They accommodated a table of 9 of us at a very busy time of year. Fantastic service and food.

Very sad to see how far the quality of this place has dropped. Service is slow, atmosphere is loud, lights bright, just feels stressful. Coffee was not made well, and the food quality has dropped. It was the best place around for breakfast- such such a shame!

Great staff and very interesting and unusual brunch menu . Highly recommended It was a bit cold inside as we were near the door which didn’t close properly when people came in - that’s my only minor criticism .

Chicken and waffle has been consistently good each time and is great value for money (compared to other brunch dishes at other restaurants in London)

Food overall good, but side of bacon was cold and for me looked like it wasn’t cooked enough (raw white fat). £60 brunch for two is quite expensive. Service excellent and very courteous.

Lovely environment, amazing food-especially the fried chicken waffle which was incredibly juicy yet not too greasy! Really friendly staff which made the full experience enjoyable

Food was good but more expensive than I’m used to for a brunch spot. Nice portions though.

Watch out! You can only book half cup in the barbican on Open Table, the one I wanted was in Kings Cross. Completely my mistake but they obviously get it all the time as I was advised straight away that I must mean “the other restaurant - it is only 2 stops on the train”, but we were a table of 8 made up of parents with babies. Completely impractical. I thought they were pretty rude in dealing with the situation. Why both restaurants aren’t bookable I don’t know!
