Advantages: Convenient for theatreland and Covent Garden
Disadvantages: No atmosphere when empty

My wife and I booked for lunch yesterday mainly because the menu is marked with gluten free products (she suffers from Coeliac Diease and so needs a gluten free diet). It was OK but nothing to write home about. We thought it might be busy - Central London on the Strand - and so booked in advance, on line. No problems with the booking, straight through with an e-mail confirmation by return. We arrived in good time for our 1.00pm booking to find ...
...in use. We were quickly and efficiently shown to our table, presented with menus and asked if we would like a drink. Ordering was not a problem either as the waiter clearly knew his job and was able to do it. My wife ordered the soup (£4.95) and said it was delicious, I had boiled beetroot with seville oranges and rocket , just about OK for £6.25. For main course my wife had the grilled chicken with a jacket potato (£12.95) and side orders of ... Read review

Advantages: Dont knock it til you try it !
Disadvantages: Once you try it you will most definitely knock it!!!!

...myself. Upon arrival at Stringfellows I was looked up and down by the bouncers - sorry, "doormen". I dont think they liked the look of me much. I could tell by the way my coat and shoes caused their lips to curl away from their teeth. At the vital moment (thats the moment before i got thrown about twenty feet closer to Shaftesbury Avenue) out came my girl, Bubbly Jo, and saved my tush from certain beats. The staff could not contain their dislike ...
...all very nice decor inside Stringfellows - i mean its a kind of luxurious feeling, red velvety place, with thick carpets and opulent drapes and curtains hanging everywhere. Pretty barmaids and barmen serve you, Good looking waiting staff bring the food. There are upstairs and a downstairs sections, as i mentioned earlier . The upstairs is the restaurant mainly, bar and dancing girls. Then theres the downstairs, which is more of a nightclub. Dj playing ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, fast, fun
Disadvantages: Arguably, not the highest quality food (but not bad either)

Wong Kei’s (pronounced “wonky’s”) is a well-known Chinese restaurant on Wardour Street, off Leicester Square in London. I had the pleasure of eating there last night, and this is a review of that visit. I have eaten at Wong Kei several times but had not visited for a number of years before last night. The restaurant is famous for its cheap food, fun and informal atmosphere, and most of all, rude waiters and I was interested to see whether the place ...
...over several floors and sure enough, when my husband and I entered, we were told “upstairs…please”. We joined the queue on the stairs, and after a few minutes, we were shown to two spare seats on the first floor. One thing to note about Wong Kei is that you do share tables with other diners, and this is usually part of the fun. However, we noticed immediately that most of the old, large tables for eight or more people had been replaced by a larger ... Read review

Advantages: The atmosphere, the food, the toilets!
Disadvantages: The chairs could be a little comfier

I think the review before this one was really harsh, and in fact when you read the whole review he sounds like he had a good time, despite the 'barely edible' food! I've been to this restaurant a couple of times and I've always really enjoyed myself. The food is solid Greek Cypriot fare, and if you like Greek food then you will like the food here. The Meze is a great deal and I'd recommend it to anyone. It's not high-class dining, but then I can't ...
...restaurant in Ealing! The atmosphere is fantastic, the staff are friendly but not overwhelming (and yes Gordon Ramsay probably wouldn't employ them, but who cares?), and the toilets are definitely worth seeing! The music is pleasant to have in the background, although it can get quite rowdy at the weekend! The best time I've had there was at lunchtime when it is not that busy because the waitress had time to talk to us about the food and to take ... Read review
