we enjoyed the steak med rare and dessert we were looking forward to a cofee but the machine had stopped working! Although we were offered another type of coffee. But declined.All in all a great place for our meal we will go again! Hope the coffee machine is working then Our Jack Russell sat nicely! Staff offered water for him.but we chose not to have any.

We absolutely love eating here as a family. I have been for various meals and also had the afternoon tea and the food is always amazing! I love how the restaurant looks inside too it has a really nice feel to it. I also think it’s great that they have a small dog friendly area.

Slow service, very disappointing as used to be great. Been here multiple times over the last couple of months, both busy and quiet and the service is now very slow, regardless that they told me it was becuase they were busy when I asked where the food was. Not good enough, the need to put more staff on if this is the case!

This place has gone rapidly down hill recently. Very Slow service, measly children's portions. Basically told 'tuff, were busy' after waiting nearly 2 hours for the mains and asking where the food is. Some food just sits on the side under a heat lamp for upto 30 mins before it's served so it can come out together. I've spent hundreds here over the years but won't be visiting again, not unless it improves anyway.

It’s been a bit hit and miss recently here. But most recently the food was lovely. The Wednesday dine 2 for £30 menu was lovely. The only thing that is really letting this place down is the state of the toilets. They are really not clean and in desperate need of a lick of paint and maintenance. I’ve noticed this a few times recently and it hasn’t improved unfortunately. I think the atmosphere is a bit flat, due to customers being sat all over the restaurant and when it’s quiet, it lack buzz.

Impressive very up market restaurant with lovely food and drink. We enjoyed our time here. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was they allow dogs into the restaurant. I don’t think this is fair on customers who aren’t fond of dogs or want to enjoy a meal without worrying about dogs running round their feet. Don’t think it’s very sanitary but seems it’s the norm nowadays. 👌🏽

We visited Ego’s for my sister’s engagement party whilst the food was good the service was not at all. “Service with a smile” well that was quite the opposite on this occasion very moody staff members telling customers “I want to go home”.

On arrival we're told they are really busy but only four tables were occupied. Massive wait to order drinks, massive wait to order food, a good twenty minutes to order dessert and another fifteen minutes stood around to pay the bill. Food was average and another customer was complaining loudly about his steak saying it was crappie. The menu never changes and its a struggle to decide what to eat because you've had most of it before and the menu is just so limited and 'same old' 'same old' so you're never truly happy with your choice. Going to have to leave this place alone for a while.

It costs a lot to eat out these days and with disappointing regularity I'm left dissatisfied by low standard food, measly portions, lack of flavour and fresh ingredients. Not today! I had the sweetcorn fritters (17.95 for a main) with carrot salad and my goodness it was absolutely delicious. The best meal out I've had in years. Creative, interesting flavours, fresh and not just an afterthought for the vegetarians. Can't wait to come back

Having received a promotional voucher we decided to try lunch. Our server, Gina, was attentive, friendly and efficient. The food was good, I only said 4 stars rather than 5 as my companion said her poached egg (with the salmon fish cake starter) was cold and her main (carbonara) only tasted better after the addition of Parmesan. My own main, chicken and chorizo paella was really tasty. I enjoyed it very much. I will definitely return.

We got married in August at the Town Hall in Wakefield, with only immediate family and close friends. We chose to have afternoon tea and charcuterie sharing boards at Ego in their small function room and it was brilliant! We'd been let down by our previous venue so were anxious, but Caroline put us immediately at ease, and met with us twice to go through menu options and seating arrangements. Caroline and her team put out our favours and name cards, and catered to some very picky eaters (and those with allergies/intolerances) with great care and attention to detail. The food was brilliant, really beautiful, and having the side room to ourselves meant we all felt comfortable. It was a very good price per head, and the afternoon tea sandwiches and cakes were made with our requested fillings (off menu) without fuss. I'd highly recommend any function here, leave it in the hands of Caroline and her team and a brilliant chef and you'll have a great time!

Over the past few weeks (years even) I have visited many restaurants enjoying pleasant Sunday lunches . Today was a restaurant Ego my friends and I will never visit again. The chicken in my starter was raw ! I told the waitress but had no response . The main meals arrived ,mainly the simple roast dinners .( so easy to make en mass ) The so called roast potatoes were white ,covered in green herb ,perhaps to disguise their lack of colour ,taste and soggy texture . The vegetables were soggy ,tasteless and lukewarm warm. The extra cauliflower cheese we ordered and had to pay for was any thing but cauliflower cheese . Even the fresh bowl brought in exchange was no better . I cannot believe they could present this dish on any menu and think that it would be acceptable . The beef was rather tough but not inedible . The only redeeming feature was the Yorkshire pudding. The green beans which were ordered alongside the gluten free meal came as the meal was being finished ! We ordered coffee which we explicitly said we wanted at the same time as the dessert . Did it arrive ? No it came afterwards once the dessert had been eaten. To add insult to injury we were given a paltry £30 discount by a very disgruntled young lady ,who if she was front of house needs to change her attitude towards customers . That’s five pounds each compensation for raw chicken, cold ,soggy,tasteless inedible vegetables and poor service . Much of our dinner was left on our plate.Not one of us ate a full plate of food and we all have very healthy appetites . There are many excellent restaurants/pubs in the vicinity offering much higher standard of food and service .

