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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Our family of nine enjoyed a splendid Sunday lunch at Noel's. We were shown to a beautiful table, the restaurant is immaculate. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable about details of the menu, e.g. vegetarian and peanut allergy. We were delighted with the beautifully presented...mocktails. Everyone was impressed with the quality of each course. The expertly prepared food was simply divine, quality ingredients and skillfully presented. The Linguine Marinara - fresh and delicious. The waiting staff - Rezno, Callum and Daniella - were attentive without being intrusive, making us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant, even though we weren't! It was super easy to park in the Mailbox and the other half of our party Ubered right to the door. It's not often you come away from a restaurant feeling 100% happy but Noel's achieved it. We will be sure to return.More

Stumbled by Noel’s with friends late on a Saturday evening (9.30 pm) and menu looked fab! Luckily they could fit the 4 of us in (two couples). A lovely venue (aesthetically pleasing on the eye and those who love an IG post) and the staff...are just top notch so welcoming. We ordered homemade bread, olives, calamari to start. Then for mains 2 seafood linguine, 2 side dishes of spinach, t-bone steak and truffle mushroom risotto-risotto was 10/10. Including 4 drinks and service change just shy of £200 for the 4 of us. Will definitely return.More

We visited on a Friday evening and were welcomed by friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. The restaurant has stunning décor inside, beautiful canal-side views, amazing service and the most gorgeous food. The food menu is really varied, so something for everyone, as well as...an impressive, extensive drink menu. I would highly recommend a stroll through the mailbox and down to the canal to visit this hidden gem. Thank you, Noels, for such a lovely evening, we are already looking forward to returning.More

We visited yesterday for a bottomless lunch. Not a good arrival at the restaurant when the chef is sat outside on the wall smoking a cigarette!! There were only two tables in the restaurant occupied with two ladies on each having afternoon tea, so a...big lack of atmosphere. We were greeted by our waitress who seemed to be in a rush to take our food order, we had to ask for drinks, it took over 15minutes to get 2 cocktails and a glass of pink prosecco, why this long when there was no one else in the restaurant drinking? Goodness knows how long it would take if the place was busy! At one time we were the only people in the restaurant. The food was just ok, very small portions, certainly not enough for someone with a large appetite!! We had to ask every time to get a drink, how long does it take to pour 3 glasses of prosecco? not 10minutes surely. We were made to feel like they were doing us a favour by getting us a drink. When the waiter took our dessert order he said "this is your last drink "In total we had had 4 drinks each. Not good value for food or alcohol, we definitely will not be returning and do not recommend this restaurant! We left at approximately 5pm the restaurant only had 2 other tables occupied, when we walked through the Mail box every other restaurant was full, I wonder why???More
