    The food was very tasty and unusual, would highly recommend. The restaurant was modern and comfortable. Service was a tad slow and while not rude in any way certainly wasn't particularly friendly. Was perplexed when choosing the set menu as to why you couldn't choose a main and a dessert, you could only have that from the al a carte.

    The food was truly outstanding and some of the tastiest and most enjoyable fusion cuisine I've had. Very inventive - the tahini aubergine, cod in tomato broth and the chili/lime lamb chops were superb. The service was a bit strange. The waiter handled us like we were in a theme restaurant and failed to pick up on cues that we weren't appreciating the overbearing attitude. He did recommend some of the better dishes, but he could be argumentative and when I inquired about our ordered deserts which hadn't appeared for over 20 minutes, he was flippant. My dining companion is a slow eater and doesn't like to rush so ten minutes later I told him to cancel the deserts and bring us the bill as we had an event to get to. He curtly told me I was impatient. The deserts then arrived along with the bill which omitted the deserts but added a 12.5% service charge. I decided to call it a wash as I didn't want any further interaction. A shame as I think the waiter was well intentioned, but just a little clueless when it comes to understanding how some diners want to be treated. In hindsight, he tried to persuade my companion not to order the fruit desert saying it was uninteresting. Perhaps he also knew this would be slow for the kitchen to produce. On eventual arrival, the fruit plate was beautiful and extensive and enjoyed by my slow eating, no sugar/gluten/dairy dining partner. All in all, we were both very impressed with the delicious and inventive dishes. This restaurant is definitely making an effort to stand out.

    Overall had a really nice meal. We loved the interior and the ambience of the restaurant, especially with the DJ playing smooth house all night. Food was really tasty however our only criticism was that the portions are quite small. They recommend sharing 2-3 small plates between 2 of you, but we had 4 small plates and were left feeling somewhat hungry after. I would probably recommend 5 small plates between 2 people if you want to be completely satisfied. Service was great, servers were helpful and friendly. Overall I would definitely recommend, was a great choice for a special occasion.

    Having been twice in as many weeks shows the quality of Bloomsbury Street Kitchen. Mediterranean/Japanese fusion is exciting and the food lives up to this hype. From sashimi to gnocchi, tempura to rigatoni, everything is very flavourful and delicious. Smiley staff makes everything better
