"Was disappointed with the brunch, refills were slow for the drinks. I had booked in advance and specified this was for my birthday celebrations and for 9 people, the table and area I was given was poor compared to every other table/ group, we had two uneven tables joined together. Made it hard to communicate with each-other as it seemed like we were on 2 separate tables. With the food even though I wrote in the notes when pre-ordering about how we wanted the steaks cooked the lady still came over and asked how we wanted the steaks cooked, when I said to her I had written it in the comments she said she hadn’t checked the comments so took it again from me. I said I wanted my steak medium rare and I was served a medium- well done chewy steak and had to send it back and wait for the correct cooked steak whilst everyone else was eating! A few of my friends went for the chicken, all of them complained about how dry and tasteless it was, very disappointing especially having to pay £60. I had paid a deposit on the booking of £160 yet the staff still presented me with a full bill without deducting the deposit amount from the total bill and stuck a whooping £67.50 service charge. So I had to go up and get it rectified. They clearly had not clicked on my name when processing the bill because had they have done this it would not have happened. I saw the man click on my name and it said on there that I had paid £160. For a £60 bottomless brunch I expect better food and more drinks. I go to brunches often and have had better food and much more drinks and paid much less. This did not feel like birthday celebrations and quite frankly I was disappointed with it. Why have a comment section if no one bothers to read it? Botanist you need to do better!"

"fast eating, but full of taste. tortilla is a great Mexican/Californic Burrito chain with five or six outlets dotted over london and I am very happy to have one on my stretch. this filiale is located on the ground floor of a modern building in southwark street right behind the did modern. it has an additional seating area on the floor above, but this is only opened at midday to deal with the humble of hungry office types that float out of the door. it is a caffe like room; clean, tidy and efficient running. they don't want to stay too long when they shot their Mexican snackage, but I think that's part of the point. they will be as happy here as a single daybook, a few or with a bigger party I visited with b and also on my own. as we showed up last Thursday night, I believe it is open until 9 o'clock, as we have gone to the joys of the carnival Christmas market on the south bank along the thems. it seems to be quite calm when they fall in every time after the lunch break and we receive a cordial greeting as we slung over the menu at the wall through the servier zone. as most of the Mexican grill type places that they decide whether they go the burrito or tacos route, then they draw on the compilation of their dream filling. I have at the moment a little taco-love, so I went for a few of the little corn-beauties, with the mouth watering carnitas pork, which was slowly cooked in a centimeter of his life. I built this with some hot salsa, monterey jack cheese, acidic cream and shredded iceberg salad. b went down the Burrito route and had an evil young filled with pork, rice, pinto bee, cheese and a good hit the middle salsa. a bowl of freshly made, very cingy, guacamole with a bag of excellent tortilla chips on the side and we were good to go. this is powerful, powerful fine almost food with excellent ingredients and lovingly prepared. there are large bottles of chili sauce on the table they should need it and there some food bits and pieces that they can buy to take home, they should be happy to make their own Mexican firm. if they are in the mood for a beer, then they are in luck as they have an excellent selection of Mexican and American brews. I had a bottle of the anchor steam beer and b washes the evil with a beautiful Mexican bottle whose name has completely removed me (not the usual corona or dos equis, so I soon have to make a return visit to check on this easy outlet! three quarters of an hour later we left a few very big gries with our starving beautiful sat and my wallet less than £20 light result."
