It's a semi open kitchen and super clean, has lovely servers and hands down the BEST Turkish food I've had. The M-F noon to 2:00 lunch special menu is fantastic, generous portion and entrees include soft drink or wine. As of writing this review the lunch entrees were 9.50. I went for the Imam Bayildi (roasted aubergine topped with veggies and cheese). The plate came with a beautiful, incredibly fresh salad assortment and rice. My husband got perfectly cooked, marinated lamb shish kabob, again with the salads and rice. Before our entrees, the server brought a really lovely grilled pita with warm unique roasted onion dipping sauce. WOW! I had to resist drinking that from the bowl! To end, our server brought out 2 bite sized pistachio baklava and then 2 Turkish delight with the bill.

They provided complimentary warm pita with oil, red wine vinegar and cooked onion while we waited for our food. We started with sigara boregi which is deep flaky pastry stuffed with feta cheese and parsley. For mains, I had the kuzu sis, lamb kebabs, and my wife had the imam bayildi, stuffed eggplant. They both came with three sides, green cabbage, carrot and red cabbage. All of the food was delicious We definitely didn't need a starter since there was a lot of food with the mains. The best part is that M-F our mains and a glass of wine or soft drink were only £9.50 each. Service was very good and we'd definitely come back if we're in the area again.

This us import is way over priced and nothing special. Very middle of the road Italian food…read more Flavorless meatballs, meh sauce, just ok eggplant, and a lot of pomp. I don't get this place and I don't get the price point. In a sense it is a red sauce joint but it feels like a bunch of corporate bros who threw together their thoughts on what Italian food should be. Staff is fine, and ambiance is fine. The thing is, the food ain't worth the price. If you are at the hotel ok, eat it. But there is better Italian not a block away.

I have been wanting to go here for ages and finally managed to last Saturday night. First lesson -…read moredon't go on a Saturday night! It was heaving, and when the tables are so closely packed together as to make you wonder which person is actually your date, it ends up being pretty claustrophobic. Plus there seemed to be an entire rugby team gathered round the table behind us, which made our conversation absolutely impossible. Due to the place being packed out with severely limited room for the wait staff to get to us, we were horribly neglected service-wise. One very nice chap was great for the first ten minutes, but after that we literally had to shout 'excuse me' over several couples when someone got within hearing distance - usually to rush on either without hearing or without wanting to hear. The food was also below par - I did have four very nice oysters to start with, but my lamb wasn't terribly flavourful and the spiced aubergine it was sitting on didn't work for me. My side of Savoy cabbage was cooked in such a way as to mean I had to chew each mouthful for a full minute before I could swallow. My dining companion's Glamorgan sausage to start was alright (nothing special) and they described their asparagus main as "a dish that a meat-eater would invent for a vegetarian without actually trying it". The pudding of cinnamon chocolate parfait was lovely and we ate every scrap. To their credit they took the Savoy cabbage off of the bill, but it was still fairly substantial for the rather uncomfortable and unsatisfying experience we had had. I may go back and try it on a less busy night, just to see if they can function better when not stretched to breaking point.

I'm not entirely sure why this is being called Franklins Pub…read more It does have a pub / bar area at the front and seating outside n the street, and though a good place for a few drinks, nice lager on tap and good wine selection, but the place is really more of a restaurant, I'd be hard pressed to call it a pub. Anyway, it's small and intimate, very much a neighbourhood restaurant. The food is of the St Johns 'nose-to-tail' style so great for carnivores. There will be one vegetarian dish so if it's not to your liking as a veggie then choice will be very limited (though the cheese selection is fab). The quality of the food is why you go though; I've very rarely had anything that wasn't superb from stalwarts like the steak to more adventurous game dishes or sweetbreads. Like anywhere it can have the odd day when a dish has been merely competent and delicious as opposed to the usual excellence. The service is also good and strikes a good balance between formal and friendly. Wine list is excellent, talking of which I marked it £££, but if you're tempted down list from the 3-4 (of each colour) house type wines it will quickly become a ££££ (there's a great Margaux, a steal at £45,half price you'll find it anywhere up town). I've been going for the best part of a decade and it remains not only a local favourite for me but has trumped many a pricier option in town. Definitely worth a try.
