"We did enjoy the food at FB. Some dishes were more creative than others, but all were very well executed and presented. Cocktails are creative and well made. A lot of people have been moaning about the size of the dishes. I don’t share their opinion. It is made clear that the dishes are meant like Tapas and the staff recommend three dishes per person. We had three dishes each and were very well filled. Prices, at £6-11 per dish, are perfectly fair for London and the quality. Service seemed a bit confused at first, but turned out well throughout the evening. The room is modern in a stylish Soho kind of way if a little dark and doesn’t really inspire me to linger. I didn’t like the plasticky quality of the tables and the cutlery being provided in a ‘tin’. Keep it stylish and don’t try to add touches that are too casual. We did have a good time at FB, but is it a keeper? In the light of strong competition in London FB would have to come up with some very interesting dishes to try in order to bring me back."
