    The blues kitchen is always a favourite of mine, however Shoreditch branch seemed to have mastered the art of perfect and friendly service and incredible warm and homely food. Great vibe, decor leaves mind to wander, would absolutely visit again.

    Food is okay. Staff are nice and polite but services where delayed - waiting for the bill, asked for a take away box twice but never received it because no one came back until I decided to just leave it. But overall, ambiance is ok. Thank you

    Large table of 14. Great service and so much food we couldn’t finish. Great value for money. To top the evening, we had superb entertainment which reminded us of being back in Clarksdale and New Orleans. Thanks again for a fun night, any chance of one of your 1/2 price key rings? 👍🏻

    We were 15 minutes late as there was a problem on the Underground and we apologised but the lady on reception was quite unpleasant and told use we would have to eat our meal quickly and only one course! We were seated at the bar to eat! If we weren’t so hungry I think we would have walked out! Won’t go there again!

    Our waitress is the only reason I didn’t give a 1 for service. She was the night’s saving grace. 2 person table to which I arrived 10 mins early. They could seat me but confirmed they’d start the clock as soon as I sat down and couldn’t add on an extra 10 mins as my guest wouldn’t arrive until then. Highly inflexible approach that set the tone for the evening. Then when we were told we had to leave, we placed our bags by the bar whilst one of us went to the bathroom and the guy behind the bar shoo’d my friend away. Supposedly ‘the bar space is reserved’. What makes you think you can treat people like cattle? Such an awful experience honestly and for food that was sub-par at best. The menu is very limited fyi. Our waitress was amazing and I wish I got her name. Short blonde hair, face tattoos and vegan. Hope that helps narrow it down!
