Cherry Trees Coffee House
Padstow, Cornwall,Isles of Scilly, 20-30£
18/01/2024: Extremely disappointed with how my wife and I were treated today. We went to Padstow for a trip out and decided to pop into the Cherry Trees Coffee House (harbour side) for a coffee and may be something to eat. I asked for a table for a couple of coffees. The coffee shop only had two other customers (time being 1:30pm) yet we were treated to a statement ”as we’re not too busy we will let you take a table”, clearly not wanting us custom if only wanting a coffee each. We did buy a slice of cake as well. After finishing and paying and just about to leave there was a heavy hail shower so just waited for a minute. The lady said “if we get busy I will have to ask you to leave”, at that moment another couple came in, we stepped aside and the lady then said “see this is what I meant” insinuating we were in the way. We promptly left into the heavy shower and will definitely not be spending our money in that tea shop again. This time of year in Padstow most shops are closed and the town is extremely ghostly quiet. We like to have a drink an bite to help out the traders in these quiet times but obviously our custom was not appreciated here.
14/01/2024: As locals we have been coming here for over eight years, However went out of season last week and was shocked at the RUDE staff, we were told if you don’t have a cake and coffee each we were not welcome at 2pm in the afternoon, then they sat us almost on top of other dinners with only about 20cm gap between tables!?
Yet another Padstow tourist trap now who have become greedy, shame on you Emma and family, maybe you forget who helped you through the covid periods?
Last visit from us and we will no longer recommend to any of our guest!

The Fish House - Fistral
Newquay Central, Cornwall,Isles of Scilly, 20-30£
17/12/2021: We visited in the summer on a blowy old August night :) and had a wonderful supper. Returning this week, we had snuggly table 8 against a radiator in a restaurant buzzing with happy diners. Although full, we didn't feel squished or too close at all.Our table wasn't quite ready and we stood at the bar for just a few moments to look at the menu and receive a super welcome and be talked through the specials board. For a returning visit, the food truly didn't disappoint - a generous and fresh fish sharing board followed by two fabulous fish stew specials containing great fish and fennel.It's so good that we are returning on Sunday!
17/12/2021: Excellent food, staff and service, we thoroughly enjoyed the food here, all food cooked beautifully. Even our dogs received a warm welcome, a bed to lie on and their own tapas

Vitta Bella East Hanningfield
Bicknacre and East and West Hanningfield, Chelmsford
26/02/2024: First visit to Vita Bella. Staff very welcoming and engaging. Really good value three course lunch. We look forward to coming back.
18/02/2024: Recommended to this restaurant so was really looking forward to it! However very disappointed 😞
Ordered oysters as a pre starter which was specified to our waitress only for them to be served with our starters which has never happened before! Advised our server for this mishap only for the manager who we found very rude and intimidating saying we've been doing this for 12 years and had no complaints but it was specified by us as customers so expected our wishes to get what we asked for! My scallop starter was so bland and looked like they'd come out of a freezer as so tiny! Mains average but didn't warrant the £35 price tag! Overall left disappointed and shocked by the rudeness and arrogance of the manager will not be returning! Highly overrated

Fanny Trollope's
Anderston / City, Glasgow City, >100£
27/08/2020: Booked in based on reviews - and glad we did. Set menu with 5 choices for each course. Lots of variety. Sea bass, sirloin steak, veggie options... I had poached peach, blue cheese and ham salad for starter - very appetising, tasty and filling. Went Chicken for main with truffle mash and black pudding - again very tasty and filling. Finished with cheese board - really lovely chilli jam. Set menu was £20 per person, really reasonable price. Lots of wines by the glass at usual restaurant prices - say £7.50 for a 250ml glass of Pinot Grigio or Cabernet Sauvignon. Service was awesome - restaurant layout very COVID secure, plastic screens between most tables but subtly done. Overall - great night.
25/08/2020: We had our wedding meal with our bridal party at fanny trollopes and I cannot find a fault! As always, the food was beyond delicious and the service was amazing. We’ve been a few times and have never had any complaints. They always go above and beyond for customers and the food is brilliant!

