The Griffin Restaurant at Gray's Inn in Camden

I came to this restaurant on my last visit to Marrakech a few years ago but now this place has gone downhill. I visited in November 2017 and I asked for food from portofino but they ended up giving me half of my order from the restaurant next door even though I ordered it from the portofino menu. It was really sneaky of them to do that despite me specifically saying I only want to eat from portofino. (The terrace on the top serves both restaurants food) when I asked them about this they said that the 2 restaurants had the same manager, so what? If I’ve ordered from portofino I want my food from portofino and not next door. Pizza was bland and pasta was tasteless. I would not recommend this place.

The location is amazing! Lovely little restaurant with pineapple inspired objects everywhere. The food is very tasty and the service impeccable! Love it love it love it!

We've dined at Cinder Belsize Park several times in the past and have enjoyed lovely, memorable meals with friends. This time, excitedly, we went to celebrate a significant occasion with our family and walked away horribly disappointed. There was no welcome greeting as we walked in, service was slow and we had to continue to ask for water, to place a drinks order, etc; we ordered some cocktails to start and the waitstaff joked to their colleague, in clear earshot, 'I have no idea how to make those', whereupon we were served G&Ts which felt like they'd been made with room-temp tonic; food was placed on the table with very little interaction, the service felt disengaged and unfriendly. Meanwhile, Deliveroo deliveries continued to be boxed up and dispatched in the table in front of us, and a chap unloaded storage box after storage box of takeaway containers into the restaurant. Either focus on your restaurant customers and make them feel like they're valued, or by all means go the Deliveroo offering but you cannot charge restaurant prices for a casual takeaway experience. Cinder was neither fine dining nor cheap and cheerful. The food itself was tasty but unremarkable, given the ambience of the place and one plate - the chicken thighs, were two of the smallest thigh pieces we'd ever seen, for an insulting £22. We spent £150 on our meal (2 drinks, no dessert) and were out of the restaurant in 50 mins, which hurt, especially as this was meant to be a significant celebration. The ambience of the place felt more like a takeaway grill. Wish we'd gone anywhere else that night; would've gotten more enjoyment (and value) from a takeaway grill. Will not ever be returning, sadly.

Lekkere fish and chips. Snelle bediening zelfs met een grote groep vlak voor ons. Heel verse vis. Friet wordt onbeperkt aangevuld. Pint met pils is lekker fris
