• "I wouldn’t describe it as a family restaurant due to signs about sex and drugs."
• "The ground floor smells awful, like ketchup and oil."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Good food, quirky venue and quick service all at a reasonable price."
• "relatively good value."
• "The food is worth it!"
• "Food was good quality and quite well priced in my view for Canary Wharf."
• "Good sized, filling dishes for a reasonably cheap price."

Cons:

• "A 'hidden' 12.5% tip was included in the bill."
• "Now everything is overpriced, quality is not the best and the portions are almost half!"
• "For the quality, I’d say that the food is overpriced especially given the added service fee despite it being discretional."
