Nice decor and good atmosphere, expensive considering portion sizes. Some dishes were nice, some lacking, for example, steak with chimichurri was disappointing.

Food, wine, place, waiter service all very good. But what really annoyed me was being told the coffee machine was closed . This was at 920pm at the end of my meal. Basically because the person behind the bar was too lazy to make it. Put a bad touch on an otherwise lovely experience.

Very cool place. Great mix of people. Service was good. Food was tasty. Enjoyed it. (Though they do start to move you out floor by floor quite “assertively “ from 11.30pm. )

The food was overall really good, and the service was excellent. The restaurant was busy and bustling on a Saturday night, but we were well looked after. I'd definitely recommend Drury Buildings as a date spot or for a group of friends.

Food was super but would have liked to have had the food brought out in a staggered way as all dishes arrived at once and so the meal felt rushed. That said food was excellent and service very attentive.
