Why not give us a larger table in your completely empty restaurant? I like that they give your own bottle of water. The chicken kothu was really good. Street food from the eastern part of the island if I read it correctly. Chopped up roti, chicken, egg, onions and more. Tastes better than it sounds. They need to serve this dish in a larger bowl as it falls out when taking food out. The potato curry tastes good, but it's supposed to be in a coconut curry sauce. Which however was not very creamy and more on the watery side. As if someone had diluted the coconut with water and oil. Also a rather small curry portion. Also tried the puttu, which was three flour rolls, brown and white, good for pouring curry or Sambar over. The music makes for a not so very intimate and relaxing dining experience. Fast beat and loud like a Sri Lankan rave party, although quite entertaining music. They have a seafood Thali for £15 for those willing to splurge at lunch.

He took our drinks order and served us. I asked to set up a tab and he was fine. He pointed out the special board and welcomed us to take our seats. I had a burger and chips, it was nice enough. My colleague had fish and chips and he said his fish was actually really nice and definitely a good bit of quality fish. The waitress was so sweet, attentive and amusing! The decor was lovely and you can tell it's just had a big makeover. The whole place was immaculate. A really decent selection of drinks, including London lagers and ales. It is is at the posher end of "gastro pub". I would go back here 100%. If nothing else the staff have won it over for me hands down. You k ow you'll get served timely, decent food, with a smile, nothing too much effort.

They're dog friendly and there's a really nice nature walk right opposite the pub. You'd want to get there by car as it's in the middle of Watford road but to easy to find. The staff there are welcoming, we actually went on Boxing Day thinking it' probably be too busy but they were really nice and we got a cozy sofa spot next to the bar. The food is nice and warming I had the butternut squash soup of the day with nice homemade bread. They do amazing seafood hence the name and I'm eager to go for the lobster Tuesdays. I think you have to book in advance due to popularity. Will definitely recommend any hungry hikers and families with kids as they have a lot to choose from with whole lot of alcohol choices too!

If you love food, variety and quality with exceptional service in an environment and ambiamce of the Middle East then this is the place to be benefiting from a server of value for money.

Couldn't ask for anything more....

The service was friendly and relaxed though they were fully booked. Many tables were enjoying this or the mussels. I was still able to enjoy the happy hour which were channel oysters. They were flavorful but not as meaty as I like. The Gillardeau on the other hand were quite possibly the best I've ever had!! What a win. Dinner service was efficient and warm. The roasted hake was perfectly done with one side pan fried to an audible crisp. The textural difference and the flavors of the saffron mash/gremolata all added up to comfort + happiness + surprise. Job well done Wright Brothers!

The menu has a great variety, we can always find something that we like. I always start with the minestrone soup and then move onto one of many fantastic pasta dishes. The spaghetti Bolognese is hard to beat. The staff is well-trained and responsive. Most speak Italian, so prepare with a few phrases if you'd like. They tend to be very busy, so plan accordingly and call ahead if you're going to be there during the holidays or any busy tourist season. After dinner head out to a play for the perfect evening.

The atmosphere is relaxed, but there was a bit of competition for tables around 6pm, with some less than courteous guests grabbing a table when others were waiting first without checking in with the server on staff. If there are plenty of tables, it may not be an issue to simply take a seat, however, if tables are in short supply- best to check and make sure no one else is waiting first before grabbing the next available table. Otherwise it's a lovely atmosphere and a relaxed setting for an evening meal or gathering with company.

Fish Hook is an intimate fish restaurant located in a quiet side road, just off King Street in…read moreChiswick. The address listed on Yelp is correct but at the moment, its position on the Yelp Google map is incorrect, placing it somewhere in north London. Starting off as a South African owned and run restaurant Fish Hoek, it changed its name slightly a couple of years ago and in its new guise, has been garnering rave reviews from such diverse publications from the Michelin Guide to Time Out. As its name suggest, the restaurant and its chef Michael Nadra tend towards the sea for their primary ingredient though there are a couple of meat dishes on the menu for unconvertable carnivores. However, they would be missing out on some great combinations and precise cooking of seafood. Cooking influences range from France for an excellent full depth of flavour soupe de poisson to Japanese light tempura battered soft shell crab. You will find every class of seafood represented on the menu, from humble grilled sardines to no-expense-spared lobster with foie gras and black truffle potatoes. A great fish restaurant. If you like fish, you'll be hooked!

However, on deeper inspection - the Cow is a marvelous dining experience - complete with an extensive wine selection, rotating specials, and a bespoken approach to food preparation. The food? Well, it's British pub fare - with a slightly divergent menu on Sundays. Everything is fresh and beautifully plated. The bangers and mash was exceptional. The green bean salad was so unique and popping with flavors, I scribbled the ingredients list in an attempt to reproduce the dish at home. The atmosphere is hopping - it's a small pub ambience and there is not any wasted space. Not to fear, the delightful staff can help find a table for your party. I was a bit intimidated walking in on a Sunday night all by myself. My trepidation quickly went away as the server made it easy to relax and enjoy my evening. As a small aside, I sat next to the small kitchen space on the main floor. To see the amazing plates being prepared one after the other in that tiny kitchen, well . . . that was an amazing experience in and of itself. Chapeau to the chef. Truly a masterpiece to put out such accomplished food from a space no larger than most bathrooms.

Entered and was told to Wok this way to be seated. I can't decide if this is three or four stars…read more The main course portions are so small. Ordered three main courses for two people, but felt like we had three large appetizers. Prices are higher than normal for casual Chinese food. Appetizers starting around 6-7 pound! At least I can say the flavor is there. Because it was tasty and I left wanting more, well with those portions, who wouldn't. The tofu had smooth orange sauce, not at all gooey like you would sometimes see. The shrimp Szechuan had a really good sauce, but again not enough food on my plate. And having to pay 3 pounds for plain rice is not cool. The Singapore noodles had a nice smoked flavor. Top tasty noodles actually. I'm used to getting a mountain of noodles. Not here. Feel like they skimp everywhere. With the third dish being so small, I feel like they sunk to a new lo (mein). The ambiance is quite nice and almost like a venue setting. Very heavy on purple colors. In evenings you may be lucky to see the Chinese Elvis Presley performing who is a local Ruislip celebrity. Love me chicken tender, love me sweet & sour sauce, all my dreams fulfill!
