    Brilliant brunch, loved it and great decor. Think it literally must’ve just been painted. Think the waitress misunderstood after we asked for the bill from another waiter and they came back saying we needed to leave because they needed the table back (20 mins after our reservation time… we did arrive a bit early) but put that down to a misunderstanding. Overall great experience, high quality ingredients, tad pricey but probably par for the course for the location.

    We went to the theatre to see The Tempest on a Friday and it was very busy! There was an IT issue with our booking and we weren’t on the system. Despite that (and so glad we had a confirmation email) the woman who was managing the seating made every effort to find us a table despite the place being fully booked. We had a table within five mins as someone left and she got us sat immediately and then took our order personally and it was delivered to the table shortly afterwards. Excellently handled and a lovely place for pre show drinks.

    Pleasantly surprised. This was a wine bar with pizzas rather than a pizza restaurant with wine. Great ambience. Muted dark blue colour scheme. Very relaxing. Friendly staff. Tasty fresh pizzas. Great place to meet friends. Even though in Covent Garden, not horribly overcrowded. Don't order drinks from your seats though, as you'll get a service charge. Would go again.
