Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

the food was fabulous my poor rating is about the customer care, booked my table for 6 15pm, I arrived on time, food came late both starter and main took some time, then they started harassing me for the table back at 8pm, I can...understand the need to turn a table however to approach a customer and not even offer any sort or compensation or allowance perhaps a free coffee or dessert, its not my fault the food was late out, I held my part of the deal, really disappointed it spoilt a lovely evening, we had some great food & wine, I spent a tiny sum in the restaurant to be turfed out on my ear, I literally felt ran out the door , poor poor customer service.More

Our second visit to this gorgeous restaurant, we haven't been since 2019 and it was just as good as last time. A lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and the menu has plenty of choice for all dietary types. We chose a brushetta starter to share,...followed by two special mains. A gorgeous creamy pasta dish and a melt in your mouth pork belly. Our waiter was so attentive and friendly and the chef came out to make sure everything was okay after our meal which was a lovely touch.More

Was a last minute choice to come based on the expectational reviews rating but overall was not worth the hype and over priced. The food itself was prepared and cooked well but I ordered the beef cheeks with potatoes (mumma’s special) which was 95% meat...and was very oily and salty. Over powered the veg and made it soggy. It made Everything taste the same and was quite disappointing. The red wine was really nice and my wife ordered the pasta was was also nice but nothing was blow your head off I must eat here again. We were also celebrating our first dinner as a married couple and perhaps this isn’t relevant but it would have been good to offer some small token gesture to mark the experience. We’ve since been elsewhere who have done so and if you are expecting to keep a 4.6 star rating you should be going the extra mile. Overall okay but wouldn’t go back there. More like a 3-4 star place. Also the wait was 2 hours for a 2 course meal but that didn’t bother usMore

What a find, I love this restaurant! The food is superb, the baked aubergine starter was divine and the sea bass cooked to perfection. The menu had loads of imaginative vegetarian and vegan options to choose from and the staff could not have been more...helpful and friendly. At the end of the evening the delightful chef introduced himself and spoke to every table. Can’t wait to go back!More

Amazing experience. Food was superb. I tried this dish of the day which was a stuffed quail which was cooked to perfection. My friends had the lamb chops which they loved. The staff were very attentive and the chef came out to check how everything...was. Well worth the five star reviewMore

Double birthday celebration. Drinks were very expensive (£10.50 for gin and tonic which is more expensive than London prices £7.20 as at March 2023). We'd pre-ordered our meals but had to wait for an hour and a quarter. Difficult to say what went wrong with...food and service as I have eaten here before and it was lovely. It was disappointing overall this time. I'm hoping the owners will review the night's events and make swift changes to ensure better quality and service as it's a busy and popular restaurant.More

I went with friends to celebrate their birthdays. We had pre ordered our food but had to wait one and a quarter hours for it to arrive. When it eventually arrived my meal which was Polpo Gamberone & Branzino alla Piastra (£25 not an inexpensive...dish) the octopus was so tough I couldn’t cut it. So I told the waiter who took it away. The meal was brought back after quite sometime, when my friends had mostly finished their meals. The octopus was burnt, I still struggled to cut it and it was rubbery.The sea bass was over cooked and dry. The king prawn was not prepared and cleaned properly. The chef asked me was I happy. When I explained my concerns he said I should have used a sharper knife and did not apologise nor offered any compensation. Overall it was the worst meal I have ever had and It was overpriced. The customer service was appalling. I would not recommend this restaurant at all for the quality of its food nor the service.More

I stayed at the Kenwood Hall hotel and decided to go for a walk to see what was available locally. I cannot believe I stumbled over this restaurant while I was trying to find Eccleshall Road. A fish-lover’s delight - I had anchovies to start...and a most succulent sea bass for my main course. Delightful surroundings and very friendly staff. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. A real find.More

Akentannos is an incredibly friendly restaurant with absolutely gorgeous food. As someone with very awkward dietary requirements, Mario and the team were so understanding and managed to make the most delicious meal I have had in ages! Highly recommend the Sardinian white wine too. Thank...you for great service, fab food and a lovely night! Thanks again - cannot wait to return (alot!)More
