Upscale décor in London

“A chefs perspective of ottos it could not get more French when you walk in your transported to France. The owner is a French as they come! I thought the goats cheese soufflé was one of the best starters I’ve ever had. The scallops were also as good as it gets. The service on the starters wasn’t the best they got our starters mixed up the front of house manager took our order so that was his bad the younger waiter had to take the embarrassment for it!. I did find the front of house manager abir all the place pacing up and down the restaurant looking quite bored at times but he is good with customer with his old school approach and jokes and he’s certainly knows what he’s doing. It was quiet that night so maybe that was the mistake and the pacing up and down. As for the rack of lamb the theatre was great but the lamb was as good as roar in my opinio. I forgot how rare the French cook meat. That ruined it for me and in my opinion English peolple think that is to under cooked the worst part was the fat had not been rendered down and was very raw and tough also the whole lamb was under seasoned and it needed some sort of peas maybe as a purea?! It ruined rhe meal for me I said to my sister I’ve only cooked a rack of lamb a few times so these guys should get it bang on cooking it most nights but they messed it up big time! They should ask how you want it cooked because once it’s been carved that’s it you will have to flash it in a pan which will ruin it to cook it more! execute the cooking right b4 you bring the theatre out I would say I have never had pomme soufflés b4 I wanted to get them to see what the hype is about they were exactly how they should be looks wise a work of art crafted by a mater of his trade! They are extremely hard to make so hats of ro the chef who did them for me sadly as I expected rhe flavour was not great just like a crisp with no seasoning the salt had not even stuck to them again all about the theatre but lacking in seasoning. They would be better served with some sort of Hollandaise or aioli not the jus. The Apple tart was to die for and the chocolate pot and the after dinner truffles were not very impressive . It’s a great restaurant I would not return I would say it’s the sort of place most people would only go once I would not say it’s worth the price tag for normal people anyway. I know my food and how hospitality runs so I like to leave an honest chefs review of restaurants. I would like to say the younger guys in the team were very professional and knew what they were doing shame they have to make up mistakes of others but it was an experience I wanted to show my sister a higher class of food and service and it did deliver just a shame rhe lamb was not right. Whej it came to the bill I was not willing to pay the 12.5% tip I wanted to tip what I thought it was worth they wanted £30 service charge well I put 10£ for it and of course like all fancy places and most places in general in london they make you feel bad for it and it can create a scene my £10 was a fair tip they shpuid of been happy with considering the service they had given me and tbh this bugs me about these places I’m not from the 1% my bill is already very expensive why embarrass me in front of other guests and my sister not all guests have endless amounts of money and don’t take it personally if people cannot pay the service charge it’s optional some people are hard up and save for a meal like this. Thanks to ottos for the experience it’s something I will not forgot the French know how to eat drink and live that’s for sure there food brings joy all round the globe they are very passionate people when it comes to hospitality.”

“We had an excellent weekend stay at the Canopy. On arrival we received a very friendly, welcoming and efficient check-in service from Connor. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Due to a train delay, we arrived much later than planned, so ate at the hotel the first night. The food was delicious and, again, the service friendly and efficient. Breakfast was very good. Not a huge selection, but still enough to choose from, and good quality. Our only issue was that the pillows in our room were too plump for our liking, but the staff promptly changed them for us. Throughout our stay, the staff were excellent. We would certainly stay here again.”

“Absolutely fantastic experience — I’m back for the second time, and I couldn’t be happier that it was recommended to me. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. My stylist really listened to what I wanted and delivered exactly the cut and colour I had in mind — even better than I expected! The products they use are high-quality, and the whole team creates such a positive, relaxing vibe. So happy with the results!”

“Absolutely stunning food！Had the full tasting menu. Every single course tastes amazing！ The whole dining experience was fantastic. The amuse bouche was served in the bar area，and then we were led to the dining room. The dining tables are big and between tables it is very well spaced. The service is very professional. The environment is very well designed and decorated. Guests can watch the chefs cooking in the open kitchen. The taste of the food is complicated also very well balanced. My favourate dishes are lobster rice，quail，fish stew and the wagyu.”

“We had a wonderful lunch here with our team! Fresh and delicious food, great atmosphere and amazing service!”

“Everything about the experience of buying my new sofa was excellent, from Emma in the showroom, to the choice on offer and the fact that I could have exactly the material I wanted for both sofa and footstool. Delivery was also sooner than expected. My sofa and footstool are stunning and the sofa is also very comfortable.”

“I've eaten here a few times now with a group of friends and we have always had a fabulous time. The duck is the best I've ever eaten and my rare steak was perfect. The cocktails take a moment but are worth waiting for. There are usually six of us who eat together and a couple of them can be quite fussy but we regularly come back to Alcedo as we have never had a complaint from our group. The staff are friendly, welcoming and professional.”

“Had an afternoon breakfast here. The food was excellent, and the service was very friendly.”

“Leigh was an absolute star and looked after us so well. Advised on some great recommendations. Had been to Marco Pierre Whites the weekend before and here was better food and value.”

“Excellent foods as usual, the pasta, risotto, pizza. Good quality of ingredients. Service was excellent, a bit of wait for the foods but it so worth it.”

