"Came here for a Birthday Dinner last week and had a great experience. The menu was great, a good selection of Meals and Roasts (as it was a Sunday) and despite it being a Sunday evening everything was still available. The food was well presented and fresh I couldn't fault it. Service was great slightly slow but that's if I had to nit-pick something of the evening it would be that. The drinks and food are fairly priced and portions are great too. The atmosphere is very homely pub and the tables are nicely spaced so you're not sat on top of each other. I would definitely return for another meal here."

"Although my meal, in the end, was delicious, it was a torturous route to get there. Oh, and before I forget, I did send a message directly to the YR via their website ‘contact us’ facility on Sunday 24 Sept, but not so much as an acknowledgement which downgraded my review one star further. I have a dairy intolerance and telephoned in advance to check I could be catered for and was assured I could be. I ordered sea bass and was assured dairy free. It arrived covered in a sauce but again assured it was dairy free. I was suspicious so asked yet again and a second waitress went to “double” check. After a few seconds my plate was whisked away. I was with a group of friends but at no time was any one of us asked about allergies or intolerances. I could have been severely unwell and this is not just about me. I expect better. Room for improvement"

"We have visited this restaurant many times over the past few summers and always make a reservation. We went on a Saturday night and noticed that while there were quite a few people outside in the front, there were not as many inside, which was unusual for 7:30pm. We ordered water (although I dislike paying £4.95 for it when tap water is fine), two large Montepulciano wines, two American Hot pizzas, orange and lemon sorbet (which was delicious), a sambuca, and a double espresso. The total bill came to £96 before tip. The food was good with no complaints, but we experienced mixed service from the waitstaff - one was friendly and even gave us a complimentary grappa when we left, while the other was abrupt. We heard rumors that the restaurant might be changing its name. Despite this, we followed a recommendation and made a reservation for the following two weeks at Pazzia. We hope the restaurant maintains its quality as it would be a shame if it is not the same as before. We will revisit next summer and provide an update."

"10/10 isn’t a high enough score for Kyle and the team at Las Iguanas Bracknell. Made a last minute group booking for 8. I dropped in that it was to mark a colleague’s upcoming wedding and I asked if they could make a bit of a fuss over her. They pulled out all the stops and then pulled out some more. We were greeted with sombreros, bunting and fizz. Food was fresh and prompt and although there was a mix up with one of the dishes they quickly alerted us, rectified the oversight and gave us the mix up meal as a complimentary addition. Honestly blown away with how much effort they made for us. Would visit again and highly recommend solo, couple or group dinning here Thank you L I Bracknell"

"The restaurant, while aesthetically pleasing both inside and out, is not one that I would recommend. During my lunchtime visit, it took a long time to be served even with their 'butler bell' system. It lacks sufficient vegan options, with only two main dishes on the menu. The vegan burger lacked creativity, and the risotto with sauteed oyster mushrooms was disappointing as it only included one slice of mushroom. The price was expensive for the quality of the meal, with the risotto costing £15.95 and a lime and soda costing £2.20. Overall, I was unimpressed and felt that I could have made a better meal at home. Service was lacking, and I would not return for another meal. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £20–30"
