We were seated downstairs by the front window (which was perfect, as the stairs might have been too much for my 78 yr old husband). I have to say, we enjoyed the most FANTASTIC meal here... probably the best meal we had our entire week in England (even outdid some great meals we shared in both London and Oxfordshire). My son had an exquisite dish of calf liver (he is still talking/raving about it) while my husband enjoyed a delicious lamb shank dish-- and I, a fabulous dish of local fresh cod. The wine list had a great selection and the meal presentation was BEAUTIFUL. I mean, it was all just absolutely OUTSTANDING! My dessert (a toffee pudding, of course) is still on my mind. A very moist toffee cake with a delightfully hot, sticky, yet creamy caramel sauce atop, served with a side of fresh local cream (amazing!!) All in all, a very comfortable and enjoyable spot on Sheep Street-- only a few blocks from Skakespears home. Our server, too, I must mention, was very pleasant and attentive. A beautiful young lady offering a lovely smile the whole while. We'll be back, no doubt-- but probably not for another year, as we don't get to the UK nearly as often as we'd like.

Mykonos is a greek restaurant near the train station…read more The owner of Mykonos, Dimitri, is the friendliest, happiest restaurant owner I have ever known. He gets really involved with the people who eat there. Whenever I have been there, he has made me get up and dance with him on a table at the front. After the dancing he gets everybody outside and lets us all smash a plate. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is the best I have ever experienced in a restaurant. I highly, highly reccommend this place to people of any age for birthday meals, anniversary meals, a fun night out with friends, anything! You will have fun, guaranteed!

I witnessed yesterday what I consider to be the worst piece of customer service and embarrassing…read moremanagement that I can ever recall. A young couple came in to order drinks at a quiet time for the pub in the afternoon. The card machine seemed to not be working and this couple after trying repeatedly to pay for their drinks were told to return their drinks to the bar from outside, as they like most people of their generation were not carrying any cash. I felt acutely embarrassed for them as they were obviously made to feel extremely uncomfortable by the lack of empathy shown both by the serving barmaid and by the manager who was called. The drinks were then disposed of and the couple left, I'm sure never to return. I certainly will not return myself either as this episode of lack of understanding, compassion and downright rudeness on the part of the Orange Tree left such a bitter taste in my mouth.

Her customer service skills were very poor with how she treated us as patrons. She confused out orders and even lied about the drink service. She told me it was regular coke when she obviously served us Diet Coke. My cousin ordered 2 meals and one was to go. She did not put in that order and when we were getting ready to leave proceed to tell us that "It's not like when you are in America and you get to order things to go and rice cannot be taken off the premises" I have never heard of this before in any of the countries I have visited yet alone in the UK. She was rude and unprofessional and the food was equally unimpressive. I would not recommend this place to anyone!

A thunderous downpour preceded my dinner reservations here and I arrived to find the intimate restaurant fully booked for indoor dining. Because the rain had stopped, a covered outdoor table with adjacent heat lamp would be mine, once the water was sopped up, but no-one could guarantee the rains wouldn't start up again. Had they, I'm not sure what I'd have done. It proved to be a rather romantic meal, being the only outside diners. A bottle of wine and the chef stopping by the table a couple of times added to the damp ambiance. Michael's will cost you more than pub fare because it's not a pub and they're doing something rather upscale here. The chef is most proud of his dishes involving seafood and when I ordered an entree that was fully vegetarian his reaction almost caused me to rethink. Both the seafood entree and the vegetarian terrine were very good and something a bit different for this area. Indoors or out, Michael's is good if you're looking for something upscale, intimate, and unique. If there's a chance of rain though, try for indoor reservations.

There is no car park or off street parking in the area so I would suggest using the Civic Centre car park or the Multi-Storey behind Marks and Spencers. The restaurant is of traditional style, decorated like a real Greek taverna. There are 2 parts, the small intimate front part and a larger heated conservatory area at the back. The food is excellent, I would recommend Kliftico (not sure how to spell this) and the prices are very reasonable. Cypiot beer is served. Drinks cost a standard price. I would recommend this place, it has a good atmosphere and is frequented by locals and Greek nationals.

The patates (available both crispier and softer) were heavenly dunked in lemony oil with liberal helpings of herbs. Spanakotiropita was the only miss. The moussaka entree was superb, with just the right amount of lamb, and the vegetables were super-fresh. Service was prompt enough (it's a Greek restaurant, after all) and very friendly. We were able to sit down right away, and get served quickly after ordering, at ~20.00 on a Saturday. You can't get retsina by the glass, which is a bit of a bummer if your dinner partner doesn't like the stuff, but the house white hit the spot. They also serve Mythos beer, a nice treat. Prices are good. A chef's selection of meze for dinner is only £15 a head, which comes with a drink. Meze selection, drink & entree is just £5 more. Ala carte it's roughly £4 for an appetizer, £10-£15 for an entree. All in all, heartily recommended by this picky Greek.
