"The staff at Amerigo is incredibly friendly and helpful, as well as efficient. The food was delicious, especially the lamb chops which were the best I've ever had. The portions are generous. We were so impressed with our dinner that we decided to return the next night."

"Great set up with lots of well spaced outdoor seating along the front and side with great shading and a lovely touch with pictures and flowers to decorate, creates a lovely atmosphere. We loved all the food we ordered, some fantastic Italian cheeses and charcuterie served very imaginatively. The service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended"

"My recent experience with De Tarra Restaurant left me utterly disappointed and appalled. Despite testing positive for COVID-19 and responsibly requesting to reschedule my reservation for a later date for the safety of both their staff and other diners, they displayed a complete lack of empathy, as if my illness was a choice, they chose to charge me an exorbitant £460 anyway. It's important to note that I was not canceling my reservation; I simply couldn't dine with them at that moment due to my health. Their complete lack of empathy and disregard for public health is astonishing. In a time when responsible actions are crucial, De Tarra Restaurant demonstrated a complete absence of decency. It's not as if anyone wants to contract COVID-19, and their refusal to accommodate my situation speaks volumes about their priorities. It’s astonishing how they prioritize profit over public health. This lack of consideration for patrons’ well-being is nothing short of abhorrent. It’s as though they would rather have sick customers at their tables than demonstrate any semblance of responsibility. Next time, I might be tempted to dine at De Tarra while ill, given their apparent indifference to the well-being of their patrons. This experience has left me questioning the integrity and compassion of the restaurant management, and I can't help but feel that they fell drastically short in providing customer service during a challenging time."

"So, the range of sandwiches on offer are really good here. And the coffee is good too, and not served in stupidly small cups either. On a weekday it's a pretty nice place to be, particularly sitting by the window. However, at the weekend you're unlikely to ever find a space at lunchtime, and outside (on whatever day of the week you go) unfortunately tends to attract homeless people, who either come and sit down next to you, or walk past and beg you for money. Yes, I know this is a middle class problem, but unfortunately most people, being honest, don't want to take their friends to a place where you're sat next to a tramp. The staff do absolutely nothing about this either. I know they can't do much about beggars walking past, but they can be stricter on moving them on if they sit down at the outside tables. It's for that reason I now tend not to visit this place much."

"Bartender 's drink making skills were lacking. Flavourless drinks with too much ice. As we reviewed the menu and discussed the menu, he lectured us that no one comes here for the burger. When my wife said the burger looked pretty good, he replie, you should order something else. We were seated soon there after and told the waitress we wanted a burger. Sorry, sold out was her response. I ordered the overpriced fillet mignon medium rare and it came out medium well. Nice looking restaurant. Seems they put a lot of thought into the design. Someone else should be running place and they could be more inventive with the menu. As a former bartender, I recommend that rethink their cocktails. And paper straws? What a way to run a mint julip."
