The seafood pasta was lovely, very generous portion. The calzone was good too, really hit the spot. It&rsquo;s a comfortable place to have a relaxed meal, and the staff were very friendly.

I had a lovely brunch at Bill&#39;s with delicious food and excellent service from Chris. The pancakes were particularly tasty, and they catered well to gluten-free options.

The Chateaubriand at Gaucho was cooked to perfection, and the staff were incredibly friendly, making it a welcoming place for all, including our four-legged friend.

The portions here are really generous. We ordered a few dishes and still had leftovers to take home, which is nice. The price felt fair for what you get.

Truffle cacio e pepe was the star. Pasta perfectly al dente, and the truffle flavour came through nicely without being overpowering. The meatballs were decent, but the pasta was the real winner here.

The salmon with mash and seasonal veg was cooked just right. I also really appreciated that many dishes, including the cheese, are Halal. It makes dining out so much more straightforward and comfortable.

Popped in for a bite. The tapas were spot on &ndash; patatas bravas crispy, gambas al ajillo garlicky and rich. Five plates and a drink came to about &pound;50. Decent for what you get. Staff were nice, no fuss.

Been here a few times now. The pizza&#39;s always solid - thin crust, good cheese, never a letdown. It&#39;s just a nice, easy place to grab a bite.

The bottomless tapas is a solid deal for the price. Ania kept checking if we wanted more, which was great.

Been coming here for years. Kieran always makes us feel welcome, never rushed. That&rsquo;s what keeps us coming back.

The sirloin steak was spot on! A bit chilly in the hotel atrium, but perfect for catching up with mates.

Popped in for a quick drink. The bartender crafted a lovely non-alcoholic spritz for my daughter, really thoughtful. Quiet spot, no blaring TVs. My old fashioned was a bit heavy on the bitters, but that&rsquo;s just my taste.

As a veggie, the menu had some solid options. The vegetable karahi was a winner. They also had a decent house red that actually paired well with the spices, which was a nice surprise.

Loved the open, airy feel of this pub. It&rsquo;s modern but still cosy, and the light just hits right in the afternoon. Perfect spot to catch up with friends.

The pizza-making class was a hit with the kids. The instructor was really patient and kept them all engaged.

Prices are fine for what you get. The mains are decent value and portions are good, though some starters are a bit steep.

Service manager Taylor kept an eye on things all night, checking in on tables. Felt like the staff actually cared, which is nice.

Counter seating is efficient for a solo business lunch. The beef bulgogi was tender, cooked well. The atmosphere is a quiet escape from the office buzz nearby. A solid option for a quick, decent meal in the area.

The staff were really nice. Food came out quickly, which was a relief after a long day. Just a nice, calm vibe in there.

The Qabli Pilau was good, the lamb was tender. The place is small and quiet, which I prefer for a business lunch. Service was efficient, they kept the water topped up. A solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.

The staff really knew their stuff about gluten-free options. My friend has a serious intolerance, and they walked us through the entire menu, pointing out what was safe. No guesswork needed. That level of care with dietary needs is appreciated.

The staff here are so friendly and helpful, even when it&#39;s packed. They made sure I was comfortable and my water glass was never empty. It&#39;s nice to feel looked after without having to ask.

The fish on noodles was good, but the teriyaki sauce was a bit sweet for me. Their house white wine helped balance it out nicely.

Been coming here for years, and the service is always friendly. Food can be a bit slow sometimes, but the staff are pleasant.

Loved watching them make chocolates downstairs. Upstairs, the hot chocolate was a real standout &ndash; rich and not too sweet. It paired surprisingly well with the savoury notes in my main. A proper treat for a chilly afternoon.

Popped in for a Sunday roast. The lamb was spot on, and the cauliflower cheese was a proper treat. But the real winner was the vibe &ndash; the place just feels warm and relaxed, with comfy chairs and soft lighting. A really nice spot to unwind.

Compact menu, but they do it right. The monkfish was the star for me - really meaty and came out piping hot. The chorizo and calamari were solid too. Just wish there were a couple more options sometimes.

Been coming here for years. The mixed grill is always spot on, well spiced and flavourful. Portions are generous too, we usually have some to take home.
