Service Quality

Pros:

• "Seren was our server, she was friendly and attentive but not overly so."
• "Our waitress was only half attentive, the beef wellington was not good."
• "Service below average. Arrived early for table and was sat at a bar table and was told our table would be ready on time."
• "Service was top Notch! Our waiter was very attentive and when I asked questions about the food I could see cooking he took the time to explain everything to me."

• "A wonderful lunch experience. Dining room feels spacious and high quality, and the open kitchen is a nice touch."
• "The wagyu meatballs were very dry. The beef Wellington was very chewy and difficult to eat."

Ambience

Pros:

• "The restaurant interior is cool and has an industrial rustic feel to it, if that makes sense. The high ceilings are great and the open kitchen view is amazing."
• "Great restaurant just opposite St Andrews Square, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Food is superb, presentation was excellent and our main course was exceptional."
• "The atmosphere and service were good. Our waiter was particularly friendly and helpful."
• "When I visited for breakfast, I was pleasantly welcomed by stuff. They asked if I have any allergies or special dietary needs, which was a cool thing to do."

Cons:

• "I’m not sure the 'kids eat free' thing is a great plan for a more upscale price point/experience..no offence at all, but it does encourage parents to bring young children, which is not the kind of fine dining dinner experience my husband & I are used to."
• "The restaurant was busy so the service was quite slow but the kitchen were very full on busy. The food was good but it is a very noisy environment when trying to have a conversation due to background music."
• "The beef Wellington and starter were disappointing. Lacked seasoning, poor presentation, and overall, a disappointing experience."
• "We were given a buyagift voucher to use here. I went online to validate the voucher, then had to contact the Bread Street Kitchen to confirm our booking."
