Fantastic ambiance service and food As with everything today prices are reflecting the times If the price point was just a tad lower this definitely would get me to rate it higher than 4 But all in all probably will be going back to try some other menu items

We really wanted to love this spot since we are local! We used to love the breakfast place that was in this spot. The food was not good. The fish tacos had a very strong taste and my husband's burger was so smothered in sauce it was dripping all over his hands and plate and made it difficult to eat. None of the food was worth the prices. The ambience in the restaurant was nice but the live music was too loud and made it difficult for us to hear each other. Overall, really wanted to love this place to support local but the food was not good so we will not be back.

Second visit in past two months. Both times really enjoyed the food. Service exceptionally good. Menu is a bunch of very interesting takes on “classics” with an emphasis on local producers. We will continue to dine here when back visiting in London. Anyone who is close to this place should not hesitate to give it a try

First time coming here and none of us have any desire to go back. - The asparagus (which was only 1 of 3 items on my plate) was inedible. Not sure why it would have even made it to the plate. Most of it was completely black (and limp) and the couple pieces I attempted to eat because I could still see some green, tasted burnt. Very disappointing. - Food was overpriced and some portion sizes very small. - waitress was not very friendly
