   "Excellent" is the perfect word to describe our experience at Sager + Wilde Paradise Row. My friend and I sat at an outdoor table on a warm Thursday evening, enjoying the lovely ambiance and vibrant vibes. The menu was so inviting that we wanted to try everything—and we nearly did! We ordered all the starters to share and a main course each, and every dish was incredibly delicious. The fresh, mouthwatering ingredients left us ordering their homemade focaccia three times just to clean our plates! We paired our meal with a couple of bottles of wine from their impressive wine list and finished with a glass of exceptional whiskey. Beyond the fantastic food, the service was impeccable. Our server, whose name we unfortunately missed, was friendly and attentive. Honestly, it was one of the best dinners we've had in a long time.

   We loved our food and wine here and service was excellent. Little quiet when we were there for lunch but we really enjoyed ourselves and were impressed with the food. The lentils and pumpkin dish was out of this world. This restaurant is almost across the street from The Young V&A and it’s a great place to eat if you’re going there w kids to an exhibit. Very convenient to tube station too. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Great wines by the glass.

   The ambiance at Sager + Wilde is really lovely. You’ve got a railway arch, large mature trees, outdoor lights and an eclectic mix of hipster type customers making the place all vibey and cool. Unfortunately the food is disappointingly basic and really lacking depth or complexity of flavour. Particularly when viewed through the lens of the fancy-speak menu wording. For example, my whipped cod’s roe and fennel crudité was in fact a dollop of taramasalata with some roughly chopped fennel next to it, which I had to tear into ‘crudités’. The tuna carpaccio was the most flavoursome of our starters but the tuna was unseasoned and the dish lacked any sort of oomph or personality. The tagliatelle and spaghetti were on the crunchy side of al dente, and my spaghetti was drying out on the plate when it arrived, so had to turn it over in the sauce to re moisten it. Luckily it was all stuck together so it was like turning over a birds nest. The sauces were okay. Everything was ‘okay’. It was like a 1970’s housewife found a Mediterranean cookbook and gave everything a whirl, but she had none of the herbs or spices in her cupboard so she just put the ingredients together and covered her sins with lashings of olive oil. The greatest sin of all, however, is the baked aubergine. I cannot fathom the brazen disillusionment that lies behind the action of serving up half a sad aubergine on a plate, with some kind of mushy miscellaneous ‘filling’ for £16 - with no side to it whatsoever. No rice, no salad, no nothing. Just the baked aubergine staring back at you from the plate. You know it’s what you ordered, but somehow you just expected more. The food was so disappointing we didn’t stay for dessert. We spent £150 on 4 people with a £33 bottle of wine. The staff were a mixed bunch, a couple were fairly friendly and one guy was fairly unfriendly. They were nice to our dog which is a massively redeeming quality. Dogs are allowed outside but not inside. Overall I would say I might consider going back here again for some wine with a friend, as it’s very convenient to Bethnal Green station and a nice place to sit on a summer evening. But I definitely wouldn’t eat here again.

   Fabulous selection of wines but careful, your choice can make the meal a bit too expensive. Menu is short but very well cook. It was super quiet when went there so had a good chat with the hostess who helped us with the wine. Very nice place but if you are a fuzzy eater maybe not for you. (Men toilets were broken so there was a queue for the only one available, every single time.)

   A cozy, dimly lit restaurant under a train. Perfect for a date night in East London. I wouldn't walk here, but once you get here, it's a very cool little spot. You can hear the train rumble, but it isn't loud enough to really be a bother. We went with the chef's menu, which was an assortment of the a la carte menu. Our favorites were the ricotta, the spaghetti, and dessert. The service was great. The sommelier suggested the perfect wine. The host and waitresses were all polite and cheerful too!

   We visited Sager and Wilde on Friday early evening, arriving just an hour after opening. Service was great - we had all explanations and attention throughout the evening. Last time we’ve been to Sager+Wilde was 3 years ago and can definitely say it improved since then. We have tried all non-carne plates and all of them were super tasty and creative, crayfish salad to highlight. We decided not to get any desserts as there was nothing with chocolate Generally our experience exceeded expectations and I would heart-fully recommend this place for tapas and wine, just wine or just tapas. Ambience is very romantic and stylish. Thanks again for the wonderful evening and hope to come back soon.

   Had dinner around 7.30pm. I'll definitely go back to try the rest of the menu. To.Po (£11,50): 10/10 super good! Well made and presented. [gin, Martini Rosso, white port, chocolate bitters] Focaccia (£ 4,50): 9/10 tasty focaccia with a drizzle of olive oil. Would have been a 10 if it would have been warmed up a bit. Venison (£26,50): 9/10 every single ingredient on the plate was great and they all comined in a mouth-watering bite. Charity Still Water (£1,00): "all proceeds to Red Cross Turkey-Syria earthquake appeal" Service Charge 12.5% (£5,44) tot. £48,94 The railway running on top of your head is greatly muffled with soundproof solution and you barely notice it. The restaurant is nicely furnished and decorated. Highly recommended for a great dinner with amazing food.

   Paradise row is a collection of railway arches with bars and restaurants behind Paradise Gardens. Sager + Wilde is where you want to go for a proper 3 course lunch or dinner. They serve fresh pasta dishes. We shared the veggie options. I can recommend this restaurant for a date night or relaxed place to lunch with friends. The interiors are lovely. We sat outside in a pedestrianised area so there’s no traffic.
