Paparazzi Restaurant Reviews Summary

Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

• "The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented."
• "The Black Angus fillet was the best I've ever had."
• "The chicken thighs and lamb cutlets were probably the stand out tasting dish."
• "The food, especially the steak, was delicious! Not your average steak, quality was 10/10."
• "The wagyu burger was juicy and very tasty."
• "The Korean sticky wings (absolute best in the game), steak with chips (don’t even get me started) and OMG my mouth gets watery when I think about the milk cake😍"

Cons:

• "The price is the main issue with the place, the fillet I had barely fit in the palm of my hand and for it to be £35 is far too steep."
• "The wagyu burger being £25 was also not worth it seeing as it tasted very similar to an ordinary smash burger."
• "The roasted salmon was quite bland and had no flavour."
• "The chicken shish was very bland and flavourless."
• "We ordered the Wagyu burger and vegan burger and both had some weird nasty sauce in them, I actually couldn’t even finish the food."
• "The food was very bland, mediocre and extremely overpriced."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "The service was perfect, I felt well taken care of throughout my meal by the friendly staff."
• "Faz in particular who was our waiter for the evening was extremely kind and helpful."
• "All staff were so friendly and welcoming, the place had such good vibes!"
• "The staff were very welcoming upon arrival."
• "The service was quick, but it wasn’t very busy as it was a Thursday night."
• "The staff and owners are very involved, knowledgeable and professional."

Cons:

• "Overly priced and really slow service. Staff were courteous and nice but really need to improve the service of food/drinks."
• "Food was amazing but service was terrible, forgot about our drinks and not once asked how our food was."
• "Very disappointing service and experience. Upon arrival, we were not greeted in a polite manner."
• "There was a massive delay in the food, some peoples starters were brought out and others had to wait."
• "Unfortunately there was a mix up with our order which meant we had to wait an hour for our order."
• "I felt a bit put off the food cause I just wanted to concentrate more on what I was eating rather than someone swallowing a stick of fire."

Ambience and Decor

Pros:

• "No expense spared on the decor either - place was beautiful."
• "The decor was absolutely stunning too."
• "Decor and ambience of the place is very much up there with the best, nice dim lighting."
• "The ambiance is great and everyone tries their hardest to ensure that you thoroughly enjoy yourself."
• "The atmosphere was so beautiful and welcoming too."
• "The decor is spot on and service excellent."

Cons:

• "Surprisingly good food for such bizarrely garish surroundings."
• "The interior is beautiful but the bouncers and dj seem pointless."
• "It's hard to define the type of food, there's a bit of middle Eastern, a bit of Asian, all sorts. Visually, it's an assault on the senses which detracts from the dining experience."
• "In a nutshell, all I can add is that you cannot make an omelette without breaking any eggs. The venue from the outside looks reasonably attractive, however in the inside its like a run down dark themed night club."
• "The setting was nice and the trees, mirrors and lighting were spot on. The service was quite good and enjoyable, the waiter made us feel quite comfortable and everything was good from that perspective."
• "Starter of Chicken Yakitori was small, and just lacking, with no dressing of any kind on the salad."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "The food was good and a decent portion."
• "The food is on the expensive side, but I believe the quality is worth it."
• "The fillet melted in mouth ..truffle and parmesan fries are a good side and the prawn starter is amazing ..I'm fussy and this place well passed my test ..lol..bit pricey but you get what you pay for .. 5 stars"
• "Great food, lovely relaxing ambiance. People are saying it’s expensive, but there is a good choice on the menu for everyone, so it’s not too expensive."

Cons:

• "Paid £5 for a bottle of water and £9 per 3 dollops of sauce which I think was absolutely extortionate."
• "The price is the main issue with the place, the fillet I had barely fit in the palm of my hand and for it to be £35 is far too steep."
• "The food prices are astronomical, the food portions are like people from Lilliput come to eat here."
• "Food was ok my starter lamb yakitori was so tough and chewy couldn’t eat it. My sister had the wagyu burger which was flavourless. The food is overpriced."
• "It is overpriced and overrated went to this place to celebrate my anniversary told the staff I wanted something to surprise my wife but did not get."
• "The food is average & menu is limited. There are a lot more fancier restaurants in the midlands for the price that some of the items come at (e.g. steak for £50-70)."
