    Food was excellent but the service was poor. While our waiters were kind and polite (and despite loads of staff with only a few tables busy) the service overall was very slow and felt awkward as there was barely any conversation.

    Images online show you some vibe. But was so empty and so sad place that plan to do afternoon tea change to regular menu. Disappointed!

    We love this restaurant! First discovered it in 2016. We came back on March 31,2025 and we had to return April 4, 2025. Servers Yulian and Mahesh were amazing. Stay after for a night cap in the bar! Great food, great service in a casual atmosphere. They also play great music! We will probably go back a third time before our departure!

    Went for the Sunday roast from the online menu. Arrived and there wasn’t any! Ordered traditional onion soup which was a bit watery. Had lamb cutlets and ordered it pink. It was served medium to well done! Had the Eton mess for dessert and it wasn’t like any Eton Mess I had ever seen. Generally the food was no better than average but we went to meet old friends who we hadn’t seen for a while and on this occasion, the food wasn’t as important ….. fortunately!

    Both good food and good service. Saw both a number of large groups as well as singles eating there. Nice atmosphere. I would not hesitate to go back there for dinner again.
