    Food and afternoon itself was lovely. Service was particularly slow. Took 25 minutes from coming for drinks orders to be taken. Took another 20 minutes for the drinks. Staff were unsure of what drinks were included. The table itself was small and probably would have been better if we were sat at a booth. They forgot the occasion of my mums birthday which was put in the booking and called through beforehand. The waiters didn’t actively clear the table of drinks to allow space for some more. Overall lovely afternoon tea but bad vibe. Probably wouldn’t go again.

    I had intended to book the restaurant next door: The Ivy Asia. But I accidentally booked this place. Fantastic! So glad I did. They do a very good Bang Bang Chicken starter at The Ivy motherhouse in London but the Bang Bang Chicken skewers I had here were even better. We dined at the counter and had the most excellent service, fantastic food, and splendid wines and cocktails. The music was a bit weird but, otherwise, great night.

    Decor upmarket. Good atmosphere. Waiter was lovely but we didn’t appreciate being told by his supervisor that we had to hurry up as our table was needed in 15 minutes when it was less than 50 minutes since our booking began. Food was mixed - fish and chips excellent but the starters nothing to write home about.

    Always a good meal and not as expensive as you might think. I don’t mind paying for quality.

    We arrived in the pouring rain, with a buggy, soaked through, there were four people at the reception desk and not one person opened the door for us, they all watched whilst we struggled. I was pretty gobsmacked by that tbh. Service at the table was great, food was delicious but pretty expensive for what it is.
