This spot surprised me in all the right ways. The truffle hot dog was next-level - delicious and full of flavour. The Coconut Herb cocktail became one of my favourites too. The atmosphere was really nice and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely would come back again

The brassiere bar is very charming and classic. We had a nice booth table for two looking at the band and singer. The food was excellent and the prices fair for its level of restaurant. The wine prices however were well above average for similar restaurants. The band and singer were very good but performed only briefly before taking a very extended break. The waiter was very attentive but it was clear he was trying to turn tables and we felt rushed. Finally had to refuse to give him our dessert order immediately after the main course to give ourselves some time to actually drink our expensive bottle of wine.

Apologies forgot our waiter's name but also attentive warm & friendly. Thanks Team Shoreditch!

Our new favourite for pre theatre food and cocktails. Beautiful restaurant with attentive staff, food amazing and theatre menu was excellent value for a central London location. And after the meal, we headed downstairs for a few cocktails before the show. Great choice of drinks and lovely seating area. Would thoroughly recommend - I think the grand building may put people off thinking it’s a bit posh and expensive, but it’s a real gem of a place and you should go !!
