   First class welcome from front of house young man. Excellent food. White wine not cold enough- needed an ice cube Waitress happy and pleasant and efficient Weeds on front steps create a ‘not cared for’ impression on entry. On exit the corner steps need a good jet wash to get rid of deposits. These small points which are easily attended to take away from the classical and beautifully refurbished interior.

   Huge thanks to Pasquale, Hannah, Seb, and Carol for the outstanding service and for making my husbands birthday such a special occasion. The service made us feel valued from calls to arrange the booking, to going above and beyond on the day The food was fantastic, plenty of options to choose from and our friends particularly raved about the bottomless brunch option. Fantastic value and never had to ask for a refill as the attentive staff were on hand throughout our meal, ensuring our needs were met. I love the quality and variety of premium drinks on offer and the decor and ambience is spot on Great team, excellent quality and we can't wait to return Many thanks

   Great service and standout drinks Service was excellent—friendly, well-paced, and knowledgeable, especially when it came to drinks. The space is low-lit and stylish, perfect for a semi-formal dinner. All food arrived hot and well presented. 8/10 Highlights: the tomato tart tatin was well cooked with crisp pastry and a balanced glaze. The cauliflower steak was tasty, but portion size felt small for the price. Roasted carrots were nicely spiced, though could’ve used a touch more salt or acidity. 6/10 The focaccia was grilled and smoky, but had more of a fried bread texture—served with rapeseed oil and a loose balsamic, which was different, but didn’t quite work. Portion size was very small. 5/10 Cocktails were a real strength. I had the Oaxacan Old Fashioned and a house Old Fashioned—both perfectly balanced. My partner ordered the Twinkle and really enjoyed it. 8.5/10 We’d come again for the great service and excellent drinks - the food, however, could be a little punchier and more generous with portion sizing.

   Everything was good apart from the service. For some reason the staff seemed to ignore us. Wine ordered had been forgotten about apart from starter the main and desert was way too long in serving. To be fair to the staff they took on board our complaint and were very good at response

   Fantastic staff and atmosphere. Went around 9pm and it was extremely quiet (customer wise) so was a little hesitant on arrival but was extremely pleased with the food and staff at this establishment. We had the cote de boeuf with two sides to go with it and it was delicious!

   Top venue & service . We even spoke with the manager who was present talking to guest customers most of the evening … a nice touch o thought Thank you ☺️ I would only say that the cauliflower steak lacked any substance and although came with fries , it could have been presented better
