Service was verging on too attentive, but it was great overall.

Empty this morning, lots of staff but service is still painfully slow. This isn’t a student’s union - employing lovely young people is great but how about training them?
And why does it take SOOOOOO long to get a coffee?

Group of 7 of us booked for early dinner before seeing Hamilton. Really interesting and varied menu with good veggie and vegan options. Lovely food, great wine & delicious coffee. We didn't have room for dessert unfortunately but it was tempting!
All the staff were really nice and helpful. The building and ambience is also great - couldn't fault anything!

Thanks for a great meal :)

Noisy. Staff are nice. Food ok. I was with my mother so I was probably more sensitive to the noise than otherwise. Toast could have been toasted more and crispy bacon could have been a lot crisper! We sent back and staff were very helpful about it.

Interesting dishes on offer and decent wine list. We were three on a table for four, by the window. This was great, but the 2-seater tables were very tightly packed together

I really like the RHC, always good food. Table wasn’t great - we were tucked round the back, disappointingly, so hard to attract anyone’s attention but service was good and food excellent.

Once you know where to find businesses in the Nova building you are home and dry. We have been to two locations and struggled each time. Good restaurant with lovely staff and interesting menu however. Very handy for Victoria Palace. Would recommend.

Delicious food in a lively setting, very near Victoria station which makes it convenient.

The food is average, expected a bit better for the price. I used to go to its sister restaurant (the riding house cafe) which was always very good so expected more. The place is nicely done out and service was very good.

Birthday pre theatre

Lovely food and very helpful staff. Very large dining area.

Food was great but they needed the table back after 40 minutes and gave us the bill while we were still eating.

it's a convenient place to enjoy breakfast with colleagues

Great food and Great service. It's very busy but that just adds to the lively atmosphere.

Lovely place for brunch, lunch or supper - ticks all boxes!

Interesting food presented well. I am more familiar with the morning menu so this was a different experience. Still a very buzzing venue and a wide mix of people eating.

Had a nice time. Food was great. A bit expensive but a check of the menu ahead of time prepared us for this

We visited for weekend brunch and as on previous visits found the service to be impeccable - friendly, efficient and professional. The brunch menu was full of delicious options offering a wide variety of dishes to suit everyone whether vegetarian, vegan or carnivorous!! It's always nice to be offered glasses of water without having to ask too and the manager had his eye on everything happening including the situation of preventing our bill being paid twice by two different guests!

The food was disappointing. The person taking our food order did not speak English very well and when the food arrived there were several mistakes. Makes no sense in a city where English is the first language. Would not go back.

Have been here before for evening meal and had good experience. Booked for brunch with visitors, disappointing visit due to service. Our server was quite flippant and dismissive when taking our order and when it was requested to change the order. This was subsequently put through wrong on the system and we had wrong dishes brought to our table. Once rectified, food was enjoyable but just feel like the one server let it down (she also added up our bill wrong!). The other 2 team members who brought our food were very approachable.

Great service, great food, great atmosphere - lovely evening

Amazing food - highly recommended on that front. Slightly strange table under the staircase which was noisy and a little unwelcoming but service good and facilities otherwise great.

Good food with a lot of interesting vegetarian options and a decent wine list.
Bar upstairs is great for pre-dinner drinks.
Fun atmosphere for a get together with mates

Theme of entire breakfast was cold. Restaurant was cold unless you were right under the air con unit. Toast was cold (and sourdough appeared instead of granary), three cold coffees and lukewarm kedgeree. Service was chilly too. Need to warm up all round.

We had a meal prior to the theatre and it was excellent. The menu is very varied and all the dishes were superb. The service was most impressive too.

Lovely starter and dessert, but the mains were underwhelming and quite bland. The service was very good, and the decor full of character, but overall, slightly disappointing.

Vibrant atmosphere. Relaxed. Great food and good service.

Lovely food and atmosphere, very casual didn’t feel rushed it was lovely

The table do not all have the same quality and decoration. I recommend to visit the restaurant and choose your table before coming. The bar has very limited room , not granted to have a drink before the diner. Decoration is nice which saves the place!

I think your experience depends on part on the table you get.
Despite booking well in advance, we we were initially fobbed off with crappy table tucked away in a dead zone at the back, entirely out of view of the restaurant but en route to the toilets. We asked to move and got given a table in the drinks area which was so low it was really for drinks not dinner.
The chicken burger I ordered had clearly been cooked well in advance and just re-heated, because you could have broken bricks on the buttermilk batter. The bread roll and tahini butter was comedically priced at £3.50, and if the butter had any relationship to tahini it was at very best the culinary equivalent of a brief shag in the restaurant toilets. Dreadful.
Overpriced and under delivered.
Never again.

Very convenient being around the corner from the theatre. My parents however didn't receive a nice response on the phone after unforeseen circumstances meant that they would be arriving later than scheduled. The lady they spoke to was rather rude and abrupt and had it not been such a tight schedule before the show they were due to see, my parents would have gone elsewhere. Having said that, much to their relief, upon their arrival the welcome was much warmer than expected but still, unforgivable that someone speak to a customer like that. Even more so when they are pensioners coming to London from Hertfordshire for a special occasion!

solid pre-Hamilton dining, broad menu to accommodate a large and varied group

The environment was great with lots of quirky design features in keeping with a railway station. I had high hopes of the menu before I arrived as it seemed quite different to other places I've been with various 'bowls' and the ability to mix and match with different skewers. However the execution wasn't quite so good. I had a small beetroot salad bowl which was very nice but only a third full. Of the 3 skewers I ordered the ginger chicken thighs were very good but the leek one was undercooked and therefore very chewy and strongly flavoured rather than the sweetness one expects with nicely cooked leeks. The broccoli skewer had a cold mayonnaise sauce on which rather detracted from the braised brocolli underneath and overwhelmed the flavour. The bread plates were ok - we ordered one of each sort in our party although looking at the menu again I'm not sure thats what we got. Other meal choices included belly pork, burger - both chicken(sandwhich la Sandwich) and applewood cheeseburger, mac'ncheese and cardamon and coconut dhal all of which were enjoyed.
I think this place could be really good and the food sounds great but some of it needs a bit of tweaking.

Really disappointed! The shakshuka was so oily and gross, the halloumi on the veggie breakfast hadn’t been cooked properly, so it was cold and rubbery, the toast was soggy and potatoes undercooked. We asked to swap the fried egg for a poached egg and we were told they couldn’t do it - something to do with the fact that the different kinds of eggs were made in different parts of the kitchen?! The service was ok but felt like we were being rushed the whole way through. The manager came and took the meals off the bill which was nice of him, but we wouldn’t return.

Had a nice evening with a friend. Ambience, service and drinks were good but I did find the food a little disappointing. I had the cheeseburger which I order medium well but when it came the burger was very dry. Shame as ambience and everything else was very good but when you go out for dinner you are really going for good food.

Came for a business lunch. Asked for a table in a quieter area out of the way as it was a business lunch. Was sat in the middle of the room in a complete cacophony and couldn't hear a word. The food was ok not great and the table was cramped. Won't be booking to entertain clients here again.

The portions are very small, especially for how much you are paying. Not only the food portions, but also the wine sizes. The ambience is great and the food is tasty.

I chose this restaurant for its location as it is close to my office and I was organizing a team breakfast meeting. Food, service and ambiance was very good. The full English breakfast was delicious and plentiful. I will definitely visit again and I will organize further breakfast meetings here.

Service wasn't great, especially after waiter spilt my glass of water in my lap. Could have offered to take off our dessert, or something!

Excellent service, delicious food and great surroundings. Handy for Victoria Station too.
