  • Dishonestly lists it's menu prices by adding a resteruant set fee to the price. If they were honest they advertise the true price. (0.0%)
  • - A drip coffee set us back $9 - We paid $15 dollars for a side of roasted potatoes, despite the menu saying $10… we received less than one whole potato cut up into 3 pieces - An automatic 20% service was added despite the team being unorganised and rude. (Policy states automatic gratuity is only added for parties of 5+, we were a booking of 2) - For the Christmas Pre-fixe menu and one hot drink each, we paid $200+ each. - Absolutely no Christmas decorations which was poor considering all of the other diners were there for the (Christmas) Pre-fixe Perhaps this restaurant was just out of my financial league, so this review is for the average New Yorkers and tourists: save yourself the cheque, it won’t be hard to find somewhere just as good for 1/3 of the price.

  • 1 Star - Absolutely Revolting: Do NOT Eat Here! Walked into Papi Smash’d Burger in downtown Orlando thinking we’d try their hyped-up smash burgers. Big mistake—we didn’t even order and bolted out the door as fast as we could. The place was filthy from the start: sticky tables, grimy floors, and an overall vibe of total neglect. That nasty sofa at the front of the store was an absolute eyesore—stained, worn-out, and looking like it belonged in a landfill, not a restaurant. Seriously, who puts a revolting couch like that where people are supposed to eat? But the bathroom was on another level of horrific. The moment I opened the door, I was assaulted by a terrible, unearthly stench of urine—sharp, overwhelming, and putrid, like it had been building up since the beginning of time with zero cleaning in between. Urine-saturated toilet paper was scattered everywhere: on the floors, and wadded up in corners. And the urinal? Empty cans of beer floating in a pool of yellow liquid, like some kind of grotesque science experiment. Sinks crusted with grime, no soap, dark stains all over— it was beyond disgusting. If they let the customer bathroom get this vile, I can’t even fathom the state of the kitchen. We lost all appetite instantly and left. No burger, no matter how “smash’d,” is worth gambling your health here. Orlando has way better, cleaner options. Avoid this dump at all costs. (0.0%)

  • "We do not have alcohol - we are a vegan restaurant" - An argument I had not heard of before! The food was very good. The prices were low compared to the quality, so in terms of value for money this is absolutely the place to go to. Service was below average and the atmosphere is lousy, the chairs are unpleasant. It is more like a canteen than like a restaurant. (0.0%)
  • 'The Good Plate Hospitality presents... Petterino's, located just steps away from Michigan Avenue in the heart of Chicago's Loop and Theatre District. Petterino's has been a beloved downtown icon in the Chicago community for 20 years, continuing to offer the same spirit and tradition that diners know and love. Enjoy timeless flavors, authentic Italian fare, comfortable interiors and warm hospitality—it's the perfect local destination for tourists, business lunches or before the theatre. Dine where the rich and famous have dined—be sure to check out the caricatures of all the famous politicians, celebrities 'and influential Chicagoans who have eaten in the same booths that you will.' After reading this( copied from their website), what would be your expectations in eating at this establishment? On January 10, 2023, a colleague and I decided to have a good lunch. Petterino's was the pick for this day. Our server was friendly and engaging. His description of the shrimp and crab risotto sold me on trying it. The waiter described it as having shrimp, crab, saffron, tomatoes, and cheese. Waite staff instead served me chicken risotto. They apologized and went to prepare the correct dish. Though my dining companion could complete her meal before my meal arrived, good conversation lightened the mood. The free-fall decline of my expectation for this restaurant began when my food arrived. My risotto did not have saffron or cheese in it! The food was quite bland. When I questioned it with management, she told me that the server had described it wrong and that it was the Christmas special he had described. I then asked our waiter, who said the saffron was in there, followed by you don't put cheese on seafood. Really?! There wasn't even an attempt to ensure I was to "Enjoy timeless flavors, authentic Italian fare, comfortable interiors and warm hospitality' (your words from the website, not mine). I was beyond disappointed! (0.0%)
  • 1 the service was the worst I have received in San Francisco. Nobody would wait on us. 20 mins for water. 10 mins for a refill. They staff more worried about setting the tables (0.0%)

  • "Here's a steak in Las Vegas." I was told by a local guide. The hotel I stayed at is The Stake House. It was a circus circus, so this was also Thinking it was a connection, he went. It was a great answer. I asked for the smallest size for a set of steak, salad, soup and bread, but what came out was an oversized one. That's America. Hospitality from veteran waiters. I was happy to see that we couldn't eat enough and the waiter suggested a take-away pack. It allowed me to take my most indulgent breakfast back to my hotel room. If you want to feel American heritage, I recommend this famous restaurant. (0.0%)
  • $37 might seem pricey as the prix fixe for brunch at North Pond, but it is worth it! It is a 3 course meal, with creative, innovative offerings for each of the 3 courses. For my first course I had the red trout with dill cream and capers, accompanied by root vegetable slaw. This is the first time I have had red trout, and it was delicious. My second course was charred pork tenderloin with roasted baby carrots, maple sage bratwurst, pretzel spaetzle and sauerkraut. While the pork would have benefited from more time on the grill for a better sear, the overall dish was very tasty. Each item was delicious on its own merit, but they were even better layered up and adding in a little of the stone ground mustard provided. For my final course I had the Pumpkin Parfait served over gingerbread cake, accompanied by cranberry sorbet, spiced candied walnuts, and orange rondelles. It was heavenly! Service was well paced and very attentive. I almost forgot to mention that I started my brunch with a GREAT Bloody Mary. It is a rare treat to have such innovative, attractively presented, and very flavorful food in such a lovely setting. We will be back! (0.0%)
  • (Although disappointing to be sat 15 min late with a reservation), from then on my partner and I had an absolutely incredible meal. Our server Shannon had the most amazing vibes and service, and the food was 10/10 for every dish. We had an incredible time and are so appreciative of wonderful service and care for our Valentine’s Day dinner❤️ (0.0%)

"Cafe La Trova delivers an exceptional dining experience, thanks in no small part to the outstanding service provided by their team. Amanda, our server, further elevated the experience with her friendly demeanor and impeccable service. She created a warm and inviting atmosphere that truly enhances the overall enjoyment of the meal. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch hospitality and delicious cuisine."

"Hotel away from everything except building sites. Food and drink of poor quality. Al la carte restaurants again very limited selection but nice atmosphere. Egyptian restaurant did same food as in the daytime and was self service. Very noticeable that if you were a good tipper you got better service. Some staff very rude and lazy. Entertainment was poor even by Egyptian standards. Grounds were best thing about the hotel. This was our 5th visit to Egypt and did not compare to our previous experiences. Would definitely not recommend or return to this hotel."
