    Great breakfast on a very busy weekday morning. Loads of people from families to ladies who brunch to business. Food well presented and no dent in the service despite the buzz.

    Lovely staff, nice atmosphere, great table at the window watching the world go by. A fairly limited menu but overall we enjoyed our meal, we were hungry! Fish tacos fairly bland, batter on fish was heavy & overcooked! Halloumi fries were fabulous!
    The HuxleyResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for your 4-star review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed our lovely staff, the atmosphere, and your window table with its great view. We appreciate your honest feedback about the fish tacos. We take all feedback seriously and will certainly pass your comments on to our kitchen team for review and improvement. We understand our menu is fairly limited, and we're glad you found something you enjoyed. We hope you'll consider visiting us again, and perhaps try some other dishes on your next visit. We aim to provide a consistently enjoyable experience, and your feedback helps us achieve that. Thank you again for your visit! Best, The Huxley
