"To say I’m absolutely fuming with George’s Restarunt is an understatement !! We’ve been using this place for over 20 years as have most of the family. If there is an occasion George’s was the go to place … we were going so often at one point that when my wife was Pregnant one time they even done her take away of her favourite starter … but now I guess they don’t want the business. This weekend was supposed to be a special weekend for my youngest son. Back when he was younger he’d sit in there and eat the kids meatballs which were bigger than his head. Now he’s older and this was his delayed birthday weekend, and his first weekend home from the army in a long time. HIS choice of venue was to eat a George’s restaurant. I booked the table online for 18:30. I had a phone call from the restaurant to confirm our booking on the day, I even phoned them back to confirm the birthday part of it so logic says we were going to be there. Due to my sons train arriving late We arrived 13 minutes late to the restaurant to be told we could no longer have our table. What the hell !! The place was t busy and how does 13 minutes make a difference?? It’s a shame time moves on and the younger staff have no idea what loyalty means or even basic customer service for that matter. It’s a shame because the whole family have many many years of good memories here and now I have no desire to return to a place that doesn’t want my business. I’ll also be talking the rest of the family into finding a different venue for all future family events. Maybe George’s will continue as they have for a long time or maybe it’ll be run into the ground and disappear along with the original values this place held"

"It was alright food but sadly not great food. The curry spices had a good balance but didn’t delight and the non meat portions were on the generous side especially the rice. The grilled peshwari bread was the biggest taste disappointment as it tasted only sugary but then it was only £3. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the seating was ok; the decor is a bit 1970’s. I had a paneer main dish, which was fine but honestly, and I do keep referencing the fact that M&S curries are so much better flavoured and generously portioned. My wife had tandoor chicken shashlik main there was no tandoor used in cooking our food here) so the flavour was just sort of alright if you want to be kind when it could have been great. All the food arrived really piping hot. This was a first for us, in that where we come from, if one orders from the tandoori part of the main menu a curry sauce comes with the order but here it was a separate charge. The poppadoms too were extra when again we usually get them complimentary. The bill was £55 for two curry mains, a pilau rice, a way overcooked potato and cauliflower side, sweet nan, a pint of beer £5) and a 175ml glass of rosé. We added a tip ourselves. There were only two other diners at 7pm on a Thursday night. I doubt we’ll return not because it was bad but because it’s just not good enough. Here’s the thing, as eat out prices are rising folks who do dine out now rightly expect a full flavour darn good dine experience not oh well that was just ok. Summing up, although it’s a restaurant the food seemed more like what you’d cook at home as an amateur working from no skill or knowledge f Asian cooking or how to use spices to impress guests and from the cheapest ingredients you could find from an average supermarket."

"on 5th januar 2015 I was happy enough to stumble with some friends about the device scoops gelato southampton. to my joy, when entering into the load we were put under pressure by a coworker (the charming karina) to try all the aromes behind the theke. as milk products as it is. we accepted it. I will now list my highlights and regret tasting. we decided to start in the upper right corner of the counter that was on this particular day. Now don't make me wrong, jordan's far from coffee crazy. but this coffee ice cream was a joy in my mouth. personally it was a 4.5 out of 5. great start mr. scoops. we're pulling the counter down to the nut department. affected nuts: pistachio and hazel. both strong options but the pistachios really took the cookie. we're talking about sensual ice. because we touched the thema of cookies, let's talk the keksteig. Now I hate being selective. but the cookies to me had a texture as if they were completely cooked. isn't it a bit of a bite? now they stop picking as this is actually one of the most beautiful aromen behind the theke a 4.95 out of five (jordan collings top scorer.) white chocolate and erdnussbutter were also highlights of me. now we go to the hidden counter around the corner where they can unlock such aromen as: toffee, kiwi yogurt, chocolate sorbet and passionsfruit sorbet. I would say the best of them was the turbid. it was incredible. eis couldn't believe it. the passion fruit was also a joy to lick the spoon. now we come to the negative. all in the hidden counter. I can see why they hid these aromes. chocolate sorbet. who ever thought that would be a pleasant experience? it reminded me of a viral video with two girls and one cup. at the time I assume that even a few people booted. it is an egg that a very specific niche looks at. the same can not be said for the Kiwi prayer. I just feel that the room in the freezer could be used better. for example ferrero rocher or smarties? oh, yeah, that's mr. scoop. I had the three creatures that only cost me £4.50, I decided to pistachio, toffee and keksteig. it was a pleasure to consume. since writing this review we have bought free food. mr. scoops is the man. don't go to care."

"I had been excited for weeks to visit red dog saloon as I have visited before and the chicken was good. We went on a Saturday evening and firstly it was very busy. We had booked a table so we’re seated after a short wait. Service was slow but it was busy. We ordered two main dishes (both chicken), a side of burnt end mash and a side of nachos. The chicken was very good. Plentiful in portion size and great flavour. This was the highlight of the meal. The mash was one of the most atrocious portions of mash I have ever laid eyes on. Swimming in what could only be described as fat rather than gravy. No taste other than fat and mash of such questionable consistency it didn’t appear there most of the time. This needs removing from the menu or changing asap! Scandalous presentation for £7.50. Nachos were stale and disappointing. No salsa and cheese on them also had no flavour. Not great for the £10.50 we paid for them. Service continued to slow the longer we stayed to the point where our plates were not cleared after our meal. Servers were often clearing tables that were empty rather than attending customers still at the restaurant (who may continue to spend money on drinks or desserts) or were talking amongst each other. We sat staring at the cold congealed mess of mashy fat before getting up, asked to pay with a server and left. Left disappointed as they had been great on previous visits. Sadly lost a customer here."

"best pizza I had in southampton (after dominos the pate and clear benchmark for pizzas. at least for me, but then to their trips they can afford to be) the owner makes it all on their own faust even delivery still remains ready to offer an excellent service and is always happy to accommodate them where he can. for the value ratio to quality and taste, I had no better pizza in southampton and believe it to me, I have tried most of the outlets, however temporarily (yes I am over the burger van rotated pizza van, which appeared on a well-running road of a day) or shocking huge, as the pizzas are served in a west quay restaurant, which are literally twice as big as the plate they are. - No, they'll keep it. I'm quite traditional with my pizzas I like to be simple, well made and tasty, for the menu have enough options, so I can have so close to my favorite choice and be cooked for it well and finally to choose the ability to float or extra options that are today relatiw standard, but not for being taken for granted! so for example teig starch as I prefer, a thinner basic than what they get by default, and additional toppings, since it is really nice, exactly the pizza they want and not only the best match from the menu. Luckily, at bitz n pizza each order is made and before them freshly passed on their specific requirements or on a set option directly from the menu. and although I had always made pizza from besides a series of cold drinks, dips and by-alats, this small hidden gem offers the most typical hot almost food dishes that they would get in bedford place or st Mary’s on the same or better worth. the last pizza I had, which I had voted on perfection, was so good that it was almost on a par with dominos, but to a third of the cost."
