We had a fabulous evening with our Canadian relatives. The food and service were excellent. The background music was a little too loud.

To be honest I’m getting tired of Drury Buildings. I first went in 2017 and it was great food and a nice chilled atmosphere. Now it’s noisy, with rude staff and a menu that never changes. The staff are really unfriendly, coming off as standoffish. I asked a waiter for a straw for my G&T and he told me they don’t have straws. I pointed out that there was a man sitting at the bar with 2 straws. The waiter told me he brought them in from outside … who carries straws around with them? Anyway, that was the first time I’ve ever had a restaurant tell me they don’t have straws. Customer service … non-existent.

Another fabulous meal at the Drury Buildings. Food and service were amazing. Even though it was busy, we were seated away from the noisiness and were able to enjoy a chilled meal. Wine was gorgeous and honestly, the garlic and chilli tender stemmed broccoli keeps me coming back! Already looking forward to our next visit!

Good food, especially the focaccia plate with prosciutto, mortadella etc. Good environment and music volume. Poor service, lack of basic etiquette when it comes to serve people.
