Food Quality
Pros:
"It is simply one of the best chicken burgers you will ever have."
"Everything we had was delicious."
"The Merguez sausage and full English were the standouts and certainly set us up for the day."
"Barrel aged smoked negroni was also outstanding."
"The vegan burger was good with unusual, not unpleasant, flavours."
"All of the main dishes were good."
"Food absolutely delicious."
Cons:
"Limp streaky bacon."
"The only slight disappointment was the grapefruit margarita, which was far too sweet."
"Food was good but the menu said chips were gluten free but what it didn't say was on a Saturday they are cooked in the same fryer with foods containing gluten, so in fact not gluten free, especially for a coeliac."
"The waitress with black straight hair seems very unhappy."
"The only reason for the rating of 4 and not of a 5, is because of its limited choices for vegans and vegetarians - other than these 2 options there is nothing."
"The burgers, I tried both beef and chicken have really gone down hill."
"Last time i had a 'tagine' which was nothing like a tagine. Really dry overcooked tomato sauce."

"The waitresses were all friendly and helpful, service overall was attentive without being suffocating at all."
"The staff was very helpful - overall a great experience."
"Nice dinning area, friendly staff."
"The service was courteous and absolutely on point: one of our mains got burnt, the manager replaced it immediately and offered us a round of drinks."
"The service was excellent and friendly. Even though the place was buzzing, the service wasn't rushed."
"Staff were very pleasant and we weren't kept waiting long."
"Staff are excellent and very attentive."
Cons:
"Rude staff, toxic atmosphere."
"Why are the staff so rude?!"
"Not willing to help, rude and unpleasant."
"Eat 17 is a snooty restaurant with rude disinterested staff & West End prices."
"Over Priced Mediocrity, Service is distinctly Average.. bordering on poor ...still waiting on our water."
"They don’t actually do brunch until 3pm on weekends, despite what their website says- it stops at 12."
"The staff, not all of them, but the leaders, are a little pompous."
Ambiance
Pros:
"Perfect place for Sunday Brunch. Excellent, good value food, and wonderfully friendly service."
"The interior is a modern take on an Italian osteria, low ceilings and cozy."
"This place is so nice, we ventured out from our NW6 local area to see what Walthamstow had to offer."
"Beautiful restaurant in the heart of Walthamstow village."
"Great atmosphere. Celebrated my birthday here."
"Extensive seating inside, as well as on the pavement and in a courtyard at the back."
"This place is really cozy and perfect for enjoying food and relaxing."
Cons:
"Loud music and too dark to read menu so everyone had their phone out."
"Too much noise for no reason."
"It can be hard to hear the person over the table from you."
"Only slight negative is that it was really very loud and we had to almost shout to hear each other."
"Insanely loud, clubby music for breakfast time."
"Terrible acoustics so everybody shouting to hear each other."
"It may be slightly too noisy (at times) if you’re looking for a quite spot."

"The best value for money found in a while."
"Although the service can be a little slow, the food is great and priced just right."
"Very reasonable value for extremely tasty food, good service and a lovely atmosphere."

Cons:
"Over Priced Mediocrity, Service is distinctly Average.. bordering on poor ...still waiting on our water."
"The prices are high due to its location in the gentrified Village area."
"All very expensive for what was. A real shame!"
"But as these 4 tacos cost me almost 23$. I felt compelled to say something."
"Very expensive."
"It's a little pricey for Walthamstow - £45 for 3 of us for breakfast - but the food was absolutely yummy so I think is worth the price."
