I had booked a table at this restaurant as a birthday treat for my husband, planning to have a lovely family meal with our sons. When we arrived, the staff were having a meeting and had no record of our reservation through the OpenTable system. This was extremely disappointing and I will never recommend this restaurant again.

Although we tried another restaurant this time, the experience was just as fantastic. Carluccio's truly serves the best eggs Benedict I have ever tasted. I can no longer enjoy eggs Benedict in Canada because it just doesn't compare. Their beans are also delicious! The Earl Grey tea they offer is unique and unlike any others I have tried - I wish they sold it because I have not been able to find anything similar in stores. The servers are friendly and it's great to browse their selection of gifts and snacks after our meal. I recently tried their cocoa meringue and it was absolutely delightful. A meal at Carluccio's has become a staple of every trip to Britain for us.

Despite its somewhat upscale atmosphere, the restaurant was still accommodating to families with young children. In addition to the friendly service, the food was exceptionally tasty.
