"So when I arrived no staff greeted me at the door to take me to a table It felt rude to just walk in I couldn’t take a seat because there were piles of plates on each table Tables were not clean I ordered Odd system The layout needs to be changed I don’t appreciate having a table near the toilets it’s disgusting and unhealthy Food was cold no wonder it took 10mins I ordered the vegan breakfast containing sour dough toast avocado cooked tomatoes one mushroom and very small hash browns As soon as I ate the mushrooms and avocado I spat it out it had the taste of vinegar It wasn’t fresh When I got home i felt very nauseas and I’ve had vomiting and stomach pains all night since They claimed it was mixed with lemon juice I didn’t taste lemon … I tasted vinegar I’m still unsure how it made me vomit but I was perfectly fine before I ate here As a waitress myself else where I’m very fast paced, I felt like i had to get up and do their job for them or tell them to clear tables because the mess bugged me that much and many others complained too Short staffed or not it won’t take 5 mins to clear all tables busy or not You see it clean it To avoid complaints be polite and create a welcoming environment keep busy keep clean All staff looked miserable which drives customers away Thankfully I got a refund on my meal But it won’t change my health and a sorry isn’t good enough for me"

"I booked this for me and my friend because of his proximity to our site and thought 3/5 would do for a humble dinner at the end of the day as we were hungry. Big mistake while traveling as a brasserie, the food was more in line with the burgers, steaks and salads served in weather podons, but far below the standard. One of the few still decent looking dishes on the menu was the lampshades, it was too fat and greasy and the potato too hard to finish for my ever starving friend. The avocado and pancetta salad was first dirty, it contained normal bacon, not pancetta and second, the game was so drowned in Balsamico vinegar that everything I could taste was soggy, mucous leaves. Although the service was ok, the ambience was dirty. The brasserie looks like a trendy restaurant as you can see on the site, but it only looks empty, most of the time. If you go to a restaurant on a Friday night and its empty, though for a table, you feel quite reluctant to actually admit, you have a reservation. it had the feeling of a huge empty atrium that you could find in a hotel lobby or possibly airport atrium. The view of the place just didn't work, the food was dirty and seemed like they were trying to be trendy after pub menus of 10 years ago and to worry about the nearby tourism market, but overall it was terrible and I'm embarrassed to have found it on an open table and taken my friend there, provided it was pretty nice."
