Moshi Moshi Sushi
I agree, this new manager (he said he was the owner??) is really RUDE and having eaten here for 10 years I will not be going back again. I recently went for a free birthday sushi making workshop. All was fine until we went to pay. Even though they'd booked me on it apparently I wasn't on the list so had to argue for 5 mins and justify myself! Then even though my husband is a member, because he had lost his membership card they wouldn't give him a new card, had no way of validating whether he was a member and wouldn't let him have his meal for the member's price. When we argued the 'manager' said "it's only an extra fiver mate". If it was only an extra fiver, why couldn't they let us have it for the member's price! Really Really rude.

Graze
I agree with the comment below - I went on Saturday and now can't wait to go back! Truly delicious food, impeccable service and a really nicely decorated restaurant. I really can't fault Graze at all. Home made (free) bread was also fantastic. Don't be put off by the idea that it is tapas (like I was for years) - it's more like eating lots of starters, which I think is the best bit of a meal anyway so to be able to have 3 or 4 is a brilliant idea! 10/10.

The Ginger Pig
Unfortunately they have put their prices up which puts it on par with Brasserie Pascal (which is way better). What a shame. Food is still good but service as always seems very rushed. They are obviously trying to maximise the turnaround so this compared with the price increase make me reluctant to return...

Hotel du Vin & Bistro
Hotel du vin have started doing that really annoying and rude thing of adding on a 'charity donation' to your bill. I asked the waitress who the charity was that they supported and she had no idea. I asked if she would mind going away and finding out, so she did. When she came back she shrugged her shoulders and said "Hospitality and Children'. I had never heard of this charity so looked it up when I got home and lo and behold, nothing comes up on google! This is poor - first to add on a donation you have not agreed to, secondly, to not know the charity and thirdly, it doesn't even seem to exist! Hmmm.

Hotel du Vin & Bistro
Their current £29 for 2 deal is no doubt good value. However, as always with H du V, all is not as it seems and you have to keep a sharp eye on them. When you order, they do not point out that it is only certain items you can have for the £29 deal. I have heard numerous accounts of people ordering the 'wrong' items and then them refusing to give you the £29 deal. This is even though you have booked the table for the deal AND shown them your voucher upon entry to the restaurant. In normal H du V style they will also try and add items on to your bill - we had our coffees added on even though they're supposed to come with the deal and a friend who recently went had an extra bottle of wine added on to her bill. Beware!

Pomegranate
Ate here for the first time last Friday after reading the good reviews on the website. It certainly didn't disappoint. We orderefd a mixture of starters to share which were very nice. I had the salmon for main and this was very tasty too. There were at least 4 mains I was tempted by and it took me a while to decide which main to have! Staff attentive and professional and the decor was very cosy and modern. It actually reminded me of what the Strand used to be like before it went down hill. Very reasonably priced as well. Will definitely be back.
