    We booked for 4 of us for the standard Brunch on Saturday. We ate late so it was pretty quiet. The service started ok but then the waitress accidentally split a whole glass of Prosecco over my friend. She was very apologetic and it was obviously an accident. There was a glass of wine on the same tray which was splashed with the Prosecco so she took this away saying she would replace it. She came back to the table where my friend was still drying off with a new Prosecco but the same wine glass. It was obviously an accident but there was no gesture by the restaurant for this mishap. Food was ok. There were 4 of us and we spent £270 so would have been nice for someone to have come over.

    I have allergy for so many things and that can make it difficult for me to go out to eat. I got really good food and service 100%. If I am in London then I will come back for sure.

    Overall great experience, we were 7ppl the table was marginally too small because we could barely fit the food - but the food itself was excellent. However we ordered a bottle of wine and the waitress poured too much in each glass so it was only enough for 6ppl and then asked if we wanted a second bottle- not great and v unprofessional. This place has great potential but need to up the staff game. I won’t be coming back with a big group again but maybe for lunch with my husband
