Service was pretty bad, we were the only table for a good hour into our brunch. The waitress kept walking towards our table then changing her mind at the last minute. My friend ordered eggs benedict and she brought out eggs be edict with steak instead of ham, and said this was the only eggs benedict option on the menu although the menu did not explain this?! The three of us that had eggs in some form were all disappointed as they were basically hard boiled. We waited so long to get our bill desire trying to catch the waitresses eye when she wandered towards us that we ended up going straight to the bar and asking to pay.

We waited for 40minutes plus for are meal. When it arrived it was below average, and the unlimited booze brunch deal was very disappointing to say the least. We waited for atlas 10 minutes to get a top up and the bloody mary tasted awful! Do not go here.

Arrived on the top floor to be greeted by the owner who made me feel like an old family friend, the barstaff were attentive and the meal was exquisite

I was a bit concerned as I arrived as it was very loud downstairs and I am not such a fan of having to scream at my date over dinner! But the space upstairs was airy and a lot quieter. Just sad the food let them down.

On arrival we were told there were people on our table so sit anywhere in the bar. There was no wine list eventually we were told there was a Merlot or one other I can't remember, no more info was given. We asked why we were in the bar not the restaurant as we'd pre booked the table and we were told it was booked for a private event. We finally managed to find someone to order our food from, the main courses were good. After another struggle to order dessert then wait for far too long it was awful. We eventually got bored of waiting for any kind of service and paid at the bar, the bar man was very sympathetic and cheered us up a bit. We were expecting a lot more and came away disappointed.

Great place with awesome drinks but food was salty. Would recommend as a bar rather than a restaurant.

I've been to the Dolls House in Hoxton Square before so I was looking forward to trying their brunch. When we arrived they seated us right at the back of the restaurant, it was really dark and felt quite dirty. The service wasn't good - they were disorganised, badly managed, weren't helpful and had no initiative (I asked for scrambled eggs and the waitress told me I could only have things on the menu - they had eggs and all the other ingredients to make them), the waitress was also fairly incoherent throughout the meal, it was loud, slow, average food and small portions. The bathrooms were disgusting, I felt like I was in a club. I really wouldn't recommend anything about this place.

Went here with a group of 6 friends for a 50th birthday celebratory meal. Ticked every box. Beautiful space up on the top floor. Short menu but everything we ordered was delicious so very happy. The staff really made it as they were really friendly and helpful

I don't know if it was just bad luck that day but I sadly didn't really enjoy my Sunday lunch there. The place is nicely decorated and there was a good ambience but we had to wait for a very long time to be served, even though the restaurant was half empty, and the roasts were extremely disappointing, with vegetables that looked like they had been taken out of a can. The cocktails were good though.

We went on a Sunday and had a delicious roast - the slow roasted beef was a real highlight, flavourful and tender. Cocktails are very good too!
