Atmosphere and Decor

Pros:

  • "The decor is absolutely stunning too and is made even more perfect in the summer."
  • "A beautiful looking place and lovely atmosphere. A great day catching up with friends, drink flowing and wonderful service."
  • "Magical place with impeccable aesthetic - from the staff's uniforms to the menu's illustrations."
  • "Really nice place to have cocktails. Great decor, delicious drinks, lots of vegan options, very good service."
  • "This is one of a collection of bars under the theme of The Mr Fogg who travelled around the world in 80 days as written in the books. The decor is spectacular and on point."
  • "The interior is aesthetic and dreamy and the whole place smells floral and delicious."
  • "The place looks very nice and every detail is matching the botanical theme."
  • "Beautifully themed and decorated bar, it feels like you're in a unique and foreign club house rather than central London."

Cons:

  • "Was seated promptly and then completely ignored while I watched people get served who came in after me."
  • "Really nice bar, let down by poor service by both those at the bar (more concerned about looking at their phones rather than making drinks), and slow service from the waitress."
  • "A Quirky yet beautiful botanical themed bar with unique cocktail options and an instagramable venue. Highly recommended for the big spenders!! Not suitable for people who wants to pay around Β£-££."
  • "On to the drinks, these were very reasonably priced and there was an unusual range of cocktails. All the ones we tried were ok if a little bland at times."
  • "The music was quite loud too, which kind of ruined the atmosphere."
  • "Only thing that made me drop it a star is the menu itself. For these prices, I expect the drinks, or at least the place, to have more story to them."
  • "The ambiance was cozy still vibrant. Place was full of flower power."
  • "The bar manager was very rude with me and my girlfriend. We asked for a table and he ignored us first and the second time he told us aggressively to leave because he had no tables."

Service

Pros:

  • "My waitress Olivia made it even better by providing warm guest service :D She was super friendly and accommodating to my needs."
  • "Everyone was super attentive and the atmosphere was gorgeous! Would highly recommend."
  • "Great place for some very good and unique cocktails. Has a great atmosphere and is a great place whether you're going for a quiet drink with a partner or as a group. Service is quick and the cocktails were very nice."
  • "The staff were fantastic, nothing is too much trouble, very attentive without being fussy."
  • "Super cute πŸ₯° Amazing setting and insane cocktails. The service was impeccable and the price fair."
  • "The service was genuinely friendly throughout."
  • "Lovely surroundings, and the cocktail ingredients seem to be thoughtful."
  • "The staff felt like friends, so accommodating and friendly."

Cons:

  • "We were looking really forward to having some Xmas drinks as a group of 4. We got told at the door that we only have our table for 1.5 hours which we were not informed about when booking."
  • "I had been here a couple of times by myself and decided to pop in with my wife for a drink after dinner. Well crafted drinks and good service. Β£52 for 3 cocktails including service charge was fair."
  • "However, we thought the cocktails were a bit on the small side especially for Β£13 and Β£14, and the minimum spend which we did get too, was unnecessary."
  • "They literally treated her like a queen πŸ‘‘. Extremely friendly staff and the tea selection was rather nice. The chairs were a bit uncomfortable for me and the place was slightly over crowded."
  • "Waited 30 minutes and no drinks for our table arrived, and others who came after us were served before we were."
  • "Slow service, wasn't provided with coasters like every other table was on arrival."
  • "The waitress said insincerely that she will check but to no surprise never got back to us."
  • "I was really hoping to enjoy this place but a few things kept it from being great. There was 6 of us and it was cramped. We couldn't sit properly and the seating wasn't very supportive."

Cocktails and Drinks

Pros:

  • "The espresso martini was divine and their Kiraz cocktail was delicious."
  • "I got the strawberry thief and it was absolutely delicious. These are lethal little buggers that’ll get you because of how muted the flavor of the vodka is."
  • "As a person who doesn't drink at all, I was absolutely delighted by the flower-themed cocktails."
  • "Great Mr Fogg's location in Fitzrovia. The drinks were excellent, highly recommend their seasonal drinks on offer for the summer."
  • "The gin selection isn’t as large as at Mr Fogg’s Tavern and Gin Palace near Leicester Square, but it’s still decent."
  • "Had a wonderful time with attentive staff and friendly service. The cocktails were great."
  • "The staff were fantastic, nothing is too much trouble, very attentive without being fussy. One of the best cocktail menu's around."
  • "Super cute πŸ₯° Amazing setting and insane cocktails. The service was impeccable and the price fair."

Cons:

  • "We both ordered gin cocktails from the menu, which were unfortunately too sweet for both our tastes."
  • "I did still enjoy the one I had, but wasn't inclined to try another."
  • "The cocktails did take quite a while to make."
  • "Cocktails are lovely but not cheap."
  • "The cocktails have original names and a long and complicated list of ingredients, but they taste like normal cocktails."
  • "The drinks were already pricey on the menu (Β£9.50 -12) but then a Β£1.38 service charge was added to every single drink."
  • "Expensive for low quality drinks."
  • "The cocktails were not worth the money and tasted like medicine...but nice spot for a few insta pics!"
