Food Quality
Pros:
"Each dish that I tried was both tasty and thoughtful."
"Brunch was delicious and the menu really interesting."
"The food is a real treat too, try the ox cheek tagliatelle. Incredible."
"The food is tasty, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant."
"The food was genius; inventive, luscious, carefully composed; a perfect balance of apparent simplicity and culinary complexity."
"The food was still amazing, you can share most of the dishes but if you don’t like sharing there are bigger dishes you can have as mains, the cod’s roe and the hake were delicious."
"Every single ingredient on the plate was great and they all combined in a mouth-watering bite."
Cons:
"Pastas, although tasty were again very average."
"Make sure you're not hungry, unless you to spend a fortune on dish after dish."
"The orecchiette and chowder didn’t really hit the mark imo, generally good though."
"Pasta out of the packet super oily, no delicacy or simplicity you would expect from a decent Italian dish."
"The cod and broccoli (literally a puck of cod and brocolli) came to £20 and was again bland."
"The food, essentially well under par overall."
"However, the food was really expensive for what it was. £16 for some pasta and sauce is a joke."
Service
Pros:
"Food is delicious and all the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable."
"Appropriate number of waiting staff, who were excellent."
"The team on the day were brilliant, super friendly, accommodating and made everything run so smoothly!"
"Our server Carey was very knowledgeable and took time to talk to us about the drinks at the bar."
"The waiters were sparky & clever & exceptionally friendly and charming."
"Service here is also really up my ally: careful and professional yet jovial and convivial."
"The service was great. The sommelier suggested the perfect wine."
Cons:
"The service was unfortunately really slow."
"Good food but awful service from staff that didn’t care."
"The service was also disappointing - our waiter was abrupt and aggressive."
"Service was terrible. Felt constantly ignored, kept having to call the waiter over when we wanted something."
"Worst service i’ve ever had in my life, was actually laughable."
"Service was OK, but it took us quite a long time to attract anyone's attention to let us pay."
"What really made the night disappointing is the poor service from Chris, our waiter who was nothing but rude and arrogant."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Although the space is vast, the restaurant is carefully lit and organised to create a sense of intimacy with your fellow diners."
"Very intimate place with a lovely atmosphère. Quite expensive tho... 20£ for pasta is too much for me."
"Love this atmosphere under the railway arches in the evening."
"It's becoming typical for an East London eatery in a railway arch to serve exceptional food - which Mission does - however it offered up warm service, a classy but in imposing atmosphere and superb wine list."
"If you are looking for a restaurant that combines delicious cuisine with a stylish and intimate atmosphere, than you should definitely try Sager+Wild."
"The ambiance of the restaurant is simply enchanting and the attentive staff added to the overall charm of the evening."
"It's a lovely, romantic, candle-lit, dark-wood-panelled joint."
Cons:
"The outside eatery lacked in atmosphere."
"There was no atmosphere outside, as the only other people who came outside were smokers."
"The service wasn't great, we waited ages for our meals."
"However, I don't think I will go any time soon as I was not comfortable with their approach to social distant dining."
"The menu was very limited."
"Unfortunately the food is disappointingly basic and really lacking depth or complexity of flavour."
"The toilets were abysmal. Despite them being decorated very lavishly, there was still water all over the floors, a terrible smell and the toilet seats were broken."
Value
Pros:
"I love this venue. Arguably actually my favourite wine venue in London, not to mention the wines, which are rare, difficult to find and really reasonably priced."
"Great value and lunch and early dinner where you can have a bowl of pasta and a glass of house wine for £10."
"Really enjoyed the early bird special - a plate of pasta and a glass of wine for 10 pounds, from 5-7 every day (weekends included!)."
"Fantastic food, great value for money in my opinion."
"Fair prices with a fantastic meal deal."
"Fantastic food and fantastic wines at reasonable prices."
"Good value overall and nice place!"
Cons:
"Only drawback is the wine. They could do with a few more entry level bottles in the £20-30 range."
"The wine list is long and rather expensive (unless you go Spanish)."
"You charge service charge yet don't pay it to your waiters but it is kept for management as told to me by a waiter."
"Fabulous selection of wines but careful, your choice can make the meal a bit too expensive."
"The wine list is huge and expensive, starting at 35-40 for a bottle, disconcerting for a quick after work dinner."
"The size of the portions is a joke - 'main' dishes are the same size as the starters, at twice the price or more."
"However be prepared for a pricy bill, considering its east end location."
