Price

Pros:

• "Somewhat expensive but well worth the price."
• "Went for a brunch there and although not cheap, feels like you get your money's worth."

Cons:

• "It’s way overpriced for what it is."
• "Maybe a bit too overpriced because of the serving?"
• "The drinks were somewhat pricey but the location high above Regent Street and the view of the Oxford Street/ Regent Street area has to be factored in."

• "Drinks are pretty average but I believe there's a minimum spend of around £70."