13/03/2024: We went for the lunch at jesmond , first we was bit hesitated as we don’t eat beef and port but TRISH was very accommodative and explained the chicken and lamb choices, we really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant .
Staff was very friendly and very nice
Food five start

12/03/2024: Fantastic service and beautiful tasty food.
A cornucopia of flavours. Only downside is that it’s very hard not to eat too much!

Dakota Bar & Grill
Anderston / City, Glasgow City
06/03/2024: We were given a voucher as a wedding present which expired in Sept 2023. We would have used it in the one year timeframe but anyone else with a toddler in nursery will know about having to cancel plans due to illness. Add to that moving house while being pregnant again meant we were 2 weeks late honouring our voucher. To our surprise Dakota refused to honour the voucher despite knowing the circumstances. We were a bit put out that they weren’t at all apologetic either. What’s it to them if they already have the money. Insult to injury was when we got a call from them days later and thought they had changed their mind. No, they just phoned to say they still wouldn’t honour it! Honestly, how mean spirited is that?!
03/03/2024: So disappointing.
Visited as a birthday celebration with family,
Service was very slow. This was to be expected as it was a busy Friday with big parties attending.
Staff, as always were lovely and pleasant but service slower than usual.
Food has a new menu and this is where it was so disappointing. The new menu has too much fish, the vegetable sides weren’t great and the mashed potato tasted vile. Unsure if it was truffle in it but was unpleasant. My son who had the Gnocchi said it was pretty greasy and appeared deep fried . He didn’t ask for the vegetarian menu but wished he had,
We have visited the Grill on many occasions but this was really poor. The new menu is unappealing. as I mentioned, if you are a fish lover you’ll do well but if not it’s limited, unless you like Steak.
We have to say it’s unlikely we’ll eat in the Grill again till menu changes as this was by far, the worst meal we have had for a few years in year. We’ll still visit Jacks Bar as cocktails are fab but the new menu has taken the shine off our dining out experience.

Konak Meze
Low Harrogate, Harrogate
17/02/2024: My wife and I returned here having visited a number of years ago. We booked because it was Valentine's night and they had reserved us a nice window seat.
An excellent meal indeed at a fair price considering current high product prices.
Lovely fresh Turkish bread to start with olive oil dip.
My lamb kebab main was beautiful and I've eaten enough over the years for experience. Lovely soft lamb cubes, nicely flavoured and served with good quality saute potatoes and fresh salad. Attention to detail from the kitchen clearly evident here in the presentation.
My wife also had lamb in a stew with rice, also delicious, no fatty portions, just lovely lean lamb.
Gratis portion of Turkish delight to finish.
Friendly and polite service
No hesitation to recommend even for a discerning diner and we will return when in Harrogate
Edward and Christine McAlpine
12/02/2024: This is our second visit, and was the second place we booked after a Turkish Baths session. The experience is cosy, being an end-terrace it's like being in someone's home, with staff friendlier than some family members! The food is fantastic, freshly cooked and good value for money, and as for the Turkish Apple Tea...love it! The semolina cookies were not what I expected, more cake than cookie and soaked in a honey syrup, but my partner made sure they didn't go to waste. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with them, they just weren't to my taste, something to be aware of if you're expecting a crisp cookie!

Restaurant Nathan Outlaw
St Endellion, Cornwall,Isles of Scilly, 60-100£
16/11/2023: An absolutely fabulous meal cooked by Nathan Outlaw and his team. I find it impossible to fault in any way, from arrival and welcome to carefully boxed petit-fours to take away. The tasting menu was beautiful and professionally explained by staff. Throughout, I felt our custom was appreciated and that's a big deal for me. So many highlights, but I'll mention only one - turbot in peppercorn hollandaise. How can a chef create a dish that allows strong flavours such as those to permeate in their own right, and not dominate to the exclusion of others? Just delightful.
11/11/2023: I have run out of superlatives for New Road and Fish Kitchen
Ambience brilliant, staff brilliant, food mind bendingly brilliant
Wines excellent also
We have been visiting Nathan for at least 15 years or so and at least 4 times a year and it has blown our mind every time
Do it !

