We entered the restaurant at 7 pm on a Sat night. (Wasn’t busy) There was no where to ‘check in’ or no one to show you your table. We had to get a waiter to stop and find our table, they then had to find someone else who then went to a computer shuffled around and then decided where our table wouid be, then you have to get your own drinks, and order through a QR code. So if anything is not right you are stuck. My salad had no feta or mint ( 2 basic ingredients on the menu) I had to chase down a waiter - who then bought me 2 tiny pieces of feta and basil 🤯 there is literally no human interaction, except when a plate is put down infront of you … but they enforce a minimum 5 % tip!! Completely ordinary experience, wouldn’t bother returning.

Look it’s a pub. But it charges more for the view and the service is average. Tables always dirty. Staff are infrequent and not that attentive. Food is generally good especially the pizzas. Unless you really want the view there are better places and avoid on Sundays.

The location is outstanding. The ambience is buzzy. The food was good! For those reasons I would come back again. It's a shame the service is lacking. Apart from being taken to our table the rest was DIY, right down to stacking our plates and moving them off our table. We would have purchased two more rounds of drinks but navigating through the tightly packed tables to the bar went in the too hard basket.

Been here a few times - it’s just too packed on a weekend. There was a large group behind us and they were basically standing over us having conversations. It was annoying. Food was ok. Mysic was loud and crap for lunch crowd. We’re locals in the east. Plenty of better places to go so won’t be rushing back.

Really pleasant place to have lunch. Recommend you pre-book a table regardless of when you are eating. Service was great and food came quickly and correct. Was a lovely place to sip a few extra drinks and look over the water. Then an east ferry home.
