   Lovely space. Great food and service. The fireplaces are so cozy on a chilly winter night. The music gives just the right vibe.

   It was a bit embarrassing as I preordered the lunch special at £15 a head to be told they were not doing it that day so I spend significantly more which is really not cool.

   Very average overpriced food. Started with a really poor margarita with no garnish served in a tumbler for £16. Ordered the burrata which came with a mountain of endive salad plonked on plate with no finesse. Chicken main course was overcooked and tough. Ordered a nice £70 wine which was served almost to the brim by someone who clearly had no idea how to serve wine. They forgot one of our sides which came when we had almost finished our main course. Almost empty restaurant meant there was very little ambience. So disappointed. Way too many good alternatives in the area to risk going here again.

   Great location just across St Pancras station if you take Euston Road. Very nice cosy ambiance, cocktail are good, food is okay but nothing extraordinary for the price.

   Few choices on the menu. My cod was banal and the presentation in the plate was underwhelming. The donuts were dry and hard and I was given just a spoon to eat them, which was useless. I had to ask for a fork, which should have been there from the beginning, possibly with a knife too.

   Varied menu, plant based options good, lighting bit low to read menu. Make sure bill is correct, extra side orders were logged erroneously on ours.

   Lovely venue with amazing ambiance for both dates and work. The staff were extremely helpful, attentive and kind. They really made it a pleasurable experience and each staff member I encountered made me feel welcomed. The food is also really nice with a wonderful drink selection.

   Food was nice and the service was ok and limited menu. But very pricey wouldn't go back

    The food was ok! We were the only ones in the restaurant at 5:30pm and yet our food took nearly an hour. The cucumber salad was a bowl of cut up cucumber - nothing more! I had to request dressing. We were also served cold chicken! Place is beautiful but the food was not worth the price! Grab a burger from the standard next door instead!
