"We 'd been meaning to go to Crafthouse for a while and finally managed it for a Sunday lunch on a blustery Sunday the offer was very reasonable compared to some prices £25 for 2 courses. We came up in the private elevator from the road a nice touch; but then were left waiting in a corridor for 5 minutes whilst staff rushed around a half full dining room, then taken straight to our seats in the bar side of the restaurant we would have had a view of Boar lane and South Leeds if the blinds across the windows hadn 't;t all been fully down I can appreciate there would have been some glare earlier in the day, but the sun had already set when we arrived and so half our view was of greige. Service was a bit 'by the numbers ' there was a set order they worked in and we wouldn 't be allowed to order food at the same time as a drink even though we were ready. Starters were OK cured salmon was tasty and well presented, though the accompanying slice of brioche looked a little mean and unevenly toasted; the prawn cocktail was very salty prawns with a limp and tired salad and not enough Marie Rose. Mains were where it all fell apart we were offered beef or lamb either well done or pink and both settled on well, as medium was not allowed; Both meats arrived rare, and though tasty were very tough and gristly cuts, with a lot of visible fat around and through the meat. Veg were OK, though didn 't;t feel particularly freshly cooked. With a (very good) rum old fashioned at £18 the total came to £76 including a 12.5% service charge. Ambiance was noisy, with some dance ish music a bit too loud for my tastes perhaps closing the door on the very noisy group in the glassed off 'private ' dining room would have helped. I 'm glad we went, but there are much better options for the price, or less don;t think we 'll return."

"for a culinary tasty spitalfields has always represented for me. androuet, blixen and la pietra are a few who have touched my taste buds. close to living and working, it is unavoidable that I will have a walk through the market and my request for food will be fulfilled by a snack here. the wright brothers were on my list. I follow their Instagram feed and love the tantalizing food recordings and bag of personality have their posts. in the did, I think that more and more, instagram influences my decision where to dine. it is not always easy or cost-effective to book a photographer to improve their website gallery, so that instagram helps to cut corners in a visual, up to the current and effective way. last year, she left on her food gallery in comparison to a fast snap on her smartphone of the special of the day on her Instagram feed. I urge the gastwirte to truly embrace this kind of marketing. as always, back to review. wright brothers in spitalfields is filled with an older, intelligent serious amount. it is only important that they know if they are a bart, thin jeans and are a little more shoreditch than city. that said it doesn't make any difference, because it's in the middle of it. we tried to lunch and although we had not made a reservation, we were squeezed in. one thing I have to note that it was busy, but the waitress while she serves one table and recognizes another who practically snapped her finger on attention, nodded us the way to tell us that she would be in a second with us. this type of rolling to cheer, reminds me of the old school service, when the front of the home team saw this industry really as a career route, in contrast to gap fillers / travelling jobs. it brings them to lightness and flea mouse, they know they are in good hands. After we sat with menus, we asked for a few straightening and she continued to blow our thoughts further by knowing exactly what was in the board, as it was suggested and presented. we were sold. it was literally a breath of fresh air. I rarely talk about the service in restaurants, unless it is particularly bad, since most of the time it is easy to fit and not worth mentioning. that was the bar for all future places I'm going to surpass. I don't hold my breath. we went for the express punch menu, which is worth money with 2 curses for £21.00 or 3 courses for £25.00 the portion sizes are not rational, they are actually left at the top. for beginners I had places achovies, with shaved winter bites and cut-off. sam (not me or who lives in essex) had graceburn feta, pomelo and cashew nuts salat. the specificity here is seafood, but I just wanted to add that they do steak so that meat lovers are not let out. for the main course it was a ugly garnel filled burger with chips and chipotle mayo for sam and a multil mushroom rich wild garlic mushroom tagliatelle. Yeah, it was rocking. we were good with our decision to come here, because that was excellent. during the meal, the service continues attentive and on point. real smile and intention to help. I highly recommend visiting this one or other place. they have definitiw dinge I'm sorry, right!"
