"Babessss let me tell you this restaurant gives you the best food. It is absolutely delicious and it's not your ordinary recipes. It is like Michelin style dishes like they actually put effort in pairing things together according to their taste and texture. Anchovies: we were expecting just a few pieces like other restaurants but nope. It's an entire plate of fish! The portion already got us excited and what brings it to another level is the warm sourdough bread. And what's every better? They charged £1.85 for extra bread! We've had experience where restaurants charged us £4.80 for two pieces of extra bread, so this is amazing to us. Grilled mackerel: omg the fish is cooked to perfection and with all the sauce/veggies that come with it, it's so sophisticated and simply delicious. The size is great too as we were expecting less than that. Crispy chicken thigh: we made a joke when we were browsing the menu because it's around £14 and we thought with the inflation and everything, it'd come with one piece of thigh. But NOPE! It came with 3 and all these food is plenty enough to satisfy us. And let me tell you the cauliflower purée in this dish is just phenomenal. So yummy. Chocolate pudding: we aren't usually a dessert in a restaurant kinda people but because everything is so good and the dessert price isn't too expensive, we decided to go for it. First impression is the very nice portion size because it usually comes in a GU pudding sorta size but nope. This is a SOUP BOWL!!! Omg that already got my heart and the taste with the lemon biscuit is just so goooooooood! You gotta try it out. You gotta."

"Not a good place for a quick breakfast. Food and drink service took ages (about half an hour from ordering for coffee/juice and another 15 mins for food). When we entered, we asked if there was anything suitable for vegans and they didn't seem to know what this was but the menu actually did have tonnes of options which was great. One of us ordered a tuna toastie and the bread was well toasted but filling cold and cheese not melted. The orange and apple juice was freshly squeezed which was a nice fresh touch but the menu did not specify this and wasn't really what I was after so would not have ordered if I'd have known. We ordered a bottle of wine, but it had been about 30-40 minutes by the time it came so at that point we weren't interested anymore really as the food was there and we were keen to get off. Therefore we asked if we could have just 2 glasses which they gave us but then charged for the whole bottle. When we queried this, they said they didn't serve wine by the glass so we'd have to purchase the whole thing which is fair enough but they hadn't stated that when we asked for the glasses and also hadn't actually given us the rest of the bottle so felt a bit like they were trying to rip us off (they did give us the rest of the bottle when we asked as we had paid for it). I understand that Sunday mornings are normally busy for cafes (it was virtually empty initially when we got there but it definitely got busier) which is why I've given it 3 stars, not 2, as I understand preparing fresh food takes time but it was more the drinks service that was disappointing. The servers appeared disinterested/apathetic. The food options were plentiful and most of it tasty, and very reasonably priced for London but the service and confusion sadly left us with a sour taste."
