“I love Locale! It's always busy and has a great atmosphere, the food is tasty and the service is good. It may be slightly more than average pub prices but then it's not a pub!”

Rodizio Rico (Islington) (Bar / Restaurant)
77-78 Upper St, Islington, London, N1 0NY
“Long story short: Upper Street branch, crappy, rude service. Waited forever for our drinks. We had to before the next table arrives, but it took them so long to print the damn bill, we wasted another half hour sorting it out! We asked that we just get another bill printed so we can speed it up and was refused and rudely reprimanded. Shocking. We where then called back, because we didn't pay a drinks bill (another one, which was seperate, but not presented to us at time of paying). We explained this and that started a huge argument with "bouncer / manager". Never again man. The food wasn't even that great! Overcooked, cheap meats, rude waiters running back and fro, nobody explaining how we should order / how the system works. Restaurant was loud and chaotic and not a very nice ambience. Just rubbish and totally over priced for what you get. Give it a wide berth.”

Loved

"Absolutely love this secret gem! Only thing was that the service at the bar was pretty lousy because they only had one barman. Could do with one waiter at least taking food orders from tables to lower..." Which venue is this?

Hated
