Went for drinks only. It’s a really nice place to enjoys the great variety of wine that this establishment offers. The service however was not great. Waiting staff were not at all attentive. It was an effort to get their attention when ordering another glass. I would expect better service when paying £15 per glass and probably won’t return for this reason.

Dreadful experience! The waiter poured wine all over my husband and then dropped plates and cutlery. We had to remind them about our drinks orders twice in order to actually receive our wine. This place has really gone downhill I’m afraid to say.

We were almost completely ignored throughout the meal by the waiters and waitresses. Whenever I wanted more drinks for my table I had to go to the bar. Why can’t the servers habitually (say every 5-10 mins) simply ask a table if they would like any more drinks, etc? Seems so simple but it makes a big difference.

I tried the restaurant week set menu which was very nice. The small plates that I tried were very delicious, especially the Aran coni and pesto. The wines were also very good and well paired with the dishes. The service was also very good.

Great place with great wines. Mondays mean you can buy wines at retail / take home price which is worthwhile - tried a lovely rose Cremant from the Alsace. They have such lovely selection of wine that you don’t see in other places. Refreshing!

Very solid and enjoyable after work wine bar to catch up with an old mate. Some elements of the service require a bit of polish but manager explained they had a number of new staff who were still training. An easy and fun evening. Job done.

The lights dimmed as soon as we got there, 5:30/6pm, a little early to enjoy after work drinks. It changed the ambience and made everyone feel tired and not wanting to stay long. But overall the food was great, the artichoke dish was outstanding, love it!

Arrived for a 19:30 dinner - and it is a nice venue/ambience, with an interesting decor and felt modern and relaxed. Staff on hand to ask for our food and drinks order promptly, and there the staff interaction ended until we asked for the bill at 21:20, other than a perfunctory clearing of plates, despite finishing both food and finishing a bottle of wine there was no check in or offer of anything else, despite us indicating we would like cheese when placing the initial order. Friday night, though there were plenty of empty tables throughout the night - a disappointing date night, and not likely to join the Humble Club.

The door is tucked away and can be challenging to find (hint: look at the far side of St Brides, under the Bridewell Centre, where Bride's lane takes the corner), but once you're inside the atmosphere and staff are instantly welcoming. Lots of food choices, lots of wine choices. The restaurant was busy the Wednesday night we were there, but we never felt rushed or crowded.

Good relaxed environment with friendly staff but best of all a great selection of wines by the glass and if those really does not do it for you, then a wine shop from which too choose a bottle. Enjoyed the food and looking forward to the sharing boards next time.

Probably the worse wine i have done in term of food - rillettes has no taste, dry meat either… camembert was plain, like if it was from waitrose. Wine was good. Overall i would not go back for the food, only the wine. Ambiance was good - not too quiet or loud
