    First time at Happy after seeing it online and not disappointed at all. Was very busy so initial order being taken was slightly longer than would expect but after that server was attentive and we had everything we asked for. Food was really tasty and very generous portions. Had a cocktail (Happy Golden) which was lovely too. Carbonara is a must!!!! Overall really glad we went and will definitely be returning

    I came to Mildred’s Covent Garden on the 14th Dec to celebrate my birthday (22nd) with my friend - it was her first ever visit, even though I’ve been dozens of times! I know I can always count on great service and delicious food at any branch of Mildred’s and today was no exception; my friend who is usually a fussy eater said how much she enjoyed it and we had a wonderful time. It was super busy because it’s nearly Christmas, but the team did a great job of keeping on top of everything and still delivering the fantastic Mildred’s service I’ve come to expect. There was a table besides us who complained and treated the staff unkindly but Kate and Iza did a wonderful job of keeping level heads and offering this customer lots of solutions to their concerns. When they realised it was a birthday meal for me, I was brought dessert with a candle in it - free of charge. I can’t praise this team highly enough and I’ll definitely visit again (next weekend in fact lol)
