6.5/10The food was great, the location and the vibe was lovely. There was a server, however, who was very loud and brought a lot of attention to themself, distracting not just my party but other parties as well.

The food was as delicious as it was beautiful. The waitress was really caring and the music created a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Pity that brunch food stops at 5pm. Note that options are relatively pricey, but I suppose you pay for the unique look of the food and the charm of the place.

Extremely polite and lovely staff. The ambiance was lovely and they dishes and drinks were beautiful and so good. Rarely you find a place where the beautiful and instagrammable food also tastes good, and this delivers.

Just a lovely intimate bistro , away from all the hustle & bustle of central London. My friends surprise 50th day in London , we did the Crystal maze experience , so this was perfect to get brunch after all the running about . This was his second surprise , and violas took the cake we bought and then brought it out out to sing happy birthday & my friend was landed his big 50. Lovely food & lovely service. Will highly recommended. Will return.

Hi, I had taco pancakes for brekkie and they were seriously disappointing. They were cold and stiff to an extend that it was hard to cut them, guessing old from previous day. The whole dish was super sweet and not feeling at all. I would definitely not recommend this dish.

5.5/10The ambiance was tacky-attractive. The staff was very attentive. The repast had everything one finds in a standard “high” tea, but the quality was below what was expected: the scones and the pastries were cold; the clotted cream was in a sealed container that one could by at the market: the pastries were of poor quality, the sandwiches were cut in half, not quarters, and were made of the least expensive ingredients. All in all, it was a disappointment.

8/10Understandably popular with a good brunch menu and attentive staff. Booking at a busy late morning time meant we only were given an hour and an hour meant an hour.

8.5/10Very cute small place. Needs reservations. Brunch food was good. Large portions and tasty. Fancy coffees with real flowers are pretty but very sweet and geared maybe more for Instagram or younger people with a sweet tooth. But good for how it was described in the menu.

We recently visited the restaurant and found the experience to be average. The food was decent, but the portion sizes were small compared to the prices, which felt a bit steep for what we received. The atmosphere was also lacking; the staff didn’t seem particularly welcoming, which made the dining experience less enjoyable. Overall, while it wasn’t a bad meal, I don’t think I would return given the value for money.

4/10Almost empty, strange cold bright lighting and club music created a strange atmosphere. Didn’t have the one thing on the menu we’d come for and didn’t say so when we got the menus, food was very average, quite bland.

We got to the restaurant and waited for 15 minutes outside, with no one welcoming us in…the waiter Maria kept looking at us a couple of times and just passing us by which I found so rude and thought was it because I was black/African?? I had to go inside and speak to her and her response wasn’t friendly at all…she showed us to our table, did not look our way not once.we sat down for more than 10 minutes before she took our order…food was fine but her aura caught me off by surprise, she's was so rude talking to us and didn’t have a friendly face at all.the place was beyond gorgeous but the reception wasn’t friendly at all

3.5/10Disappointing. I asked for the granola, letting the waiter know i have a hazelnut allergy. When the granola arrived it was only yoghurt, with little fruit and no edible flowers. If i had been told the granola had hazelnuts I would have ordered something else. I asked for more fruit and was able to get an extra plate which was greatly appreciated, but the whole dish looked nothing like it does online. I then ordered the honey chai latte which was just placed on my table, no explanation on how to serve it and honestly it was very uninteresting tasting. I often found myself waiting and needing to try to flag down the waiter to the point of feeling quite ignored. I was the first person in, a solo diner, and was looking for a real cute experience as i wanted to brighten my morning but instead left disappointed and wishing i had gone elsewhere really.

3.5/10Don’t be misled by the vibrant photos online. This restaurant has an odd and inconsistent atmosphere—some areas are dimly lit, almost as if the lights aren't working, while others have harsh, bright lighting that feels more like a hospital than a dining space. The layout is also cramped, making the overall experience feel awkward rather than premium. As for the food, I found it overly salty and rather underwhelming in flavor. It was quite basic and didn’t live up to expectations.

10/10Its just a fab place to meet and eat and be able to speak while being served well but not pressurised. The Eggs Benny left no room for pud- must go there properly hungry next time.
