Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Decent enough though and generous but not cheap."
  • "Their menu knowledge was impressive, and their recommendations were spot-on, enhancing our dining choices."
  • "The scones are rubbish. They are soft all over. Proper scones should have a crust on the outside and be soft and gooey on the inside."

  • "It was a wonderful experience! Food and atmosphere were amazing prior to a Broadway show."
  • "Such a lovely place and generous amounts of food."

  • "Food was delicious and janeta was lovely and accommodating. Food not only tasted good but was presented beautifully."

Cons:

  • "very unfortunate experience I went in as I have done several times before ordered a cheese and tomato omelette. It arrived looking a bit odd having started to eat it. I felt it was inedible."
  • "The scones are rubbish. They are soft all over."
  • "My cake was really dry, and tasted old. And it even looked old underneath the cream when I scraped it off."
  • "Pistachio honey cake wasn't so good - it was rather heavy and more on a dry side. Yet pistachio taste was nowhere to be found."
  • "The cake was taking from the fridge just by hand - no special gloves or cutlery."
  • "The serving size is laughably small, more like a kid's menu."
  • "Food was delicious with a very generous conversion of the Garden Breakfast into a vegan one."
  • "Had the cheese foundue which was supposed to serve 2-3 people but it was barely enough for 1."

  • "The place is beautiful too, very nice decor and quick service."
  • "My friends think it could be a glass not washed or the chicken."
  • "The outside dining area was left littered with rubbish & tables were not cleared promptly. I don't want to dine in a landfill site."
  • "The decor is nice I would definately recommend the afternoon tea which had good presentation, lots of different items and very filling and delicious."
  • "The only downside from my experience was the inattentive staff; waited to be served for good 20mins and for the check we had to ask 4 different waiters."
  • "Tge food was delicious, the service is awesome the guy name was ZENUR he was very helpful helped us to know the dishes ingredients and answered alot of questions."
  • "Cakes are stale at the edges and probably not made on site."
