    Nice atmosphere. Service quite bizarre. Initially overly attentive and then non existent and the waitress didn’t really seem to have a clue what was going on! Food was only ok but the bread was amazing. Attractive building and a nice restaurant layout.

    My experience was amazing from start to finish! Samuel greeted us warmly upon arrival, setting a fantastic tone for the visit. Joana showed us around downstairs, and her knowledge and friendliness made us feel right at home. The hotel itself is lovely, with every detail carefully considered. A special shoutout to Javier, the amazing manager, whose professionalism and attention to detail truly stood out. Can’t wait to return!

    Loved this place, the staff are super friendly and attentive but not “in your face”. It is indeed a grand café, more of a grand brasserie. Can highly recommend the nibbles, beautifully served warm bread, hot padron peppers and superb iberico ham. Fab wines and really lovely mains. Even the espresso was spot on. Well done the Brush, we had a great birthday celebration for my husband. We didn’t try the cocktails but the mixologist was creating a range for staff training purposes and they looked amazing. Next time….

    Nice environment although chairs cannot take coats on them so had to put them on the floor. Staff attentive. Food not great. Burger overcooked. Fish pie was huge, but under seasoned and bland. No new world wines.

    Had a fantastic evening at this wonderful spot! The entire experience from the cocktail bar upstairs for drinks before dinner to the dinner was amazing!! Loved the DJ and live music at the cocktail bar. The service and food is fantastic! Check it out, you won't be disappointed. I'm going to be coming back again.

    Nice choice in Shoreditch. Confusion with servers over the experience booked . Rectified by manager who was really apologetic and offered free drinks. Food was good flavorsome, tasty. Full of flavor. Good option of drinks!

    The smoked salmon, scrambled egg on sourdough came with only those three things on the plate. At minimum, for the price point, I expected some garnish on the plate. The fish pie was very tasty but again, lack any and all presentation.

    Went initially to have a look at this hotel and decided to have dinner wow was absolutely blown away by the decor ambience service and food London is quite possibly an overrated nightmare for dinner but this place is beyond words the flavours of each dish were clearly individually created definitely not from a factory freezer every single dish was created with a clear sense of origin and beauty I cannot describe who fantastic the whole experience was please do yourself a favour and sample this taste of culinary excellence in Hoxton
