We were looking forward to eating here before visiting the Royal Albert Hall and were sadly disappointed. The place was a bit tired; stained chairs are never a good look. Though the service and food was ok/good definitely nothing spectacular. EXTREMELY small portions and very cheeky pricing - not worth it or good value at all. Soft drinks are served in 200ml bottles and they charge £4 for a coke and £5 for a lemonade. The whole experience left a bad taste and me, my husband and daughter left hungry - won’t be back.

Decent service but food wasn’t restaurant quality, more like a bistro type place with average food at best.
