   Lovely looking restaurant with a good menu The lady that greeted us was lovely and showed us to a table upstairs which was a bit quieter than downstairs, which suited us. It was however a bit cramped and there was not a lot of room between the tables. Three of us chose the lamb flatbread and one chose the ham egg and chips. Whilst the lamb and the flatbread tasted delicious the whole dish was just lukewarm It needed to be hotter. The ham was more of a chop and that dish was hot enough but a bit overcooked. When we said we didn’t want puddings we were politely told we would have to vacate the table after another 20mins We were only there 1hour and 20mins and felt like we were being asked to leave because we were not spending enough. It’s a shame as we chose this place based on some good reviews so I’m sure we were just unlucky.

   The music was too loud for lunch. We were moved upstairs which was a little bit better. Good service.

   The cocktails were absolutely amazing, I can also recommend the Tuna starter as it was just fantastic. Same with the fish and chips. The tables are arranged very closely where we sat, so there was a little bit of bumping into one another. Overall it was great, I can absolutely recommend it!

   We enjoyed dinner for two last night. Miso Tuna as starters then shared the Tomahawk steak. Food was consistently good throughout and a decent bottle of Rioja. Good service and a lively atmosphere as to be expected on a Saturday night. First time we had dined here and we would definitely return.

   Food was delicious (I had roasted sea bream - husband had pork belly) but portions small. Thought it a little overpriced for meal size but service was fast and friendly. Restaurant was pretty noisy as it was busy plus they have DJ Friday & Saturday nights.... but we knew this before we went so can't complain. Lively & fun atmosphere in the heart of Soho.

    Fabulous place, although we found the music a bit loud for us. The staff were amazing, friendly and very attentive. They accommodated my disabled Mum by giving us a downstairs table and were on hand immediately to help break her fall when she tripped over a chair leg! The food was tasty with generous portions and fairly reasonable for London prices. A great place for our pre-theatre dinner and I’d definitely come back.
