Food was great. Duck agnolotti a little dry but the roasting juices sorted that out. Sabayon was banging! Gruner Veltliner was also delicious. 10/10. Will dine again.

Staff are all friendly, knowledgeable and unpretentious. Food was delicious, as was the wine. A buzzy, lively atmosphere. Not cheap, but when it’s all done so well I won’t begrudge them that.

The pasta and beef dish were delicious but rather cold. Serving food while it’s hot is something you need to deal with. It was too loud that our throats hurt after the meal.

Why disco music? Why this loud? Why can't so many restaurants just have the confidence to rely on the food and drink menu alone and let the audience make the atmosphere. Amazing food tho !

Service was fine and food was okay. Not a huge variety of items on the menu. They do not serve custom cocktails and had a limited drinks menu.

Had a super meal here. Tasted some great and harder to find wines Vin Jaune and a grappa from Gravner and thoroughly enjoyed to food - the pillows of pastry and pancetta were both novel and delicious.

I had to cancel my reservation. I rang the restaurant very early in the day hours before I was due to arrive. I apologized and explained I could no longer make it, yet they still charged me £100! I am devastated! It's a huge amount my money! I will NEVER go to this restaurant and I will actively tell my friends and family to NEVER go either.

Lovely evening. It's tricky to find, set back next to the Market Place. Dogs allowed in the front. Delicious creative food, really nice staff. Sat and the bar and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Might be a bit noisy at the tables for those that struggle to hear in loud restaurants but for two at the bar it was perfect.

A typical gentrified Hackney triumph of style of over substance. The service was patchy and indifferent (we ordered 1 oyster, were brought they forgot another dish completely were sat towards the back & had to physically stand up and literally wave down a member of wait staff to ask for every single thing - a 2nd G&T ordered took 20 mins to order and another 20 to arrive, meaning by the time it came we were finished & I was stuck slugging it down while my mate waited amid empty plates. Fish dishes were good. The rest were overpriced & underwhelming. Great, stylish place for drinks maybe (though they don’t do cocktails) and a tiny plate or 2 I suppose? But seriously, we arrived on the pavement outside £100 later and headed to the newsagents for chocolate bars rather than attempt a dessert. Swing and a miss.

Very good food in a casual atmosphere. All dishes were meant to be sharing plates, however, some dishes are a little bit more tricky to share. A winter garden-type seating area is added in the front. This does mean that it feels a little crafty when seated indoors as the door between main restaurant and extension is kept opened all the time.

We have arrived at the venue a few minutes before our reservation and got sat outside for a premeal drink. We have been seated at our table 15 minutes after our initial reservation time and some of the dishes were gone by then, which happened due to a slow service. After that, everything ended up being fine, the meal was great, definitely the best main courses, however, some of the starters were a bit disappointing, like the dried meat, that was cut uneven and in every thick pieces. The fish dishes were 100% best fish dishes we've ever tried in London, with some extra applause to the monkfish.

The service was great, but honestly the food wasn't brilliant. The first glass of riesling wasn't really cold and the food was fine, but I thought it would be quite a lot better with all the great reviews.
