We decided as a family to eat at Jamie's Italian for our Father's Day meal. I ordered a cured meat platter for antipasti and it was very well presented and the contrasting flavours were out of this world. The main was also very very good. The service was great, although you would have to know a lot about Italian food... More

What is the fascination with this place ? The food is not great and you pay more just because of a famous name whose food recipes we enjoy. The cost of the food is very high compared to nice restaurants of a similar nature in Woburn (about 10 miles away). Sorry but I like to pay for good food and... More

This is the third Jamie's I have used and I can't understand why people have left critical reviews. The food is always excellent and superb value for money. The service I have to say is one of the chains best attributes, always a smile and always ready to offer advice and help. This one isn't perhaps I'm the best location... More

Out shopping with my daughter in Milton Keynes - booked a table, shopped some more, then lunch without the crowds. Friendly staff, very cheerful and helpful. Good choice with seasonal specials.

Had lunch with a friend here today. Though it's in the main shopping centre, it was deserted at lunchtime which maybe should tell them something. We were the only people in there for a while, so the atmosphere was lacking and, yet, we could hardly hear ourselves above the music. Our waitress reeled off the specials so fast that neither...

We went to Jamie's in Milton Keynes as we both had always wanted to go. We arrived at about 12pm on a Monday, we were seated immediately, however no-one came to take an order after 20mins, not even our drinks order. I could understand if the restaurant was busy, but there was only about 4 tables occupied. Due to lack... More

We called in for lunch, and I was dubious after hearing very mixed reviews from my friends. Having been there I would certainly go back. I found the staff were friendly and the restaurant atmosphere was relaxed, even though it was busy. We did have to wait 20min for a table, but that wasn't a problem (it was a busy... More

Very disappointed with the portion/cost ratio at Jamie's Italian in Milton Keynes. It's probably the first time I've walked out of a restaurant still hungry. Many of the main courses are priced at two sizes - no indication that means you get a starter portion; simply a lighter lunchtime option. I had Black Angel Spaghetti - which was simply spaghetti...

Yet another fab meal at Jamie's in Milton Keynes. Great food is always served by excellent staff who tailor their approach depending on who is dining. I recently visited with my husband, a 2-year old and a 14 year old and our waiter was amazing with my little girl. We all enjoyed the food that we had and the atmosphere... More

Have eaten here a few times and it has always been an enjoyable experience. Food has always been excellent and they always have some good and interesting specials. Staff very friendly and attentive but not intrusive. No paper napkins there, all fabric ones, which is unusual but nice nowadays. We took two of our 11 year old granddaughters with us... More
