Mem & Laz

This is a terrible place to eat. The food is over priced for what it is- ie substandard mediterranean food- and the service is awful. The staff are constantly asking you if you want more drinks. Furthermore the extension that they have built is completely dodgy. The loo sits right opposite the serving hatch- how hygienic!!!

This is one of the worst restaurants that we have ever dined at. The service was poor and the food was served lukewarm at best and had a horrible taste. The tables were so close together we could overhear everything being said by the diners to my right and left. When we complained to the owner, he didn't do anything to resolve the situation. Never stepping foot in this place again.

As a couple, we went out for a nice meal to celebrate... From start, we were pestered by waiters with their sales tactics to get us to order extra or side dishes before starter. And when we eventually ordered, we ordered only main and no starter he didn't look pleased. After our main course, we were asked if we could move to a smaller table because there was a bigger group that they wanted to accommodate. Charming!! We thought ok, not to be selfish. but it happened that they tricked us to move because they were not setting table for a group but a few couples (maybe regulars) and one couple that didn't want the small table by the bar (the one we got). Whilst we were at that table, waiters were going by with hot plates over our head and we weren't happy then. We complained to manager that the waiters first lied to us and then put us in an uncomfortable and hazardous place. All he came up with was 'I’m sorry and if you are not happy we cannot do anything for you and we have other customers to attend'. We were shocked and said that if he didn't need our custom then we will not come to nor recommend this place. He comes out with 'this is your decision we have our customers and it is fine if you do not want to come here again'. All that in a packed full restaurant! Would you go there?

I discovered mem and laz some years ago and have been a regular ever since. The food is great and good value for money and there is something on the menu to suit everyone. The staff are very friendly and everyone I have ever bought to the restaurant have now also made it one of their regular haunts
