    Lovely option for eating. Service excellent. Food always tasty and well presented. Varied menu options. A bit more expensive than your standard cafe but food rarely disappoints and it’s a relaxing place in which to spend quality time with family or friends.

    This was our second visit of hopefully many more to come. My wife and I have now had lunch in all the fenwick restaurants and I have to say cafe 21 stands out for value for money, not only is the food great the service is outstanding the speed in which the meal arrives piping hot is second to none. Thank you all for a great lunch. We will be back.

    Lovely afternoon tea, just the right amount. Always think the busy-ness and loud volume takes a bit away from the experience. Would love to see a quieter, more upscale option, especially for the price.

    nice environment and not too fussy pleasant staff food a little cold watched a waitress inadvertently serve another table with the dessert liberally applied to the undersurface of a second dish! good value for money for us the rest of my group delighted with the food i thought the starter salad was superb

    Had afternoon tea and we were very disappointed. Bread with very little filling and 4 large scones and a couple of dry cakes. Very expensive for what we had. We are frequent visitors to the restaurant for the normal menu which is always very good so we left very unhappy.