New Chapter
Inverleith, Edinburgh, City of
19/08/2023: This was the best meal during our weeklong trip to Edinburgh. The had prepared the vegatarian options thoughtfully, making sure that they are both tasty and substantial. They were also very careful about food intolerance. The bread and herb butter combination was amazing. The service was impeccable. The only area of improvement I can think of is the dessert - we tried both items but did not enjoy them much. The strawberry dessert had a very thick and soft pastry crust - a light and crunchy one would have been much better. The posset was excessively creamy and lacked texture. Hope they improve their desserts.
17/08/2023: Efter att ha sett på bilderna tänkte vi att det skulle vara lite små rätter, men tre rätters menyn gjorde oss otroligt mätta. Väldigt god mat och service. Inget att klaga på.

Number One at The Balmoral
City Centre, Edinburgh, City of, 60-100£
19/11/2023: My self and 3 friends had a fantastic meal at number one on friday 17th november 23 .
i have been lucky enough to experience some fantastic restaurants over the years .this was world class .the variety/quality /presentation /freshness /service was all exceptional .the servers were knowledgeable and professional
10/11/2023: 10 stars!! 5 doesn’t do it justice!
Number One was extraordinary!!! The staff was lovely and worked in sync with each other. The evening was flawless and felt like a beautiful dance happening before our eyes!
It was a ballet of food. Exquisitely executed and flavors to die for! Each course left you satisfied and wanting more! We had the three course option. I don’t know how one could eat seven courses!
There are complimentary appetizers that burst with delight in your mouth. The bread was warm and the butter was a great compliment. The main course was the Shetland Salmon. We savored every bite! Next came the dessert. I chose the toffee soufflé and my husband chose the Blacketyside cherry pistachio one. Scrumptious beyond words.
We ended with complimentary mini desserts! Delectable!!
This restuarant is by far the best restuarant I have ever eaten in. Wish it were closer to home!! It would be a special occasion favorite if it were!
The chef, thank you! Thank you for an amazing evening. Our last night at the Balmoral was truly special because of your delicious, artful creation!!!

The Golden Chippy
Greenwich West, Greenwich
01/06/2021: Had a lovely lunch sitting outside this lovely chippy, on St George's Day, following some of the lockdown easing. It may well have been outside on a busy road, but the enclosure that they have does a great job of bringing seclusion and comfort. Top job, lovely food and great staff. Thank you
31/05/2021: I visited with a big group, great fish and chips... best I’ve had in London. Staff were very nice and friendly. We ate there and all received our food at the same time and very timely. Great selection of drinks as well. Will definitely go back.

Secret Spices

24/11/2023: Went with the family the service was spot on and very friendly, food was lovely and it was a birthday meal we went for and they played happy birthday and gave a slice of cake. Would highly recommend.

Marmaris Restaurant
Abbey, Bath and North East Somerset
27/01/2024: Great food and atmosphere! Staff were great and really attentive. Definitely recommend! Absolutely nothing to fault
27/01/2024: Situated in a picturesque position overlooking the River Avon near Pulteney Bridge, this delightful restaurant blew us away with its food. I would highly recommend the soft and succulent Kuzu Tandir (slow cooked rack of lamb) - some of the best meat I’ve ever tasted. The mixed grill was also highly flavourful, especially the lamb kebab. The artichoke starter was disappointing as it was canned (we wondered whether this is how it is served in Turkey) but the tabbouleh was fresh and fragrant. The service was impeccable - a shout out to Eren and her beautiful smile.

08/03/2024: 10/10… highly recommend. Very homely and hearty food. Perfect, not oily, great portions. Better than Mumtaz in our opinion. Very authentic. Served by a lovely man, Iqbal. Will come again.
