   My wife and I had a lovely dinner to celebrate our anniversary and The Dial made it very special. They have decorated it for Christmas so nicely and the festive music and atmosphere was great too. The food was delicious and the service equally excellent. Lots of really tasty options on the menu too to keep it a cut above the rest! We shall definitely return!

   We often went to this restaurant, and everything was always good and very tasty. But we were there recently, and something changed. We waited longer than usual for our meals. People who came after us got their food faster than we did. The portions have decreased, but the prices have gone up. I hope you'll take note.

   A good restaurant, I recommend visiting. We were there twice in the evening and the last time in the afternoon. The administrator is very attentive, polite and professional, every time it is pleasant to note that the restaurant administration controls the atmosphere in the hall and the service, always helps the waiters. Most of the dishes are perfectly cooked, a little upset by the replacement of octopus with scallops in the menu, but it turned out that the dish was not popular, although it was cooked superbly. We ordered squid, scallops, lamb, burgers, olives with feta, goat cheese on a flatbread, spicy pork meatballs, cheesecake, ice cream and were satisfied. We also liked the sangria. We will definitely come again. P.S. Excellent choice of music for the day and for the evening, it is different and completely matches the time of day.

   This was my second visit, and once again, the food was absolutely excellent—consistent in both quality and flavor. The atmosphere is stylish and modern, creating a great dining environment. The selection of beers and IPAs is impressive, with noticeable attention to quality. That said, the experience wasn’t perfect—there seemed to be an issue with the air conditioning, which made the space a bit uncomfortable. Additionally, service was on the slower side. Despite these minor issues, it’s still a fantastic spot overall. I’ll definitely be coming back!

   I had the opportunity to dine at The Dial for breakfast, and was impressed by the high-end atmosphere of the restaurant. The glassware and decor had a classic touch, and the servers were polite, well-groomed, and efficient at taking my order. The bar was well-stocked with a variety of spirits and mixers, and the cocktail menu offered both classic and modern choices. The bartenders were also willing to accommodate requests for drinks that were not on the menu or to create something tailored to the customer's preferences. The food arrived hot and well-presented, with the exception of the toast, which was not hot enough to melt the butter. The full English breakfast was a standout dish, with perfectly cooked eggs and flavorful bacon, black pudding, and mushrooms. The beans were also nicely cooked, but the spinach and tomato could have benefited from additional seasoning. The hash browns tasted a bit generic, possibly due to being frozen, but overall the dish was still enjoyable. Overall, I had a positive experience at The Dial, with excellent customer service and an attractive atmosphere. The restaurant offers a variety of menu options to accommodate different dietary needs, and the chefs maintain a professional appearance. While there were a few areas that could be improved upon, such as the seasoning of some of the items and the temperature of the toast, the full English breakfast was a standout dish that was worth the cost.

   Very nice setting and exemplary service. The food was very good, without being amongst the best places I have visited. Couple of niggles would be having the choice of chips or salad with your steak, but after choosing salad seeing the steak comes with salad on the plate anyway so you may aswell go for chips, rather than order an extra side dish of potatoes as I did. Also, the restaurant is very hot inside, could do with turning the temperature down a bit !!! Highlights included the meatballs starter that was delicious and the steaks were of good quality and were cooked very well. The wine list was also very good.
