• "Portion sizes wasn't the greatest and was expensive overall for what I had."

• "Service was fine and we waited 25 minutes for the food but what really disappointed my friend and I were the portions and quality of food."
• "The service by Veri was amazing! She was so attentive and helped with recommendations."
• "The service was awful, it’s incredibly overpriced and they also added a 13.5% tip to the bill which seemed excessive, given the service was terrible."
• "The service was fine and we waited 25 minutes for the food but what really disappointed my friend and I were the portions and quality of food."

Ambiance and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "It's a very instagrammable environment."
• "The vibe is so chill and the decor is beautiful."
• "The decor is on point and fresh, the platter we shared delicious."

Cons:

• "It was a bit loud for a family meal, but life is best lived with the volume up!"
• "I personally didn’t enjoy the loudness inside the restaurant, would have been great to have live jazz music or so."
• "It's a shame about the service because the food tasted good (what we tried). We ordered our brunch but then it took 40 mins for the food to arrive."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Food was good...I enjoyed my sweet potato pancake with avocado (added bacon and sausage which were both so tasty and meaty)."
• "Fabulous food that was such fun and a different way of eating. Have food intolerances and the staff were so helpful and attentive to make it work for me."
• "We were taken care of by Disha and she was just so amazing. We visited on Wednesday morning for a stomach filling brunch and drinks."

Cons:

• "All that aside if we would have purchased each item individually our bill would have been roughly £170 but we were charged £210 (£42 per person) before service charge and not including drinks."
• "Nice cocktails, tasty savoury food but it was all spoiled by how noisy the restaurant was. Clearly no one tested the acoustics before opening."
• "We’d been looking forward to visiting for a while but sadly, the experience was quite disappointing. We ordered Rips n Dips, and three mezze per person (as suggested by the waiter) All of the food came out super quick and all at the same time."
