The lady at the counter was so warm and friendly, it really put me at ease. The complimentary prawn crackers and samosa were a nice surprise too. A very welcoming start to the meal.

This restaurant is a gem! The steaks are some of the best I&#39;ve had, and the service from Roxy was outstanding. The cozy atmosphere made our meal even more enjoyable.

The chicken satay was so fresh and tender. Really appreciate the quality of the ingredients here.

Decent spot for a quick bite. It&#39;s spacious, tables are kept clean. Food came out hot, even the fries. Not the cheapest but location works for me.

Lovely spot for a light lunch. I appreciate how fresh the ingredients are in their salads - the greens were crisp and the avocado perfectly ripe. It felt like a healthy, nourishing choice. The atmosphere is very relaxing too.

The staff were so kind and patient with my little one. Our food arrived quickly, which made for a really relaxed lunch. A nice, easy experience.

Popped into Charlie&#39;s with a friend while in St Albans. The coffee is genuinely the best around here. The staff are all so lovely and chatty, which made it a perfect spot to catch up. Will definitely be my go-to for a coffee meet-up now.

Popped in for a solo breakfast and went for the avocado toast. It was spot on&mdash;really fresh, thick-cut sourdough and a generous sprinkle of seeds on top. The menu is huge though, almost too many options. Spent a good five minutes just deciding!

Ordered the hottest curry they could make. It was properly fiery but still had a rich, layered flavour underneath the heat. They didn&#39;t just dump chilli in it. One of the better spicy curries I&#39;ve had.

I was unable to make my 3.30 reservation due to a family problem and the Manager kindly held my table for an hour. A big thankyou to all the staff at the Toby Inn Hemel Hempstead for an enjoyable afternoon and good food.

Booked ahead for a weekend table, which was definitely needed. Good spot for a quick bite right by the station.

The food here is always spot on. Saw a couple of dishes go past to other tables and they looked so good, I&#39;m already thinking about what to order next time. Flavours are just right, never a letdown.

Lovely spot, really nice vibe. The grilled meats were on point this time, definitely better than last visit. Just a bit pricey for what you get.

The pork and chive dumplings were so good, I ordered another plate. The cocktails? Spot on. Our server was lovely, really attentive without hovering. A nice, relaxed vibe.

Been coming here for years, and the service is always spot on. Mandy, Bow, and Lala remember my usual order and never steer me wrong with suggestions. It&#39;s that kind of reliable, friendly vibe that keeps me coming back.

The staff were so kind. They noticed I had a few bags and offered to help carry them to my car. It&#39;s a small thing, but it made me feel genuinely looked after.

Had the BBQ platter with friends. The beef was nicely marbled, prawns were fresh. Squid had a good chew without being rubbery. Place was packed, mostly with Korean families - always a reassuring sight.

This pub has a great atmosphere and an amazing menu selection. The staff are welcoming, and the beer selection is excellent.

Been coming here for years, and the vibe is always spot on. Love that they kept the original Victorian details in the restoration. Just a really comfortable place for a simple dinner.

The pistachio milk cake was the standout. Really creamy, with a nice crunch from the nuts. The mochi was good too, chewy and not too sweet. A solid spot for a sweet treat.

The cauliflower miso dish was a real standout, really inventive. Limited veggie options though.
