   This was not as good as I hoped. The staff was unfriendly, the food was party but not worth mentioning and the acoustic’s are so bad that it’s hard to hear the person you’re with speak. Not the best experience.

   The menu looked great but 4 out of our 5 meals came out with issues. The coffees took a while and one of our mochas was pretty poor. It was corrected and the staff were really nice but it wasn’t a great experience unfortunately.

   Very slow service and lukewarm food. Disappointing. Overall felt our presence was an imposition on the staff rather than being welcomed. This was my second visit and very much worse than the first.

   Was expecting better for the price. Mushroom chewy.

   Me & my girlfriend ate here following our theatre trip. The place was lovely & we both had the halloumi & king prawns to start followed by the lamb. The food was delicious & the staff extremely friendly & professional. We would definitely eat here again the next time we visit London.
