    Burger rather disappointing would have preferred sliced tomato and lettuce rather than the chopped rather watery stuff underneath the burger.

    We went to the soft opening of the branch of Bluebird. I didn’t feel it was an improvement on the previous restaurant. Mainly the menu is not very big. The food was fine but not very different from before. The staff were obviously new but it was a soft opening. I wonder what happened to the previous staff who were good

    Ran out of bread for breakfast, had to settle down with a “healthy” piece of white toast for my English Breakfast. Obviously could not order Avocado on Sourdough bread. So no wholegrain toast, no sourdough. There is an M&S literally 100 meters from the restaurant, can easily be sorted. Parts of the order were forgotten (ice, lemon, some condiments, the side sausages, no salt, no pepper on the table), had almost a buffet / cantina-like experience. Been doing business breakfast meetings at this place for a long time, switching over to Bread Street Kitchen just opposite (although it gets louder there). Too many balls dropped recently. Not impressed (not to say disappointed).

    Nobody else in the restaurant but still took 20 mins to serve a drink. Charged £5 for nuts and added service and a charity donation. We decided not to eat as we didn’t feel that the quality would be good. £42 for 3 drinks in an average bar even though in the city is too expensive

    Really disappointing food today. Burger was really underdone, and chips weren’t cooked through. Service was friendly but very slow.
