    We’ve eaten there before and it was great. Made a booking on OpenTable. All confirmed. When we rocked up it was shut. So black marks to both Double Dragon and OpenTable.

    Unfortunately empty when we arrived at 13.00 for Saturday brunch. Service was informal and friendly, cocktails good, and when it starting arriving the food was excellent.

    The food is imaginative and unusual. This is my second visit and some of the same dishes were slightly different the second time. Some of them were really excellent. The room is colourful and bright.Even though the music is too loud the atmosphere is lighthearted. The experienced waiter brought our dishes at good intervals . The less experienced one had a tendency to ask one to order repeatedly.I had a cocktail as I was waiting for someone but might not do do again. At 3 sharing dishes per person plus wine it is not a restaurant cheap enough to use as a local one I think. I will eat there again.

    Phenomenal food - amble portion size and the price point is bang on. So many vegan and vegetarian options. Sake also reasonably priced. Strike day meant the restaurant was very quiet but the service was first rate - attentive and suggestive without being pushy. We will be back very very soon.

    We had the brunch menu with 3 rounds of amazing dishes and the last round was a slice of birthday cake which incredible. I would highly recommended this place - perfect for a catch-up with good food and drinks.

    The service was great and the food ideas should have been 5 star however the freshness of the crab and scallop were borderline and too many dishes ended up with a distinct coating of oil from the grill which ended dominating the taste of everything.

    We happened to come across this by chance and decided to try it. This is definitely going to be our new go-to for food! Whilst the inside looked really nice too, we sat outside in one of the booths and it was perfect. The food was excellently presented and exquisite in taste and texture. Every single dish was a new experience and of such a high quality! They suggested 2 - 3 tapas portions per person which seemed just about right. We also had a dairy and gluten free person with us and they could accommodate and amend slightly (sauces on the side etc) so it worked for her too - so appreciated! The staff were attentive, friendly and very helpful. The selfish person in me hopes not too many people discover this place cause I want to be able to get a table each time I want to, but on the other hand - you need to try this! You won't be disappointed!

    The food was great. Soft shell crab, perfectly cooked beef, triple cooked chips. The service was a bit chaotic, and whilst we didn't mind the small plates coming out whenever ready, the first dish arrived before our cocktails - it would have been nicer to enjoy them for a bit before the food came. It's expensive but the food tasted excellent.

    Second time at Double Dragon. Food was out standing again…however £15 for some of the cocktails means I have to give a lower score.

    Great food, some outstanding flavours! Staff made us feel special as it was our anniversary. Several staff members passed on their congratulations to us. Only suggestion would be to explain how the menu works. We soon worked out it was like a tapas/meze style. Really good food!

    Small but tasty menu. As always ordering small plates can get expensive particularly when ordering fish. Highlights were the cabbage, aubergine and pork buns. Would recommend.