We noticed how quiet it was for a Sunday at 6pm We ordered our food and a bottle of wine . The waitress brought our wine asked if it was the right bottle and plonked it on the table unopened and trotted off !!! Unbelievably bad service. The food was very average and overpriced.

Food was nice but coukd have been hotter. There was a table of about 12 people who were very loud and one of them was vaping at the table and no one came to ask them not to, which i found unbelievable. 🙄 Didn't charge us right for our cocktails, so paid £5.00 more than we should as there is an offer on Sundays .....didnt realise until we got home. Our first visit but very dissapointing, would not recommend.

went here on Sunday for my sons birthday, 5 adults 1 baby and a3yr old. very welcoming, starters for two adults and 1 child's meal arrived, we then waited over an hour for our meal, we were seated in a position that all staff could see us.large table served before us, all staff serving that table, manager recognised we had been waiting and offered discount. also offered bread and olives while we waited but it took so long for this to come out of kitchen that our main meals arrived at same time so we didn't eat the bread and olives. we were then offered the sweet menu and ordered from this, again the large table was served by all staff and we were ignored, a table for two, who arrived long after we sat down were given their dessert before us, two tables opposite had had their meals and left before we had our mains....we then told them that if we wasn't served immediately then we would walk out. still waiting...no desserts so we went to till to pay and had to wait to do that........we were there 3 and a half hours and only got 2 starters and our mains, which was bland and dry...will never go again.......definitely never recommend.......having spent hours waiting and trying to entertain 2 toddlers....VERY disappointed... .....

My experience with The Hide was somewhat of a mixed bag. Let me explain. My partner and I decided to go here for our anniversary - we are both big steak fans and wanted to try something new. Upon arriving, the restaurant was very quiet - for a Tuesday I expect this and it served us well. The lady who served us was nice, if a little clueless about what they did/didn't sell but more on that later. We sat down at a window table and was pleasantly surprised by how lovely the whole restaurant looked from where we were sitting. We decided on a corner-window seat as we didn't know how full the place would get later and didn't want to get in the way. I sat directly in the corner and was slightly dismayed to see that I had sat DIRECTLY under a speaker. It was rather loud and I had to raise my voice higher than normal to be heard by my partner sitting only 3 feet away. The server came to take our drinks order, and this is where things started to sour slightly for me. As a steak fan, I am also a huge fan of a good red wine to go with it. I asked the server "What wines do you have?" her response..."Red, White and Rose" - I couldn't help but chuckle slightly, so I asked what reds she had, she didn't know. The first thing any server should know is what they are serving, what is available and how much it is, she knew none of these things and instead had to go across the restaurant to the till, to check. She came back to me there was a Shiraz, Malbec and Merlot - not exactly a billionaire's banquet as you can see, but I reluctantly got the Shiraz - it was vile. I then got a pint of some-thing or other, and that tasted lovely. Partner got a gin and a cider, and again, no complaints there. Next comes the food. Like so many, we had looked online to see what was available and had chosen our meal, when we arrived, very little of it was available and for a 'steakhouse' the choice was rather lacking. We looked at the "menu" - which was a small piece of white paper with some items on it and appeared to have seen better days. For an establishment as outwardly beautiful as this, it was a big let-down to be handed a flyer - rather ruins the atmosphere in my opinion. We both got a rump with all the trimmings and a calamari starter - no complaints there, food was lovely, steak was cooked to perfection and the trimmings were delicious even if the peppercorn was slightly too peppery for my tastes. We had a great time there listening to the slow atmospheric music which was being played - if rather loudly and paid for our meal. The meal came to around £80, which was more than reasonable for what we had. My last point of contention is with the server's behaviour as we left. We started to make our way over to the door to leave, and she barely looked up from her phone to say goodbye - found this rather rude considering there was no-one else in the restaurant. All in all, a rather mixed experience. I would go again, but I would sit in a different place and lower my expectations going forwards. Special mention to the chef however, as he was lovely and came to see how our food was - you don't see that nowadays and it was a welcome addition to our experience. Probably see you again on Valentine's Day The Hide, even if the experience wasn't an overwhelmingly positive one, I believe you can do better and I look forward to seeing you try.

It is no longer called the deep drop !! It has returned to its original name "The Victoria"

The staff is really friendly, food is fabulous. Definitely our new regular for food and drink and the atmosphere is so chilled.
