Restaurant and coffee Lounge in Basildon

We had a lovely 3 course set lunch to celebrate my daughter's birthday. My 2 year old granddaughters meal cost over £7.00. The only thing I felt was wrong is that we had to pay a 10° service charge on top of the price of our meal.

Ate here today, Chips were under cooked. Hard to bite and did not taste good, told the waitress, they sent them out under cooked again. But since I was pushed for time I forced them down, told the guy as I paid they were still under cooked and he basically told me I'm wrong. If chips are white or hard they are not cooked! Not at all the service I would expect for these prices. To add insult to injury they charged my card twice, luckily I got alerts for both so I noticed it before I left. Needless to say I will not be returning here, despite the two lovely female servers being genuinely warm and friendly.

best fish I have ever had he even bones it's .

Lillies is still a great place for food. Staff are always lovely, food is always tasty.

After finding Urban Fresh about 18 months ago, we made a point of going there for a special meal every 3 or 4 months. The restaurant was always unusually quiet which is nice when you just want to eat and chat. We recommended it to anyone who would listen. There were so many great things on the menu but there was a cubed bacon starter and the Korean Fried Chicken that we often ordered and were the main reason for the 40 minute drive just to get there. We hadn't visited over Christmas so it was the obvious choice for Valentine's day. Well, what a disappointment. Urban Fresh is now Urban Italia it's just a load of pasta and pizza. Not really the sort of thing we would go out to eat. We both had the burger which was alright but not worth £18. Sadly we won't be rushing back unless the menu changes. As ever, the staff are great, attentive and polite. You normally have to stand by the desk for 5 to 10 minutes before someone walks past and sees you but it has always been like that.
