I recently attended an evening dinner service with my family and was rather underwhelmed. My expectations were high due to this establisment seemingly having decent reviews and on arrival the setting and service really lent itself to what I believed was going to be a wonderful evening. Unfortunatley the food was just bad. Not inedible, in fact I finished my plate of gnocci as I was pretty hungry, but just bad. My bruschetta, one of my all time favourite italian dishes, an absolute classic, was incredibly dissapointing. Just being a heap of sloppy chopped tomatoes whose delicate flavours were completley over powered by garlic on a thin slice of soggy toast. Awful. I will say that the presentation and portion sizes were very nice, but the quality and flavour in the cooking was lacking in its entirety. In terms of authenticity, centuries of culture and cooking are crying out in pain and anger as their name gets dragged through the dirt. I wasn't suprised for the carbonara to be a cream based sauce, thats pretty typical in Britain as it is a mild technical skill to pull off a classic carbonara and get it to the table. But even so it was just so heavy and flavourless that my sister couldn't even finish it and after I tried some, I couldn't blame her. I will say the Oysters were nice with a fun presentation, Mersea oysters are lovely. But lets face it, all they had to do there was open them and put them on a bed of ice. No cooking involved. I wasn't going to bother writing a review, bad food is bad food and I usually don't bother, but thought I would check them out in more detail incase we were just unlucky and had come on a bad evening. What I didnt expect to see was the sheer volume of bile, vitriol and belittling present in the responses to the honest comments and reviews of people that seemed to have a very similar experience to mine. At that point I thought it pertinent to ensure more voices are heard. I await your incoming tantrum with amusement and hope it comforts you that your imbecilic, emoji filled response will certainly trouble me for the rest of my days. The horror. Don't bother about telling me not to come back. You don't need to state the obvious. If you ever do find it within the grasp of your ego to listen to some constructive criticism, please look to the following. Make better food. You have a nice setting, decent staff and clearly some of the ingrediants you are using are of good quality. You have all the potential for something pretty special. Send your chefs to Italy, find some nice little local restaurants and find some inspiration to move forwards with. Because honestly I've had better pasta at a Wetherspoons at twice the quality and a 1/5th of the price.

I have now stayed at the Dakota for over 7 years now and have loved every single time. The service is great. The one thing I love is the cocktails made at the bar. One that I really enjoy is a coconut daiquiri. Everywhere else I have been they have never been able to make one as good as here at the Dakota. Tonight I asked Rachel to make me one and it was amazing. The service given by Rachel, Ross and Dan was fantastic and I wouldn’t think twice about coming back. Thank you so much xx

Muhteşem hizmet, harika lezzetli yemekler. Kendimi evimde gibi hissettim. Yalnız sarmalar için ev yapımı dendi ama bence konserve sarma idi. Eğer ille de el yapımı derseniz de bence bir el atmanız gerek o konuya. Benim için sorun değil, ben elbet güzelini yine bulur yerim ama İngilterede Türk kültürünü ve mutfağını temsil eden ve iyi bir pr gücünü elinde tutan bir restoran olarak bazı sorumluluklarınız olduğunu da bilmelisiniz. Gelen yabancı insanlara kendimizi en iyi şekilde tanıtmamız gerekir. DENİZ Bey masamızla çok ilgilendi, güler yüzü ve servisi için çok teşekkür ediyoruz. Uzun zamandır kendimi evimde gibi hissetmemiştim, ellerinize sağlık tekrar.

We had lunch with friends and The Fox was the perfect venue for a catch up. It was our first visit and the food was the best we had eaten in a long time. I had one of their handmade pies and my wife had the sea bass, both were delicious.
