We had a catch-up pre Christmas lunch at Ezra. The restaurant is lovely. Beautifully fitted out. The food was amazing. We were the only table there for lunch. We thought that may have been due to the price was a little high for a casual lunch, and as we were the only one’s there, the service was quite average. If the restaurant even had a lunch version of the same menu, but made it slightly less expensive, I think the restaurant would have been busier. Would we go back? We would, but probably for dinner. Once we paid our bill, with a generous tip, we finished our wine and left without being able to say thank you, as there was no one in the restaurant when we left.

The staff were so friendly and polite. It was a busy night due to Christmas celebrations, even though they were working so hard they handled the pressure extremely well. The only thing l would suggest is an easier way to order food.