“Elystan street is hands down my favourite restaurant in London and I can’t recommend it enough! The food is incredible and service is highly attentive! They have an amazing seasonal menu if you go for the early seating at 6:30 as well as incredible a la carte and 6 course tasting menu options! For special occasions they have a hand written card on your table signed by all the members of the kitchen. It is a bit on the pricier side (with the exception of the seasonal menu which is great value) but highly worth it! Atmosphere is quaint, light music with general restaurant chatter so you can have a nice conversation over dinner, the tables are also well spaced apart”

“Absolutely delicious! Excellent food & very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back! ❤️”

“This my favourite restaurant ever! The Paris location also never fails to please me either. I visited yesterday to celebrate a birthday, the food, ambiance and service was top tier. Once again, thank you!! ☺️”

“Best Turkish kebap around Mill Hill and Edgware. Use to live just around the corner in 2007-2009 then moved to Harrow but still come here for food. Been a customer for 18 years and never once disappointed. Good service, friendly staff, excellent quality of food and good portion size. Absolute gem”

“A great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors—sitting in the garden here is always a treat. It’s a very friendly and welcoming spot, made even better by the amazing bartender, Ian. He goes above and beyond to make everyone feel at home, even learning a few words from my native language, which truly meant a lot. I'm always greeted with the biggest smile, and it’s clear the place wouldn’t be the same without him. A genuinely great guy who adds so much to the atmosphere. Highly recommended!”

“Wow! Absolutely delicious food with great portion sizes. We will definitely go there again. The service was excellent.”

“Like the Black Horse, this is a pub that's more of a food place than a pub, but there's a proper bar area if you're just in there for drinks. Food is good and they often have deals on. They often have entertainment on, although this is usually just a solo singer with backing tracks. The pub quiz is once a month on the first Monday of the month (although is moving to twice a month in 2026); it's a good quiz with 8 rounds of questions on a variation of subjects. Overall a decent place for the locals of Pilgrims Hatch!”

“Came here with one of my friends on a tuesday for their tuesday steak and frites £15 deal, food was great ,vibes were good and the service was good . i’m not a drinker but the Pinot Grigio was really nice. The only thing i didn’t really like was how close tables were to each other as it felt a bit crowded but besides that it was fine.”

“The new menu is amazing I had the trio of cheese cakes for my dessert and they were really great. My friend had the after eight chocolate parfait again the dessert was amazing. With the new menu offerings on the mains top all at great prices we were really impressed. We will be coming again.”

“The best barbers in Kent! Jackie and Julie are very talented barbers; friendly, approachable, helpful, thorough and accurate! Catch them on Thursdays and Fridays - book a slot as they are very popular!”

“Everything was very good. The food was delicious , friendly staff and quick service .Definitely we will be back soon.”

“Superlative Ambience atmosphere qnd Genuine Aromatic Thai Food. Everything is 100% tasty and Halal. Service is excellent and Noodles are just right. Prawn need careful cooking not to get chewy and chef was careful. And succulent beef was wow. Amazing. Full Marks.”

“One of my favourite restaurants in London! I’m coeliac and it’s such a joy to get delicious gluten free Italian food. Side note: every friend I bring here who is not gluten free also loves it! In addition to the wonderful cooking, the owner, Lino, is so sweet. He always remembers me and truly makes my day every time I go in. It’s fun to just sit and watch him interact with all the locals and regulars who pop in to say hello and order. Really feels like a community hub and has a special atmosphere!”

“I have coming to American Nails since my 20s with the old Management Amy & Kaci that everyone in Dalston knew. Fast forward to new management who are welcoming & friendly and i love how they have upgraded the aesthetic of the shop. All the staff are lovely but My fave guy to do my nails is Duc le, he is so chilled, patient & laid back. He did my french tips & i was actually referred to him by a lady at the gym a couple of years ago. Im always satisfied with what he does ☺️ Went back again, Yin started my nails, she is quick but precise, Duc le completed my nails & both did a good job ☺️”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a fantastic experience with Imperium Group. Their team was highly professional, responsive, and delivered excellent service from start to finish. Everything was handled efficiently and with great attention to detail. I’m really impressed with their work and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy company! Special thanks for Syed KASHIF and Muhammad Hassnain.”

“Food was really good. Service was great.”

“Thank you so much for the hospitality, not only was delicious but amazing service and great location in Soho ✨”

“Amazing food, perfect service and nice overall atmosphere. The only thing is that ratatouille lacked tomato sauce but it didn’t spoil anything. Caesar salad with shrimps was one of the best in my life. Will be back and recommend 100% to everyone!”

“I used to come here every sunday night after training with the group of friends before covid and a series of lockdowns. These friends knew this pub and the landlord for many-many years. Lockdown has bloody killed this pub, unfortunatly. I was in the area and poped to this place to check ot out. I am glad that I found it open again and fully functioning under new ownership. But this once fully packed place was absolutely empty, only staff and the owner. I want and I wish this place be busy and brimming with people and life again as it once was. Wishing lots of luck to the staff and its new owner.”
